    Glad to see Bonchon is a legit option that stays true to what you'd actually get over there (plus some more non-"traditional" options ofc). I was thinking that it seems great but it seems way more fun to go out for food in general compared to here in America, judging from what I've seen on some Korean Twitch streams.

    Great review Ben! It’s always interesting to see the fusion of American and Korean flavors, and your comparison of BonChon to traditional Korean fried chicken is spot on. The size of the chicken pieces definitely stands out, especially since Korean fried chicken is known for being smaller and crispier. I like how many sauces were included too. Thanks for sharing!

    As a brit watching you in NY and seeing these prices, even if I drove down to London and ordered from a "pricey" chicken spot, it would come nowhere close to a $130....
    That is absolutely insane, are NY prices just inflated overall to match the salary there?
    I could order triple that amount of chicken here and it would probably come to around $60 probably less even including delivery fees. I genuinely cant believe that price.

      @Viralsky - It's because he's using a delivery service to bring the food to him. They mark it up by about 4$ each item. Then any tips he does on top of that which he doesn't disclose. If you were to go in person and eat there at least in california for 2 people is around 40$

  • @akumatenshi2004
    @akumatenshi2004 14 годин тому

    Note people who question the price, the wings are more expensive than drums and would cost additional $2-$3 to the price of the set. Wings are now on average $2 a piece or more depending on the location. In Cali, bonchon in restaurant is currently ~$18-$19 w/o tax for 8 PCs of wings. Now, to add in the fact that Ben ordered delivery ….the prices will hike up with the app/ service fees that would make those ‘store prices’ almost doubled. And being NYC, it is a bit more expensive. So it’s overwhelming but kind of expected that it came around $133. Lol 😅
