1x hella my top - crispy / yangnyeom/ garlic Music was good and service was nice overall I would come back for sure

Crispy Fried Chicken (Full) wings only!
Therese J.

This location, specifically, is consistent with their crispy fried chicken we often order for pick up to take home for dinner for those nights we don't feel like cooking! The consistency is what keeps us coming back and service too! It is always a pleasure when every worker we've dealt with has a smile on their face upon entering the establishment. The ambiance is upbeat with music bumpin all the time! The dining area is always clean. Terry is always a pleasure and very friendly too! You won't be disappointed!

I love the pickled daikon!

I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed this place yet - but here goes. I've been ordering from Vons Chicken for at least a couple of years and this is my favorite location. It's on the way from work when I go home, so it's also a convenient location as well. I usually order ahead and it's ready when I get there (10-20 mins, depending on which chicken I order). I've tried most of the flavors and my favorite is the spicy yangnyum - it has a good amount of heat, but it's not overpowering. I also enjoy the fries - cheddar, honey butter and sweet potato fries. I usually go for extra crispy and every single flavor has been great. I love how the flavor is infused into the chicken and every bite is delicious. The fries could be crispier, but that's my preference - they are good as is. Service has always been quick and friendly when I've picked up my order. I've never ate in the restaurant, but it seems like a good place to chat and hang out. Every time I've been here - people are sitting around and seem to be enjoying their meals. There is quiet music playing and plenty of seating available. Everything also looks very clean and calm.

Crispy Padak Chicken (Lunch Special)
Maggie L.

Grabbed takeout lunch from Von's Chicken in Saratoga and it definitely hit the spot! We ordered the Paldak Chicken--the one topped with green onions--and it was delicious. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the generous layer of fresh green onions added a nice kick while making it feel just a little bit healthier (gotta love getting your veggies in, right? ). Service was great too! The staff was super helpful and answered all our questions with patience and a smile, even though we were ordering to-go. Overall, tasty food, friendly service, and a smooth pickup process. Will definitely be back to try more!

We love the padek flavor chicken and the honey butter fries!
Gina D.

We love Vons and are so glad they opened one in Saratoga!! The chicken was so good and the honey butter fries are really addicting. Great and friendly service, and there's seating for about 22 people inside and 12 outside. They were also so sweet and gave our kids balloons during their grand opening!

Kimchi Steam and Fried Rice Crispy Real Garlic (Lunch  Special)
Anne S.

Kimchi sunny side up fried rice with tasty lemony garlic chicken was perfectly made with purple daikon radish. Wonderful place n I've tried the Mountain View one before too. Thanks Dominic for your excellent service!

Crispy wings and legs!  Von's Saratoga!  For great fried chicken, tasty varieties, very friendly and helpful customer service! Thank you!

Menu showing options and NO MENTION OF SAUCES OR GLAZES
Andrea B.

We came here because Vons Chicken on Branham Lane Closed. The menu here offers Fried Chicken. No Crunch Chicken like the other Vons locations. Also, the menu Clearly Does Not Mention Any Sauce for the fried chicken. (See photos) And the cashier did not mention any sauce. But the Fried Chicken was coated in a glaze/sauce which is not at all what we wanted or expected. It tasted fine but I would not order it again. The cashier did not understand why the sauce missing from the menu is a problem. The store was clean. The service was otherwise nice. But this is not the Vons like the other locations.

Crispy Yangnyeom (Lunch Special)
Louis K.

- Chicken is freshly cooked, not refried or left cold in the warmer. It was very juicy and crispy. - Fries are also freshly prepared, very hot and crispy, fluffy. - I asked for Mild. And it really is mild, which is great. I got annoyed with other Korean fried chicken places when their mild was still too spicy - The restaurant is very clean, neatly organized. The amount of food I got for their lunch special for 12.99 is really amazing. I would visit again with friends next time.

Cute Interior
Nika N.

Really delicious & yummy chicken here! Vons doesn't fail me when it comes to their crispy chicken. For this location specifically, sometimes it does feel like it's hidden, due to it being in the same plaza as Mitsuwa & Kinokuniya, just on the other side. But I think it's worth the visit, especially when you're crazing some small munchies. The service I got with my friend was super sweet, the staff were very nice. There is parking right in front of their location & the restroom was kept clean too.

Our order came out within 15 minutes after the kiosk order and everything thing was hot. Fries chickens were crispy. Ttokboggi was good as expected but having it together with the fries chicken balanced the fried food. Glad we did not add French fries. The place was not crowded at all and so it was a nice experience.

Crispy Fried with Honey Butter (Half)
Cindy N.

Dominic was knowledgeable and kind to accommodate to the trending flavor "Prinkle" in Korea. I ordered the honey butter and he put in a Cheddar flavor extra to replicate the "Prinkle". So very kind and the restaurant was clean! I love dining here and connecting with the employees!

Amelin N.

Great chicken, and rarely ever busy. The honey butter wings are a must try! Ordered over the phone for pick up and it was super quick and easy. You could also order online or on the kiosk inside. Took barely any time for the order to be ready and it tasted fresh. The pickled radish also tasted good and did not stink too much (unlike some other places). Wished the honey butter seasoning was tossed more evenly as I would've preferred it to be coated on all sides vs just the top even though it was a generous portion of seasoning.

I've tried all their chicken options, and Hainan is still the winner for me. It pairs so well with their chicken rice and broth. My favorite sauces are definitely the Thai Ginger Soy and Sesame Teriyaki. I also like adding fried tofu once in a while. This one was super crispy on the outside and soft and airy inside. I just wish they offered peanut sauce instead of sweet chili, but it was still good! The regular box is the perfect portion for me, and the fresh ingredients and flavors are exactly why I keep coming back. Their chicken wings, on the other hand, were kinda meh. I got them during a DoorDash promo, so it was still a good deal, but as a big fan of fried bone-in chicken, these didn't really wow me. The batter was super thin and didn't feel fully coated or crispy enough. The meat texture was also a little off, I'm guessing the wings might have been boiled before frying, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'll stick with my regular Hainan box from now on. Still my go-to whenever I'm craving chicken and rice!

This place blew my expectations away with their simple but clean establishment, delicious not greasy and fresh food, and very nice staff who literally welcome you as you step in. The staff asked us if it was our first visit and took the time pleasantly to explain what their levels of spicy equated to, which was helpful because my colleagues had a change of mind after sampling the "Hot" version. The place was easy to find, and parking was a non-issue so a win/win there. Give it a try!

Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!
