Wing’s Restaurant

Go for the drinks at the bar. The food is mediocre and the service matches the quality of food.

This is a contender for the worst service in Columbus. After 20 minutes or more, a waitress came and took our drink orders. Exactly 90 minutes after we arrived, I went in search of a waitress, any waitress. I finally resorted to tracking her down in the kitchen and asked if we could put in our food order. She showed up 5 minutes later. Worst Wor Su Gai I ever had. The sardines were greasy in a terrible breading and way too much salt. No one at the table liked anything we ordered. It was uninspired, greasy, without decent seasoning, and only basic industrial grade sauces with copious amounts of salt seeming to be the only seasoning.

I have been eating at Wing’s for over 20 years and I do believe it is the BEST in Columbus! I have had pretty much everything on the menu, so that would be hard for me to single out my «favorite» dish. I KNOW they serve the best egg rolls in town and I typically order TWO w my dinner! The soups are AMAZING! They have a couple that are meant for two people to share, but they are so delicious that I order one for myself!!! Leftovers for tomorrow!!! The bar is always hopping and if you’re alone, a nice place to dine by yourself and meet your new best friend! The Yee family (owners) is always there working and greeting the guests! There is also a great American food selection, which is rare in a Chinese restaurant. Those entrees are delicious as well! I’m not a Scotch drinker, but Wing’s has the best selection around! Kenny, the owner, knows everything there is about Scotch so you’ll be in great hands. Free parking in a well lit lot and a great take out business, so if you’re in the neighborhood and don’t have time to eat in, order some take out!
And they also serve the BEST carrot cake in the world, locally made by a very famous retired pastry chef!!!

The restaurant is divided in two atmospheres a fine dining on one side and the bar dimly lit on the other side. I’ve been here in the past and seem to enjoy it more than tonight it just didn’t seem to hit the spot like it has in the past

Not terrible but most of the time average. Also definitely not worth the slightly expensive price. From what i’ve heard, the food used to be a lot better when they had the original owner but since then the food quality has decreased.
The only consistently good food item i’ve had from them is their lo mein. But overall, the price is not worth it because of the average to below average quality, and small portions compared to other asian food restaurants.

This is your typical American Chinese food. Fare is tasty and service is good. We use them mostly for carryout as they are about 3 blocks from here

Sorry to report, the worst Chinese food I have ever ordered. I could hardly eat any of the chicken chow mein. Blech!

Went with a few friends for dinner based on word of mouth. It does feel like a Chinese restaurant I went to as a child. No chopsticks but big metal flatware. Food was served on platform serving dishes with lids which looks nice but there isn’t a lot of space on the table to place the lids while you are serving. The food was people tasty. I didn’t like the placemats. They were generic paper Mats with kids puzzles. While that’s fine for kids I didn’t like clown images next to my spicy shrimp fish. They did serve basket of Italian white bread. It was tasteless and took away from the experience. We were in the dining room which was pretty quiet. Prep gaps we should have sat in the bar area there is a huge TV and a view of the scotch collection I heard about but didn’t try. One big suggestion is to have a drink menu.

Service wonderful! Food delivered hot and delicious! Won tong soup wonderful! Egg rolls crunchy and delicious!

Nothing outstanding, but all was good.
You won’t find much unique here, except an ‘American’ menu along side the traditional Westernized Chinese food. They have all the traditional fare you would have found at non-​buffet Chinese restaurants from the 70’s on.
Dinners are served with white bread & butter, odd with Asian cuisine but that’s the way they do it.
Glad I went, I like to support the local places.

My family has been coming here to Wings for decades. I love the egg rolls and the wor sui gai. I get them each and every time. The soup portions are huge as well. It has a cool ambiance about the place, you can tell it’s been around for a long time. The alcohol spirit selection is fantastic!

The complimentary water was the only good thing about Wings. My co-​workers and I came here for lunch because it had decent reviews and while the staff was pretty friendly the food was mediocre at best. The inside was very dated and the food tasted stale. Won’t go back.

Finally got here. I was in the area for something else, quite a bit off my normal routes. And I practically drove right past it, so I had to stop in. Besides, I wanted Chinese, and how often does that happen ;)
It’s in a fairly nondescript area, but it’s a nice little building and the inside is pretty fancy. At least, I felt out of place in my t-​shirt, though they had no problem with it. Service is efficient and friendly. And fast, but then they’re weren’t busy.
I had crab Rangoon to start. Pretty good, very crabby– as in, real crab. There’s a big, interesting menu, but I went with a special: garlic chicken. Tender meat, in a black bean sauce that subtly but definitively showcased garlic. Some green onions added variety.
Prices for lunch were good. Portions were fine. The staff and décor were, well, old-​school but clean and modern, if that makes sense.

This one of the first place I ate at when I move to Columbus in 1985. The place was ~40 years old then. To say it is a staple of Bexley & required experience is an understatement.
I would guess that 90−95% of their business is carry out. They have a good menu with above average service. A fully stocked bar with a cast of local regulars.

I think in order to like Wing’s, you have to have the right mindset. Don’t expect some flashy modern Asian bistro that serves anything authentic. Imagine what a high-​class Chinese restaurant in the 40s would have been… and that’s Wing’s.
First things first – the name. It’s not called Wing’s because they it’s about wings. Wing is the name of the owner!
Next up – the interior. Wing’s probably hasn’t been updated in many, many decades, but it is all types of kitschy fabulous.
Now – the food. The menu is extensive. A Chinese restaurant in the 40s would have had to have a wide appeal… Americanized Chinese dishes and other downright American meals, like steaks and other pieces of meat that your Grandma would have made. If you go into the food with the right expectations, it’ll be a-​ok. I had beef and broccoli, and it’s exactly what I expected it to be. I also had white bean and ham soup (see what I mean about the menu?), and it was delicious!
And now – the drinks. Wing’s has one of the biggest scotch selections in Columbus! They also have some local spirits, like the Watershed gin I had.
Last – the service. We had the most fabulous friendly and cranky server. She was swift and efficient – and really wanted nothing to do with us. She had several other customers to attend in the dining room, so there was no extra time for chit chat. Speaking of the other customers, my friends and I were the youngest in the restaurant by about 30 – 40 years. Wing’s definitely attracts an older crowd, but I think anybody can have a blast with the right frame of mind.

I ordered vegetable fried rice and it was terrible! As a Chinese Restaurant, how can you mess that up? The rice was overcooked & mushy and it was only 8 vegetables in the entire container. Such a disappointment. I will not return.

Just when I thought I’d seen everything, Mike G takes me to a place that’s like noneother. Wings is like stepping back into the past. When’s the last time you saw Chop Suey or Ham Fried Rice on the menu? Well, you can get those and more at Wing’s.
I ordered an eggroll (not that hot) and Orange Beef (pretty good). This was the first time I’d gotten onions and pea pods and they were pretty good. The meat was well cooked and tender.
And while I’m not a scotch drinker, this restaurant is well known for having an excellent collection of scotches.

This place was very dirty. The carpet seemed to have never been replaced. The table was dirty when we sat down.
The staff was friendly and prompt. The art on the walls was lovely.
The food experience was tainted by the musty smell. The egg roll was tasty but way too greasy. The egg drop soup had promise but it lacked something.
Worth the experience but I am not tempted to return.

First off, this is owned and run by a very nice family. They really do try and work very hard.
Wings has the best scotch selection in town! It’s several pages and very impressive. In addition, the bar selection and wine list are also very good.
They have a Chinese and American menu (what other Chinese place has mashed potatoes and gravy on the menu?).
Aside from the fantastic bar menu is the décor and atmosphere. It has a great Art Deco shaped wood bar with a 1930s cash register. Probably hasn’t changed much since opening in the 1940s as one of the first «oriental» restaurants in Columbus. Originally named The Far East.
This place is perfect for parties and hanging with a group of friends. The whole place is a throw back to the 1950s with a warm, family feeling. Very cool!
Now on to the food…
I started out with the wonton soup and an egg roll. The wonton soup was excellent! Egg roll, not so much. It was very greasy and the pork was over cooked.
They serve white bread before the main course which I’m told was customary in 1930s-​50s Chinese places in America. Bread was bread, nothing special.
Main course I ordered breaded veal with mushrooms and water chestnuts in a brown sauce over rice. It was very salty and forgettable. Next time I think I may just order off the American menu. Friends have told me they have the best onion rings and chicken sandwiches in town.
This was the fourth visit over the years and was disappointed in the Chinese food each time.
However, it is a great place relax, explore hard to find scotch and have a good time with friends/​family in a great vintage setting. Just don’t expect to be blown away by taste.

This is a Bexley institution. One of those restaurants that have stood the test of time. The same family has owned it for decades and it’s still going strong.
Take a seat at the bar with the regulars or have a seat in the dining room. The servers and bartenders have been there for a long time and they know their stuff. Service will always be friendly and well paced.
Kenny, the owner, will remember you if you’ve been there a few times. Got a special request? They are glad to custom make your order if you have something you want to leave out or you want to tweek a dish a bit.
Some of the things I’ve tried are their Eggrolls, Potstickers, Kung Pao Chicken, Chow Fun See, Lo Mein, Hot and Sour Soup, War Sue Gai and Lettuce Wraps.
All are good, but you really need to check out the Lettuce Wraps. It’s an appetizer but you can really make a meal out of it. Don’t know what it is? Well, it’s minced chicken, flavourful but not spicy and served with iceberg lettuce leaves. Put the chicken in the lettuce, roll it up and eat.
If you are a Scotch drinker, you may have already heard of their stellar selection of Scotches. Kenny knows his Scotch and he tries to get ones that you don’t see here very often.
They have a full party room with a bar set up downstairs. Got a party or large event? They can handle it there.
Wings also has a patio on the side of their building for those days you need Chinese al fresco.
TIP: If you are a person of size you will need to be aware that their restrooms are much smaller than most people’s closets and the short hallway to get to them might be a well, challenge. You’ll see.
Great classic Chinese American restaurant. Worth driving to for a great meal.
