Von's Chicken

Vons is always a solid spot for some Korean fried chicken. Their lunch specials are nice and the portions are huge. One half size can fit at least two meals for me. My faves are the crispy fried w/ honey butter, yangnyeom, and soy garlic.

A new Von’s location has opened up in San Jose and I couldn’t be more excited! Parking was easy to find and everything inside the store was super clean. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful as well.

The chicken wings were cooked fresh and quite large! Both orders were super addicting, full of flavor, and not dry, but I personally preferred the crispy fried chicken over the garlic chicken just because I like the crunch of the skin hehe. They also provided extra sides like cheddar powder, honey butter, yangnyeom sauce, and pickled radish which complimented the wings wonderfully. This was enough to fill 2 people and there were leftovers! It smelled amazing in the car when I was on my way home and that made me look forward to eating it again.

All in all, I would definitely come back to try their other flavors!

So glad that my favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot opened up super close by my house!

Vons is my go-to KFC spot in the Bay, and I prefer it over similar spots like BonChon. I ordered: the original crispy soy glaze chicken and the mild yangnyeom chicken. I loved how flavorful both of them were, but my favorite was the crispy soy glaze! I've also had the honey butter crispy chicken at Vons before and it's really good (super strong flavor) for any honey butter lovers out there! I really like how the chicken at Vons is crispy and a good size (some other korean fried chicken spots use such large pieces of meat that I think it loses the flavor/overall makes it less appetizing).
