    Honey Butter Wing
    Craig T.

    Can't believe I always pass by this crazy intersection Waialae Ave and St.Louis heights. Right at the corner is a Vons chicken. My nephew wanted some chicken for his birthday so take out w/Vons chicken. The snow chicken was very interesting w/Parmesan cheese . I like the Honey butter as well . Service was fast and friendly and their chicken is very crispy and tasty . Support local

    Ordered by phone 1 full order of plain crispy fried and half order of soy. The price is not super cheap but the freshly fried chicken satisfied our palate. Parking could be a challenge if the front parking lot is full. Since it is take out only, we usually jump in and just pay and pick up. Coming out of the parking lot is also a slight challenge as you watch out for traffic turning around the corner.

    Totally uncool for this restaurant to think it's okay to rip off my teenage daughter! Zero stars for the fluctuation in cost for what was an easy modification to the chicken plate. Chicken plate: Boneless fried chicken Rice Mac salad 2pc Mandoo Modification request: Sub RICE for SNOW FRIES First visit: No problem, sub Rice for Snow Fries $1 upcharge **Mac and Mandoo still included** Second visit: Cashier seemed confused and asked the owner how to charge, then followed owner's advisory. Upon picking up her order, she received: Chicken and Snow Fries in place of the rice (not full order of fries) **Mac and Mandoo, NOT included** **6.99 upcharge But wait... the Snow Fries side order is $6.99..? So you mean to tell me that you think it's fair to charge FULL PRICE for the plate and FULL PRICE for the fries, but you KEPT the Rice, Mac, and Mandoo?? Does that even sound fair to you, business owner? Sounds like you owe my daughter money.

    I was super excited to see that they opened up in Hawaii Kai! They're in the same shopping plaza as Safeway, right next to Liko's. I had read that they make each order fresh and that it typically takes 20 minutes, so I called my order in. The person who took my order said it'd be 10-15 min, but it was definitely 20+ min. It's a small place with 4-5 tables inside. It seemed that all of the customers who came in were getting their orders to go. They had K-Pop playing on the TV screen while you wait! This was my first time at a Von's chicken, although I love Korean chicken! I went with the chicken plate for $11.99, which comes with 4 bone-in chicken wings (I chose the shoyu flavor based on the reviews), rice, corn, 2 pieces of mandoo and kimchi. The chicken was crunchy and flavorful. It was also very juicy! It had a nice sweetness to it. I'd definitely return to try some of their other flavors! The corn tasted like it came out of a can, but the mandoo was crunchy and the kimchi was amazing! Right now they're offering free fries if you check in on Yelp. They're string fries and nothing to write home about, but hey, they're free! Definitely check them out if you're in the Hawaii Kai area. They also have several other locations on the island.

    I've been seeing Vons pop up on my Yelp for a while. On a very hungry day off, as I was passing through Kaimuki, I just had to try it. To tell the truth, the parking here is quite terrible. I was lucky to come on a weekday and during lunch. You have to pull into the driveway from the street that goes up toward St Louis heights. I can easily see someone getting blocked in or having a hard time getting out. I had a hard time getting out of the parking and back onto Waialae since it's such a busy street. Anyway, besides the parking, the chicken here is amazing. It's that Korean fried chicken kind of restaurant. Kind of similar to the restaurant bbq chicken in Kahala. I got the original and it was great. Nice and crispy and not spicy at all. My husband got the spicy wings and he loved it. The ride home with the chicken in my passenger seat was torture. The smells of the delicious chicken driving from Kaimuki to Hawaii Kai made my stomach rumble even more. We will definitely go back again. Can't wait to try other things.

    Snow boneless plate

    First time here and it was good. Food was made fresh (chicken was so hot it melted the stytofoam!) Mandoo seem frozen but still tasted good. Got a plate which has a good amount of chicken (I don't like bones so I got boneless). Plate comes with a large portion of rice, some corn (canned but decent), and 2 mandoo. I tried the "snow" flavor which it says is onion/cheese. It was good, slightly sweet, but I wanted more flavor. The chicken was cooked well though with lots of meat and not too much fat. The picture of the plate has mac salad but when I asked he said the only have corn now. It was fast, hot, and tasty so all around a good experience. The parking is difficult though with a very small lot and it was all full so I had to park down the street and walk a bit. It looked very clean too.

    Vons chicken is a franchise, but we are from the east coast so we don't have it there to try. We wanted crispy fried chicken and we ordered spicy steamed chicken flavor. Oh it def had a kick to it since I haven't had spicy food due to my pregnancy. The chef in the back messed up our order and did mild for us, then mixed it with spicy. The lady in the front gave us spicy dipping sauce on the side but told us the milk has a sour taste to it and apologized. It wasn't a big deal to us. The service was great and the restaurant looks super clean! I also ordered the Baja corn and it wasn't good at all. :9 for order it! They are known for the chicken not corn' If I was a local I wouldn't mind eating this chicken again but trying the garlic chicken with the spicy sauce on the side !

    My kids love Korean Fried Chicken.... So we were excited that Vons open up on Waialae.... We wanted to buy the full order but mixed the flavors but unfortunately it's not allowed. The original fried chicken was good but the kids said it tasted like Popeyes so I don't know if we can take it as a compliment or not.....

    Going to Vons in Kaimuki has been on my to-do list for a while. I'm so happy I went. Korean fried chicken is so enjoyable. And Vons is consistently good. We got half orders (10 wings) of the crispy seasoned (spicy) and the crispy shoyu ($14.99). The crispy shoyu was my favorite. This one is fried but tossed with that shoyu sauce. Mmm, umami! But it's not wet or gooey. The crispy seasoned was too hot for me! But I would try the mild version because the flavors were nice. It's fried and coated with a gooey sauce that is slightly sweet. The deal of the day is the corn on the cob! $1.99 with purchase! The regular price is $4.45! What?! You have a choice of Baja BBQ or butter mayo (I think she said there's parmesan cheese on it). Get it! The corn is fresh island corn. It's perfectly cooked, crispy and sweet. The Baja BBQ is slightly spicy. I need to try the butter mayo next. Parking is tricky. You might have to do some maneuvering. But at least there are quite a few stalls. I'll take that challenge to be able to get good eats in my neighborhood!

    I have been boycotting the Vons chicken on Pensacola, so I was very excited about this location opening up in kaimuki. Kaimuki is awesome already, so why not add a cons chicken to the number of reasons why I love kaimuki. I do not love the parking lot I have to use when I go here though. It gives me anxiety to have to park in this lot. So I have been waiting for a non busy time to try out this Vons. I got the shoyu wings. They were excellent. I got the snow fries which were ok, but I could pass on these next time. I though a full size would feed 4 people, but I had some extras for lunch the next day and they were still good warmed up. I think next time I will get the half size. It takes a little while for them to make the chicken. I would definitely suggest calling in your order ahead of time. The girl answering the phone I think was chinese, she understood and correctly repeated back to me what I wanted, but I was nervous my order wouldn't be right for some reason. I shouldn't have worried, everything turned out perfectly. They have a few tables inside, but I think most people get their chicken to go. I'll definitely be back. I wish they sold pickled radish like the palama location has :)

    Nothing against Waikiki Chicken in Paradise, but I'm not going to lie - I had no idea the mini food…read moretruck park they're located in even existed, let alone had them on my list of bookmarks. However, after having to abandon our original dinner plans, we were no less intrigued after randomly stumbling across this place. While they may not have been our first choice for dinner, coming here was far more appealing than eating fast food or at the nearby IHOP! Although seeing so many folks at this mini food truck park may have been what caught our attention, it was the boxes of fried chicken on nearly every table that swayed us to try Waikiki Chicken in Paradise in particular. After skimming the menu, it wasn't hard to see why they were such a popular choice - everything on it sounded great. Granted, that's not overly difficult when there are only eight items to choose from, but tough to argue with the likes of fried chicken loco moco, fried chicken curry rice, fried chicken sandwiches, chicken & croffle, and fish & chips! Since we saw how big the portion were and didn't want anything too heavy (read: sadly, no loco moco or Japanese curry), we opted to split a FRIED CHICKEN RICE PLATE ($16.95) which came with a Fried Chicken Cutlet over White Rice with Mac Salad & Green Salad. Funny enough, despite already having a sense of how much food they give, I was still surprised by the generous portion size. As for how it all tasted, this was great. The breading on the chicken reminded me of Popeye's (though, without the spice), the batter was crispy, and the chicken itself was rather moist. As for the sides, the mac salad was pretty good, but the salad was a little heavy on dressing. If there was one thing I could change about our order, I think I'd want to see how it would taste with a sauce or glaze. At the very least, I'd definitely go with a different dipping sauce, like their Pineapple Ginger, Lilikoi Mayo, or Guava BBQ, as the Honey Mustard we went with tasted a bit generic. Of course, we could've solved both problems if we had gone with the Fried Chicken Loco Moco or Fried Chicken Curry Rice instead! I guess I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm in Waikiki!

    I ordered the K-Crispy Chicken "Whole Pieces" and really got ripped off…read more Out of the 10 Piece box, only 3 pieces, 1 leg, 2 wings were complete pieces. They actually cut in half 5 pieces of the Chicken Backs and each 1/2 counted as a piece of overcooked chicken jerky! I also got a 1/3 of a breast section with bones and not even a 1/2 of a thigh. That totals my 10 pieces. More bones and excess crispy flour then consumable meat. NOBODY gives a Chicken back (or 1/2 a back)! Not Popeyes, not KFC or Zippy's who will remain my Favorite because I will only get ripped off the 1st time, never again. Additionally, they make you buy the sauce, the reason is due to no seasoning on the over floured bread...but it IS Crispy! The Chicken tenders were overcooked and REALLY Chewy around the edges. Just a LOT of breaded Crispy with no flavor, what "Chef" doesn't even use salt? Really, if you're going to risk testing this food, PAY for some sauce! I hope the Owner reads this and realizes that ripping people off by selling broken pieces that most Chef's throw away because they have so little meat on them, isn't going to keep him in business. The profit margin may be up while folks are trying it, spending their hard earn $$$'s, yet not coming back will be the ultimate demise of this business as many other have come and gone doing the exact same thing, not putting themselves in he patron's position. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a bowl of whole chicken pieces and immediately grabbed one that was back bone chopped in half?

    I quite like the new owners of this Korean fried chicken shop! Where Good Chicken once was is now E…read moreChicken, which is run by a sweet Korean couple. Be sure to call ahead, it usually takes ~30 min per order if you call. Takeout only. Service is very polite. Parking is tough because of the area but there are a few spots out front, would generally recommend calling ahead so parking is less stressful. Their menu was a little confusing to me so here is some explanation: K pop chicken- boneless chicken pieces K chicken wings- flats and drumettes (the two parts of a larger chicken wing) K chicken tenders- boneless tenders only K crispy chicken- full wings, thighs, and breast pieces They offer each of these items as a plate lunch too, with a smaller portion of chicken that comes with rice and salad. I personally like the K chicken wings for the variety and higher meat to skin ratio but my husband really likes the K chicken wings. The skin is shatteringly crispy and flavorful and the meat is juicy. Their honey shoyu sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. You can also request the sauce on the side. I've also had the fried rice which was decent and generously portioned. We once had a complimentary house salad given to us which was unexpected kindness. Overall they do a great job serving up a delicious craveable food that keeps us coming back!

The chicken skin had a nice crunch to it and the meat was juicy (not super oily, but juicy.) The mashed potatoes and gravy weren't bad. They were not super fluffy but a little more on the dense side.

It was a little spicy, which I loved! I wasn't expecting it to be spicy so it was a very pleasant surprise! It was a tad sweet...just the right amount! (There isn't a 3-piece combo on the menu, but the server was kind enough to accommodate my request for an extra piece of chicken.) It came with a container of gravy that made me wonder what it was for, immediately. Then I remembered all the commercials and YouTube videos where food reviewers either slathered their chicken with the gravy or they dunked it into the gravy. I was so hungry that I forgot for a few seconds that the gravy was for the chicken, thus I drank most of the gravy!! The dining area is constantly cleaned and draws a diverse crowd. Because it is at the beginning of downtown it does attract some homeless people as well. But, that's life in the big city, right? When I went to the restroom I found it amusing that a male Jollibee employee was changing his shirt. It seemed he was done for the day. Overall, it was a pleasant meal.

This past visit, they came out with the chicken nuggets which we tried. They looked like over cooked chicken stones, but inside, they tasted okay. Our order is almost always missing at least one item, the wait times are extremely long for food, and even when the app (if you order on the app) says your food is ready, it's usually not. I would still eat here again.
