Korean fried chicken franchise to open on Broadway mid March

twitter BonchonFeb. 25, 2015 By Michael Florio

An international fried chicken franchise is set to open in Astoria.

Bonchon Chicken, a Korean fried-chicken eatery located at 25-30 Broadway, is set to open March 10, according to franchise co-owner Jack Poon.

The franchise will be the fifth Bonchon Chicken in New York and will be part of global chain that includes about 30 US restaurants.

Poon said he decided to open the restaurant since he liked the concept and its simplicity. When he opens, the menu will initially consist of the basics—such as Korean fried chicken, wings, drumbsticks, crispy chicken sliders and French fries.

Poon, a Fresh Meadows resident, said he picked the location because his business partner has lived in Astoria for the last 18 years.

“It is a really nice neighborhood and this is a great location,” Poon said. “It will bring a lot of foot traffic.”

The restaurant is located across street from the Strand Smokehouse.

“We are very excited about opening here,” he said.

The restaurant will be open from 11 am to 11 pm, Tuesday through Sunday. It will be closed on Mondays.

Poon said that the eatery also has a full liquor license.

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
