Our Story

Bonchon began with a simple dream: to share authentic, flavorful food that brings people together. Founded in 2010, our journey started in a small kitchen with big ambitions and a passion for quality ingredients.

What started as a family recipe passed down through generations has grown into a beloved destination for food lovers across the United States. Every dish we create carries the same love and dedication that inspired our founders.

Today, we continue to honor our roots while embracing innovation, ensuring that every guest experiences the perfect blend of tradition and modern culinary excellence.
