Bon Chon Korean chicken shop, soi 13 Thonglor BKK

Got curious to try this one as it claimed to expand a lot of branches in the States. The shop is quite in a fast food shop deco., but the price is not fast shop standard. So we ordered some deep fried chicken, stir fried beef, kimchi dumpling and tofu salad. Most of the food taste like "Calbee (triple shot)" food - heavily seasoned. The only good thing about the crispy chicken is that they had the deep frying in 2 steps in order to have the heavy syrup to coat the chicken in the final deep frying. They kimchi dumpling is very hot but it's in the chili paste hot, not the fresh chili hot. The other 2 are average. If you like some heavily seasoned food, this is the choice definitely.

Something different here.
Korean chicken rather than Kentucky chicken. Something for a change.

Yes, very different. It's not a change at all. Just go back to the kid's time for an extra-calbee array of msg snacks.

I think we can pass on this one.
No time for msg snack la.

Never heard of this one at all.
I don't think it is that good.
Chris does not like msg food or salty food at all except chips.
In fact, food in LA is less salty than in BKK overall.

Mickey, pls add "historical" too. The glory of Pasadena lied in its history contributing a lot to the growth of LA.
This food in this shop is good for sharing or with lots of carbohydrates.

right, a small and historical town in LA, but not the whole LA ..
