Vons Chicken Downtown

The chicken a fried perfectly. The flavors are catered to local style such as shoyu, chilli sweet sauce and garlic. It is Korean style fried chicken so if you're looking for buffalo BBQ wings sorry to disappoint you. It's on the pricey side for chicken wings. The meal is cheaper but I can smash more than 5 wings so if your like me just get the half or full serving of wings. You will feel like you're getting your moneys worth. Service is great. It appears to be a family business but I could be wrong. Nevertheless good people. You have the option to dine in but then they don't turn up the AC. If you're looking to eat comfortably then just grab and go lol. They do make to order so expect to wait if you didn't order ahead.

Came here after doing some paperwork, near all of the downtown federal and state offices so it was a perfect walking distance. There's street parking outside (metered).My partner really wanted meat jun and they just happened to have a menu beyond the typical vons chicken menu which included meat jun. The chicken took a bit as they were making it fresh. The meat jun was good, not the best I've had but no complaints from my partner.The real garlic chicken was crispy, fresh, and flavorful. My only complaint is the size, as each piece is quite tiny. However if you don't eat much, i'm sure the half portion would suffice (which is what I got).The establishment is small and the service is friendly and the vibe gave off that it may be family ran? I'm unsure but otherwise, not a terrible choice.

Football Sunday and I was on my way to escutcheon the game and thought about getting buffalo chicken wings. I walked passed Vons and stopped in. They specialize in chickens wings and various flavors to include a mild Korean Spice wing (#2 on their menu). Closest flavor to buffalo wings. I placed a half order (10 pieces)), they were perfectly cooked, the seasoning was more of a mild spicy sweet sauce and it was just fine. The wings are big and probably the most generous I have had on island. The owners are friendly and helpful. The business is a small store front and they offer a couple of tables inside if you want to eat there. Great place and they also have larger party size orders.

This is dangerously close to where I work. I will have to exercise much discipline to not eat here once a week if I want to watch my cholesterol LOLI'm a big fan of Korean Fried Chicken so ordering their garlic wings is an automatic for me. If you plan in advance, you can call in your oder, otherwise it's a reasonable wait time for them to fry it up.The dining area is clean. They offer specials so just check the board by the front door. And this is what I loved to observe during my wait.....their rapport with their vendor making a delivery of several cases of chicken.It truly is great customer service and work relationship when the owners can take the time to chat it up with their delivery person. To me, happy cooks make the food taste better with all that extra Aloha!So yes, my garlic wings were hot and tasty. Cooked to perfection, juicy in the middle and oh so flavorful. They will certainly see me again at lunch time next week, or the following week :)

I got take out half order crispy and half order mild bbq, tteokbokki and radish. Both types of wings were good. Tteokbokki was good as well. There was no radish dish that I paid for. Service was very kind! Parking isn't bad if you pick up at lunchtime. Cost was over the top as expected. It's good! Don't know whether I absolutely need to return. More power to them though.If you're ever in Tahoe, you MUST stop at Wing's Korean Chicken in Incline Village. Their chicken is delicious and large. Best Korean chicken in US so far. You get the gloves too.

I was feeling a bit peckish (bad pun intended). Would Von's make me cluck contentedly or make me bock unhappily?If you saw the 5 star rating, then you'd know this chick was happy afterwards. (I promise that is the last chicken wordplay.)The mandoo had crispy edges, but they weren't burnt, making for a nice contrast between the soft filling / most of the wrapper and the crunchiness of the edges. They disappeared in a flash.I recently had fast-food chicken for the first time in about two years. Interestingly, while I liked it, it was not as good as I remember it. (The diet I've been on altered my taste buds.) The fried wings from Von's had the flavor that was missing from the recent fast-food chicken place order. I could have gone to town on those, but I wanted to try the "snow" wings (cheese and onion). They were good, but the flavor was subtle. Too subtle for me. I couldn't detect the onion at all and desired much more of a cheesy flavor. But I'd order them again, for certain. Despite Grubhub's poor service ( I don't typically use them for a variety of reasons, but I had a gift card), the wings were still crispy despite the delivery delay. The boxes the were in were left partially open so they wouldn't steam their way to soggyness during the journey. The wings were fried properly so that they were done but not overcooked.

- Overall: This Von's is just as good as all the other locations! Was very happy that the quality and taste was consistent. This Korean fried chicken is crunchy and full of taste on the outside, and juice on the inside. Good sized chicken wings too!- Wait time: For takeout at 6:30pm, it took about 20 min for our order to be ready from time of order over the phone. Pretty quick!- Service: Very nice Korean couple seem to run the store, they were pleasant :) It was a quick encounter for picking up our food- Ambience: There are a few seats inside but it's a very small shop kind of in the middle of nowhere (past the lively part of Kakaako but not yet in downtown) so most customers were just doing takeout- What we ordered: Half portion of crispy shoyu wings, and half portion of honey butter wings- Price: It's about $16 for a half portion which is 10 wings, or about $28 for a full portion which is 20 wings- Taste: Super tasty! Crunchy outside, juicy inside. Shoyu was great, not too salty or sweet. Honey butter was great too, but a little bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll probably get the shoyu wings and the garlic wings

i've never had a bad experience at Von's. If they had Buffalo Wings i might be a daily customer. I just keep a holster of hot sauces on me and add it to their regular wings. I've also tried all the other flavors and have always been pleasantly surprised. The staff at our O'ahu locations have always been pleasant and kind when i've visited. if you want good crispy chicken wings that dwarf the competition, you should go to Von's.

Decided to stop by here for lunch today.The restaurant was nice and welcoming but was temperature was rather warm inside. The AC appeared on, but it was very warm which made it uncomfortable to sit and wait for our food. The cashier stated that our food would take about 15 min long to be ready but it did actually took about 25 min.We ordered 4 fried shoyu chicken plates. Each plate was $11.99. We were shocked to see that it only had 4 pieces of chicken in the plate and each additional piece of chicken was $1.50 a piece.I wasn't impressed with the chicken. The flavor was bland and the chicken was still a little pink in color on the inside. Although it was crispy on the outside, my overall impression of the chicken was blah...The rice was good, but the kimchee appeared to be old and had a weird taste. I could not eat it. The mandoo was not fried all the way through which was a big turn off. I could not even eat it after the first bite.I would not recommend Vons but others may have differnt opinions. I personally don't care for it and have had better chicken from other places.

I wasn't impressed with Korean Fried Chicken back home until I tried Vons! My husband and I were hesitant to try Korean Fried Chicken after trying it back home in Canada. After some convincing, my son bought from Vons and it changed everything.He ordered Crispy Fried Sweet & Chili and Crispy Fried Shoyu. Half size orders are 10 pcs each while full sizes are 20 pcs. Prices are $13.99 and $25.49 respectively. I love how the chicken retains its crispness despite being tossed in the sauce. Batter of chicken isn't thick either. Love it and will definitely be back to try other flavours.
