Description: "Kyochon" means a village with a Buddhist temple. It connotes a sophisticated, intellectual town. Kyochon Manhattan is our sophisticated US Flagship and is unlike any of the other 1,000+ locations throughout the US, Korea, and China. Our dine-in service is available every evening and during that time, the restaurant space is transformed. As the sun sets, Kyochon Manhattan becomes the fun, trendy restaurant that mid-town Manhattan has been waiting for. The sleek design and stunning modern decor compliment the low lighting and booming music to provide a cool late night atmosphere. The NY Times raves,"Kyochon becomes an entirely different experience: a host standing at what had seemed like a useless lectern at lunch directs you up the sweeping glass staircase past a wall of flat-screen TV’s blasting videos while waiters cross the packed room with trays of shot glasses filled with mango soju. Earlier, it was a fast-food joint. Now, Kyochon is the party you hit before karaoke.

We walked into this place simply because our hotel was right around the corner and we were pleasantly surprised. Very modern decor, nice staff, we were served quickly, nice crowd and atmosphere, the food was excellent (we had a rice bowl) and the prices are ok. Considering the difficulties one can have when attempting to find a good place to... More

The line at Shake Shack was so long that we decided to walk until we found something we liked. Good thing we did, because the food at Kyochon Chicken was delicious, fresh, and filling. The have salads, wings, rice bowls, and sandwiches for decent prices. Order at the counter, then have a seat upstairs. Be sure to sample the sauces... More

I realized that the portions were a bit small. The secret is to get the side of rice. The rice was a perfect filler and great for calming my tongue from the hot wings. More

I prefer Kyochon over Bon Chon even though Kyochon feels more like a fast food joint and Bon Chon is more like a restaurant. The chicken is fried just right, not too breaded, with very crispy skin but still juicy and moist insdie. LOVE the garlic soy flavor. The only thing I have trouble with is their menu in the... More

There is something magical about the chicken wings. Awesome. The restaurant is a fast casual place during the day and a hipster, seated spot a night. Totally different vibe. I preferred the lunch scene. More

nice, sweet and crisp and delicious to start with but after a few they started to get a bit sickening. Glad I shared the small plate and the bill. Salad was nice but it had too much water in it after being washed. Good service but quite noisey. We ate at the 5th Ave, 33rd Street restuarant though. More

I actually went to the one at 32nd St. Service: I took it to go. It took quite long considering it is "take out". I was chatting with a long time friend so it wasn't took bad but my stomach as rumbling by the time the food came out. Decor: Bright and vibrant. Food: The soy/garlic wings were great. The... More
