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

Mango Maddness

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.
Felicia N.

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.

Green Thai Tea
Tracy N.

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!

Koko's is a staple restaurant in this area for casual drinking vibes and consistently good food…read more Everything here is made to be good with a beer and some soju. We got the 8pc fried Pepper Soy wings and the Large Dubboki with cheese. The wings are always so good here. They're humongous, crispy, and sauced to perfection. The Pepper Soy flavor was so yummy and umami.   The trick is to get the dubboki so that you can dip the chicken in the sauce. The rice cakes are soft, and the sauce is sweet and spicy. The table also gets sat with a free side salad and pickled radishes, which is a great way to cut the richness of everything. A bite of chicken, a sip of beer, some rice cakes, and a bite of cold radishes really makes the night. Come out to Koko's for a drink, some eats, and a good casual time.

This used to be one of my favorite spots, so it honestly makes me sad to write this…read more They've made a few changes to the menu and pricing. The dukbokki can only have ramen when it's a large. On top of that, cheese is now $4 extra and ramen is $3, which feels a bit steep for add-ons. They also changed the salad sauce--it used to be more on the sweeter side, but now it leans spicier (around a 3/10 spice level, still good), which may or may not be your preference. The biggest issue, though, was the food safety concern. Our order included 8 pieces of fried chicken (4 drumsticks and 4 wings). The drumsticks were fully cooked and fine. However, the first wing piece I bit into was clearly undercooked. Because of that, we did not continue eating the remaining wings--the other three were set aside and later on, discarded into the small trash bin they keep at the table. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they told me the redness was from bone marrow due to a broken bone and that the chicken was fully cooked. However, the bone only broke because I bit into it, and the meat itself was visibly pink. Not just near the bone where bone marrow would be. The actual MEAT was red and pink all throughout. This was not just "marrow." Even zooming into the picture, you can see the meat on both the plate and in my hand was still red and pink. Additionally, the remaining wings were only visually checked by the waiter and were not opened or inspected internally, which would not confirm whether they were fully cooked. This is concerning, as a visual check alone doesn't accurately assess doneness. It also concerns me that, despite not being present, the owner claims his servers point of view as factual, including the claim that all the wings were eaten, which is not accurate. We did not consume the remaining wings after the first one I bit into. Unfortunately, there was no apology from my perspective, simply an "explanation" stating it was bone marrow. And the situation wasn't handled with much concern. I ended up feeling sick and had to go to the bathroom to throw up, which completely ruined the rest of the experience. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Between the price changes, the food safety issue, and the owner's response focusing more on defending the situation rather than acknowledging the concern, I don't feel comfortable coming back.

The auntie was really nice and friendly, she takes orders and brings out food, while the uncle either makes the food or runs the kitchen inside. In terms of food, this is my rating for each dish: Snow Onion Chicken: 4.5/5 Honey Garlic Chicken: 4/5 Corn Cheese: 4/5 Bulgogi/Sweet Potato Pizza: 3/5 I really like the snow onion chicken, it's pretty similar to the one I had in Korea. The honey garlic chicken was also pretty good, but it's not really special since many other chicken restaurants also have it and they taste pretty much the same to me. What I do like is that they didn't use too much batter, so it's crunchy without feeling creasy/oily. The corn cheese has some sweet potato pieces in it, my mom personally likes that. I find the corn cheese to have a little too much cheese, as the cheese was overpowering the corn. Same for the pizza, the cheese was overpowering all of the other ingredients. I honestly was expecting the pizza to be Korean styled, but it's basically American pizza with the meats replaced by bulgogi and sweet potatoes, so that was kinda disappointing. Overall, my family had a good time there, and we really enjoyed the chickens. I'd come back for the snow onion chicken!

I wanted to order food for 10 people and saw they had party trays. Food looked good online and tasted even better in my mouth!!! I asked for recommendations and she said that the original garlic butter was very popular both regular and spicy so I ordered 48 wings half and half.....DEVOURED. Also got the white rice with fried shallots and garlic noodles....ALL GONE! I'll definitely put them in the rotation when buying lunch for the staff.

I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

My friend and I came here and ordered the Seoul Sampler -- 15/10. The chicken was incredibly crisp…read moreand flavorful, the seasoning was mind-blowing. The bulgogi fries were also a 15/10, the fries could've been a bit crispier but i'll digress. We weren't fans of the coleslaw or the corn, but everything else was great. I'm giving it 4 stars mainly because the restaurant was empty and our server was pretty much MIA until it was time to pay. The ambiance, though, was really nice -- no heavy fried-food smell, and the music was at the perfect volume. Overall, it was an 8/10 experience, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

Rating is not for the food (I've had bonchon at various other locations multiple times so I know…read morethey are usually consistent) but for the service. Called in for an order around 6:30 PM in the evening -- they took down my name and plan was for me to pay at the time of pick up. Got there an hour later (which should be plenty of time considering it was not super crowded) and I'm met with confusion -- apparently they didn't have my order ready so someone at the counter went to the back kitchen. 10 minutes later she comes back, my husband goes to pay and we are told by the young man at the register "oh you're good" as in it's already paid for (which we clearly had not). We looked through the receipt and realized the order they gave us was the wrong order but this other customer shared the same first name. Other locations have asked me for the last 4 of my phone at the time of confirmation to avoid this. It was close to 8 PM at this point and I was so fed up with having to potentially wait for another 20 minutes (assuming my order will not be mixed up again) for them to prepare the food again and being pregnant I just opted to cancel my order and take my business elsewhere because I was so hungry at that point I honestly would have not been able to tolerate another mix up with my food. They offered to take my husband's number to have their manager reach out to discuss the situation but we have yet to hear from them.
