Woody's Wings N Things
Inside Woody's Wings N Things
Woody's Wings N Things is a full-service restaurant tucked into a modest strip mall on Lowell Boulevard in Westminster, serving a diverse menu that spans Chinese, Laotian, Vietnamese, and broader Southeast Asian flavors. Its atmosphere leans toward the nostalgic, with a décor that some might call “dated” but in a way that recalls an old-school family spot where the focus lands squarely on the food rather than fancy surroundings.
The place often draws a mix of locals looking for authentic regional dishes that veer away from the more familiar Chinese-American options. Families and groups who appreciate bold, genuine Southeast Asian cuisine find it a comfortable, no-frills spot to dig into hearty plates. The menu itself is refreshingly eclectic — you’ll find everything from sizzling hot wings spiced in various regional styles to classic dishes like lemongrass wings and pad see ew, alongside less common items such as Lao style papaya salad, Cambodian lemongrass beef skewers, and crispy 3 layer pork belly. The lunch specials offer a straightforward, affordable way to sample some of the Chinese-American staples, each serving accompanied by a crispy egg roll.
Service at Woody's tends to be functional rather than overtly attentive, so it’s the kind of place where you might need to catch the server’s eye when you’re ready for the next course. Despite this, the kitchen consistently delivers flavors that locals rave about — from a standout shrimp and lobster sauce that’s said to be among the better versions in the area to the well-seasoned noodles in dishes like Pad Kee Mao.
The vibe is informal and familiar, with a parking lot often busy during peak meal times, hinting at its steady neighborhood following. Expect a mix of subtle Southeast Asian influences alongside the comforts of homey, familiar dishes. It’s not a polished dining room meant for a special occasion, but rather a dependable spot to enjoy complex, authentic flavors in a relaxed setting.
Who should come here? Those craving Southeast Asian authenticity beyond typical takeout, adventurous eaters eager to explore less common regional dishes, and locals wanting a casual gathering spot with solid food portions. It’s equally a lunch destination for folks working or running errands nearby, and a dinner choice for those after a no-nonsense bowl of comforting noodles or a plate of fiery wings.
Best time to visit: Lunchtime specials offer good value, while evenings tend to fill up with groups seeking the full dinner menu’s variety. Because the space is modest and service is paced, come with an appetite and a laidback attitude.
