The popcorn chicken was overcooked and under seasoned, but the Japchae was some of the best Ive ever had. Cant wait to try more items from the menu.

Nice little restaurant up Solono Ave. As first timers, we ordered the most popular chicken options at the servers recommendation with a side of kimchee fried rice. Food was fantastic. We got MILD, however it was still quite spicy. If you arent a spicy food eater, order with caution. Will definitely go back & try some of the other dishes.

Got the crispy garlic chicken and it was great! I definitely need to try the honey butter next time!

Coworkers always take me for dusty chicken when I visit. The honey butter chicken is super good. The server at this location is particularly nice as well.

Top quality fried chicken with amazing sauces! Pass on the oven baked, they are tasty but more home style. The honey butter fries are a miracle that youve got to try. Service is thoughtful and prompt, and they can give recommendations on the wide options of food and drinks too. Huge fan of the marinated green onions as a topping for everything. Incredible value for delicious food, one of my favorite places in the area.

Ive been going here for years, and the crispy fried chicken has always been crispy, perfectly fresh, and seasoned well. I dont know what you’re looking for from fried chicken, but thats all Im looking for. Service is always good, and the person who takes my order is often happy and easily gives me extra sauce and extra daikon or coleslaw when I ask for it. The place is always clean, and consistently so, overall, consistently a great night whenever I go here!

WARNING: RAW CHICKENOrdered the VONS spicy fried chicken wings. They were overdressed, breading tasted heavy and crumbly rather than light and crispy. Chicken meat was RAW around the bone. We took one bite and couldn’t even finish it. The sauce was spicy, but weirdly tomato-y at the same time. Definitely would not recommend an establishment that served raw chicken. What a waste of meat and $20 🥲

Ive only ever had their bibimbop, but it is outstanding, with so many delicious ingredients like egg, kale, edamame, carrots, quinoa, and sprouts. I always get it with the spring mix as the base, since it is super nutritious. For protein I recommend salmon or tofu. I just learned that they can mix proteins, so I tried tofu and seaweed. So tasty! Highly recommended.If you order to go, they use packaging that keeps the base and protein separate from the standard toppings, which is nice if you want to mix it yourself. If you eat in they have a few small tables, but dont expect more than a place where you can sit and eat.

Today I discovered a new chicken place to eat. I met some co-workers here. We are Zooming most days so it was nice to meet up. We sat outside and ate. BopShop Korean Kitchen is coupled with Vons Chicken which I was confused until I Googled the brand name and visited the website.I am a lover of Korean Fried Chicken and the Korean spices, chili peppers Gochujang(red chili paste), and Gochugaru (red pepper powder). I love kimchi also. I ordered a half order of spicy Yangnyum seasoned chicken. It was so good, so succulent, juicy, and very messy. I was using the chopsticks as skewers. I got Yangnyum juice on my face mask. I needed some wet wipes. All Vons chicken orders are served with a side of radish pickle and coleslaw. I plan on trying a few more dishes on my return trip.

I would avoid getting the popcorn chicken unless you get sauce on the side because when I got it is was too soggy and has lost it’s crunch. I would definitely recommend crunch fried chicken it is really good.

We got the chicken wings in sweet & tangy chili sauce and the crunch fried chicken half (no sauce). Both were very tasty and freshly made, plus the service was great.

This is our familys go-to place for fried chicken. Its always brined so its got the right level of seasoning and juiciness!The pro tip is to get the Crunchy version if youre looking for a very crunchy fried chicken (get bone in drums). Alternatively, our second choice is the boneless Crispy, which is lighter and works better for boneless thigh pieces.The sauce can be a bit sweet, so suggest ordering the sauce on the side!

Wow. The chicken here is amazing. The seasoned fries where out of this world. Usually I find that move to be a gimmick. But nope here at bopshop you get amazing chicken sweet and tangy.The pickles cole slaw and sides are all amazing

They have great food and a good atmosphere, you can look out the window at Solano Ave and feel content. The bowls have a healthy combination of both vegetables and protein and taste good. The service is fast and friendly too.

Fast, delicious, for eat in or carry out. Clever way of packaging bibimbap, which I’ve gotten about a dozen times here, for carry out. The different types of rice are all good choices. After trying the popcorn chicken, it’s hard to get anything else.

Wasnt happy with the food at all. First off they call a gross dry powder, sauce which is very misleading. I got chicken covered in a honey butter flavored powder. Some peices had almost no powder and others had a thick layer of said powder. The sweet cheddar fries were way over coated in a sweet sour cream and onion flavor. Again not good to me or the people I was eating with. Wed rather of got to Tin and Pig in Oakland and we live in pinole. For what we paid for decent with a horrorable powder they called sauce and gross undercooked and over powdered fries we could have gotten the same amount of chicken with an actual sauce and beef Bulgogi and all the fixings like kimchee and others. Tin and Pig is the place to go

Crispy chicken was amazing! Unlike most takeout places, they packaged the fried chicken so that it was covered but could still breathe, soIt stayed crispy and perfect. Very important during covid when everything is takeout.

These guys are so nice. Oh, and the food is really fresh and good. I love this place. Bibimbap is a go to here but they also have good poki bowls and kimchi burritos – yum! Not much seating but there are a few spots and there are also some tables just outside you can sit at near Petes too. If you save some room for dessert, theres a nice little ice cream joint next door also, just perfect.

Really yummy, super cheap, plenty of food for 10 bucks (on Solano!), Nothing tasted like it had been sitting around and the guy at the counter was super friendly. Also plenty of seats.I came here after Zacharys was full and Im glad I didnt wait!Tip: the canned korean pineapple soda is fantastic

It was OK enjoy bowld down the street a lot better more of a nice ambiance hot food and better presentation this place kind of a in-and-out joint. The popcorn chicken was dry and hard and void of taste..

My store is just down the street from Vons on Solano - fried chicken is great, as are the bimbimbop bowls. One of my favorite lunch choices.

Veggie Japchae add tofu is the best vegan option on the menu! Citrus sauce goes well with it, as well as their vegan kimchi! Kind and friendly associates.
