Crispy Padak Chicken (Lunch)
Michele T.

Lunch specials! I chose the Crispy Padak Chicken with fries and coleslaw for $15.99. Took a while for our orders to arrive, but the order came with 3 BIG drumsticks which were served crispy and piping hot. Good flavor to the drumsticks and the order itself was quite filling.

Similar to the location in Sunnyvale that is very popular. I usually get a FULL order of oven-baked boneless chicken with the Vons sauce on the side. The spicy Von's sauce is really good if you like spicy food. The honey Parmesan fried chicken drumsticks are also really good, they are like a treat of savory and sweet together. I would order from DoorDash again.

B. Crispy Fried Chicken (Half)
Andreas G.

This time we tried the crispy chicken with soy garlic flavor. We got the half order and that was easily enough for two. We chose the mixture of wings and drumsticks. The chicken is very nicely breaded and really crunchy and I liked the soy garlic seasoning. I preferred the wings as they are a bit crispier. We got a nice table outside and some sodas to enjoy our chicken. Was a nice satisfying lunch and would come back again for some more fried chicken. Overall I liked the fried chicken better than the oven chicken.

I m truly disappointed with my fellow yelpers. How can anyone rate them 3 or more stars? Aside from the service, there was nothing good at this place. 1. Their kimchi fried rice was a joke. No kimchi whatsoever, basically, white rice mixed with kimchi juice. 2. The rice cake was way too spicy and was deep fried... what??!! It was really dry and some were even hollow from overcooking (picture tells a 1000 words) 3. The garlic chicken sauce had no garlic flavors and was overly sweet. Chicken was dry. 4. The honey butter chicken was basically sprinkled with powder butter and sugar...yuck! Not to mention the chicken was also dry

Garlic boneless chicken

The cheese buldak here is sooooo good. The chicken is kinda spicy, but the layer of melted cheese helps to cut down the spice. It's perfect for a cold night. The garlic chicken here is also crispy and tasty.

Extra Spicy Sauce (a must-try if you love spicy food like I do!) and radish (a perfect accompaniment to the chicken!)
Amy K.

Never disappoints! I absolutely love this Korean fried chicken spot, Vons Chicken is my favorite chain! The downtown Redwood City location is amazing; I'm not sure why, but they always cook the chicken to perfection, with the crispiest coating, and the sauce is absolutely amazing!

7. Cheese Buldak
Brandi H.

I was looking for a korean chicken place in Redwood City and stumbled upon Vons Chicken in downtown. My friend and I wanted to try it out since it was close by. It is a small restaurant and they have outdoor seating. It seems like most of their orders are takeout. Cheese Buldak (5/5): This was pretty good. The chicken was nice and tender. It was spicy but not too spicy. I loved the rice cakes in the dish. It came with a side of pickled radish and a slaw. The portion was good for the price as well. It did take a while to come out of the kitchen but understandable because it probably needs to be broiled to melt the cheese on top. This is definitely going to become a go to spot for chicken! The service was good as well. They have an online ordering system if you want to do pick up.

Soy glazed Crispy Fried Chicken and onion rings.
Saemlinh I.

I came here once back in 2022 and wondered why I'd been missing out on such a phenomenal joint all this time. Their chicken is made to be perfectly crispy, chicken is juicy, and the seasoning hits all the right notes for me. When we came back with our kids in 2024, they weren't terribly impressed by my selection BUuUT they were gaga for the Soy (garlic) fried chicken. As in we had to order another batch of that. So it really was a win for all of us. Great customer service every time as well! (FYI the picture is of our Husky puppers enjoying their time in the outdoor seating!)

Crispy Yangnyeom Chicken Half
Renee L.

I stopped by to try their lunch deal which was 15.99. I got the crispy yang-nyeom sauce with two drums, two wings, and fries. The sauce was sweet and you can adjust the spice level which I ordered the medium. I think the next time I come here I would order a more savory sauce just due to taste preferences. I also should've got the sauce on the side since it wasn't as crispy due to it. The fries were crispy and not too salty. I did a pick-up order but the worker I interacted with was nice. There is not a lot of seating indoors but more outdoors.

Redwood City downtown is kinda small and half of the stores have closed down but they do try to have a variety of different cuisines. I appreciate all the shaded outdoor seating with some streets being closed off from traffic. Parking is $1 per hour. It's nice to see Von's here and the lunch plate is not a bad deal for $15.60. The spicy wings have a good amount of heat. I prefer the flats vs drumette. Flats are juicier and drumsttes were more dry like breasts. Also ordered the Crispy YANG-NYUM Chicken for $20 you get half a chicken and I decided to go with combo which is 5 drumsticks with 3 wings. Their spicy level could use another level to kick it up a notch for spice lovers like me. All in all, the amount of food was good. Von's chicken always has a nice crunchy coating and their chicken is perfectly marinated. Service was attentive. Wait was minimal. Place was casual. This is definitely one of the better options in Redwood city

French Fries
Jeanette N.

Sooo crispy and soo good! Came here with a party of 5 on a Friday night. We wanted some good fried chicken and this place didn't disappoint. Dining area was a bit small and ordering can get overwhelming if there are a bunch of people in line waiting for their to-go orders. But we ordered a good amount of chicken and fries to snack on. Highly recommend the boneless ssam chicken as it comes with tons of veggies and pickled radish so you don't feel too guilty eating fried food at the end of the night! We also had tteokbokki (rice cakes) which I thought were okay. I try to be mindful of my waste and didn't like that there were tons of disposable containers used to store our ketchup, coleslaw, and pickled radish. But the food was still amazing for a solid 4 stars! Our total came out to $160 for a group of 5. Great deal for the feast we had.

First timer trying this Korean Fried Chicken spot in the heart of RWC. I've seen it else where but not locally so when I saw it, I said we have to try it. We ordered at the cashier and we were seated outside on the patio on a nice day, along with my dog. We ordered the crispy fried honey butter and real garlic chicken and cheddar cheese balls. I was shocked how no one told me how good this fried chicken was. I love me some fried chicken. Now that I've been here I will be back!

Got super busy while we were there though. They no longer have you preorder while awaiting your table so less pressure for ordering but slower process overall. I gave this place a much lower review because of 3 things. 1) the flavor seems to have taken a hit and isn't as good. 2) the prices here are $$$ and it seems like they give you less meat now...so I get it inflation but pretty painful for the wallet 3) the bathroom was extremely filthy and not cleaned in awhile (does not bode well for the cleanliness of the kitchen) Beef brisket suyuk (3.5/5) Not enough brisket. Bone broth was rich but not much umami. Felt like I could've made this at home at a much lower cost naengmyeon (4/5) The cold broth used to be way more flavorful. Not enough beef umami. But it was cold and refreshing and the meats and pickled veggies were great together Overall, I'm not sure I have to come back. I'm onto finding other Korean spots that don't overcharge for the hype.

Looks on brand with the Hanok style. The interior is pretty casual and spacious. I have gotten Yuk Gae Jang both times which has been yummy! It's not too spicy, but still full of flavor and very comforting. I love that they come with a small selection of banchan and rice. The set was $25 flat which is appropriately priced. There are a lot of parking lots around the area that are easily accessible or parking on the street if it's not too busy. But the restaurant is in a Main Street, I wouldn't recommend parking in front because there's always congestion. Definitely recommend if you're craving Korean food and happen to be in the area.

Inside is clean and staff are fast and polite. Unlike other places they offer to remove the bones and cut/mix the dish for you after they bring it out. Good portion of meat and clear noodles. My only issue was there was a lack of sauce. When it first came out the majority of the liquid was already cheesy, and by the time we were half way through all of the sauce had absorbed into the meat and noodles. I like to spoon sauce over my rice so I was a bit disappointed overall with their Galbijjim.

The space is very nice, casual yet inviting. Service was also good, attentive young staff. No issues with either. I went pretty early on a Saturday evening and it filled up pretty quickly within the hour. The menu is small, honestly was expecting a bit more choices. I ordered the "popular" dish, Jajangmyeon- and was excited to try it finally! Unfortunately I found it to be very bland. I asked for hot sauce to see if I could spice up the flavor but it only made it "hot". Maybe I was eating it wrong? We also got the stir-fried vegetable noodles which were much tastier! And also the sweet and sour chicken, I appreciated that they brought the sauce on the side. Unsure if I'll return, unless I have a Korean friend to come with! Any takers?

Since the food was catered, unfortunately I was unable to see the robots cooking in action, but fortunately was able to taste the final products. I was able to try the Wagyu galbi (short ribs), dak galbi (marinated chicken), Seoul food bowl (stir-fried pork belly and shrimp), and japchae, served with their corn salad, kimchi, and white rice. The Wagyu galbi was very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables; though I enjoyed the inclusion of lotus root, the veggies seemed like borderline filler to skimp out on meat. The dak galbi was also flavorful though spicy, and again the inclusion of rice cakes seemed like filler. The pork belly and shrimp were delicious, and I liked that the pieces of pork belly I had didn't have an overpowering amount of fat. The japchae was pretty standard and was nice to balance out the meat. I enjoyed the corn salad because it added a creamy component to my meal. The kimchi got lost in the mixture of food in my bowl and the rice was cooked perfectly by the robot. Overall, I enjoyed the food prepared by OLHSO Truck. Unfortunately, since the food was catered and already prepared when I arrived, I cannot comment on the service or wait times provided by the staff. I would consider ordering food from the truck if I am craving Korean fusion type of food and am too lazy to dine in at a local Korean restaurant. If the food from the truck is a good representation of the restaurant in downtown San Mateo, I am more inclined to try the restaurant for a nice sit down dining experience.

The premium meat selections are definitely worth it if you want to get the most out of your Korean BBQ experience. The only downside was the ventilation system. It didn't seem to be working very efficiently, so smoke from the grill occasionally lingered around our table. By the end of the meal, our clothes and even our faces smelled like grilled meat. Aside from the ventilation issue, everything else was great. Excellent service, delicious meat, and a solid Korean BBQ experience. I'd definitely recommend this spot, especially if you opt for the Premium Menu!
