We were craving for Korean fried chicken wings and found this place in west San Jose. Their menu had crispy fried and non-fried options, and each had a few flavors to choose from. There were a few side dish choices too. We got the Yangnyeom flavor for fried combo of drumsticks and wings, as well as Tteokbokki. The wings/drumsticks were crispy on the outside and tender inside. The Yangnyeom flavor was sweet but paired well with the chicken. We got medium hot and it only had a very light hint of spiciness. The Tteokbokki portion was quite big and it had rice cake, fish cake, cabbage, and two dumplings. The sauce was slightly spicy but flavorful. Our cravings were satisfied. Definitely a nice place to have quick bites of Korean fried chicken. read more

Am I the only person who finds it strange that they identify "drums" as "wings?" I purchased the lunch special and $2 upgraded to "wings" and I received 3 drums and 2 wings, only for the store to double down and say that the drums are part of the whole wing so it's considered a "wing?" Someone fix this ludicrous menu term!! I still don't understand the upgrade and what exactly am I getting for the upgrade? The wings are ok. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Let me start off by saying I love me some fried chicken! We ordered the soy garlic glaze with fried chicken and let me tell you the flavoring is amazing! The chicken was fresh crunchy fully cooked and the flavors were 10 out of 10. We went with a mild sauce and it was perfect. The service was great and the restaurant was very clean and they were very fast! Will definitely be coming back here again. I highly recommend trying their food. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

- 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. read more

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. read more

The cutest note from the Vons Chicken staff and the best way to end the week. I've been ordering from here for a while now, and as a Korean, I love me some KFC. Lately nothing's really been hitting the spot... until my husband and I found this place in Saratoga! Their fried chicken is always perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I know I sound like a commercial, but I mean it. The service is always great and the quality of the food is always consistent. Plus, they're right next to Mitsuwa and other fun spots, so whenever we're craving KFC, this is our go-to. Would recommend 10/10. read more

We usually order the crispy fried wings, half mild and half spicy, and they're always packed with flavor, perfectly hot, and super crispy. We also love getting the fries, onion rings, and fried mandu -- everything is delicious every time. This Saratoga Vons is clean and has TVs for entertainment, but we usually grab our food to go. Orders are always ready quickly and packaged neatly, which we really appreciate. We absolutely love coming here and highly recommend it! read more

I got a chance to hit Vons on a Sunday right as they opened. I've been looking forward to this for a while. I left there with some mixed feelings. First off, the chicken is great! We got the extra crispy. The mandu was OK. If I ordered this again, I'd get it without any sauce or sauce on the side. The tteokboki was meh. Way overcooked, not enough veggies or spice. I know I shouldn't compare it to something you'd get at a sit-down Korean restaurant, but I was pretty disappointed it couldn't even compare to street-food level. Checking in and ordering at the kiosk was fine, the service was fine. But one thing that was kind of an issue is the lack of parking. The parking lot was bustling on a Sunday morning, but I was literally the only person in this restaurant. The ambiance was a little "Logan's Run" spooky. I think given any other circumstance, I would probably skip this entire shopping plaza, and go get a Popeye's down the street. read more

Delicious Korean fried and oven baked chicken. We got the crispy garlic and oven baked vons special and both were delicious. There was an amazing crunch on the fried chicken and the oven baked chicken had a really good cook. Careful with the portions though other wise you'll definitely be taking left overs! The music wasn't too loud and there's plenty of seats inside and out. Staff was friendly and helpful answering any and all questions. They also let me try the Padak and Yangnyeom sauces which I loved and need to get on my chicken next time. Definitely coming back soon! read more

Just yuck. We love Korean style fried chicken, but given all the positive reviews for Vons, maybe there are different styles and we weren't aware (and we've eaten at many places). We ordered the honey crispy, the garlic cruspy and the oven baked with Vons sauce. The Honey one (I assume) tasted like circus funnel cake on chicken. It was gross...I just spit it out. I can see how someone might like that, but the texture and flavor tasted cheap and fake. And the skin was a light flaky crisp, not the "traditional" double fried crispy taste. I just want to warn others that if you like BonChon or similar style, you will be disappointed by this. It's like expecting chicken and getting fish (sweet fish)....bleh. The oven version was okay, but it too tasted like fake/cheap sugar. I will say the chicken itself was quite tasty. I was hungry enough to pull off the outside and eat some of the chicken and it was good. But never again. read more

The reason why I came over here fairly recently was because I visited cousins and cousin in law that live near to give them Valkyries shirts and other shirts they'll send to the Philippines in over a month, and since they plan to be sending clothes over while telling me about the place, I gave them my Kate Martin and Kaitlyn Chen jerseys for the trouble as I needed to make room for my Veronica Burton jersey, which I wore when I met up with them, and my upcoming violet Gabby Williams one. (Go Valks!) The noteworthy parts the place has are the real good amount of banchan dishes, bibimbap and the short rib, the spicy one in particular. While I probably will not visit the place again anytime soon, at least I can keep this place in mind if I want Korean food without driving to Santa Clara. There's plenty of parking behind the spot. As you come in, the place looks simple, but it works. You have the adorable ajumma/ajumni to take your order. The stuff I ordered. I had water, banana milk and kimchi fried rice. Since I was the only one that had more than 1 drink, I told my cousins and cousin in law the banana milk, and they did bring up how on occasion, you see the drink in K-dramas. Of course, we laughed on how my parents never got into K-dramas and while I'm at it, Filipino dramas. Oh well. Oh, there's no doubt the food is good, and the place is too legit (to quit) as I did hear Korean from a different table. As I typed up, there are plenty of banchan dishes. Not Los Angeles amount of banchan dishes, but there are plenty of banchan dishes never the less. The kimchi fried rice dish may be simple, but it does give off that homey feel. Can't forget how Big actually is affordable, the big reason why my cousins and cousin in law like the place so much. The reason why the place doesn't get a perfect score. The place would have received a perfect score if, the major matter I remember here, the place has mul naengmyun (my favorite Korean dish). Originally, I wanted Japanese ramen before my cousins mentioned this place, and I was ready to pivot to having mul naengmyun, but I was told that the place doesn't carry the noodle dish. (Being a very good and logical dish to eat for at the very least half of the year in a city like here San Jose is the reason why of all of the Korean dishes, I like mul naengmyun the most.) There probably is one or two minor flaws I already forgot, but the lack of mul naengmyun is the dead on reason why I don't give the place a perfect score. On a side note, it's nice that I told the group what banana milk and mul naengmyun are, and by doing so, they learn something new regarding eating at Korean spots just in case. BigSpoon is a good spot. While it may not be as iconic as the places in Santa Clara, it is a good spot never the less. It does a good job at being a Korean spot for an area that is more so known for Mexican food. If you live on the east side, head on over here because the place should get your attention. +/BigSpoon is brilliant and spiffy because it has a terrific combination of good simple food, affordability and wonderful service. -/If only the place also has mul naengmyun.

I'm glad I did and was definitely delighted by the experience. Hot Stone Bibimbap 5/5: There was a review on Yelp saying that there was no crunchy rice at the bottom and that it was bland. As a fellow Korean, let me give you some advice. Wait a few minutes and let the rice cook more because the stone bowl is still hot. lift up the bottom until you see crunchy bits and then you could start mixing. Excellent mix of seasoned vegetables and rice. They give you the gochujang bottle sauce on the side. you can adjust it to your level. Soon Tofu Soup 5/5. I've had a lot of tofu soup of what I like about this one is that it had a good balance of tofu, kimchi was not super sour like some restaurants and they give you an egg on the side. Very clean finish. Banchan 5/5: The highlight for me was the banchan. I went with a very picky eater friend and she really loved the kimchi ,the cucumber kimchi ,the fish cakes, japchae. They put a lot of effort into making the banchan - which I recognize right away. They also fill up if you run out and the dishes are larger than normal restaurants. Amazing. You read my mind. Interior 4/5: It is a smaller, more intimate seating.( about 25-30 people) . It still has the vibes of of a Korean eatery with K-pop music playing on the TV screen, wooden benches and chairs. You'll have to wait a bit if you go during peak hours and parking is a bit difficult. I suggest going within the first hour they open up when there's less crowds.

I initially tried placing an order online, but it wouldn't go through. I called instead and the guy on the phone was really helpful and explained that one of the items on their website had an inaccurate description. I ended up ordering the beef tofu soup instead. He told me it would take about 15-20 minutes, and by the time we got there around the 15 minute mark, everything was already ready to go. The soup was SO good. Plenty of tofu and a generous amount of beef. I also loved all the sides they included along with a bowl of rice. Every side dish was delicious, but the kimchi especially stood out. Honestly some of the best kimchi I've had in a long time. The portion was enough for both my daughter and I to share, though that's probably because we're both sick and couldn't eat too much. We're definitely looking forward to ordering from here again. Would love to try the seafood pancake and some of their other dishes next time!

You'll have to wait at least thirty minutes unless you get there extremely early. My party of nine was seated around 45 minutes after we first joined the waitlist. However, we were able to order our food ahead of time. The atmosphere of the restaurant was bustling and noisy, a super fun and casual spot. Our dishes arrived minutes after we sat down, which was impressive. There was also a variety of delicious side dishes, with various types of kimchi. The nine of us split two braised beef short rib dishes - and we were struggling to finish it all. The portion size is massive, which makes sense since it's a pretty penny. The meat was so tender, literally falling off the bone. There were a ton of potatoes, daikon, rice cake, and carrots as well. The entire dish was savory and delicious, pairing perfectly with rice. You can also specify your spice level. The medium spice was a fair amount of spice but not overpowering. I highly recommend getting the cheese on top, it provides a creamy contrast to the sharp flavors of the meat. I'm still thinking about the braised beef short rib - it was just that delicious!

The short ribs were incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the sauce was rich, savory, and deeply flavorful.

Service was great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it adds to the cozy and intimate dining atmosphere.

It wasn't too spicy (in my opinion). The rice cakes are THICK, soft, and chewy!! Wished the vegetables were a tad softer, but still loved them. They gave us two bowls of rice for this dish. My banchan ranking: 1. kimchi - my favorite one! 2. radish - deliciousss 3. cucumber - not a fan, had a really soft/soggy texture I imagine the banchan would taste really good with their soups, which is what they're more known for. Free hot barley tea! When you get your bill, they give you a little yogurt / yakult drink! I wish they were cold though, I noticed they would be out on the counter where they ring up with bill.

The first two times were great -- they served a wide variety of banchan and the seafood tofu soup was packed with fresh shrimp, clams, octopus, mussels, and squid. My daughter also loved the galbijjim. On our third visit, we arrived right at 5 PM and were told they would open shortly because the cook was on lunch. We waited until 5:20 and they still weren't serving, so we ended up leaving. Our most recent visit was the last straw. They only offered two types of banchan (not even kimchi), and they were out of all dishes that included meat or beef. It was surprising for a Korean restaurant to not have Korean BBQ or short ribs available. My seafood tofu soup barely had any seafood, and I had to point out to the waiter that there was no shrimp at all. He later returned with a cheap frozen seafood mix and said they use a seafood mix, which was disappointing considering the higher quality seafood they used to serve (including head-on shrimp). They also did not serve the usual purple rice this time -- instead we were given dry white rice that seemed reheated. There was only one server handling all the tables and cleaning, so service was slow. It's disappointing because the quality used to be much better. Based on our recent experiences, we will not be returning anytime soon.

This restaurant was filling up but it really only seemed like 3 or so employees, one waiting tables, one by the counter, and another in the kitchen. Looks like a family run business that could probably use some more hands! We ordered Yookdaejang: Good! I have no complaints about this one. Galbitang: Didn't try any but my wife said it was kind of bland. We went to Kunjip the week before and didn't get to order this, so we were really craving it. It's very good at Kunjip. I was debating just doing a seafood pancake instead. I saw a bunch of other tables have it and it looked thick and crispy. For both soups, it was too much for us so we took them both home and ate it for dinner the following day. Added more noodles to it too, so value wise it kinda worked out. The banchan was good. They ran out of fish cake but I loved the kimchi! Pretty solid for good korean food with no wait - the only wait really was the lack of employees, but sitting and ordering was quick enough.
