    I love hot wings especially with crispy hot French fries and this place has them! There's a hot wing place back home that I miss a lot but Sandy's comes really close with their 6 wing combo (i get the hot sauce), French fries and soda combo for $13.50. I usually get it to go so that I can enjoy it at home, I would highly recommend calling ahead for take out since everything is made fresh and it takes about 15-20 minutes to get your food. My better half loves the cheesesteak and hot wings combo (doesn't come with fries) and my son gets the chicken strips with fries combo. There's different levels of hot sauce you can choose from, mild to buffalo volcano hotness. You also get a little baggie with celery, carrot slices and ranch sauce. The people working here are always so nice and my food is well packed with no leakage when I get home. I love this little mom and pop shop and it's convenient location on Sandy!

    I ordered through Yelp and when I arrived - the girl didn't know that a reg customer can order through Yelp and it shows as a grub hub order. She started to ring me up for a large order without verifying. I had noticed a bag in the end with a root beer can in it which was the drink choice I made. Once I let her know I though that was my bag - she verified my name and phone number. I liked ordering online as a new customer since it had my choices to customize my order with how I wanted the wings cooked and the sauce. I chose extra crispy. And the mild sauce. It comes with fries and a drink. I didn't ask for ketchup but didn't think to ask since my bag was already tied up and ready. You get a lot of fries. Mild still had a nice kick. Yummy. It was a lot of food for a good price. The wings were great! I'd eat here again for sure!

    Winner, winner, chicken wing dinner! I was looking for a quick bite and happened to be passing by on Sandy - this corner cafe is next to plaid pantry. I ordered the 10pc wing platter which came with ranch and celery/carrot sticks. The meal was ready in 10 minutes and packaged nicely. The wings are HUGE! They were perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. There was quite a bit of flavor, which made a couple pieces salty, but with the ranch dip it balanced out. Averages $1 per wing. They also have sandwiches (hot or cold) and teriyaki. Stop by and check it out!

    Caveat: I have extremely high standards for both Teriyaki and Hot Wings, so just keep that in mind... It's pretty rare that I write negative food reviews, probably because I'm basically a garbage disposal and I'll love anything dumped down my drain. So I was fairly surprised that I was moderately unimpressed with this place. SaHoWiCa has been on my radar for a couple of months and I've been wanting to try their wings. Both my wife and I were in the mood for wings tonight, so I decided to get an order to go. THE TERI WINGS TASTED LIKE THEY USED KRAFT TERIYAKI SAUCE She decided to go with the Teriyaki Wings and I got Lemon Pepper (LPT: If you want Lemon Pepper Wet, just order a couple of sides of Buffalo Sauce.) She liked the Teri Wings, and I guess since they were for her, that's all that matters. I thought they tasted like Kraft Teriyaki sauce out of a bottle or something. Also, they forgot the Bleu Cheese for the veggie sticks. A pretty big minus. I HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH STANDARDS WHEN IT COMES TO TERI For comparison on the Teriyaki Sauce, of all the myriad Teriyaki joints in the metro area, Mama's Teriyaki in Tualatin is probably my favorite (along with Aloha Grill, also in Tualatin,) though I haven't been to Mama's in years, so IDK if the quality has been sustained. Hawaiian Time in Oregon City, Roxy's Island Grill and Soy Grill (Clackamas) all have top spots, while Ichi Teriyaki (we go to the one on SE 162nd and Division) and Joy Teriyaki are probably on the bottom rung of what I consider good/very-good. THE LEMON PEPPER WINGS WERE THE $#!+ As for the Lemon Pepper wings... You know the scene from the episode of "Atlanta" where they're in J.R. Crickets, that's obviously an homage to "Pulp Fiction"? Yeah. Granted, these joints had the sauce on the side, but I'm not complaining. It is what it is, as they say. They charged $.50 ea. for the two sides, but that's fair since I was ordering something extra. Still, I'd like to have an actual Lemon Pepper Wet option. THE LEMON PEPPER WINGS WET WERE REALLY THE $#!+ I ate the Lemon Pepper wings both dry and wet, and they were great both ways. They obviously toss the cooked wings with a Lemon Pepper dry seasoning, but it actually tasted like they also marinated the wings in a lemon/citrus marinade beforehand (the meat actually tasted citrusy) which is a HUGE plus; fantastic flavor. So, while the Teri sauce tasted like it came from a bottle from Cash & Carry, the Buffalo Sauce tasted homemade. It's a good twelve parsecs ahead of Frank's Red Hot, which I consider very good. It had just the right balance of heat and flavor. THE HOT (BUFFALO) SAUCE WAS THE $#!+ When it comes to Hot Wings, I kind of have a multiple personality disorder thing going on: On one hand, when I finish 10 or 12 wings, I want to have a raging case of Ghost Rider head. On the other hand, I want to be able to taste the subtleties and nuances of the flavors, especially in the case of Lemon Pepper Wet where you have two flavors. This was definitely a case of the latter, and I'm happy for that. It was perfectly balanced between spicy and savory. NOT TO BURY THE LEAD, BUT... The actual wings themselves were fried to perfection. THIS is how you do wings. IDK if they toss them in corn starch first before frying, but they were super crunchy/crispy on the outside and super moist [MOIST] and juicy on the inside. Honestly, they could have been plain (no flavoring) and they would have been very good. TL;DR Unless you have very low standards when it comes to Teri, I wouldn't get the Teriyaki wings. If you're looking for Chernobyl-like heat, I'm guessing "Volcano" is hotter than "Hot," so you might want to go with that. Otherwise, Hot by itself is very good, and Lemon Pepper Wet is great, as is Lemon Pepper Dry. IDK if I'll order wings, but they also have sub sandwiches that look pretty good, so no doubt I'll be stopping in again sometime relatively soon. I'm giving Sandy Hot Wings Cafe 3 stars, but it's more like 3.5 or 3.75. They definitely do it right when it comes to the actual frying of the wings. At the very least you could get them plain and then use whatever sauce you wanted...

    Quick accurate service . Freshly made: food is very good . Good price for a meal lots of. Drink options especially have more than one diet option. Kind staff

    The food was mediocre. Breaded wings and sauces just poured on them. I wasn't impressed.

    Fried rice, yummy. Big portion and tasty
    Holly J.

    Good prices, exceptional services, great variety. We will be back here again. This is a good combo of American and Japanese. The portions are larger so be prepared to need a to go box unless you have a major appetite.

    If you ask for wings extra crispy they're cooked to a level of dryness that is kind of difficult to enjoy.

The crab fried rice is a fan favorite for good reason--it's flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious.

What really makes Nom Nom stand out, though, is the people behind it.

But even worse, they were so dry that it felt like it was heated at 400° for 30 minutes. And for $16 that's horrific, I would say that this is like the wings you would find at a dive bar at 11 PM with no choices, and they would probably only charge you about $8 to $10. The Momo was just simply not good. We got the chili chicken and they were extremely small, over fried, and the sauce taste just like a store-bought, sweet thai chili sauce Lastly, we got the nacho for nacho week and oh my God was that a disappointment as well. It came out extremely cold, and it might be intended to serve not hot, but this was like straight out of the fridge cold. If you look at the pictures they have on the nacho week website, it looked nothing like it. It was a disgrace as it was probably 90% nacho in 10% everything else. If you split up the toppings, it would only need about four or five chips before you've exhausted all the toppings that came with it. Then you're left with 90% of just tortilla chips. I don't know how this place got so many good reviews but either this is a really bad day, but we got three separate dishes that were all bad, but I'm inclined to think that it's just simply bad.

Walked in and was pretty surprised there was no one around. (Head-scratch) OK, I'll try them anyways. No one at the counter either. I checked out the menu board and just waited, np. Out comes, possibly the owner or cook, whom was helpful about the types of wings and sauces but that was about it with the interaction. I guess helpful enough, even thought I've never been here. So I went with the 12-piece Bone-in Wing Combo (@ $29.49), which also comes with fries and coleslaw. The sauces I chose were the galbi and hot honey mustard as recommended. At first, I wasn't sure which wings were which, meaning they both almost looked the same. But obviously the hot honey mustard was lighter in color versus the galbi. The wings were crispy and excellent, but a tad bit over saucy. I wish I had more crisp on the outside. Maybe I'll ask for sauce on the side next time. Also, the big box of Crinkle Fries were decent, but I thought the coleslaw for some reason was very peppery. I didn't understand why. I guess that's their style of slaw, idk. Overall, I really wanted to love this joint, but I feel that it's just a 3-star kind of place imho. It's the price versus taste versus how hot it was outside. Unfortunately, the place didn't have any a/c on and the tables didn't look as clean as the other older posted pics on yelp. Someday, I'll be back to hopefully upgrade my review, but for now, it is what it is.
