What to order: Fried chicken wings combo, Buffalo wings, fried half chicken.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Northern Boulevard and adjacent residential blocks; generally manageable outside peak dinner hours but can tighten between 6–8pm.
Dress code: Casual; this is a takeout-first operation where comfort matters more than presentation.
Noise level: Low to moderate; most guests pick up orders, so dine-in conversations are easy.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on wing volume and delivery traffic.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait beyond standard prep time.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A handful of vegetable stir-fries and sides, though wings dominate the menu.
Vegan options: Very limited; most dishes involve meat or animal-based sauces.
Gluten-free options: No formal gluten-free labeling; fried items may share cross-contact oil.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it's built for takeout speed rather than ambiance. Great for sharing wings at home, not for setting a mood.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes; seating is limited but rarely full because most orders are takeout or delivery. Expect a utilitarian setup.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick meals—simple menu, fast service, and mild wing options for younger diners. No high chairs or play area.
Best For
Better for: Crispier, better-seasoned wings at a lower price than many nearby Chinese takeout spots; especially strong for large-volume orders.
Skip if: You want dine-in comfort, ambience, or a broad menu of non-fried items—this is a wings-first operation.
