I've only tried the chicken, so can't speak on any of the the other dishes. But the garlic soy crispy fried chicken is amazing. Some people may consider their spice levels to be hot, so if you're not into that, I recommend getting mild. But the hot is just perfect in my opinion. Better chicken than Bonchon. read more

Always good Korean fried chicken at Vons. Glad to see they are adding tons of new locations. Consistent product regardless of which locations you go to. Enjoy them almost any where in the Bay Area. Crunchy, juicy and full of flavor. Never disappointed. read more

I've had Vons before and had a great experience but today was different. I asked for a "10 piece drumette" and the worker asked me "which one?" Again so I pointed and said "the 10 piece drumette wings" then he asked for the flavor and I told him then my order came out to $35 and I was confused but went along because I don't know how much they charge. When I get home I opened my dinner to find that I got 10 whole drumsticks, the big ones from the legs of a chicken. Now I know why my "10 drumettes" were $35. Overall I'd still recommend this place just be very very clear on what you're ordering and check the receipt. read more

Forget buffalo wings, KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is better. There's not much out there better than some crispy fried chicken and an ice-cold drink. I tried the crunch fried chicken and the spicy soy garlic glaze and the sweet butter fries. The sweet butter fries had a unique sweet flavor that surprised me and I wasn't sure how I felt about them. Until I kept reaching for another, and another. I didn't realise how much I enjoyed them until the basket was empty. Almost wanted to order another basket! The crunch fried chicken was preternaturally crispy, as all KFC does involve being fried twice for max crunch. But the soy garlic glaze was my favourite. The moment my teeth sunk past that crispy, saucy skin layer into the juicy, tenderness underneath, it made normal wings seem tame by comparison. If you're new to KFC, there's no better place to start an addiction than Vons. Definitely coming back! read more

The cashier person they had at the front is rude and non attentive. Long story short, because of his lack of comprehension I will NEVER go back. My friend thought they paid for two meals for her and her son.I then ordered my meal and paid separately. The food came out and he handed both bags to my friend instead of handing me my own separate bag. As I was waiting for mine, they were snacking on their orders. After about 20 minutes we asked where my food was and he said my food was already given out. I asked for a refund and the cashier guy said no. Not a problem. I will be disputing with my credit card company due to not receiving the order. read more

Food is okay, customer service is bad. The younger guy at the register has a snappy attitude when you ask questions. Not going back, he was very rude. read more

I ordered from here on a whim after having seen the option on DoorDash for a while and I finally figured out what their restaurant photo was of!! Boneless chicken ssam! It was the best thing I have ever eaten. Honestly. I made some peanut butter sauce to go along with it in addition to the sauces provided and I highly recommend. Was so good. Five stars. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

At the Castro Valley location, there's consistently well prepared krispy and plump Korean style BBQ wings and drumsticks. The simple menu makes ordering easy. The glaze/sauce types are not overpowering or oily like other places. Plan to wait at least 15 minutes or more when ordering in-person. read more

Fast - ordered take out by phone and was ready when I arrived ~20 minute commute. Delicious - perfect amount of sauce. crispy & not oily. amazing amounts of flavor (yangnyum & garlic). came with free sides (pickled radish & coleslaw). Great customer service - i was greeted as soon as I walked in, paid and left in about 1 minute. Would definitely come back again. read more

Ordered takeout yesterday, -- Full order of Yang Nyum fried chicken combo of wings & drumsticks : they were so drenched with sauce so all the crispness were completely lost -- Half order of Honey Butter boneless chicken: good, very crispy, but the batter is too thick -- Half order of Von's Special boneless chicken : good, not fried but oven roasted Today, reheated the very soggy Yang Nyum in the air frier oven with maximum convection fan speed at 350 F for 15-20 minutes. The result is much better and the sugary soggy batter became crunchy and less sweet due to the caramelization of the sugar. Not sure if I will return :( read more

Vons Chicken always has great Korean fried chicken! This particular location is a to go place so no seating. Ordered on DoorDash to pick up and they were right on time with the order! I recommend the honey butter fried chicken it was sooo good. The garlic fried chicken was a bit salty and a little underwhelming. The rice cakes had a great sauce with them but see a bit hard to chew. Overall, great Korean fried chicken place! read more

Best fried chicken I've had in the east bay. That isn't saying a lot, but wow the intensity of the crunch and the freshness is unparalleled. While their other entrees and side options are not as robust as similar places, I'm really just here for the chicken. And that is unbeatable. read more

Love Vons wings! All the flavors are tasty. Easy and convenient pick up. Kimchi rice is great! Can't go wrong with Vons!

DO NOT ORDER GARLIC CHICKEN, UNLESS YOU WANT SWEET CHICKEN. I order the crispy garlic chicken and honey butter chicken. When I looked up the menu, it did not state that the garlic chicken was sweet. I think the chicken was probably crispy when first made, but it was drenched in the sauce, so it wasn't very crispy when I brought it home. It was my first time eating from here, so I ordered a half order of the honey and full order of garlic. When I tried them I first thought they messed up the order. I could barely tell the difference between them because they were both extremely sweet. Only reason I was able to tell the garlic chicken apart, was because I could see minced garlic. However there was no garlic flavor. I also ordered all wings, but was given half wings and half drums. I normally wouldn't care about that too much, but the rest of the household only likes wings, so it made it a lil upsetting. I called them and explained what had happened, and asked if I could get at least a refund on the garlic chicken, because it was miss leading and none of us ate any of the food after trying it. Thats a whole order basically wasted. He tried to insist that we just replace it with something else, but I don't want to waste more chicken. He said we will work something out. Currently on my way to figure out a solution. read more

Mediocre food. Chicken and fries were served cold and soggy. For being fried chicken was expecting better.

Taste pretty good for oven fried chicken, it took a long time for my food to be ready. Communication has room for improvement, but I would eat again. read more

So I've gotten Vons delivered and I'd have to say I enjoy the crispy chicken! First was the half wings and half legs second time we went with garlic flavor all wings. Definitely will be ordering again! read more

Vons Chicken - Crispy Garlic Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hayward, California

I'm not sure why this place isn't crowded whenever I go in. KFC is tasty! Their lunch special price is an absolute deal.. Honestly, as a business owner..I'd raise the prices! read more

Great tasting flavors but if you're gonna charge me extra for ordering both drums AND wings, don't just give me ONE wing.

Did delivery and very sad that we couldn't split flavors through to go. the honey butter chicken was very good tho, came with pickled radish and cole slaw. The rice cake I'm not the biggest fan of. The sauce just doesn't hit right for me and some of the rice cakes are chewy while some of them are crunchy and hollow ?? Wasn't bad but not what I expected read more

I usually love Korean Fried Chicken but this was not that good. I ordered the "crispy" Yangnyum Chicken and the Soy Sauce and Black Vinegar Chicken. The Yangnyum chicken was all wings and the Soy Sauce Chicken was all drum sticks. The yangnyum Chicken was heavily sauced with a very spicy sauce. The sauce was so heavy that the chicken was no longer crispy - it was soggy. I didn't like the flavor of the sauce. It was just hot. The soy sauce and black vinegar chicken did not have familiar vinegar taste. The meat tasted bad. I am not sure if the meat was old or there was a rotten piece in the marinade - the marinade might have been old and reused too long. I didn't get diarrhea but the taste did stop me from eating and I threw away the remaining chicken. It might have been an off day for the store so I won't discourage anyone from trying. You might want to start with a small amount to try before you order a large amount. Personally, I won't go back - the taste of rotten meat really grossed me out and I won't eat any chicken for awhile. read more

Don't let the building deceive you, this place is great! Personally, I'd rank it number 1 in CV. The food itself is tasty as heck and the owners are kind and accommodating. We brought our 3 young kids with us for a lunch and they were so great with them too! My husband likes really spicy food and their hottest fried chicken was spicy and had great flavor. read more

Very delicious korean fried chicken. Chicken stays crispy even if you get it to-go. Reminded me of my mom's korean fried chicken when I had it back home. I especially enjoyed the yang nyum (which is a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce) and the soy garlic chicken. Service was prompt, courteous, friendly. read more

Love the chicken! Crispy and packed with flavor in-and-out. Half order is good for two. Pickled radish is awesome. I think they're new and they focus on chicken but I still hope they offer more food in the future. Like, teokbokki, kimbap, and jjajangmyeon (literally all my favorite korean food haha). Very friendly staff and the place is nice and clean. Parking is good too. Price is good. read more

I ordered on Uber eats and I left a review on Uber eats as well but I wanted to leave one on yelp because their chicken wings are out of this world I asked for ranch dressing and they gave it to me for no charge which most of the time I pay for it and they forget to give it to me so I appreciate this company for a very much read more

It's a hit or miss. The chicken order is sometimes inconsistent and the rice is not cooked or missed.

Picked up my phone order and it was delicious. Due to covid-19, they are only doing online/phone orders. My order only took about 25 minutes during noon on a Friday. The chicken was very crispy and make sure to mention having your sauce in the side so your chicken doesn't get soggy. I got the Crispy Fried Chicken and Honey Butter and they were both delicious. I would say that Honey Butter is definitely an acquired taste. read more

This shit taste fucking horrible and is wayyyyyy overpriced They don't know how to cook chicken read more

Good crispy chicken but on the pricy side for a place that has very limited options. Love the pickled radish.

I've been craving fried chicken for a while so decided to try Von's for the first time. My new favorite spot in the East Bay for fried chicken! I got the crunchy honey butter drum sticks and wings! Burst of flavor not overpowering just the right crispiness and not greasy at all! Will be back to try other flavors! read more

I'm so impressed by this place and am so glad we have a new Korean Fried Chicken place in Castro Valley! Last night, my boyfriend and I ordered takeout and got half orders of the Crispy Padak Chicken, Crispy Fried Chicken with Honey Butter, and the Crispy "YANGNYUM" Chicken (Mild). Each order came with a side of Cole slaw and pickled radish. Everything we ordered was really good and I was thoroughly impressed by each item. The outside texture is really nice and crunchy while the inside is nice and meaty/juicy! If I had to rate our order from favorite to least favorite, it'd be: 1. Crispy "YANGNYUM" Chicken (Mild) - 10/10, so much flavor and the spice isn't overpowering 2. Crispy Padak Chicken- 9.5/10, the fried chicken is perfect and the shredded green onions are a nice addition for a pop of flavor 3. Crispy Friend Chicken with Honey Butter- 8.5/10, I also really enjoyed this one; however, I enjoyed the two other chickens more. The flavor for this was both cheesy and sweet and I prefer more savory flavors Bonus points for customer service also because the man at the front desk was really friendly and insisted on carrying our food out to our car for us :) Although I tried this place last night, I'm already craving their fried chicken. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Vons chicken is my go to place for amazing Korean Fried Chicken. I order the crispy boneless soy garlic chicken with the cheddar fries at least once a week if not more. It's SCRUMPTIOUS!!! The service is fast and friendly. It's a definite spot to try. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place a 1 star is the customer service I received from the middle aged Asian man who took my order. Wings are great, but Customer service sucks! His name is Hokyung noting from my receipt. read more

Forget what I got before. Stick with the fried garlic chicken and the yangyum. I normally don't ever get boneless but didn't feel like getting my hands dirty--it was surprisingly so good. All dark meat pieces and super tender. read more

This is my crack chicken. It is out of this world delicious! The right crispiness, tender and juicy! My favorite is their crispy butter chicken. I've tried the other locations, but seems like this one is the best. read more

Our favorite fried chicken spot! Crispy crunch spicy is the way to go. Nice crunch, not dry and has a late kick of spice! They moved closer to us now too . So dangerous read more

They give my pick up orders to other guys and told me it's been picked up and what the waiter says sounds it's our fault and not will to make a new order. That's really surprised me. We argued for 10 mins and finally he willing to remake the order and he told me that's the last time he will remake the order. That's so brutal. read more

Ordered the boneless crispy garlic chicken (half). Which was thin pieces of fried chicken with sauce on top. Not on the breading as advertised. Misleading pictures/advertisement with bland tasting chicken with sauce on top. There's better options out there for the money. read more

I ordered the lunch combo with the crispy garlic chicken and fries. My boyfriend also got the lunch combo with crispy garlic chicken and with kimchi fried rice ($1 more) . We both really enjoyed it! I thought the chicken went really well with the kimchi fried rice. The fries, I could probably pass on though. read more
