Steve Peternell: I've tried the Seoul Sassy and Spicy Wings and they've both been phenomenal - do yourself a favor and try one of, if not both, of these wing varieties
Monica Silva: Love this place, they have amazing right bowls! I suggest you share a bowl they are largely portioned. Wings are amazing try the Seol flavor my favorite
Chicagoist: Crisp is Lakeview's fried chicken haven. Their Korean style chicken, including the jumbo wings, is available in 4 variations: Plain Jane (sauce-less), BBQ, Buffalo and the crowd favorite, Seoul Sassy. Read more.
Brian Anderson: The XXX are the best wings! Hottest I have ever had
Nick Gertonson: Fish and Chips, and the special wings - pumpkin spice and apple, with Cheddar broccoli slaw.
Leanne Z: Had three types of wings, all awesome! They'll do half and half baskets of 8 wings. Many cider choices if anyone happens to be gluten free. Service was awesome and the waiter gave great suggestions.

Serious Eats: Bird's Nest serves some incredibly solid wings: juicy, flavorful, and crisp. Even the celery and blue cheese were good. And at just 70 cents per wing, that's a serious deal.
Angela: Awesome chicken wings, fun staff and the best garlic fries in Chicago. Great spot to watch football too.
Todd Bernier: Best wings in Chicago. Occasionally hard to find a seat, but otherwise my favorite dive bar in the city.

VegNews Magazine: The spicy Buffalo-style wings are to-die-for, and the creamy soy shakes are truly delightful. Also awesome: the biscuits ‘n' gravy, tempeh Reuben, chicken-fried steak, and cookies-and-cream cake.
Amy Graff: Chicago vegan legend. Reuben gets all the love but the truffle melt really, yes, melts my heart. Seitan wings are amazing starters and the peanut butter shake is the best end to your vegan junk feast.
Anamaria Hernandez: The buffalo wings were some of the best buffalo wings I've ever tried - and I'm a meat eater who loves wings! Tastes amazing - you won't even know it's not chicken!
