    Cheese sauce
    Andy N.

    I visited SoCal Wings yesterday. It was fairly crowded when I entered in the evening. Super friendly service. Tons of different wings, so many different flavors to choose from. They also had a shrimp menu, a boba drink menu, and lots of other items that I didn't get to order. I did order a set of 15 different wings. I got five pieces of spicy lemon pepper, five pieces of the house special, and five pieces of the fish sauce wings. All of them were amazing in different ways. Very addicting to eat. I also got a side of ranch. I really enjoyed the meat ratio of the wings. They were fried to perfection. I will definitely come back.

    come here for the house special flavor wing. Definitely needs rice though imo so get a side of that! They had a new flavor - hot honey lemon pepper very good Mango habanero flavor - did not like at all. Tasted like a sweet chamoy candy Jsut garlic - plain and simple. I really like this one too Buffalo garlic - American flavor classic. Good with ranch. Their Cajun fries were so crispy and seasoned well, lightly battered. The zucchini fries were killer. They let you get 5 wings per flavor which is very generous compared to others

    This wing spot is hands down one of my favorites! My boyfriend & I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. They've got great family deals, and while prices have gone up (like everywhere else), the flavors and quality have stayed consistently amazing. The food is always fresh and fried to perfection. I usually stick to the wings, but I also love the SoCal fries topped with boneless wings, plus their tater tots and fries are always a hit. The whole family has their own favorite flavors, and honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of them. My personal go tos are the Honey Garlic Sriracha, Mango Madness, and House Special. I've tried most of the menu over the years, and everything has been delicious. Service here is always friendly and reliable. They answer the phone quickly, take orders accurately, and make sure everything's ready when you show up. It's a small hole in the wall kind of place with limited seating, but we've never had trouble finding a table when we want to dine in. Most people grab their orders to go anyway. They even have a restroom (just ask for the key), which is perfect when you need to wash up after digging into wings. Now that we've moved back to Westminster, I'm even more excited since we're closer than ever. This is the spot I recommend to anyone looking for amazing wings in the area.

    Solid place to get your hot wings :) I went here with my co-worker to grab our lunch and it was poppin on a Wednesday. Their Wednesday hot wings deal is affordable and hearty. The ambiance looks like a student cafeteria, which mainly attracts the younger crowd. So fosho you'll expect greasy with a Vietnamese flare in it. The service is outstanding and accommodating to say the least :) I ordered their 5 piece garlic chicken wings (they only have an increment of 5 wings for their deal) and their garlic Parmesan fries. Damn reminds me of the high school memories I have eating these stuff after school. Overall, I would go here again for our break.. solid choice to go in Westminster :)

    1. The wings were nicely fried and very flavorful! I love the chicken chunks in the garlic noodles! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is roomy and nicely arranged! 3. There was only indoor seatings! There are a lot of tables! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with our order! The food was ready in about 15 mins! 5. Parking lot is small but not busy! Spots are single-lined and not compact! Note: The customer restroom was temporarily closed! Photo: Garlic Noodles, Red Curry Wings, and House Special Wings

    Lemon pepper wings
    Minh V.

    I visited SoCal wings because I'm easily influenced by the Internet. I thought the wings were OK. We got the lemon pepper wings to try to see what this place was all about. A lot of the people in my party really didn't like it. But when I brought it home to my husband, he thought it was delicious! When we got in, we were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered quickly and had to wait a little while for our wings to be cooked. Overall, I think that I would stick to Wingstop because it's much cheaper than this place. But if you wanna try a different wings have added it! The space was clean and organized. There's nothing I can complain about. Will I be back? If my husband wants to try it in person.

    House special, garlic parmesan, spicy lemon pepper, and fish sauce wings for take out
    Vivian T.

    The best wings in Orange County! The wings are fried to perfection, large in size, and very juicy. My favorite flavors are the house special and lemon pepper. The cajun fries and onion rings are also great sides and always come with a lot to share. Staff are friendly and the restaurant has a lot of seating. They're also great for takeout - definitely recommend ordering about 15-20 min in advance since they fry the wings fresh! Overall great wing spot!

    Courteous and kind customer service. Clean tables and seats. The wings took a while to come out. It might have been about 15 minutes. We were the only customers in the restaurant. The lemon pepper wings were not the usual taste (like from Wing Stop / Buffalo Wild Wings). The texture was a bit wet vs other places would be a dry rub. The wings seemed to have had lemon juice on top. The chicken was decent, but the lemon pepper didn't really taste like it.

    Meal for two.

    I have been to SoCal Wings a couple of times in the past, but I have to say when they changed ownership within the last year or so it has been so much better! My boyfriend and I were warmly greeted by the cashier and recommended some of their more popular flavors. We decided to get the 15 piece wing meal + an order of their homemade wontons. The wing flavors we got were mango tango, honey garlic sriracha, and spicy garlic buffalo with a side of waffle fries. You could tell the sauces were made in house. The wings were bigger than most places I've been and the wontons had a ton of stuffing. Just delicious! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable wing spot.

    The worker was really nice but the socal fries have changed since the last time I was here (which was a while ago) and I don't like the new ones as much Socal fries (house special): 3/5. Would have preferred more sauce and the chicken was a bit dry Green thai tea: 5/5

    Kent D.

    Special thanks to Chris and Chenda for being awesome! We tried three flavors: Buffalo Gold - a perfect twist on classic buffalo with bold, tangy heat Honey Sriracha - sweet with a spicy kick, our favorite Lemon Pepper - a dry rub done right: zesty, savory, and addictive Every bite was crunchy, well-seasoned, and super satisfying. And the staff were friendly and welcoming.

    Ask the Community - SoCal Wings

    Is there any gluten-free meals?

    I don't think there can truly be gluten free, unless they reserved one fryer with oil just for that. If it's fried in the same oil as everything else , it's not gluten free .

    Does anyone know how to make their honey mustard sauce?

    Ask google she knows everything

    Does anyone know if they are open during this pandemic?

    Yes they are open for takeout, I would recommend calling to order rather than ordering there though.

    Do they deliver (DoorDash or Grubhub)?

    Yes, they do . Doordash , Grubhub, Postmates, and Ubereat.

    Can we order 100 wings with 20 flavors, which mean 5 wings for 1 flavor?

    I think each flavor needs a 10 wing minimum

    When is the 2 for $20 deal (like is there a specific day) or can is it for any day of the week?

    Thursday

    Does anyone know if the traditional wings are coated?

    Yes they are but you can ask them for no batter if you like

    Does anyone know if their wings are fried naked, or is it coated in some form of starch (corn starch, flour, panko, etc)? Asking due to dietary restrictions (gluten-free, low-carb, keto).

    They are definitely breaded I heard the girls calling it a batter. You can ask for the wings with no batter though

    Any deals on Tuesday or Thursday? Or some kind of deals like bww and wingstop

    Hi! They have $0.75 wings wednesdays! There is also a 2 for $20 deal with 15 wings, a side, and two drinks!

The salmon crudo was good, not blown away, but the caprese. Mmm! It came in a ponzu sauce and was this beautiful blend between Italian and Japanese flavors. So good. For our mains, my husband got the Seafood mafaldine and I opted for the Mala lamb pizza. This was such a unique pizza flavor, the hot honey sauce it came with tasted like a spicy, sweet curry and the pizza itself was delicious. Crispy crust, a little bit of cilantro for freshness. So good. To top it all off, we got the Blueberry pavlova and hazelnut cake. Both of these were incredibly indulgent and absolutely worth it. I think we were full for a whole day off this meal. To wash it down, I had the Highball with Suntory whiskey and a Calamansi Sidecar. I loved the assortment of Japanese whisky here, the cocktail menu was more tastefully curated than just trendy. On top of an excellent meal that I will be salivating over for a while, our server Danny was great! Super attentive, friendly, helpful and just a delight. Highly recommend!

We ordered 3 things - vongole pasta. Previously they offered it uni but this one had claims and shrimp. We also got the pesto and the calamari. Calamari was crispy but it also was slightly too salty and seemed to be a lot of batter. The calamari pieces were small. The pesto pasta was okay, but the pesto wasn't the traditional pesto. I couldn't put my finger on it but it must've been the dashi. The udon was cooked well though. Soft, definitely not al dente. This vongole was the biggest miss. It had a taste that we also couldn't figure out, but it was not enjoyable to eat. We left the meal very dissatisfied. The friend I went with, who has gone before, also agreed it was disappointing. As someone who hates to waste food, we were very close to leaving nearly half of each dish there. My friend ended up taking it back. Later that evening, we both were feeling off. Idk, perhaps it was a coincidence. In the end, it was a truly sad experience.
