5/5 Crispy Chicken is actually quite crispy on outside and the meat was tender inside, not dry. There was some type of seasoning that made it a little spicy and it was really enjoyable. I see why this is a top recommendation! 3/5 Yangnyeom Chicken was really saucy and the flavor was slightly tangy, sweet, and mildly spicy. Chicken texture was also pleasant but felt the flavors were overly saucy. Picked daikon was refreshing and crunchy. The coleslaw side also had too much sauce/liquid. I appreciated how they had gloves in case you wanted to eat with your hands. Super filling portions if you get a combo read more

Not bad Came here for some KFC and it wasn't bad. The padak chicken was probably my fav. Came out hot and juicy and topped with lots of scallions with a tangy dressing (that had a hint of horseradish). The yangnyum chicken was too saucy for me and the sauce was rather thicken. We also tried their new chicken ssam which was solid. Juicy grilled chicken with lots of fresh veggies on the side. Overall, a solid experience. PSA: Apparently you get 15% off if it is your birthday but only if you make a reservation. We asked if they could offer it to us despite not making a reservation (we didn't know about it beforehand) but no dice. Oh wells, now we know. read more

Chicken is good, especially yangyum chicken. I would eat it there if possible because it does get soggy by the time you take it home. DO NOT get the kimchi fried rice. It has no flavor but also jalapeños and bell peppers which gives it a very strange taste. The kimchi is not fermented enough to make fried rice and thus has no flavor. read more

Had lunch at Von's Chicken in Sunnyvale and went with the lunch special. Ordered 5 wings of Yangyum spicy and 5 wings of real garlic with green onions on top, both crispy fried, along with a pink lemonade The Yangyum wings had a bold, spicy flavor that built nicely without being overwhelming. The real garlic wings were savory with a fresh punch from the green onions, and the crispiness held up well. The pink lemonade was refreshing and paired perfectly with the wings Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant had a casual, lively vibe. Great spot if you want flavorful fried chicken that feels made to order. Highly recommend. read more

Original crispy fried chicken is 10/10. Juicy chicken, great fried batter, and perfectly seasoned. The spicy flavor was a little too spicy for my liking, but it's good as a secondary flavor. I'll probably try another flavor next time though cuz it's too spicy to enjoy a whole batch of it. read more

Vons is definitely in the top rankings for one of my favorite places for fried chicken!! Service is usually fast considering they're always busy and your food is made to order! If you enjoy the sweet and savory combo, then you will love their HONEY BUTTER wings. Expert tip: ORDER ALL FLATS If you really love honey butter, order the honey butter cheese ball and make sure to eat it right away, as it's the best when hot! I love that you can get fries, rice and/or salad along with your wings. They also always provide fresh radish and cole slaw salad to balance out the richness of their chicken flavors. I will say that the seating is a little small along wall, so the restaurant can get packed fast. We don't mind ordering takeout because the food is still super fresh! read more

A good spot for Korean fried chicken if you're in the area. Service is pretty quick. Ambiance is okay, it's a little empty when I went. The chicken is on the sweeter side for my taste but I enjoyed the crispiness. They also provide gloves which is a plus. read more

This was our favorite and go-to Koren fired chicken place during covid. We ordered delivery from them yesterday evening and it was so bad. We ordered crispy real garlic and crunch fried chicken- half order boneless for both. It was super disappointing. The crispy real garlic had the garlic sauce as a side so you have to do it yourself. The chicken itself felt over fried and dried out. The crunch fried chicken was less overdone. Both was tasteless. I didn't even like the garlic sauce but had to use it because the chicken was so tasteless - the chicken itself isn't even marinated. We went out after for movie in the park and we all felt like we wanted to throw up. We won't be returning which is sad as this was our favorite place. read more

Von's Sunnyvale is hands down the best Korean fried chicken in the Bay Area. The Sunnyvale location is the best. I get the Von's special sauce boneless chicken. If I want an extra treat I get the Honey butter cheese chicken. If you want less sauce you can also get the oven baked chicken with the special Von's sauce on the side. Even the mild Von's sauce is very tasty but can also get spicy. Lately there's been more parking in front of the restaurant. The daikon radish and Cole slaw sides are included and they r very good! I've had my birthday here a few years ago and they have 15% off. It's a very fun place with nice vibe and very delicious chicken. I always take some chicken home because it is large portions. read more

First time having Vons dine-in. Two of us ordered: -honey half boneless 10pcs $18.99 -crispy garlic drums (3), boneless (4) crispy medium $18.99 -honey butter cheese balls $9.99 Staff was friendly. Food takes awhile to come out, but comes out hot! It was a bit annoying that you can't split flavors for a half order...so not really meant for a small group who wants to try different flavors. Definitely over-ordered for two of us. Crispy garlic was a bit too saucey...but the chicken itself was good. Parking is available in the plaza. Ask for gloves if you want to avoid sticky fingers! Didn't realize until I saw another table ask for it. read more

The prices have gone up a bit but they have the next fried chicken wings in town. We stopped in for their $13.99 weekday lunch special. Everything was so so good. I ordered 5 honey butter fried chicken wings with a beer and a salad. The wings were really crispy. Love the honey butter fried chicken. I got a salad for $1. It was a generous portion with the house dressing. So so satisfied. Beer was only $3.99. Hubby got the cheddar chicken wings with a generous portion of kimchee fried rice for $1. Very satisfying lunch and we have 4 wings left for dinner with some kimchee fried rice. read more

Solid fried chicken spot with some great flavor options. I really enjoy the honey butter and garlic; both are packed with flavor and hit the spot every time. The chicken is crispy, juicy, and always cooked well. The mandoo are also surprisingly good; crispy on the outside and full of flavor on the inside. It's a great place for takeout, especially when you're in the mood for something quick, comforting, and satisfying. Service is usually efficient, and the food holds up well even after a short drive. read more

The chicken was lowkey dry but the yangnyeom chicken was saucy enough to make up for it. The saucy sauce was weak (but i have a strong spice level). The green onion one has like a wasabi taste so its not my flavor. Go try it and lemme know. read more

Summary: Huge pieces of juicy boneless chicken coupled with friendly service warrants a repeat dine-in visit. I have to say, I prefer this place over well-known korean chain, bbq chicken. The chicken was freshly fried and crispy on the outside while piping hot and juicy on the inside. I prefer ordering boneless, so I can't say much about the bone-in options. The yangnyeom sauce was pretty standard and does pack some spice if you order at least medium heat. The soy garlic flavor was mild, which was a positive to me as it served as a nice counter to the spice of the yangnyeom and an extra crispy bite as it is not saucy. I appreciate getting a nice amount of radish and coleslaw as included sides, although the coleslaw could use less mayo. read more

While craving Korean fried chicken, I recently stopped by Von's for lunch. Their fried chicken had always been on point, being perfectly cooked to be both juicy and crispy at the same time. I ordered both the crunchy and crispy chicken as well as an order of rose tteokbokki. While both orders of chicken came out piping hot, I did notice a change with the crunchy chicken batter. I did notice that the normally light, airy, and flavorful chicken recipe had changed. The crust is now much denser and lacking in seasoning. I'm a bit disappointed with the change and next time, I'll stick with the soy crispy chicken instead. The tteokbokki was also not very tasty this time. The fish cake was mushy, instead of chewy/bouncy, while the sausage was dry and overcooked. The rose sauce was nothing to write home about. I really appreciated the friendly service and value of the meal; however, today's meal definitely fell short. On the plus side, it looks like they offer a lunch special with an order of fried chicken and fries for just $13.99 from Tuesday to Friday. Pros: Fast, friendly service. Good value for the amount of food I received. The drumsticks were absolutely massive. Cons: Crunchy chicken recipe has changed and it's way too dense and lacking in seasoning. read more

I went for a late lunch and they provide table service. I also order takeout on occasion and it's always been consistent. Food came out fairly quick and overall was clean. Pretty cool that they provide gloves, but I ended up using my fork for most of the meal. The service here is fairly quick and attentive. The chicken is super crispy and a decent size. I love the honey butter seasoning and it's usually my go-to flavor of choice. It's best eaten fresh since the seasoning melts away (kind of) when reheated. read more

I used to be OBSESSED (and maybe still am) with the Honey Butter seasoning here! So delicious. If you love a sweet and savory combination, this is my go-to. Definitely an acquired taste though. Get this on the wings, boneless, or the fries! :) You can never go wrong with the Soy Garlic as well. Crispy and packed with flavor. Not too salty either! I love to pair this with the Rosé Dukbokki too. The best creamy sauce with rice cakes! A little pricey, but it definitely gets you full. FYI: Sorry vegeterians! No options for you besides maybe some fries or onion rings... read more

First time trying this location, 2nd time trying Vons. I'm a soy-garlic type of a girl but this time decided to put my faith into trying their yangnyeom and honey butter powder. If you just want plain ol' fried chicken, I wouldn't necessarily recommend Vons. The chicken is a little dry compared to Jollibee. The yangnyeom is standard to me, no amazing standouts but definitely makes KFC, KFC. The honey butter was interesting but I grew to like it, it was kind of a sweeter profile to the fried chicken, but since it's a powder- it didn't help that the chicken wasn't the juiciest. HOWEVER, with leftovers and a handy-dandy air fryer, the honey butter melted and developed a beautiful crust onto the chicken. The cheese balls weren't like mozzarella sticks type of cheese, it was chewy and paired with ketchup. I liked having a difference in textures while eating, but not needed. Chicken comes with pickled radish which I always love and a super mayo-y sweet coleslaw to help refresh the palate. Wished there was more coleslaw though! Service was great, I mean we were the only ones in there at 8pm but they provide gloves and water for you. No awkward waiting around for a server. Restroom is clean and restaurant is well kept! read more

Legit Korean fried chicken place! I always saw this place pop up on my food delivery apps but never ordered because the name didn't lend itself to being Korean fried chicken. But we decided to come here after searching on Yelp and I'm so glad we did. The DDukbokki was alright, not spectacular but if you're craving, it'll hit the spot. The star of the show is the crispy fried chicken. It has a garlic soy glaze that is amazing. When you order, the wings come with drums! If you order drums they are extra large and purely just drums. I love wings so I got yangyum wings. It was alright, the taste profile is just not my cup of tea. The next time we come back I'll try some other flavors. Overall, wonderfully juicy flavorful wings and they give you gloves so your hands don't get dirty as well! read more

1082 E El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (El Camino East Center) (5:15pm, Wednesday, rainy, cool temps) The other day my job had me in Sunnyvale, and I spotted this Vons Chicken place in a small shopping center. I decided to go in and try their chicken. The young man asked me to look at the menu, then he would punch in my order. I ordered: 1 Half Order of Crispy Drums, Medium Heat, 5 pcs. (Price $17.99 + Tax= $19.63) My order took about 10-mins to prepare. There were 4-5 people in the dining room. The menu said 5 pieces, but I received 6 meaty drumsticks. No complaints there. Wow, the fried chicken must of been fresh out of the oil with no cooling time on a rack. Temperature wise, it was TOO HOT to pickup and eat. That chicken was lightly crispy, a nice soy garlicky taste, and had a slightly numbing medium spice level. Just right for me. I like the fried chicken, but would like to try the oven roast next time. read more

Been coming here for years. This is the original Vons Chicken that started the craze in the Bay Area. Service is always friendly and I drive farther because I like the people who run it so much. It's always clean, they're always fast and the chicken is better here than any other Vons for some reason. I've been to Fremont, Santa Clara and Milpitas (when it was open). But for some Godly reason, trust me when I say this, the chicken here is better! read more

Von's chicken is amazing. Crispy & spicy. Love this place. I came with daughter she got the yangyum, i got the garlic. both were amazing...i also got some spicy sauce on the side. straight fire. service was great, the cashier was very nice and courteous.

Vons excels at what they do, delivering the highest quality chicken and providing the most incredible service possible. Reached out to the restaurant over the phone to ask if I could host a gathering here to celebrate my birthday and it was the best decision of my life. If you ever meet Alex, you must know that he is one of the kindest, most patient, and respectful people I've worked with ever. I asked him if I could bring in a group that would max capacity the restaurant, and after he spoke with his management, we were able to book the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. He answered all my questions and for someone who struggles with forgetting things and dreading a socially awkward moment, he never once made it a bad experience. From when I first walked in to when I left, they provided as many accommodations as possible, helping rearrange tables if needed, or providing a knife to cut the cake and even utensils and plates to serve the cake, or giving us take out boxes for the leftovers. Throughout the evening they kept asking if everything was okay. They even provided a complementary bottle of wine to go with our meal. When we ran out of food, we were able to just order more! You literally could not have asked for more to run a birthday dinner Now on to the restaurant/food: It's very spacious inside. One thing I love about this place is the seating compared to other Vons. The chicken here is amazing quality. Personally, I would stick to the fried options and I'd choose the wings/drummettes over their drums because you just get more! My favorite flavors are the garlic, honey butter and regular crispy. They just hit the spot perfectly for me. The Yangnyeum is also fantastic but it gets a little too saucy for me! Their sides are phenomenal, their fries are perfectly crisp and hot. Their japchae provides a lighter taste and balances against the fried chicken, and their kimchi fried rice is on point. Alex and his staff were the stars and I couldn't have asked for a better group to help me make my birthday such an amazing experience. read more

And really made it such a nice meal. We decided to dine in since we live nearby and it was emptyyy which we loved lol. We got the crispy hot chicken which was, delicious, not too hot and as in the name super crispy. The kimchi fried rice was okay nothing crazy, would always love more cabbage but it was enjoyable.

If I'm ever craving Korean Fried Chicken this is my go to. I've tried multiple korean fried chicken places in the area and they're good, but no place beats the crispy fry on vons chicken. The pieces are always huge, the glaze is light so the chicken isn't soggy, and the fry is always gorgeoussssss!!! I always get spicy, but I think it can definitely be pretty spicy for those that don't love the heat. The mild is still just as good and usually I order a full crispy fried chicken, half hot and half mild. Always a crowd pleaser! It comes with the cubed pickled radish which is always fresh and compliments the chicken so well! Haven't eaten in the restaurant for awhile, but ordering online is easy and it's always pretty fast pick up time! read more

This review is just for customer service. Today on 9/13 at noon when I pick up my order, I was waiting at cashier table first in line. A Korean looking guy came in after me and he went straight to the pick up table . When cashier came to help, she helped him first. I told cashier I came in first.

Ordered honey butter chicken, yangyum and ssalm... our favs! This time I thought we'd try the med hot yangyum instead of mild... if you can't quite tolerate spicy, this is a challenge haha but it's good & can only eat one. Can't imagine ordering/eating the spicy! They have a special going on for ordering drums which is cool bc we were able to order full sizes and have lots of leftover for next meal.
