"If there was one thing you probably heard about the now-closed trailer, Fil N' Viet, it probably had something to do with the wings. Shatteringly crispy and tender, the wings were some of our favorites in town. So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the team’s new wing-only concept came in and hit the ground running with just as much love and focus as Wes Anderson has for pastels. Flavors traverse a course through Southeast Asia, pulling inspiration from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, China, and India, each equally pulling their weight. And if you show up on Fridays, you can get all six flavors in a “wing flight.” Find East Meets Wing in Playground ATX—a restaurant incubator on Airport Boulevard, near I-35—where it’ll be until mid-2024.

"Visiting East Meets Wing feels like a quick jaunt through Southeast Asia, all in one tiny building near I-35 and Airport. There are six flavors here that pull inspiration from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, China, and India, resulting in things like tangy sinigang wings and mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn dry rubs. The toughest part is deciding which direction you want to go, but if you show up on Fridays you can get all of the flavors in a “wing flight,” which means you can remove any future remorse from the equation.
