From the moment we sat down, she brought such positive energy and genuinely kind vibes.

You can tell she really cares about the customers, and that goes a long way. We made sure to leave a tip because she truly deserved it! Definitely coming back--not just for the wings, but for Angelique's amazing energy and service.

I'm really disappointed because my experience here a couple months ago was good. We dined in and…read morethe wings were fresh, flavorful, and it made me want to go back. Yesterday I was nearby so I decided to treat myself. I ordered an 8-piece combo with 4 Mango Habanero wings, 4 plain wings and fries. I paid extra for vegetables and ordered a fountain drink. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. The food came out lukewarm, almost cold. The fries were soggy, the wings were very small, dry, and overcooked the little amount of meat next to the bone was black. The Mango Habanero barely had enough sauce to even notice the flavor. What made it more disappointing was the price. I paid almost $27 for food that tasted like it had been sitting out and reheated instead of being cooked fresh to order. Meanwhile, I'd highly recommend New York Chopped Cheese & Lets Wing It in Mid City on Venice and Redondo instead. Their wings are bigger, more flavorful and the fries are actually seasoned. During lunch hours you can get wings, fries, vegetables, and a drink for $13 including tax. I really wanted Hot Wings Cafe to be consistent maybe I needed to dine in cause they have to be on their toes when you are in their face. The waitress we had went dining in was outstanding and the food was actually good then but after this experience, I will never order to go.

They offer a variety of chicken dishes including wings, karaage, and even chicken parts such as gizzards and cartilage. You can also get combo chicken meals, bento boxes, sides such as rice and shishito peppers, and sauces to accompany your dishes. I can be a creature of habit when I find something I like, so I've only tried the popcorn chicken. The crispy texture and hint of spice is always on point, and the service is fast and personable. While I often see people ordering food to go, there are also a smattering of tables and seats if you decide to eat on site.

I thought I ordered lemon pepper wet, with fries but my mistake I ordered the honey lemon pepper. The fries were really good with the seasoning on them. But the wing flavor, I didn't like. I could barely eat 2 wings, it was too much honey/sweet taste. Even tried to eat them the next day to see if the flavor calmed down, but it was still too strong. Since it was my mistake I can't say much about the other flavors. I hope the other flavors are better, but I would recommend the fries.

I came here on the hunt for buffalo wings. I saw this place on yelp and decided to give them a try…read more Sigh, sadly it was not a fan favorite. First, the pricing was high to me, $17.99 for a 10 PC! Yikes. I got 10pc buffalo with fries and half/half lemon pepper and soy garlic. The buffalo wings themselves taste like boiled chicken. I cant explain the experience. When you bite into buffalo wings, you should taste the meat flavor fusion but I tasted the chicken and then a sauce or seasoning on top. The soy garlic grew on me once I had two of them. The lemon pepper, no thanks. The medium buffalo, I could tell by the smell it was not the original buffalo flavor. It may have been made in house and the flavor had a lingering vinegar after taste. Once is enough for me. Ill kiss that $42 goodbye!

Shlap Muan Chicken Wings is a Khmer-style (Cambodian) chicken wing shop located in Long Beach and…read morethey recently opened another location in Monrovia. This Long Beach location was ranked #11 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in 2025 ( https://www.yelp.com/article/top-100-us-restaurants-2025 ) and was also featured on Yelp's Top Places to Eat in Los Angeles County in 2024 ( https://www.yelp.com/collection/aZNpF_pkeP4dRlKMoIVabw/Top-100-Places-to-Eat-in-LA-County-2024 ) and 2025 ( https://www.yelp.com/collection/7W0mtzOd0VN51jeIAL2_Bg/Top-100-Places-to-Eat-in-LA-County-2025 ). Customers can also find Shlap Muan Chicken Wings at Smorgasburg at ROW DTLA every Sunday. [Parking]: Easy and free strip mall parking. [Atmosphere]: The shop has indoor tables but no TVs, so don't come here expecting to watch sports games. [Ordering]: I placed an online pickup order and my food was ready 5 minutes before my specified pickup time. [Menu]: For wings, there are pan sauces and wok sauces. Their popular Dirty Elvis flavor falls under the wok sauce category (wings tossed in a sweet and smoky caramel sauce). Each order of Dirty Elvis comes with a minimum of 10 wings, but customers can choose a split-flavor option with 5 pieces of Dirty Elvis and 5 pieces of another selected flavor with online orders. For Shlap Muan Wings (pan sauces), customers can order a minimum of 4 pieces per flavor and two highlighted flavors are Cambodian Dirt (lemon pepper) and Water Buffalo. *** Dirty Elvis (10 pieces total - Split Flavor on Cambodian Dirt - $16.00): Those 5 Dirty Elvis wings were absolutely amazing - crispy and saucy. The Cambodian Dirt (lemon pepper) wings were solid, but in hindsight I probably should have just doubled down and gone with all 10 pieces of Dirty Elvis. Shlap Muan Wings (4 Pieces - Water Buffalo, $6.50): The dipping sauce had a good spicy kick, but it definitely will not be everyone's cup of tea especially for people who (1) are not fans of Buffalo wings or (2) cannot handle a mild version of Sriracha spicy level. *** S-tier for the Dirty Elvis wings and A-tier for the Shlap Muan Wings. For anyone who is a fan of Korean fried chicken or even Vietnamese fried chicken like Mama Hieu's, then Shlap Muan Chicken Wings is definitely worth trying.

Shlap Muan is the real deal for chicken wings. I discovered them at Smorgasburg and wanted to visit…read moretheir sit-down location. The restaurant itself has a few tables, but it gets busy. The interior is no frills, which means they prioritize focus on the food. I got the 2-3 peeps, which includes 16 wings and a large side. I got the garlic noodles, which was a solid and filling choice. There was an option to choose up to 3 flavors for the wings, so I went with Cambodian dirt and wet buffalo. Both were delicious! I will warn you that the buffalos is a bit spicier than expected, and tasted a bit different than what I had at their Smorgasburg booth. Nonetheless, I loved my meal. Overall, I love Shlap Muan's chicken wings. Service was also A+. I'll definitely be back

The soy garlic flavor is a must-try--super tasty with the right balance of sweet and savory. The spicy one also has a nice kick without being overwhelming.
