Located at waimalu shopping center, looks like they are connected with Palama market. There is no chairs to wait for your order or any place to dine in. The wait time for your order is 15-20mins long. Amazing to find a selection of wings to choose from. The crispy shoyu was delicious. The crispy snow looked ok. The crispy garlic was not appealing. I like my garlic chicken in shoyu garlic style sauce and not bits of chunks of garlic on my wings. The wings are quite pricey! But goes well with a musubi. read more

Lately I've been in the mood for some fried chicken. They have a variety of flavors, crispy honey butter, crispy sweet chili, crispy snow, crispy fried, crispy shoyu, crispy seasoned, and crispy garlic. Placed my order here for 12 pc crispy garlic chicken. Took about 20 mins until my order was ready. Was served hot and fresh. The chicken was crispy and good but I feel like the crispy garlic lacked garlic flavor. I expected it to be more garlic-y. Quality itself is good with pretty big portions of chicken wings. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Food was prepared upon ordering. It came out piping hot from the fryer. I ordered the 12 pc Shoyu and 12 pc Sweet Chili. Both were excellent. Tossed with enough sauce on the wings, they were large wings, crispy, and hot even after driving home. We can't wait to go back and order more. read more

We ordered 18 pieces of honey cheddar. The snow chicken looked good too. We also ordered some mild rice cakes. We waited 20 minutes by going shopping next door at the Korean market. Couldn't be more pleased. Chicken was piping hot. Rice cakes were fried and then dipped in mild sauce. Never had it that way but it was very good! read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - I got 3 of the most popular ones. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

We ordered some chicken wings for Super Bowl from here because we heard it was good. There was a line out the door and the place was slammin. The owner was working so hard with only one other employee. The wings were DELICIOUS. good size wings, nice and crispy on the outside and the sauces were incredible. We got the chili flavor and the cheesey butter wings. Will definitely be back. This place is small and doesn't have much staff so be patient! It's with the wait! read more

Disappointed in the time and service. I wouldn't come back. Ordered food next door ate and came back and still haven't had our order. We only ordered 12 pieces of wings and waited over 30 minutes. read more

My experience here is always really good. The food is amazing and I always get the honey butter chicken. The kimchi fried rice and the bottom chicken is not from here but from a Korean restaurant in H-mart. Make sure to phone order if you don't want to wait! read more

Awesome chicken! Easy to find location with lots of parking. The service was quick and pretty easy. They offer a variety of different flavors and options of bone-in/boneless. Their seasonings are all great. I had the honey flavor and one of the spicier ones also aswell as the dumplings. Some of the best fried chicken I had on the island! read more

Wongs cooked perfectly and on time. Ordered on line- but should have used their app. It's a one person operation so it's more take out place small & clean - they do have area in th market to eat . read more

Prices are pretty high, but chicken is good - so I'm okay with that. The thing that gets me is you have someone coughing while taking your order. Plus you would think if you spend almost a $100 that they would give you a bag. I was willing to pay the &0.30 but she said I didn't indicate I wanted a bag when ordering on the screen ‍ read more

Food - chicken was yummy, just the perfect amount of spice. Corn was meh, tasted like it list came out of a can. The mini mandoo was good. It would have been better with a dipping sauce but it didn't come with any. Is it just me that love mandoo with dipping sauce? Well, I thought it was a mistake so I went up to the counter. The lady said it doesn't come with sauce and if I wanted sauce it'll be $1. Wait , what?! No, thank you. The cost of 2 plates plus tip came up to almost $30 and not even a small container of dipping sauce? -1 star Service- the lady at the counter wasn't too friendly. She just got off the phone taking an order. Maybe she was tired? An after thought for me, "I should have just ordered at the kiosk" to avoid the unfriendliness. When I went up to ask for the dipping sauce, there was no one at the front and there were a few people waiting. I could see the lady and another younger lady behind the curtain. No acknowledgment, no "we will be right with you", no "thank you for your patience" -1 star Ambiance- when you walk in from their "main door", it's literally an area for you to stand in line (if there was a line). The tables and chairs are shared in a common area with other food venues. This is all inside the Asian market. There's the Mexican place, which I want to try next time and there's also a Korean place. There were maybe 6 tables with 4 chairs each. There was a counter with 4 chairs. It was a bit warm sitting there, you can't feel the AC much. Out of their control so keeping the stars at 3. Would I come here again? Maybe. If I did, I'd come for only the chicken. $12.99 for a chicken plate with 4 bone in chicken pieces, rice, bland corn, and two mini mandoo without dipping sauce OR $17.99 for 10 pcs of chicken. read more

I went today to pick up half order of their Honey butter wings. I prefer their dry rubs and this one was so good! Truly hits the spot! It's mix between savory and a bit sweet! I also ordered regular fries to go too. Fries were ok but the wings were delicious! read more

Idk if it's just what I ordered or what. But I did not care for their chicken. We got the garlic and a Honey butter plate. The garlic plate , the thing I liked most was the rice being covered in the sauce, the chicken itself didn't have flavor inside but the skin was ok. For the butter, it was weird. On top I believe they put sugar or something. I just wasn't use to it. For the pricing , I wouldn't eat this place again. Honestly I was very disappointed bc I had such high hopes for the chicken, maybe I should try a different location. read more

If you know...you know! Shoyu style for me pls! These small wings pack a lot of flavor! It's sweet and salty savory goodness is delicious. The chicken is juicy on the inside, the bread coat on chicken keeps the chicken really crunchy and the sauce is *chefs kiss!!! Reason for 4star, is the rice mochi thing. TBH you better off buying it from palama supermarket. Those Prepacked containers in the middle of the shopping center is yum! read more

Wow. Really great wings. Super great service. Located in HMart food court. Lots of tables. Clean. read more

The chicken was amazing! We ordered 4 different types of wings and all were delicious. It was a good idea to order online - it was ready right on time for an easy pick up. They were even open on Christmas which we appreciated. Would definitely come here again! read more

After leaving this review Hana reached out to me to offer a credit or refund because of our bad experience. I was surprised at how fast they reacted! I appreciate their customer service and that they took the time to call and text me. We've been to this Vons many times and only had this one bad incident. I'm glad that they care about their customer's experience because this makes me feel a lot better about continuing to order from here! read more

SLOW SERVICE!!! I placed my order at just after 5 pm. I showed up at 5:30 to pick up and I was told would be another 10 min. I could see in the back a huge pile of wings that needed only to be seasoned so I was surprised I needed to wait. Oh well no worries. 20 min later my order was still not ready. I live 5 min away so once I did receive my order I was shocked that my wings were cold. This was my second time having them. First time was amazing. I'll give them another try but at the prices they charge, I shouldn't have had cold wings. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Mild bone plate - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I have found my new favorite place for wings! This place imo has wing stop beat hands down! We stopped by tonight Wednesday, 3/9/2022 around 6:30 or so. There was no line and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I told him it was my 1st time there and he made a suggestion of their most popular item the #2 crispy shoyu wings. Sold!! I also wanted to try some other menu items so I ordered the regular mini mandoo, #6 crispy honey butter wings, regular fries, and radish. I was going to order a boneless chicken plate as well but was told that they were out of rice and boneless chicken, oh well maybe next time. Everything came out hot and fresh in about 20 minutes. The takeout container for the fries isn't ideal as there is no cover, it's simply a paper boat with aluminum foil inside and the fries on top. Honestly after tasting the fries I didn't ever care, needless to say they never made it home, lol. My husband and I devoured them all in a matter of minutes! They were so crispy and hot that when we were done I regretted not ordering 2. The chicken was amazing! I enjoyed both flavors but prefer the shoyu. The chicken is as the name states crispy and the inside is tender and juicy. The mini mandoo were also delicious and a great deal. I would definitely come back to try other flavors and get more fries but I just found out that they opened a location in Mililani Town Center, which is so much closer to home, so I might be writing my review for that location next hehehe. read more

My friend recommended this place a while ago so I always wanted to try. Since we were by Cutter Ford in Aiea, this was our chance. Looking over the menu, I wasn't sure what to order. I asked the counter person which flavor is their most popular...she said it was the Crispy Shoyu and Crispy Garlic so I ordered half order of each which consists of a total of 20 pieces. The chicken was crispy like it's name and both flavors were tasty! As you know, wings are small and doesn't have much meat so two bites and you're done with one piece so having 20 pieces is not a lot and for $1.50 to $1.60 a piece, it is pricey but would come back again when we're craving tasty wings! read more

11-6-2020 After dropping off the kiddies around 6 p.m., what's for dinner was on our minds. Rare opportunity for us to be in this area at night. As the driver, I suggested Vons as we had to pass this strip mall of eateries to get home. Had read a few reviews previously and about a 45 minute wait so told hubs, a non- yelper to call in the order. There was a recording and phone was not being picked up. Easy enough to just stop by. Glad we did: full order of crispy shoyu chicken and 2 cole slaws was placed with a 30 minute wait time announced. Perfect cuz we decided I could run an errand down the road and swing around to come back. Sure enough, our order was ready in the time quoted. At 6:30 ish on a Friday night, this place and its neighboring eateries were hopping. Customers going in, coming out with full plastic bags or waiting around outside. By 7 p.m. it was clear. Got home, cuz of Covid went to botcha first before grinding on some awesome wings. The full order had about 20 pieces in a cute little carton with picnic like red and white checkered lining tissue. Everything was subtle. Subtle light coating, subtly marinated prior to frying, subtle crunch, subtle amount of oil on your fingertips after devouring the delightful morsels of each piece. I always choose the winged parts more than the drumettes. Kinda sensual if you can call it that, to eat the meat between and around the two tiny bones then suck off the remaining edges. Okay, enough about that. You have to be a winged eater to know. The cole slaw was like a little parade of cut up veggies: cabbage, carrots, bits of red cabbage added in for color and a surprise sprinkling of corn niblets for a hint of crunchy sweetness. Would I return? Most definitely. Very enjoyable meal. When Hawaii moves to higher Tiers when larger gatherings are allowed, would make an excellent pupu for an easy potluck to bring. Til then, enjoy some Vons with your immediate family if you're in the vicinity. Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Crispy Sweet Chili - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Looking for some tasty, fulled flavored, delicious and mouth-filled chicken?! Ya'll this is it!! Hand's down one of the best chickens I've tasted. My husband & I love to try different chicken wing places and this is definitely our top 3! I found out this place by one of my best friends who mention about it and of course I had to yelp and check it out! Was not disappointed at all. They have a good amount of choices of flavors and they all sound soo amazing! So why not try it out?? Location: Sign is smaller than most, so definitely will be using your good eye sight for this one ya'll! Lol. It is located in the Waimalu Plaza right across between Best Buy Aiea & Cutter Ford. Lots of parking, no problem with that. In that long plaza, Von's chicken is located sorta in the middle. Like I mention the sign is a bit small. Its next to Palama Market. So once you see Palama Market, park around there.. It shouldn't be a far walk to Von's Chicken. Chicken: Big fan of the crispy shoyu and garlic flavor chicken. They do come in HALF & FULL. Half is consider 10 pieces, Full is 20 pieces. I can't describe enough how good it taste. You just gotta take my word for it and try it for yourself. Lol! Just remember what I said and how flavorful it is and it is quite juicy also! Go now after you read my review! Promise you won't regret it! Wait Time: If you're in rush or just hungry.. I suggest you call in about 20 mins before your planning on driving over there. If they aren't too busy, the wait time is 20-25 minutes. I'm telling you, they make a fresh batch as you order. Okay enough of me talking.. Go now and get ready to tell Priscilla how thankful you are for trying this place out! LOL Enjoy! :-) read more

Do you love chicken wings? Well, this is the place for you. It's located in the Waimalu Shopping Center. Plenty of parking. I ordered the Crispy Fried Garlic wing and the mini mandoo. The wings are made to order so you may have to wait a bit. Save time by calling in your order for pick up. The wings are awesome. Crispy. Flavorful and delicious. I can't stop eating them. The mandoo was also crispy. Standard Korean dumplings but went well with the chicken. They've got a lot of different sauces and sides. So I'm sure to try them all. Wing lovers will not be disappointed. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

One day I was looking through the different food delivery apps and saw Vons Chicken on Uber Eats. My family loves their chicken wings so we decided to order for dinner. We ordered full orders of the Crispy Shoyu and Crispy Snow chicken wings. Through Uber Eats, we paid about $4.50 more for each order and also a service fee, delivery fee, and tip which totaled about $30. Pricey, but it was worth the convenience of having our impromptu meal delivered from Waimalu to Mililani Mauka. The chicken wings arrived hot and fresh and were absolutely delicious! I especially liked the Crispy Snow which is a cheese and onion powder seasoning. We totally ordered too much, but the next day we popped them into the air fryer and they were made again excellent. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Crispy shoyu and snow - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Amazing Wings! By far one of the best wing places I've been to. This location is located in the Waimalu Shopping Center across of Best Buy. It has its own entrance, but also has a side entrance when you enter Pamala Supermarket. It's kind of a whole in the wall and doesn't really have an eating area to enjoy your chicken wings. I've notice, mostly everyone does take out. My favorite thing to get here is their #4, the crispy garlic. I love anything garlic. Their sauce they coat their chicken in is so flavorful I can probably finish a whole full order. I usually get a half order, which is around 10 chicken wings. Their sauce isn't too overpowering, but it good enough for you not to want a dipping sauce. I heard a lot of good raves about their other flavors, like their crispy shoyu and crispy snow flavors. I've been to Von's a few times, but I always order their crispy garlic flavor because it's that addicting. The only con is that it does take a while for the chicken to be cooked up, especially if it's busy. The few times I've been, I think the shortest wait time I waited was at least 20 minutes. It's not really a big deal because Palama Supermarket is right there for me to go in and browse. Definitely should do a phone order before you head over if you don't want to wait. Hoping to go soon again and will definitely try their different flavors. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Crispy Garlic - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I heard good things about Vons Chicken in Waimalu and wanted to try it for awhile now. The reason I'm giving them only 4 is how long it takes to get your food. The chicken was very crispy and full of flavor. I tried the Honey Butter and sweet chili. Both were delicious and flavorful. My only problem and it's probably my fault is you need to order prior to picking up your order. It literally took about 25 minutes after I ordered. They were very busy which I'm sure added to the delay. The owner did let me know it would be a wait. The restaurant was very clean and organized. Social distancing was enforced and no eating on premises. Parking is very hard. This shopping center is very busy with all the different great places to eat and the stalls are not to big. I will definitely eat here again, but I will and I recommend ordering in advance. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Menu signage - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

This place comes highly recommended as people have mentioned that this is the spot to come to. Located within Waimalu shopping center connected to Palama supermarket, it sits near a small food court within the supermarket. I ordered the Garlic Chicken boneless plate which was absolutely amazing. I loved the flavor and thought it was unique and served just right to perfection. The fries were 'orgasmically' addicting. This review would've gotten five stars, however my husbands plate was a different story. He ordered half a container of Garlic chicken wings with the bone in and when he tried a bite out of his first wing we both started to worry as the chicken was uncooked on the inside. Cooking chicken thoroughly is so important. Now being that it was our first time here, maybe it was just the lunch rush and so I went back and simply asked if at all feasible if it could be reheated in a microwave for a bit more just to put our minds at ease. I was met with the cashier who mentioned that they are unable to do so because they do not have a microwave. She looked at the pink chicken and said because he took a bite out of it that they wouldn't be able to take it back to reheat in oil. Yes that I can understand, but it may be useful to have a microwave so this situation could've been more easily fixed. Overall my plate was cooked well but left us pretty uncomfortable and disappointed in what we figured would be an amazing place to drop in for lunch. read more

3 stars is for the taste, which was good, had the crispy garlic, crispy snow and one other flavor, which for the life of me can't remember. Too pricey, for 3 half orders of 3 different flavors and an order of Snow fries paid $66....not worth the price. Could have had a dinner for 2, with appetizer, salad, entree and maybe dessert for that price. Highly recommend you call in your order, the wait was too long for take out. Stopped in Palama Market which Von's is attached to sort of for some groceries and since I never tried Von's decided on the spur of the moment to order and take some home. 2 people operating the place didn't even notice I was standing by the register to order for a good 5 minutes, they had a bell to ding next to the register that didn't work. When I finally ordered had to wait 20 min. for my order. Meh, it was alright, but nothing that would make me go out of my way to go there. read more

Walked into Palama Meat Market and did some shopping. The smells of fried chicken lured me into Vons. Anyone who knows me, knows I try fried chicken all over the place! It is always on my culinary travel to do list! Well, because I'm search of the best fried chicken that's why!! I ordered a half of the butter garlic wings (10 wings in a half) and a half spicy. Wings are like potato chips. Buy 20, you end up eating 20, buy 10 ....well you get the idea! I would've liked a bit more garlic in my butter garlic, but the spicy was spicy! I can tolerate spicy! It was good! I did pair them with some Kim bap from next door. It was a great finger food combo! (For the record, I did share!) read more

Meh Customer sevice was pretty horrible and the chicken wasn't worth the hype. Also, wayyy overpriced. One & done. read more

I come to Waimalu shopping center all the time and never tried Von's chicken! I guess I never had an urge for chicken wings. I got the chicken wing plate for $11.95 and the chicken wings were very good! I got the crispy snow (cheese and onion powder). They fry them fresh as you order so best to call your order in. I don't recommend the plate though, 4 wings is not enough to be full and the mandoo tasted horrible like dishwashing soap, I spit it out and dumped it. The corn was straight out of the refrigerator cold. Next time I'll skip the chicken plate and just order wings by itself. Five star for the chicken wings but thumbs down for the plate. read more

Von's Chicken is such a hot and tasty treat! We usually get the honey butter and/or the teriyaki, but tried the crispy garlic today. Eating them fresh is the best! Piping hot, crispy outside, tender and juicy inside, and the flavors are so good! Sometimes we just walk straight to the car and start one and can't stop! Order by phone, and usually takes about 20 minutes. read more

If you enjoy juicy, spicy chicken wings, this is the place for you. Honestly, I'm a big chicken when it comes to spicy food. So if you're like me, even mild will be hot. On my third garlic piece, my tongue was feeling numb. My family enjoyed Von's chicken wings. It is made fresh so that means after you order you'll be waiting for your food for about 15 minutes. I suggest calling it in. There's also eating area if you want to chow down right away. If you enjoy white, pickled radish they sell them for $1 in a sauce size container. They're refreshing. It is located right next to Palama supermarket. Parking is free. read more

Vons Chicken Waimalu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Kko kko or kkokkio. Either way, chickens are best deep fried. In this case, we're talking KFC so dipped in a garlicky sweetened soy sauce, add a heaping plateful of kim chee and buchu kimchee (garlic chives) for the health factor and the requisite ice cold Hite and a meal you have. How does this franchised, westernized chain stack up? 1. Large plump drumettes and wingettes. 2. Perfectly fried chicken. Very moist on the inside with a firm crisp coating on the outside that holds the crispness even after being dipped in the sauce. 3. Lots and lots of old oxidized garlic. Crispy shoyu and crispy garlic ordered. Solid value, $23.99 / $24.99 respectively for 20 wings. Easy phone ordering. Contactless payment on site. Ready at the promised time. So how much oxidized garlic? Suffice it to say, I never needed a shower as badly the next morning after a five mile run. read more

I feel like those who will want to try Vons will still go, regardless of the mixed reviews. Everyone has their preference of what "good" fried chicken tastes like. I can surely understand that for some, the 'crunch' is what holds the standard, where others want that punch of flavor throughout the meat and skin; flavor that leaves that sticky sauce all over your fingertips-- ya, that's me. I, personally, can only speak of my visit today... and it wasn't the best as some claim it to be. Whether I'd be commenting on the flavor as a whole or just the fact that it's known to be Korean Fried Chicken, I was 100% underwhelmed. To me, there was no distinct flavor difference from the Shoyu Fried or Garlic Fried. As previously influenced, if I'm going to order 'Garlic Korean Fried Chicken,' I better be having to keep a far distance of my loved ones after the fact! This, however, had almost no real garlic flavor, essence or aftermath to me. Do I have a cold and maybe lost my taste buds? I'm pretty sure, no lol but I kept inhaling like a crazy person cuz I was trying my hardest to catch the flavor! Do you do that? Lol Anyways... long story short. Maybe I'd try Vons again so I can eat it HOT AND FRESH. Just so they have a truly fair shot and rating. My wife went to grab it for dinner and we met at home to eat. Timelapse of about an hour. We did reheat it in the convention, however, and the crunch was still solid and no juices were in the box WHATSOEVER... so I can't imagine that the flavor may have possibly evaporated into thin air? Hahahah idk. Just saying. High hopes, not quite satisfied. Good crunch 100%. Flavor... ahhh... not so much. read more
