The real KFC Korean Fried Chicken… it was so good hot fresh and the thin crispy fries a great accompaniment. Awesome service as well.

Delicious, hot, fresh, crispy chicken wings. We tried the honey butter, and it has a sweet powder like the korean flavored almonds. I'm glad it wasn't actual sticky honey.

I got take out half order crispy and half order mild bbq, tteokbokki and radish. Both types of wings were good. Tteokbokki was good as well. There was no radish dish that I paid for. Service was very kind! Parking isn't bad if you pick up at lunchtime. Cost was over the top as expected. It's good! Don't know whether I absolutely need to return. More power to them though. If you're ever in Tahoe, you MUST stop at Wing's Korean Chicken in Incline Village. Their chicken is delicious and large. Best Korean chicken in US so far. You get the gloves too.

Love this location, the food is always so fresh and the restaurant is clean. I’ve been to a majority of all the other Vons and this one is by far the best! I got the spicy seasoned wings because it’s always my go to.

I was excited to try the famous Von's Chicken. And, it's okay. I'm not impressed with staff who spend the same amount of time on their phones as with the customers. Service was slow, and it was done to a bare minimum. Food took a while also. Stood around for just over 15 minutes for my lunch order. Rice, chicken, and salad. Meh.I will say nothing was bad, but it wasn't good either.

I was feeling a bit peckish (bad pun intended). Would Von's make me cluck contentedly or make me bock unhappily? If you saw the 5 star rating, then you'd know this chick was happy afterwards. (I promise that is the last chicken wordplay.) The mandoo had crispy edges, but they weren't burnt, making for a nice contrast between the soft filling / most of the wrapper and the crunchiness of the edges. They disappeared in a flash. I recently had fast-food chicken for the first time in about two years. Interestingly, while I liked it, it was not as good as I remember it. (The diet I've been on altered my taste buds.) The fried wings from Von's had the flavor that was missing from the recent fast-food chicken place order. I could have gone to town on those, but I wanted to try the "snow" wings (cheese and onion). They were good, but the flavor was subtle. Too subtle for me. I couldn't detect the onion at all and desired much more of a cheesy flavor. But I'd order them again, for certain. Despite Grubhub's poor service ( I don't typically use them for a variety of reasons, but I had a gift card), the wings were still crispy despite the delivery delay. The boxes the were in were left partially open so they wouldn't steam their way to soggyness during the journey. The wings were fried properly so that they were done but not overcooked.

Not kidding. I went to Von's Chicken on Halekauila street in downtown Honolulu to pick up my order and had to wait 15 minutes after being told it was ready to pick up... finally this Korean guy opens the kitchen door and I see him spraying cockroach poison on cockroaches running all over the counters with food on them. I said, "Sir, excuse me, but you're spraying poison next to the food on the counters. He said "No I did not". I said I saw you doing it!" He slapped the food plate down on the counter and said take it. Such a rude guy. So I said no, I'm afraid to eat it. He thanes shouted "Take it and get out!" This is a TERRIBLE place!!!

The food was cold and the wrong order. The manager was extremely rude and told me "Take it now!" He wouldn't correct the order nor would he heat up the chicken. He started screaming at us "Get out!" which really frightened us. DO NOT GO TO EAT HERE... PLEASE! The Chinese owner is a maniac!
This chicken is SO good! It's crispy and flavorful. I love the honey butter chicken the most. The owners are seer people who are very appreciative of your support. They remember me every time I go in! I love coming here!

YES THIS PLACE IS A MUST!!! 10/10 for the honey butter chicken wings!! The service is ALWAYS super friendly. And the place is super cute and always smelling super good! My experience with this place has always been 100/10 :)

I told my sister I wanted chicken and rice when she picked us up from the airport. She did not disappoint! Amazing! Everything was so fresh and really good. The food looked amazing. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was friendly. I asked to come back again before we leave. YUM!

I was ono for fried chicken and yelped for some suggestions. I wanted to avoid the regular corporate fried chicken brands. I was in town so I tried this Von's. Being a downtown location, it was slow on a Sunday afternoon. The owner was welcoming as I placed my order. I got plain chicken with the garlic and spicy sauces, mild rice cakes and honey butter fries. I was so excited to take my order home and dig in. They did not disappoint, everything was so yummy! The honey butter fries were addictive! My mom just told me that she can't get the thought of the delicious chicken out of her head! She never makes comments like that! It was totally worth the stop to give them a try.

First time customer. Decided to try the mild Korean BBQ wings and Shoyu wings and mondoo. Wait time 20 mins. Picked up food and order was waiting. Brought home food. Chicken wing flats were nice and plump, crispy and good size. I liked both flavors equally. The drummettes were a little dry. Skip the mondoo. Meh. Small, not much flavor, no sauce given, which it needed. I may return as a customer if I'm in the area but won't go out of my way. A little pricey but everything is these days.
