The first Bonchon Chicken restaurant opened in 2002 in Pusan, South Korea. The first location in the U.S. was in Annandale, Virginia, home to a large South Korean expatriate population. It later spread to California, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Texas.[3] There are 10 locations in South Korea, 97 in the Philippines, 10 in Thailand, and 6 in Indonesia. There are also many new locations pending in different countries and Brunei is one of them.
