Manchu
If you’re looking for the spot with the bomb fried chicken wings, this is it. It’s a wing joint/Chinese place/corner store all in one bright purple building, and is in the hood, so expect to pass a few characters on the way in. The wings are fresh and delicious. If you get a plate with sides, skip the salad and opt for double rice. You can call ahead or order when you get there. If you’re having a party and you need 200 wings STAT, you can probably get them in like 30 minutes (rice, too!). Seriously. Crunchy outside, juicy inside. Yes to Manchu! Please note: This is a to-go establishment, there’s nowhere to eat, and parking is very limited. If you’re visiting the city, and staying downtown, you’ll need to grab an Uber/Lyft.
