BREAKING: Kyochon to Open on Wednesday
Just walked by the soon to open Midtown Kyochon, on 5th Ave. btw. 32+33rd, and one of the guys outside said Wednesday was going to be opening day for the famous Korean Fried Chicken chain’s first Manhattan location. There are some serious looking Korean guys in suits inside, and someone is making chicken. (Presumably for the professional photographer taking photos inside.) Naturally there is a lot of commotion outside (remember what happened at the new Bon Chon?)
Want to read more about what we can expect? Zach posted about the L.A. branch a few weeks ago.

and they said it could never happen…

What’s the difference between Kyochon chicken and Bonchon chicken?
-
Both are city names in Korea. I guess it began in one area and transferred over to another city.
I honestly prefer Unidentified Flying Chickens in jackson heights, Queens over both bon chon and kyochon.

Is UFC really that good? I sat in the basement eating it and was not very impressed at all. Service stunk too and there was hardly anyone except two other parties. I’m guessing it’s the takeout that is superior?

Cool. Somebody in ML should do a Bon Chon vs. Kyochon showdown.

I think Kyochon’s is a bit more flavorful and crunchy, though they use MUCH smaller pieces of chicken, so they’re way less meaty.
-
finally … I love the one in Queens… way better than BonChon!

There is another UFC location in Tenafly, NJ..which is my town..lucky me! I like their fried chicken but my sisters and parents prefer Bonchon over UFC…though UFC in NY may have different taste.

Now we just need a Kyedong fried chicken in Midtown and the trifecta will be complete.
