bb.q Chicken St. Paul is Now Open! Korea's Finest Fried Chicken 🍗 Diverse Menu Items and a Great Atmosphere- We Look Forward To Welcoming You To Our Restaurant. You'll Love Our K-Chicken!
"After a three-year run, chef John Gleason is closing Bap and Chicken this weekend. Gleason, a Korean adoptee who grew up in Minnesota, was among the first to bring Korean fried chicken to the Twin Cities restaurant scene. His restaurant, which paired kimchi-laced bibimbap bowls with baskets of crispy, twice-fried chicken, built a steady following in St. Paul’s Mac Groveland neighborhood, and hosted popular K-Pop events." - Justine Jones
"Bap and Chicken serves a whole menu of Korean fried chicken dinners, and its sandwiches are standouts. The ‘OG’ is features a classic KFC-style thigh topped with ginger slaw and spicy mayo, while the Buffalo Brie leans even further into decadence, loading the chicken with thick slices of brie cheese and drizzles of buffalo sauce." - Natalia Mendez, Eater Staff
"Bap and Chicken’s founder, John Gleason, was adopted from South Korea as a baby, and grew up in Minnesota — his journey plays an important role in the restaurant’s menu. As the name suggests, chicken is the star of the menu here. Whether it’s the four-piece twice-fried drummies or a whole chicken, each order of Korean Fried Chicken (KFC for short) comes with a house sauce. Korean barbecue is a runaway favorite, though spice lovers should opt for the dragon sauce." - Julie Zhou
"In addition to its bibimbap and fried chicken bowls, Bap and Chicken serves a whole menu of Korean fried chicken dinners. Get an eight-piece order of the jumbo drummies to share, the “KFC” boneless thighs, or a whole fried chicken. Add “Gangnam Style” onto the order and get chicken adorned with gold leaf." - Justine Jones, Joy Summers
"Plates like cheese curds with a kimchi crema or Korean fried chicken sandwich topped with American cheese represent a lovely marriage of Korean street food and hearty Minnesota comfort." - Alex Lodner
