Noise level: Low to moderate—mostly kitchen and pickup noise, easy to hear yourself think.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for pickup during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—mostly sides like fries; chicken-focused menu.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—better as a casual pregame or solo bite than a sit-down, conversation-forward date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but seating is minimal—assume takeout or a very quick eat-in.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like fried chicken, but there’s no kids menu or dedicated seating area.
Best For
Better for: Fast, affordable Korean-style wings when you want flavor and crunch without waiting or committing to a bar.
Skip if: You want a full happy hour scene, cocktails, or a place to linger—look for a sit-down wings bar instead.
