Bonchon
We operate Bonchon-branded restaurants that serve Korean-style fried chicken, complementary appetizers, side dishes, beverages, and related menu items. Our signature offerings are wings and drumettes that are battered, twice-fried, and coated with proprietary sauces for a crunchy, flavorful finish. We serve customers seeking high-quality chicken-based meals, including families, students, and businesspeople. Our restaurants may be full-service dine-in locations, counter-service restaurants, delivery and carryout-only locations, or smaller remote kitchen formats focused on off-premises dining. Depending on the location, we offer either a broader menu with table service and a full bar or a more limited menu centered on fried chicken and sides for pick-up, dine-in, or delivery.
