The Yummiest Chicken Wings in San Jose

Atlas Pizza Parlor

★★★★☆ 4.3 (712) • $$

"We happened upon Atlas while on a date in the area, and we both agreed this is probably the best pizza we've ever had!We ordered the Italian garlic combo pizza, noori chicken wings, and potato wedges. The pizza was chock-full of toppings, incredibly flavorful, and the crust had the perfect crunch--so delicious! The wedges and wings were fantastic, well-seasoned, and crispy!Service was outstanding! We initially sat inside, but since it was such a beautiful day, we decided to move to the patio. I didn't catch her name, but the young lady was incredibly helpful in assisting us with the move and was very attentive throughout.Parking was a bit tricky (street parking), but we managed to find a spot near the front. Definitely coming back!"

Blurr Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (781) • $$

"Blurr Kitchen is located in a small shopping center in Santa Clara. I showed up about 15 minutes before closing, so parking wasn't an issue. I could see how it could be a problem during peak times. The food was plentiful. Even with all the food being on a warming tray, it seemed fresh. We got a few combo plates for takeout and the portion size was humongous. Literally, we could have shared one plate and still had a ton of left overs. Super excited to have Blurr Kitchen in our "backyard" and looking forward to trying other dishes from them."

Ohgane KBBQ x Vons Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.8 (820) • $$$

"All you can eat. Food was pretty good to me. I just wish the service was faster but the staff were nice. It seemed they were low staffed. They did the best to try and change the grill too. But for a weekend day they should have more members. I dropped a star for that.But it was clean on the inside!Everything meat wise was yummy. Sauces were on point. Private lot in front"

Slice of Homage Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (605) • $$

"The food was definitely amazing if you're craving good old classic pizza. Lots of options ranging from a classic New York pizza with cheese to Detroit style pizza. The wings were average but it was good for a pizza place. The worker was super nice, listened and spoke to us as if we were friends. The vibes were great! Only issue is there is little seating, but you can always walk to San Pedro's little seating area!100% would come back again."

MAZRA

★★★★★ 4.5 (507) • $$

"We were so lucky to have a party of 11, come on a Sunday evening ,and get seated right away. The host and staff were very accommodating of our small children and quick to help us. The food was easy to order through our phone and surprisingly affordable for being in downtown Redwood City! I love the self serve hot tea station. It smelled of cinnamon. The heaters and lights outside made for an enjoyable atmosphere. The interior transport you to a nice Mediterranean diner. The food was just as delightful and fresh. I love the baba ganoush, the tabouli salad, fluffy pita bread, and chopped chicken skewer plate with rice. The garlic sauce was so perfect. A surprising favorite was their giant charred cauliflower, seasoned and cooked perfectly. This was a sure highlight of our trip!"

Fire Wings

★★★★☆ 3.9 (667) • $$

"I'm a bit selective when it comes to my wings. I like them to be saucy, but not wet because the wings end up being soggy. But not Fire Wings' wings. I ordered the Saigon wings and the Dragon wings. It's perfectly flavored - umami, spicy, and spicy! Not to mention, the wings were still slightly crispy. I also ordered the chili cheese fries. My first time trying it ever and I actually liked it. The fries were coated and still crispy. Fire Wings is definitely worth trying (again and again)."

Smoke Eaters

★★★☆☆ 3 (743) • $$

"After much debate, I ordered the classic cheeseburger. And it was an amazing burger -- the caramelized onions added a sweet note that balanced the well seasoned and sizable beef patty. It might not be a hit with those who aren't a fan of the sweet and savory combo, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The special sauce added a tangy layer of flavor to each bite. The fluffy but sturdy bun did a great job of holding the (slightly messy) sandwich together. The fries were relatively basic but made for a delicious accompaniment to the burger. Next time, I would probably try out some of the other sides on the menu. The atmosphere is very laid back but a little rowdy depending on who's playing. It's a great place to watch a game. Hopefully I'll be back soon!"

Curry Pizza House San Jose Evergreen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (388) • $$

"Wow! Stopped here on a road trip with my family and loved it. The staff was super accommodating and even gave us a free pizza when they slightly messed up our complicated order. The food was amazing and the beer selection was a bonus surprise as well. Thank you especially to our server, Henry! That guy deserves a special award for going the extra mile."

KV Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.4 (336) • $$

"KV Noodle was amazing from start to finish. It's unassuming from the outside, but everything else is just how you'd want it to be. The vibe is part sports bar, part fancy restaurant. The service quick and attentive. The people working there seemed to be happy working there.And the food!!! I'll dream about that shrimp tempura tonight. The menu has changed a bit from some of the photos in other reviews-they no longer have the crispy noodles. Do we tried the combination yellow noodles (dry) and it did not disappoint. From the presentation to the taste it was superb. The spring rolls were fresh and the sauce it came with was delish. If our meal was any indication of the rest of the menu, I need to find more excuses to go to San Jose so I can try more things."

Island Taste Caribbean Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (303) • $$

"Service was great food was tasty!!! I'll def return! I can't find the pics I took but when I come across or return I'll be sure to post them!"

Volcano Island

★★★★★ 4.6 (303) • $$

"Such a hidden gem for Korean bunsik items: tteokbbokki, kimbap, and Korean fried chicken. I love that they do a boneless of the Korean chili large fried chicken. It comes with a side of radishes and makes it more authentic. Definitely call ahead to place your order ahead of time. There is no seating except some tables outside, so I highly recommend taking it back somewhere else to eat. My go to orders are: kimbap, japchae, tteokkbbokki, & large fried chicken with 1/2 soy garlic / 1/2 korean chili."

Curry Pizza House Cupertino

★★★★☆ 4 (398) • $$

"Ordered two pizzas. A pepperoni with red sauce and a white sauce with extra cheese. Both were delicious. Had them delivered! Excellent"

Jang Mo Jip

★★★★☆ 3.9 (413) • $$

"first time here over all it was not badbeef short ribs were little dry and hardseafood pan cake it was okbeef tofu soup the best also this is the first korean restaurant that gave very little portion on side dishes, very little!!"

Curry Pizza House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (363) • $$

"Curry pizza house is our go-to and never fails! I loved the palo alto location specifically because I love the service there, they made us feel comfortable and asked us if were doing okay periodically! Its a sports bar, and there was a game going on when we went, we loved the whole atmosphere.As a vegetarian, I love the malai paneer pizza the most - its spicy and creamy."

Odagada

★★★★☆ 3.8 (408) • $$

"This restaurant stays true to the authentic methods of Korean cuisine. Many of the dishes are perfect pairings for drinks and conversations, just like what you'd find at gatherings after work in Korea. The portions are very generous, one serving is often too much for just one person. My favorite is their spring onion fried chicken, which is best enjoyed fresh on site. The Korean ajummas are also incredibly friendly, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere."

Spoon Korean Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (368) • $$

"I never leave disappointed whenever I go to Spoon! I've been here a few times and have tried some other dishes, but the tonkatsu is a must everytime!Some other dishes I've tried are stir fry octopus, short rib soup, and tteokbokki. All are decent but the tonkatsu is definitely the best. The perfect flavor and crisp. Whether you get the regular or cheese tonkatsu, you won't be disappointed. I've gotten it to go/delivered a few times as well and it was still nice and crispy!"

Fire Wings

★★★★☆ 3.8 (401) • $$

"This is strictly a review for a to-go order. I usually love getting the salt and pepper wings but this time they were extra salty. I had to eat it with something to make it edible. However, whenever I've had it in the past it was good so I think this might have been one off. The garlic noodles are super tasty. I also ordered all carrots but they still ended up giving be celery. Given this is a to-go order it wasn't as good in person since lost some of the crunch."

Seniore's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (363) • $$

"Best pizza in San Mateo For years we been eating pizza from this place.We always order delivery. Review based on the pepperoni pizza we get only , Cheese on pizza is so good , we always order an XL because we love having left overs from this place when we reheat it comes out like if it was freshly delivered. Although I wish they added more cheese packets in the box . Their pizza is great and worth it."

China Station

★★★★☆ 3.9 (323) • $$

"Notify the press! China Station is back!Still soft opening, but they know what's important... spicy fried chicken wings! From what I was told, it is not the same owners, but they are related, so recipe is the same. From what I ate today, it sure tastes the same!Please note that during soft opening, the menu is limited (no party trays yet) and it is cash only!"

Sal's Burgers

★★★★★ 4.6 (229) • $$

"Stopped by Sal's Burgers, located in a convenient strip mall off Highway 92. It's a walk-up and order at the counter spot with seating both inside and outside. Perfect for a casual meal. We ordered the SF Patty Melt, which comes loaded with grilled onions, mushrooms, Swiss and cheddar cheese, all on sourdough bread and the Cowboy burger, topped with cheese, an onion ring, pickle, halal bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms, and barbecue sauce. For sides, we went with onion rings and garlic fries. The burger portions were just right--neither too big nor too small, making it perfect for an average appetite. The food took about 10 minutes, which was expected,and both burgers were tasty. The sides were also solid. Overall, the service was efficient, and the pricing was what you'd expect for a burger spot. I'd come back to try more from their menu."

Vons Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.3 (250) • $$

"Went for Weekday Lunch SpecialFood - 5/5. The boneless wings were a beautiful golden brown, moist, and had great crunch. The real garlic had a mellow garlic flavor with a strong hint of sweetness. Despite the wet sauce, the wings remained crispy throughout the whole meal. Cole slaw was light on the mayo, making it a suitable palette cleanser. Pickled radish had a good balance of sweet and sour flavor and the rice was fluffy.Service - 4/5. Friendly and quick service. Chicken came out in good time. Water was self-service.Value - 5/5. At base, the lunch special is priced in the mid $10s. Their menu offers a great variety letting you choose type of chicken and sauce from their full menu. Portions are nice and comes with vegetable sides and a choice of carb, which can also be upgraded for a small supplement.Parking - Street/Municipal Garage (Free)"

Campbell Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (272) • $$

"We were hesitant to try Campbell Pizza at first, as we weren't sure how the pizza and crust would turn out based on the photos. We've had bad experiences before (looking at you, Laughing Monk in Sunnyvale with your cardboard-tasting frozen crust!), but we decided to give this place a shot. So glad we did!The pizza was delicious--thin, tasty, and with a crust that was clearly fresh and homemade. The wings were impressive too--meaty and packed with flavor. We also noticed they have a seafood pop-up with some very tempting options, which we'll definitely be trying next time. The atmosphere was just right for catching a 49ers game, not too crowded but still lively. Plus, there are over 20 tap handles, making it a great spot for beer lovers. Definitely a hidden gem!Now the downsides: The bathrooms could use some serious cleaning, and the place could be a bit brighter. It's kind of dark inside. There are no purse hooks at the bar. Also if you go to Doppio Zero in Campbell their pizzas which are top tier quality 00 Italian wood fire pizzas are less than Campbell Pizzas 12" medium. So pricing is a bit expensive here. 12" pizza here at Campbell Pizza is a whopping $27 when it should be less than $22. Flour House in San Luis Obispo ranked 19th best pizza in the Nation. Most of their pizzas are also less. Other than that, it's a great spot, and it's group- and kid-friendly. We'll definitely be back! This is no doubt a solid spot and the own Bic is super nice. This could very well be a place we visit often!"

Halal Wings Plus

★★★★☆ 4.1 (258) • $$

"I love this place and my boys love it too. They have a lot of options and combos to choose from. They also have boneless wings which have more meat... Even though I love most of the flavors, my favorite has to be the boneless spicy lemon pepper ...The staff is always friendly!! They chat with us and give my boys extra fries, extra sauces, etc.The restaurant is also very clean. Too bad I'm about 35 minutes away, but it's worth the drive."

Five Star Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (245) • $$

"We love their takeout pizza for indian fusion flavors!!Today we ordered takeout for 2 medium pizzas:1. Half and half veg - masala veggie 4/5 and paneer tikka 5/52. Half and half non veg - chicken tikka masala 5/5 and pesto chicken 4/5My personal favorites are chicken tikka masala and then next best was paneer :) must try!!I love the fact that they offer so many size options and price for regular crust and thin crust is the same :)Size options below:- mini 7 inch for $8- small 10 inch for $15- medium 12 inch for $18- large 14 inch for $23- giant 18 inch for $302 mediums were good for 4 of us as lunch.Definitely recommend it! #supportlocal"

Odumak

★★★★☆ 3.9 (271) • $$

"Good service and good food!Their magic cheese chicken was kind of weird, would not get that again! Original was the best. We also enjoyed the spicy and popcorn chicken, as well as the corn cheese. This time, there was K-Pop music! The servers were also great. Shout out to Kyle for taking care of us!"

Villa Lucias

★★★★☆ 3.9 (259) • $$

"After a six month closure Villa Lucia's reopened in late 2024. Many of the staff returned and the new owner is serving up classic Italian American fare. The dishes are very reminiscent of Chicago style Italian food. The house dressing is an herby red wine vinaigrette. Pizza was excellent with a buttery garlic flavored crust.Happy that a local joint managed to reopen and continue in the community."

Vons Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (220) • $$

"Fried Chicken was a hit with my family. Placed a phone order and ready within 15 mins. Plenty of parking and conveniently located in a shopping center close to freeway off ramps. Ordered the crispy honey chicken and yangnyum. The pieces were just wings or drumsticks. My confusion or assumption was when it says "half or full," I thought it was half or whole chicken cut up because in LA it is done that way. Price-wise is on average with wingstop but the proportion is tastier and bigger. Definitely more money's worth in comparison. Half order comes with a large cup of pickled radish and full comes with two. Will try other options in the future."

Asia Express

★★★★☆ 3.9 (240) • $

"This is one of my Go-To spots when I just want some solid Chinese food. Nothing fancy, super tasty and really quick. I LOVE the Egg Chow Fun. It's one of my favorites to order along with their Combination Fried rice. I like to get the sesame chicken (though it can be sweet) and the Mongolian chicken. Some things that I tend to stay away from because they have better items are the Cashew Chicken and the soups. But overall love the staff and the food. There's usually a line during peak times but it's worth it! Call ahead if you don't want to wait too long."

Curry Pizza House San Jose Union Ave

★★★★★ 4.6 (164) • $$

"This is my wife and I's go to spot when we want pizza in San Jose. In my opinion, this is the best pizza spot around. The service is excellent, and the gentlemen working the counter is extremely nice and helpful. As far as the pizza goes, the flavors are out of this world! And the portion sizes are perfect.Curry Pizza House, keep doing what you're doing, and for the people in the area looking for a good local pizza spot, be sure to check them out! You will not be disappointed."

Thaibodia Bistro - Campbell

★★★★☆ 3.6 (258) • $$

"We love this place! I've been here at least 6 times since we found it a few months ago.The service is friendly and fast! I love the two ladies who run the restaurant!The food! The parantha is so yum! I mostly get Pad See Ew. My family gets veggie dishes. They have really nice portions! And all four of us love the food!They have a smoking deal on order ahead/carry out.And they have boba drinks!What's not to love!"

Curry Pizza House Fremont Mission

★★★★☆ 4.3 (161) • $$

"As some college students visiting a friends hometown for the weekend, i am so glad they showed us this spot. After a long drive, this was easy to pick up and not far from our stay. We got a chili paneer and the tandoori chicken pizza. our favorite was the tandoori chicken - we tried the chili panner due to other reviews and did really enjoy it as well. However we just really enjoyed the tandoori chicken one much better. This isn't chicken found on any fast food pizza, it was flavorful and juicy. The flavors were delicious and it was a very fresh pizza. If you're into crispy dough you might want to request well done crust, I like the crispy shell/chewy inner style of crust which i feel this has. Service was quick and the workers were very friendly! They even cut up the XL pizza into a grid as asked (we were feeding many people!) An XL 18inch pizza will comfortably feed 4-5 hungry people. Overall really enjoyed the space it was calm, clean, and welcoming."

Iniburger

★★★★★ 4.5 (138) • $$

"First time here with 4 high energy kids. Got mini burgers and Bigi burger, fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders. Ini sauce is really good. Amr helped us and was so patient with all our specific requests and all the asks of our kids. He made their milkshakes (freshly made) with whatever toppings they wanted. Excellent food, excellent service. Thanks for making our night more fun, Amr!!"

Vons Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.6 (196) • $$

"I ordered the crispy padak chicken along with the honey butter flavor. The crispy padak chicken was outstanding, with perfectly fried pieces that were incredibly juicy on the inside while maintaining a delightful crunch on the outside. The scallions paired with the tangy sauce elevated the dish, adding a refreshing bite to balance the richness of the chicken. It's a great choice if you're looking for a well-balanced, flavorful meal.The honey butter chicken was equally delicious, offering a completely different experience. The chicken had a buttery glaze with just the right amount of sweetness, which wasn't too overpowering. The honey butter flavor melted in your mouth with every bite, making it a comfort food that's hard to resist.Both options highlight how this restaurant nails the texture and flavor of their fried chicken. The portion sizes were generous, and the service was prompt, adding to an overall satisfying dining experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Korean fried chicken and enjoys diverse flavor profiles."

Clifford's Chicken and Fish

★★★★☆ 4.4 (113) • $$

"Visited on a Monday evening, and the place wasn't too busy during the last hour of business. Parking was easy to find directly in front of the entrance. The interior of the restaurant was clean and casual, with wooden flooring and lovely artwork decorating the walls. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff was friendly and provided immediate service, no wait to order. However, they accidentally mixed up my order with another customer. The staff was apologetic and fixed the error promptly, but I ended up having to wait 30+ minutes for my correct order. I wasn't in a hurry, so not a big deal, but still worth noting. Got the chicken thigh and catfish a la carte, as well as a couple honey butter biscuits. Omg, the fish and chicken were both so juicy and tender, and full of flavor. I loved the biscuits even more, fluffy and buttery, and so satisfying. The food was just fantastic! So although my recent experience here wasn't perfect, I would definitely return, especially for more of those biscuits :D"

Thaibodia Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (122)

"Love love love that I stumbled across this place! We were looking for a takeout Thai food place on Mother's Day & found Thaibodia Bistro through yelp. We did the deal they had that was 4 entrees for $54.99... you get to choose 2 dishes that include beef or seafood at no extra cost. We chose shrimp fried rice, beef pad see ew, chicken pad Thai & bbq grilled chicken. We also got a side of mango sticky rice & Thai tea. All for around $75. You can't beat it! Entrees were a good size, there was 2 of us & we had enough for leftovers the following day. I love Thai food, as I've had many different places. I'll definitely be keeping Thaibodia Bistro in my regular rotation!"
