WE DO NOT USE UBER EATS! I REPEAT, WE HAVE NEVER USED UBER EATS!

Sorry for yelling but we have had 7 drivers come in already today about orders. We do not receive the orders from Uber Eats, thus we can not make the order. I’m not sure how and why this is happening. It’s also a 10 year old menu!

The only 3rd party delivery we are partnered with is Eatstreet!

We have wings this week until we run out!

Photos from Lao Laan-Xang Atwood's post 01/20/2024

The LOVE Special.

Missed your chance at the wings Saturday night like the Packers missed their chances for the win? Fear not, we are running this special this week until we run out! We will run out and probably won’t make them again until festival season.

Be that fan that brings in a big ol bucket of wings to your Packers viewing party. What red blooded Packer fan doesn’t LOVE chicken wings.

Watching it at your favorite watering hole? Grab some to gift the bartenders! They will LOVE you long time! Nothing says faster service and stiffer drinks than a bucket of wings!

We got a lot of LOVE for chicken wings. We are gonna share some of that LOVE with you this weekend. In honor of #10, we are offering 10 wings for $10. That’s almost a loss leader for us, a big win for you guys. Anybody in the chicken wing industry knows that wing prices peak before the superbowl before they bottom out again shortly after.

Our wings are marinated in mushroom soy sauce, rice wine, and chili paste. Hand dusted in house served with a sweet and spicy chili sauce. Asian flavors made by real Asians!
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

VEGGIES ARE NOT INCLUDED with this special but feel free to order a side of steamed veggies for the non wing eaters or the illusion of being healthy.

10/$10

“LOVE is all you need!”
❤️❤️❤️
Go Pack Go!

Available for dine in, carryout, or delivery via a 3rd party eatstreet.

We always prefer your order directly from us. 100 % of sales and gratuity goes to us and not a 3rd party. Pull up front of the store, throw on your hazards, and come on in to grab your order.
