Little overpriced, but good quality of food. I got just the 4 wings and it was filling. The garlic noodles are too greasy for me, but their fries are solid. Also not much seating inside especially when there is a rush. Definitely want to try their shrimp next time.
The food was pretty good. I came here because I heard the sandwich exceeds Howlin' Rays, since I've had both, I would say that it is just a different version - think granny smith to Washington: it's just a different animal in taste and texture. I thought the chicken was done well, but it did. Fall apart as you grab it and bite, Howlin' would be a thicker cut that is juicy and does not fall apart. This version has some Vietnamese veggies in the sandwich which is not what you can find at Howlin'. In terms of pure chicken, it was slightly overdone at the edges but still was very juicy. The sauce helped a lot more than it should for a standalone chicken sandwich. The garlic noodles are not amazing, it just felt like boiled noodles and with residual heat it got the garlic and cheese to meld into it, nothing note worthy. The chicken pieces, we got the garlic wings. The sauce or flavor did not stick well to the wings, it was just a nicely fried wing - the sauce just fell to the bottom, texture wise not amazing. The sandwich is probably the thing to go for here, nothing else was note worthy for me. Get the house sauce as well, you will need it for that extra oomph. If you decide to eat here during summer, there is barely any air conditioning, I was sweating a lot.
I was obsessed with Mama Hieu's back when they were serving out of their house during Covid, so very excited to see them grow into a storefront. Since then, they've also got some new flavors too. I made a pick up order online ahead, but still had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes when I arrived. For the four of us, we ordered Mama's Family Pack ($45), which includes 20 wings, garlic noodles, fries, and sauces. Since it only includes two flavors as we opted for Salted Eggyolk and Fish Glazed, we also added an additional 4pcs wings in Garlic Butter and Andy's Special, so I could try everything. Of all the flavors, I enjoyed Andy's Special and Fish Glazed the most as the sauciness was more flavor. The egg yolk was so subtle that I didn't find the flavor being a standout. The wings are crispy and I do appreciate the Asian flavors though. As for the fries, they're as is. The garlic noodles were decent, but a tad on the softer texture for my liking. With all this fried food, we paired a large order of Pickled Veggies ($8), which was much needed to cut through. This was so refreshing to have with the chicken and alone. Overall, great Vietnamese chicken wing spot with some unique flavors. It's not something I'd probably come back for too often, but definitely worth checking out. The party platter are great for groups though.
Ordered the advertised popcorn chicken (extra spicy). Output time - 15 minutes Atmosphere - Definitely a lot of foot traffic, might have to eat in the car as very limited seating to about (11). They do have water station nearby register. Price 10$ Portion 5/5 Huge bouquet of popcorn nuggets. They pile the chicken on a tray and continue to add more on top similar to "five guys" method. Value 5/5- Definitely worth the price. Taste 4.5/5 75% tender juicy pieces The other 25% were the crunchy ones. Spice level - extra spicy is tolerable with a good heat. The only missing topping were Thai basil leaves.
Came back again because the owner reached out and wanted me to try the same wings again. So of course I got the spicy garlic flavor again, and omg it tasted just like the first time! Perfectly crunchy and so tender on the inside, with a really good kick of spicy, the aroma from the green onion on top, as well as some fresh garlic. Thank you Jimmy for reaching out! I will be back again for more when I'm in the area :) definitely try them out!
Came here on a Wednesday afternoon at 3:30pm on the way to the Hilary Duff concert. It was pretty quiet inside with music playing on the overhead speakers. There was only a group of two eating inside and there were plenty of tables to choose from. We were greeted at the register right away and they were pretty friendly. Customer service was about standard. My wife and I ordered the house box with original flavor, spicy popcorn chicken with ranch, and a side of garlic noodles (since I've heard so much about it on IG reels). The food came out about 10mins after ordering at it was exactly as they say it is. So crispy and juicy. The water matching they have is top tier and came out super cold and crispy. There was enough food to fill us up and take home too. I'd easily come back.
I am so glad my bf told us to stop by here when we were in LA; because this was the best thing we ate out here during our little weekend trip! Mama Hieu's started out during COVID and was a small business that was selling plates from the house and due to all of their success, opened up two brick and mortar locations! The spicy garlic butter chicken was soooo good and crispy! It was actually pretty spicy too. I love how they included the pickled veggies! The box came with 7 wings and two scoops of rice and your choice of sauce. We got the Mama Sauce, which was a mayo like sauce. We didn't know what the Andy's Special flavor tasted like, but the workers explained that the flavor is similar to Vietnamese style crab (cua rang). So like oyster sauce, garlic, fish sauce like flavor; sticky. It was hella good!!! No need to dip in the side sauce either. Their fried chicken comes in many unique flavors like salted egg yolk and fish sauce. We weren't really feeling the garlic noodles; come here for the fried chicken box with rice instead! Definitely coming back next time we're in LA!
So worth the walk from Banh Khot Lady to here! I made it a mission to visit this spot when I was visiting OC. I've seen so many IG reels about this spot and let me just say it did not disappoint! Love at first bite. The wings were hot and spicy! I ordered 4 pcs spicy garlic butter + 4 pcs fish sauce wings. Everything smelled so good! The chicken wings were fried to perfection. I liked the spicy garlic butter a tad bit more cause I like dry rub. Although the fish sauce was yummy as well. Not too fishy but had good flavor. The staff here were very friendly. I would come back!
Overhyped. I've tried this place two times. I decided to give it another try because they added Popcorn Chicken to the menu. The chicken wings are nothing special. They are crispy, but the seasoning is ok. The brussel sprouts were too sweet. The popcorn chicken was too bland and lacked seasoning. I really wanted to like this place, but I don't plan on coming back.
Yummy yummy yummy fried chicken! Maybe it's because I'm partial to Asian-inspired flavors, but the fish sauce glaze fried chicken is the best! It's the only flavor I order, actually. I always get the house box which comes with 7 chicken wings, rice, pickled veggies and sauce! Staff is friendly, and they take orders quickly, but during lunch rush hours or promotions, the store can get packed! For the amount of customers though, I'd say they're pretty quick at pumping out completed orders. Parking, however, can be a nightmare at this location. My friend and I usually just park at the Asian Garden Mall and walk over! Overall, I do recommend coming here to try out their wings! They're delicious!
Walked through the door and before I could even pretend to study the menu like a seasoned food critic, someone was already ready to take my order. That's the kind of efficiency I can get behind. The restaurant was clean, organized, and inviting, and the staff were friendly throughout my visit. Service was quick, and my food arrived without me having enough time to question all of my life choices. Now, let's talk about the main event: the wings. When my order arrived, I was optimistic. The wings looked like they had just finished a professional photo shoot. Crispy golden exterior? Check. Garlic and green onions sprinkled on top? Check. Fluffy garlic rice? Check. Sweet chili sauce standing by like a loyal sidekick? Check. Unfortunately, the flavor and I never quite shook hands. The wings and I spent time together, we just didn't find any chemistry! The wings didn't have that satisfying crunch and seemed to be observing a strict low-flavor lifestyle. They looked bold and adventurous but tasted surprisingly reserved. Then there was the garlic rice. Now, when I hear "garlic rice," I imagine garlic lovingly mixed throughout every grain, creating a harmonious relationship between rice and garlic. What I received was more of a rice-and-garlic long-distance relationship. The garlic was strategically gathered on top, so the flavor was pretty minimal. The pickled vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the sweet chili sauce ended up becoming the MVP of the meal! I came for garlic rice and flavor-packed wings. I left with good service, a clean restaurant, and a newfound appreciation for the sweet chili sauce!
I was making it a habit in coming here when they started their weekly wednesday promos where $4 for 4 wings and then the following 2 weeks it was $8 for 8 wings. When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.
Chicken was crispy, juicy and packed with flavor - def up there with some of the best Vietnamese style fried chicken wings. We got the Garlic Butter Wings and the Fish Sauce Wings (similar to Bonchon/IYKYK) with a side of sweet potato fries which also was delicious. Service was great, food came out in a timely manner. Can't ask for more. Seating and Environment was highly appreciated as there was plenty to select from. Will def return if we are back in the area.

This place was amazing !!! Listen to me y'all. You could smell this food from across the street on the corner. Now the parking is.. limited at best. When you see a parking spot open, you gotta jump in it fast like double Dutch with the jump rope. There is not a lot of seating so I would recommend to take your food to go. The ladies at the front were extremely nice in taking care of me! I needed 100 garlic chicken wings for my daughter's sixth birthday party and boy did they come in clutch. I also ordered a plate of the garlic noodles, and that almost went as fast as the chicken. I WILL be stopping by here at least once a month. If you're in the mood for some Vietnamese chicken wings, please come through and check this spot out!!! read more
We were in town and wanted to try Mama Hieu's. We came here for lunch on a Friday and it was booming! We ordered the garlic wings and fish sauce glazed. My favorite was the fish sauce. It was sweet and saucy, not spicy but definitely packed with flavor. I was happy to hear about Mama Hieu's orgin story and to finally taste the legendary wings! read more

I've been dying to try this place after seeing so many good reviews. We tried the spicy garlic butter wings and the fish sauce wings. The fish sauce wings lived up to the hype! We got medium and it had a good kick. A squeeze of the lime wedge and this was perfect! They don't get 5 stars for me because of the garlic butter wings. It's a dry rub, which doesn't make sense for "butter". And these were nothing special. Also the garlic noodles were ok- not worth $9 for the taste or that small amount. read more

I saw an ad on Instagram for the Andy's Special wings - inspired by Vietnamese wedding-style lobster dinners, a collaboration between the owner Jimmy and this big time restaurant guy, Andy Nguyen. So I went in with high expectations. But the wing flavor didn't quite capture that rich "house special lobster" taste I was hoping for. The seasoning just wasn't as bold as I expected, and a more generous amount of green onions and garlic would've really elevated it. But I thought maybe they just had an off day. And since this is a new item perhaps they're still trying to tweak the recipe. I decided to give them another try a couple weeks later. And to my surprise, the wings were perfect this time around! They were crispier, bolder, saucier, perfectly seasoned, and packed with the right amount of heat. I especially loved the added delicious sauce, green onions and garlic that were missing the first time. I met Jimmy and he said they have been listening to customers' feedback and working really hard to perfect these wings; and I can definitely tell. It's really nice to see a restaurant care about their food and customers' opinions. We also tried their Spicy Garlic Wings and Vietnamese Hot Chicken Sandwich - they were both delicious. Crispy, spicy, bursting with flavors. We left feeling full and satisfied, and with a whole new impression. I am definitely coming back. That garlic butter shrimp looked really good! read more

The chicken wings were really good. Pretty good price since the wings were fairly good size . I ended up buying $65 worth of chicken ribs in multiple flavors. My favorite flavor was the Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings. -yum read more
Quick food stop before getting back on the road. The fried chicken here had such a great crispness. Very moist and I love the accompanying sides of rice and picked veggies that come in the box. I wish the garlic flavor was a litter stronger as some bites lacked it. Got garlic noodles to-go and WOW! amazing buttery, garlic flavor, tasted really good reheated as well:) read more

This hype wing spot is in the heart of Little Saigon and it absolutely delivers. Mama Hieu is not playing around! These wings are PACKED with flavor to the point where you're eating down to the bone. No meat left behind. I ordered a box of the garlic butter wings, and it came stacked with two scoops of rice, sweet chili sauce, and pickled veggies. Let me just say that everything on that plate had a purpose. The wings were insanely juicy and tender, and had that garlicky goodness. You can tell they're using fresh minced garlic and tossing it with green onions because every bite had that bold, aromatic punch. And the skin???? It was Perfectly light and crispy. No sogginess here. I was literally scooping up every last bit of garlic and green onion and piling it onto my chicken and rice. It was that good. The sweet chili sauce had a thick, sticky texture with just the right balance of sweet and heat, and the pickled veggies added a refreshing crunch. The vibe is hip, the staff is friendly, and the whole experience feels like Vietnamese style hot wings done RIGHT. It 100% lives up to the hype. Only heads up, parking can be tough since it's right in the heart of Little Saigon, but trust me it's worth it. This place is bomb. Period. read more
Oh Mama this chicken goooood! lol.. My co-worker and I went here for lunch cause it has great reviews in yelp. I mean no wonder why because this place is poppin. When we went here, the ambiance is just buzzling with customers. However, they have quick and efficient service. The cashier suggested us their chicken and oh boy whoever is Mama Hieu.. I'm pretty sure she's proud of her fried chicken. I ordered their original garlic butter fried chicken meal, which of course their awesome fried chicken, onion white rice, and pickled vegetables on its side. I added fried sunny side up egg on top because its an extra gravy flavoring. They served it with their sweet and sour sauce. Their chicken is just absolutely flavorful. That garlic zest flavor is addicting. It will definitely kill a vampire and your girlfriend when you kiss them, but full belly guaranteed lol. Overall, I have a new local spot in Westminster.. definitely a recommendation :) read more

I'm typically not a wings person, but I really enjoyed Mama Hieu's! They offer four different types: Original Garlic, Spicy Garlic, Fish Sauced Glazed (you can choose the spice level), and Salted Egg Yolk. I tried the Original, Fish Sauce, and Salted Egg Yolk and enjoyed all of them! I think my favorite of the three was the Original Garlic. You can order the wings a la carte in various sizes, or you can order it as a House Box that comes with 2 scoops of rice and pickled veggies. We didn't want rice, so we got a side of Garlic Noodles instead. Pretty good! They also have loaded tots! We got Mama Style and Garlic Parm. Mama Style looks like it has cheese, garlic, green onions, and some kind of mayo/sauce? The Garlic Parm tots are nice and garlicky! Since I didn't know if I was going to enjoy the wings, I got the Garlic Shrimp Plate, and I LOVED it! The sauce on the breaded shrimp was soo yummy! It came with 2 scoops of rice with the fried onion topping. They gave a decent amount of sauce, so it was so good mixing it with the rice as well. I'll definitely be back! read more

Yeah, these are the best wings in OC. A gem of a place - their fish sauce wings are crispy and have such a great savory flavor. The Vietnamese hot chicken sandwich is also well balanced with fresh herbs & pickled veggies. The staff here are quick and knowledgeable which helps the queue move quickly. Seating inside is pretty limited, but the food is worth squeezing in for or grabbing to go. read more

Mama hieus opened some time ago and I noticed the restaurant but I was never able to go because I'm pescetarian. Then recently I looked at their yelp page and saw they were now serving shrimp so that was my sign to give them a try. I called them and did a phone order. I was given a few shrimp options and decided to go with the garlic butter shrimp mild with rice. 15 minutes later I showed up and food was ready. The meal itself was about $17.50 with tax. They currently have soda and water, but I think their meals would really pair well with some traditional vietnamese lemonade, passionfruit tea, or even strawberry tea. Anywho, I drove home and couldn't wait to try it. The portions were decent. I easily devoured the two scoops of rice and the pickled veggies. The shrimp were actually big and the garlic butter was good. The mama sauce was good too, but I didnt eat all of that. The portion of pickled veggies was small, but I think you can order extra. I wonder if they make their shrimp in house? 5 pieces of shrimp was more than enough since they were big, so I shared some with my fur babies and they loved it. Yes, I can see myself coming back! read more

Used to love Mama Hieu's and while it's still a good spot for Vietnamese style fried chicken, I haven't found myself craving or stopping by as much since they've opened up their storefront. I've been here maybe 4 times now since they've opened up at this location. Each time hasn't been as consistently good as I look for. I find the quality of chicken used a bit lower. Seems to have some more fattier bits connected and has a bit of funkyness. Sometimes it feels like too heavily breaded for me. I recently came by to try the new Andy's special which is inspired by the house special lobster flavor. You definitely get that essence when you taste everything together. I think pairing this with a side of noodles tossed in that sauce would bring it all together and remind me more of the dish they're going for. Their rice is a bit too moist for my preference. Would order this flavor again though! I also tried the shrimp garlic noodles for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. They had a good amount of flavor and were even better with the chili oil. There did end up being a pool of butter at the bottom which is unappetizing. I've also enjoyed their take on a hot chicken sandwich which is the first of its kind that I've seen. It's nice to see them branching out and trying to add new things to the menu. Service whenever picking my food has always and continues to be great. Would still recommend coming here for Viet inspired chicken. read more

The best thing about this place is the customer service! The woman at the counter is so nice! As for the food, it's good, but I've definitely had better. We tried all the flavors, garlic being the best. The noodles were the star. There's only a few seats inside so plan to order take out. read more

The restaurant is on the smaller side with a few tables. The decor is modern and the staff are friendly. They were careful to explain their menu and offer me a variety of sauces to try.

The chicken wings here are so popular with my coworkers every time I would order the party trays for our potlucks. Party trays of 48 wings and 100 wings would clear out so fast. I am so impressed by how they would fulfill party trays the day of or the day before the orders were placed. The orders were always ready by or before the time due for pick up. Service is great. The chicken wings surprisingly stayed crispy and hot for a while and never soggy, which I do appreciate so much. I recommend the spicy garlic butter wings. You do not need any sauces, but they do have great sauces if you want to buy some. The spice is not that spicy. It is a comfortable level of spice that many can enjoy. The only complaint I have is the parking situation. The restaurant is located in a small plaza with few parking spots. Most of the time, they are filled up, but I usually do not have to wait long for parking to become available. read more

Oh what a fantastic meal I had from Mama Hieu's!!! The order was placed online and wasn't quite ready when I arrived. Parking is tight and nightmarish. These other patrons perusing the shopping center is absolutely feral and poorly mannered. The drive and the extra wait was absolutely worth it though. Every bite I had was a complete flavor explosion after another. Oh my goodness. I haven't had such good sandwiches or fried shrimp box type of meal in forever. It had a nice crunch in every single bite for both shrimp and sandwiches. Neither were spicy but it had a nice garlic flavor to it. The sweet potato fries were delicious. The coleslaw really helped enhance the chicken sandwich flavor. The spicy shrimp were amazing. The accompanying rice and mama's sauce made everything taste even better. I don't even know how to describe the deliciousness. Extra bonus points -- the service was really courteous and friendly. I appreciated them being so kind about including extra utensils and sauces. I am ready for seconds and can't wait to revisit again. read more

LOVE their chicken wings box. Meat is juicy and very flavorful, and pairs well with rice (with garlic flakes), preserved cabbage and the sauce! First time trying out the garlic noodles. Simple but delicious! Wait time is about 12-15 mins after the order is placed. Parking is a pain to find in this small commercial lot, that's probably the only downside. read more

Simple and delicious. Perfect for a quick lunch. This is a cherished addition to the takeout rotation. read more
Omg sooooo good! I got medium spice and it was definitely a kick with thai chili peppers. The balance of the fish sauce and sweet was perfect with the rice and mama sauce. I would totally recommend and come back! The staff was so nice and the food came out fast. I came around 12:30 which was perfect because it got super busy and swamped around 1pm for a saturday. Parking is rough though so prepare for that. read more

This is one of the best chicken wings that I've ever tried. Decided to drop by here before our dinner. Ordered only few pieces of Fish glazed wings and now I wish I've ordered more. 4pcs - $7.5 8pcs - $15 Do expect a little bit of wait because they do fried it fresh. The restaurant is kinda small with only few tables. I'm hoping to come back soon and try other wings flavors read more

I saw Mama Hieu's on Social media and LOVE wings so knew I wanted to try this when going to So-Cal. They are located in the Orange County / Santa Ana area where the Vietnamese District is. Parking is in a strip mall and not too bad. Inside the restaurant, there are a few tables and seating against the wall with stools. I was here last year when I was in So-Cal and went again when I was in So-Cal again this summer. We ordered to go for our big group since we were having a BBQ (VACATION!!!). We opted for the original and fish sauce glazed since not a lot of us eat spicy food. The wings are good, seasoned well, and are a decent size. It reminds me of an Asian version of Fire wings. For the price, it is worth it. Our group ate all these wings and went back to get another 24 pack-that's how good it was. The wait was not that long (less than 15 minutes each time when ordering the 24 pack) and customer service was great. Our cashier answered all our questions. There is a Pitcher and cups for complimentary water. I'll go here again when I go back to So-Cal. read more

I have always been a fan of Mama Hieu's! Mama Hieu's is known for their chicken wings. Lately, I have been cravings for chicken wings so I suggested coming here for our food run in OC. We arrived around 5 PM on a Friday's night and we came before the rush started. By the time we finish eating the place was packed. We ordered the house box with original garlic butter and an order of garlic noodles with shrimp. The box came with two scoop of beautifully cooked rice, seven perfectly fried wings, pickled vegetable, and a choice of sauce. This was such a good box. I would order this time and time again. The garlic noodles and shrimp was okay. I enjoyed the noodles. They also sell tater tots, regular and garlic parmesan. Overall, a great place to pick up lunch, dinner, or even for a party. read more

Called in an order today and I arrived early so I had to wait maybe 4 Minutes. My Fault, I was early. Problem was when I thought it was me but the Family noticed the Wings were noticibly smaller. I'm not sure if they switched Suppliers but I was hooked from the start on the size of the wings, for what I was purchasing, as well as the taste. I'm not willing to pay more for less. Get your together, or Saturday was the last time I order. I pass a Wing Stop and a BFW to get to you on Bolsa, as well as other Restaurants from Huntington Beach. Your success is fading with smaller Wings. I know times are hard but don't shift from who you are. I would rather pay $1 or two more than eat Pigeon wings. Come on Man! read more

Andy's special sauce and fish sauce chicken wings are absolutely delicious. Rice is very mushy though so I do not recommend getting the set meal. read more
Came to Mama Hieu's and ordered the 48-piece wing tray, half fish sauce and half spicy garlic butter, for around $70. Honestly such a solid deal for how much food you get. The chicken was SO good. I love that they mix the little drumettes and wing pieces so you get a good balance in every bite. The chicken was super tender and juicy, and the flavors were insanely addicting. The fish sauce flavor had that perfect savory, slightly sweet umami punch. The spicy garlic butter had great flavor and depth but wasn't overwhelmingly spicy at all, even though it says spicy. It had more of a flavorful kick than actual heat, which I liked. This definitely disappeared fast!!! read more

Happened to be in the area and finally was actually close enough to try Mama Hieu's! Did an online order and decided to go full out and get the family meal (two flavors, fries, and garlic noodles). Pickup was quick and easy. Star of the show - fish sauce wings and garlic wings - were perfection. Loved the salty taste of fish sauce and honestly the classic garlicky flavor. Fries were really crisp and not salty at all, garlic noodles were pretty basic, but a good addition to the meal package. Absolutely would come again. read more

only ever tried this place when someone brought a tray to a party and it was great every time, so we took a few people and went today and it was amazing. this place is next up in the fried chicken game, they just need a bigger place. Food (5/5) - Went a little overboard and basically ordered every flavor wing. Personal favorite is a tie between the fish sauce and the egg yolk, both are just such a unique flavor not found anywhere else and they're just so perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Rice/Pickled veggie/Sauces are just okay, decent additions really not needed or impactful for the wings themselves. Would absolutely bring a tray of 100 to a party again, worth the price here. Service (5/5) - Despite being an order at the counter restaurant- the cashier explained the menu VERY well and a wing wednesday deal to us, AND they accidentally gave us an extra order of shrimp and let us keep it rather than take it away. Very kind people working here in general. Ambiance (3/5) - the only flaw! this restaurant is tiny, minuscule even. sure there's physically maybe 20 chairs to sit at but it is cramped, extremely limited on table spaces, and the line to order renders the dining space even more crowded, and not the cleanest as a result of lots of traffic. Not their fault, they are making the best use of their space being a small business and i truly hope you read this, give them business, and they can upgrade to a bigger space as the food is great and they deserve it. Go check it out! (maybe just not with a group or get it to go) read more

Had a friend place a pick up order for Mama Hieu. Always down to get an order, since I love their chicken wings. I ordered the same dish I got last time, which was the House Box Speciality. This has everything that I need in a meal such as chicken wings (7pc), picked veggies, and rice! I also added a fried egg to the order. For the sauce, I got the fish glazed at medium spice level. The sauce was decently spicy. Chicken wings were still crispy, despite a brief wait to eat. And it was definitely a lot of food. Overall, flavor was still consistent. I'll continue to come back and recommend to others! read more

Saw the hype on this place through social media so we had to visit during our trip to OC. Got 4 fish sauce medium spice wings ($7.50) to try during lunch and it was so flavorful and crispy. The same night we decided we had to try the original flavor so we ordered that and fish sauce wings again. If you order through the app you get free garlic noodles. Because we took that one to go, it wasn't as crispy by the time we got back to hotel. Still good though. The garlic noodles were also impressive. So happy to have found this place. It's a little pricey but the taste is on point. read more

Ordered their party tray with the original garlic wings and fish sauce glaze (extra $2) for my New Years pregame. While it's pricey for sure-- $38 for 24 wings-- they were absolutely bomb. Topped with green onions and garlic chunks, the crispy wings were so flavorful and strong in the best way. I had to brush my teeth twice before going out lol. I liked how it didn't taste oily despite being well fried. read more

Came here on a Monday around 1:30pm with my family. Staff was nice! There was a single person waiting for their order sitting at a table for 4 and the cashier helped us swap tables with them (we were originally going to sit at the bar-style seating on the wall). The food came out pretty fast and it was hot. We asked for the chicken sandwich to be cut in half and they individually wrapped each half. This was super nice since most places typically just wrap the entire burger then cut it in half. The side on the left in my picture also had an entire chunk of chicken added to it in addition The portioning was definitely worth it. The flavor itself was pretty yummy. Usually hot chicken sandwiches have a Nashville hot chicken flavor, but this had its own unique flavor. The spicy garlic butter shrimp was good. It wasn't really spicy, but they added a lottt of garlic which was great! The lime went really well too. The shrimp was crunchy and were huge. The nuoc mam wings were good. We got the spicy one, which had the chilli spice flavor. The meat was really tender and the crunch was perfect. The garnish went along well as well. Will definitely return! read more

Is your fried chicken gluten free?
How far in advance do we need to order a party tray? Thank you
Best if you can order a couple days ahead of time, however I think 1 day in advance is ok. I'm answering from previous orders I've made. However, during Super Bowl they were taking orders a month ahead.
What the current methods of payments accepted @ the new 9090 Bolsa location?
Do your chicken wings have eggs in them?
Yes our product does contain eggs in them.
Can we eat in? Take out only?
Only take out, it's a phone order then set a time for pick up. It's homemade food made in her kitchen and there's no place to eat in.
I'm allergic to seed oils. What kind of oil do you use? Also is the chicken breaded at all?
We use canola frying oil. Our chicken in lightly breaded. It’s also gluten free
Do they have delivery service?
Yes but a private one place an order on insta (dm them) and then schedule a delivery time :) or I think you could just call the number then place the order from there :)…
