International Wings Factory

I got the chance to try this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I found parking on the street nearby. I walked into a small cozy restaurant. This restaurant is on their last days which is sad so make sure you get there so you can get some good eats! I had: BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich 4 Piece Mexy Q Wings Chipotle Mayo Dipping Sauce 4 Piece Vietnamese Chile Mango Jalapeño Ranch Dipping Sauce Panko Crusted Brownie with compote Berry I loved the food and the Mexy Q Wings were my favorite! Get to this restaurant before they close their doors in the coming weeks!

Small little spot but definitely worth it. Not a lot of seating if you are looking to eat there but I did take out and it was so good. I got the Tandoori wing lunch special which was really good. Tandoori is a dry rub that had a little heat but wasn't overpowering at all and thay it coming from someone who cannot handle heat. Definitely get your fries dusted. I went with the lemon pepper and it was delicious. The star of the show was definitely the chicken birria quesadilla. IT WAS AMAZING! You cannot come here and skip this it really is thag good. This place packs a lot of flavor and the price is very fair here. Definitely will be back

I absolutely love the extra extra crispy wings. I'm so happy and grateful that this restaurant will remain in business for many years to come. The owner is such a kind and wonderful person. Many blessings and continued success!!! I will definitely be returning soon.

I've been holding off going to this spot for awhile and decided to go there today. Delicious wings, friendly staff and a down-to-earth owner. Thank you for the hospitality and I'll be sure to recommend you to my chicken wing lover friends :)

Great wings at this spot - perfectly crispy yet juicy! For the most part, pretty sizable as well. A few were small but they preemptively addresed the issue saying as much and they’d add extras - all good! And I love they have so many varieties of rubs and sauces. I just wish I didn’t have to choose just one for an order of 12, though the one I picked, Nashville heat was excellent. But along with the onion rings which were also excellent great, it was a rather filling meal so would probably go with fewer wings on a return visit.

Found this place on Eater and this place did not disappoint. I’ve been craving traditional buffalo wings (original confession) and it was amazinggggggggg!!! I love that you can customize the crispiness. Deepak also went out of his way to make sure the sauces were pasteurized since I’m pregnant and I thought that was really thoughtful. Check this place out! I will definitely come back!!

We've been ordering in from this place frequently, but I was curious to experience the ambiance and savor a fresh, hot sandwich in-house. Regrettably, it's not a dine-in establishment, but the food is simply extraordinary. The wings are a standout, with flavors like garlic parm, chili mango, and black pepper teriyaki that were all exceptionally delicious. Alongside the wings, we indulged in two sandwiches; the BBQ fried chicken sandwich was a succulent and crispy delight. If you are in the neighborhood definitely try their food. You will not regret it.

I eat wings often so I think my opinion might be useful. My opinions on the wings: the classic is pretty standard, nothing special but it's not bad either, the garlic parmesan wings are delicious but I tasted more butter than garlic, honey mustard is good and taste like what you expect, BBQ wings also taste as expected. The bacon cheese fries are amazing, the macaroni and cheese is good. Service is lovely, and the staff is kind honestly no complaints.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying some amazing wings that truly stood out. They were flavorful, perfectly cooked, and had just the right amount of heat. I highly recommend giving them a try!

I created this Yelp account just to review this wing spot. I've never encountered such exceptional service and honesty in a NYC restaurant. We tried their original buffalo wings and honey mustard with cilantro and blue cheese dips, and it was our first visit since it has great ratings. The cashier informed us they had a batch of smaller wings, which was fine by us, as we didn't have any expectations. She even offered to add some extra wings to make up for the size--who does that in New York City? The wings were crispy, beautifully presented, and tasted amazing. Plus, we ended up with plenty of extra wings. On our way out, we learned about the chef from NY times ariticle who started this concept -very impressive! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for the best wings and top-notch service.

Not my favorite wings in the neighborhood. I have pretty high expectations, especially because there are SO many good options in the UES. Ordered 18 wings, a side of fries, and had to pay $2 more for carrots & celery. Came out to about $45. The price isn't bad nor the problem to be honest. We got the Mexi Q and American Gold flavors. Both were on the sweeter side and not very impressive. I also thought the chicken wings were on the smaller side. Fries were very salty. I will say that the Jalapeno ranch was good!

Looking for a lunch spot, walked past, saw inflation specials in the window, decided to stop and try it out. Ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with small fries. It wasn't a long wait until the food was ready, being the only person inside the restaurant. The fries are freezer fries, as a stand alone, they're terrible, some overcooked. The chicken sandwich, was that the inflation special portion size? The chicken fit about half of the bun, the bun was extra greasy, way too much mayonnaise. Not sure that I'll give them another try because the food was underwhelming.

i feel like it's better than wingstop but not the best wings i've ever had. the food: got both bone in and boneless extra crispy wings, for flavors i did: vietnamese mango, Louisiana hot dry, and garlic parm. the only one i really liked the most was the mango and i would skip on the boneless bc they're pretty dry. fries were good, onion rings you can pass. also note that you have to purchase celery on the side. the space: it's very small with just a few seats the service: service was kind!

The wings didn't taste as clean as they've could have been (prep). The sauce was good though, fries were decent. Price was good though you get your money's worth but if you pay a bit more you can get better elsewhere. The staff were really helpful though, ambiance? It's a hole in wall in nyc so not much to judge but it was cool I didn't see a mouse tap dancing or anything it's pretty tidy.

Amazing chicken wings spot with a HUGE selection of flavors and options to choose from. The store is small but have great deals from dining-in. Service is friendly and helpful.

Delightful staff, great food. Wide range of options, everything looked delicious.

Was perusing Uber eats and came across this place located in Yorkville. I love wings and decided to order this for lunch. Order arrived on time and still hot! 7 piece extra crispy wings: hot, crisp, juicy but cooked perfectly. I decided to get sauces on the side: Vietnamese mango- holy moly this has real mango in it and a touch of heat, addictively good! Must try Mild buffalo- vinegary and a hint of butter Jalapeño ranch- insanely good and pairs well with the hot sauces For sides I chose Mozzarella sticks- thick, gooey cheese interior, just a bit too salty for my taste . Marinara sauce included and is good to cut the richness. Creamy red cabbage slaw- crunchy, has a nice bite to it All in all a dope spot that I will definitely have to check out in person next time I'm on the UES. Lots of unique flavors to try and a variegated menu is a plus.

International Wings Factory are some of the best wings I have had for two reasons: flavor and crispiness. The culinary training and background of Deepak shine through in the product. I ordered them extra crispy, which would be the sweet spot for how you would likely want your wings. I also ordered them naked with the sauces on the side, which is how I would order them to go , because they were crispy when I got home and...listen to this...They were crispy the next day simply warming them in the oven, not microwave, without a convection oven or air fryer assist. They are not audibly as crisp as Korean wings, but all other comparisons for the wing connoisseur, these wings are crispy and you can order them one step crispier if you like yours fried hard. I go into all this, because a true wing connoisseur gets into these details. The wings here have flavor to the bone, the only way I would order them, but to each his or her own. Deepak 's preparation of the wings involves some type of brining or marinating. There is also some care in sourcing the wings too if I am not mistaken. So a lot of details are given attention here, as well as their own sauces they prepare at International Wings Factory. Nothing is coming out of packets or poured out of jugs, save for the ketchup. The details matter here. I can confidently state the wings here will please nearly anyone's palate with sauces that range from mild to very hot. I had the Vietnamese chili mango and the Confession buffalo type sauce. Neither of these was particularly challenging in my opinion and those who like it spicy will likely want to step it up to the third and fourth levels of heat here for the sauces. The Vietnamese chili mango was actually less spicy than the Confession. The Confession was very tangy, but neither was salty. I like places where they produce flavor without all the sodium or overly salty taste. Their fries are not an afterthought. I had the regular fries and sweet potato fries. Both were excellent and those who are connoisseurs of fries will be quite pleased with the results. There are better fries out there, but no one will be looking for them here. One recommendation would be to develop an in-house sauce of cinnamon, maple syrup and mustard or smoked paprika for the sweet potato fries. All of a sudden, the sweet potato fries would be a hit unto themselves... The one downside to all the attention paid to the details would be the price is a bit steep for what one receives. 25 wings will run you $45, plus whatever else you order. I'm certain inflation has influenced the pricing here, but it is something to consider when one has tons of options in NYC. If you're looking for something on the side or to watch the game, these are your wings. If you are looking for sustenance and substance, you have other options. There are a handful of small tables where you can sit and enjoy them fresh and the small place is comfortable. Deepak and the folks here are personable and welcoming. It's not at all a factory. Three and a half highly recommended stars!

Probably the worst chicken wings I have ever had, if you try to make your food taste awful on purpose, it still wouldn't taste this bad. Dry inside out, flavorless, and I feel the ick after consuming their food along with inflammation effects and bloating They probably use the worst quality meet there is

Weekend in NYC brought us to this Mecca of wings that are probably some of the best even in New York! Teriyaki wings were truly amazing with a hint of black pepper in the sauce,but the wasabi aioli almost stole the show,I could have bathed in this stuff! it was the perfect balance of sweet heat.I gotta get back here to try more options.there wings are also available on the Goldbelly website if you can't make the trip to the big city.

Staff was super friendly and helpful when placing order. Food came out super hot. I had the Vietnamese chili mango wings. The sauce has a nice kick with a hint of sweet at the end. I probably would've gotten them a little crispier but the flavor was great. However the sides were subpar. I was really excited to try Mac and mozz. Texture wise it is great but lacked flavor for me. The Cinnamon chipotle beans and rice were interesting. I wanted to like them but I think the cinnamon was just over powering. Not pictured are the onion rings that were super crispy with the chipotle mayo. Loved those ! All in all I would try once more on a whim but not gonna go out of my way when I want a cheat meal.

I ordered the 7 piece wings with the Original Confession (buffalo) sauce and a side of the regular fries with the southwestern seasoning. Both were very good! The wings were juicy and had a ton of flavor. It was easy to order online and have it ready for pickup. I'll for sure be coming back to this place soon!

Best wings in NYC! Super flavorful and comes with different sauces to complement the seasonings. Great service and staff as well

Wings are good. I mean great but the Birria I had was NOT. Service was great. Very good customer service and pretty fast. Ambiance was okay. Small place.

Was walking around while waiting for my cat at the ASPCA. Found this on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I love their buffalo chicken salad! Chicken cooked crispy with great flavoring. I also placed an order to go of naked wings with their most popular sauce. Delicious and highly recommend for everyone to try.

The wings here are the best in the area and the staff are amazing - friendly and helpful. The prices are a little higher but you definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommend the garlic Parmesan and the lemon Cajun. Really glad we finally tried this local gem out especially since they are so close to home.

Had family that was in the mood for wings. Saw the reviews, seemed decent. There are various flavors to choose from. What can go wrong with BBQ wings. These wings had no flavor, the BBQ sauce had no flavor. They looked very appetizing but the sauce lacked flavor. Maybe it was an off day. Want to give the benefit of the doubt. Not to mention, I do not like flies being anywhere around food. Too many flies getting on the food which to me personally is not sanitary. Would I return, most likely not. But what may not taste good to me and my family. May taste good to someone else. It's best to try for yourself. The ladies at the counter are nice, you will find the service to be great.

Long-standing wingstop with a very cozy interior and bright lights. Not many people inside on a Saturday night with a few tables still free. Prices have definitely gone up in recent years for wings, and this spot is no exception. Decided on four Wings with the Chili Mango Sauce ($7ish) and the Lemon Butter Fried Chicken Sandwich ($12). Wings are as good as advertised, meaty and cooked perfectly with a sweet and spicy sauce drenched on top (as well as to the side). Sandwich was a letdown - too tangy and an unbalanced flavor, though the chicken tenders were juicy. The dish did come with fries though, which was a repreove from the sandwich sauce. Service is quick and they have napkins and water to the side. Would stick with the wings and enjoy

Sooooo good! I always get the lemon pepper wings. Sometimes they can be salty. I did not enjoy the cheese fries but the regular fries were good.

Really good wings. I got the soul purifier sauce because I like spicy and it wasn't toooo spicy which was great. A little expensive. Would order again though!

I love this place. The chicken was amazing with the array of flavors they have as an option. It's rather small inside so if it's a busy day you most likely will need to take your food to go. My only issue is the price. With it being so expensive, this will be a rare treat. I purchased a meal for four people and I was over $70. Which is a shame because I'm sure business would be better if the prices were more reasonable. All in all, I do recommend.

Good was great service was outstanding. I asked them to remake my fries and they dud so without question. I will come here again. Wings were hot and juicy!!

Dropped by today and got a mixed lunch to try them out, after reading the good reviews. Regular chicken wings with different flavors (BBQ, spicy), boneless chicken wings (garlic), sweet potato fries, Mac n cheese. All in all it wasn't bad, and not too expensive (around $35 for a sizable lunch for 2). But nothing exceptional, or that I wouldn't find at a decent pub or sportsbar. The boneless wings were pretty dry and chewy, kinda disappointed; the bbw and spicy wings were decent though. Everything else was alright but...I was hoping for a bit more.

Sadly the food did not meet my expectations. I ordered the Vietnamese Chili Mango wings, the "Red Onion" Rings, and the Panko Crusted Brownie. If I were to order from here again I'd choose a different wing flavor and order them either xtra crispy or xtra xtra crispy. I wouldn't order the onion rings again becuase they were too salty for my liking.

My friend, D, and I didn't know what we were in for coming in here. We just knew we wanted wings. I knew D liked the wings cause he was having a good old time licking the sauce off and eating every little bit of flesh and leaving the bones clean. I was shocked too. The wings were fried just right, and not covered in batter but didn't have to be. The seasonings shined through and spoke for themselves. The flavors carried some serious umami and my nose was definitely on fire. No regrets though, some of the best I've had in a long time!! Def wish to come back someday.

Wings weren't that good. Price listed on yelp is inaccurate. But the fries were super bomb.

I was in New York City and I was hungry. I was looking around for a quick place to eat and I was checking out Yelp and was reading some reviews and I decided to give this place a try and I'm glad I did. Upon walking in. I was instantly greeted by the owner, and a very friendly worker. I was explained the menu and I decided to go with the bone in wings and garlic Parmesan sauce, along with some mac & cheese, and some mild blue cheese dressing and Gorgonzola crumbles. The food is made to order and it was piping hot when it was served to me and very delicious, the place is super clean and I really enjoyed my experience there. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Best wings I've found on the UES, bar none. Have tried multiple options of dry rub and sauced wings, yet to be disappointed. When you order extra crispy, they are done perfectly. Both the tikka masala dry and Nashville dry rubs deliver on flavor. Buffalo, American Gold and Original Confession sauces have all been tasty. Yes it costs a bit more than many of the area bars, but the product is higher quality.

I ordered from ubereats the Traditional Wings with Black Pepper Teriyaki Sauce. It's was good the only con is that I didn't order more lol I also ordered the Panko Crusted Brownie.

$25 for 12 wings???? Are these wings made of 18k gold? What a joke. I can't imagine a restaurant that cares about their customers less than this place. They said it's hard for them to survive. Well with no customers willing to pay $25 for 12 wings I can imagine it would be hard to survive. Do everyone a favor and close up shop now so we don't have to look at your insulting prices for your average to below average wings.

I loved my dinner from here! I started off with a small order of wings in the american gold sauce, which was a delicious honey mustard with a little bit of spice. The BBQ chicken sandwich was delicious as well, and a really large portion with red cabbage coleslaw and tomato. The side of fries with the sandwich was delicious and fried perfectly. The presentation of the meal was carefully put together, and the staff were very friendly and thoughtful in preparing my order accurately.

Great wings with great flavors! I like that you can customize how crispy you want the wings. I never had tandoori flavored wings and they were great. The fries were just ok with the Siracha cheese sauce. I would skip these next time but definitely would go back for the wings. The fried brownie was amazing!

My girlfriend and I are on the hunt for the best classic wings shop in NYC, and I'm proud to say that International wings factory now ranks near the top of that list. A poultry eating veteran of 30+ years, I consider myself an expert when it comes to the art of the chicken wing. As you can see from my pictures, I don't eat wings like no b*tch, I eat it down to the BONE bro, cartilage and all. As part of our taste test, we ordered the classic buffalo (because how can you make a good wing if you can't make a good classic?) and the vietnamese mango chili as our wildcard pick. Doing our hw in advance, the tandoori chicken and lemon pepper also seem to come highly recommended by other top yelpers. Too many people overhype the sauce when it comes to choosing the best wing. However, true wing connoisseurs understand, that when it comes to the best wings, what matters is how you COOK the wings, and thats where IWF gets the job done. Right from the first bite, it's the perfect mouthful of crispy skin, tender juicy meat, cooked to perfection, not too dry, not too raw. Complimented by the tangy sweet goodness of a perfect blend of sauces and spice, IWF masters the art of the wing, combining a quality wing, cooked to the tits, with top notch sauces. Every bite was a creamy poultry orgasm in my mouth. Order IWF for your next night with the boys. I promise you boo boo, you will NOT be dissapointed.

Wasn't as good as expected. Ordered chicken Burria quesadilla, Mac and mozzarella, and battered mozzarella sticks. Everything was just ok and not very flavorful. I'm not sure why this place gets such good reviews. The Birria didn't taste like anything with some low seasoned quesadillas. Ended up throwing away the mozzarella sticks because they weren't worth it after eating one bland stick. And the Mac also didn't taste like anything.

i had high expectations and was thoroughly disappointed. Not sure if they were having an off day but my experience was different from the patrons who rated this place highly. The dry wings were decently seasoned but bone dry, and the sauces on the sauced wings were mostly sweet in flavor profile, but lacked in overall flavor. The buffalo wings were okay but nothing special, could get similar wings at any local bar joint. If you want outstanding wings, go to the west side and order from blondies sports, thank me later.

*3.5 down to 3* Ordered delivery wings - 12 wings for $22. We did the mild buffalo sauce and the delivery was quicker than the expected ETA. Overall, good not exceptionally great but the wings were a good size. They were also a bit softer than I thought - I thought it was be a bit more crispier even without choosing the extra crispy option. Not giving the full 4 stars as it looked like one of my wings had looked like there was an undercooked portion of meat in one of my bites near the bone.

Wings were great! I came right when they were closing down for break (which isn't on their hours list), but they still made my order. Food was fresh and super flavorful.

A friend and I tried this place out for dinner. The wings were solid. We had the mango chili and parmesan wings. The mango chili wings were slightly on the soggier side. Overall a good spot.

These wings are phenomenal. I really wish they would open a few more locations in the city but with that sometimes the quality suffers. So keep doing your thing. I'd definitely recommend if in you're up in the UES. You can request extra crispy if you prefer. Really great flavors!!

Was craving wings and heard about this place so gave it a try. I got the lemon pepper wings, mild wings and a fish cesar salad. I enjoyed my fish salad. The wings weren't to my liking and lacked flavor. The service was ok. Overall just a ok outing

Ordered wings via delivery on an NFL Sunday. Overall was very satisfied with the wings and efficient delivery, would definitely recommend this place if looking for wings delivery. Prices were very fair too. Got their Buffalo and teriyaki sauces and both were delicious as well as their fries. Wings were hot upon delivery and good size.

Excellent wings! The sauces are on point! The box was of full of fries which was unexpected.

This place! I love you, but i do not like you!! For all of the right reasons! Great wings!!! Great mother loving wings!! Not breaded, fried to perfection, or longer for my peoples who like well done wings, seeping flavor out of every single one. Better than what wing stop should be today, but nostalgic of the wing stop wings of down south from years ago. Unique and more familiar flavors and that jalapeno ranch??? A must try! The dipping sauces all do what they are supposed to do. I haven't had this in person, so I haven't tried their fries, but i have had their mozzarella sticks, to be fair, they are probably better in restaurant, i do not feel they travel well, they are underwhelming, but i would definitely try them in store to give them a fair review, i can say they ARE cheesy, the texture of it cold was slightly off putting. My mister and i are looking forward to the experience in person, seeing as we have only the delivery perspective. But again, GREAT WINGS!!!

The chicken wings are the best money can buy in America!!! Highly recommend you try the soul purifier flavor! The staff is very kind and quick- the owner is the nicest guy around!

Really likes their mac and cheese. Wings are great. When im visiting the area from the bronx, i usually come here

The wings here are very good, but pretty expensive since the minimum you can order is 12. We got the boneless wings with mild buffalo sauce which was really good but pretty standard. We also got the traditional wings with mild buffalo sauce and they were very good. Lastly, we got the naked wings with sauce on the side, which were still crispy when they were delivered. I would order from here again.

I wanted to check this place out for a while now and glad I finally did. Ordered 7 piece wings extra crispy with the pure heat sauce and an order of regular fries. The wings were cooked crispy as I ordered them, the only thing I recommend is when you do want them crispy to eat them at location itself as they tend to get soggy if you do take out or get the sauce on the side. Fries were alright, a thicker cut fry. Only thing I can say here is that for some reason they came out 5 min after I got my wings. Not sure why this happened but would be nicer to get my whole meal at once instead of a little here and there. Seating is limited so if you do want to dine in when it's busy you might be out of luck. Will come back to try a different sauce and try the extra extra cooked wings but be aware that they take a little longer to cook.
