Wing King | Okinawa, Japan

After living on Okinawa for two years, I can say that I have looked all over for quality chicken wings. With a name like the "Wing King" I had to give this restaurant just around the corner from my house a shot. I heard mixed reviews from several people about this alleged King of the Wings, so I was reluctant to try it out for quite some time. I mean, a name like "Wing King" sets the bar pretty high don’t you think?

Now to the food. Everytime I go to the Wing King I order their chicken sandwich and six wings. It is plenty of food for one person and sure to fill almost anyone up. They offer sizes from 6 piece to 60 piece platters which range from $5.00 to $39.00 for the 60 piece.

What I really enjoy is the selection of great sauces you get to choose from.

• Hot
• Medium Hot
• Spicy Coconut
• Honey Barbecue
• Spicy Barbecue
• Honey Mustard
• Oriental
• Lemon Pepper
• Hawaiian Heat
• Sweet & Sour
• Plain Fried Chicken

Today I tried the Hawaiian heat sauce which turned out to taste more like a sweet & sour concoction. My personal favorite is probably the spicy barbecue sauce. It offers just the right amount of spice that I am looking for.

If you are worried about making the drive over to Kadena’s gate 1 area for some wings, you’re in luck. There is also another Wing King located just outside of Camp Foster. Did I mention that they offer takeout? Just call, place an order and pick it up when it is ready if you feel like taking it home.
