    Waited almost 20 minutes for my plate and chicken was not cooked through. I took it back to the…read morecounter and asked her to cook it a bit longer, and I was pointed to a sign that said something about "pinking in poultry" and assured that it was fine to eat, but based on the look of the chicken I was not comfortable eating it at all. I uploaded this picture into chat gpt with the business explanation of the pinking in poultry and according to AI, "Pinking" can happen in cooked poultry -- but what you're showing in the photo does not look like harmless pinking. Here's the difference in plain language: Harmless "pinking" (still fully cooked) * Happens from smoking, high heat, or certain proteins. * The meat is fully opaque, firm, and cooked through. * Only the outer edge or near the bone looks pinkish. What your picture shows * The meat looks translucent, soft, and raw, especially near the joint. * There are dark, bloodlike areas around the bone. * The texture looks undercooked, not just color-changed from chemical reactions. Even with pinking, cooked chicken never looks glossy or raw in the center the way yours does. I decided not to go back to the counter because there was a language barrier and I felt the woman wasn't listening to me in the first place anyway. Threw pretty much all the food away and left hungry and down $20.

    This Vons Chicken is located in Palama's food court on Makaloa. Parking is available for free,…read morethough spots are limited and people tend to drive a little crazy here. I called to place an order for half soy garlic and half spicy (hot) fried chicken. The order was made in just 20 minutes! The female staff that assisted me was kind, but she was on the phone with her friend when she was helping me. I found that a bit interesting, but I'd support this business again nonetheless. The chicken was fresh and delicious! Only complaint is some pieces of the chicken weren't coated evenly in sauce. There wasn't enough sauce to coat each piece. Still delicious and decently priced. KFC can get pricey, so I appreciate Vons' rates. You can choose to eat in at the food court, though the ambiance isn't aesthetic. It's very clean and homey.

You know it's a Asian family run place when their kids are sitting at one of the tables doing some homework (at least I hope it was) The guy ordering was super friendly and patiently explained some stuff to me Ordered the original spicy chicken plate and went to make it fresh. Delivered to my table was a plate with 6 pcs fried wings, corn and furikake rice. Not bad for $14 now days! Chicken had a nice crunch and was mildly spicy. Flavor was good and chicken was moist. Corn seemed like it was homemade cream corn with crisp kernels and some light cream sauce. I thought chicken was great and priced right. I will come back for lunch for sure!

Got the yogurt drink and the passion pineapple juice. The yogurt drink was creamy and slightly tart!! And the juice was too sweet... had to water it down with a bottle of water. They brought out the drinks first and the chicken was made to order. Fast service. There were a couple of tables and it was warm inside. But cozy.

    We planned a Valentine's staycation for the family in Waikiki and happened to stumble upon Good…read moreChicken inside STYX ASIA. When you're always on the hunt for great fried chicken, you can't really pass up a place literally called "Good Chicken" and they definitely lived up to the name! The establishment is cute and cozy with tables available for dine-in. As soon as we walked up, we were kindly greeted and a table was set up for us immediately. After getting settled into our hotel, we were starving, and everything on the menu looked incredible. We ended up ordering the Garlic Chili and the Honey Shoyu chicken. It was exactly what you want when you're craving KFC. The sauces were spot on, chicken had a perfect crunch in every bite and the meat was incredibly tender. To make our dinner feel like a complete, we also added a few other items to the table. We had the pork mandoo and loved that it was clearly homemade, you could really taste the difference. Those extra sides were the perfect finishing touch to the feast. To be honest, if it weren't for this staycation, we probably wouldn't have headed into this part of Waikiki, but I'm so glad we did. Next time we stay in the area, this will definitely be on our list of places to repeat. If you are in the Waikiki area and looking for delicious Korean Fried Chicken (and a Kama'aina discount!), look no further.

    I love this place - but not the location. The food is SO good and fresh. Nothing is just reheated…read morebut started when the order is placed. My favorite is the garlic chili chicken wings plate lunch. The rice is just right - not too much and cooked just right. It comes with a healthy green salad. I did try their kalbi plate and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was - soft, tasty, thin, easy to eat. This is my go-to place for potlucks - I order the 20 piece garlic chili chicken wing pan. But, like I said, the location - in Waikiki - is not great. I park at the Ross parking lot across the street for 2 hours validated parking (buy a 99¢ shopping bag and get the stamp) and walk over. One day I was running late, it was a Tuesday (senior discount day at Ross), parking was not existant so I had to wait and wait. When I told Jay (the owner) about it, he said that next time I can just call and they can bring the food up to my car on the street. Next time for sure!

    I quite like the new owners of this Korean fried chicken shop! Where Good Chicken once was is now E…read moreChicken, which is run by a sweet Korean couple. Be sure to call ahead, it usually takes ~30 min per order if you call. Takeout only. Service is very polite. Parking is tough because of the area but there are a few spots out front, would generally recommend calling ahead so parking is less stressful. Their menu was a little confusing to me so here is some explanation: K pop chicken- boneless chicken pieces K chicken wings- flats and drumettes (the two parts of a larger chicken wing) K chicken tenders- boneless tenders only K crispy chicken- full wings, thighs, and breast pieces They offer each of these items as a plate lunch too, with a smaller portion of chicken that comes with rice and salad. I personally like the K chicken wings for the variety and higher meat to skin ratio but my husband really likes the K chicken wings. The skin is shatteringly crispy and flavorful and the meat is juicy. Their honey shoyu sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. You can also request the sauce on the side. I've also had the fried rice which was decent and generously portioned. We once had a complimentary house salad given to us which was unexpected kindness. Overall they do a great job serving up a delicious craveable food that keeps us coming back!

    I ordered the K-Crispy Chicken "Whole Pieces" and really got ripped off…read more Out of the 10 Piece box, only 3 pieces, 1 leg, 2 wings were complete pieces. They actually cut in half 5 pieces of the Chicken Backs and each 1/2 counted as a piece of overcooked chicken jerky! I also got a 1/3 of a breast section with bones and not even a 1/2 of a thigh. That totals my 10 pieces. More bones and excess crispy flour then consumable meat. NOBODY gives a Chicken back (or 1/2 a back)! Not Popeyes, not KFC or Zippy's who will remain my Favorite because I will only get ripped off the 1st time, never again. Additionally, they make you buy the sauce, the reason is due to no seasoning on the over floured bread...but it IS Crispy! The Chicken tenders were overcooked and REALLY Chewy around the edges. Just a LOT of breaded Crispy with no flavor, what "Chef" doesn't even use salt? Really, if you're going to risk testing this food, PAY for some sauce! I hope the Owner reads this and realizes that ripping people off by selling broken pieces that most Chef's throw away because they have so little meat on them, isn't going to keep him in business. The profit margin may be up while folks are trying it, spending their hard earn $$$'s, yet not coming back will be the ultimate demise of this business as many other have come and gone doing the exact same thing, not putting themselves in he patron's position. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a bowl of whole chicken pieces and immediately grabbed one that was back bone chopped in half?
