| - Korean fried chicken is a delicacy that is very hard to find in Ohio. Fortunately in recent years, Bonchon has expanded their locations to Columbus and now Cleveland. What makes Korean fried chicken different from standard fried chicken is that the former is twice fried, and rather than just drowning the chicken in sauces, each piece of chicken is individually brushed. Depending on which location you go to, Bonchon also offers a variety of Korean, Japanese and Asian fusion dishes, such as buldak and salmon avocado ball.
Bonchon is very expensive, but is worth the price of what you pay for. The chicken is very fine quality, but the skin and sauces are what make Korean fried chicken so good. I highly recommend getting some of the soy garlic wings/drumsticks - the sauce is quite good. As far as sides go, they're worth trying if you've never had them, but the other dishes are not particularly outstanding compared to what you might expect at other Korean and Japanese restaurants.
The service can be slow sometimes, but ultimately the food is the most important part of the experience for me, and on that note Bonchon consistently delivers.
