Kyochon, the double-fried-chicken pioneer that has grown to over 1,000 stores in Korea since being founded in 1991, finally unveiled its Manhattan flagship last night (lunch starts Friday). The opening is a year overdue, and a look inside explains the delays. The bi-level 4,600-square-foot space offers plenty to balk over (and why shouldn’t it — we’re talking about a company that in 2006 claimed assets in the $19 million range). There’s a first-floor takeout area with counter seating for 10 and a second floor with table seating for 50.

In addition to the light, extra-crispy fried chicken that you know and love from the Flushing location, there’s Korean beer as well as soju cocktails, from 11 a.m. till 2 a.m. And oh yes — there’s delivery. To heat and sweeten things up a bit, Eater notices signs indicating that rival Bonchon plans to open down the block at 325 Fifth Avenue. Before we start counting the days till that, check out Kyochon’s menu.
