It seems that all the big street-food brands have decided to set up shop in Paris. After Popey's, Krispy Kreme and maybe Wendy's soon, Bonchon has opened its first store in Paris in the heart of the Sentier.
It's at 240 rue Saint-Denis, Paris 2e, that Bonchon will open its first restaurant this Thursday, March 9, 2023. For your information, Bonchon is the Korean fried chicken fusion chain that already operates around the world. With over 400 locations in 8 countries around the world and over 120 in the United States, the company is preparing to open 25 restaurants in France in the next 5 years.
The brand stands out for its authentic and unique flavors, which are obtained through quality ingredients and here the meat will be 100% French. Thus, one will be able to enjoy a gourmet and quality experience, and savor flavors similar to those of the "hometown" of its founder Jinduk Seo, Busan. Its ambition is to become a key player in the French market and to share its K-food and K-culture with the world.
" Our long-term goal is to open about 25 restaurants in France in the next five years. The Bonchon concept is one of the first Korean fast-food models to offer authentic Korean cuisine in a unique and relaxed setting. The 'made-to-order' concept guarantees freshness and minute preparation of food," says Michel Abdelnour of Bonchon France.
It must be said that its specialty is recognized, in fact, Bonchon was elected"Best chicken wings" by Business Insider, beating out 5 major restaurant chains. The fast food chain has also been named to the "Top 500 Restaurants" by Nation's Restaurant News in 2021, and the "Top 100 Movers & Shakers" by Fast Casual Magazine in 2021. In short, if you haven't heard of Bonchon, it's time for a little discovery.
At Bonchon, the different parts of the chicken, whether it's legs, drumsticks, fillets or wings, are prepared to order. What do we love about them? The famous"Crunch out loud" breading, made by hand and which gives an extra-crispy texture.
In addition to the chicken, the house also offers dishes to share such as Korean dumplings, Bulgogi sliders, japchae (sweet potato vermicelli with beef and vegetables), marinated Korean radishes, kimchi of course (fermented and spicy Napa cabbage) and generous mixed salads.
Everything remains affordable with menus starting at 10€. For this first Parisian address, the restaurant takes the color of the house, of course, but is equipped with a refined, contemporary and modern setting to feel good.
