Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable earlier in the evening but tight after 7pm on 5th Ave and surrounding residential blocks.
Dress code: Casual; hoodies, jeans, and streetwear are fully appropriate for this fast-casual bar setting.
Noise level: Moderate-to-lively, especially during peak dinner and weekend drink hours; conversation is possible but not quiet.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for counter/bar seating; takeout waits can stretch during peak delivery rush.
Weekday lunch: No wait; food is usually ready quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—mainly sides and rice dishes; wings and burgers dominate the menu.
Vegan options: Very limited—no dedicated vegan entrées; best for sides only.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free program; wings and sauces may contain gluten, so proceed cautiously.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want a casual, low-pressure meet-up. The bright fast-casual setting and moderate noise make it better for a quick bite than a long, intimate date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter-service with open seating. Weeknights are easiest, while weekend evenings may require a short wait to snag a table.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids and teens who enjoy wings and burgers. There’s no dedicated kids’ menu, but the casual layout and quick food turnaround make it workable for families.
Best For
Better for: Fusion-style wings served over Chow Fan rice, quick service, budget-friendly combos, and a brighter, more modern setting than classic bar-focused wing spots.
Skip if: You want traditional Buffalo-style wings, a quiet sit-down environment, or robust vegetarian/vegan options.
