Hi Wings definitely is the best if not the best KFC restaurant in Austin. I ordered takeout with my friend who was visiting from NYC for the weekend, and as a current Korean New Yorker, she was so impressed! Hi Wings has really garlicy sauce, and their chicken is always really moist. We really liked their soy garlic and honey flavors, and the leftovers hit even day afterwards. They do a really great job of packaging to-go orders, so I actually recommend ordering delivery/take out if you have the chance to!

These are the best wings in Austin and it's not even close. The breading was super crispy and the chicken was juicy. Paired with the Jalapeño mayo sauce, the wings were delicious. Cool vibe, good music, and waiter was super nice. A little pricey, but definitely worth it.

Garlic Lover's Chicken Half & Battered Wings 5 (Sweet Soy Toss)
Angelica L.

Rating: 4.4/5 [Postmates delivery] We ordered through Postmates, and delivery took a while. Fried Mushrooms ($5.99): Battered cremini mushrooms with almost no flavor. We had to dunk them in the honey-mustard just to give them some taste, so feel free to skip this one. We also tried the marinara out of curiosity; the pairing was interesting but didn't help much. Sweet Garlic Bread ($3.99): Two slices of garlic bread drizzled with honey--delicious! Honey makes everything better, though I wish the garlic flavor was more prominent; the flavor was too subtle for something labeled "garlic bread." 10 Battered Wings ($20.99): You can pick two sauces, so we chose Peach Habanero and Sweet Soy. - Peach Habanero: Tasty, but the peach and heat were more subdued than I'd like. Oddly, the side sauce we tried on a previous visit packed more of a punch. - Sweet Soy: A reliable favorite whenever we test a new Korean fried-chicken spot--savory, balanced, and the one everyone kept reaching for. Garlic Lover's Chicken - Half ($21.99): Served with pickled radish. The pieces are larger than the wings, but much of that size comes from the batter. Still, each bite is an umami bomb--you only need one to feel satisfied. We saved the extra garlic-honey sauce; it's fantastic over rice or stir-fried into another dish.

Moknae's chicken gizzards
Sophanny S.

This was a great small business spot. I enjoyed the simplicity and yet delicious food they had here. The waitress was very friendly and alert whenever we needed anything or had any questions. I decided to try the moknae's chicken gizzards. I enjoyed it as I enjoy fried chicken gizzards in general. I also tried the ruma's chicken crispy pops. This was so delicious. The full portion can honestly feed 6 adults lol. It was huge. I definitely recommend it. My kids don't like spicy but they definitely ate this too. The Parmesan fries were great too. The sides we had were the fried brussel sprouts. I actually thought it was perfect how they fried these. I loved the taste and texture. And the fresh pickled radish helped tone down all the fried food I was having. It was a great balance having that. I would like to come here again when I get the chance.

We got to meet Tara today who was so friendly and quick on the service ;D The place was chill as we were super early and it's Taco Tuesday but we prefer delicious Korean extra crispy wings instead! The ONLY thing missing were their juicy breaded mushrooms ‍

This is a sports bar and the tv volume is a bit loud. The restaurant is open late. There are dividers between each table which creates a sense of privacy. I ordered the individual combo with 5 naked wings and sides of tater tots and a biscuit. The biscuit was buttery, flaky, and delicious. I had the sweet and spicy wing sauce on the side. The food was delicious and filling. Service was great until the tail end of our visit. The staff was nowhere to be found and I was in need of a to go box for my leftover food. Overall, I really enjoyed my food and I will be back.

Fire! A clean and quiet establishment (thanks to the glass walls) complete with TVs, and a QR code so you can order right to your table. Easy to share 1 tab or pay separately. Service was friendly and attentive. A good selection of beverages as well. The fries and tots were deliciously fried, and I will be dreaming of the honey garlic parm wings all week! My friend loved the peach habanero sauce, but it was tooo spicy for me.

Never fails when wanting fried chicken and fries. Food is always made fresh. Service is always attentive and polite. This time I ate inside the restaurant and didn't take it to go. I bring my phon turn on one of my Netflix shows and enjoy some times to myself. Place is always busy with to-go orders so very few people eating inside which was cool for me. This is my cheat day to eat fried foods so couldn't pass up stopping by. Place is always clean when I come in. Wish they would have one in Houston. Funny thing is I have racked up so many points from coming here I have almost $40 dollars in rewards. lol See you all next time I'm in Austin.

5 piece wings and garlic parmesan fried
Ivy T.

I finally got around to trying this place after seeing it for months, and I wish I did sooner! I ordered it for delivery and the wings were still surprisingly super crispy. get the sauce on the side! we got the jalapeño mayo and the sweet soy and both were great. they have more unique flavored compared to other korean chicken places and i'll definitely have to try more. garlic parmesan fries were also incredible. i'm a garlic girly and sometimes at other places you can barely taste the garlic, but I could smell it before I even opened the bag!

Honey Parmassion and the sweet and spicy chicken wings. I liked the sweet and spicy but not so much the honey Parmassion.
Rey K.

We ordered the food through doordash. We didn't want to go out and wanted wings. I would say overall the food is really good. I would most definitely recommend this place and will order again.

Sweet and Spicy battered wings, waffle, and fries
Jono B.

I really enjoyed it. You have to order via virtual QR code menu on your phone which I don't love but it's no biggie. The food was great. The service was splendid. The TVs inside had the college football games on in case you're a sports fan.

It is great paired with the rice, and the pickled radish is a good palate cleanser. However, the service from the male servers is consistently disappointing. Every time I visit when they are working, the service is significantly slower. I often see them standing around doing nothing while the female servers are running around doing most of the work. They rarely check in on the table unless food is being delivered, and getting the check takes forever even when they are just standing by the register. My party and I usually have to walk up to the register ourselves just to ask to be checked out. I feel bad for the female staff because they are perfectly attentive and seem to be carrying the weight of the service. Also, a heads up on their rewards program: it's pretty weak. You earn 100 points per $1, but you need 5,000 points just for a side of steamed rice. Spending $50 for a $2 side doesn't feel like much of a reward. I hope management addresses the service imbalance because the food is great, but the experience depends entirely on who is working that day.

I returned last Sunday (Super Bowl Sunday) for lunch to see if my good experience was an anomaly or a pattern. The good news is, Wingzup is consistently excellent. I would be remiss if I did not recognize the service at this restaurant. Wingzup sits in the casual market segment for restaurants, but their customer service is on par with fine dining. Stephanie and Vicki helped me out this time and provided my wife and me with wonderful service. This service was in spite of the restaurant cooking over 5,000 wings for takeout for the big game. It was a constant flow of people picking up orders from a few dozen to a few hundred wings. Despite these drop in guests nobody in the dining room ever waited for anything. I was encouraged to try their grilled wings after my Google review. Customers said they are so good...and they did not lie. I got mine naked and got four sauces to dip them in, plus blue cheese. I loved the Sweet Chili and the Habanero Ranch the first time and got them again. Also the medium Buffalo. Stephanie suggested the Mango Habanero and it was on point. One of the best wing spots in the city! Try the pickle chips and the New York Putines. The Jalapeño Poppers are also great.

And wow! Did they add, like, 20 more TV screens to the place?? It felt like we were in a war room. A bit much. Our server was a very nice woman who was on top of our table. We got beers (because: wings) and the fried buffalo wings with the korean fried wings. The buffalo ones were not crispy enough, so that was a bummer, but still, fine. We loved the korean fried ones, but they were more just like mini fried chickens as opposed to the traditional korean version (also, we did not appreciate the sticky sauce that it came out with). Our daughter was happy with her chicken nuggets. The only major party foul was the fact that our waffle fries came out cold, so we asked for new ones, and those were definitely not in the fryer long enough and they were scorching. Basically, we got what we were expecting when we came here. So, hope still springs eternal in the world of wings. Three stars, same same.

Small world! lol Brandon recommended the salt and pepper wings and shrimp since it was my first time and it was served with fried rice and a slice of bread. I really liked the crispiness of the food and batter that was used to fry it. You can taste the the flavor all in the skin. I would say the actual chicken inside the skin could use a tad bit more salt but also that could be a preference thing for me. I loved the jalapeño ranch dipping sauce which took the shrimp up a notch. The fried rice tasted like Chinese takeout rice which I believe the owner mentioned was part of the concept of the business, as it reminded him of the restaurant he had back home. I had a sweet tea for my drink which was really good as well, not too sweet. Can't wait to come back and try other menu items!

What I got was a plate of grease, garlic, and tough chicken skin with a little bit of meat underneath. Fortunately the sides of creamed corn and tater tot casserole were delicious and completely made up for disappointing meat. My husband and friend liked their brisket. We also tried the special sausage of the month - beef chimichurri sausage. It pretty much tasted like sausage. We ate outside so we could have a decent conversation but once some other guests came out and added to the noise of the music from the speakers, it was pretty loud out there too. Overall, the meal was delicious and convenient, so I'd still call it a win (with a lesson.)

Fantastic Texas Style BBQ…read more My return trip to Austin after a decade plus, I had to get bbq. After work on a Wednesday, I decided to stop by and get my fix. This location is in a strangely empty/ not busy strip, so parking was plentiful and it looked very plan outside. However when you walked through that doors, the smells and ambiance changes you. The staff have the friendly Texan charm and give you a big welcome and are helpful in choosing your meal. Prime rib special comes with 2 sides and a bread. The roll is a little lukewarm and semi-hard. For sides, I ordered them corn pudding and Brussels sprouts. The sprouts are drenched in a sauce, tasty but heavy. The corn pudding is more in the bready side, but quite nice. You can get some onions and jalapeños as accoutrements. The kick provides a nice foil to the heaviness of the meats. And that leaves the meat. The prime rib was delicious. Soft and tender with an amazing smokiness. I also ordered a half pound of brisket. It's a lean cut, so a bit dry when compared to fatty cut. But amazing and worth a repeat. Both meats made my dinner and bbq addiction complete.

Then menu itself was a bit confusing, so when one of us asked if it was possible, when ordering 10 pieces, to get 5 wings and 5 nuggets, she said YES. So, when we proceeded to order that way, she got all flustered and was like, no, no, no you can't do that! Oh, and then when we asked about any of our dishes coming with sides, only *then* did she suggest that we turn it into a combo. So, yeah, welcome to AI generation! (Needless to say, the two kids working were both on their phones a ton the whole time that we were there.) *It was cold outside and the A/C was on, so it was freezing. *Re. the K-Buffalo sauce: nothing very K about it! It was straight buffalo sauce. *Charging for a side of ranch sauce that clearly tasted like it came out of a bottle? Seriously? Lame-o. Other than the above complaints, we actually really liked this place. The vibe is chill and, as aforementioned, we enjoyed most of the food. The dumplings are 100% not homemade, but they toss them in a decent sauce so they can be more palatable (we would skip those). The fries are nice and crispy, and the brussels sprouts are excellent. So, so good, and a decent amount as well. The radishes are the typical ones you get at these joints, and they are a must. As for the main star, the chicken, it was as it should be: with shattering layers of breading and hot meat on the inside. The coating was almost a bit too thick, though. We liked the soy garlic sauce and just wished there was some actual Korean aspect to the buffalo. Prices were consistent with portions, and they do have respectable beers on draft. We have some quibbles, yes, so it's 3 stars for now, but we'll definitely be back because it's close to home and will hopefully have a more overall impressive experience next time.

The wings were cooked well and had a nice texture, and the sauces stood out in a good way--they weren't overly heavy or drenched, just a light, balanced coating that let the flavor come through without being too much. The soy garlic had a nice savory touch, while the sweet and spicy added a little kick without being overpowering. It's not the absolute best wings I've ever had, but they're definitely solid and satisfying. For a small spot, it really hits the spot when you're craving something flavorful and different. The store was small inside but it was dimly lit and had a vibe to it not bad a for a date night if i say so myself, the customer service was great and the food comes out quick ! Highly reccomend and will be back soon.
