Best Korean Restaurant Kwons Kitchen Korean Fusion Cuisine 5173 Bragg Blvd. 910-339-1913 facebook.com/kwonskitchen Kwons Kitchen Korean Fusion Cuisine sets itself apart with its incredible flavors. Vanessa McKoy, the owner of Kwons, brings with her the Korean recipes she learned from her mother. Kwons is the fusion of authentic Korean recipes, adapted to American tastes, and provides customers with a truly distinctive dining experience. McKoy began selling her culinary creations through pop-up events and providing delivery services to businesses in Fayetteville. As her business grew, she transitioned to operating a food truck in 2022. The following year, in 2023, she established Kwons on Bragg Blvd as a permanent location for her delicious offerings. McKoy's objective is to provide the community with a unique flavor, thus giv- ing rise to Korean fusion. One of the communities favorites is the Korean hot dog. Picture a corn dog that is extra intense — a hot dog covered in a batter that is both sweet and savory, then coated in crunchy toppings. It's deep-fried until it becomes golden and crispy. This culinary creation offers an adventure for your taste buds, with its exciting combination of flavors and textures. w i n e & d i n e
