Located right across the plaza from the Regal Edwards Theater at The Lakes Mall, this chicken shop was clean, however we felt that the food and service were just okay. FOOD: Nothing was bad, but nothing "wowed" us either. First, we ordered the Spicy Tuna Nachos ($12.95) appetizer, which was actually served last (not sure why restaurants don't understand the concept of an appetizer...it's supposed to come pre-meal). We tried the 12-piece Wings ($17.95), splitting the flavors between Lemon Pepper and Garlic Soy (flavors weren't very bold), as well as the Chicken Katsu Curry Bowl ($12.95), which I thought was a little dense/heavy. We also ordered both bottled and draft beers, and I thought that they could have been served much colder. Overall, it was only okay, and we decided that we probably wouldn't go out of our way to return.

With great wings comes great responsibility... I've never had wings as good as the wings at Far East Joint. Let me put it like this: they're life-changing. If your life ever flashes before your eyes you will remember your first FEJ wing, your wedding, and the birth of your first child -- and in that order. These wings stick with you. You dream about them. They become a part of your life plans, like... what if I have to move away from Southern California one day? How will I get Far East Joint's wings??? Then you have a nervous breakdown thinking about it and you hope Amazon's has invented some sort of instant shipping by then. My coworkers and I went to FEJ every Friday (at least) when our office was close by. Now it's an hour round trip, and we make that trip at least once a month. We have to. When we pull up, the pooling drool from the half hour of anticipation pours out of the car as we open the doors. Which leads me to the few downsides of FEJ. For one, we made that one-hour round trip recently only to find they were inexplicably closed on a Friday at 12:30 with no explanation. I felt like I'd been stood up by the girl I thought was "the one." My heart still stings from this let down. I felt like I had lost a child. I felt like I found out the Bible wasn't real. I felt like Tom Hanks at the end of Castaway when he found out his wife married some other guy. We wept in the street and questioned the meaning of life together. Also, literally every time we go in, it seems like the staff has been replaced. Amazingly, the chicken remains consistently awesome but why can't they keep employees for more than a couple weeks? I'd say 50% of the time the employees are fairly nice. The other half aren't mean -- they just have that vacant look in their eye like some dazed non-binary goth who works in the electronic music section at Amoeba music and is dead inside. Maybe they just need a little enthusiasm training. They've always been really good about custom requests -- until last time we went in and they told me that the way I have always ordered my wings (combining two flavors) is now impossible. I told them I had always gotten them this way until now. They said it and can never be done in the whole wide world forever and ever, tag, you're it, no tag-backs, not it. Somehow they did the impossible before and somewhere along the way they lost the magic. And maybe this is petty, but they have the tiniest, thinnest, worst napkins ever. They instantly dissolve and crumple up the moment our dirty hand touches them. You wad them up and they become smaller than robin eggs. Combined with their wings which are just the perfect level of messy, I end up using at least 700 of them per meal. Conclusion: you should definitely go to Far East Joint. They need the business. It's so quiet every time I visit I fear every time that one day we will arrive and the place will have closed. This can't happen. If they close, the wings go away and with them a big part of my heart. I'm afraid of who I may become if I no longer have the option of eating FEJ wings in my life. Don't let any of the negative things I have said stop you. They have an amazing menu and the one manager lady with the black hair was always really nice to us, though we haven't seen here around lately. My hope for this review is that it gets more people to go to FEJ and that whoever runs things there reads this and makes some tweaks so that the establishment itself can live up to the high standards of its own amazing food.
