The wait is finally over, Edmonton’s newest Korean fried chicken spot is now open for business!
Bonchon means “hometown” in Korean, which is only fitting as it’s opened its first location in the owners’ hometown: Edmonton. This independently owned and operated brand is fully Canadian, serving up chicken with distinct flavours and recipes.
It’s not only a place that focuses just on the food, but it’s a restaurant which provides service with care and is created by people who have found a way to honour their hometown.
A great thing we noticed about Bonchon is its commitment to serving and uplifting the local community. The owners give one per cent back to the community, “supporting the people and places that make our hometown special.”
Being locally owned and operated, this chicken shop has so much to offer in terms of food, atmosphere, and service.
Its doors officially opened in late March 2026, and we couldn’t be more excited. The location is great as well, sitting right on 124th Street with an amazing, vibrant district surrounding it.
Delving into the menu, there’s obviously the famed Korean fried chicken, coming in wing, leg, or tender form, not to mention chicken sandwiches as well. There’s also bulgogi bowls, sides like street corn and pickled radish, four unique house-made sauces, and a whole bunch of beverages to choose from.
You’ll be happy to know that Bonchon is open every single day of the week. From 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., you can get your dose of fried chicken and fries to-go or for dining in. Get ready to stuff your face, because you won’t be able to get enough.
If you’re riding along in the 124th Street area, we couldn’t recommend going to Bonchon enough. Not only are you trying out a new delicious restaurant, but you’re also supporting your community in the process.
Address: 10418 124th St., Edmonton, Alta.
