New 38th Street Bon Chon Opening Right Now
The new Midtown location of Korean fried chicken chain Bon Chon is opening right now on 38th St. btw. 7+8th. It’s a soft opening, so they don’t have a full menu… but they are serving fried chicken w/ french fries, roll, or rice. There’s a large seating area upstairs, which will be open to anybody during lunch, but after 5pm the place will turn into a sit down restaurant with waiter service upstairs. It sounds like they’ve been giving out free chicken wing samples for a few hours, but that might end once they are officially open for business at 2:30pm. (In other words, if you’re looking for a free wing I’m not guaranteeing anything.)
UPDATE: Before you rush out… drumsticks are at least a 20 minute wait, and they haven’t figured out the ordering system yet. So you might want to give these guys a few days to get settled. Or not.
Check out more photos and the menu, after the jump…

This branch has been shut down by DOH.
Went today (missed this article and didn’t know it was there) – place was virtually empty downstairs at about 12:20. 2 small orders for takeout took <10 minutes. Chicken was tasty, though I'd prefer a bit more chicken and a bit less fried, or is that just the style I'm not used to? Kimchi slaw was excellent. A little skimpy for $7 (I got 1 drum and 4 wings (which was 2 mini-drums, 2 mini-wings)) but there's worse food around for more $$. I'd try it again.
