so first off before I get into it, [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's no seating (see picture for reference), and it's on the corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] there is a lil bodega across the way which is where we got some lemonades to wash everything down, and you order either online, by phone, or to the cashier (what we did). It took maybe 20 mins, which was perfect. now, it's show time. holy hell. my boyfriend RAVES about this place all the time, and we finally went as a pre-AYCE snack. it took all my strength to not change my mind to eat here instead. when I think of chicken wings, I think of 3 flavors on the spot: buffalo, lemon pepper, and garlic parm. never, in my big back days, did I think to combine buffalo with garlic-parm (in this case, garlic bacon parm). I couldn't even wrap my head around it before I ate it and while I was eating it. I have to confess that I don't even like buffalo, the tang and that feeling in the back of your mouth that makes you want to drink a full glass of water after? I always hated it. don't get me started on the color/the way it stains EVERYTHING. BUT THIS RIGHT HERE? screw my white shirt, I'll use it as a napkin for these wings. Serg idk who you are but you're my new hero. Plus the spice level? not crazy hot, maybe like hot cheetos level (the regular hot cheetos, but also the flavor is too good to care about the spice) Their ranch is also hella good, and I don't like ranch like that. This place is making me redact all my statements about foods I DON'T like. If that doesn't tell you enough, idk what will. we will 100000% be back for more than just a 5 piece. I might even wear a white shirt next time. read more

Solid spot! Ordered delivery since it is take out only, so have to factor that into the freshness of the order. I found the chicken to have a little bit of that moistened, soggy texture from the packaging but that's to be expected from a takeout spot. We had the traditional buffalo wings with lemon pepper boneless wings and were surprised that the boneless wings were better! They don't look like much, but they were so moist and tender it was delicious paired with the lemon pepper seasoning. The buffalo wings were good! Nothing to write home about. Rounded our meal out with an order of wedge fries which were great for those who like soft thick fries. Overall very good! read more

A coworker and I took an Uber from the Embarcadero to Hot Sauce and Panko to grab wings for lunch. We have another coworker that comes from Richmond, to hang out after work in the city and go get wings at least 3 times a week. They good but not 3 times a week good. My opinion. I have gone before but didn't realize it was such a thing. The wings are good. They are crispy, crunchy, flavorful, and fresh. The price point isn't quite worth it for me. You get 5 party (drumettes) sized wings for $7.89 + tax. However, another city hot spot. Go check it out for yourself and let me know. Holla.... read more

We ran three blocks to try Hot Sauce and Panko just as they're closing for the night. Ordered the Chris's (8/10) and KFC (7/10). Oh man, Chris's was so good, loved the hot honey and the crispy wings. Service was fast, waited around 10 minutes for our orders. Next time, I want to try Ledroooo's lemon pepper and ultra waffle sandwich! read more

Hot Sauce and Panko - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came to try some of the best wings in San Francisco, and they weren't bad. We got satay and the sauce was nice, the chicken was warm and juicy they just weren't crispy at all. We also tried their fish and chips for $11, a steal in the city. The panko crust was pretty thick and heavy. The fish inside was kind of mushy from how long each piece needed to be fried, but it was hot, crispy, and great value for the size and price. The tartar sauce was nice, there was wasabi in it which surprised me in a good way. My favorite item here was surprisingly the tempura battered potato wedges. They were crispy but soft inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'd go again if I was in the area, but there is no seating so takeout is best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

These looked so good in pics I had to try it! We door-dashed it as it is a to-go place. Wings were $8 for 6 wings of each flavor so price was reasonable. 1. Fire wings (Buldak) 2. Mango habanero 3. Panko The fire wings were my favorite, they were soo spicy yet flavorful, def keep water by your side before starting to have them! I'd say mango habanero was really good too, I think best way to describe it is it tasted exactly like Wingstop, which has a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I was really thrown off by the panko wings since I usually don't like dry wings but they were so crispy and the panko sauce with them was the perfect compliment. Definitely coming back here to try more flavors! read more

Tried this place because of the reviews--and it did not disappoint. We had the waffles, lemon pepper wings, and the chicken sandwich. The waffle was so good, easily a standout. The wings were great too--honestly didn't even need ranch. Just a heads up though, they've got a little heat... sneaks up on you like a ninja at the end. Service was fast, which is always a plus. Definitely a must-try spot. Just be advised, the portions are on the smaller side, so you might want to order a little extra. read more

Takeout spot only that does fried chicken right!! - panko fried chicken sandwich (5/5) : the chicken was crispy and juicy! Coleslaw was the right amount as well as pickles. Perfect ratio of things - chris' wings : chicken wings were juicy and fried well! The flavor i chose was a little bit too honey forward - i would opt for a different flavor next time! read more

I wanted to see what the hype was all about so came here right after having lunch! Couldn't believe that there was a line forming right in front of the restaurant on a Sunday at 1pm. I soon realized that the line was for those to pick up their orders. There is a sign posted to order by scanning the QR code. The website was easy to navigate but waiting for my order was a bit of a headache since you have to stand right by the door (with the crowd) to hear them call your name. I ordered two different types of wings - Panko Wings and Soy Garlic Wings since they were the most popular ones. The soy garlic was sticky with a nice coating, but the meat had no flavor. I did enjoy the panko since it was nice and crispy. The sauce that was given did make it taste better. I'm glad that I was able to finally check this spot off my list. Curious about the taste of the other wings if I ever come back. The wings are definitely on the pricier side given that it was almost $20 for 10 wings. read more

The waffle and Chris's wings were cooked nicely and yummy. The potato wedges were okay. Wait times can take up to 20-25 minutes even though there were only three people ahead of me. It's best to call or go online to place a pick-up order. Decent customer service. Street parking only. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No indoor or outdoor dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ordered to-go, wings were delicious! I tried the Mango Habanero, Buffalo, and Lemon Pepper. Mango Hab was my ABSOLUTE favorite -- loved the sweet & spicy combo. The wings were so juicy and delicious. They have so many flavors, so definitely want to try some of the other options soon :) read more

I finally checked out this tiny place after seeing a small crowd outside this spot many times during the weekend lunch hour. I now understand why! There are only 5 wings per order ($7.89+ tax), so you'll want at least two orders. The KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) wings and Soy Garlic wings are equally excellent. Note however that these chicken wings aren't the OG, jumbo, double-fried kind that you would get at a Korean establishment. Quick service (if there isn't a line). Takeout only. You can order at the window or pre-order on their website. If you order in person, they give you a small buzzer to notify you when your order is ready. Credit card/ApplePay and cash payment are accepted. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No seating or bathroom nearby, so take these home or somewhere where you can wash up afterwards.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Hot Sauce and Panko - Menu 10/09/25 - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been wanting to go this place for awhile now and now I finally had the time to try it! I went here around 2pm on a Friday and there was no wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyways, I ordered the Garlic Bacon Parm Wings and Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. I liked the flavors of both items, but some items could've had more sauce since the sandwich felt dry. I was also disappointed in the size of the wings. It seems a little too pricey to buy 5 small wings for the price I paid for. The wings did taste very good and I was able to taste the bacon parmesan flavor it has though! I'd recommend this place if you like flavorful wings even though their wings are on the smaller side. read more

Yummy, a to go spot only, no dine-in available. The panko burger is delicious and solid size for a meal. Order a panko sandwich($8.79) and 5 piece chicken wings ($7.89). A slight line/wait on the sidewalk during lunch. If you order through QR code, wait 10 minutes and head to window to ask for order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A hole in the wall spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken sandwich was crunchy and juicy, has a few cucumbers and slaw which compliments well with the sandwich. The lemon pepper wings (wet) were flighty spicier. So next time, trying them dry might be better. Overall, items were large and delicious for the values, read more

I got the Lemon pepper buffalo sauce just to try something new and it was decent. I just think it was too tangy and acidic for me. It would be good with some honey drizzle to balance it out. The wings for regular sized and not too crispy. It was sauce very well and came out pretty quick. I would come back and try other flavors. read more

Cheap and quick food! I ordered at the window and was served my to-go food around 10 minutes later. I ordered their 5 piece chicken wings (Lemon Pepper Hot) and tempura wedge fries. Both came out to around $13. The fries were piping hot, crisp, and flavorful. The wings? Idk...I ate the wings 10 minutes after they served it to me and it wasn't CRISPY??? I was shocked. I know it's coated in sauce but I've had crisper saucy wings before. Maybe I need to come back. The flavor was good though! read more

I ordered their Panko Fried Chicken Sandwich online and it was ready in about 15 minutes. In general, it's a good price point where after tax it was still under $10. It's a hefty sandwich and you get a large piece of chicken. The breading is crispy and there are many pickles. I found the chicken to be a bit dry, and although I ordered the HOT version, I didn't get any kick from it. There was also a hint of a spice (maybe nutmeg) that I personally was not a fan of. read more

I'm a big fan of Hot Sauce and Panko! I always get their garlic bacon parm wings which are delicious! The wings are always super flavorful. The lemon pepper is also great and a 5 piece wing order makes for a great snack if you're craving wings. It's take-out only but you can order online or there is a QR code outside the pick up window. I'll have to go back and try their chicken & waffle sandwich next time! read more

Second time coming here. They have 5 wings special for $7.89 and boneless are also available. They also have a waffle special for $12.59. They also have sandwiches and sides to go.

I don't crave chicken wings often but this is definitely what I would want when I do crave them. They were moist and seasoned well, and I felt like there were a lot of good flavors to choose from. The portions were also bigger than I expected. My favorite was probably the soy garlic! The biggest con is having to pay for ranch/any sauce read more

Hot Sauce and Panko - Boneless lemon pepper wings and soy garlic wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Francisco, California

The online order system is not bad and pretty easy to use. I was surprised when it estimated my wait time as an hour and they took every minute of that for my order to be ready. One of the best thing about Hot Sauce and Panko is the eclectic flavors on the menu. I like to stick to the classics but there are definitely some interesting flavors if you're into that sort of thing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you arrive there are tons of people milling around the entrance and there is a line.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] People in line are not ordering (it's online only and you can't order at the counter), they are waiting to ask if their online order is ready. It would be very helpful if they had a monitor showing which orders were ready and which ones they are still working on facing the outside. I paid around $27 for 15 wings with 3 different flavors (no fries, veggies, or blue cheese included). Chili crisp (which had a sweetness I wasn't expecting since chili crisp is not sweet) hot lemon pepper and dry Sichuan. The dry Sichuan were missing the traditional peppers and garlic. Of the three, the hot lemon pepper were my favorite. I wouldn't go out of my way to have wings from here again but I thought they were not bad. read more

I tried Hot Sauce and Panko before through a friend and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to finally try it for myself. We ordered half Chase's Wings and half Leedroooo's Lemon Pepper Wings. This time around, it was just okay for me. The wings tasted more like they were heavily drenched in hot sauce than I remembered. We ordered online for pickup, and the service was great, our order was ready right when we arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also didn't realize beforehand that it's mainly a grab and go spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it was fine, but it didn't live up to my expectations, especially since I was really looking forward to having it again. read more

The fried chicken sandwich with wasabi pickle is also delicious! It's good piece of chicken breast, very thick and flavorful. The fried chicken sandwiches with honey sauce is good as well! The order to go services is quick and on time. Great to pick up for your lunch. Definitely recommend to try the Korean wings! The pricing is great! read more

Chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious. Flavors were on point and so tender. Wings were also delicious. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well.

Favorites: Old bay wings - sweet and salty Panko wings - salty crunchy dry Korean wings - so saucy sweet spicy Chili crunch wings - sweet spicy salty The fire wings were too spicy for me but my husband liked them. I thought the buffalo wings and boneless wings were just ok. Fries were steak fries and kinda soggy Will definitely be ordering again. read more

Is it dramatic to say this could be my death row meal? Lol I absolutely love their lemon pepper wings and their wedge fries! I could literally cry with the freshness, flavor and absolute deliciousness. Their wedges are perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Make sure to get their ranch, it's extra but so worth it! You can preorder or go to their window. You can only order to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't be fooled by the week days as this place is very popular so it is busy on those days too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Hot Sauce and Panko - Korean buldak panko - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Francisco, California

We swung around to grab a quick bite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's no seating; it's take-out only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a few QR codes around for you to order from, or you can walk in the few square feet available for customers and order at the counter. We ordered the soy garlic wings, panko wings, a honey fried panko chicken sandwich, and a side of wedge fries. The soy garlic wings were tasty! Juicy, not too salty nor sweet, and had a nice "soul-stickiness" feeling to them. The panko wings were the real show-stealer. The panko breading was crispy and immaculately seasoned, and the wings were also incredibly juicy and tender. My only regret was not ordering more. The chicken sandwich was okay. We had it a bit after the other wings, but the slaw and honey had already soaked into the chicken, making it a little soggy. Unfortunately, no option for no pickles / no slaw, if either don't catch your fancy. The flavors were okay. The wedge fries were surprisingly also very tasty! They had a very firm crisp to them, and were nicely seasoned. read more

We tried the Korean, Chase, and old bay seasonings. I'm going to be honest I didn't like the sauces. It could've been the ones we tried but they were all very salty and lacked flavor. The best one was the Korean flavor but not sure I'd order it again. The waffle was super crisp even after carrying it home. I'm willing to give it another go as I liked the waffle so much and there were so many sauce combinations. read more

Best chicken wings I've had in a very long time. Small walk up spot with quick service. I went at a slower time and I'm assuming during peak hours the wait is longer. I ordered double hot, soy garlic, salt and pepper, lime, and Jamaican jerk. All were fantastic! Just under 8 bucks for each order. I can't stress enough how good the wings were. Super crispy and fresh. My favorite was the lime (chilli and fish sauce), jerk was my next favorite. Least favorite was the salt and pepper but my kids absolutely loved those. Don't expect customer service here just place your order and wait! It's worth it. read more

Hot Sauce and Panko - Double Hot and Soy Garlic - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Francisco, California

My boyfriend has been raving about us having to try this place since he kept seeing it on social media, and when we finally got the time to, we did! It's on a quaint little corner along the Nob Hill area where you can find street parking (although be aware that it can be difficult sometimes). This is more of a grab and go place, so prepare to just take your food and find a spot to enjoy it (we went to a nearby park with a view). We ordered the following: - Al pastor & crema: 4.5/5 this one was my favorite! Amazing flavor that's both strong and reminiscent of particular taco spots I've been to. The only thing I would wish for is the chicken being more crispy. - Buldak: 4/5, this is my second favorite of the ones we ordered. Unlike the al pastor, this one had a good amount of crisp, with just the right amount of spice. The Buldak sauce flavor was anticipated since it's basically the one in a bottle, but it was a good pair with the umami taste of the chicken. - Hot lemon pepper: 3.75, I wasn't too impressed but my boyfriend was! I think it was pretty good since the seasoning kept the lemon pepper rich on the tongue while still ensuring there was a sense of spice. - Fries: 3/5 decent, could have been crispier! Service was fairly quick (got our food within 5 minutes) and the team inside cooking were speedy. We're excited to visit again and try other flavors in the future! read more
