Bonchon sets June 20 opening date for Korean fried chicken restaurant

Korean fried chicken restaurant Bonchon is close to opening.

The company announced its newest location will open June 20 in the Frisco Village Shopping Center, located at 4760 Preston Road, Ste. 228, Frisco.

The first 100 people in line on opening day will receive a free, five-piece chicken meal and Bonchon’s signature “double-fried” T-shirt, according to a news release. Another grand opening celebration will include donating 15% of sales to Frisco Family Services for the week of June 27. The organization helps Frisco residents experiencing food insecurity and homelessness.

In addition to hand-battered chicken, the restaurant serves popcorn shrimp, Korean tacos, potstickers, edamame and more.

The Frisco opening marks Bonchon’s third DFW location, according to the release. Nearby restaurants include Addison and The Colony.

“Bringing another location this close to our corporate headquarters is a special moment for us as a team and as a brand,” Bonchon CEO Flynn Dekker said in the release. “Since we’ve relocated to Dallas in 2020, the city has shown nothing but love to our existing Bonchon locations.”

Bonchon in Frisco will be the first location to offer pickup boxes, per the release. www.bonchon.com
