Description
It doesn't look like much from the outside, but as you walk by the Inner Richmond restaurant you're hit by the aromas wafting out — a powerful melody of fried chicken, with sweet and spicy harmonizing. Inside, you'll be treated to fried chicken, waffles, and hot sauce, but that's just the beginning. Hot Sauce and Panko's creative riffs on chicken wings keep fans coming back again and again for flavors like KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), featuring chile paste and garlic, bulgogi wings with savory, garlicky sauce and pickled Thai chiles, and green wings coated in a fragrant mixture of cilantro, ginger, jalapeno, and house spices. This is not fast food, so don't expect to be in and out — each wing is made to order, and during busy times the tiny kitchen can be pushed to its limit. (If you're ordering large quantities, always call ahead.) Along with wings and sandwiches, the spot also sells Belgian waffles, which come with butter or whipped cream and can be drizzled with Nutella. Sauces for sale on the premises include sweet sauces, garlic sauces, and spicy sauces with varied levels of intensity.
