Vons Chicken Newark

Vons is the only Korean chicken place that we suggest to our friends. Their chicken has a perfect balance between crispy and juicy. While we usually cook at home because we prefer homemade meals, Vons is our go-to choice when we're feeling lazy.

This is my favorite place for chicken wings! I always order the soy glaze (spicy) and the chicken is always consistently good. The skin is crispy, the meat is juicy, and the sauce is a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. If you want more heat, you can order just the sauce on its own and ask for it extra spicy. The service is excellent and speedy, although I have only done takeout orders.

For those unfamiliar with this restaurant, do not mistake it for Vons the supermarket. Vons serves delicious Korean fried chicken that is authentic and flavorful. Achieving the perfect balance of crunchiness without dryness is crucial for fried chicken, and Vons has mastered this. I ordered two half chickens with different flavors, which was enough for two people. The drumsticks were generously sized and packed with meat, and the spicy flavor had just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming.

Good food?. Reasonable portion sizes?. Freshly prepared?.. tastes really good Tried the red oven baked chicken.. extra spicy?. Totally worth! Will be visiting again!

The chicken legs here are so massive and juicy. I'm not complaining though B^ . Pretty solid KFC, and the quality of the chicken was pretty similar to the Fremont location. Comes with some pickled sides. I ordered mild tteokbokki for fear of it being too spicy, but it was pretty tame. I ended up reheating it with some red pepper flakes because I wanted it spicier. All the food here tastes just fine when eaten leftover, but the crispiness of the chicken decreases over time.
