I got tuna kimbop and udon togo and they were both super good -kimbop was not sweet, and the amount of seasoning was great. Like the rice was actually seasoned- not just white rice like some fake korean joints. Fillings to rice ratio was pretty good too. Only thing is that I expected tuna mayo instead of just tuna? But I feel like this is more of a preference so just an fyi - udon had unexpected flavor, not that it was bad, just different than what I expected. Not like regular japanese udon but more of korean old fasion udon.. (가락국수 스타일!). It was tasty with hearth broth:) Also the prices are pretty good for this economy

I ordered the spicy bulgogi chicken combo. And was displeased to get home and taste it, because it is just chicken tossed in buffalo sauce… not what i ordered at all.

Ordered a 50 piece last night I must say I Was highly disappointed. The wings were not properly cleaned you could taste it. Also it was feather left all over the chicken which furthermore indicated that the chicken was properly not cleaned and it tasted like it and I have ordered from this place several times and never have received chicken wings so disgusting. I don’t know if it was because I placed a big order or what but I will not be coming here again.

Went at 9PM on a Wednesday. I got hot honey wings with fried rice. The wings were small, bony, and had bad flavor both in the sauce and meat. Pink and veiny and gross. Fried rice was edible but obviously microwaved, yum yum sauce was NOT yum yum sauce and tasted like spicy mayo (a true Yum Yum enjoyer knows the difference). Lady at the counter was nice. Will not be here again; go to Ahi downtown if you want good cheap fried rice.

awful experience. i went at 11pm on a saturday night to get some wings and they completely messed up my order and gave me the wrong flavor wings (i got half&half 10pc combo of mild lemon pepper and mango habanero and got buffalo and sweet thai chili...) fries were unseasoned too, had no flavor. wing sauce was real watered down. had a friend with me order himself some steamed rice with beef, large and EXTRA meat and they gave him about 3 big scoops of rice with not even 3 ounces of meat. ridiculous. do NOT go here, especially on a saturday night.

Amazing chicken wings with fantastic flavors!! The friendly service makes you feel right at home :) Highly recommend this local gem for a delicious and satisfying meal! I highly recommend the garlic parm ranch and the fruit juices! TRUST! The pear juice is so refreshing and those wings are flavorful!!

My absolute favorite place to grab a bite to eat in Athens. It's not just the food (although it is great and affordable). It's the way I feel like I came home every time I walk in and get greeted with cheerful smiles and hellos, no matter who's behind the counter that day. And the ajumma who runs that ship is my favorite person! So sweet and caring and helpful when I don't know what I want to try next. I also love that I can get some Korean snacks and drinks there.

We visited the establishment for a late night meal after a wedding party, around 1am-ish. So this may be why our food was just lower than okay. Practically inedible, the wings were so small and crunchy. Really, no meat on them. We only were able to taste the outside seasoning they added. We ordered over 100 wings, fries, and lo-mein. The food was just a big NO. It was hot but way overcooked. Fries were normal. Lo-mein were oily and mushy. The service was actually good, and they were actually accommodating. The food itself was just lacking and could've been a lot better. But again, it was late night. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the poor quality of food, tho. For the location to be in a college town, serving many students and tourists, I was expecting more.

Food was impeccable. So sad I’m JUST NOW finding out about this place after living in Athens for 2 years. The name of the restaurant is deceiving but their Korean food is top notch. We went during the summer so the wait was long for the food but worth every second. Bulgogi Bibimbap Kimchi Tempura Kimbap

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Athens. We had no idea this place also served Korean food because of the name ‘Wingster’ but they have an excellent Korean menu. We tried the kimchi pork bulgogi, the Hawaiian musubi kimbob and the spicy duk-bok-ki. Everything tasted really fresh and flavourful including the cucumber and sprouts salad that came with the bulgogi. But the best thing was the Hawaiian musubi kimbob - so simple yet so delicious and only $4.99 for a whole box!! Definitely going to be a regular for us.
