Great place to checkout for so crispy chicken. The food was great and they also sell a good variety of snacks to satisfy that sweet tooth.

I got garlic flavor which wasn't my favorite but the chicken was cooked pretty tenderly. I came in a bit before closing and they were very nice

Super delicious Korean fried chicken! The drumsticks are huge and crispy:) definitely will be coming back.

Honestly I've been to other Vons chickens and for some reason it's not as good as this location. This location is clean, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and efficient. My favorite is the honey butter and soy garlic medium, 10/10 would recommend!

Vons Chicken Isla Vista is a decent chain for groups on a budget (<10$ per person if you are sharing). There are plenty of seats both indoors and outside and food comes out in about 10-15 minutes.We ordered a full order with half "Honey Butter" and half "Soy Garlic". The "Honey Butter" adds a slight sweetness to the chicken. The fry for both chickens were good, but needed a bit more salt.This location doesn't have self-serve water or public restrooms. Service was really friendly. I would come here if I was eating on a budget and craving decent chicken.Parking: There were just a few spots open when we came on a Saturday lunch. There are other parking lots nearby (ex: community center parking)

1000% flavorful fried chicken and all of the flavors are fantastic! K-Town, Honey Garlic, and Palak (Onion) are my favorites. This is a fun place to go with a group and try the different flavors, but they also have specials that are good size meals for one. The order of drumsticks is the most meat for your buck, but the boneless are also a good size. I always get the rice as the side to mix the extra sauce into after eating all the chicken, but they offer fries and slaw, as well. If you want to expand your fried chicken experience, come here!

Updated Review! Wednesdays Special - $5 chicken sandwich. The cashier Jimmy was super insightful on what to order and he was accommodating for all of our needs. He gave us napkins, extra sauce, and got some to-go bags ready for us!! We told him we would be back.It's not a huge place, pretty small but it's cute inside with a lot of wall decor and some seating arrangements. I will say the honey butter fries were too sweet, they literally have powdered sugar which I wasn't a big fan of. I prefer the regular fries next time. Great experience and don't forget they do have a BOGO deal if you sign up with their membership rewards program.

I'm new to this place and has the absolute best crispy chicken ?. Makes an simple honest, clean quick bite. Try this vs KFseaOr churches. Cannot compare.
