Why Sides Matter
Not Just Extras — Traditional Banchan
Bonchon sides look simple on paper — most under $7.15. But if you have ever eaten spicy Bonchon wings without Pickled Radish on the side, you already know something was missing. These are not extras tacked on to fill the menu: pickled radish and kimchi are traditional Korean accompaniments eaten alongside fried foods for generations. The radish cuts through oil and spice and clears your palate; the kimchi adds a fermented tang that balances double-fried chicken in a way no American dipping sauce can replicate.
The trick regulars know: every chicken order already comes with a complimentary side of pickled radish or coleslaw — so before paying for extras, use your free one. On the heavier end, Seasoned Fries and Onion Rings ($7.15 each) hold their own as snacks. On the lighter end, Steamed Rice at $2.05 stretches your meal for pocket change.
