King Kong Wings - Review - Hapeville - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"King Kong Wings in Hapeville is doing a whole lot. The massive menu has egg rolls, kimbaps in bowls, ramen, gyros, and phillys—all of which are honestly skippable. So you'll see far more folks in this small dining room hunched over wings or walking in for a 10-piece to-go. And that's exactly what you should be doing too. They’re small, fried hard and make a solid choice whether you’re grabbing wings for the game or settling into a hotel-bed dinner after a long flight. Food Rundown Lemon Pepper Wings All the wings are fried hard until very crispy, which is the ATL way. But these lemon peppers are pretty salty. There are better wing flavors here. Garlic Pepper Wings A good balance of garlic powder and black pepper coats these small drums and flats. Flavorful, but not overpowering. A solid choice. Ramen You get a big portion with standard noodles. The broth could use some help—you can’t taste anything but chili spice. Chicken Philly Loaded with peppers, onions, and melted cheese, this chicken cheesesteak is hearty and filling but forgettable. It’s still a solid option when you want something other than wings or something to eat alongside them. Egg Roll Crispy outside, soft and vegetable-filled inside. Not a standout on its own, but a nice complement to an order of wings if you want a little extra crunch. Chicken Cupbop This is a sweet, saucy bowl of chicken over rice that comes in a huge portion. It’s simple, satisfying, and easy to split—or save for later. Rib Tips These are over cooked and tough. You can find much better ribs nearby." - Jacinta Howard
