Left Wing - San Francisco

We had a quick lunch at H-Mart and ordered food in Left Wing & Paik’s Noodles.

The soy garlic chicken (bone-in, 8 pieces) was good, flavorful and hot. Because it was soaked with sauce, it’s not as crunchy as other traditional korean fried chicken. I also wish they served side dishes with it as with other korean restaurants we’ve been to.

The fries were a bit soggy and not hot anymore when served to us. They probably cooked this first or the chicken took a longer time to cook.

Quality of food keeps going down. Soy garlic flavor is good but wings are soggy. And instead of wings/drums its the whole assortment including thigh

Left Wing was a disappointment. The “original” chicken wings were flavorless, and the meat quality was subpar. The honey garlic wings were soggy and lacked flavor. Despite the menu promising bone-in drums and wings, there were random chicken pieces included. Additionally, the cashier was quite rude and refused to fill my water, insisting I buy bottled water, making me feel nickel and dimed. Overall, not worth a visit.

Unfortunately did not enjoy the food here. It’s supposed to be “wings and drumsticks” but I got a random assortment of chicken. Additionally, the honey garlic was really soggy :(

Loved this place, such kind staff, brought our food out to the table for us! Went just before close and got the soy garlic, hot, and sweet boneless and sides which were all fantastic. I was attracted by the fair prices for the sides too. Will return for more for sure.

Soy Garlic and Honey Butter Garlic is not good. Soggy fried chicken. Korean Fried Chicken is supposed to extra crispy. Even the chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken is better/crispier. I ordered the Large, 15 pieces, classic bone-in with two sides for $34. The breast and thigh pieces are cut in half to count as another piece. What Left Wing is good at is speed. My order was ready in nine minutes at lunchtime on a Tuesday.

I don't understand why other people think that their chicken is cold. I've been there multiple times, and my chicken is never cold. I've ordered bone-in garlic chicken with fries and it's the best! Please try it!

The worst chicken I have ever had everything about it was gross and not edible... The fries tasted like nothing except old oil... Very disappointing and expensive....

Since the price went up, the product isn't as appealing as before. I used to love its flavor, but now it's not as satisfying. The increase might have changed its ingredients or production, making it less desirable. I'm disappointed and looking elsewhere

I don't know why such negativity in other reviews, but I liked my boneless soy garlic boneless chicken. Very authentically Korean chicken (if they only had beer too for Chi-mek, 치맥 ?).Btw, they're not supposed to be crispy (original is the crispy one). The soy garlic tastes a lot like Kyochon chicken from the very large Korean franchise, although Left Wing also is an originally Korean franchise originating from Korea.A bit expensive than US franchise chicken btw, but if interested in a different and good taste, this the one. I'm a fried chicken aficionado, having tried SF Brenda's Meat and Three, Brown Sugar (only in Oakland now), so different, but guud! 5 stars!

3.5 stars overall, but the chicken itself was 4. It had a solid crisp on the outside. It’s different than American style boneless wings, in that it’s not made of breast meat, but more likely chicken thigh. It gives it a good texture to go along with the breading. I’d recommend the sweet & spicy but the soy garlic wasn’t bad at all. If they are busy, it can take a little longer. One nice thing is they have both self-serve kiosk and in-person for ordering.
