BonChon Chicken - Korean Restaurant on BumRes.com
I have known the Bon Chon Chicken for quite some time. Bon Chon Chicken’s first location is at the
SeenSpace in Thonglor area. A couple of
years had passed but I never had the urge to try out the Korean fried
chicken. Personally I never fancy Korean
food anywhere since I have never been impressed with any Korean restaurants I
have gone to. Until a good friend of
mine recommended the Bon Chon Chicken, I finally went to check it out. Bon Chon Chicken must be in good business
because they started a second location at the Central World 6th
floor. The one at SeenSpace seemed to be
doing fine since a few other restaurants that were there from the beginning
with Bon Chon already went out of business; such as the Vincenzo Café, Tudari,
and a Thai restaurant (I can’t recall the name). At this time other restaurants still in
business are Roast, Gyu Gyu Tei, Wine Me Up, and Kihiro.
When I first saw the menu at Bon Chon Chicken, I was
wondering why they only have so few selections in the menu. Moreover, the choices appeared to be very
fusion – between Korean and American. In
the small menu, there were the signature Bon Chon Chicken at three serving
sizes, snack food, salads, and rice bowls.
I felt like I was in a fast food restaurant in Korea. However, it was a fast food with Vat + service
charge and they have table service.
Prices of food are reasonably low, around 150 – 200 baht
approximately.
At Bon Chon Chicken, you can’t leave without trying the special
recipe Bon Chon chicken. There are several
aspects to make this chicken special.
First is the thin and crispy chicken skin. Second is the frying technique. Lastly is the marinade and sauce that is
glazed over the chicken. You can choose
wings, drums, and boneless - that’s it.
I assume it the white meat that they want to exclude. In my opinion, the chicken breast can’t
absorb the marinade in so well. Well,
they really know how to make the Chicken.
I loved it. I tried the Garlic
and the Hot; I liked the Hot one more but I felt that it would be more delicious
if it was more spicy. Yeah, I like it
hot! The sauce glazing the crispy skin was To-die-for. Bon Chon Chicken is much better than KFC for
sure.
Besides the Bon Chon Chicken, we had the French fries (80
baht). The fries itself didn’t have any
that special to make me go crazy like the chicken. But, the sauce that came with the fries was
so delicious – the Spicy Mayo sauce. We
also had the Takojung or the mini squid smothered in Korean style sauce (120
baht). This one was a unique one; I haven’t
never had it anywhere before. I loved it
a lot. Bon Chon Chicken really knew how
to spice up the squid to an amazing snack food.
Last dish we had was the Spicy seaweed salad (160 baht), which was so
ordinary. The portion was pleasing and
the dressing had a nice spice.
Bon Chon Chicken is a Korean restaurant (or not?) that impressed
me more than any other Korean restaurants I have gone to (in Bangkok). I have had Korean food in Korea and the food
was so delicious unlike the K-restaurants in Bangkok. What I like about this place are; the intense flavoring
that is so pleasing to Thai palates and the good price. There are only 15 items in the menu but Bon Chon Chicken is sure to keep good quality
for their small selection. I will definitely
come back here after work one day to drink beer and eat the Bon Chon Chicken
till I drop lol…
