| - I really like bonchon chicken- and love crunching into lightly deep fried chicken in varying flavors. I'm a little disturbed about how it's double deep fried so I haven't attempted to make it myself- but I do enjoy some good bonchon chicken aka Korean fried chicken.
Bonchon Chicken is a chain- I've had it before in Maryland and thought it was just a-ok there. However, since we have lack there-of of any Korean fried chicken place within 2 hours of CLE, I was happy this place opened- and got some of my foodie friends to come with me to Seven Hills (random location, but whatevers).
We waited...and waited....and waited. Since it was the soft opening, they probably were really busy, but we waited about 30-45 minutes, and then probably at least another 45 mins-1 hour for our food to come out. We originally ordered the japchae to start out- only to have a dish of duk come out (the Tteokbokki). Err..... we told our already flustered waitress about it- who then went back to the kitchen and came back saying they were out of noodles for the japchae (errrr).... but told us we could have the tteokbokki and that she would take a percentage off of our bill too. Ok, we said. We were getting pretty hungry at that point and just needed to eat something to not turn hangry! It was okay- the duk wasn't too hard or anything, it was pretty soft, but the overall dish..was just okay.
And then after waiting longer...the chicken finally came! For a group of 7 of us, we ordered a large combo as well as another dish of small drums- and it was plenty. The chicken they use is quite huge- I was thoroughly impressed how large the drumsticks are (where they get their chicken, I have no idea, but the chicken was quite good), but I did feel that although the flavor of the soy garlic and the spicy was right...the crispiness wasn't. I just wish it had been a bit more crispier- and bit more crunch. I don't know if it was just because the restaurant had just opened and they were mass producing it... but it was okay.
The chicken is good- there's nothing i have against it, I just wish the chicken here had the usual crunch I like (some great places in Ann Arbor or NYC), when I have bonchon chicken. Nonetheless, since there is lack there-of in CLE, it's an acceptable substitute, and I'll probably frequent this place sometime in the future- but my heart for bonchon chicken is still in other places....
