About
Bonchon University City
Welcome to Bonchon University City, a little slice of Korea nestled right in the heart of Philadelphia, specifically at 3836 Chestnut St Space 2. Known for its delectable Korean fried chicken, Bonchon offers a culinary adventure that is perfect for both casual gatherings and spirited happy hours.
The ambiance captures a vibrant college campus vibe, making it an inviting spot for friends and family alike. With outdoor seating options and a full bar, it’s easy to enjoy a leisurely meal while soaking up the atmosphere. Bonchon also accommodates those looking for efficient dining solutions with delivery and takeout services, ensuring that you can have their mouthwatering dishes wherever you please.
One cannot visit Bonchon without indulging in their featured items. I highly recommend trying the MoPo Corndog, which encapsulates the essence of Korean street food with its gooey mozzarella cheese at the center, complemented by crispy potato cubes. You have the option to brush it with savory soy garlic or indulge in a sweet sugar cinnamon roll—both equally enticing! At just $5.79, it’s a delightful way to kick off your meal.
- Chicken Strip Stash: A hearty combo comprising of three chicken strips and two potstickers, finished off with a sweet Korean donut for $16.09.
- Drumstick Dream: Double-fried chicken legs, paired with your choice of sauce and a complimentary side of pickled radish or coleslaw, priced at $21.39.
Before you leave, don’t forget the Korean donuts, which have won the hearts of many diners. As Mrs. P P. shared, they are "to die for," regularly served fresh and hot. The attention to detail in every dish is palpable, and the friendly staff are eager to enhance your dining experience.
For those seeking vegetarian options, Bonchon seamlessly incorporates dishes that cater to various dietary preferences, ensuring that everyone in your group finds something they will enjoy. The seasoned zucchini fries, while a bit heavy on the Parmesan, provide a crispy side to complement your meal.
In closing, Bonchon University City is more than just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s a dining experience that encapsulates the warmth of Korean cuisine. Whether you're here for the legendary double-fried chicken or the delightful atmosphere, it's clear, Bonchon knows how to elevate comfort food into something special.

“ Everything was pretty salty. Japchae and fried rice have pretty much the same taste. Seasoned zucchini fries was crispy but might not order seasoned (+$1) next time. All it was was Parmesan cheese on top. College campus vibe. Service is ok. ”
“ I love the donuts they are to die for! They are always fresh and hot! And the staff are super nice! The place is small but they make up for it. ”
“ Service was ok. Not horrible but could've been better. Food was good. Very clean! Ambiance and music were awesome! ”
“ 10/10 food! love fried chicken!! kimchi fried rice was AMAZING as well ambiance 8/10, kind of classy for a somewhat fast food chain but had weird experience with other customers in there ”
“ Great for a date night! I love the happy hour! So many good apps, and the staff is really friendly. 10/10 would recommend. ”
“ Oh my gosh this was the first time I ever went and I had an amazing experience. The staff were friendly upon my arrival. Asked if it was for here or to go. I said for here and got seated up too up the steps. The vibes are nice. K-pop music and the music video showing on the tv screen and the projected screen on the main wall towards the front. They bring the food out nice and hot and in a decent amount of time. Also I believe we had water. I love the pickled radish with my food. I had the Soy Garlic chicken wings and the pork buns. Everything was so crispy and delicious. The sauce was just enough in the pieces not too much to over power. Then when I finished I v walked out with the hot fresh Korean donuts. They were soft and fluffy inside and coated with cinnamon and sugar. Omg sooooo soft! The softest fluff of warm heaven after my dinner! I was so happy all the way home! Definitely 10/10 for me. Will return to try more items and get more donuts! ”
“ First time trying Bonchon and dining in at the restaurant chain. The atmosphere was casual and appeared to be clean. My friend and I were seated right away. Our server was nice. We shared the fried rice with bulgogi, fried chicken wings (fried just right), and french fries. It was a lot of food, and I was surprised that everything tasted really good. I had a cocktail that was just okay. Would definitely eat here again! ”
