    Combo

    Ordered the 9pc soy garlic wings and the galbi combo, and it was roughly around $45. That was little steep in my opinion. The flavor of the wings were great. Slightly sweet, and savory. But when I think of Korean fried chicken I think of crispy/crunchy wings. These were just soft. And not even because the sauce made them soggy, they were just not crisp at all. So that was a miss for me. The gable combo was just ok. Came with a decent amount of meat but the sides weren't my favorite. The kimchi had an off taste, and the japchae definitely wasn't fresh. Almost as if it was previously refrigerated and they tried to heat it up to make it palatable to serve but the noodles were still stuck together. The rice had a hard patch on it so you can tell it was just over exposed to heat just sitting in the rice cooker that it dried out. The bean sprouts were tasty though and the broccoli still had a good crunch. I'm glad it wasn't over cooked. The restaurant space is quaint. And we had came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was only one other table there prior to us. So we were able to sit anywhere and our food came out at a reasonable time. So service is good but unfortunately the food fell a little short to me.

    Boneless soy garlic fried chicken combo

    Came here on a Wednesday for lunch and it wasn't really busy. Came mainly for the lunch combos and kimbap. I got the boneless garlic soy chicken lunch combo with a tuna kimbap on the side. I love how it came with different banchans, kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli, japchae, gyoza, and rice. The chicken was nice and juicy and still crunchy. The kimbap came a few mins later as they made it and it was so good too! It came with some broth on the side. I saved half of the meal for later because it was so much. Would come back to try other things on the menu and the same things as well. My coworker got the tofu soup and she liked the banchans as well.

    Yang nyum chicken 9/10, soy garlic chicken -9/10, Tteok-bokki - 10/10, soon du bu - 7/10, bulgogi -4/10. The fried chicken was good and I recommend trying. The highlight was the Tteok-bokki. It had just the right amount of fish cake and rice cakes. The bulgogi was VERY dry. I hope they fix it. The soon du bu was a little blander than expected. The restaurant itself was interesting. I walked in thinking it was a fast casual restaurant because the waitress took our orders at the cash register but then served us water and our dishes. I thunk

    Came here for lunch and it was pretty quick to get my food. I saw they have popular Korean street food here so gave it a try. Sodukk sodukk: B Two skewers of crispy rice cake and mini sausages, covered with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. I've seen this in Korea food videos, and while nothing mind blowing I did enjoy this a lot. Extra crispy boneless chicken: B- Super crispy exterior as promised, and chicken was very juicy and tender. By itself it was a bit bland to be honest. After I tried it with the hot sauce packet I would say it was enjoyable.

    As soon as I walked in, I wasn't greeted at all, then was finally acknowledged after I was looking at the menu. The cashier/server gave her recommendations on which chicken wings order & made sure I had everything I needed at my table. You order & pay at the front first, then sit anywhere. 6/10 - S2 Yang Nyum Chicken with sides: the chicken was 10/10, it was delicious! The sauce was a nice balance of sweet, sticky, & slightly spicy; other than that the sides dish (broccoli, bean sprout, & potstickers), kimchi, & japchae were not good; kimchi was bitter, japchae lacked flavor, & the potstickers were meh. 9/10 - Fried Seaweed Rolls: these were cute tasty nuggets of goodness; the shape of them made them fun to eat. 8/10 - Sodduk Sodduk: the sauce is very similar to the sauce of the Yang Nyum Chicken; rice cakes were crispy, but slightly hard; sausages were yummy.

    Food was okay and good until I got finished with everything and ate the japchae. There's a thick rubber black glove piece that looks like it's been soaking in something wet for ages. Serious health concern at this restaurant.

    YANG NYUM CHICKEN
    Dalena H.

    This place hit the spot for korean fried chicken. Wasn't too busy on a late Friday night. Food came out very quickly especially since we ordered fried chicken. I got the yang nyum meal which comes with 4 wings, 4 sides, 2 gyozas, and rice. The sweet and chili sauce was delicious. Was not spicy at all. Pretty good sized wings. Don't think it's double fried though. I sadly did not like the kimchi that came with my combo. It was sour and bitter.

    Galbi plate

    Wanted a quick, not too fancy, local spot for dinner. Found Ttobongee on Yelp and thought we'd support a local spot. Spot looked busy- good sign. BBQ smell was evident and inviting. Prices were on the high end for a "fast food Korean" spot. They were short staffed because some of the tables needed to be cleaned and there was only one person who served as the cashier/busser/etc. She said she was new - sweet girl, was working hard. Ordered 2 short rib plates and a spicy pork plate. Came out to about $60. Spicy Pork: Good flavor, not too sweet, would get again. Galbi (short rib): Have had better but was still good and satisfying. I enjoyed all the side dishes that accompanied the plates: daikon, jap chae (although noodles were noticeably over cooked), broccoli, and kim chee. I would say a smidget overpriced for the quantity but would still come back because of location to my home. Left satisfied!

    Whole chicken
    Linh N.

    Their individual chicken pieces are worth it. The whole chicken is very small more like a hen but it's still very moist and delicious. Their beef short ribs were flavorful. F Overall flavor is great but price point is high for the amount of food you're getting.

    S8. SEAFOOD TOFU SOUP
    Laura T.

    I got the seafood tofu soup to eat there and some chicken to take home. The tofu soup was great! They didn't have beef so I had the seafood and it had a lot of protein in it. A good variety of seafood too. The soup was very filling and the side dishes were nice too. I got Maip Dak half chicken to go and boy am I crying! It is so spicy! The burn lasts for a few minutes too. The chicken is nice and tender & was cooked really well. The interior is small but there is plenty of seating.

We did the Wednesday deal and it affords you one flavor and a sauce per ten wings. We ordered the garlic parmesan with blue cheese and the peanut butter with ranch. Both wing flavors were very strong but not overpowering. We really enjoyed the fries as well. Perfectly crispy, if but a bit oily.

    Oh how the greats fall…read more About 10 years ago, when Fire Wings started popping up, it was legit one of the best wing spots around. Unfortunately, its time at the top was short lived. Year after year the quality and service declined, and eventually I stopped going. I rarely order delivery, but wings sounded good and Fire Wings is the closest to me, so I gave it another shot for old times sake. I have dined in at the midtown location before and it's fine, fast casual and usually busy late night. Today, I ordered the 10 wing combo with plain fries. Hot take, but I've never liked their seasoned fries. They always feel overcooked and oily to me. I got mango habanero and lemon pepper, added five extra fire wings, and an extra ranch. The total would've been $38, but I had a $10 off coupon, so it came out to $28 before tip. Still expensive, but that's delivery pricing these days, not really the restaurant's fault. What is their fault is the size of these wings. Look at the photos, they were like toothpicks. I used to love Fire Wings because they served good quality wings with a lot meat on them. These had to have had less than an ounce of meat each. And it wasn't just a few of them, like 80% of the order was undersized. I honestly feel like they might have set aside a bunch of small wings for delivery orders, because the last time I dined in they were not this ridiculously small. The fries were whatever, basically standard frozen fries. I do remember that they used to give a ton of seasoned fries back in the day, but it looks like they also skimp on fries as well these days. The ranch was just okay, nothing special. The mango habanero was solid, one of my favorite wing flavors. Lemon pepper was just okay. And the fire flavor, which is supposed to be spicier than regular buffalo, tasted exactly like regular buffalo. This will be the last time I give Fire Wings my business. I have to accept they just aren't what they used to be. At this point I'd honestly take Wingstop over them for bigger wings and better sides. It's a shame, because the one thing Fire Wings always had going for them was their range of flavors.

I got the mild because at hot chicken places mild is more like an actual hot anywhere else, but it was exactly what I was craving- very good crunch, moist, and spicy. The tenders themselves were just as good, and the house sauce was super good as well, went perfectly with the spicy chicken- it was less mayoey than roosters, but not in a bad way, it may have been thicker too. Lastly the fries, they had an amazing crunch, definitely some of the best fries in the Sac area, super super crispy and seasoned super well to go with the sauce. Definitely give this place a shot if you're craving fried chicken, or even just some good fries. We will be back at some point, probably for another Sac concert.
