5/10 Dittos. I've given this Vons location multiple chances but I think I'm done coping and will settle on this being an OK korean fried chicken place. It's not terrible but i would say mid. The honey butter seasoning is extremely salty compared to other places I've tried and their chicken isn't that great. For how expensive it is I expect a little better quality and taste read more

Vons Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Concord, California

The food here is really good, I recommend the honey butter chicken and the cheddar fries for sure! It can be a bit of a wait but it's worth it. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny, but that's just how korean fried chicken is you know. When I went in the girl on aux also was playing some good music and the vibes were good. read more

From all of the times I've been here, I'm still surprised that the restaurant isn't always packed. It's probably not located in the heaviest traffic area, but this is one heck of a hidden gem that people should check out. Being right next to the movie theater can be a double edged sword. It's right next to the parking structure, so depending on what time and day you go, is how you'll deal with parking. Like I said, wait time to be seated has never been a problem for me. It doesn't take that long for your order to come out either. I've tried a good chunk of the flavors so far, but hands down, my favorite is the crispy fried chicken. The breading is nice and crispy, and the seasoning is great. The drumsticks are pretty huge too! I've tried the garlic, vons special, and yang nyum, but the flavors don't suit me personally. The staff is nice and is very patient, especially if it's youre first visit. I've had a couple of nice conversations with them. They're usually also nice enough to let us change the channel if there was a game we were trying to watch. And there's also a constant playlist of Kpop on the speakers in the background, a plus for me. I don't have a big catalog of Korean Chicken restaurants that I've visited so far, but this is definitely at the top. Go check them out! read more

Sooo good! The crispy and the garlic chicken are so yummy. Best Korean chicken in our area. Love this place! Friendly staff too!

The chicken here? Crispy with rich flavor and an abundance of satisfaction. If you're a fiend for Korean chicken like myself, this place will fulfill any cravings you have while in the 925 area. Top Picks: The Vons Special Sauce Chicken and the Spicy Yang Nyum. Ganjang and Honey Butter Chicken are also good picks if you're not into spicy foods. The Venue: The restaurant is located in the midst of restaurants, a movie theater, and busy streets. Inside, the restaurant has excellent lighting, a vast amount of space, and plenty of places to sit for groups big or small. The Service: Workers here are friendly and attentive; they move quite swiftly and are super helpful when asked questions about the menu. The Spendings: Affordable! In comparison to other places with Korean chicken in the East Bay, Vons is definitely a more accessible and affordable alternative (if it's even considered an alternative) to look forward to. Overall Experience: Excellent -- easily a place favorable for large groups especially! read more

Best Korean chicken! I'm Korean and I know what is good Korean chicken. Our family are regular here and the owner is so sweet. Highly recommend the soy spicy Garlic wings. It is the best! read more

Customer service is excellent. The chicken wings was fresh & hot! It was delicious, I couldn't even wait for them to cool down.. burned my mouth a few times but totally worth it. Came here with my boyfriend after his surgery and they offered us water. At first we ordered it to go but all of a sudden I was hungry and I really couldn't wait to eat because it smelt sooo good! Ended up eating like 8 wings/drums from the spot. Nice and clean. Table and chairs, tv on the wall. Bathrooms available. Location near Brenden movies. No one was inside when we arrived. The price was expensive to me, but it was worth it. We ordered half and a whole = $43 read more

The fried chicken was delicious! Especially the honey butter flavor. Will definitely order again!

Nom nom nom!! We joined our friends for dinner here. The place was bustling the night we came. We were greeted promptly and informed that it would be a few minutes for a table. Von's does not take reservations and the space isn't that big. I'd say they can seat about 60 at any given time. We enjoyed the crunchy fried chicken (as opposed to crispy) with sauce on the side. It was served with cole slaw and daikon radish pickles. Oh boy was that chicken crunchy!!! Free and hot out of the fryer, but not greasy at all. We also ordered a side of rice (good for 1) and the street tokbokki (friend rice cakes). Those were amazing and would be great with beer. Eat the rice cakes ASAP since they are best fresh out of the fryer. Prices were very reasonable (about $30 for the above) and we'd gladly return! The staff is also so warm and friendly!! read more

Whenever I'm in the mood for KFC, Vons is my go to joint! I've only gotten take out here and the chicken never fails to stay cripsy during the car ride home. Out of all the flavors my favorite are the Spicy Yang Yum and Regular Cripsy Chicken. Although the chicken is amazing I'd pass on the sides, the kimchi fried rice comes in such a small portion(or maybe I just have a big appetite), and I'm not really a fan of the rice cakes here. I stick with just ordering the chicken and make kimchi fried rice at home. Every order comes with complimentary cole slaw and pickled daikon and that really helps to offset the rich and heavy flavors of the chicken which is a nice compliment. If you're in the mood for KFC, stick with the chicken only menu items and you'll be very satisfied! read more

Just an OK Korean fried chicken. It's not bad but it's not the best. If you don't want to drive out to oakland/sf then stop by here. I got three items last night, boneless yang yum (medium spicy), crunchy fried chicken, and regular fries. The bones less yang yum sauce is super delicious but the way they fried the boneless chicken is so weird. It's literally a BALL. When I bite into the chicken, all I chew on is the battered up chicken. Not one bite tasted like chicken but battered. It was very disappointing, before it was 80% chicken and 20% the battered but now it's honestly the other way around. On the other hand, the fried chicken was good, as well as the fries. But I don't recommend anything boneless. Just get mix combo of drum and wings. Overall, just 3 star. It's great location and close by which is nice but I prefer to just drive out in Oakland for a good yang yum chicken. read more

The boyfriend and I love getting our Korean Fried Chicken fix from this place. It's conveniently located near the 99 Ranch plaza so you can do your grocery shopping and then pick up some Korean fried chicken. They have Fried and Oven baked (get the fried) and from either option you choose the type of chicken (wings, boneless, combo, half order or full order etc). You also have to choose a flavor. We tend to get: - half order of CRISPY WINGS with sweet cheddar: Sweet cheddar sounds funky but it's heavenly. Just the right amount of sweetness and salty funk from the cheese. They're addicting. - half order of CRISPY BONELESS CHICKEN: Crispy fried chicken pieces in some sort of soy glaze. We find no difference between medium or spicy. Contra Costa County needed a good Korean fried chicken place and this place delivers. Every order comes with complimentary pickled daikon (helps cut the richness) and coleslaw. The total with tip ends up being around $30, but we also make a pot of rice at home and some sort of salad. We always end up having leftovers! read more

Vons chicken has been book marked for a long time now and after so many friends telling me to finally try it, i have. It's COVID time and was only offering to-go. Being our first time there, we were asking the worker some questions and suggestions. She was super awkward and made the experience kind of weird - not helpful at all, but we ended up ordering the 2 most pictured items here on Yelp. If everyone gets them, it gotta be good right?! And yes it was!! The honey butter was my favorite and loved their fries. Perfect amount of soft and crispy. The chicken were huge and filling for sure which makes it worth the price. Loved all the sides it comes with too, especially the radish. One thing i did not like was that the menu price was for drunk sticks only. If you wanted combination of drumsticks with flats, that was extra money. That's kind of messed up. read more

I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try wings that weren't from Wing Stop haha. It was late, probably around 10pm, and my friends and I found this place! S E R V I C E: You can choose to order to go, but you can also sit down. We were sat, and given menus. Our server was very sweet and gave us water and described the flavors to us because some of the flavors we've never heard of. Plus, there was an option of having a chicken crunchy or crispy...aren't they the same thing? Haha F O O D: The pieces of chicken were huge. Definitely wasn't expecting big ol' drumsticks. We ordered honey butter chicken and yang yum wings. We were very surprised at how sweet smelling the honey butter was. It smelled like straight sugar and I wasn't sure how I felt about that...until I tried it! It wasn't that bad, I actually liked it better than the yang yum wings. We also got a big salad that four of us girls shared with a sesame dressing, and that was pretty good. O V E R A L L: I wasn't impressed with the flavors of the chicken we ordered. Not sure if I'm going to give Vons another chance. read more

I ordered almost $100 of the fried chicken on Friday night for my mom, because I want her to try my favorite fried chicken wings. However, the meat is dry and also on the second wing we had, we found the holes.(it was shown on the inside part because my son always peel the chicken skin and then we saw the holes!) we suddenly lost appetite for eating. It was such a bad experience for my whole family! read more

Vons Chicken - Unknown holes - Chicken Wings Near Me - Concord, California

By far my favorite place for KFC... and no we aren't talking about Kentucky styled! Korean Fried Chicken has never tasted so good, until I tried Vons. Honestly I feel like this place is so underrated and that not enough people go here. Maybe keep it that way so I can get my chicken fix whenever I want without any wait hehe. On a serious note, always perfection when I get my chicken. Doesn't take too long and customer service is perfect! I've ordered in, got delivery, got takeout, always. The. Same. Result. Which is AMAZING. Cravings are always satisfied, and I just want to shout out the employees for always giving me a great experience. See you next week! read more

I saw a guy in the back making the food without a hairnet... and he was tasting the food too. It looks very unsanitary to me

I waited way too long to try this. Shit was bomb. Even via doordash, it arrived perfectly crispy and flavorful even to the next day. I got the crispy fried chicken half size and the von's special sauce chicken half size and an order or japchae. Everything was good. I think about it all the time lol get you some. read more

Service was friendly, attentive, and timely. Everything we ordered was fresh. We ordered... Crunchy Wings (half order) Honey Butter Wings (half order) Padak Wings (quick special) Garlic Fries Fried pot Stickers 2 beers: Stella & the Cider on on tap Everything tasted great!! With the exception of the pot stickers which seemed like frozen, not made in-house, and weren't very good in taste or texture. Would not order those again. The padak wings are a mild version of Wasabi, and somehow they manage to capture the essence of it without the overpowering spiciness!! Pretty cool flavor. The crunchy wings and the honey butter wings were our favorites on this visit... SUPER crispy & delicious!! Definitely recommend read more

Definitely one of the best fried chicken in the area. Whenever I crave for fried chicken and don't want to go somewhere too far, I come to Vons. They don't have any nice decorations in the restaurant or anything but who cares - their fried chicken is on point. I like how they have different kinds of fried and oven chicken with your choice of wings or drums - with the crispy fried as my favorite. For sides, I have had their sweet potato fries which are also good but I don't recommend ordering their kimchi fried rice it's bland. If you want to order to-go, do call in advance for your order, then your order will be waiting for you to pick up when you arrive :) read more

We tried Vons Chicken for the first time and will certainly be back soon! Ordered the full-sized (20 pieces) Crispy Fried Chicken ($23.99) in the Spicy flavor over the phone. The order was ready in less than 20 minutes and came with two sides -- coleslaw and pickled radish. The spicy flavor is mild and you have the option of ordering all wings, all drums, or a combo (5 drums/10 wings). The crispy fried chicken was delicious. You get huge pieces of chicken that are perfectly coated and lightly seasoned. The crunch is apparent and it pairs perfectly with the pickled daikon. This was enough for 4 servings since the chicken pieces were so large! read more

I was so excited to try this chain because of a coworker recommendation but I don't think I'll ever trust that guy again! We ordered 3 fried and 2 oven baked flavors along with japchae and rice cake, and the only thing finished was the japchae and the crispy fried (no sauce) chicken. We love Korean fried chicken from other places but the sauces here just didn't hit the spot. The rice cake was also way too hard, like they weren't fresh, and the japchae was al dente. Ironically the Cole slaw that came with it was gone also. Either way, disappointed after looking forward to it for so long...will need to go back to our other KFC spots. read more

Tried Vons for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! Will definitely be supporting this local spot for all my chicken cravings. We door-dashed boneless Crispy Fried Chicken and a side of fries. The chicken has a little extra something to it, like a slight marinade? Whatever it was, it was delicious. It made it very exciting to eat and I didn't get bored eating, since the bites tasted different. Also the full size was a good quantity, for 2 people we should've gone with the half. The fries were super yummy, great seasoning. Place was really good, will definitely be supporting and eating again! Looking forward to trying their other items. read more

We ordered a takeout for lunch: Crunchy Fried Chicken (Not to be confused with Crispy Fried Chicken!), Oven-Roasted Chicken, Jaap Chae, Chicken Salad and a side of Sweet Potato Fries just to mix things up a bit. My brother prefers Vons to the other KFCs. I will admit: as a takeout, Vons does not disappoint! The Crunchy Fried Chicken is fantastic! The batter is light and CRUNCHY. I love that they included sauce on the side. The Oven-Roasted Chicken and Jaap Chae was delicious too! They are so generous with the Chicken Salad that we have leftovers for tomorrow! But the fried chicken is the star! read more

The chicken is pretty good. On par with other chicken place's in the area. But they don't give good estimations for wait time. I ordered on the phone and I got there 5 min after my order was supposed to be ready. I waited another 25 min. I asked a couple times and they just kept saying 'it's almost ready'. If you forgot my order, just tell me. Honest communication goes along way. Poor communication will cost you business, starting with mine. read more

I have been to this location many times when it was owned by the former owners before the Covid shutdown. I loved the food and service when the former owners owned the restaurant. My boyfriend and I went to this Vons after going to the movies at the Brendan Theater this weekend. I was disappointed in the food AND service and I rated both two stars. I ordered the Mild Crispy Soy Glazed Chicken Wings and they were fried hard, they weren't moist and juicy, and I could barely taste the soy glaze on the wings. The coleslaw I got only had the shredded cabbage with no dressing in it. When I told my server there was no dressing, she added it and it was good, but why was it served with no dressing initially? I rated the service 2 stars because our servers were mostly MiA. One server eventually Ti ok our order and brought our food and she went home. The other server brought our check and it took a long time to get it and we had to request it a couple of times before we eventually got it. Based on our experience at Vons Chicken, we probably won't go back anytime soon, especially since we have so many other dining options in Concord. I don't know if this was a off night, but it definitely was that for me and I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Get the crispy fried chicken - spicy ! That's it. If you're going to get crispy fried chicken with honey butter ask for it LIGHT or on the side. The honey butter is basically powdered sugar and ruins the entire chicken - unless you like eating spoon fulls of sugar... I had to wipe down the honey butter off of the chicken just to make it edible. But I like sweet things so it was still okay for me- my brother couldn't get himself to eat it after one bite. The crispy yang yum chicken is similar to a fire wings flavor... I'd choose the fire wings flavor over that... but since fire wings closed down the street I guess this is a good alternative. Their cheddar fries are sweet and yummy too. Overall the flavors are a little too overwhelming for me. We couldn't finish 30 pcs between 3 ppl - but that might have been because the wing sizes are meaty. 4 stars because I'd go back just for the spicy crispy fried chicken and cheddar fries. And maybe I'll be open to try another flavor next time. read more

Can't believe it took COVID for us to finally try this place. We ordered the ssam chicken with a couple of sides (japchae and spicy rice cake), really not knowing anything in particular about the restaurant. This beautifully-presented take out meal had us feeling like we were dining in, even though we were dining at home! We stuffed ourselves with perfectly julienned veggies, boneless cuts of fresh roasted chicken, sweet and tangy sauce, wrapped in pickled thin-sliced radish. And the best part? We totally ate our veggies today. (And we really didn't even know we were doing it) We have eaten a lot of take out the past couple of months, trying our best to keep supporting the local restaurants. This was an absolute gem of a find and we will definitely add this into the rotation! read more

I was in the area doing some errands and we were in the mood for fried chicken. When I did a search, Vons came up and I immediately remembered someone who highly recommended this place to me a couple months ago, so ding ding ding! After some digging, I decided to order a variety- crispy fried chicken, crispy garlic and honey butter (for the adventure!). For add-ons, two orders of streamed rice and fries. We waited a good 35 minutes in our car before I decided to skip on waiting for a phonecall from them and see if the order was ready anyways. I waited an additional 5 minutes outside before the order was completed. When we arrived home, I laid everything on on the table to see the goods. The chicken looked really good and the garlic sauce was separate in a container, that I forgot what it was and thought it was the honey butter sauce but that chicken was powdered, so that was surprisingly different. The little add-ons were coleslaw and radish, about 3 of containers each. The radish wasn't as tangy as I had hoped (hoping for a Bonchon-ish taste) and the coleslaw fell flat. The chicken itself: the crispy fried was my favorite. I ended up dipping it in ketchup, which was included in the bag, which initially I thought was hot sauce. Apparently on the 20 minute ride home, I forgot what I ordered. The honey butter chicken was good but I wasn't in the mood for it, especially since I was in a rice-eating mood. The chicken that was made for the garlic, I just ate it without so it goes without saying that I liked the crispy fried chicken the best. Would I return? Yes for the crispy fried chicken and try some spicy chicken next time! read more

Terrible.... Ordered delivery couple days ago. The rice cake is spicy, it so not chewable, and it looks like it is being microwave a couple times. The chicken is too dried....... The spicy chicken is so spicy but it's kind of like a sour taste of spicy... Will not recommend read more

We are Vons chicken fans. We always get some fried chicken when we are in Sunnyvale. We were so thrilled when we found out there's one nearby in Concord. We visited the place today finally. The young lady who took our order was very friendly and nice. However the fried chicken was disastrous. They over fried it and seems we were eating jerky not fried chicken. We threw away more than half of the uneatable pieces. I don't think we'll give them another chance. read more

This is probably one of the better Korean fried chicken places on this side of the bridge! Perfectly crispy, not saturated in oil upon being served, and excellent flavor. Tried 3 of the 4 fried chicken options and was satisfied with each flavor! My favorite by far was they honey butter chicken which was both sweet and savory. Ordered a side of sweet potato fries to accompany the meal as well. The fries were the only thing average about the food. As for the service we were promptly greeted and our order was taken relatively quick. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She was always quick to refill waters and provide extra napkins and we never felt like we had to hunt down our waitress for any other need. Overall I was extremely satisfied with our experience here! Now in regards to the previous reviews about pests and the restaurant being closed, I cannot speak to that as I did not know that prior to coming here. The restaurant was clean and I would've never known that there were such issues. Now having read about the pest problems I can't yet say if I'll be back as I'm a bit apprehensive.... read more
