    Honey Butter Wing
    Craig T.

    Can't believe I always pass by this crazy intersection Waialae Ave and St.Louis heights. Right at the corner is a Vons chicken. My nephew wanted some chicken for his birthday so take out w/Vons chicken. The snow chicken was very interesting w/Parmesan cheese . I like the Honey butter as well . Service was fast and friendly and their chicken is very crispy and tasty . Support local

    Ordered by phone 1 full order of plain crispy fried and half order of soy. The price is not super cheap but the freshly fried chicken satisfied our palate. Parking could be a challenge if the front parking lot is full. Since it is take out only, we usually jump in and just pay and pick up. Coming out of the parking lot is also a slight challenge as you watch out for traffic turning around the corner.

    Paid $6 more and got less food - not cool

    Totally uncool for this restaurant to think it's okay to rip off my teenage daughter! Zero stars for the fluctuation in cost for what was an easy modification to the chicken plate. Chicken plate: Boneless fried chicken Rice Mac salad 2pc Mandoo Modification request: Sub RICE for SNOW FRIES First visit: No problem, sub Rice for Snow Fries $1 upcharge **Mac and Mandoo still included** Second visit: Cashier seemed confused and asked the owner how to charge, then followed owner's advisory. Upon picking up her order, she received: Chicken and Snow Fries in place of the rice (not full order of fries) **Mac and Mandoo, NOT included** **6.99 upcharge But wait... the Snow Fries side order is $6.99..? So you mean to tell me that you think it's fair to charge FULL PRICE for the plate and FULL PRICE for the fries, but you KEPT the Rice, Mac, and Mandoo?? Does that even sound fair to you, business owner? Sounds like you owe my daughter money.

    I was super excited to see that they opened up in Hawaii Kai! They're in the same shopping plaza as Safeway, right next to Liko's. I had read that they make each order fresh and that it typically takes 20 minutes, so I called my order in. The person who took my order said it'd be 10-15 min, but it was definitely 20+ min. It's a small place with 4-5 tables inside. It seemed that all of the customers who came in were getting their orders to go. They had K-Pop playing on the TV screen while you wait! This was my first time at a Von's chicken, although I love Korean chicken! I went with the chicken plate for $11.99, which comes with 4 bone-in chicken wings (I chose the shoyu flavor based on the reviews), rice, corn, 2 pieces of mandoo and kimchi. The chicken was crunchy and flavorful. It was also very juicy! It had a nice sweetness to it. I'd definitely return to try some of their other flavors! The corn tasted like it came out of a can, but the mandoo was crunchy and the kimchi was amazing! Right now they're offering free fries if you check in on Yelp. They're string fries and nothing to write home about, but hey, they're free! Definitely check them out if you're in the Hawaii Kai area. They also have several other locations on the island.

    I've been seeing Vons pop up on my Yelp for a while. On a very hungry day off, as I was passing through Kaimuki, I just had to try it. To tell the truth, the parking here is quite terrible. I was lucky to come on a weekday and during lunch. You have to pull into the driveway from the street that goes up toward St Louis heights. I can easily see someone getting blocked in or having a hard time getting out. I had a hard time getting out of the parking and back onto Waialae since it's such a busy street. Anyway, besides the parking, the chicken here is amazing. It's that Korean fried chicken kind of restaurant. Kind of similar to the restaurant bbq chicken in Kahala. I got the original and it was great. Nice and crispy and not spicy at all. My husband got the spicy wings and he loved it. The ride home with the chicken in my passenger seat was torture. The smells of the delicious chicken driving from Kaimuki to Hawaii Kai made my stomach rumble even more. We will definitely go back again. Can't wait to try other things.

    Snow boneless plate
    Mari T.

    First time here and it was good. Food was made fresh (chicken was so hot it melted the stytofoam!) Mandoo seem frozen but still tasted good. Got a plate which has a good amount of chicken (I don't like bones so I got boneless). Plate comes with a large portion of rice, some corn (canned but decent), and 2 mandoo. I tried the "snow" flavor which it says is onion/cheese. It was good, slightly sweet, but I wanted more flavor. The chicken was cooked well though with lots of meat and not too much fat. The picture of the plate has mac salad but when I asked he said the only have corn now. It was fast, hot, and tasty so all around a good experience. The parking is difficult though with a very small lot and it was all full so I had to park down the street and walk a bit. It looked very clean too.

    Vons chicken is a franchise, but we are from the east coast so we don't have it there to try. We wanted crispy fried chicken and we ordered spicy steamed chicken flavor. Oh it def had a kick to it since I haven't had spicy food due to my pregnancy. The chef in the back messed up our order and did mild for us, then mixed it with spicy. The lady in the front gave us spicy dipping sauce on the side but told us the milk has a sour taste to it and apologized. It wasn't a big deal to us. The service was great and the restaurant looks super clean! I also ordered the Baja corn and it wasn't good at all. :9 for order it! They are known for the chicken not corn' If I was a local I wouldn't mind eating this chicken again but trying the garlic chicken with the spicy sauce on the side !

    My kids love Korean Fried Chicken.... So we were excited that Vons open up on Waialae.... We wanted to buy the full order but mixed the flavors but unfortunately it's not allowed. The original fried chicken was good but the kids said it tasted like Popeyes so I don't know if we can take it as a compliment or not.....

    It tastes like it was fried in old oil. It's expensive and doesn't taste good. It tastes different from other Vons Chicken locations.

The atmosphere here is elegant and welcoming and the food is excellent and the ban chans served here are better than any other Korean restaurant in Honolulu. We enjoy coming here and never smell like BBQ when we leave, LOL, due to efficient fans and AC's. Their marinated Kalbi is some of the best I have every had, way better than any LA Kalbi and we recommend it. All the soups are good and generous.

The chicken was okay, but not something I'd order again. The spicy sauce was drenched all over the chicken and was very spicy. The regular crispy chicken didn't have enough salt for me and was overcooked.
