I really love their fried crispy chicken and yangneum chicken with its thin batter. Crispy but juicy inside. Even my 8 years old picky eater boy kept saying that it was so good. Childen can enjoy when you choose mild for the spicy level. I recently visited twice, one dine-in and one take out. Of course it tastes more fresh and better at the restaurant, but I was surprised that it wasn’t soggy at all but still cripsy and hot after 20minutes drive. Service was good with prompt and kind staffs. I recommend cheese ball for dessert. It’s a little sweet and chewy covered with crispy mochi and cheese fillings. I will definitely come again for next time.

They have new items that the other vons don't have. I tried the boneless wings side,4 pieces. Devoured 2 of them already. Different cut of chicken, maybe breast. Lightly battered with light seasoning. Try this place instead of the other Von's. And shoutout to the cashier lady Maiya for being helpful with the ordering.

They got their consistently great heavily battered fried chicken (consistent across all chain locations I tried). Place is cozy and not too busy. Unfortunately they don’t have the fancy Korean instant noodle machines like the store in Sunnyvale but they got banger rice dishes.

I placed a large order of 8 chickens in total — a mix of fried and Yangnyum Chicken — and everything was prepared exactly on time for pickup. The fried chicken was crispy and exceptionally tasty, even better than what I have experienced at other Vons locations. The Yangnyum Chicken had the signature sweet Korean flavor and was absolutely delicious. Under the new ownership, the food quality seems to have improved even further. From now on, this will be the only place I buy chicken. Without a doubt, the best chicken spot in the Bay Area.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean fried chicken, this place is a must. The chicken is always fresh — perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. The restaurant is clean, and the staff are warm and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They really care about the customer experience. Parking is also plentiful and convenient right in front, which makes visiting hassle-free. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

The service and ordering process were very smooth and hassle-free, which made the experience even better. I really enjoy Korean chicken, and this place does an excellent job of capturing the authentic flavor that reminds me of home. My son absolutely loved the fried chicken — it was crispy, flavorful, and he couldn’t stop eating it. This is truly a family-friendly spot where both adults and kids can enjoy a great meal together. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the best Korean

Amazing fried and oven baked chicken! Under a new ownership this place is unlike any other Vons or Korean fried chicken franchise. Food was delicious, clean and welcoming atmosphere, and friendly and helpful service team made my day. This place is my new favorite restaurant in the area, definitely my go-to place for an appetite for chicken!

This place serves Korean-style fried chicken, and it’s seriously delicious. The coating is crispy, the meat is juicy, and everything tastes so fresh. Honestly, it’s the best Korean-style chicken I’ve had in the Bay Area. Perfect with beer or just on its own.

It's a small restaurant maybe 4-5 tables. Mostly designed for take out. The server was super nice and attentive. I came at 3pm on weekday and it's their new location on Saratoga in W San Jose It's my first time trying Vons He let me sample the original soy garlic Padak and Korean spicy red sauce and garlic I chose small half original soy(#1) and half padak

Great service, prompt cooking, spacious place. Lunch specials was AMAZING but it lacked one thing that all fried chicken places gives me; some sort of kimchi to digest the oil 😬😅But chicken & fries were great!!!

The drums are very crispy with inside moist and tender. The flavor for garlic is too light. The honey butter tastes like sugar powder. The pickled radish goes very well with fried chicken.

Am I the only person who finds it strange that they identify "drums" as "wings?" I purchased the lunch special and $2 upgraded to "wings" and I received 3 drums and 2 wings, only for the store to double down and say that the drums are part of the whole wing so it's considered a "wing?" Someone fix this ludicrous menu term!! I still don't understand the upgrade and what exactly am I getting for the upgrade?
