    Combo

    Ordered the 9pc soy garlic wings and the galbi combo, and it was roughly around $45. That was little steep in my opinion. The flavor of the wings were great. Slightly sweet, and savory. But when I think of Korean fried chicken I think of crispy/crunchy wings. These were just soft. And not even because the sauce made them soggy, they were just not crisp at all. So that was a miss for me. The gable combo was just ok. Came with a decent amount of meat but the sides weren't my favorite. The kimchi had an off taste, and the japchae definitely wasn't fresh. Almost as if it was previously refrigerated and they tried to heat it up to make it palatable to serve but the noodles were still stuck together. The rice had a hard patch on it so you can tell it was just over exposed to heat just sitting in the rice cooker that it dried out. The bean sprouts were tasty though and the broccoli still had a good crunch. I'm glad it wasn't over cooked. The restaurant space is quaint. And we had came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was only one other table there prior to us. So we were able to sit anywhere and our food came out at a reasonable time. So service is good but unfortunately the food fell a little short to me.

    Boneless soy garlic fried chicken combo

    Came here on a Wednesday for lunch and it wasn't really busy. Came mainly for the lunch combos and kimbap. I got the boneless garlic soy chicken lunch combo with a tuna kimbap on the side. I love how it came with different banchans, kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli, japchae, gyoza, and rice. The chicken was nice and juicy and still crunchy. The kimbap came a few mins later as they made it and it was so good too! It came with some broth on the side. I saved half of the meal for later because it was so much. Would come back to try other things on the menu and the same things as well. My coworker got the tofu soup and she liked the banchans as well.

    Me and my girls love to try new Korean spots around the city and my oldest went here on her own one day and brought some back. I tried it and immediately knew I'd be trying them myself. They were out of something and I can't recall what it was but they were nice enough to give some sauces and radish on the side. They're a smaller spot with some pretty cool wall decor, it was nice and clean inside and staff is friendly and helpful. Each time I've gone I've tried a new flavor of chicken and can say they're all pretty tasty. My littlest ones really liked the fried seaweed roll which can be a little snack or just a side either way they're a nice crunchy extra.

    Yang nyum chicken 9/10, soy garlic chicken -9/10, Tteok-bokki - 10/10, soon du bu - 7/10, bulgogi -4/10. The fried chicken was good and I recommend trying. The highlight was the Tteok-bokki. It had just the right amount of fish cake and rice cakes. The bulgogi was VERY dry. I hope they fix it. The soon du bu was a little blander than expected. The restaurant itself was interesting. I walked in thinking it was a fast casual restaurant because the waitress took our orders at the cash register but then served us water and our dishes. I thunk

    Came here for lunch and it was pretty quick to get my food. I saw they have popular Korean street food here so gave it a try. Sodukk sodukk: B Two skewers of crispy rice cake and mini sausages, covered with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. I've seen this in Korea food videos, and while nothing mind blowing I did enjoy this a lot. Extra crispy boneless chicken: B- Super crispy exterior as promised, and chicken was very juicy and tender. By itself it was a bit bland to be honest. After I tried it with the hot sauce packet I would say it was enjoyable.

    As soon as I walked in, I wasn't greeted at all, then was finally acknowledged after I was looking at the menu. The cashier/server gave her recommendations on which chicken wings order & made sure I had everything I needed at my table. You order & pay at the front first, then sit anywhere. 6/10 - S2 Yang Nyum Chicken with sides: the chicken was 10/10, it was delicious! The sauce was a nice balance of sweet, sticky, & slightly spicy; other than that the sides dish (broccoli, bean sprout, & potstickers), kimchi, & japchae were not good; kimchi was bitter, japchae lacked flavor, & the potstickers were meh. 9/10 - Fried Seaweed Rolls: these were cute tasty nuggets of goodness; the shape of them made them fun to eat. 8/10 - Sodduk Sodduk: the sauce is very similar to the sauce of the Yang Nyum Chicken; rice cakes were crispy, but slightly hard; sausages were yummy.

    Galbi plate
    Charlene G.

    Wanted a quick, not too fancy, local spot for dinner. Found Ttobongee on Yelp and thought we'd support a local spot. Spot looked busy- good sign. BBQ smell was evident and inviting. Prices were on the high end for a "fast food Korean" spot. They were short staffed because some of the tables needed to be cleaned and there was only one person who served as the cashier/busser/etc. She said she was new - sweet girl, was working hard. Ordered 2 short rib plates and a spicy pork plate. Came out to about $60. Spicy Pork: Good flavor, not too sweet, would get again. Galbi (short rib): Have had better but was still good and satisfying. I enjoyed all the side dishes that accompanied the plates: daikon, jap chae (although noodles were noticeably over cooked), broccoli, and kim chee. I would say a smidget overpriced for the quantity but would still come back because of location to my home. Left satisfied!

    Food was okay and good until I got finished with everything and ate the japchae. There's a thick rubber black glove piece that looks like it's been soaking in something wet for ages. Serious health concern at this restaurant.

    YANG NYUM CHICKEN
    Dalena H.

    This place hit the spot for korean fried chicken. Wasn't too busy on a late Friday night. Food came out very quickly especially since we ordered fried chicken. I got the yang nyum meal which comes with 4 wings, 4 sides, 2 gyozas, and rice. The sweet and chili sauce was delicious. Was not spicy at all. Pretty good sized wings. Don't think it's double fried though. I sadly did not like the kimchi that came with my combo. It was sour and bitter.

    Whole chicken
    Linh N.

    Their individual chicken pieces are worth it. The whole chicken is very small more like a hen but it's still very moist and delicious. Their beef short ribs were flavorful. F Overall flavor is great but price point is high for the amount of food you're getting.

    S8. SEAFOOD TOFU SOUP
    Laura T.

    I got the seafood tofu soup to eat there and some chicken to take home. The tofu soup was great! They didn't have beef so I had the seafood and it had a lot of protein in it. A good variety of seafood too. The soup was very filling and the side dishes were nice too. I got Maip Dak half chicken to go and boy am I crying! It is so spicy! The burn lasts for a few minutes too. The chicken is nice and tender & was cooked really well. The interior is small but there is plenty of seating.

    Oh how the greats fall…read more About 10 years ago, when Fire Wings started popping up, it was legit one of the best wing spots around. Unfortunately, its time at the top was short lived. Year after year the quality and service declined, and eventually I stopped going. I rarely order delivery, but wings sounded good and Fire Wings is the closest to me, so I gave it another shot for old times sake. I have dined in at the midtown location before and it's fine, fast casual and usually busy late night. Today, I ordered the 10 wing combo with plain fries. Hot take, but I've never liked their seasoned fries. They always feel overcooked and oily to me. I got mango habanero and lemon pepper, added five extra fire wings, and an extra ranch. The total would've been $38, but I had a $10 off coupon, so it came out to $28 before tip. Still expensive, but that's delivery pricing these days, not really the restaurant's fault. What is their fault is the size of these wings. Look at the photos, they were like toothpicks. I used to love Fire Wings because they served good quality wings with a lot meat on them. These had to have had less than an ounce of meat each. And it wasn't just a few of them, like 80% of the order was undersized. I honestly feel like they might have set aside a bunch of small wings for delivery orders, because the last time I dined in they were not this ridiculously small. The fries were whatever, basically standard frozen fries. I do remember that they used to give a ton of seasoned fries back in the day, but it looks like they also skimp on fries as well these days. The ranch was just okay, nothing special. The mango habanero was solid, one of my favorite wing flavors. Lemon pepper was just okay. And the fire flavor, which is supposed to be spicier than regular buffalo, tasted exactly like regular buffalo. This will be the last time I give Fire Wings my business. I have to accept they just aren't what they used to be. At this point I'd honestly take Wingstop over them for bigger wings and better sides. It's a shame, because the one thing Fire Wings always had going for them was their range of flavors.

I was shocked that there still so many seats available. I thought due to there was a game prior that the place would be packed and we would be lucky to get a seat. They had 2 lines to get in, the VIP line and the regular line. The line was super slow even with 3 hostesses. They were seating everyone so that is what took so much time. When we got to the front of the line they asked up if we had reservations. I had no idea that this was a reservation type of place. Next they informed us that there was a $20 cover fee. I think that is per group not per person, but I'm not really sure. For $20 we were ready to turn around and go home or to another place that didn't charge. We were totally shocked that there was an entrance fee. We had no idea that they would do something like that. We've been here once before for a Sunday NFL game and there was no cover charge. Thankfully the guy in front of us asked if it was free to sit at the outside bar and they said yes. So, after we were informed of the $20 fee we took the lead from the guy in-front of us and headed for the outdoor bar. For free you'd think the place would be packed. Thankfully it was virtually empty. We had almost any seat to choose from. We grabbed the third table, which had the best view of one of the many TVs. We're so thankful that we arrived early. As time went on the place did fill up and soon it was standing room only and people were actually standing and watching the game. We gave up our third chair to a larger party that wanted to sit together, their group did block the walkway, but no one said anything, they just went around the other side of the bar or squeezed though which was difficult. We ate dinner before we arrived to save money. Though once you see the menu you have to order something as everything looked so good. I really wanted to get the cheesecake as it was the only dessert they had. If they had a hot fudge Sunday, I would have totally got that. Instead I let my husband pick as everything looked so good and it was hard to decide. He ordered something that I wasn't eyeing, but I trusted him in his decision. He ordered the CRISPY CHICKEN & CORNBREAD PANCAKE Sweet cornbread pancakes, pickle-brined and hand-battered premium crispy chicken tenders, honey butter, maple syrup. The sweet cornbread was amazing. I love the edges, it was so buttery. The centers were also good with the honey butter, but not as good as the edges. The crispy chicken was really crispy to perfection. And it came out so hot, I almost burned my mouth it was so hot. We really didn't use the maple syrup. We dipped the chicken it it once, so as we tried it didn't really enhance the dish. Next time I'm going to just eat dinner at Tom's Watch Bar as everything looked so good. Also I've read other reviews and people have really liked the food. I though they had some sliders, but I didn't see them on the menu. They did have a Prime Rib Dip, but that isn't a slider. Sitting outside in the bar was great for the price. It did get a little chilly and I wished I had worn jeans and brought a sweater. Next time I'll check the weather for the evening and dress appropriately. I did have a jacket in the car so my husband went back to the car for me at half time and he also grabbed our emergency blanket to wrap around our legs. That really helped. They had plenty of pretty clean bathrooms. It didn't smell really refreshed, but it wasn't bad either. They had I believe 4 stalls so if there were a line it would move fast. I went right after half time in hopes there wasn't a line and there wasn't. It is a little hidden, but they are good at pointing you to it. I thought it was on the way to the kitchen and it might have been if you went right as the bathrooms are on the left. Parking at the Downtown Commons (DOCO) typically costs $6.00 per hour, with every additional 20 minutes priced at $2.00, up to a $32.00 daily maximum. During peak events at the Golden 1 Center, flat event rates often apply, and nearby garages offer varying hourly or daily rates. It cost us $18 to park. It seems like you can park at the old Macy's parking lot for $15. That's so much a better deal, but it also seems sketchy. Is it legit or are people just collecting money due to it's an empty lot. I think the price of parking is really expensive. I think we should have walked as it was daylight going there and it would be daylight going home. In addition it wasn't too hot. So back to the $20 entrance fee. Knowing this I am hesitant to return. I do see the advantage of arriving early so you can get a seat outside so that isn't bad. Arriving 30 minutes early isn't too early so it's reasonable.
