Was looking for a spot to grab wings in DT. Stumbled on this during my search! It's in Santee alley. The vibe was friendly and they were playing all the cumbias! Food came out quickly. The flavors were amazing. I got the garlic soy and the sweet and spicy. Definitely coming back!

Am here this time to rate their matcha which they added to the menu. The strawberry matcha sells out quickly it seems but its really good. The brown sugar boba is great too! The service was quick and friendly.

I've been ordering from this place for a while now, and they have been consistently great. I either order the chicken wings, which are always flavorful, juicy, decent size, and so crunchy. I absolutely love them. The fries that come with the chicken wings are always crispy and flavorful as well, alongside the onion rings and round potatoes like mojo potatoes. I have also ordered their bowls and they are pretty good as well. They could be better, but overall they are good. The spicy fire bowl they have is all sorts of spicy, including their spicy fried rice which is beyond what I expected. If you're looking for a good chicken wing spot that likes korean style fried chicken wings, and some good fried chicken bowls, try this place out. Well worth it, and they are relatively cheap for the food you get.

Love this spot.. My son introduced me to this little spot in DTLA and I've loved it ever since.. I've brought friends and my boyfriend here and everyone has loved this spot as much as me.. i usually order their 20oz cup of soy chicken and a bowl of white rice, I've also been a HUGE of their chicken wings. The service here is always good, the music here is always on point. Overall, I give them a 20/10. I am always satisfied when I come here.

Better pound is really good. I actually got the wings that weren't really on the menu as they are a special item right now and that's the honey garlic bbq wings I believe. They're on the back of the menu. Bomb wings can't lie love the batter and how their chicken is made sauces are good they can give a lot of places a run for their money. But! Maaaaan they have to stop being skimpy on the fries man. I mean come on you spend $18 on fries and four wings no drinks and i paid 2 more bucks for their sauces. lol I had sauce left because I didn't have enough fries. I've patronized this place about three times in less than a month so clearly I like their food but show some love on the fries and give a bit more. You can tell I'm being honest look at the pictures of other peoples posts.

Their original batter is so unique!!! I don't think I've ever tasted something like it and I mean that in a delicious way!!! Super crunchy wings that are really juicy inside. As for the sides I love that they offer onion rings and not just string cut fries. The seasoning on the fries tasted like furikake but I could be wrong. So good!!! They also offer whole fried chicken, spicy chicken, rice bowls, chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches and popcorn chicken. I just can't with all of their options and I cannot wait to try them all!!! Service was great they knew it was my first time and they took the time to explain each dish to me so I felt comfortable with my order. As for the indoor seating area it's expansive and refreshing to have AC while eating at the Santee Alleys. They even sell merch!!! I highly recommend this chicken shop!!!
