    Chicken - Buffalo Fries
    Raquel J.

    Yall im so sad, this use to be the spot in high school! Im afraid the quality isn't the same as it use to be. Granted these have been sitting for about an hour before eating but it's just not good. The chicken use to be like cut up chicken tenders, and these nuggets aren't cutting it. I also got breadsticks and they were hard as a rock, so disappointing cause they were my fav!

    Ordered a Buffalo Fries tray for a party! Ordered over the phone, service was great. My order was ready when I arrived. The party loved it!

    We love coming here for some wing fries. They are bombastic, service is super quick and they're always friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has both outside and indoor seating and it's never busy, good spot to grab a quick bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also recommend the jalapeño poppers.

    Wings Empire is a family owned gem in San Diego that delivers more than just incredible food it offers a dining experience rooted in passion and love. Their wings are simply out of this world crispy on the outside, perfectly tender on the inside, and coated with sauces that strike the perfect balance between savory and spicy. Whether you're diving into their classic buffalo or any of their other options, each bite is packed with rich, mouthwatering flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Their buffalo fries are without a doubt the best in San Diego. Crispy fries layered with tangy buffalo sauce, cheese, and the perfect hint of seasoning it's the kind of dish that hits all the right notes and leaves a lasting impression. What makes Wings Empire truly special is the family behind it. I had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Israel, who is not only skilled but one of the most genuine cooks I've ever met. His dedication and love for his craft are evident in every dish that leaves the kitchen. Speaking with him, you quickly realize that this is more than just a job for him it's his passion. He puts his heart into every plate, ensuring each customer leaves satisfied and eager to return. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has been a weekly tradition for me & my wife and each time feels like we're dining at a friend's table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wings Empire is proof that when a family pours its heart into what they do, the result is something truly exceptional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a place with great food, a welcoming ambiance, and that special feeling of being part of something local and authentic, Wings Empire is it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We highly recommend it it's our go to spot, and we always leave happy and satisfied! #1 in San Diego!!!

    Wings very soggy my lemon pepper wings were drenched in lemon juice . Loved the bread sticks:)

    Yummy

    The best place for wings hands down the cook stayed past his shift just to make my fries, and the service is always spot on whenever I work in the area I always come and eat here.

    The food was great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We decided to eat outside and it was very clean too, very good ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They play great music, not too loud and not too soft Just right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jasmine was great very helpful with helping me choose the flavor of my wings. She was super nice and attentive. We will definitely come again.

    I came in person recently with 9 friends. They were able to accommodate us even though we were just…read morewalking in. The woman was super friendly even though it was a little chaotic. At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

    Highly recommend Oodles. I often get the fresh Salad rolls (the peanut sauce is exceptional.)…read more The service is friendly. The location is quaint but charming. My personal favorite is Dan Dan noodles with extra Dan Dan sauce. Noodles are exquisite and the meat is perfection. My only hang up is the price for the product.

The wings were a really good size--not tiny--and cooked just right. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The buffalo sauce had a nice kick to it without being overwhelming, so you can actually enjoy the flavor instead of just burning your mouth off. The fries were also solid--crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy. You can tell they actually care about how their food comes out, not just throwing stuff together. I also tried their ranch, and it was really good (definitely needed more though, they don't give a ton ). The service was quick and smooth. Staff seemed chill and didn't take long to get the order out, even though it was a bit busy when I went. The place itself had a relaxed, casual vibe--good for just hanging out or grabbing food with friends. Only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is because I wish the portion of sides/sauces was a little bigger, especially for the price. But overall, the quality of the food definitely makes up for it. If you're looking for a reliable wing spot with good flavor and consistent quality, Epic Wings is 100% worth checking out. I'll definitely be coming ba

Why have a "loyalty program" when they add points then reverse it later that same day. I went today and ordered my usual 2 burgers, fries and drinks. I gave my phone number for the Points. I then asked Vieann H (who identified herself as the manager) when I showed her my receipt from last time I visited and questioned why they reversed the previous points and why I got none from this receipt I produced. She tried to act like it was my fault I received no points and couldn't tell me why the points were reversed from the previous visit (even after she went back in the office to do the research. She told me when came back from the office, she could see all my order history but she couldn't give me back any points from my 2 previous visits. I told her this will be the last time I come and she is losing a customer over 29 points. SHE COULD CARE LESS. Her response to this was "I went in the back to do research". Beware! They don't even deserve the 1 Star I had to give them.
