Best Restaurants in Concord and Pleasant Hill - Eater SF

"Originally hailing from Korea, the Vons Chicken chain has recently expanded from its U.S. roots in Sunnyvale to new East Bay locations in Oakland, Fremont, and Concord. Get your napkins ready as you take on a variety of finger-licking sauces, slathered over your choice of Korean fried or oven-roasted chicken. The former is available in three styles: crispy, saucy “yangyum,” or dusted with honey butter or cheddar seasoning. The latter comes in flavors like garlic, wine, and green onion, or soy sauce and black vinegar. Complimentary pink pickled radish cubes and lightly dressed cabbage slaw are refreshing accompaniments to the spicy chicken. Want something more substantial on the side? There are also French fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings, or Korean faves such as kimchi fried rice, mandoo (pot stickers), and rice cakes." - Rebecca Shea
