This is all the batter left over from
Michael N.

NEW OWNERS PLEASE READ!!! Von's used to be one of our favorite places to order from but tonight the staff ruined the fried chicken. Batter is way over done and recipe has changed, they changed the quality of the drum sticks, they buy smaller size and butterfly them in a way that makes them look bigger. Oil is old as you can tell the batter is darker than it usually is and they nuked my chicken to the point where chicken was completely dried out! This place used to be so good but you can tell they are doing everything to save a buck which I get, but raise the prices and keep food quality the same, don't make the batter thicker and chicken smaller! And please monitor your staff, it's not hard to ruin fried chicken but somehow your staff managed that tonight!

I went back again because the chicken is so hot, crunchy and made to order. I did notice the price change on the website has gone up a bit for the All day lunch. But since I called in my order, I asked was it still 11.95 and the guy said yes. I'm still a happy customer.

What a cute middle of the block place ! This place is nice inside , love love the signage ... the food is delicious , fresh and juicy ! The service was amazing ! Highly recommend a visit here. There's tons of parking considering there's a parking garage as well as open parking in front and across the street. This place is nice enough for groups or dine in alone.

This was my first time here and it was so good. Perfectly fried wings, juicy and flavorful. I heard about this business and tried to get to the Berkeley location but it had changed to a different business. The service was quick and they brought the food to our table on actual plates. The vibecwas chill there were a lot of to go orders than people dining in. I also enjoy that they have a free parking lot next door so that's a plus. I will definitely return soon to try other irems.

Best fried chicken I've tried in Easy Bay. Chicken came out crispy, hot and delicious! Service was quick and the place is nicely kept and clean! New favorite spot to get chicken. Better than any big chain store fried chicken!

Vons Chicken in Concord does chicken right! My pic once again made the Yelp page lol, so you already know this spot is legit. Lunch prices? On point and reasonable. The chicken? So crispy it could probably survive a drop test lol, flavorful, juicy, and straight-up addicting. And don't even get me started on the fries whether you go for the honey butter or the sweet cheddar, both are hella good and borderline dangerous (you'll accidentally finish the whole order lol). The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and the vibes are solid. If you haven't been yet, stop playing and get yourself some of this crispy perfection. You won't be disappointed: )

We were visiting this area and wanted a quick bite before heading home. The KFC did not disappoint! The wings were fried to a wonderful crisp without the breading becoming too soggy. The sauce coated the wings nicely with just enough sweetness and heat. Staff were nice and friendly. Definitely recommend for a quick bite or takeout when you need a little KFC fix.

Left to right: Kimchi fried rice, spicy fried rice cakes, honey butter chicken, medium spicy crispy chicken, honey butter french fries.

Best Korean fried chicken in the bay area, hands down!!! Everything was fried to order, super flavorful, and ridiculously delicious. Our waiter was so nice, and told us his personal favorites were the crispy chicken and honey butter fries. They ended up being our favorites as well. The honey butter fries came out first, and they were sooo hot, crispy, and fluffy. The sauce was exceedingly delightful, and we were all excited to taste it on the chicken later too. The spicy fried rice cakes were nice and crispy yet chewy, and the kimchi fried rice was solid. Right as we tasted all the appetizers, the chicken came out hot and steaming. The medium spicy crispy chicken was... AMAZING! Totally crunchy on the outside, yet moist and juicy on the inside. The soy garlic glaze was super yummy and bold. The honey butter chicken was great too, absolutely loaded with that honey butter and parmesan. Some Korean fried chicken places go light on the sauces, but not this place! We also got fried oreos for dessert, and as you can see we demolished them before any pictures were taken. We didn't fully know what to expect, but it was like a light and fluffy donut with a melty oreo in the middle. Very unique, super yummy. We can't wait to go back!!!

My new favorite chicken spot in Concord! This is my new go to spot for all things chicken. I love the Oven Baked Chicken and their selection of sauces. I recently ordered the Oven Chicken Rice Bowl and it was a perfect lunch!

Crunchy chicken

I'm very disappointed. They butterfly the drumstick to give the illusion that it's larger than it actually is. They don't advertise that it's a 'butterflied drumstick'. That also dried the chicken out while it fries. That's a very deceptive business practice. I won't be patronizing ANY of the Von's franchises. Fresh Tray across the street is much better! Worth the wait and money!

Met up with family at this restaurant for a weekday lunch. I'm not well-versed on Korean cuisine,…read moreand there are only a few dishes I feel safe ordering with the short ribs being one of them. Our group ordered the 2 meat/2 soup special for 4 persons and it was definitely enough food for our group. The short ribs were excellent and I even enjoyed the soups (not sure what they're called, but one was pork and one was beef). Excellent service throughout and the place was very busy. Parking could be a challenge depending on the time of day as it's shared with other merchants.

Wow, I am never coming back. Management may see this and not care because I'm one person out of…read moremany and they make enough money. But sheesh I felt racism aura all around. Something against Filipinos? Or me? Did I do something wrong? I ordered bibimbap and so did my dad. My sister got tofu soup. My mom was sharing soup with her. It was obnoxiously loud because there was a birthday being celebrated at the table in the middle (not the staff's fault but maybe this got on the staff's nerves?) I asked for 1 refill of the side dishes. 1. Waitress gives us a refill. So that's the initial set of side dishes and 1 refill. As my dad goes up to the back portion of the restaurant to pay, I ask for another refill of side dishes. Lady with shorter hair says, "no." with a stern look of disgust. I go, "uhh..okay." Really weird, that's never happened before, ever. My sister and mom left a few minutes prior and got their tofu soup to go because of how loud it was--we weren't done with our meal they just wanted to get out of there. If the soup was still on the table and all 4 of us were sitting down, would she still have said no? We then left a $5 tip (I wanted to give $0 actually after what just happened). As I left the table and went out the door, I saw the waitress looking at our table from the back where you pay, she was checking to see if we even left a tip (because my dad didn't put a tip on the bill as we like to leave cash tips). Just all around bad vibes. I very rarely give 1 star reviews. Actually the food here is unfortunately phenomenal, so if you've never had a bad experience here go ahead and continue eating here it's great. Food portions are terribly small for the price you pay. It's a flat out rip off for the cost. Maybe if their service was good it would justify the cost, but their service as described above, despicable. I know my thoughts are all over the place but I'm a bit rattled still at what just happened. I finished eating there 7:48pm, it's 8:03pm as I'm typing this on my phone in the car while the memory is fresh. That's how irked I am. They did not refill our water or ask to refill our water until I asked, and I only asked once. I saw they asked other tables if they wanted refills of water. That, plus the side dish refill and the short haired lady who's probably the owner saying no? I never want to come back. I felt disrespected, unappreciated, and felt racially profiled like because I'm Filipino she didn't like our kind there or something. The vibes were really off. I'm never coming back here voluntarily. At least that's how I feel right now. My experience, 0/5. The food, unfortunately 4/5, Score: 1 star because that's the lowest I can give it. Expect to see this review on here, Google, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. To the owner / waitress who didn't give me refills on the side dishes, if you're reading this: didn't think I'd go this far to share my experience did you? The angry side of me hopes you lose business. The more peaceful side of me hopes you read this, think about what you did and if it was right, and think about your customer service and making people that come to your establishment and paying you to eat your food, happy. Because the look you gave when you said, "no." When I asked for the refill of side dishes, you might as well have spit on my face. That's how it felt. If you feel no remorse over this incident, then I wish poorly on your business, but I doubt this review will affect your profits. Good bye. Never again.

Service was amazing here as the staff attentive. Tangerine Soju slush (5/5): Was going to get the strawberry one, but the staff recommended this one instead. I am so glad I took their advice. It wasn't too sweet and tasted fresh. Beef tartare (5/5): Definitely one of the best I've ever tried. A pile of raw beef pieces on top of slices of pears and topped with a raw egg. The creaminess from the runny egg really enhances the flavors of the beef. The pear was refreshing and added a hint of freshness Seafood pancake (5/5): This was also one of the best I've ever had. There was plenty of seafood and the outter batter was crunchy. Cold noodle (5/5): Was very refreshing on a hot day, but the mustard was very spicy. Probably recommend this if you're not sharing with a large party. Original Kalbijim (5/5): Now time for the star of the show. I really recommend getting it with cheese. The meat was fall right off the bone and tender. The flavor of the sauce was complex with many different tastes Daeho did not let me down once again.

Good for a solo date, date, or large group. We enjoy getting their signature dish with short ribs…read moreand adding multiple toppings with the cheese, of course! People are very attentive and helpful when asking questions. Would I go back? Yes, and I already have.

We came here after going to a corn maze, and we were starving!…read more We joined the waitlist on our way, but we still had to wait another 15-20 min after we arrived. I definitely recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time and timing it accordingly. We've been to Gen at other locations before, but this was my first time visiting this location. Each round, you can order four meats and two appetizers, if I remember correctly. Our server was great! He checked on our table frequently and made sure we could order more food, which I really appreciated. A solid spot if you're craving AYCE KBQQ.

Not a good experience at all. I started feeling sick during the meal after eating the meat here,…read moreand it completely ruined my dining experience. This place seriously needs an inspection and better customer service training. Why does a paying customer have to show more politeness and respect than the actual servers? The attitude from the staff was unacceptable, especially when customers are paying for both the food and the service. Imagine being a server and rolling your eyes at a customer who is simply being polite and saying thank you. I genuinely don't understand the hostility. If you hate your job that much, maybe you shouldn't be working in customer service. To make matters worse, the prices are not worth the poor service, and the expectation of receiving an additional tip while treating customers with such a horrible attitude is ridiculous. Management needs to step up, provide proper employee training, and take both food safety and customer service seriously. If these issues aren't addressed, I honestly don't see why anyone should spend their money here. Absolutely disappointing experience.

Craving AYCE KBBQ and found Yaedam on Yelp nearby! Surprised to find it's also an AYCE sushi…read morespot??? How??? Too many good things bundled in one :3 We arrived on a Wednesday evening and experienced no wait, though I imagine weekends are more lively. Large parking lot attached to the side. The restaurant is spacious and cozy, decorated with a blend of modern and traditional decor. Lighthearted pop covers fill the room with an upbeat air. All staff caring for us were kind and accommodating. My partner and I both chose the B course ($39.95/ea). Great options & good quality meats! Even delicious options for pescatarians :P Some favorites: - PRIME BEEF MARINATED SHORT RIB (perfectly seasoned) - PREMIUM PORK BELLY (so juicy. IMO better than their flavored ones because less salty. Admittedly I broke my pork fast for KBBQ... OTL) - SPICY SQUID (yooooo unexpectedly fire) The meats are generously portioned; prepare yourself with a voracious appetite :P Already looking forward to the next visit~~~

They offer both AYCE sushi and AYCE KBBQ, so you can choose depending on what you're in the mood for. The Experience The birthday boy picked sushi for the night. Overall it was pretty mid. The salmon was decent, but most of the other items were just okay. Nothing really stood out. Final Thoughts Would I come back? Maybe, but probably only if someone else wanted to.
