We were craving Korean fried chicken, found out the VONS chicken in Albany was closed, and decided to order takeout from this restaurant instead. We ordered the Crispy Yang Yum Full and the Crispy Sweet Cheddar Full. You can customize the combo of drums and wings. We chose the 6 drums and 8 wings for our set. Everything tasted great, the flavor was spot on, and the chicken was crispy! They have a small parking lot outside, which made picking up our order easy. which was a plus.

We get takeout from here all the time & it’s definitely our favorite fried chicken in the area. Maybe even the absolute favorite overall. The crispy soy garlic is my top pick, although I’ve tried the honey butter & real garlic and those are very good too. Usually when we get fried chicken takeout in other places the chicken gets soggy and doesn’t feel crispy by the time we get back home to eat it, but this is NEVER an issue at Vons. Half portion is 6 and full is 12. Highly recommend trying this spot you won’t regret it!

Here at the opening reception at "K Banchan Kitchen" today. It is located in La Mancha Plaza. Parking is readily available on site in the plaza. The Korean food here is delicious and absolutely amazing! Great for takeouts and there is a small area for dining in. There are beautiful plants being sold here as well. Well decorated. Great service! Highly recommend. It will be open to the public on Friday, 3/24/23.

Cute, cozy little shop. Stopped by for their bento box lunch, was happy with the meal. Very filling. Would give five stars, but the bulgogi was a bit too dry for my taste. All the same, I’d definitely come back again! The server was nice and attentive, and I was able to get myself some complimentary water. The parking was a bit tricky, but I managed to find a spot around the corner.

Holy moly. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd ever find S-tier banchan outside of Koreatown in LA or Korea. Yet here, in this unassuming strip mall off Telegraph across from MacArthur BART, K Banchan is bringing the goods. Simply put, this is some of the best banchan- easily beats the big supermarket options by a long shot. The storefront is simple with a couple fridges stocked with a wide selection of banchan, kimchi, stews, and meats. The ajumma working the counter helped breakdown all the different options - from picked veggies, marinated seafoods, and some treats like egg omelette. I loved the mix of classic banchan and some inventive ones like the picked beet "kkakdugi" which we had as a side for dinner and OMG I want more. The roasted garlic is to die for. And as someone who doesn't dig the classic black bean banchan, this one might have made me into a convert. The banchan flavor is incredibly balanced and the quality is ultra fresh. I literally don't think I've ever had such crisp banchan. The snap. The bright acidity in the pickled one. I mean chef's kiss. All in all, we picked up 6 different banchan for a little over $30. They also offer sandwiches and doshirak lunch sets as well. If you eat in, they also offer a side of rice to have with your yummy banchan. I will be returning regularly. The supermarket banchan options just don't cut it anymore when you have a dedicated fresh option in K Banchan.

I’ve come into this place on a couple of occasions and was really impressed by the quality of the banchan. I also ordered a mackerel lunch box on a return visit and thought that the quality easily matched the banchan i had tried. The size of the meal was generous and the fish tasted fresh and was well-seasoned. The service here is extremely friendly as well. Easy recommend for anyone looking for quick Korean food in the area.

Got a bulgolgi plate and a k-frittata sandwhich. The plate included japchae, steamed vegetables, and rice. It was a lot of food and everything tasted great. Also picked up some banchan, kimbop, and kimchi which were delicious. Great spot to get a meal or some sides at a great price. Check em out!

The food was amazing. The service was great. All meat Kimbaps say less. The chicken was crisp and really juicy. It was a fantastic bite before a kpop concert.

This place always hits the spot! We were craving fried chicken and spicy rice cakes, odd combo but the stomach wants what it wants! We got the combo of the soy garlic chicken (drums and wings) and it was fried to perfection and perfectly seasoned/sauced. We also got the spicy rice cakes and it was also really good. Was it spicy? Definitely not. Was it tasty? It sure was! The pickled radish is always a 10/10, if you're a fan of it then I highly recommend you order extra because they only give 2 containers. Soy garlic is my all time fav fried chicken flavor from here. Crispy Garlic is my other go to choice. I'd pass on the honey butter because while it sounds intriguing it's not as tasty as it sounds. I also suggest passing on the yang yum unless you like your chicken drowning in sauce.

We got the garlic soy chicken wings/drums (medium spice) and it was really good but I recommend milks if you don't like spice- I like spice but the others in my party were sweating! We also got the kimchi fried rice- this was good, the over easy egg yolk was overcooked for my taste (I prefer a runny yolk), but otherwise, solid dish!

Stumbled upon this place while we were in the area during lunch time. They had a small parking lot and accessible street parking that's walking distance which was good. Inside is a bit small but there were some tables and chairs for dining in although we did take out. Wasn't busy so service was quick and since it was our first time the employee gave us his best recommendations. My husband got the spicy pork lunch bento and I got the chicken. They were of generous portion which included a lot of banchan (side dishes). They had a fridge of ala carte side dishes which we also got of the spicy tofu and fish cake (my husbands favorite). Everything was so delicious and at a great price for what you get.

Juicy fried chicken! Not the best I've had, but they did pretty damn well. I don't think I've had Vons since my South Bay days. I'd say this tasted a lot better too. Limited parking.. narrow stall.. park at own risk!

I door dashed a half order of honey butter drums & wings, as well as 10 mini veggie pot stickers. Being this was my first time ordering, I wasn't prepared. I had a taste for fried chicken & I got that plus a little twist of sweet & salty. I had to go back to the reviews to figure out what the dusty stuff was... learned it's dehydrated honey butter powder. It's yummy. But a little bit goes a long way. I scraped off most of it. But it is delicious. I know how to order next time. And there will be a next time.

There are a few Vons Chicken locations in the Bay Area, and like the others, this location does not disappoint. The wings here are consistently excellent -- perfectly fried, and never oily. If you've never tried honey butter chicken wings before, stop what you're doing and place a pick-up order now. This flavor has been a staple on Korean fried chicken menus for years, but if it's your first time, you're in for a treat. Vons' honey butter wings are some of the best I've found in the Bay. The dehydrated honey butter powder -- like a dusting of powdered snow, is packed with a uniquely addictive mix of sweet, salty, and savory. Honestly, I'd eat the powder on its own over a bowl of rice. That said, there are a couple things that could be improved. First, service is slow, especially during peak dinner hours. Today, even though I called ahead, my order still took about 20 minutes longer than the estimated time. Second, parking is a pain. The parking lot in front of the shop is small and usually full, mostly taken up by Doordashers and employees of the businesses in the plaza. Parking on the streets of Telegraph is also a bit dicey, as there's always the possibility your car could get bipped and your $20 chicken wing run becomes $200+ with a car window replacement. If you can navigate the logistics of ordering, parking, and pick-up, you're in for a tasty wing experience.

If you're in Oakland, you have to stop by Vons Barbecue. The chicken alone is worth the trip. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. But don't sleep on the rice plates either. It's fully loaded. Giving you the best bang for your buck. It's a small, mom-and-pop spot with street parking, and that's part of the charm. The owner is incredibly sweet and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.

I can't say that I'm a Korean fried chicken expert but I have tried it from multiple places both in the Bay Area plus other places. The soy garlic chicken at Vons was amazing - it was crunchy on the outside without being too bread-y and the meat was juicy. The mild gave a nice flavorful to the sauce, and I asked for the medium on the side so I could add an extra kick when I wanted. I've bought side dishes that were pretty good too. Would definitely come back for the chicken.

Such nice people here! Helpful, sweet and polite and OMG THE CHICKEN!!! I asked for the sauce on the side and they were accommodating. The kabocha squash and spicy fish cake banchan were FIRE . Even the way the chicken was packaged was CHEF'S KISS with a tented piece of paper to protect it but not steam the crispy chicken. FIVE STARS!!!! These guys know what they're doing.

First of all, the chicken (crispy chicken wings) are always cooked to perfection? I called in a full order and it was ready, hot and crispy in 10mins. The man who took the order and brought out the food for us was very laid back and kind. He gave us the delicious sauce to go along with it. It's a pretty ghetto area with bars on doors and such, but the because the man working there was so cool and laid back, it made it less scary than it looks. The inside was clean and neat. I did not get a chance to take a picture of the chicken cause devoured them before I could.

VONS is definitely in my top three for KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), and my go to flavor is soy garlic. I love how the chicken retains its crispiness despite the sauce, which is lightly drizzled for optimal flavor. I always order the medium spice level, which I find to be the perfect amount of heat, just spicy enough to be enjoyable. K Banchan also offers fantastic side dishes, and I'm particularly obsessed with their lotus root banchan and pickled spicy cucumbers. Banchan is especially great for busy weekdays when you want a quick, delicious, and healthy meal. The customer service here is consistently excellent, always welcoming and accommodating! I give it a 10/10 and highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it yet.

A decent lunch spot. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy and piping hot. (We had to wait before digging in) The spicy pork box lunch was plentiful with japchae noodles and some banchan in one section. However it was not spicy at all and I'm a wimp when it comes to heat. It was a bit hard to find cuz it's located in a corner strip mall with 5 other businesses. A small gated parking lot with 10+ spots. You order at the counter and there are 6 small tables inside. Food was brought out for us to our table. Packaged banchan were available for purchase in the refrigerated display case.

Really good. Might be the best piece of fried chicken I have had in Oakland. Flavor on the Soy Garlic extra spicy was fantastic. Kimchi Fried rice was a massive portion. Also tasted great. I think I am an obligated to get this every time I come here now. Spicy Pork Bulgogi Sandwich. Bread was awesome. Veggies in the sandwich were on point. Didn't care for how sweet it was. Wasn't spicy at all. And considering they had some good heat on the soy garlic chicken it surprised me. Bento Box with spicy chicken bulgogi. The chicken is great. Again just not a huge fan of the sauce. A bit saucy and too sweet for me. Glass noodles were great nice subtle flavor. Pickled daikon, amazing. Daikon Kimchi, amazing. So I would order this with less sauce or sauce on the side but would 100 percent do again. Soy sauce marinated egg didn't have a ton of flavor, but I enjoy egg so is a win for me.

This is a solid Korean food restaurant!! I had "spicy Korean lunch box" twice here. Food is excellent with assortment of banchan. They gave me a mound of spicy pork, I was full after eating less than half!! Highly recommend this place I am taking home the rest home and have my wife try it! Service is excellent too.

I'd come here occasionally for their Korean fried chicken. Flavorful and always crispy. So it hurts to have to give this review. The gentleman working the front went into the kitchen to get the orders and come out to bag the orders. However, I was appalled that when he went into the kitchen he would vape a couple times. I noticed it as well as the smoke (aerosol) he blew out, while the food was being prepared. It happened twice when I was there. Who knows how often it happens? Beware, if you want some added chemicals in your chicken!

Very friendly staff and very good food. The little shop was not very busy at lunch time on a Friday, but I do tend to eat lunch earlier than most. I ordered the spicy pork plate, and it was a great lunch! Generous portions of pork paired with lots of sides: japche, rice, pickled cucumber, salted egg, a pot sticker, fish cake bits etc. The pork was very good and carried the show, as you would hope for as the entree. Everything else was pretty good, but I found the japche just a bit on the bland side. I was so impressed by the food, I took a picture before I even decided to write a review. Wish I had more room to try the fried chicken; it seems like most of the other customers were ordering that.

K Banchan & Vons Chicken 4013 Telegraph Ave F, Oakland, CA 94609 Von's Chicken is serving up Korean fried chicken (KFC) that's hot, fresh and tasty! Von's is operating inside the K Banchan place at 40th St At x Telegraph in Oakland. I was with friends, and we ONLY ordered Korean Fried Chicken! I ordered the Real Garlic Crispy Half Combo with wings and legs. Von's cooks their chicken fresh, so you have to wait. My Combo came with 3 big drums, and 4 little wings and drumettes. Let that KFC cool down, then enjoy hot and fresh chicken! The crust is crispy, but not doughy or soggy. Nice garlic taste, but not too strong. I will go back and try other flavors and post updates!

Perfect parking right near the door--such a blessing in Oakland! K Banchan serves the best Korean fried chicken in town. Crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor every single time. Whether you like it spicy or sweet, their chicken hits all the right notes. Service was friendly and quick, making the whole experience super smooth. If you're craving authentic, mouthwatering Korean fried chicken, K Banchan is your go-to spot!

Hands down to the best Korean chicken around! Flavorful and stayed crispy after an hour of sitting. Soy sauce chicken with medium spice! Delicious and also the radishes are fresh. Big portion and good pricing. Excellent customer service! Parking lot is a little sketchy, but picture explains it all! Highly recommend. Will come back when I'm around!

Got catering for 40 people from them for a party. They emailed me the menu as text but it was not very descriptive, and I found it more helpful to go into the store in person and take a photo of their menu on display. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. I love their yang yum chicken at medium spicy level.

Everything I look for in a wing -- crispy and packed with flavor. I also really appreciate that the wings aren't dripping with sauce which allows it to maintain that nice crispy bite. The shop is shared under a Korean Banchan restaurant so there's other k-food beyond just wings. Wings are fried up fresh so prepare for a little bit if a wait -- it'll be worth it! A few wet wipes would be a nice service plus for them to consider.

Freshly made Korean fried chicken with toppings like green onion and garlic sauce made to order. Light batter, fragrant sauce, what's not to like? They also have freshly made banchan and Korean marinated eggs (delish!) I stopped eating chicken over 1.5 years ago. And made an exception just for this place. And it was worth it! Friendly staff, clean interior with a few tables for dining in, worth checking it out if you are near by.

Love this homey Korean joint. I ordered the spicy pork lunch box with the glass noodles, and it hit the spot. Portion size was very generous. I was STARVING and still had a bit of leftovers that I took to go. I also got kimchi & spicy fishcake banchan. Would get again. Prices are also very reasonable. Staff and patrons were great and peaceful. Located close to MacArthur BART, very convenient for public transportationers. There is a small parking lot and plenty of street parking.

Dainty little shop on the corner here, lots of great options for banchan here, packaged nicely in take away containers. They also have bigger containers of Kimchi which is a nice amount of tangy/sour taste! I got a spicy pork rice bowl, which, upon receiving I almost dropped because of how deceptively heavy it was. The portion was great for the price. Even though a lot of the dish was made up from rice below, there was a decent amount of pork and vegetables on top. Service was slower than a normal take out would take but I put that up to them taking extra care into cooking? Definitely felt that way, the service was very attentive. Great ace to stop by and grab a bite which will fill you up!

The place smells like fried chicken. Clean. Tables for 2 and 4 seatings. Casual, grab and go. hot, crunchy and hits all the check marks that one wants when they crave fried chicken. I ordered 4 full orders ( this was for 15 people and with enough for take home packages, we estimated 3 per person, 2 per person would have been sufficient ) Because it was a large order, I placed it days in advance and was ready to be picked up and ready to go on time. Honey Butter was my favorite, but some guests mentioned that it was too sweet. The bbq sauce was not overly drenched, just glazed over. They packaged in a manner that chicken would stay crisp. Customer service, genuinely friendly and that alone is hard to come by. Come here. Leave your valuables at home and bring a box home with you. It's a goodie.

If you enjoy fried chicken (unless you're vegan how can you not), please support this business. I stumbled upon it and their soy garlic wings are absolute fire. Here's the kicker - every order is made fresh. Stop buying KFC and Popeyes and enjoy this Korean spot. Service is great - Joe has hella cool vibes. Lots of traditional Korean side dishes. Had the Aster Greens and fermented radish, both are delicious. I saw a cooking show years ago where a food historian stated that Koreans leaned bow to fry great chicken from Black GI's in the Korean War. That said, Korean have truly placed their own cultural stamp on fried chicken. Represent.

I ordered ahead of time and food was not ready in time, which was not a big deal, but then it turned out they had made the wrong order. I was told it'd be about 10 more minutes until it was ready but it was more like 25 minutes. After all that waiting, they didn't even wrap it well to insulate it, as I had requested. And I had paid full price and tipped. A bit of a disappointing customer service experience.

Quite surprising. It's in an odd spot and the Vongs sign is small. Just ordered chicken combination, wings and legs. Chicken was crunchy and moist. Side? Questionable, I ordered french fries. Message to all French friers. Cut em fresh, little seasoned. Next level. But, all in all. I will be back. Photo next time

It's a nice shop for a quick lunch that has a small parking lot. I tried the lunch bento which had a good amount of rice, bulgogi, and glass noodles. The food is okay and the shop is nicely decorated with indoor plants. Rather odd that the cashier didn't give us utensils or napkins until we asked for our takeout. Overall, worth coming if you want a healthy fast lunch option.

I have been wanted to visit for a while and was in the area, so I was craving some of their kimbap plus side dishes. However, it seems on a lazy Sunday, someone came in the morning and bought all the pre-made kimbap (not a made to order kimbap place). I grabbed some bancha and compared to ones I have made or got from KP, this place had legit side dishes. I loved their lotus root, as it was still crispy which is how I like it. The tofu cilantro ( I usually use chrysanthemum leaves) was good but spoiled a little faster than I would have like. The marinated squid was tender but could be a little spicer. Prices are decent and a good place to stop by for some korean goodness.

Avoid for delivery!!! I ordered and paid for three dishes to be delivered. When I opened the delivery bag I saw that the restaurant only sent one of the three things I ordered. Restaurant did not answer the phone when we called. Grubhub was able to get us reimbursed. Bottom line, I will not try again with a restaurant that cannot get me the food I order and pay for. I strongly suggest avoiding the disappointment and struggle we had tonight.

Summary: Solid spot for Korean eats and banchan to go! Details: Cute little Korean cafe / super offering up a huge selection of banchan and lunch sets to go, along with fresh made-to-order lunch sets as well. If it's your first time and you don't know what to get, the lunch sets are a great way to get a sampling of their banchan, as they generally come with a generous serving of protein, and about half a dozen bites of their various banchan options. Or heck, just come if you want a tasty and filling value meal for your money! If you've been to premade food sections of Korean markets like Kukje or H Mart, you'll already have a good sense of what's on offer here: expect much of the same, but fresher and with a bit more flavor and depth. That said, some of the banchan options are definitely on the saltier or sweeter side for me, but may suit others more. The ones I enjoyed more include japchae, stir-fried anchovies, kimchi, and radish, the latter two of which come in various aged/fermented options (you'll have to ask them to know which ones are more fermented though). Accessibility: Spacious venue that's pretty accessible, but some items are definitely higher up in the fridges and difficult to see/read/reach from a seated position. Tables are smaller foldable two-tops that you can't really scoot under, so if you can't eat seated sideways, it's better to grab stuff to go.

Wow what a hidden gem of a spot. This place always seems empty and my guess I due to OK's deli being right across from it. This is well worth a try for their sandwiches and Banchan. We walked over after a massage from Chaiyo, I knew they had sandwiches but didn't really know what to get. After browsing the deli case and grabbing a few well priced snacks I asked for Recs. The owner said the sandwiches are very popular, spicy pork and bbq pork varieties We opted for the spicy pork kimchi sandwich to share and WOW - so good, my girlfriend was amazed at the size, taste, and and textures. It's like a Philly cheesesteak sandwich but with Korean ingredients and spicy pork as the meat. There's some greens, mushrooms, and bean sprouts ti round out the flavors and textures. The break was perfect for this messed sandwich. It held together and the toasted bread did not ruin the top of your mouth since only one side was toasted. A slather of mayo on top and moz at the bottom were perfect. Really recommend this spot, I know it's got great competition around for sandwiches but very much worth a try, you will not be disappp

I stopped by here for a snack and was surprised at the many options for Banchan and lunch combos. The man at the front counter was super kind and encouraged me to let him know if I had any questions. I got the meat + seafood pancakes and a fish cake kimbap. I asked about their raw marinated crab, and he told me they have it on the weekends so I'll definitely have to come back and try it!

Love that this delicious cute banchan shop also has Vons too! We got a full order of chicken and picked up a bunch of my favorite banchan to eat with rice for breakfast. Chicken was so crispy, fresh, and tender!! Banchan was flavorful and tasted homemade :-) Heads-up to show some patience and kindness because their team is small so if a bunch of people come in an order chicken there will be a bit of a wait! The Korean guy working the cashier was super friendly and accommodating to everyone's requests. Thank you!!

K Banchan Kitchen opened where a taqueria once was. a couple of tables available for inside dining, 2 tables outside. small parking lot in front. plenty of plants around. display or for sale?....wasn't planning to eat in, wasn't in the mood, decided to grab a few entrees to go. Offerings: grab & go banchan/entrees. lunch boxes (K-sandwiches, rice bowls, rice cakes) eat-in or take out, pastries, drinks... couple of refrigerators had banchan/entrees. no signage as to types. the kimchi dishes were obvious, the others less so. only pricing shown, no weights. just a basic name listed. . eats: fishcake (4) ingredient: "soy sauce, grain syrup, garlic, oil" -obviously had fish within, not listed. -tastes similar to what's given in Korean eateries. -has consistency of dried tofu with a fish-like taste. seafood meat pancake (7) -mislabeled package. it's a mix of egg battered zucchini slices and seafood pancake slices, not just seafood meat variety. was either a packing error or customer preference for variety... -both renditions tasted fresh, prefer the seafood only version. soybean paste stew (crab, 7) -thought it was a variety of soon tofu soup it's actually a "stew" of soybean paste, small blue? crabs, tofu in broth. -crab meat is basically bland, all flavor went into the broth which was rich. -very tradition Korean dish. didn't expect this. yummy broth. steamed beef ribs (12) -5ish rib bones with detached tender rib meat, stewed carrots, radish pieces. -lots of flavor in the juices on the bottom. 4.5 stars. über tasting food, good value. labeling may be off in English. labeling probably accurate in Korean. (hearsay it's easy to learn).. take outs: -May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander Heritage Month. -the banchan and entrees are a mix of traditional Korean and home style Korean dishes. cashier and staff will be happy to answer any questions...

The vibes in K Banchan are great! The decor is very cute and all the plants make the place so wholesome. We got the beef dumplings and the chef fried them up perfectly for us. Plus, they were only $6!! All the other food looked great too. The service was great, the chef was so friendly to us and let us use the bathroom before buying anything!

Great Korean fried chicken (we prefer the tried and true crispy chicken...no sauce). We order the whole chicken, so that there would be plenty of chicken to go around between me and my wife without having to "duke it out" for extra pieces . Staff is friendly and helpful too .

We've been looking for a closer Von's chicken for a while and stumbled onto this place, when we went inside a familiar face showed up. It's the manager from Von's chicken from Solano's location. Joe always has been on top of things, very tentative with customers and professional. Their fried chicken is always awesome and tasty, we loved it so much, we bought some for our coworkers to try too!! We always order their real garlic chicken full order and Padak full order, once in a while we do order their spicy friend chicken also. Few other items we tried are their bento box, big size and really fill you up for a good bargain!! We highly recommend this place!! We've been back there multiple times already

Cute place, and I'm delighted to see all the additional dishes in the refrigerated section. This is a good addition to the neighborhood. Service was friendly and nice, but my chicken Bulgogi was cold and a little bit hard. It's only week seven since they opened, so I will come back and try again.

Friendly service and large portions of fried chicken. Our favorite was the garlic soy. Definitely felt heavy and a bit greasy, but enjoy supporting a local business.

Got the spicy pork lunch box. I was surprised at how large the portion was, a lot of pork. It was really good authentic Korean barbecue. Highly recommend!
