In-House Happenings
Bonyeon x Chef Jennifer Kim
Thursday May 22nd, 2025
We welcome the masterful Chef Jennifer Kim, Chef de Cuisine of Proxi! Chef Kim–who has earned a long list of culinary accolades, including Eater Chicago’s Chef of the Year in 2018–brings a bold, bright cooking style to the table at Proxi alongside Chef Andrew Zimmerman, which recently debuted a vibrant new coastal Asian menu. Chef Kim will showcase these coastally-influenced flavors while leaning into their family’s Korean roots, colliding with Bonyeon’s elevated steak-centered dishes in an 9-course affair.
Expect dishes like a beef tartare topped Korean pancake with kimchi and quail yolk, grilled rice cakes with
fish sauce caramel, A5 sirloin with apricot ssamjang and pickled fiddleheads, and dry-aged halibut jjigae
with smoked kanpachi stock and spring peas.
Tickets start at $150, with optional beverage pairings
available for purchase on site. Reservations are available now via Resy.com.

Modu Monday
Introducing Modu Monday, a new dinner service at Bonyeon! Modu (모두) means “everyone” or “all” in Korean, representing our goal of bringing our diners together for an unforgettable meal at the chef’s counter. This new Monday special allows us to share a different side of Bonyeon, one that’s approachable with a lower price point and inspired by Korean comfort classics, but still crafted with the same care and attention to detail.
Dishes include the classic Korean Army Soup with succulent short rib and a housemade chili crisp, a chef-curated Korean barbecue ssam selection with choice steak and pork cuts, fried quail karagee, and a decadent kumquat and ginger beer dessert. Priced at $95 per guest, this intimate experience is perfect for those looking to indulge in Bonyeon’s unique expressions of Korean flavors and enjoy classic comfort dishes merged with refined dining techniques.
Join us every Monday with seatings at 5 PM, 7 PM, and 9 PM. Reservations are now available. Book your seats today!
