    Half order of spicy crispy chicken
    Theresa D.

    This place is my favorite place for Korean fried chicken. The chicken has a good crunch and the pickled daikon is the perfect side to cut through the greasy flavor. My bf and I shared the half order and it was 9 pieces altogether? A good amount, I was content. My bf wanted to order another half order bc it really hit the spot. I love that I don't have to go all the way to Sunnyvale for Vons fried chicken. There's tables inside, good for small parties.

    Where's the sauce.

    I just experience the most uncomfortable at Vons chicken. We visited many Vons location through out the Bay Area, but this by far the worst experience. Visited this place on Friday, December 13 at 8:20 pm. I understand that this location closes at 9:00 pm. We ordered and food came out fairly quickly. Asked for more sauce cause the sauce did not cover the chicken. You must pay, said the very annoyed and rude cashier..uhh...ok. 2 minutes before 9:00 pm, the rude, annoyed cashier comes and said we close at 9:00 pm, pack your shit and leave (she didn't say that but that's what she was implying) and started cleaning up loudly around us, 409 sprayed, chairs staking, curtains pulled, I get the point. Well, I can't say that 7 of us can quickly eat 2 full portion, plus sides and three rice bowls in 20 mins. If they close in-restaurant dining, then that should've been advise rather than kick us out mid-way through the meal. We would have ordered togo. That was both uncomfortable and awkward. Also, they had a few togo orders they were not yet picked up so why kick us out when they are still waiting for the pickups? Will we come back her again, absolutely not. They just loss 7 customers and lots of $$$ that are foodie. Goodbye Vons Hostetter.

    Crispy Honey Butter
    Linh D.

    I'm a fan of Vons Chicken and I would love to give this place a higher rating, but unfortunately this specific location just doesn't quite hit the mark for me. I took my bf to Vons Chicken in Milpitas last time we went, and he fell in LOVE with their cheddar fries. We decided to get Vons for dinner Sunday night. We were planning to go to the same location but saw that they permanently closed down and the next closest one was this location. We ordered a half combo crispy honey butter. The cashier asked us whether we were eating here or to-go, and we said for here. I'm not sure why that mattered because they still ended up packing the food in a closed box which just ruined the crispy texture. The fries weren't as crispy and the taste was just off. Same with the chicken. I asked my bf if it was just me, but he agreed the other location was better. Big sad :( Don't get me wrong, Vons Chicken is still good, but it's hard to give this specific place a higher rating after my experiences at other locations. I would maybe give this place 4 stars if I didn't know any better.

    I absolutely love Vons Chicken! Their chicken is so crispy and juicy, it's my favorite. I typically get soy garlic and fries, and it's delicious! Usually when I go in, there aren't a lot of other customers. I've noticed a lot come in for take out/to go orders. The employees are so kind and nice every time I've gone, which makes things that much better. I'm so glad there's a Vons Chicken so close to me!

    Crispy "Yang Nyeom" and Crispy Garlic Soy Glaze
    Thaila N.

    This was my first time trying the Yangnyeom flavor, which was sweet and spicy. I don't have a high spice tolerance, and the medium level was just the right amount of spice for me. I am notably a person who LOVES sauce, but our Crispy Yangnyeom Chicken wings were a little TOO saucy. Don't get me wrong, the sauce was delicious, but there was just too much of it. The Crispy Fried Chicken boneless wings had the opposite experience. The garlic soy glaze was hardly noticeable in flavor. The wings were super dry and very hard to chew, it almost felt like they were a day old. My dad said the fried calamari was dry too. The best part of the meal was the sweet potato fries, which had a good balance of crispy and soft fries. Was not very impressed by this Vons location, and will probably not be back.

    Amazing customer service and good crispy chicken are so damn food. I would said the garlic crispy chicken that they have is lit. Rice cake and noodles is also very good too

    HALF Crispy Fried Chicken w/ Soy Glaze on Side
    Kelli K.

    Came to the restaurant on a Friday night. It wasn't busy inside, but they had some to go orders. We ordered the Full and Half Crispy Chicken with Soy Garlic Sauce on the Side. Our Vons chicken order was delicious! Especially with the Homemade Creamy Onion sauce. The chicken was perfectly crispy and tasted great! The one thing that bothered me about my order was that they didn't include the pickled radish. This was the second time this happened with my order. I had to make sure to ask them for the radish before I left with the order otherwise they wouldn't have given it to me again.

    Half cheese buldak
    Kate X.

    We came here on a Saturday lunch, and the restaurant was empty except for the occasional people getting pickup. Between the 7 of us, we shared 3 half combos - original fried chicken, garlic fried chicken, and spicy cheese buldak. The garlic was pretty good and I really liked the garlic topping. Meanwhile, the cheese buldak had a lot of cheese melted over lean chicken and rice cakes. I liked how this Vons included rice cakes in their buldak and not chicken skin, I only wished it was slightly spicier.

    a plate of wings and a bowl of sauce
    Regina D.

    Vons KFC is perfectly fried and full of flavor that it can be eaten as is. Each order comes with a side of pickled radish and it acts as a palette cleanser. It is a little bit pricey pero no regrets. 5/5 Crispy fried chicken- so crispy and juicy! Definitely a crunch to each bite. 4/5 Yangnyeom chicken- crispy even when tossed with sauce! loved the kick of spiciness but the sauce was a tad too sweet for my liking

    [During Omicron] I'm certainly a fan of this franchise. Located in a pretty big plaza, you can find this restaurant. With the big plaza, there is plenty of parking. The restaurant isn't too big, but of the ones I visited, it's pretty average. I visited right around opening on a weekday, so there wasn't a wait. I got my go-to-order, Half Crispy Yangyum boneless, but with a side of Rice Cakes. It didn't take long to receive my order. I believe there was indoor seating available, but there's also a few tables outside, of which I opted for, for a little bit more safety. Like the other locations, you get a lot for a half order. The boneless was breaded breast meat. Both the sauce and the chicken were good, the breading having crunch to it and wasn't soggy. The rice cakes were also good, and surprisingly a 3rd type of preparation in comparing the other locations I've been to. The rice cakes were pretty traditional, boiled and covered in sauce. The staff was nice. I did have a bit of a run in with trying to buy a soda after my initial order. For some reason, I thought I could get by with just the food, but I really wanted a soda. They do have a minimum to use credit card, of which I didn't meet, nor had enough cash. It is store policy, but the struggle to find decently priced soda in this plaza was a thing. If you're in the area, this is a reliable franchise for Korean Fried Chicken. Check them out.

    This is lunch special actually comes with 5pcs but couldn't wait and realized I didn't take a pic L3. (Oven Chicken) 5pcs Wings

    Vons has been my first introduction to Korean fried chicken! Omg is the best thing ever! Chicken is so crispy and moist inside. We always order the mild crispy soy chicken and ask for Vons special sauce which is thick. sweet and spicy. You also get pickled radish with your order. Oh the cuts is wings and drumstick and boneless pcs. So don't expect other pcs. But I do have to say they are good size pcs. Other wing places I have to question why wings are so small. As if they were Cornish hen pcs. Since this is made to order, it's fresh out of the fryer and a bit of a wait. If taking out call in your order so you don't have to wait. This location has few tables to eat in. You order and prepay first and they bring it to you. I love Vons chicken! I've tried other Korean chicken places but always go back to Vons. The original one is in Santa Clara so I was happy when this place opened up in San Jose. Would be even better if they opened one in the evergreen area of San Jose. Hint hint

    Vons Special Sauce Chicken
    Krista D.

    Who loves Korean fried chicken here? The chicken wings were cooked fresh and quite large! They have fried chicken and oven chicken in all flavors you can think of. We personally preferred the crispy fried chicken over the vons special sauce chicken just because we like the crunch of the skin haha. They also provided extra sides like cheddar powder, honey butter, yangnyeom sauce. Two orders were more than enough for 2 people and we even had leftovers! If you haven't tried them yet, you need to! What we got: Crispy Fried Chicken, Vons Special Sauce Chicken

    This location is new to me Looks clean as I can see. KFC is their thing, Happiness will bring. That "K" is not Kentucky but Korean You'll love if especially if you're Bohemian! Honey Butter is dope So fatty but you'll cope! Crispy and sweet Isn't that a treat? Joined together with rice, That combo is really nice! Onion Rings were really good too But kind of oily that made me blue It was expected from something fried Don't worry, no one cried. So many different kinds of chicken on their menu and I am a fan of their venue. I should really try the others but I'm conflicted...boo Honey butter is what I'm addicted to.

    Ask the Community - Vons Chicken

    Would I be able to order anything thats not spicy at all? Also how many pieces are in a full or half chicken order? If I want both wings and drums to choose the combo? Thank you.

    YES, they have every level of spic or non-spice and the servers will ask your preference of hand. I highly recommend this spot. It's in a way a hidden jewel of Fremont.

The stone pot bibimbap was also delicious, with crispy rice on the bottom and fresh, flavorful toppings. The soft tofu soup was hot, comforting, and full of flavor. The restaurant was very clean, cozy, and welcoming. The side dishes were fresh and tasty, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit.

I've tried it at other restaurants, and none come close to the flavorful, tender version from SJ Omogari. My friend and I had lunch at SJ Omogari yesterday. The tables seemed very close together. It's good for the restaurant to get more people, but it felt a little closed in for my personal space preferences. This was my friend's first visit, and she loved it! I ordered Meat Jun (duh), and we shared a dumpling tofu soup. I was feeling bold, so we asked for medium spicy. I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom. SJ Omogari is on the pricy side, but still worth it. Go!
