"Mary's Organic Chicken, which is non-GMO and hormone-free. The chicken is double fried"

That's called how to make an otherwise healthy piece of chicken somewhat unhealthy.

Hey, R. Winslow,

How about showing a little bit more of a neighborly and welcoming attitude to this small business owner who has chosen downtown Mountain View for his new venture?

Stop complaining about new restaurants or start your own. No one can please everyone all the time, including this restaurateur. That is not your mother in that kitchen cooking you your favorite breakfast.

Also, no one is pointing a gun at your head, telling you must eat this or any other restaurant for that matter. If you feel that it is unhealthy, feel free to eat your boneless, skinless steam chicken breast at home silently, no one will criticize you for doing that.

Sure, most would agree that fried chicken should probably be consumed in moderation, just like almost anything else. However, one order of this isn't going to kill you.

@reader

I comprende your point BUT why advertise the chicken's pedigree if it's only going to be breaded and dumped into a deep fryer not once but twice?

That would like 'the Colonel' (at an upscale KFC) saying we only use Petaluma organic chickens for our Extra Cripsy fried chicken. What's the point other than to charge more? *LOL*

Just had dinner there tonight. The chicken was great ( and I do not think it is breaded). The staff was friendly . I think once it officially opens it will be more crowded. And as long as you partake of any dish in moderation , the health issue is not a big deal.
I think this place will do just fine without r. Winslow. But I do notice that no matter what kind of restaurant is discussd here, some people will feel the need to,post negative comments ( unhealthy, pretentious, too expensive etc etc etc).
But that has become the mantra of the PA weakly--encourage sour grapes and dissent to draw an increase in online views.

R. Winslow,

There are no nutritional differences between organic, GMO-free, hormone-free chicken and conventional chicken. If there is any reason why one should choose the former, it's on the grounds that the chicken is more humanely raised, not that it is healthier. Read more about it here: Web Link

P.S. Bonchon is hella tasty and I'd gladly eat it until my stomach pops and my intestines are fully coated with oil.

The wings are OK,and I know everyone want to love them and be angry at anyone who doesn't, but I found the wings to be just OK, and not worth the fried dietary bomb. It's like eating a marginally good doughnut. Lots of bad for your heart with no good tradoff for the taste buds.

Has anyone tried both Bonchon, and Kumino's fried chicken, and can do a comparison?

Now I can stop driving to their Sunnyvale location for my fix.

Look friends, this is not an everyday food if you want to stay under 400 lbs. No one said this is health food. But if you're going to give yourself a treat, your chicken may as well be fried twice as once, K?

The wings are delicious, do not taste greasy, and though I usually hate myself afterwards, I enjoy eating there once in a while and am glad they will be in downtown MV.

Bonchon kicks KFC's rear-end time and time again. I've been a frequent visitor at their Sunnyvale sight and it's a joy to have them here in our hometown. These wings are delectably addicting and you'll be going back for more. Having a boba tea establishment usually compliments this (Thank you Tea Era/Teaspoon, Verde).

Yay! Love Bonchon Chicken! The Sunnyvale location is always crowded with a wait. Thanks for bringing Bonchon to downtown Mtn View.
