    6 Piece Hot Wings Combo
    Mai L.

    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...

    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.

    This is a stunning burger…read more I have come here an embarrassing amount of times since moving back to Portland. The first time I came alone, just a little hungry and a lot broke. So I got the $6 little pleasure burger. A simple, single patty smash burger. It's everything a McDonald's burger wishes it could be - beefy and drippy, a squishy, slightly sweet bun, oozing hot grease without being heavy, lacy and crisp edges, and held together with the right amount of American cheese. It was the perfect amount for that day. Then I returned with my date. Twice. And he brought his coworkers for lunch because he liked it so much. I have had the western and the mushroom burger since, as well as the parm and chive waffle fries. They have nuggets and I'm inclined to believe they're great. The staff is great, it's a small team and they're all there every single day. They care about their product and your experience. The space is a simple counter, not good for large groups. It should be noted that even though their burgers would be great with a beer, they don't seem to have a liquor license! So don't expect an IPA with that shroom burger. Maybe someday!

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.
