| - This eclectic dive takes "pieces of flare" to a whole new level! From the outside-in, it's littered with memorabilia, posters, and toy collections reminiscent of a baby boomer acid trip. After stumbling upon this place a couple years, I went back with much enthusiasm to the UYE: Wing Fest at Long Wongs.
I give the restaurant itself a 5 star rating for uniqueness. It seems to have pretty deep roots in the community, as lots of families poured in on a Friday night. Many came for the take-out. The parking lot outside is not very big, so it can be a tad hectic with folks coming and going. Near the front door, I think we saw someone selling jewelry. Not creepy "van guy" jewelry, but a nice lady with her kids interacting with customers. It is not your usual scene here, and I liked that.
I WISH I could have given the food more stars. But, frankly, the wings were lacking in meat. The BBQ sauce we got was ok. I did like the inferno flavor (it was more like a medium/hot level of heat). The wings themselves were mostly bone and gristle, and without amazing flavor to supplement, weren't up to par with other valley wing spots. We also ordered the deep fried zucchini, which I rather liked. But hey, I'm a sucker for deep fried *anything*. Also, the Pepsi is free refills, so that was a plus.
I do recommend you grabbing a few friends to check the place out. It's a neat restaurant and the food won't disappoint you. Just don't go in with too high of expectations.
