Coleslaw at Bonchon
Bonchon Coleslaw is a creamy coleslaw made with crisp shredded cabbage and carrots dressed in a creamy sauce — slightly sweet, mildly tangy, and cooling. It is one of the most important sides at Bonchon because it serves a functional role: moderating the heat of Spicy chicken.
At $2.99 and 120 calories, Coleslaw is the most affordable and second-lowest calorie paid side on the Bonchon menu. It is also one of the two complimentary sides — many Bonchon locations include coleslaw at no charge with any chicken order (alongside pickled radish).
The creamy dressing in Bonchon Coleslaw contains dairy, which means it actually neutralizes capsaicin (the chemical compound responsible for spicy heat). This is why eating a bite of Coleslaw between Spicy chicken pieces genuinely reduces the perceived heat — it is not just a palate reset, it is chemistry.

It is not just contrast — it is chemistry
Capsaicin (the compound that makes chili peppers hot) bonds to fat molecules — not water. Drinking water does not reduce spicy heat; dairy does. Bonchon Coleslaw contains dairy in its creamy dressing, which is why eating it between Spicy chicken bites actually reduces the heat rather than just masking it temporarily. This makes Coleslaw the single most effective heat management tool on the Bonchon menu for people ordering Spicy or Tteokbokki.
