Best Wings in Astoria
Master Critic Review
Lim's Kitchen
8.4
A Korean-leaning kitchen where the wing lane earns its keep with crunch, sauce balance, and better-than-usual late-night reliability. Keep the order tight—one wing style plus one supporting Korean comfort plate—so the textures stay sharp.
