The food tasted good, so I placed an order and picked it up to try it again in two days.The staff are really unfriendly... The cashier and kitchen staff say something in their own language and it's very unpleasant.Can I trust and eat the food made by those people?

Taste wise...giod. But Chicken was oily and not super crispy as korean chicken should be. Waay too expensive.

Vons chicken in Hawaii Kai is so convenient and it was easy to place a phone order and pickup. We ended up getting a half order of seasoned fried chicken. It was the right amount for two. I just wish they'd throw in some radish pickles. We totally forgot to order because at other Korean fried chicken places the pickled radish is standard. Seasoned fried chicken (spicy) is a solid 4/5. It was hot, had light crispy breading, and spicy sauce. The chicken was definitely fried to order and still hot by the time we started to eat. I'm glad we got the spicy because it was spot on. We were sweating slightly and the burn was just right. For the price ($19.88) I thought a half order was a decent deal and my fried chicken craving was satisfied. Service was efficient and friendly. I love that Vons is no frills and getting my chicken was no hassle. Do yourself a favor and call in your order as it can take 15-20 minutes to fry the chicken. I'm sure we'll be back. While there is ample parking the spaces close to Vons was sparse. No biggie, and at least it's free.

Went to Von's today....ordered the crispy honey chicken.....always yummy. It was nice to see that they now offer boneless.....must try next time.

We ordered the spicy Vons chicken from Hawaii Kai and they are delicious with a crispy outside and moist in the middle. The sauce was well balanced and spicy. Having recently returned from Seoul, the Vons Hawaii Kai fried chicken are just as good.

Yummy chicken wings!! Nice variety. I particularly liked individual complete chicken plate...teriyaki is my fav! It's pricey but tasty. The service was adequate and no ambiance. You can watch the Korean soap opera as you wait!!!

Chicken Wings are excellent, adding 10% tip is not! Picked up two orders to go and shame on me for not reading receipt but I did not add tip, so I was either scammed or it's automatic.

I’m only complaint was prices in review/ photos are lower than when you get there. Made a phone order only to find out it was $7 more when I arrived .

Food was amazing, atmosphere was amazing. The people were amazing. It was just phenomenal. I love Vons for years. This is my first time coming to this location and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend some of the best fried chicken on the island.

I hadn't eaten KFC in a long time after having mediocre experiences at OG KFC chains like bb.q and Pelicana. Even though KFC batter is lighter than American fried chicken batter, there was always too much of it. I had low expectations when we decided to try Vons; We got a half order of honey butter wings and spicy rice cakes. The chicken truly HIT after snorkeling for two hours at Hanauma Bay. No notes. It's probably the best KFC I've had in a long time--hot, sweet and savory, and with the perfect batter to chicken ratio. As for the rice cakes, they were pretty skimpy for being so pricy. I think they were 6-7 dollars--there were 8 pieces of rice cake at most. Service here was a little slower despite the fact we came during an off hour (I think it was around 2 PM) and were one of two parties seated in the restaurant, but the wait was definitely worth it.

Coming back for more chicken on my return visit to Hawaii! The food is just as good as I remembered it. I don't really care for saucy chicken, so my go to is the crispy fried chicken. So so crispy. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. Finding seating wasn't difficult. The store is also very clean and air conditioned so it's a great place to grab lunch and cool down. Ample parking since it's the Safeway parking lot
