my gf and i went wednesday just after 6:30pm. place was easy to find with a small "open house" type sign on the side walk.
we ordered 2 orders of small (one per flavour) and this was enough for us. the wings had good crunch and kept their crunch til the last one. the quality of the meat was also quite good and moist. i would have liked them to come hotter in temperature as the last few wings had gotten cool by the time i got to them. the fiery pepper had a good spice kick, but the soy garlic could have used more garlic (but i understand it's very easy to go too heavy). i liked the amount of sauce as i find over-saucing can make korean fried chicken soggy rather quickly (which i've had at bon chon and ajuker). the coleslaw and pickled radish was quite limp and not very crisp or refreshing.
we really like the KFC wings at mad for chicken (just around the corner from the manhattan bon chon), which have similar crunch to dubon's rendition, but are less "puff" (i don't know how else to describe it). mad for chicken also has an option for wings only - which is a nice treat (for those who prefer wings over drums). http://madforchicken.com/
apparently, the cbc was in on tuesday to add to their segment on pop-up shops, which could possibly air sometime in may
