    padak, yangyeom half combo
    Suzane C.

    Chicken came out fast and was very good! The outside was very crunchy and the sauce on the chicken itself was flavorful. The spicy yangeom packs a punch for sure. The pickles were sweet and crunchy as well! Service was pleasant and interior was clean. Would come back again and try their other flavors.

    Crispy Yangnyeom Chicken

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You need to run & give this restaurant a try, it's so delicious! As soon as you walk in, you're hit with yummy aromas of what's being cooked. It's a small spot, kept clean, service is fast, & food comes out piping hot. Also, the servers are very attentive & accommodating. 10/10 - Crispy Fried Chicken (all bone-in wings/mild): the outside is very crispy, meat is juicy & tender, & the garlic soy flavor is dynamite. 10/10 - Garlic Edamame: these are finger licking good! The garlic chili mixture looks spicy, but it's not spicy at all. It packs such a great flavor & makes the edamame addicting. 10/10 - Kimchi: if you like kimchi, this one is a must order. The fermentation has a good balance of sourness & tanginess. 9/10 - Cheddar Fries: these are solid fries, they're crispy & yummy; since the cheddar powder is packed right on top, it did get a bit messy. 7/10 - Laver Roll: the seaweed wrapper is crunchy & the noodles inside have a great chew, but the flavor is meh as it lacks seasoning.

    Delicious! (even for a fried chicken joint)

    I did a DoorDash pickup for some Curry Chicken and I was pleasantly surprised. The curry was herbaceously robust with flavor and creaminess. The broth had mild aftertaste, which I did prefer. The chef served my to-go order in earlier than expected and my entire meal was piping hot! There was some seating for both indoor and outdoor guests for a combined 10-12 people. The restaurant was rather small. I'd definitely order their curry again and toss some fried wings in there!

    D. 1/2 Crispy Fried Chicken with Honey Butter
    D L.

    Bawmmmbbb I ordered 5 honey butter drumsticks. They honey butter flavor is powder, which I don't mind at all but would be cool if they had a sauce version. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the batter was crunchy and flakey. Though deep fried, it tasted surprisingly light and clean - not greasy! We really loved the honey butter chicken, and staff is great as well. 100% better than Bonchon!

    My girlfriend and I grabbed dinner the other night and it was her first time trying Von's and my first time to this location. It's much smaller than the folsom location, there's about 8 tables down a narrow space. The size and atmosphere reminded me of the chicken restaurants in kdramas. Lol Service was quick and everything was delicious. We started with edamame, gyoza and a side of pickled radish. I tried the crispy fried chicken with honey butter for the first time and it was unique. The flavor reminded me of kettle corn. Hahaha, I know it sounds weird but it was actually very tasty! The Yangnyum will always be my favorite though - crunchy crust and nice and spicy sauce. I will say, this location has more on their menu than the folsom location but they do not offer happy hour like the folsom location. They also got pretty busy during dinner time on a Wednesday, which isn't super ideal for a small restaurant. I loved the homey vide and the chicken was bomb!

    Appetizers: Pickled Radish, Edamame, Deep fried Gyoza(4pcs)
    Susan M.

    So thankful to my friend for introducing me to Vons! The food came out fast and the staff were very attentive and friendly! We started off with edamame, pickled radish and the fried gyoza as an appetizer. The gyoza was very crispy! Wish I had more of those! It was my first time trying Soju and loved it! Served chilled with cute little shot glasses! After narrowing down and finally deciding on what chicken to order, we decided on the half combo of Spicy Yangnyeom and half combo of Crispy Honey Butter. The Yangnyeom was very spicy and the perfect amount of sauce! I like that they give you the option of controlling the spice level. The Honey Butter was delicious! If you enjoy salty and sweet fusions, you will love it! So crispy! Overall loved this place! I will definitely be going back! It's the kind of food that leaves you with a craving for it!

    Vons Chicken opened a couple of years ago. They didn't do much to the dining room. It looks almost the same as before when this is Ramen and More. The dining room looks dated but comfortable and clean. They're famous for chicken. But my mood wanted the Bulgogi beef. So, I ordered the Bulgogi Rice Plate. It is ready in five minutes. It is delicious. The meat tastes excellent and juicy. I love it! I'll try their chicken one of the day. But I love their bulgogi beef very much now.

    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.

    When I think about getting fried chicken, this spot is definitely on the list. After eating here a few times, I would definitely recommend the fried chicken as all the flavors are a hit depending on your mood. I usually get wings and drums, but the half or full chicken option is a good choice as well. The garlic soy glaze is light and doesn't overpower the chicken, and it is still crunchy. The yangnyeom is a Korean style sauce, and the chicken is drenched in it. This can be spicy, so choose your level wisely. The ramen here is also popular. Everyone in the place was getting ramen, and the place was packed on a Friday night for dinner. I could do a bowl of ramen as an appetizer and some fried chicken as the main event, so you get the best of both worlds. I would definitely recommend the fried chicken to anyone looking for a new spot.

The broth is flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The white tonkotsu is also very good if you're in the mood for something richer and creamier. Definitely don't skip the geso either! It's delicious and one of our favorite things to order alongside the ramen. Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for noodles, they have an excellent Tonkatsu Donburi. Ryujin can get pretty crowded around dinner, especially on colder nights when everyone seems to have the same idea, so I'd recommend planning accordingly and being prepared for a possible wait. It's worth it, though! Great ramen, authentic flavors, and a spot we're always happy to come back to.

This had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was light and refreshing and balanced the rest of the flavors of the meal. I started with the seaweed salad. It was a solid seaweed salad. Good seasoning and texture. It was a good portion size as well. Melissa and Jonathan had the gyoza. They were stuffed full of meat, but I felt like the seasoning was a little less than and also they were unevenly cooked. I still tried one though because a gyoza is a gyoza. As my main, I had the karamiso ramen with a spicy miso based broth with seasoned ground chicken, veggies and chili threads for an extra kick. I enjoyed this bowl of ramen. It was the perfect level of spice. I am partial to ground meat in ramen, so I liked that this was an option. The veggies were cooked al dente which I appreciated, and the broth was filling and flavorful. The noodles were thin which is my favorite type. Attentive service here. OUr water cups were always filled no matter how hot the ramen was. Solid meal here.

I got the black ramen garlic which came with the usual toppings: roasted pork chashu , corn, green onions, bean sprouts, soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and actual fried garlic. The whole garlic cloves were plentiful and so much flavor. The description says fried, but they are so buttery soft, they taste more like they've been roasted or baked in the oven. I will 100/100 always order this ramen. Very flavorful broth. My husband got the chicken ramen, which I tasted, and it too had a flavorful broth. You choose your spicy level. I got medium which was basically mild. The portion and price make this a great deal for a quick dinner in Midtown. I love the late hours and the speed of which our food came out. We ordered the geso (fried squid) and the veggie tempura. I do not recommend the tempura. The batter was thick like carnival onion rings. They need to use panko for breading. The geso was ok, and served with an aioli sauce. Stick with the ramen. No need to waste stomach space on their appetizers. The right half of the restaurant is for Ramen 101, and the other side is for Orchid Thai. You order at the counter and get a number, find a seat. The servers came around and checked on us and helped us with any requests. The nice ambiance from the Thai side carried over to the Ramen side, but both casual.

I walked inside having no idea that it was going to be a top quality experience. The restaurant was huge and it was packed at 5 PM. We couldn't get a table so we sat at the sushi bar, and there was plenty of room there. Plus watching all of the chefs put together the Omakase offerings was really cool. We opted for the Japanese cauliflower curried soup, the black cod special, the king Roll, the watermelon and mint salad and the shrimp and corn dumpling. Every single dish was FIRE!!! The flavors were delicate and nuanced and perfectly balanced. Even the frisée lettuce on the watermelon and mint salad was a flavor explosion. We found ourselves drinking the sauce out of the bowl from the shrimp and corn dumpling. The croutons in the curried cauliflower soup were crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. The black cod was the texture of a scallop and the squash purée set it off just right. The king Roll was a marvel to see and absolutely a delight to eat. I loved that little hint of lemon that accented the crab and lobster flavors. 1000% recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys really damn good food. Craziest part of the meal was the cost, it was incredibly reasonably priced, not overpriced, like most restaurants of this caliber. We will definitely be back.
