Von's Chicken - 본스치킨 하와이 마칼로아지점 — Restaurant in Honolulu

Every once in awhile I need fried chicken and this is the best I've found on Oahu. Vons is far and away superior to itchy butt and this particular location somehow has yummier chicken than the Pensacola spot. Always get two half orders: spicy Korean and either shoyu or garlic. Impeccable. I live nearby, so takeout stays fresh and they're ready time is accurate. Guy at the register/on the phone speaks English perfectly. My two half orders (20 wings/drummies) came out to about $35, which isn't cheap, but the size of the pieces and quality justify the price tag--you could easily find $40 meals that aren't half as satisfying. I've never eaten at the little food court it's at inside Palama Market but there's a little like coffee shop right at the entrance that sells waffles until 5:30--a perfect pairing if only I would've gotten there 15...

Very disappointing. First off, they never placed my call in order. Then the 10 wing order was 7 flats and only 3 drumettes. I much prefer the drumettes, but understand they're normal half and half. I specifically asked to make sure I get at least half (5) drumettes, but she said can not do, most she can give me is 3. Lastly, not enough sauce, nor extremely crispy.. I love KFC as a super crispy spicy chicken adventure. These were only moderately crispy and a very light coating of sunk in sauce. Ok, but not up to par with the places I love.

Oh and I'll add that for $17 for just this, I can't believe they won't even give me a cup of tap water!

Aside from all this, the flavor (from what little sauce was present) was good (I got Shoyu).

SMH......

The one star is for this location another cause I love Vons the chicken is bomb.. but, I never been to this location Before but they do not sell the extra sauce on the side. I always get extra sauce on the side and this location told me No you cannot buy sauce on the side! Kaimuki and Waimalu locations both let me buy the sauces on the side. Don’t go to this location if you like your sauce on the side or extra sauce...
