Hi, I didn’t see anything about this spot on HO and wanted to provide an update because I find it to be extra delicious. It rivals Howlin Rays in LA Chinatown for me. It certainly can compete in the heat department. I find it addictive. It’s also attainable and the folks there than run the shop are kind and generous and keep a fun vibe (similar to HR, but in an Oakland way!)
Beer is available.
Personally, I like the wings best. But the sandwich is great too. I don’t care for mayo-ish slaw which but I do note that Hotboys deploys dark meat for the sandwich which gives it a thigh up on Howlin Ray’s version.

There’s also one in Sacto.
