Mexican Spot Otra Opens In the Lower Haight; Korean Fried Chicken Chain Bonchon Debuts at the Metreon
New restaurants are opening again! This week we have news about a new modern Mexican spot from the team behind Son s Addition opening in the Lower Haight, and the debut of some new KFC (Korean fried chicken) downtown.
Bonchon, the South Korean fried chicken chain that opened its first Bay Area location in Sunnyvale in 2010, quietly opened the doors of its first SF location earlier this week. There s a Bonchon in South San Francisco that s been there since 2014, and other locations in Berkeley, Pleasanton, and San Mateo, but now you only have to get down to the Metreon to enjoy some of their spicy double-fried wings. As Eater notes, the takeout menu includes other Korean dishes like bulgogi and kimchi-bacon fried rice. And there s a bunch of crave-worthy snack items too like Korean tacos (chicken or bulgogi), potstickers, and pork buns.
