East Meets Wings

If there was one thing you probably heard about the now-closed trailer, Fil N' Viet, it probably had something to do with the wings. Shatteringly crispy and tender, the wings were some of our favorites in town. So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the team’s new wing-only concept came in and hit the ground running with just as much love and focus as Wes Anderson has for pastels. Flavors traverse a course through Southeast Asia, pulling inspiration from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, China, and India, each equally pulling their weight. And if you show up on Fridays, you can get all six flavors in a “wing flight.” Find East Meets Wing in Playground ATX—a restaurant incubator on Airport Boulevard, near I-35—where it’ll be until mid-2024.
