Our story
Bonchon (bon-chon), noun: my hometown, my roots.
Born in Busan, South Korea, in 2002. Our mission is to share the joy of Korean comfort food around the world.
“When police were dispatched to manage traffic around the new restaurant, I knew we had a winning formula.”
Jinduk Seo, founder
Perfected in Busan
Bonchon was founded by Jinduk Seo, who obsessively perfected its signature sauces and fried chicken.
Today our chef in South Korea still creates the recipes for our sauces and all of our Korean comfort food, to share the joy of Bonchon around the world.
