Monica N.

I stopped by here on the way home yesterday. I live an hour away and when I got to the party I attended, it was still so good! Everybody enjoyed it. I appreciate the daikon it comes with because it balances out the flavors. I ordered the Vons special oven baked chicken, honey butter fried chicken, and crispy padak fried chicken. All were so good. Next time, I will order extra honey butter fried chicken! The service was great. The woman working in the front was sweet and helping others who were there to order. Would be back next time I'm in the area.

The location is a little small, around 4-6 tables. When I came here it was pretty backed up. I think it's all made to order, so it'll take a while, be prepared for that. Had 2 combo orders, both Honey Butter chicken and with fries. It took 25 mins to get my order. Minus the long wait, the food was solid. I liked the fries, but loved the chicken! The Honey Butter is definitely the way to go! One of the best non-saucy chicken that I've had

Vons Korean BBQ Chicken is a tasty, convenient option that hits the basics well--crispy texture, balanced sauce, and satisfying flavor--perfect for an easy meal with minimal effort. Service is great! Relaxing ! Love it !

First time trying this establishment and it hit the spot! I was craving Korean fried chicken for lunch and this restaurant was nearby my work and it was open just in time for lunch. The service was good. I placed a togo order on the food and the food was ready when I arrived. The inside of the restaurant was clean and organized. The ambiance was really nice inside. Felt cozy and simple. The food was great. I ordered the boneless chicken with french fries and white rice. The food was hot and seasoned nicely. The chicken had a good blend of spicy and sweetness to it. The french fries were super crispy. The order also came with a pickle radish I believe. It complimented the dish quite nicely and really bought it all together. Overall I give this restaurant a solid 4/5 star review. Will definitely be back for the chicken and also order other menu items. They have a nice assortment of items to choose from.

Honey butter chicken. Good but too sweet for me. Very well cooked and cooked fresh.

Julianna T.

Ordered ahead. Good fried chicken but the honey butter powder was too sweet for me. $20 for a 9 piece with no sides is kinda expensive.

The service was friendly. The ambience was also very nice. Location is easy to find so was parking

First time going to Vons. I visited their Livermore location on a Saturday afternoon. The store was small, but it wasn't busy. I think there was only one or two people running the restaurant. I ordered the combo which was about $14 with the Kimchi fried rice as a side. I was content with my meal. The food is cooked to order, so the chicken came out hot. Overall, it was good. The wait was about 10 minutes, so it was reasonable. I'd come back again. Plenty of parking outside. Gloved and napkins are available.

Vons is a staple in Guam and was glad to try it here. All the orders are setup to go it seems (maybe you can ask for reusable plates) I got a combo with kimbop but added rice as rice is life. Quick service. Yummy food

Girish B.

Chicken burger, Korean style...comes with Von's special sauce and tomato ketchup (in packets) served on the side which I suspect was for the French fries that I did not order

F. Crispy Yangnyum Chicken - Half (Spicy sauce on the side, extra crispy)

I have been here many times since their opening and I absolutely love it. The people here are always so sweet and caring! The person who I believe is the manager or maybe owner is probably the biggest reason I won't stop coming, she's always so kind and goes out of the way to remember her regulars and call them by their name. Not to mention the chicken is great! Admittingly, the fried chicken itself is not unlike other Korean fried chicken places but the sauces are absolutely addicting. I've tried a lot of their varieties by now and I think all of them are nice. The chicken is not really greasy, it's fried nicely and the proportions are generous. It's not too pricey neither. I usually get their lunch deal after school which is nice if you want a side with your chicken. Will come back again! read more

This was my first time, I have driven past this place almost daily to get to Starbucks. Today was a day I decided it was finally time to pull the trigger. The gentleman of the front was really accommodating and help me pick the chicken as well as a couple of sides and some Korean jelly drinks. The food was incredible, I got the spicy level it was extremely spicy it hurt so good. The chicken was battered perfectly and there was just enough sauce drizzled all over it. I also got the spicy rice cakes, not afraid ones. Also extremely delicious I would recommend a medium spice level because spicy is hellllla spicy.

Just imagine for a moment if a beignet bathed in butter & powdered sugar and a small, perfectly fried chicken had a baby you would have a glimpse in to the world of what Honey Butter chicken wings tastes like. 10 out of 10, highly recommend Though this restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall and slightly off the beaten path, it is easily accessible via airway exit from 580 freeway. The quality of chicken they provide is great. My brother and I also tried the boneless option, Yangnyum, medium spicy, half expecting it to be a sauced chicken nugget but we were pleasantly surprised that it seemed to be more like a whole chicken tenderloin rolled up, breaded, then fried and sauced to perfection ::chefs kiss:: You do get what you pay for. The staff was helpful in our ordering process and freely gave recommendations as well as patiently waited on us to decide. They do not have their own WiFi but Starbucks is so near by that I had full signal strength throughout our entire dining experience. They provide indoor seating as well as outdoor patio dining. read more

This bar was nothing near quiet and chill when we swung by. It was more of a frat basement vibe (which I actually found quiet endearing). This place is super tiny. When I came, all the chairs/furniture were pushed to the side to make room for a dance floor. The DJ played frat classics like 'Mo Bamba' and somehow created an energy where everyone was being perfectly carefree and dancing all over the place. Everyone was cramped up in the tiny dancefloor but still had enough room to move around and get to the bar. There was a pool table that was covered off to the side and some games lined up on the wall (to likely be used on a more casual and lowkey night). They had a bunch of security. They had guards at the entrance, by the DJ, and at the back door (that I think led to an outdoor patio). I'm not sure if this makes me feel reassured or concerned that they feel the need to have so much security. To me, the drinks were average.

As a woman, this was a cool dive bar to exist in without attention. All patrons sat in peace on their phones. Decor is a mixture of Packers // 49ers gear... guessing this is a fun place to visit for a game!

The place was loud and lively - great ambiance for watching a sports game or a casual night out. Menu had typical Americana and good came out in a reasonable amount of time - overall, solid food and drinks. The sandwich I got was a bit expensive and the salad was nothing special, but otherwise it was a nice experience. I wouldn't be roaring to come back, but I enjoyed the meal and it was nice to connect with friends.

It saddens me to have to leave a bad review, since I frequent this place quite often... but the…read morequality of their to-go orders has gotten so bad. In-house we haven't had much issue, but I don't know what's going on with door dash/delivery orders. Almost every time, there's an issue. My littles absolutely love the mini corn dogs, and even though the listing says "with fries" they've suddenly stopped delivering with fries for the past few months ( and don't allow customer notes.) It's also a 50/50 chance the mini corn dogs will be dark and hard... I have a sensitive stomach with dietary restrictions, so I find great comfort that I can get the seared ahi tuna tacos while my husband enjoys a hamburger... but the last few orders have been so wrong. Once I was missing avocado, next I was missing the sauce, and this time my tuna was completely raw, not seared with hard jasmine rice and very tiny avocado slices. I always put input in to DoorDash, but I don't think it's getting to the restaurant... and it's reached a point where I feel like I have to leave this review and maybe find a new go to for quick family dinners. I enjoy visiting, the staff is always so kind and the kids like the back patio. Perfect vibe for a laid back dinner.. but why are the to-go orders so terrible suddenly? Absolutely heartbreaking.

A "full size" versus a long would be double the meat and cheese. The cheese steak is cheesy and meaty with bread, produce and mayo. Good fix for when you want a cheese steak. The only critique is the curly fry order feel a bit small for a portion size. Otherwise, would 100% come back when I want a cheese steak.

I have had better stuff somewhere else and how the price, I would not frequent it. Everything is getting so expensive so we have to be more picky of the places we go eat at. Like some people mentioned, the wait was long for just 2 sandwiches and it was in a not so busy weekday afternoon. I am willing to give it another shot in the future, hoping to get a better experience.

The wings are noticeably bigger than their competitors. The wing itself was juicy. I wish we got more variety as we mainly just got drums. I like flats more, however happy with either or. Lemon pepper was great. It wasn't as sour as I expected and it packed a lot of flavor. The garlic parm was just okay (6/10). It didn't hit you as hard; it was a subtle flavor. The customer service was really nice. They kept the restaurant really clean, and I like that they have a bar area. It invites you to come hang out, even though the location isnt the biggest. Definitely not my last time here; I want to come back and try more flavors and their chicken sandwiches.

Some favorites from the menu - the salmon carpaccio and salmon skin handroll! The quality of fish on the nigiris were good but I felt like the fish-to-rice ratio wasn't the greatest. I really liked the seared salmon and truffle yellowtail nigiris! Shoutout to Alex our server -- he was incredibly knowledgable and provided great recommendations of the menu. We found out that they're able to customize orders (ex. ordering handrolls without rice) so that came in clutch too. He was super proactive and was helping us push out orders quickly without being too pushy about it. The restaurant itself was also very well constructed - tables were wide which makes it perfect for large parties and it felt very clean in general too. Plenty of parking since it's right by the outlets!

We had excellent interactions with her throughout the night and she really helped make our date night experience there a pleasant and memorable one.

A Decent Downtown Spot with Great Salmon but Slow Service…read more We came to Maple Street Eatery, located at the end of the street in charming downtown Livermore, for lunch around 12:30 on a Saturday. It was very busy, and we had to wait approximately 20 minutes to get a table. Once seated, it took our server another 10 minutes just to come over and take our order. They were clearly low on staff, but to their credit, the staff members were definitely friendly despite the rush. The food quality varied quite a bit across our table: The highlight of the meal was the Blackened Atlantic Wild Salmon, which my wife ordered. It was served over Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and roasted seasonal organic vegetables, all topped with a lemon, butter, caper, and white wine sauce. This dish was an absolute 5/5--perfectly executed. I ordered the 14 oz New York Steak with scalloped potatoes and charred organic seasonal vegetables, topped with cowboy butter. I asked for it medium-well and really enjoyed the steak, giving it a solid 4/5. My friend ordered Mama's Crispy Tacos (two chicken and one potato), which came with cotija, lettuce, avocado, crema, and pico de gallo, served alongside a spicy green salsa and pinto bean smash. They rated this a good 4/5. On the flip side, my friend also tried the Grilled Baja Prawn Tacos. Served on flour tortillas over a bed of mixed greens with pineapple salsa and chipotle sauce, this dish really lacked flavor and was a disappointing 2/5. We also started with the Seasonal Mixed Greens salad, which came with green apple slices, candied pecans, seasonal berries, and a white balsamic vinaigrette on the side. This was just okay, landing at a 3/5. Overall, Maple Street Eatery is a decent place for brunch or lunch. If the service becomes more efficient and a few of the food items are improved to match the quality of the salmon and steak, we would definitely make this a regular spot to visit.

The ambiance is cute with a small closed off glass area of wine and two seater table inside! Our waitress Dominique was amazing. She was able to give great recommendations for wines and food. She also made us feel taken cared of and was friendly/warm. The food is a mix of mexican/euro/american so there were a lot of different options. Here are the things we got: Appetizers - Parm crusted cauliflower: so good, nice and crunchy but not too heavily breaded. The chipotle mayo was delish - Chicharrones: so light and crispy! They were hot out of the fryer. It had a side of a corn cheese dip that was so good and made it more unique of a dish -- must try if you even kind of eat chicharrones. I don't generally like pork skin but I enjoyed it regardless. - Hamachi ceviche: this is a large sharing portion with chunks of hamachi and avocado. Good but not a must have. Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful. Because we were celebrating a birthday, Dominique made a dessert with a nice special touch. Will definitely be back again!

Unfortunately, the food experience didn't live up to the service. Charging extra for chips and salsa at what is essentially a Mexican restaurant (even if it's branded as "Southwestern") was disappointing, especially when the salsa portion was so small. Chips and salsa are such a staple that it felt out of place to pay extra for them. The biggest issue, though, was the tortillas. They weren't heated, which made them feel dry and mealy and they fell apart while eating the tacos. The steak itself was flavorful, but the tortillas made it difficult to enjoy what could have been a really good dish. I genuinely hope they make a few adjustments because the people there were fantastic, the drinks were excellent, and this place has a lot of potential.

I recently tried the Korean chicken and it was seriously impressive. The Yangnyum sauce is the star rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced between sweet and savory without being overwhelming It coats the chicken beautifully and keeps every bite exciting. The crispy fried soy glaze chicken was outstanding incredibly crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You can tell it's fried fresh because it stays crisp even after sitting for a bit. Everything tasted clean and well-prepared, and the service was amazing friendly, quick, and very attentive. They made the whole experience comfortable and welcoming. Definitely a place I'd come back to when craving really good Korean fried chicken. read more

Terrible service. Very long wait time; while others in line behind us, received their food before us. Chicken was so small and tasteless, and not at all worth the $16 price tag for 3 child sized drumsticks. We will not be going back here. read more
