One of my favs

Cheap, delicious, unique menu. Some of the tastiest wings in the city and great change from traditional american buffalo wings. I've had the entire menu and everything is delicious. Staff is also incredibly nice, friendly, and appreciates the business. Deliveries come so quick you would think they already knew you were ordering. Space is tight to eat, so best as takeout.

If you're looking for an escape beyond another salad and sandwich spot during work try Tebaya. The food is awesome (#1 lunch is 6 wings over spicy rice with a small salad for $7 which includes a drink), the staff is super friendly and they make your meal in no time. Nothing switches up the mundane corporate lunch cuisine options like Tebaya. Take it from a guy who's been working in this area for years. -DCesario

GREAT KARA AGE- BUT THE PLACE NEEDS TO CLEAN UP A BIT

I must say while I love coming here for their super crunchy, juicy and delicious Kara age, and the service is sweet, these guys should really consider fixing up the joint. It is so grimey that I find it hard to enjoy my chicken. I know it's supposed to be low key, paper plates and plastic forks and all, but I really think the bins and the floor can do with a scrub. But I will still come back to get my chicken...yummy! http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/10/06/dining/20091007-chicken-slideshow_3.html

great wings

The wings are very tasty, but very messy. They give you plenty of wet naps & napkins to clean up with. The owners are very nice & friendly. When I was done eating, they even gave me a free dessert to "taste"...It was a green tea mousse & it was good too.
