Work was supposed to have a speaker event @ 3 pm, then I was planning to mosey down to that evening's Yelp Elite event, but the speaker's plane got delayed, so his talk was cancelled. Figured I'd kill time, so I came down to Wings for an afternoon snack/leftovers for tomorrow. Interesting inside, reminds me of The Top due to hardly any light coming in. But, my my trusted Yelpers in general have given this spot good reviews, so I had to follow suit.
Since it was around 3:30 PM, their was one older lady running the bar and one waitress manning the tables. I took a seat at the bar, and she was pleasant. Didn't rush me and chatted with customers when she brought out
Their menu is got a little bit of a lot, even an "American Menu" with traditional diner-style sandwiches and sides. Read Mike G. and Mark K's reviews that Wing's homemade egg rolls are quite good, so I went with one. I got their "Minced Chicken" - aka Chicken Lettuce Wraps - to try since Mike highly recommends them in his review, too.
Best. Egg. Roll. Incredibly fresh, easy to cut in half and drizzle with their homemade sauce, which, is lite and does NOT overpower the egg roll guts - HUGH plus. There's popcorn shrimp as well as pork, best of both worlds. Mike, Mark, Sandy, Hannah are all spot-on: this is a must try appetizer! High praise for the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, too! I think I got them not spicy, which was perfect, as the mix still had a faint hint of heat; it left some heat on the sides of my tough but didn't overpower the excellent flavor. Yep, I even ordered a second egg roll to go with my leftover minced chicken mix!!
Price is very reasonable. $2 per egg roll and $9 for the chicken mix and green leafs. Ambiance isn't exactly over the top, but customer service and food are always most important on my list. I'm really glad I found Wings on Yelp a few months ago - I've seen the building for 22 years, but I always assumed it was a gentlemen's club, ha. I work half a mile away, so if anything, I'll definitely keep this place in my bookmarks for a lunch-time stop.
