Vons Chicken

I've been coming to this Vons Chicken location (also combined with Ramen & More) for a while (on and off) since 2017, mostly for takeout, and I have to say their Korean fried chicken is amazing. The cheddar chicken and yangnyeom chicken are my go-to orders, and the fried oysters are a good size and crispy--definitely a highlight. However, the ramen here is pretty mediocre.I recently dined in and tried the tantanmen ramen, which I loved pre-COVID, but unfortunately, it wasn't the same. The broth lacked flavor and there was barely any ground beef--it honestly felt like I had just ordered top ramen. Not what I was expecting, and it's a major letdown compared to what it used to be.The honey butter fried chicken is well-made, though a bit too sweet for my personal taste. If you're into a strong sweet-savory combo, you might like it more than I did.One thing to note is that the restaurant is quite small, with tables that only seat four people. For larger parties, the staff needs to rearrange the tables, which can be a bit inconvenient if you're in a big group. On a positive note, customer service is very friendly, and I always appreciated the regular water refills during my visits.Overall, I highly recommend the fried chicken--especially if you're a fan of crispy, well-prepared chicken--but if you're looking for good ramen, I'd skip it.

Fried chicken skin is crispy, moist meat, so good! Service was fast, staff were friendly and attentive. Enjoyed eating on the Patio during a nice Spring weather.

I kept hearing about "The Other" KFC, meaning Korean fried chicken instead of Kentucky fried chicken, and so when I saw Vons, I decided to give it a try. I am glad we tried it, but we didn't think it was worth the hype. Maybe it was an off day, maybe it was what we ordered, whatever it was, it just didn't seem very different or more special than what we have had elsewhere. I do have to say that I just LOVE Korean food. I find Korean food to be so flavorful and usually so complex, but these chicken pieces could have used some more flavor. The chickens were crispy, and golden, but bland, and didn't tempt me to continue eating once I was feeling full-ish like most Korean food does. Like seriously, with most Korean food I eat until I burst, these were good, but not THAT good.

Another hard to find, tucked in the corner and not enough signage yummy food spot. Vons is located next to Sushi Hook on Howe. This location shares operation with a Ramen and More. My fiancé and I tried two orders of their chicken and Bulgogi Ramen. The prices of the chicken seem a bit steep compared to other chicken locations but in this day and age small restaurants like this are just trying to survive. We order a half order Crispy Yangnyum, half order crispy garlic chicken tenders and Bulgogi Ramen. The Yangnyum has a bit of a kick. The half order of legs are huge and have tons of meat. The flavor is all the way down to the bone. Next time I will try the legs extra well done for a better crunch which I heard is the way to go. I also added the butter powder seasoning to a few of my legs as suggested by a friend. A must try!!! The crispy garlic chicken tenders were delicious! They are crunchy and flavorful. They use chicken thighs to make their tenders. The tenders are a nice size and covered in their garlic sauced. I also added the butter powder seasoning to a few of my tenders just to see! It's really good with their butter powder seasoning as well. The Bulgogi Raman bowl was pretty yummy. The meat was well seasoned and tender! I am not a fan but my fiancé enjoyed the bowl. Besides, the price and location the food is really good. The service is great! The restaurant is small in the inside with Limited seating. For those who like Sake, they have a few selections on their menu.

We ordered take out. The food packaging is very thoughtful. Fried chicken is shielded but not fully closed so it's hot but not soggy. Also service is fast and efficient. We have Crispy Yangnyeom Chicken which is fresh, crispy and deliciously spicy! The batter is a little thick on some pieces but overall tasty! I personally love the spiciness. My husband said it's is too spicy but I found it just right. If you like a little kick this is a great choice! We also got a bibimbap, which is something I don't recommend ordering. The chicken in there has a weird reheated taste, like when you cook it and let it sit out for too long and then reheated it. It also quite dry and under seasoned. The veggies are also quite under seasoned. The gochujang can't event fix it.. over all not a lot of flavors like other bibimbaps I've had. However, this is a fried chicken place. So I shouldn't judge the bibimbap too harshly. But I would recommend stick with the fried chicken and avoid this haha.Again, service is super efficient. The order was completed in around 30mins. And the fried chicken is good!!

Tiny lil wing shop serving tasty ramen and Korean fried chicken. We tried garlic Parmesan, honey butter and yang nyum wings. The garlic Parmesan was the best. The honey butter was sort of strange and the mild yang nyum were not spicy at all. Our server recommended the traditional crispy wings so I think we will get those next time.Not much charm here but pretty tasty food.

This was my second time eating at this Von's location and first time dining outside. The patio doesn't seem to get used often, and everything was a bit dusty/dirty. For dinner between 3 adults, we ordered squid legs, laver rolls, and 2 half orders of chicken. We also got 2 sides of rice and a side of pickled radish. Laver rolls were good, squid legs good but portion quite small, chicken was OK, a bit bland. Sadly, after finishing all our food, the 2 guys left still hungry, but I felt just right since I had a bowl of rice with my chicken. Service was OK. We got most of everything we needed in a timely matter.

You know that the fried chicken is K-style when you take a bite of it and think "I sure could wash this down with some ~beer~."*KrONcHy* fried chicken. Juicy too but also a tad too greasy for my liking. Not a fan of the yangnyum sauce used here; rather gloopy and tastes very ketchup-y.Laver rolls are nice little appetizers if you need even more crispiness in your feast. The honey butter French fries are the ultimate drink snack lol super generous portion of honey butter seasoning that tastes very similar to the seasoning used in bagged honey butter chips seen at Asian grocery stores.Friendly server. Overall a pretty decent spot if you have a hankering for some Korean fried chicken in the area.

This place is def a hidden gem of the shopping center. Not only was the food absolutely delish, but the staff was quick and polite. There were also playing K-pop music videos in their giant screens, which is a plus for me.Had the bulgogi ramen and it was exceptional.

We come here to eat ramen once in a while. The food comes out hot. The ambiance is chill. My partner gets the Curry Ramen each time we're here.
