Was craving some fried chicken for last night's iftar. Since our regular place in Sunnyvale isn't making them anymore for some reason, had to hunt for halal fried chicken elsewhere, and found this jackpot! Von's Chicken, the outlet in Milpitas, right next to Layang-Layang, is the halal one (the other branches are not), and is an awesome Korean-style family diner. We ordered takeout from their online portal and picked them up at a designated time. Loving the Special Sauce Chicken (we opted for spicy), Crispy Fried Chicken (we took the honey butter option), the sweet potato fries, and the tasty fried rice! Truly great find. They also provide catering services. The price is incredibly reasonable, a great bargain actually, for the quantity and quality we got. Definitely switching over to this restaurant for our fried/roast chicken fix, even if it is quite the long drive. Worth it.
Wishing the staff the best. Wonderful restaurant. Excellent food and good food.
Amazing, friendly service and hot, fresh, delicious food! I've heard the green apple soju is even better than the peach, which tastes just like a jolly rancher. I will definitely try it next time we are in.
A must stop if you are in the area.
My go-to chicken spot the past year. Taste is always consistent and flavors are delicious. My favorite are the Crispy Fried, Honey Butter, and Yang Nyum. They have an awesome lunch option as well, well priced.
First time at this place that my friend recommended. They got many options to choose from with different flavored chicken. I ordered the Garlic chicken half portion. I should have brought gloves before I ate, just joking. It can be messy to eat but it was amazing. Definitely worth the price.

I was in town for a dentist appointment and wanted to eat something before my procedure since I knew I wouldn't be eating much afterward. I found a few options in the plaza but not all of them were open. I saw the sign for Vons and looked up their menu which looked really good! I've eaten at other similar Korean fried chicken restaurants (e.g. BonChon), and while they are good they are also pricey. There was a lunch special available so I decided to give that a try.
I wasn't sure what kind of chicken to order, so the cashier, who I believe was the manager, ranked the most popular dishes and eventually recommended that I try the original since it was my first time there. But he also warned me that because everything is fresh, the food will take at least 20 minutes to cook. Since I was in no rush, I said it was fine. Another customer did walk in shortly after and wanted to order but did not have enough time so he was given a menu to hopefully order ahead next time.
The food was served hot and fresh and while I chose mild, it was a little on the spicier side. But the chicken was crispy, the meat was juicy and delicious, the same with the fries. I also received a large portion of both so I wasn't even able to finish everything. The worker asked me how everything tasted and I gave him my compliments. He did mention how it's been a struggle because not everyone can wait that long for their food. There's a difference if a place is too busy and can't keep up with orders whereas, in this situation, they are focusing on quality and want to ensure that the food they provide is made to order and always fresh, which I commend them on.
I sat at the restaurant for over an hour (working/waiting for the food, eating, and sitting). It wasn't until right before I left that another customer came in to pick up a food order. Growing up with parents that owned struggling restaurants, I couldn't help but feel for this one as well. I was there on a Tuesday, but the plaza itself doesn't seem to get too much foot traffic. I'm hoping this review will encourage others to have some patience and give Vons Chicken a chance!
So first off the staff is great and walked me through the menu. The prices seemed high to me but when I saw the portions I quickly corrected my first thoughts. You get what you pay for and then some here. I ended up going with the spiciest thing on the menu and well it was spicy. Not at first but it came back to bite me about half way through my wings. The frys were also really good. Towering not to mention. Would recommend.
They are known for their Korean fried chicken (The spicy soy garlic is my favorite) but their dumplings are pretty awesome, too.
