Vons Chicken Waimalu

Get the snow wings or fries. I was hesitant at first. But very enjoyable. Shoyu was good too. Takes about 15 mins since they make it fresh. You can also call ahead.

Some of the best fried chicken, sauces, and fries I have ever had. Mandoo was nice and crisp. Worth the wait as it seems every plate is cooked fresh.

After Rehab yesterday, I wanted to try something different to take home for lunch. Von’s Chicken Waimalu. Right next to Palama Supermarket and also connected to it by a side door. Ive eaten at many Korean Chicken Places but surprisingly not Vons so i was pretty excited to see how they measure up. I immediately knew what I wanted so i got a Half order of Boneless Crispy Honey Butter Chicken & Half order of Boneless Crispy Shoyu Chicken. I also couldn’t resist ordering the Honey Butter French Fries. The lady that took my order had a very strong accent but I’m used to hearing heavy accents so i could understand most of what she was saying, but i think most people would have a very hard time. She was very nice though so things were pleasant enough. Was about a 20 minute wait so I decided to shop at Palama in the meantime. I came back after 20 minutes and there was a man waiting in there along with me. I could tell he was not happy. Apparently his order was not ready. There was a miscommunication of some sort with the order and the reply was that it would take more time to fix it, he replied dryly that his lunch break time was fading away ugh. I could hear her repeating apologetically ️ i felt so bad for both of them. Anyway, my order wasn’t ready either so I patiently waited. While waiting it gave me a chance to look around with a critical eye. The place had definitely seen better days. Was beat up looking. Boxes of stock take out containers lined the entire counter and the place looked uncared for. I started to worry wondering if my excitement over something new took over my better judgment? Too late. My order was ready finally and glancing into the paper bag to give it a check over, the smell of those hot Honey Butter French Fries washed away any doubts. Looking at them had my eyes shining which is super super rare. The last time that happened was in Japan with a $300 steak! After sanitizing my hands in the truck, I immediately dug into them immediately because I wanted to try them Hot. (my husband was driving anyway and had his own fries from Shiro’s lol.) I wasn’t disappointed. They were absolutely delicious! The seasoning of the light butter taste combined with the generous amount sweet honey seasoning had me in my own world. I highly recommend! But, like all fries you must eat them immediately. They taste best hot. Honestly, by the time i got home, i was full from the fries so i didn’t eat the chicken right away. Maybe 15 minutes later i reluctantly took out one of each flavor to at least sample even though i was full. Both the Shoyu and Honey Butter were on point with flavor. Shoyu was my favorite of the two flavors. Savory with a touch of sweetness. The Honey Butter had the same seasoning as the fries. Both were a little over cooked. Was okay though so because i was stuffed, i put it away to eat later. Big Mistake. Theses are not good as leftovers. Eat them hot or not at all. Unlike other places like wingstop or even pizza hut, the chicken is still good the day after. Not here, which was a let down because they weren’t cheap. For of this reason, they got 3 stars. Too bad. I really wanted to love it but the fries are awesome so I’m glad i tried it. I will come again if its someone else’s treat.

This place is great! The seasoned spicy chicken will kill you, so be warned!
It's also take out only. Take your food across the street to the park to enjoy it fresh.

They have the best fries! Their chicken is yummy the butter and honey is delightful! The staff is friendly.

Food was made to order and really good, especially the fries. Very friendly staff. Accepts cash and card. Would definitely go again

Clean, friendly, great tasting chicken. Crispy shoyu is my favorite. $1.50 for side radish is a bit much. Tastes fine, but unless you really really want radish, just skip.

We love this place. Chicken wings are really delicious and always a treat. Be sure to try the original fries, fried shoyu, and fried snow. Oh, and get a side of snow fries too. You won’t be disappointed. Nom!

Some of the best Korean fried chicken I've tried to date! Highly recommend the garlic and extra spicy!

Juicy flavorful chicken wings and super nice staff.
My favorite is the shoyu wings and the honey butter wings! 3 orders of half order wings will feed a family of 4

Waited 45 minutes for our chicken, I was told 20 minutes don't think we'll be going there again also the chicken was raw

Food is good BUT Service is horrible. I called my order in and I got a ETA of 25 minutes. I had to wait one whole hour for my order. UNBELIEVABLE!

One of the place to get Korean fried chicken.it is so tasty and the priceis right for the portions.shoyu and garlic chicken are the bomb.

So.hands down, best Korean Fried Chicken. Always so crispy and never dry! Working near by, I've gone handfuls of times and tried all the flavors. Can't go wrong with original but shoyu is a personal favorite, family also likes the Garlic. The honey butter was different though I wouldn't say it's a "must try". Personally, I always order all the sides - rice, fried rice cake and mandoo - so it is a full meal. Somewhat pricey but I've never been dissatisfied.

I love Vons but I called multiple times with no answer.and drove aaallllllll the way from mililani to walk in and be told no more chiken.

Bought 3 bags of "Ginger Chews" from Palama Market before deciding to purchase my plate lunch. Lunch was small for the price but was delicious. Should have given more side (veggie) and rice.

The chicken is best eaten while hot/freshly cooked. Tried the garlic.asked for extra garlic.yum. Tried the parmesan cheese.that was good.and I think there's a teriyaki.not sure.but the wings are tasty.

The menu is very different from the one in korea.there are four things in the chicken menu and maybe five things in the side menu.the fried rice cake reminded me of the skewers id eat as a kid.just the right amount of sweetness.they only use wings and drumstick for the fried chicken.wish it was specified in the menu.this is my first time eating korean fried chicken outside of korea and i expected the same experience since it's a korean franchise.the chicken tasted fresh, which is something i never experience at kfc or popeyes.the spicy chicken wasnt spicy and the plain chicken was alright.

Better than Buffalo Wild Wings by a mile. Little bit on the pricey side though. I have yet to find anything on the island that has better chicken wings than Vons Chicken. It's sooo good!
