I was deciding on lunch with the fam and my aunt recommended SoCal Wings. After browsing their menu, I was sold and placed a phone order. Our order consisted of four SoCal fries (which are basically buffalo fries from The Buffalo Spot with a drizzle of cheese and ranch), a 10-piece nugget, a small fry, a large order of mozzarella sticks, a Thai tea, and a few sides of sauces. To speak bluntly, the experience turned sour for me as soon as I started placing my phone order. While I was ordering sauces, I was rudely cut off by the man working: "Yeah, yeah, anything else?" I felt like I was being rushed off the phone, even after mentioning it was my first time ordering and kindly asking questions about their sauces. The customer service here just overall gave me the ick. Anyways, onto the food. I was super excited for my SoCal fries. They have a variety of sauces to choose from, and I opted for the spicy BBQ. On first impression I was surprised with the generous portions. I ordered a small Socal fries that looked more like a medium. As soon as I dug into my meal, I was met with immediate disappointment; the popcorn chicken on my SoCal fries was extremely stale. It tasted as if they served us three-day-old fried chicken that had been left sitting out. My siblings and mom also agreed the chicken was super hard. I ended up just eating some of the fries and threw the rest away. Before tossing it, I tried drenching the fries in their Cajun sauce (which is over $1 per sauce, btw), and even though I really wanted to like it, it had a weird aftertaste. On top of that, I just couldn't get past how hard the chicken was. The Thai tea, fries, and mozzarella sticks were just decent. I'd also like to mention that when I was placing my order over the phone, the man said my total was $67 and some change. When I paid in person, the total somehow jumped to $83.69. I assumed that included the Cajun sauces I ordered over the phone, but it actually didn't. I ended up paying a second transaction for the sauces, which was around $8. Had I possibly been charged for the side of attitude I was also served? To reiterate: the service here sucks. Overall, I won't be back as the quality doesn't match prices. You'd think that a joint that specializes in fried chicken and wings would serve fresh chicken but on the contrary, my chicken was inedible, gross, and clearly old. I love supporting local businesses, but I refuse to support a place that exhibits rude customer service and serves subpar frozen food that I could throw together at home. I don't recommend this spot as there are much better establishments in the area. read more

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? If I could give this restaurant a zero star rating, I would definitely do so. I was missing a fish fillet, my shrimp was cold, my chicken was burnt but still ice cold, and my fries were so burnt that they were almost black and orange. To top it all off, the restaurant had the audacity to place a balled-up napkin at the bottom of my fries, as if it were supposed to make them look full. This experience was absolutely appalling and I highly do not recommend this restaurant under any circumstances. read more

Horrible!! Horrible!! Super Bowl, Sunday, Wings. My order was honey garlic Sriracha wings. They were naked!! Skimpy, skimpy sauce. Where's the sauce!! I have been a customer for the last four years and authored one of the first complementary reviews. Tremendously disappointed. More than half of my wings had almost no flavor. This was the only place I would get Wings. Did you change cooks??? Are you the new owner?? I now need to reconsider. read more

This establishment has been my go-to spot for wings. Before this location opened up, I usually drive from Long Beach to SoCal Wings in OC County and back because it's deliciously good. Might say I'm doing too much, but when you want something, you just got to get up and do it. I love their chicken wings, especially the Dynamite wings, my number 1 picked for flavor. They have pretty much everything, not just chicken wings, so check them out and explore their menu. Big thanks to aka Candie and her team for the great customer service. Very friendly and easygoing. Was very helpful when asked about their menu or popular items of the day. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Main: 1. 15 pcs Chicken Wings (5) Dynamite Wings (5) Smokin Spice Wings (5) Jalapeño Peppers Wings Cook fresh upon ordering to give that satisfaction taste. What can I say? Expectations met and satisfied. Their freshly cook when ordered to deliver that crispy flavorful wings are out of this world. Im more of the dry-rubbed type of guy cause I'll do the moisturizing with their ranch dipping on the side or extra sauce of your choice upon request. IYKYK! I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is limited, so best to come during non rush hour. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY! read more

This place should be called skimpcal wings. They were graceful when they first opened but over the years they just been getting worse and worse. I ordered a mango madness socal fries no cheese and they drowned my order in ranch instead of the sauce for the chicken. Not only that they only gave me 5 little pieces of chicken with my fries. Tf am I paying 10$ for only fries. They need to stop giving out skimpy orders this is the 3rd it's happened. read more

The food is delicious and fresh and my number one recommendation is their zucchini fries with ranch dressing and a side of their spicy sauce. The fish, shrimp and ZUCCHINI FRIES ARE THE BEST IN LONG BEACH!!! read more

Omg where do I start this place was disgustingly bad. The food was horrible the restaurant inside was extremely dirty. You can tell they are lazy and low budget or simply just don't care to clean. The service was ok the cashier was nice but the food and cleanliness was horrible read more

I hate to do this but omg, this was probably some of the worst tasting food I ever had. I had a little of everything and NOTHING tasted good. Had to throw the food away :( read more

I heard such great things about this place. Got our wings to go. I like that they offer a choose of either drums or wings and drums. That's cool. Portion of fried zucchini was really big. The wing fries or whatever were just ok. Very heavy on sauce, so there was no fry flavour left. We must have ordered the wrong wings. Because nothing was really spicy. We couldn't tell which was spicy and which was not, from the descriptions. Can't comment on the service or interior as we got it as take away. read more

This place was recommended to me by a coworker, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the house wings, Sriracha wings, and the lemon pepper wings. Out of the three, the lemon pepper was my favorite. It wasn't made like traditional lemon pepper wings but was made with a semi-wet sauce. The service was great, and the ambiance is perfect for taking someone on a date. It's mainly a place to get your food and go, but they do have seating inside. read more

Delicious every time I really like their hot lemon pepper and the crisp of their wings is perfect. I also really enjoy the fried rice and I'm sure that the other things they have on their menu is good. I haven't tried anything here that wasn't good yet. read more

My niece said this place was better than wing stop so I had to try it yesterday. I ordered the buffalo and lemon pepper wings with fries. Everything was so good. The fries were seasoned so well. The music in the establishment was fire. The service was good and quick. They made sure to ask if you wanted dipping sauce. They even gave us a coupon. I will be back. read more

SoCal Wings - Music selection 10/10 - Chicken Wings Near Me - Long Beach, California

I visited this place today for the first time in over 3 years. And let me tell you the food has drastically went down. It just was not as good as it used to be. So unseasoned, smaller portioned fried rice and just not good like it used to be. I asked the young lady how big are the egg rolls. And she responded ( oh they're big) so I ordered 4 crab n shrimp. These things were a little longer than my pinky and wasn't fatter than a quarter. Lol. What a joke. That ground meat inside tasted nor looked absolutely nothing like crab and shrimp. This place looked all grungy and unclean. I should have ran for the hills when I had the chance. But I thought the food was still good. Bad choice. Never again read more

The food was hot and fresh. I didn't go inside, my husband did. I highly recommend the jumbo shrimp. read more

First time here today after living in Long Beach for 4 years and I am KICKING myself for not getting here sooner. Husband and I were craving wings and drove past here and wondered if they were any good. We found our new wing spot! The wings were so crispy and cooked perfectly. We got the original buffalo, garlic parm and the spicy garlic buffalo. All were amazing. Not one damn complaint. I cannot wait to try their other flavors! No pictures because we were starving and immediately dug in lol oh and the staff was really nice. We asked how much marinara sauce came with the mozzarella sticks and she said a large container and my husband was debating if that'd be enough and I said just get more if you need it and when we opened the bag she has tossed in an extra marinara sauce which I thought was nice. read more

Originally from Atlanta, and maaaaan the wings from SoCal making me feel like I'm at home! So crispy and flavorful

Wanted to try since I always pass by and omg nope not for me. I got the spicy lemon pepper and they taste nothing like any lemon and the seasoning tastes/ smells old and it's not spicy at all! If why it's called "spicy" tbh, also, the wings are so small like the size of my pinky paid $8.37 for 5 pieces ‍ read more

Two pieces of shrimp and this one crab leg in a large gumbo. I called to inform the establishment and it was stated, "that's how it comes". Just so you know, and you're not expecting anything different. read more

The spicy lemon pepper was delicious, the salt was perfect, it was crispy, overall a good wing flavor :)

Had the honey garlic siracha and spicy lemon pepper wings. Both were good but was slightly disappointed with the honey garlic siracha. It was too sweet for my liking. Was hoping they were spicy with a touch of honey but they had a lot of honey/sweetness. The wings were large and meaty though! Major plus! Also had the catfish filets. They weren't very crispy but the better was good and the fish was meaty. Lastly, got an order of the corn fritters - think fried corn balls. They were pretty good. Overall food was good read more

Ok came here after reading some reviews on this place! I got the 10 piece wings with mango madness and house special. I also the 5 piece jumbo shrimp and fries! Wings were good, almost all flats 8 of 10 wings and only 2 drumsticks.. Why? Lol so i knock off a star off there! The shrimp was ok with a bland taste, nothing amazing, the cocktail sauce not good IMO. The cajun fries were really good as many people mentioned here with a drink option. So all this for about $27 dollars is kind of steep. Food is getting expensive everywhere around long beach. They have a 2nd location in westminster california also. The place is big and right on the corner of PCH and Atlantic. They have an ATM inside. Parking in the back not an issue but could be dangerous come late night but they have a door in the back that leads into the restaurant. Very nice people running the place. Overall i wouldn't spend $27 dollars again for the items i got. read more

Love this spot! Food is better than Buffalo Wild Wings, and WingStop. Better to call and place order because it can take a while to serve.

Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. Service was good. Various menu options. Jalapeño wings! Chefs kiss.

Ordered the honey garlic sriracha, buffalo gold, and garlic Parmesan wings. Along with tater tots and rice. All the wings were very tasty in there own rights. Each with its different flavors. Cooked to perfection. The tater tots and rice were a nice compliment to the wings. Highly recommended read more

This place is a good spot. it is very convenient when you want finger foods and a nice cold drink

Wanted some fried fish and this was the closest place so i pulled up. Ordered fried shrimp combo with fries and a drink thinking they gave adequate potions. Total was $15. Why i get home and it's 5 little shrimp in a box and a MOUNTAIN of fries. Charged me $15 for 5 shrimp and fries. Like LMFAOOOOOO. I'm good. Probably won't be back because of that to be honest. read more

Coming from Buffalo, wings are definitely my comfort food and SoCal Wings are actually pretty damn good. Each wing is relatively small, but the sauces are well crafted. This would have been a 4-star review, but the biggest faux-pas for me was despite asking for blue cheese as my dipping sauce, they gave me ranch. I almost cried when I tried it, because the anticipation of eating those tasty wings with blue cheese was what kept me going all day. I should have checked it before driving away, because I also asked for honey mustard during my phone order, but got two dipping sauces of ranch instead. Ah well. The wings themselves? Pretty good, although smaller than I would like. The Buffalo garlic wasn't crispy enough, but the dry rubs definitely were. If they could nail the crisp on the Buffalo garlic, it would be impressive. For my sides, I got the cajun fires and the cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was more of a bunch of chopped pickles, not as refreshing as I expected. The cajun fries had a nice crisp, although a tad on the saltier than I would like with the seasoning. I got takeout and everything was packaged well. I'll be back, and looking forward to updating the review to a higher rating then! read more

Called in to Order. Answered the phone immediately. Friendly over the phone. Asked me when I want to pick it up. I said 10 mins and it was ready by the time I arrived in 10 mins. Friendly staff. I ordered 10 pcs lemon pepper all flats. Wings were good size. Crispy. It's a semi wet sauce a hint of sweet and tangy it was really good. The meat was not dry. I prob would like to try the spicy lemon pepper next time. read more

I wish I had more pictures to share, but this is going to be my go to wing place in Long Beach. I am a all of her of Asian fusion food and I love the fact that the flavors here are very much Asian inspired. Not only that I feel like they fix the food when you order. I've been here now three times and my food is always extremely hot. Items that I've tried here is the fried fish. I really liked it the next time I order it I would just tell him to fry the fish a little bit harder, but it was very well seasoned it with flavorful. I have also had the Cajun shrimp except I did not get the Cajun I got the house sauce on them and it was not what I thought it was going to be the house sauce is a little bit more water down then thick, but it had a really good taste. Next time I think I'll go ahead and try to Cajun. And of course I have had the wings and I have had no complaints about any of the sauces that I've tried. I love the house special and also the garlic Parmesan those are probably my top, but I've tried the others and they are good too. Just the fried wings with no sauce is really good too! I recently went in and there was a young lady that helped me and she wasn't as friendly. She wasn't engaging and she actually forgot to put fries in our order and we end up having to wait close to 10 minutes to get the fries. Good thing is we got hot fries, but I didn't like the fact that she went back-and-forth with me about the fries not being in the bag when I told her they weren't. Not a big deal, but customer service is key. I'll be back to visit soon. read more

The food is great and the service is A+. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there isn't much of an ambiance. It's sort of a hole in the wall. They can use some renovations. But other than that they have great wings and I love their slushes!!! read more
