Great super casual lunch spot. Wings were hot and fresh, and service was fast. Wings had a nice size and a fantastic crunchy fry. Pick your flavor and enjoy. Pricing will ofcourse vary with the market, but the value is still good.

A Evanston essential featuring East Asian inspired panko fried chicken sandwiches, wings, rice bowls and other snacks. I always go for the 10Q sandwich, as the pickled radish and togarashi mayo is simple but insane how unique this flavor is. The sandwiches feature panko fried chicken breast that are large. The chicken is so juicy, and the buttered brioche bun wraps it all together. The combo comes with fries, and the portion is always huge. Seriously, I always have leftovers of fries from this place. They are double fried (I believe) and are super crispy. The prices are fair for what you get. You can eat inside but it's nothing special, as this pretty much is a fast food place. Your food will come quickly and the service is good. They used to have this matcha soft serve that was phenomenal until their machine broke and I am so sad they don’t have it anymore. (Please bring it back sometime <3) I would recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner.

I went with non-fried chicken and regretted it. It was OK but after seeing other people receive & eat the fried chicken, I realized I made a huge mistake

This is a place where you want to grab a quick bite. You order at the counter and pick it up when they call your number. It’s quite slow and quiet during the week but very busy on the weekends, lots of college kids. Chicken wings are huge! They are super crispy yet juicy inside. My favorite is the Nashville Hot wings. Kangnam is a bit too much soy sauce for me. Bacon ranch fries are the bomb! So crunchy! Note: wings sometimes can be a bit undercooked where you can see red by the bones.

Absolutely loved this place. The Chili Buffalo hot wings easily were the best thing I ordered. I’m a big Buffalo fan and I LOVED this sauce. Wings were extremely crispy and fresh. The bacon ranch cheese fries were also extremely good. I recommend getting the meal and spending the extra cash to upgrade. The fries were well seasoned crispy. The chicken sandwich was good, but I would not come back and order it over the wings. The piece of chicken I got on it wasn’t as large as I was hoping for.

Had the Korean BBQ bowl with rice & salad. The salad dressing is really good lightly sweet. Rice is better than other Korean bowls I've had in the past. My new spot to go to in Evanston. Also great prices 10.49 for a big bowl.

What a great fast causal spot in downtown Evanston. I walked in a the setup reminded me of a 5 guys. Order at the counter and then they will call you name to pick up your order. I ordered tenders, wings and a bowl. I assumed that the order was going to take 20 min to cook however was pleasantly surprised when my order jujber was called after maybe 5-7 min. The sauces are outstanding and the chicken is super juicy. Props to the the staff for being very friendly

My go to lunch spot in Evanston. The fire bowl is my go to. The chicken sandwich and wings are very good. The portions are big. Service is pretty fast. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

Great chicken... reasonably priced and good sized portions. We loved the bowls, sandwich and fries. Server at register was patient as we ordered. Standard fast food type seating. Definitely will be back.

I had the taste for chicken tenders and 10Q did not disappoint. The tenders are huge and juicy and the sauces were so good. I got both of their spicy sauces and was not disappointed. There is plenty of metered street parking and they have seating for dining in; I did take out and the food was ready quickly.

We enjoyed the katsu chicken and Korean bbq chicken bowl and the kangnam style bowl. We ate inside which was no frills and plenty of space. All tasted really good. We ordered at counter and then they called our name for pick up. Service was friendly.

I asked the cashier what the spiciest item on the menu was, and he directed me to the Seoul x Nashville chicken wings. He did not disappoint! These wings are a must try. They are a good-sized, perfectly crispy, and the seasoning was so delicious. I also ordered the cheese fries, which were so delicious. I'm pretty sure they use nacho cheese, and I love that stuff! The tenders were humongous and had a really nice crisp. I had that with the togarashi aoili. They also have additional hot sauce near the condiments. I will definitely be coming back to try more things!

I love 10Q truly. They have the quickest serious, huge portions, perfect prices and delicious food. I literally eat here like once a week or every two weeks. They're also open late in comparison to all the other Evanston restaurants. When you come in on the later side, they will also pack your bowl to the brim which I love. I really like the korean chicken bowl. It's a must try if you're in Evanston.

It was my first time and I was recommended the sandwiches. I tried the buffalo one and wanted to throw up. It was served pretty cold and was oozing in sauces. The bun became like a cold sponge and I couldn't finish it from how gross the texture was and how cold the meat was. The fries were very greasy and the insides were full of oil. You can tell it's the cheapest brand of frozen fries. The employees were nice but the food was gross. Waste of 16$ that I'm upset about.

A balanced meal in a bowl: Korean Chicken. New to Evanston, we have now ordered twice from 10 Q. I am having stomach difficulties and this bowl satisfies me for 2-3 small meals.

Delicious fries. they made them so crispy they were addictive!! The chicken wings were crispy, flavorable and juicy. Would recommend for wings and fries cravings

Anish K.

Yelp
Ambience was quiet, however was pretty pleasant. Service was incredible, got the burger I ordered about 40 seconds after I ordered it. Food was decent, rate it 7 because the sauce was not well spread and didn't have too many other ingredients. However, chicken was seasoned really well and tasted great. Bun was soft and sauce that was there was spicy and balanced. Overall very good burger, but could be improved by adding a few more ingredients or better spreading the sauce 7/10

Marina C.

Yelp
The chicken wings were good value for the price. Not mind-blowing, but they are pretty solid wings. The sauce was good, and the wings were evenly coated. They were crispy, and the meat wasn't dry. The katsu bowl was average. The katsu could have used more flavor, but the aioli sauce and the salad dressing were good. I would recommend giving this place a try.

Yelp
I love that their bowls are all dark meat chicken. The fire bowl is terrific. I got it to go and had them lettuce on the side so it wouldn't be all wilted when I got home an hour later. The sauces are good too. Maybe best to think if you want something spicy or savory sweet. It was all good. Great to take the reviews of others to try something else besides the sandwich, as I got that on my first visit and it was good. Not as good as the fire bowl. And bonus on my visit they offered me some wings from a cancelled order, and they were terrific!

I love this place, it is one of our go to takeout spots. Their bbq tofu bowls are so flavorful and perfect for vegetarians. My husband loves all of their wings and chicken bowl options, you can get a spicy or a bbq bowl.

Very good stop for dine-in lunch. We had the Chili Buffalo sandwich combo and the Fire chicken bowl. Both were excellent but would ask for less sauce on the sandwich as it got real messy. Good flavors on both meals and they came out super fast during a busy lunch hour. The fries were sooo good and such a huge portion, we had quite a bit left. They have a nice crispy outside coating and warm and delicious inside - perfectly done. They let us try different sauces to see what we preferred. The togarashi aioli was a good dipper for the fries. We have had their tenders for takeout previously - they were massive and very good. Prices are reasonable also.

Service was good the guy that took my order was friendly the food was good for a quick bite! Really good fries the perfect crunch softness ratio! The garlic parm aioli was my favorite the sandwich was basic nothing spectacular I would get again

This is honestly one of my favorite restaurants in evanston. It's cheap, open late, and the food is always delicious. I'm always impressed by how quickly they make my order too. I love ordering the fire chicken bowl or the kangnam style wings, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. I hope to be a regular here for as long as I live in evanston.

They got some damn good chicken! I found out the owner also co-owns Bop N Grill. No wonder the food is so great! They know how to throw it down. I haven't tried the entire menu yet but the sandwiches they have got me sold and the bacon ranch cheese fries are so good.

Amy D.

Yelp
Went here for a quick lunch break... Did not expect to be floored by how delicious the chicken was. I highly recommend coming here - but maybe bring some friends because I just sat there alone, scarfing down the chicken. Sadly, the matcha ice cream machine was broken. Looks like I'll have to try again another time!

Pretty good! I ordered for take out - chili buffalo wings (spicy) -cheese fries (cheese on the side) My coworkers all mentioned that my lunch smelled really good and it made me even more excited to dig in! The wings were bigger than bdub wings for sure and they were coated well in the sauce. I couldn't pinpoint the chili, but I definitely liked the buffalo sauce! The sauce had a small kick to it, but was not really spicy. I didn't mind it though! Some parts of the skin were still crispy, so I was happy about that too :) The fries were good! Starchy and well fried. They tasted good with the cheese, but I kind of wished the sauce was Asian fusion or more unique. Overall, I would get food from here and again and recommend it!

Curtis S.

Yelp
A nice, no-frills chicken joint. I've had the classic and the 10Q sandwich, and I much preferred the 10Q. The food is fairly good, but I wouldn't say it was life-changing. The price is a little higher than I'd like for a limited menu, no-fills restaurant. Overall, not a bad place to grab lunch, but nothing that knocked my socks off.

Jennifer J.

Yelp
Excellent food here! I love the big chicken tenders, and wings are so awesome. The korean bbq bowl is another hit if you're looking for something that's not fried. I always get the mild kangnam sauce. The service is incredibly fast. Most times I go, I get a fountain drink, and by the time I've filled up my cup they're calling out my name for the food! Very modern decoration and chill ambiance, a great casual place to meet with friends or family.

Normally fine, until they but a god damn wet wipe in my sandwich. Food was fine outside of that.

Julia Q.

Yelp
As a Northwestern student, I come here at least once a week. The food is delicious. Really can't complain. This is one of the few places in Evanston where you get a balanced meal (protein + veggies!!) for a reasonable price (pretty sure most entrees are under $10). What I really want to emphasize, however, is how insanely FAST they are with preparing orders. There have been times where I finish ordering at the window, they call my name maybe 20 seconds later, and I stand there looking around for the other Julia who must have ordered before me, only to tentatively approach the counter and see that it is indeed my order. Speed + convenience + deliciousness + affordability = 5/5 stars.

Yelp
Wow. Wow. Wow. What can I say about this chicken? It was spectacular. I can't wait to come back and try another flavor. Food: I had the Kangnam style wings. It's a sweet and spicy sauce with sesame seeds. Absolutely finger-licking good. Atmosphere: Typical fast food joint with metal tables and chairs. Obviously the focus is the amazing food, so why put emphasis on the sundries? Service: Prompt and respectful. No complaints here! Parking: Street. Directly around the establishment, it's metered parking, but if you're willing to park further away (closer to the lake), you can find free parking.

This was the perfect place for our last minute dinner plans. The food was so good and the portions were just right. I think the only think that was a little overwhelming was the line and menu concept but that's not their fault. We ordered to go and the food was so good and the cheese fries were great too. We got the bbq chicken bowls and they were so good. We will definitely come back and know what we want and also try something new!

Andreas B.

Yelp
Mediocre Korean-Inspired fried chicken. The chicken itself is fine but nothing to write home about. The 10Q sandwich has a good balance of ingredients, but sometimes is too oily and hard to eat. The chicken tenders here are also good, but often also feel too oily. Service is fine. 10Q feels really gloomy on the inside. Not sure how it manages to feel like that in there, even on a sunny day. I think the only reason why 10Q is so beloved by NU students is because there isn't a better option for Asian or Asian inspired fried chicken.

Yining D.

Yelp
The best Korean fried chicken in the Evanston area. The chicken is a generous portion size and very flavorful. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Jessy K.

Yelp
10Q is good mostly because there isn't a whole lot of competition within Evanston. The wings are large which makes them a good deal. The sauces are pretty tasty. The service is fine and the people working there are nice. The restaurant interior itself is also fine, with chairs and tables being comfortable enough, but not the *most* comfortable. Everything is fine and good but not spectacular.

I was delightfully surprised how much I enjoyed this meal even though we carried it out and didn't eat it fresh. The crispiness still maintained even after a long drive home. I got "The 10q", a panko coated chicken breast sandwich that had pickled radish in it and togarashi mayo. It was a really good sandwich, pretty unique too. Great sauces and flavors, and the meat was crispy, soft, flavorful, and not dry. We got some naked wings for our kids with kangnam style sauce on the side just to try a little. Our kids LOVED the naked wings. I tried it too, and I'd get it again. They are huge too, hence "jumbo" wings. The kangnam sauce tasted like a mixture of a sweet chili sauce with something else. I'd be curious to try the wings with the sauce next time. I'll be back to try their fries, rice bowls, and more next time I'm in the area! Staff was super friendly. Pickup was super easy. We called to ordered and our food was ready for us at the counter before the time estimated. Thanks, 10Q chicken!

I've been going to 10Q for the last four years and their food is always so delicious! It definitely satisfies my cravings whenever I'm looking for some yummy Korean fast food. Their 10Q Chicken sandwich is so crispy and flavorful. I also love their KBBQ Chicken Bowl. quick and easy service and kind staff. I miss their matcha soft serve ice cream though! Hope they bring it back soon.

Frank T.

Yelp
These are pretty decent wings. Double fried and super crunchy. I liked the mild sauce better. They had a $3.99 special for 2 drumsticks. So tried it. It was decent. I think the double fried dried out the chicken a bit. The service is good they have a lot of folks working. Good for them. Only small issue out of 10 pieces 7 were drummettes. They should serve a balance of flats. I like that they don't force you to get fries and sides.

Isabelle C.

Yelp
My friends and I come here at least once a week it's laughable...10Q is just such a reliable dinner spot for good food! First of all, the food comes out almost immediately so this is a great place to go when you're in a hurry. My go to is the Fire bowl which has a delicious sauce that is perfectly spicy yet sweet. The combination of the juicy chicken with the rice and fresh salad/creamy sauce always warms my soul and heart especially when I've had a rough week. Anyways I'm obsessed with 10Q and if the constantly full store is any indication, I'm not the only one.

Yelp
BEST CHICKEN TENDERS I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE. The korean style fried chicken steals the show at 10q and man is it damn good. They also offer bowls, wings, and sandwiches. Everything is delicious but I would recommend sticking to pure chicken when you come here. The rice and salad in the bowl are underwhelming and distracts from the star of the show. The kangnam wings are essentially korean bbq wings that are sweet with a kick and are delicious. The tenders are panko breaded katsu style and are incredibly juicy. When matched with the togarashi aioli, it is the best bite of chicken you can get in the evanston area. 10Q is a tad pricey but in this day and age, we can't complain TOO much.

Yelp
The food is amazing, i cant even put into words how much i love it! My friends and I come here when we need a break from studying and the food never disappoints at all!! I always get the fire chicken bowl, the seasoning and sauce is unmatched by any other place!! The korean bbq bowl is also wonderful and hits the perfect sweet n savory taste that you need!! The service is also unmatched and I have never had a bad time here. Today the staff was more than polite! We waited about 20 minutes for food which is longer than usual but we didn't mind and they gave us fries and a soda on them which was so sweet! They were incredibly wonderful people! The ambiance is so calm and relaxed but gives you that young professional type vibe that you might crave. The restaurants interior is just wonderful with all the posters on the wall pulling you in with each look! It's wonderfully decorated !

Yelp
Decent. The greens in my bowl were crispy & rice was sticky which I liked. However the chicken had the consistency of protein that has been sitting in a warming tray all day. The provided sauce added an interesting flavor profile also. I like that they're byob also. Evanston is uncharted territory for me & while this place wasn't a complete letdown I'm convinced there's a better chicken spot somewhere around.

I was originally looking around for coffee shop but then I saw this restaurant menu and made me wanna to stop by. I love korean fried chicken so why not trying a new place. Since I am watching what I eat lately (diet) I ordered the Korean BBQ bowl cause its grilled chicken and comes wit salad and my mom got the katsu chicken bowl. Me and my mom were both hungry, thankfully food didn't take long, we got it almost right away. My mom as a hispanic lady she is not very open minded for trying new things but she actually enjoyed a lot her bowl, I also loved mine, we ate it all. In general this a great korean chicken restaurant, only one thing I didn't like it's that they don't have an option for an brown rice for those that can't do white rice. Other than the rice issue I really enjoyed this small restaurant will definitely be back.

Yelp
We ordered takeout from here yesterday. Our food was ready when they said it would be, which is always a good thing, but we were not given napkins or utensils for our carryout order (nor were we told where to get them from). My husband and I shared the Korean BBQ bowl and a regular 10Q chicken sandwich. The bowl was very forgettable. The chicken was not particularly well seasoned and the rice was soggy. I would not order it again. The chicken sandwich saved the meal, it was actually very good. The chicken was nice and crispy but not too hard, and it was well seasoned. We enjoyed the brioche bun as well as the nice aioli on top of the chicken. 4 stars for the sandwich and 2 stars for the bowl.

Peter S.

Yelp
The chicken was slightly dry, but considering it's chicken breast, anything not dry as cardboard is a win for me. I appreciated that the chicken was not overly oily or heavy. The cheese fries were a bit too much for me, but fries were super crunchy which is great if you like that style :) would recommend.

Sotto V.

Yelp
Ordered Classic Chicken sandwich...lettuce, pickles and mayo...aioli didn't have a huge punch....tasted like regular mayo. My order was called very quickly so was surprised. Bun was good, panko crust was ok but had a slight burnt taste though it did not look burnt. Chicken patty was ok but honestly the crust was not impressive. The sandwich tasted good but not enough to crave or warrant a return visit. Perhaps I should've gone with the wings. 8.49 for the sandwich...with tax, 9.63. Honestly, Popeye's Chicken sandwich is juicier, crispy, flavorful and half the price. Tables were covered with crumbs and needed to be wiped. If I go back, if nothing else nearby appeals, I'll take the wings to go.

Yelp
OMG!! In and around Evanston there are certainly many choices for chicken wings... BUT, imho there is only 1 choice!! The 10Q Kangnam Style sweet & savory Korean style wings (spicy) are absolutely delicious!! I got the 15 count last night and a large seasoned fries and it was the best I've ever tasted!! To think, I was "googling" and investigating all the surrounding wing offerings.. Fortunately, I went with 10Q. Take a look at my pic below and start using 10Q as your go to wing joint!!!

An Evanston staple. Consistently delicious - I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered.

Biggest chicken sandwich ever. They must use Costco versions of the breast. And tasty too. The fries were also good and a huge portion big enough for two people.

Barbara R.

Loved the chicken at this place. Wings were extremely crispy and fresh. The bacon ranch cheese fries were also extremely good. I recommend getting the meal and spending the extra cash to upgrade. The fries were well seasoned crispy. The chicken sandwich was also good and worth trying. The food was fantastic. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. And the service was great and friendly. Highly recommend! Will visit this 10Q Chicken again next time!

Panko style fried chicken sandwiches with generous portions at a reasonable price. One of our go-tos for nights that we don't want to cook dinner at home.

We ordered delivery. Tried the Buffalo and Nashville wings. We also got the chicken tenders, fries and spicy chicken rice bowl. The best item was the Nashville wings. Everything else was just okay.

10Q is a convenient and affordable Korean styled shop for your fix of a variety of fried chicken: sandwiches, rice bowl, and drumsticks and wings. I really enjoyed their Kangnam wings (6 pieces filled me up). The fries are also a necessity to hit the spot. I'll have to come back to try their soft served matcha ice cream.
