Vons Chicken - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

Korean chicken wings for dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located at the busy corner of Young Street and Pensacola Street, this Vons Chicken has no parking lot. There's metered street parking in the area. Inside, there's not much air-conditioning. It's basically a takeout place, but there were 3 stools for counter seating. My sisters like the Crispy Shoyu wings, so we had a full order which is 18 pieces. It took about 15 minutes and came out hot and fresh! I was able to carry the box without a package (because I didn't want to pay 30 cents for a bag) to my car. It was delicious! There was a mix of flats and drummettes... no tips... yay! read more

This location is conveniently located across the street from KP, at the corner of street lights. After my Dr visit, I wanted some good fried chicken so I walked here afterwards. This location is small, but there are some bar chairs inside for customers to use. Two female employees were friendly. I ordered a dozen spicy fried chicken shoyu. The chicken came out super crunchy and spicy, good quality of meat- just how I like it! It took about ~20 mins to prep for the order. read more

Crispy, tasty and always hot and fresh. It's been years since we've gotten take out here and I'm happy to see the quality is still there. Inside it's kind of junky but I think there focus is carry out so who cares. I'm posting some menu photos because it looks like they recently revamped the pricing structure. The full order is smaller than before. I got the Crispy Shoyu Hot, I don't remember anything being this hot there before but the heat took me back to my recent trip to Korea so I welcome the flavor. Still if you can't handle heat stick with their mild options which are plenty. Always friendly service so I'll be sure not to let so much time go by between visits read more

My husband is in Hawaii for business right now and has been trying all of the local spots. Yesterday he went to this restaurant for lunch. He said the restaurant was clean and well kept, and was very busy. The staff was nice and his server did a good job. My husband loves spicy food and fried chicken, and he said his meal was a great combination of both! It was a lot of food for only $20! He said he would definitely be back before he leaves Hawaii to try some other stuff on their menu. If you like spicy food, large portions, and fried chicken, you definitely want to check this place out. read more

The Service was excellent. Small and cozy food kiosk in a Korean Grocery Stire. I wish they had another way of keeping the chicken crispy. The garlic chicken was placed in a cardboard takeout box and tied either a plastic bag with holes poked throughout the bag. Unfortunately by the time I got home, the plastic wrap was full of moisture, the cardboard box fell apart . Luckily I have an air fryer, so I enjoyed the delicious crispness of the garlic chicken. read more

Found this place on Yelp and had solid reviews. Vons is a Korean fried chicken joint that offers takeout. Seating is extremely limited--maybe two or three stools inside. Street parking only--at least that I'm aware of. Fried chicken here wasn't bad I thought. All packed with flavor. We had spicy, soy garlic, and shoyu. Spicy had good heat. Soy garlic had little minced pieces of garlic which added some nice flavor. And shoyu wasn't bad. I'd probably skip shoyu next time. Also had a side of snow fries and IMO that's a skip for takeout. It got soggy too fast in the bag after maybe 15 min. Overall chicken wasn't bad. Cheers. read more

The food was delicious. But the reason for the low rating, is because it's impossible to place a phone order. You need to go in person, place your order and wait. Street parking is near impossible, so being able to order ahead of time, and run in to pick up your food is crucial. Answer the phone and my review would increase by 3-4 stars. read more

We love this location since it's so close to home. I've only been to this location, so I can't say if it holds up to how all Vons operate. But, from all I know....definitely one of my top 3 spots for when I'm craving or just wanted fried chicken (which to be honest is at least 2x month lol). Located on Pensacola street, we grabbed a spot at one of the metered stalls right outside. It's a cozy place where most people just order by phone or grab and go. There is one small table with 3 stools that you can use if you want to eat there. We usually opt to eat there. Little tip: we found out it is BYOB so we'll sometimes grab a beverage from across the street while we wait and then enjoy our complete meal. Service is quick and friendly, usually about a 15 min wait for our food. We ordered a Full Order (20 pieces) and our flavor choice today was the Snow (cheese & onions) and a side of Honey Butter fries. The chicken comes out piping hot and crispy! With the snow powder that blankets the wings and bottom of the box. So far I've tried their honey butter and snow flavors, but will be back again to try their others. They also offer half orders, and plates. Always a solid and reliable choice, and one of our favorite fried chicken spots. read more

The Von's I usually order from was closed, so I got delivery from this location for the first time. The snow wings were soul-satisfying, as they always have been. It's good to find consistency of quality in different franchise locations. I continue to yearn for just a bit more cheese, though. But then they lost me with the mandoo. There was no option for "no sauce," just "regular," "mild," and " spicy." I didn't want any sauce but selected mild. They took great care to vent the container so the mandoo wouldn't get limp and soggy. Then they completely undermined that effort. Foolish me for assuming the sauce would be on the side. Instead, the mandoo were drenched in this sickly sticky and slightly sweet sauce. My taste buds were not amused. I don't care for them but I won't waste food, either. Should I order mandoo from here again, I will write in a special request for NO SAUCE. read more

Service is great and the wings are excellent. Not sure why it took me so long to drop in a Vons chicken. But I'm glad I finally did. This place is small and only two tables for dining in but we as most do ordered to go. The wait was about 15 minutes which you'd expect for freshly seasoned battered fried chicken. We ordered two half orders (10) wings. The Yangnyeom medium crispy fried chicken was very tasty and not as spicy as we like so would get the hot next time. Nice thin crispy exterior. Very succulent and tasty inside. A solid 5/5 The second order was the shoyu crispy chicken which had the same crispy texture but the seasoning was a light mild flavor. Again a 5/5. Definitely a great chicken wing spot. OBTW they were completely slammed and sold out on Super Bowl Sunday. T read more

Chicken was amazing and fresh. Service was good also. Being from Southern California the name of this establishment confused me because we have supermarket called Vons. So when looking for this place I was looking for a big supermarket. lol read more

Vons Chicken - When you crave that crispy, crunchy goodness in your life, this place delivers the standard KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) experience you're after. It's usually a quick 15-minute wait from order to pick up, and the satisfaction is guaranteed. Personally, I'm all about the Snow Wing - it's the flavor champion, in my book. read more

Vons Chicken - menus on a brick wall - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Von's chicken has become a go-to option for me lately. I really enjoy the shoyu chicken and the garlic chicken, so I like to get a half order of each. They aren't the cheapest, it's $15.99 and $16.49 for half orders, which are 10 pieces each, but not crazy expensive. I really enjoy that the chicken is crispy, but not dry, and it's especially good if you eat it fresh! This location has 2 seats inside, so it's more of a to-go place compared to sit down. There's often parking available in the metered stalls in front, which is perfect to grab and go. The staff here is pretty friendly, which is always nice. If you enjoy chicken, I say give it a try! read more

Whenever my hubby and I crave chicken wings, our thoughts go to Vons Chicken. Now, there are several locations in town, and just as a point of information, the pricing varies from location to location. We go to this location because, between the one in Waikiki, the location in Palama Market off Kalakaua, and this one, the location on Pensacola Street, is the lowest priced. It's one of our favorite items for tailgates. I gave this location 4 stars because parking is a challenge, and sometimes the person who answers the phone when we call in an order sounds like it's a hassle to take the order. With that said, we still love the wings, and honestly, anywhere you go, wings can be pretty pricey. So we have tried several different flavors, but our fav is the crispy shoyu chicken. Now, it is crisp, not your local-style plate lunch shoyu chicken. You've got to try it to understand the difference. It is finger-licking, lip-smacking good! The location is no-frills, so don't expect anything fancy. There is no sitting area, and parking can be a challenge. It is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that is worth a try. read more

Vons chicken is good but get the plain with sauce on the side if you want your chicken wing to be crispy

We was in the area and wife was craving nag for some good chicken wings. Our first time for this location but been to the others. We love there style of fried chicken wings. They have a few flavors to choose from and they are really good. There always made to order and always fresh and hot. There is a bit of a wait since they make it fresh all the time. This place is nice and fairly renovated. It's a little small but due to its location this place would consider just be a take out order and not really a dine in like most of the restaurants I've been to. I notice they even have a bento menu few days of the week. read more

If you want to eat delicious Korean fried chicken, this is the place to go Once you try it, you will want to come back again and again. What can I say, I highly recommend the crispy shoyu (soy sauce)chicken! You can't miss this! The chicken is cooked just right, crispy and very juicy and it is best to eat freshly cooked chicken. And their spicy chicken wings are so good! The spiciness of the sauce on the chicken is just right, and it goes great with beer! I love the chicken at this restaurant. At one time, I ate it several times in one week. That's how good the chicken was, and how impressed I was! I wish more people knew about the chicken here! Because the chicken here is so good, you'll get addicted to it! read more

Vons Chicken - Chicken wings ！！ - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Vons is definitely a nice splurge when we want to treat ourselves with a beer and chicken night. I usually go to the locations in Palama Supermarket after doing some shopping, but this one was on the way home. We got two 10-piece orders (one of shoyu and one seasoned), so twenty pieces total for about $41 in total or at $17.99+tax each. Wallet is not happy, but my tummy is. Expect to pay extra if you want any sides like daikon or rice! Food takes about 15-20 minutes, so calling ahead of time is best. There are a few parking stalls on Pensacola, but I recommend parking at the Walgreens lot since it's right across the street. This location is grab n' go style, but they do have 2-3 stools for people to wait at. Honestly, you could eat there, but I would be uncomfortable because the staff is pretty unprofessional. I stopped by around 5:30pm on Thursday, and two ladies and one of their daughters were sitting in the front of the store on their phones. The child kept running in and out of the kitchen, which seemed very unsafe since frying is very much involved. This made me very uncomfortable, but they ended up leaving soon after so nothing happened. The cashier was very quick to take my order, but also was obviously annoyed that she had to take my order during her break. I made it quick and she went into the kitchen. When she came back out, she was sucking on a lollipop! A lollipop!! I know we all arw guilty of snacking during work, but I've never seen someone so nonchalant about it in food service! She walked around with the lollipop, going in and out of the kitchen, leaning on the counter, holding it while she took someone else's order and continued on. Health inspection season just passed yall, come on! Anyway, my food came out 20 minutes later, and I liked that they leave it half open to vent out without getting soggy. When I got home 15 minutes later, the chicken was still super hot and crispy, but probably because they were not nearly as saucy as it should've been. For the Fried Shoyu chicken, they literally just poured some of the sauce on the chicken in the box and the rest went on the side of the box. I really don't think this was the best representation of this store or company, because it seemed like the owner or manager of the store was not there that day. Vons are usually consistent no matter which location or time of day you go, but I know these are tough times, finding enough good staff and whatnot. Even though my experience here was not that good, I empathize with them and have had better experiences. read more

Ordered Spicy fried chicken and Garlic fried chicken from another vons location earlier this week and really enjoyed the wings! Then got to order from this location a few days after, and they fry and sauce it differently. Our 10 piece Garlic wings had lots of sauce, while our Spicy wings didn't have enough sauce. 1/2 our wings still had red meat, as if they were undercooked or due to being frozen wings. Phone ordered and it was 15-20 mins, recommend their wings generally! read more

Order from Uber Eat & Pick up at the store! Inside was dirty, Fifty & bad smell! Staff was very unpleasant without any greeting & smile. Rice cake was less than a menu on the Application & when ask the staff, she just told me the application is wrong! I don't know if the owner has changed but previous Korean owner was more polite. Most Importantly the Chicken Taste Better before. With poor service and quantity The fried chicken was not even fully cooked!! Chicken was bloody inside.

Valentine's Day just got a whole lot better. Thank you for the hook up and being so accommodating. I ordered through Yelp earlier in the day for a later take out time, but turns out I had my schedule mixed up and needed it earlier. Vons made it earlier and right on time it was waiting for me for pick up. The chicken is always spot on and very flavorful. I'm surprised how well a wet sauce can stick to a crispy surface without it getting soggy! The snow fries was the first time I got them. Imagine those perfect crunchy fries you get from McDonald's but for every single one! They are all coated evenly so there were no fries left out. By far one of the best choices to make during the weekly food hunting. Highly recommend half orders if you want to try a variety of things. A little pricey but I think it's worth. Parking is hard so maybe have someone run down when you're pulled up on the side of young st. read more

Vons Chicken - Crispy Fried Shoyu Chicken and French Fries Snow (cheese & onions) - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Vons is an amazing option for fried chicken wings. They primarily just have wings all made to order plain or tossed in choice flavored sauce, preferred it baked...they also have roast oven chicken which I'm not sure but are chunks not wings. Orders are half (10 PCs) and full (20 PCs) sizes and the wings were pretty massive which I was quite pleasantly surprised. They also offer chicken plate (boneless or 4pcs wings) with rice and Mac salad. Currently they're take out only and everything are made fresh to order that's usually approximately 15 minute wait, avoid that by calling in your order. Located on the corner of Pensacola and Young Street parking is definitely a challenge but worth the struggle to cross the road lol, thank you!! read more

After a long day working non-stop, I was in dire need of Korean fried chicken and Netflix! Vons Chicken did not disappoint! We placed a phone order and picked up our chicken 20 minutes later. It was kind of late so parking on Pensacola St. was no problem. Our order was ready to go so it was easy in and out! Once I got home I got comfy and happily ate my spicy fried chicken (4/5). I was as glad it was still hot, crispy, spicy and not too sweet. A perfect fried chicken to go with a Netflix night in! The 1/2 size was I more than enough for me. Next time I return I'll try the original fried chicken. LOCATION: 4/5 FOOD: 4/5 SERVICE: 4/5 VALUE: 4:5 AMBIANCE: 3/5 PET FRIENDLY: n/a (to go only) CLEANLINESS: 3/5 PARKING: 4/5 read more

Talk about good chicken wings?! Wow all the flavors were so tasty and crispy! My favorite was the crispy Snow wings which are a sweet cheese flavor! My least favorite was the garlic, but only because it wasn't garlicky enough. If I didn't know they were garlic before tasting, I wouldn't have never guessed that's what they were. Still good, just expecting more garlic flavor. Love this place and will definitely be back for more! read more

Vons Chicken never disappoints. Their wings are crispy and juicy -- my favorite is the spicy but their most popular is the shoyu. Ahh my mouth is watering just writing this review! The man who helped us, I'm assuming is the owner, was friendly and patient sharing most popular flavors and explaining pretty much the whole menu. My indecisive self appreciated that! I went in around noon on a Monday, was the only one there, and my order was ready in 3 minutes. I also love that they have a ramp leading into their store -- accessibility-friendly. read more

Awesome fried chicken! I had been hesitant to try the Korean fried chicken here, because I have an allergy to msg. However the Fried Chicken here has no msg, though the staff said that some of the sauces might have this chemical. The chicken is cooked to order, so you may have to wait a few minutes, but you're going to get it piping hot and fresh! It was a little pricey, $15 for a 10-piece chicken wing box, but it definitely was delicious! Parking can be a hassle in this area, but definitely worth the effort. I have had better chicken wings, at locations that specialize in free range chickens, but this is definitely an excellent option. As a side note, I was not treated rudely like some of the previous reviewers posted. It was definitely very businesslike, but not unfriendly. read more
