Korean Fried So-So

  Overall

Bonbon is the takeout arm of BonChon, the famed (and rightfully so) Korean fried chicken chain. At exactly two dollars a wing, this place barely qualifies as cheap. But, Korean fried chicken is the one kind of chicken that comes closest to being worth paying a little more, and Bonbon gives you a cheaper alternative to the real thing. The garlic or spicy glaze is delicious but I’d guess BonChon gets first crack at the best pieces of chicken and sends the rest downtown to sit under a heating lamp. If you just want cheap chicken, go somewhere else -- but it’s not bad if you find yourself jonesing for Korean fried chicken but don‘t want to pay the full price.
