Bonchon Additional Menu Highlights (Full 2025 Guide)

Some Bonchon items don’t quite fit into the usual categories of fried chicken, sides, or main dishes—but they’re still worth your attention. These extras are often where new customers find the most value, and regulars find new favorites. From sandwiches that can stand as a full meal, to samplers that introduce you to Bonchon’s greatest hits, these menu items offer variety without overcomplicating your order.

This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the Chicken Sandwich, Seoul Sampler, Korean Street Corn, and all the dipping sauces and add-ons. You’ll find full ingredient breakdowns, flavor pairings, calories, and pricing.

Bonchon Specialty Menu Overview

This section includes the standout extras from Bonchon’s menu—items that aren’t part of the main meal structure but still shape the experience. These are especially helpful if it’s your first time ordering and you want a mix of flavors without committing to full-size portions. The chicken sandwich brings crispy comfort in a bun. The sampler gives you a spread of Bonchon’s best sellers. The street corn adds a Korean twist to a global favorite. And the sauces let you customize your meal exactly the way you like.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:

Chicken Sandwich

Bonchon’s chicken sandwich delivers a full meal in a single bite. It starts with a thick, breaded chicken breast that’s fried until golden, then placed on a toasted brioche bun that’s just sweet enough to balance the heat. The inside is layered with coleslaw, adding a cool crunch that works perfectly with the crisp chicken. You can choose from four sauce options: soy garlic, spicy, yangnyeom, or Korean BBQ—each one giving the sandwich a different personality. It comes with a side of fries, which makes this an ideal pick for when you want something filling but handheld.

Crispy Sandwich Meal

Bonchon’s chicken sandwich isn’t just tossed together — it’s built for balance. You get a thick, crunchy chicken breast fried just right and tucked inside a slightly sweet brioche bun that holds everything in place without falling apart. The inside has a layer of crisp coleslaw that cuts the richness, adding cool texture without feeling soggy. You pick the sauce — soy garlic, spicy, yangnyeom, or Korean BBQ — and that one choice decides how bold the sandwich feels. I’ve had it with spicy and soy garlic, and both bring out different strengths. Spicy sneaks up on you by the second bite, while soy garlic keeps it mild and flavorful throughout.

The whole meal is rounded out with a side of fries, making it a complete pick if you’re not in the mood for chicken cuts. Calories range between 705 and 777, depending on the sauce. At $13.99, it’s one of the most filling single-item meals on the Bonchon menu. Perfect if you’re eating alone but still want variety in texture and flavor.

Seoul Sampler

If you’re visiting Bonchon for the first time or just want to try a bit of everything without committing to a single dish, the Seoul Sampler is the smartest move. It pulls together some of Bonchon’s top picks into one tray — wings, drumsticks, bulgogi fries, pork potstickers, Korean street corn, and coleslaw. Each item is served in sample-sized portions, but there’s enough on the plate for two people to comfortably share.

This combo is made for testing out the flavors. You can try multiple sauces on different proteins, see how the sides balance out the heat, and get a full idea of the Bonchon experience in one go. Whether you’re splitting it at the table or using it to decide what to order next time, the sampler is a smart, satisfying way to cover more ground without spending too much or overordering.

Best Starter Pack for First-Time Diners

The Seoul Sampler brings together six different items in one tray — wings, drumsticks, bulgogi fries, potstickers, Korean street corn, and coleslaw. Each part offers a different flavor and texture, from crispy double-fried chicken to creamy slaw and sweet-spicy corn. It’s especially useful if you want to try several proteins and sides without ordering full portions. Ideal for two-person sharing or as a tasting board, this sampler is one of the easiest ways to get familiar with Bonchon’s flavor lineup.

Korean Street Corn

Korean Street Corn at Bonchon doesn’t feel like just a side — it’s more like a flavor bomb built for contrast. This isn’t plain buttered corn. It comes grilled, then stacked with creamy Kewpie mayo, melted mozzarella, garlic, Korean chili flakes, and a sprinkle of green onion. Every bite is a mix of warm, sweet, and spicy, making it one of the most layered sides you can get. I often add this to my order when I’m already getting something fried or salty. It adds richness without getting in the way.

It goes really well with dishes that are more neutral in taste, like steamed rice or the chicken sandwich. The heat is mild but noticeable, and the mozzarella gives it a stretchy, cheesy pull that finishes soft. For under four bucks, it’s a bold, satisfying bite that stands out.

Sweet-Spicy Corn Side

Bonchon’s Korean Street Corn takes grilled corn and layers on flavor: Kewpie mayo for creaminess, mozzarella for richness, garlic and Korean chili flakes for heat, and scallions for a clean finish. It’s a warm, savory side with a bit of spice, landing somewhere between comfort food and street snack. With 221 to 441 calories depending on portion, and priced at just $3.99, it’s a strong pick for anyone looking to balance out saucy or fried mains with something bold and cheesy.

Sauces & Add-ons

Bonchon doesn’t limit you to just one flavor path. Their add-on sauces give you full control over the kind of bite you want, and they’re cheap enough that I always grab a few extras. These aren’t watered-down sides — they actually enhance the main items. If I’m getting chicken, I go for spicy mayo. With fries, it’s always ranch or Kewpie mayo. When I order shrimp or dumplings, cucumber wasabi brings in a clean punch, and bibimbap sauce adds that sharp, slightly tangy finish to rice dishes. Each one feels like a small upgrade that makes the whole meal feel more custom.

You can add any of these for just $0.95 each. I recommend mixing 2–3 depending on what you’re ordering. It’s a low-cost way to play with flavor, especially if you’re splitting food with someone and want different profiles per bite.

Mix & Match Flavor Boosters

You can add Bonchon’s house-made sauces to any order for just $0.95 each. The list includes spicy mayo, Kewpie mayo, ranch, cucumber wasabi, and bibimbap sauce. Each one pairs differently: spicy mayo works best with wings and strips, while Kewpie is a smoother fit for sides like fries or corn. Cucumber wasabi is sharp and pairs well with shrimp or seafood dishes. Ranch is always safe with onion rings, and bibimbap sauce elevates any rice bowl. Mix and match to get more out of every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions (Extras)

This section clears up the little details about Bonchon’s extras. If you’re wondering what you can swap, customize, or order solo, these quick answers help you make the most of your add-ons, sauces, and samplers. Whether you’re building your first combo or just adding flavor to your usual meal, here’s what you need to know.

Can I choose any sauce for the sandwich?

Yes, you can. Bonchon lets you pick from soy garlic, spicy, yangnyeom, or Korean BBQ for the chicken sandwich. You choose your flavor when you place the order.

Does the Seoul sampler let me pick flavors?

Most locations allow at least one sauce selection for the wings and drumsticks in the sampler. Some may give the half & half option too, but you’ll want to confirm with the specific store first.

Is Korean street corn vegetarian?

It depends. The dish is meat-free, but the topping includes Kewpie mayo and mozzarella, which contain dairy and egg. So it’s vegetarian-friendly but not vegan.

Can I buy just sauces or add-ons alone?

Usually yes. Dipping sauces and small extras like kimchi or pickled radish can be ordered separately for a small charge, even without a full meal.
