    Chili garlic soy / yum
    Tracy S.

    Wings are good. They made mine to order. I got all flats. The ranch is made here but I was told the blue cheese is not made in house. I loved this meal. Lunch specials looked like a better value.

    We came from the I.E. just to eat here because we were craving wings and GAHDAMNNN THIS PLACE DIDNT DISAPPOINT!!!! Juiciest wings, tastiest sauces, and chillest staff i've ever had at a wing joint also the food came out in less than 10 min (wasn't busy)

    Took my kids here to try their wings, fish fillet, shrimp garlic noodles and fried rice and all kids approved. I love their variety choices of sauce, sides as well as drinks. Their mango chamoya drink is BOMB. Service is attentive and friendly. Place is clean and well decorated with TVs and flowers. Will come back soon to try the rest of the menu.

    Great new spot we tried out. Service was great! I wanted garlic noodles with no protein so they gave me a discount. Food was fresh and hot. Wings were perfect! Tater tots were perfectly cooked, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. We will definitely be returning.

    First time trying out this place. Asked for 5 wings just to try them out and when I asked what flavors were good a customer heard and said try the lemon pepper. The lemon pepper wings were really Good and flavorful and I also had to try the garlic noodles with shrimp which was also really Good. Def recommend this spot

    Soggy wings & lack of drums made this a bad experience.

    First off I do have to say I love the Westminster location, their wings and food in general is just fantastic. It is a little out of the way for me which is why I was excited to see them open in Orange which is a lot more convenient. I ordered 15 pieces and got the jalapeno, spicy lemon pepper and red curry. I'm one of those people that prefer drumettes over flats. I do feel it's unreasonable to expect all drums, at least without paying a premium, but would expect somewhere close to a 50/50 mix. Out of the 15 wings I had 2 drums and 13 flats. I did complain about this and all they told me was if I wanted more drums I need to request it. I didn't think that would be necessary as I felt I'd get more than just 2 out of 15 pieces. So I guess next time, if there is a next time, I need to make a special request just to make sure I get an even mix of pieces. The bigger issue was none of my wings had any type of crunch to them. Granted two of styles I got were wet or semi wet, they should have some sort of crunch. It's not like they sat for 15 minutes before I dove in and got completely saturated by the sauce, I pretty much dove into them the moment they hit my table. The jalapeno, which is my favorite and my go to order in Westminster, had no crunch either. I don't know what the excuse for that is since there is no sauce to it. Soggy fried wings is a huge turnoff for me. They give me flashbacks to back when I'd eat the soggy wings you'd get from Domino's late night in college when we didn't know any better. I basically tried one of each of the 3 flavors and lost my appetite. I really hope they turn it around and fix these early mistakes. I've had too many good experiences with Socal Wings to let this one linger in my mind. UPDATE: I looked up some pics I took of the wings I've ordered from Westminster (it's been over a year since I went there) and they look night and day from what I got here. Those wings had actual breading on them which is why they're so crunchy. These had no breading on them. Not sure if all the franchises changed up their recipe or if the Orange location is doing their own thing. You wouldn't even think that they're part of the same company except the two menus are identical.

    I love this spot! The wings aren't rinky dinky like Buffalo Wild Wings or another other joints! You get your money's worth and they're flavorful! My favorites are the house special and the mango habaneros! The other ones are equally fire And they have TVs! I can watch my favorite sports. Wish they served beer too but this way I can spend my Saturdays and Sundays watching sports and wings! That's the best combo ever.

    My fiancé and I are moving in to this area and we drove by SoCal Wings tonight and popped in. We've never been to this or any other location they have. We ordered a 20 wing combo. It comes with two side options, we got seasoned fries and Jalapeño poppers. For the poppers we got a choice of Cheddar or Cream Cheese (which is awesome btw) and went with cream cheese, they were crispy on the outside and warm within. The seasoned fries were made perfect. The wings are tasty (& very big.) we ordered Mango Madness and House Style. Both were awesome. It was lots of food and we didn't finish it, but we were impressed. Will be back.

    Food was I will be back! Food was fresh, the staff was nice and I was able to order all flats with no extra charge! That's a win in my book.

    By far the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Frying food is an art. The tenders are plump, juicy, and fresh. Menu is not just wings. Lots of Asian options. Thankfully, I live within one mile of this place. The mango shush is EPIC!

    "Boneless wings" - no breading, nothing great (just juicy)

It felt completely unorganized and unprofessional. There's no excuse for that level of service especially when the restaurant isn't crowded. Definitely disappointed and won't be returning.

    Hands down one of the best Vietnamese sandwich spots! Nguyen's Kitchen is one of my absolute…read morefavorites, and this place really never disappoints. My go-to is the pork sandwich, and it is SO good. The pork is incredibly juicy and marinated perfectly, with so much flavor in every bite. I also love how generous they are with the cilantro because it really makes the sandwich for me. And you HAVE to get the green sauce on top! It has that jalapeño kick that gives the sandwich the perfect amount of spice without overpowering all the other flavors. Everything together is just so delicious. The food is always consistent and comes out really quickly, which I love. The service is always good too, nothing over the top, but everyone is friendly and everything is efficient. I've never had a bad experience here. The ambiance is pretty casual and laid back. It's usually not super loud or overwhelming, so it's a really easy place to stop by for a quick meal or just sit and enjoy your food. Always delicious, always on point, and always worth coming back to!

    Lately I've been exploring Vietnamese food and when I looked at Nguyen's Kitchen's menu, I was…read moreintrigued by some of their menu items, so I decided to go check them out. I was meeting my foodie friend there at 12:30. The parking lot has limited space, which made it an extra challenge to park. Thankfully I only had to circle the block once to come back and snag a spot. (Meanwhile, my friend got there before me and was already enjoying an appetizer). Orders are placed at the counter and they call your number once your food is ready. The dining room consists of mostly booth seating with one "communal" table, and counter seating with 5ish chairs. There are also a handful of tables set outside. I've really been enjoying banh mi and their Bulgogi beef sandwich sounded great. I also happen to have a thing for popcorn chicken, so I got an order of that to round out my lunch. Oh, and based on the rave reviews I've read about their peach & lychee green tea, I ordered one of those as well. Let me just say, lunch was very satisfying! The sandwich was generously filled the fresh ingredients and the meat to veggie ratio was perfect. I'm not sure what the green sauce was that they finished the sammie off with but it was SO tasty!! I requested the popcorn chicken with medium heat and it was just spicy enough to leave my tongue tingling slightly. My friend saved an egg roll for me and it was also really good. (The tea by the way was very refreshing.) Now, this was my first time here but I never saw anyone come out to check the dining room or wipe down the tables after the lunch rush. This was especially concerning to me because they had a guy doing work on the windows who put his feet/ shoes on the tables right under said windows. Ewww. But aside from the parking challenge and the table hygiene/cleanliness, our visit was quite enjoyable and the food was very good. We would definitely return, but we'll have to plan around the lunch rush!

It was a bit awkward because the staff was walking back and forth in front of us for a while before realizing someone was there. Place was decently clean. It took a while to get things like water refills so prepare to be patient. We ordered chicken tenders and fries and buffalo tots. Chicken Tenders and Fries- Breading on the chicken was crispy but the inside was dry. It felt like it's been in the freezer for a long time.

This is my first time trying out the bottom as appetizers, and for a second, actually looks like a good deal: all you can eat appetizers from a limited menu for $12.99 up to four people, how would you go wrong? Well for starters, it's just deep-fried starch. Honestly, it's exactly what it sounds like -- a lot of fried food. Mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fried pickles, chips, queso, and wings. Fun at first, but it gets heavy really quickly. The value isn't terrible, but at $12.99 it still doesn't feel like something I'd do again. Quality is poor for bar food and everything is very one-note and greasy. I'd probably skip this in the future and just order wings directly instead. 2.5/5.

I'm a regular patron and enjoy their menu and food quality as well as the atmosphere. The flavors all look very interesting and I ended up trying the Nashville hot bone in as well as the Kung Pao boneless. The boneless wings were far better than expected, great portion size, excellent amount of breading and texture as well as a decent sauce. Something in the sauce is a little bit reminiscent of oyster sauce, The first few wings are great, then the sauce gets a little bit redundant afterwards. Maybe some acidity could help lighten it up a little bit? I was most excited about the Nashville hot and was really hoping for big juicy bone in wings with great texture! I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad... The Nashville hot sauce is great, just the right amount of heat and acidity you can keep going back for more! Best part is, it's not too salty! The wings are really good size, large and juicy! Where they fall short is in texture... The skin is soft and soggy, reminiscent of raw chicken thigh skin. These Wings didn't get hot enough to even render the fat immediately under the surface of the skin. It made the texture unbearable, I actually peeled most of the skin off of all of the wings before eating them as the texture ruined the experience. I know they were not, but I feel like they were boiled instead of fried. I guess I am just stuck making wings at home as no one in Southern California can seem to get this right... I really wanted to like these and was really excited about them, not a big boneless wing eater, but it's the only thing I'd go back for, if I went back. Jolene's if you're listening please fix this wing texture and either give me a crispy skin or a crunchy coating. I eat wings once a week and would love nothing more than to eat them there!!! Also I had the umami sauce as well as the Nashville hot ranch, both were great, neither were overpowering and both were light enough to allow me to taste the wing sauce underneath.
