Bonchon, arguably one of the best South Korean fried chicken chains, will finally debut in Tampa next month.

The the new outpost will open in the former Taco Bus location at 2308 E Fletcher Ave., on Sept. 11.

Besides double-fried, extra crispy Korean wings, the fast-casual spot features bibimbap bowls, pork belly buns, Korean tacos, bulgogi fries, a full beer and wine menu and more.

Florida’s first Bonchon opened in Orlando in 2017, and the chain has since grown its footprint in the Sunshine State, with new locations in St. Johns and Jacksonville.

Bonchon joins a Tampa food scene that currently hosts a few solid Korean fried chicken options, like the newly refurbished Ganchu on Nebraska Ave., K-Chicken & Grill on Dale Mabry, bb.q Chicken in Carrollwood, and Soul of Korea in Temple Terrace.
