"The Korean-based restaurant brought along really great Korean chicken wings — bone-in and boneless — to Highland. Flavors include honey-garlic, spicy galbi, and sweet-savory cheeseling where the boneless wing is covered with cheddar cheese and mascarpone powder, among others. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

I have never had a bad meal from bb.q chicken. The wings are always cooked to perfection and the steamed rice compliments it perfectly. I love the little bucket trash you get on the table for the chicken bones, very convenient. The tteokbokki is a good meal to share. They also accept Apple Pay which is very convenient for me.

Lip smacking good fried chicken & perfect waffle fries!!! Even after being dipped in sauce, the chicken stays crispy & just tastes fresh! Full restaurant when I was there & they also have bar seating.

Don’t let the appeal of the sauces or the presentation of the food fool you. These were the most tasteless wings I’ve ever had. Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store tastes better than this. Not worn a cent.

Korean BBQ Chicken winner It's a chain but they do a great job. Nice hot and crispy Korean style BBQ chicken. They have a variety of flavors with a fair portion. You can get away with a medium for two if you add a side or two. You can have bone in or boneless. Note the boneless isn't just white meat, they include some dark which I like. Atmosphere is fine, nothing fancy, but nice. I will point out though the staff is friendly, they do encourage you to leave. I've been here a few times and it wasn't a one time thing. I find it a bit annoying but not a deal breaker.

It was a cool vibe. We got there right at opening on a Saturday. A few other parties already there. There were tvs everywhere with pop playing in the background. The tables are somewhat spread out with a bar at the front if you just want drinks. We ddeok bokki (add cheese!) and waffle fries, which had such a great kick in spice. We did half and half, which are boneless wings that are shaped like wings with dark meat..flavors classic and half secret. Classic is def better on bone in chicken/wings. The secret has heavy cinnamon flavor with a little kick, so if you don't like cinnamon, pass on it. We also got an order of galbi wings, which is described as smokey, and that's really the only the only way to explain.. good but different. The customer service was so good. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for.

We had a great time here with some wings we had never had. The cheeslings were epic and all the wings were crispy af. Friendly staff and cold beer.

The food was AMAZING 🤩 Crispy fried chicken, boneless wings that were not nuggets but rather chicken taken right off the bone and fried to perfection before dipped into delicious sauce. Their spiciest sauce was still somehow sweet and deep in flavor. Secret sauce and hot wings were the favorites from our group. In a larger group service is a little bit slower but still good.

TLDR: overall, decent chicken, but very pricey for what you get. Came here for a weekend dinner. It's sort of not the restaurants fault, but parking is terrible in the whole center. I went with the spicy chicken and an order of fries. The chicken appears to be thighs, and was well fried. the sauce was pretty good, but not revolutionary. The fries were hot and crisp. Nothing was particularly wrong with it, it just seemed rather plain, and for the price tag, I expected more than what I got. Good chicken for a bad value. 3.25/5
