Bonchon Arrives in Tampa: A New Destination for Korean Fried Chicken Lovers!

Korean fried chicken lovers, get ready! The popular sensation, Bonchon, is opening a new location in Tampa at 2308 E Fletcher Ave, with doors set to open on September 11, according to its Google listing. This eagerly awaited launch is poised to make Bonchon one of the hottest new dining spots in Tampa.

Bonchon is celebrated for its distinctive Korean fried chicken, crafted through a meticulous hand-battered and double-fried process that delivers an unparalleled crunch. Each piece is then expertly hand-brushed with the franchise’s proprietary sauces, creating a uniquely flavorful experience that has captivated fans worldwide.

Founded in Busan, South Korea, in 2002, Bonchon made its way to the United States in 2006, with its first American outpost opening in New York City. Since then, the brand has earned a reputation for delivering some of the finest fried chicken, even being hailed as “the gold standard for fried chicken” by Business Insider. It also secured a spot on Nation’s Restaurant News’ 2022 “Top 500 Restaurants” list, solidifying its status as a top-tier dining destination.

A Taste of South Korea is Coming to Tampa

While Bonchon’s legendary fried chicken is the star of the show, their menu also features other must-try dishes like Bulgogi fries, which consist of thinly sliced, USDA Select Certified marinated beef served atop seasoned fries and topped with mozzarella cheese, a spicy mayo drizzle, and fresh green onions. Diners can also indulge in other Korean favorites like chicken katsu, japchae, house fried rice, and udon noodle soup.

And don’t forget to save room for dessert! Bonchon’s Korean donuts are a delicious way to end your meal—these traditional delights are soft, fluffy, and coated with cinnamon and sugar, accompanied by a sweet cream dipping sauce.

Bonchon invites everyone to “Crunch Out Loud” and experience the unique joy of its hand-battered, double-fried Korean fried chicken. Soon, Tampa residents will have the chance to savor this culinary sensation firsthand. Check out Bonchon’s website to explore the full menu ahead of its grand opening!
