I don't understand what's up with the high rating. It tastes like standard supermarket chicken, average in that category. Way below average if you include everything else. Organization is not good. There's this very long counter. You walk up and stand there hoping to be acknowledged, hoping you'll be acknowledged before everyone else who came after you. If I'm acknowledged before someone who was there first, I'll point it out to them. Not everyone would do this so you could stand there forever for some chicken. Their menu is equally unorganized. Some of it over here, some over there, some nowhere.

Omg this is by far the worst chicken I have ever had. It is notttt Korean fried chicken. Whatever the "honey butter" flavor is was absolutely horrendous. The "garlic soy" was bland. Not to mention the kimchi rice was bland too. Nothing was hot when I got it either. I feel sick just thinking about the honey butter seasoning

Great place to eat if you want authentic Korean flavored crispy fried chicken. I can’t recommend enough the Crispy Yang-Nyum (#7), Crispy real Garlic (8) and oven/fried Padak. Their food description is exactly what you get. Fries were well seasoned and enough to feed 4 people. The customer service is fantastic and genuine. They want you to have an amazing eating experience. And that is what I got.
Highly recommend the Crispy Yang Nyum. We had a full order of the mild. Absolutely delicious. It's my favorite flavor. The sauce has some sweetness to it. They have a March deal that gets you 3 free drums of the crispy real garlic with 1 full order. We got to try that and also got to sample the oven padak. The padak has great flavor and is a good option if someone in your party doesn't want to eat fried chicken.

Amazing chicken. Great fries. Highly recommend. Crispy fried is a great start and the sweet and spicy chicken has huge depth of flavor.

Hands down best chicken I've ever had in my life. The meat was fall off the bone, sauce was tingling my mouth. If I lived closer, I'd eat this everyday. Please open more locations. You will have my support.

I usually never write reviews, but this place definitely deserves more five star reviews. My review is only based on the vons special sauce chicken, but it was the best chicken I've ever had in my life. I got mild and it was not really spicy, but the flavor was perfect. If you come here try the vons special sauce chicken, you won't regret it! It is the most flavorful chicken I've had

I tried their chicken for the first time and it was so good. You know it's a legit Korean chicken joint if their "moo" pickled radish is good. And their moo was purple!! They used red cabbage with radish so it was extra good. I tried all the flavors with my family and our favorites were the soy garlic and Crispy Yang-Nyum. Definitely going back!

Pretty good but not great. Kinda dry even with the sauces. But not too greasy. Probably won't go back.
Overly priced in my opinion. The fried garlic chicken was undercooked. Nice staff but I don't think I'll be returning back.

Nestled in the heart of Torrance's South Bay, Vons Chicken is a gem that beckons to lovers of crispy chicken. As I stepped into the eatery, I was greeted by the inviting aroma of fried goodness and the warmth of friendly service. First, let's talk about the stars of the show: the Korean Soy Crispy Fried Chicken and Vons Special Roasted Oven Chicken. Vons Korean Soy Crispy Fried Chicken is coated in a savory soy glaze that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy, with a hint of umami that tantalizes the taste buds. Each piece is meticulously fried to golden perfection, boasting a crispy exterior that gives way to tender, succulent meat. From the moment Vons Special Roasted Oven Chicken arrives at the table, the aroma of roasted goodness tantalizes the senses. The chicken, cooked to perfection in the oven, boasts a tantalizing golden hue that promises a mouthwatering experience. Each piece is tender, a testament to the care and attention to detail that goes into every dish at Vons Chicken. But Vons Chicken isn't just about the poultry; their sides are equally impressive. The Honey-butter Cheddar Fries are golden and crispy and their Homemade Big Pickled Radish is fresh and tangy. Each element complements the main dish, creating a harmony of textures and tastes on the palate. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making the dining experience a pleasure. In conclusion, Vons Chicken is a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of fried chicken perfection. Whether you're a local resident or just passing through, be sure to stop by Vons Chicken for a taste of crispy delight that will leave you coming back for more.

Cute and cozy spot with fantastic customer service, food, and overall loveliness! I happen to mentioned to a friend that I would have ordered another flavor, had I noticed it earlier, and they gave me a sample without even needing to ask. Thank you so much!
One of the best Korean fried chicken joints in the South Bay! The owner(?) was really accommodating and made sure to make us feel welcomed. We got the wing/drum combo with soy garlic which was tasty and not too overwhelmingly sweet like some spots. The restaurant was bright and clean, with K-Pop playing on the TVs. Would return soon.
