Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026
5 chicken wings across San Jose, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Fire Wings · Little Saigon / East San Jose
11 dish-specific mentions · 64% positive · 5 source types · menu verified September 2026
Crispy bone-in wings with a long flavor board, from lemon pepper to garlic parm. A Story Road wing shop built for combos.
Mommy's Banh Mi · Downtown San Jose
12 dish-specific mentions · 58% positive · 4 source types · menu verified September 2026
Jumbo Korean-batter wings tossed in a sweet-savory fish-sauce glaze with scallions. A downtown banh mi counter favorite.
Cajun Bistro 7 · Silver Creek
11 dish-specific mentions · 64% positive · 5 source types · menu verified September 2026
Vietnamese fried wings seasoned with lemon leaf — citrusy, garlicky, and crisp. A Cajun Bistro 7 specialty, not buffalo.
Pho Tick Tock · Berryessa / North San Jose
10 dish-specific mentions · 40% positive · 4 source types · menu verified September 2026
Fish-sauce garlic wings, glossy and caramelized, from the Berryessa pho shop. A sharp, sticky starter next to the bowls.
Phuong Nam Restaurant · Senter Rd
10 dish-specific mentions · 50% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
Fish-sauce fried wings on Senter Road, late-night Vietnamese style. Bigger plate, richer glaze, less consensus on consistency.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked limited data until more evidence backs it up.
