bb.q Chicken Lakewood

The chicken was delicious! I'll definitely be back! 2 issues. Very little portions as far as the side orders and I wish I didn't see the fly while grabbing my food at the counter.

I can honestly say this barbecue chicken was perfection from the first bite to the last. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked all the way through without losing any of its natural flavor. The smoky aroma hit me before I even took a bite, and the sweet-tangy BBQ sauce clung to every piece like a delicious glaze. It had just the right balance of char on the outside for that satisfying grill taste, without being overdone. Every bite was a mix of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet, making it clear that whoever prepared it knows their way around a grill. Paired with a side of fresh cornbread and coleslaw, it was the kind of meal that makes you want to come back for seconds… and thirds. If you’re looking for barbecue chicken that’s flavorful, tender, and cooked to absolute perfection, this is it.

We experienced wonderful customer service from the moment we walked in. A lovely young lady greeted us immediately and even offered some great ideas for customizing our flavors. Then brought our food and drinks right to our table. Be prepared for a wait; the food takes a long time to cook.

Wow!!!! I can’t say enough good things about this place. The girl that took my order and served me tonight was so kind and helpful! The food took about 20 mins for dine in but it was WELL worth the wait! As a first timer visiting in Long Beach, I’ve added this place to my list of favorites to come back and revisit! I got the hot mala chicken wings and some steamed rice, the pickled radish was a nice touch to cool off from the heat!

We liked our chicken and kimchi fried rice. We had some spicy original wings, and some sweet and salty garlic tenders. Both were really good. I want to come back and try more flavors. My only complaint was that the food was ready about 15 mins after our pickup time. So, be patient.

Had the honey garlic, secret sauce, and spicy original. Absolutely delicious, and was more than enough for several people. The kimchi fried rice and ddeok-bokki are great additions as well.

Amazing Korean fried! One of the best I’ve had in SoCal. I had boneless chicken in cheeseling and honey garlic flavors. They were crispy and very flavorful. Totally remind me of Korean fried chicken in Asia. The flavor is different from Americanized Korean fried chicken. I love that they give white pickle radish as a side for the chicken. In Asia, it’s pretty common but it’s very rare here in LA/OC. The radish was very good. I recommend with any chicken dish!

I ordered on the App. I got notified that the order is confirmed and ready. When I get to the restaurant, they haven’t even started making it. The person at the checkout keeps saying oh I don’t know why the receipt is not printing. And I had to wait for another 30 minutes for my order. What’s the point of ordering ahead if I still need to wait at the restaurant?! Completely unacceptable! To update. I have been waiting at the restaurant for over 30 mins now. I still haven’t got the order. My order came out 3mins ago and it turned out that’s not the flavor I ordered. And so the person bring it back in and told me 2 more mins. And later they told me actually 6 more mins. And I’m still waiting at the moment. Update: it turned out to be more than an hour! AN HOUR! Even if I didn’t order ahead it wouldn’t take that much time to make a single serving of small size wings!

Went in tonight and got a small order of wings and a side of fries. The wings were perfect!!! The fries were different this time around. They weren't fried the same way as normal. They weren't crispy and they were cold. Not sure what happened but I hope it gets back to normal.

The food here at bb.q is always delicious and fresh. Easy to order online and picked it up. And the service was excellent!

What's not to like about Korean wings? Especially when you can get kimchi fried rice and pickled radishes. We got two flavors. Some original spicy wings, and sweet and salty garlic boneless tenders. Both were really good, I not sure I had a favorite. The spicy original had a slow burning peppery flavor, and the tenders had some serious fried garlic flavor. Lots of flavors to choose from, so I will be back. We wanted to try Geeko, but for some reason it's closed on weekends. But bb.q didn't disappoint.

Really good . Very delicious. This is my 100th times Ordering. Staff is very nice and courteous. Ambiance is super clean and homey.

The boneless chicken wings are so yummy and crunchy! I had the honey garlic, along with the Kimchee Fried Rice. Hubby ordered the Gangnam style wings. Our orders also came with sides of diced radish. Definitely coming back again!

Went to get a quick meal of Korean fried chicken at Bb.q Chicken. Parking was easy to find. When entering Bb.q Chicken, it was clean with no customers inside. The decoration was nice. The person at the front skipped me and greeted the person who came a few minutes after me, and told him where his order was. After taking my order, it was ready in about 20 minutes. The batter of the fried chicken was crispy and with the seasoning was delicious. The seasoning of the fried chicken was Golden Original and Gangnam style.

Stopped in to check it out. Was told I could not eat in the restaurant, take out only. Ordered 2 different wings. Both were pretty good, nothing crazy good or bad. Restaurant was clean in the dining area and maybe that's why they didn't want anyone in there towards the end of the night.

The original chicken didn't have any flavor like it did when first opened up. Also the French fries are awful now. Again your fries were very tasty when you all opened up now taste like something that you grabbed out of freezer at home. No seasoning.

First time trying the wings. Flavor was good but needs more sauce. A little bit dry. Little bit pricey for wings too.

Bb.q Chicken is probably my favorite Korean chicken wing spot right now. My husband and I usually get a ton of the soy garlic wings. It is a light and crispy coating with the perfect not-too-strong or salty flavor. It even tastes good the next day air fried if you have leftovers. There are a ton of flavor options, and you can do a whole chicken, boneless, or regular wings. There are other food options as well- the rose ddeok-bokki is solid! I have never dined in but there is a quick and easy online ordering for pickup option. Orders do come with a small cup of radish but is an extra dollar for another cup if you need to add a little more like I typically do.

I stopped by here and ordered small galbi boneless wings and sweet potato fries. It was basically empty on a Tuesday night (~8:20, 40 minutes before closing) but they told me that it would take 20 minutes to complete the order. I would highly recommend placing an order ahead of time to avoid this. Inside the store the cell reception was bad (at least for Verizon) but they did have a TV on playing some K-Pop music videos. My food came in at exactly 20 minutes after I ordered. They gave me a ton of french fries. The picture does not do justice. The fries could've been an entire meal. The fries were pretty flat and wide, but didn't have that much flavor. The "wings" were pretty big and had an aroma of sesame oil. They were very crunchy and satisfying. Overall the food tastes good but it is a bit pricey and takes a while to cook. They have a lot of different flavors and menu items that I would like to one day try.

What?!* Best wing* place around! I can't get enough of the wings here; they're so flavorful. Everything about the wings here hits the spot. It's my go-to when I don't feel like cooking.

$5 online promo for email survey participation bb.q Chicken is a Korean fried chicken restaurant. I'm quite familiar with the Cerritos location, so upon receiving a $5 online discount for taking an email survey, I wanted to check this place out to see how they stack up to Cerritos. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=V-nKlntgoaJ3KKBROwgo-Q&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Calamari- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nq5nXVGjQfkoxRIRCvdyIg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA In my mind, I thought the calamari would be breaded in tempura. Alas, it was breaded in the same fashion as fish sticks. In addition, the calamari was accompanied by two packets of ketchup. I had to ask for some hot sauce to kick things up a notch. I found the calamari lacking, and glad I didn't pay full price. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hTjIhPT28T0J4fXhyR8pvw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. I ordered online, so my order was ready to go upon arrival. A good amount of seating, with parking via a private lot. bb.q Chicken is located across from the Lakewood Country Club. Next time, I'll stick to the chicken. bb.q Chicken is a great chicken shop, but when straying a bit with their calamari, I was less than enthralled. I'll keep that in mind the next time I stop by.

We were really excited to try this place out, since we've heard great things about the friend chicken! The ambiance was very calm; there's two tvs with random shows / news on and great taste in music running in the back. The server was very nice and accommodating, which is why I'm leaving 2 stars. It did take 20-25 minutes for us to receive our order so we had extremely high expectations. We spent around $14.99 for the small (8pc) honey garlic boneless & $12.99 the boneless combo with honey garlic boneless, steamed rice and a side of pickled radish w/ a drink. Honestly, the combo wasn't a bad deal and the serving size was alright. The first one or two pieces were great - it had flavor but the chicken was alright. However, the more we ate, the more we noticed it was 95% fried batter and barely any chicken. We didn't understand until we saw the other low reviews regarding the boneless, specifically the lunch combo. In addition, our rice wasn't the white rice we were expecting - it looked old. It's unfortunate how things turned out but both me and my significant other had really bad stomach aches, most likely from how much fried batter we consumed. We started eating on 11/28/23 at 2:40pm -- 4 hours later and we still feel sick. I saw in an older review that someone had gotten food poisoning before so that may be the case :(

Craving a taste of Korea's finest fried chicken? Look no further than bb.q Chicken in Lakewood! These chicken wings are the definition of crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Our top picks? The Gangnam Style and Spicy Galbi wings! But honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And don't even get me started on the Rose' Ddeok-Bokki - it's a flavor explosion! Dip a chicken wing into that sauce, and you're in for a taste bud party! What we tried: - Honey Garlic Wings - Golden Original boneless wings - Spicy Galbi wings - Gangnam Style wings - Rose' Ddeok-Bokki - Cheese Sticks - Fried Dumplings - Cheesling Fries Love the wall art!! Great service!!

The best k bbq in the area! Service is always great! It's fast and easy to grab and go! I love that There's always a kdrama and K-pop music on while I wait for my food!

Ordered the spicy bb wings and gangnam chicken was overcooked and dry the flavors were off with barely any sauce some of the wings came burnt would not recommend this location if you want a good experience please go to the Cerritos location I have went to this place over three times hoping it would get better but the quality remains the same.

Amazing Korean fried! One of the best I've had in SoCal. I had boneless chicken in cheeseling and honey garlic flavors. They were crispy and very flavorful. Totally remind me of Korean fried chicken in Asia. The flavor is different from Americanized Korean fried chicken. I love that they give white pickle radish as a side for the chicken. In Asia, it's pretty common but it's very rare here in LA/OC. The radish was very good. I recommend with any chicken dish!

Not only are the employees super friendly but very welcoming and helpful. The food is amazing and they keep the place very clean.

This was my first time trying bb.q chicken! I came on a weekday night and there was plenty of parking in the lot. It was pretty quiet and clean inside, with lots of tables. I ordered the honey garlic wings as it seems like the most popular flavor. As I opened the box, I was surprised how big they were! It was so good, it was crispy and the sauce tasted very tangy. Definitely worth it for the price. I live a little further but would come back again to try the other wing flavors.

As seen in popular K-dramas, BBQ chicken is a popular Korean fried chicken joint serving tasty fried chicken and more! I tried their new Black pepper whole chicken, spicy galbi wings, cheeseling fries, and the Mala ddeokbokki. The black pepper flavor was definitely my favorite. The chicken was perfectly crispy, chicken was tender, and the black pepper flavor was simple yet delicious. I also enjoyed the Mala ddeokkboki a lot. It was pretty spicy which I loved, and the torched melted cheese was the perfect topping with the egg. The spicy galbi wings were sweet and saucy but I definitely preferred the dry rub black pepper flavor. I was also intrigued by their unique cheesling fries which had a sweet cheese flavor to it with a drizzle of a sweet sauce. Overall I enjoyed everything here and would definitely recommend trying them out. The workers here are very friendly and helpful with giving recommendations. There are plenty of tables available to dine in as well as parking in the plaza.

Ordered an 8-piece in person and waited 27 minutes, while online orders kept flying out. I get it, but walk-ins should have some sort of priority. The food was solid, but the wait was frustrating. Damn.

The worst BBQ chicken location I ever been to. I ordered the lunch special with white rice and soy garlic chicken with diet coke. The chicken was not crispy although it took 20 minutes to cook. They do not seem to be using the same or similar breading for the lunch special chicken or this location just sucks. The cypress or buena park locations are way better. Can't forget about the rice too. The rice was so freaking old that it was turning yellow. Absolutely dry and disgusting. By the look of it, the rice was cooked at least two days ago. Also the cashier didn't seem to care for his job. I don't expect anything out of a cashier at a fried chicken place, but the dude just doesn't want to be there. No emotions, professionalism or whatsoever.

I want to try all of their flavors one day and today I took down two more. The soy garlic wings were heavy on the batter but still crispy after being coated in the sweet, garlicky sauce. I'm usually not a fan of boneless but I tried it out with the red chak chak and surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. The cuts of meat were thinner but still juicy on the inside. The Red Chak Chak is a new flavor but it's essentially the same as the Golden Original with a sprinkle of red pepper powder. My favorite side dish is undoubtedly the rose ddeok-bokki. The cheesiness balances out the spicy kick of the sauce and it also serves as a great dip for the chicken. It was my first time trying cheesling so I was shocked when it turned out to be sweet. The Cheesling fries were also a good side but I prefer savory fries over sweet. The workers who helped us were so kind and I even got to meet the owners who run this location. There was plenty of seating compared to my local bb.q chicken so I found it nice and peaceful to dine inside.

bb.Q Chicken is flawless with their flavors. The Honey Garlic wings pack a garlic punch, eclipsed only by the crunch of the breading. Soy Garlic is always part of our order, so much so that my wife and I order extra sauce. The restaurant is always clean and bright, the employees friendly and helpful. Definitely a regular go to for delicious Korean-style chicken wings. Go get some!

Food is amazing, slightly overpriced but worth it. The wait can be long, unless you are eating in or have time I recommend calling in your order. Take out will not disappoint, they will hand you a fresh piping hot order. Ambience is great, clean restaurant and nice staff.

Amazon tteokbokki. I like how cheesy it is and cooked fresh. I like most of the chicken except the original. It's a big bland for my liking. The pickled radish needs improvement as it's a bit bitter. But other than that I will still come back for the tteokbokki.

Chicken taste good. Not worth $60 for 24 wings, fries and onion rings. You guys are charging $1.99 for ranch???? Ranch should come with the wings. 1 maybe? I'd come here again if I were desperate for some Korean wings and had no other option, but I doubt it. Wings were great but not worth the steep price.

The rose topokki is full of so much flavor. The consistency is perfect and has that perfect amount of chew. This place is my go to for wings. Every time I show this place to someone, they fall in love. Its a must try! P.s honey soy garlic

Just tried this place on a whim and boy was the chicken unexpectedly good. We got the honey garlic boneless chicken with fries and what set it apart is it really has GARLIC and honey on the chicken not just garlic powder. Since it was so crispy, I'll have to ask next time if the boneless wings have skin on them because that's a no-no for me, but if they are just battered it's 5/5. The ambiance is a typical fast-food casual style in a safe usually busy business strip that a lot of locals frequent.

This bbq chicken located in Lakewood. My favorites are their Honey Garlic and Spicy Galbi flavors boneless, and their yummy Rosé Ddeok-Bokki with cheese (a K-food delight) tastes also very yummy. It's the perfect meal for any time, any day. Service is super fast, indoor is neat with cool vibes. I had a great time, definitely will come back!

This place is located in a small plaza. There's parking right outside and some street parking close by. Only indoor seating available for groups of 2-4. There is a one person bathroom inside, very clean and well kept. The chicken is made to order so it took about 20 minutes, i would recommend calling ahead if you're in a hurry. I got the small honey garlic wings and a side of fries. chicken was perfectly crisp and juicy and the flavor was sweet and tangy. Also, the wings came with a side of pickled raddish! Fries complimented the wings pretty well. Hot, crispy, and lightly seasoned. staff was professional and took time to answer questions I had about the menu.

We love the BBQ chicken chain but this location has the worst service. We've ordered TOGO a few times here and the wait has always been terrible. Today was no exception. We placed a phone order at 730pm, they said it would be 15-20 min wait. We arrived at 745pm, the food did not come out until 820pm. No one checked on us to let us know why it was delayed. Food was already room temperature when we got it. No apologies no nothing. They need to work on their customer service! Not coming back to this location.

Love the Korean chicken from this spot. We tired two different versions; one was the boneless Soy Garlic and the other was Secret Sauce wings. Both were good but I like wings over boneless wings. Ready for try the other flavors. My only wish is that they have a wider variety of side dishes, but I get it why they don't.

It's okay. Got over $100 worth of food but it was just okay, don't really think it was worth it. Love the portions, they're pretty huge, but it wasn't really anything special.

I just bought an eight piece boneless original golden and it has a bad, almost sour taste. Gave 3 pieces a taste, just in case it was just one bad one. I have ordered the same exact item at 3 other bb.q chicken locations and none of them tasted like this. I used to cook for a living so my guess is either the coating went bad or the chicken did. It wasn't the oil. Just hoping I don't get sick now! Upset as I'm out $15 (for the chicken) and now I have to cook something to go along with the rice I bought- after a 9 1/2 hour workday and a 45 minute drive home . Just added yesterday's rice to reheat- OMGoodnesslook at the difference in color-that's not even my rice, that's from 99 Ranch Market! BB.Q on the left-it looks so old-yikes!

One of my favorite places to get my Korean fried chicken fix! BB.Q Chicken has some of the best fried chickens imo. Their batter isn't overcoated like other places and the meat is always juicy/tender. They have 3 different options (whole/boneless/wings) and sizes (S/M/L) - I typically get 2 small orders of wings (8pcs @ $14.99) in 2 different flavors. My all-time favorite flavors are the Soy Garlic, Golden Original, Spicy Golden Original, and the Secret Spicy. I also order a side of their Mala Ddukbokki ($13.99). If you like SPICY, I highly recommend giving this a try! It's sooo addicting and I get it EVERY time. Don't forget to add mozzarella cheese on top - makes the world of a difference! On my most recent, I decided to try something new and got their Cheesling Fries ($6.99). Honestly, I didn't know what to expect but this was GOOD. The fries were coated with this sweet, powdery cheese drizzled with sweet chili sauce. Honestly, I'm not sure how to explain it, and let's be honest...it sounds kinda weird. BUT IT WORKS. Maybe it's the weird combination of mixing sweet and cheese together, but I was hooked. It's really a "you-love-it-or-you-don't" kinda situation lol Overall, great food with great service. Our food came out pretty quickly and all within a few minutes of each other. Love this location!

This is the best Korean fried chicken I have had yet. I have had rhe honey garlic, and original both were super good. They don't offer combo's outside of the lunchtime specials. Most items are a la Carte, however, you get a lot of chicken, and the sides are plentiful (except for the rice). It's a small serving. I would suggest ordering in advance because the food is made to order, fresh and hot! They have a dining area open for seating. Cool ambiance for dine in. I took away 1 star due to unwelcoming customer service. The guy taking orders seemed like he was annoyed and didn't want to be bothered with questions about the menu/ordering. Outside of that, the food was good and I plan on adding this spot to my rotation.

Never had fried chicken be so consistently flavorful and crispy. Absolutely amazing food! Friendly service as well, definitely coming back.

This Korean chicken is no joke Friends!! We have been wanting to try them out and finally just drove over. Lunch time was busy and they do cook to order...so heads up. I should have called it in. Anywhere. There is Korean chicken, I am curious. It is Def not Karage because the flavors take it to another level. We ordered Honey Garlic boneless-9/10 When I say big boneless,,,I mean these things are big. When I say crunchy... I mean crunchy. The sauce was TO DIE FOR. 15 99 FOR 8 IS PRICEY!!! However, they are very big. Def shareable if you get fries. Which puts the price at 22.00 for 8 boneless and an order of fries. Wings of Fire-8/10 - Hot and very good. But 16.99 for 8 is a little crazy. That should be a meal with a side. IMO. Flavorwise, they were tasty and had a hard kick...so be prepared!!! Fries 6/10- good but nothing amazing for 5 or 6 dollars per serving. They should be amazing. I also ordered white rice 10/10- lolol. It's rice. Our bill was right around 50.00. For 2 orders of wings, fries, rice and a drink... hmmm, I just don't know if it was worth it. Everything was delicious, but if you are on a summer budget.... I will let you decide

Pricy but good Korean fried chicken, different flavors Clean and great service Okay for a quick bite, not date appropriate

If you've watched Crash Landing on You, you've must have tried bb.q chicken at least once by now! I tried the new location in Lakewood and it's definitely one of the better spots since all the chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and especially crispy! The secret sauce wings are now my go to since they weren't overly spicy and were a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The rosé tteokbokki was so cheesy and creamy, which hit the spot! They also have sides like mozzarella sticks and sweet potato fries.

Chicken was great and worth the wait... but $5.99 for cold fries was a big bummer! We ordered four different flavors of wings and had to wait a bit longer for the 4th one, then were handed our order. I specifically asked if the fries were still hot, as they were sitting there on the rack for a while. Was told they were hot, but they were barely even warm. Yuck.

The korean chicken here is fantastic! Super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I wish they had more side options, but the ones they do have are incredible.

**Review from Hell** If I could give BBQ Chicken negative stars, I would. This place is a health hazard masquerading as a restaurant. From the moment I stepped in, I was assaulted by the overwhelming stench of rotting meat and sour milk. The floors were sticky with what I hope was just spilled soda, and the air was thick with a nauseating haze of burnt oil. The staff seemed to be doing their best impression of a zombie apocalypse survivor--utterly disinterested and utterly unhelpful. I should've known better when the "chef" stumbled out of the kitchen covered in grease and looking like he hadn't bathed in a week. I ordered the fried chicken, but what I received was an abomination. The chicken was raw, covered in a slimy coating that I can only guess was meant to be batter. It tasted rancid, and after a single bite, I was hit with a wave of nausea so intense I nearly lost consciousness. I couldn't even choke down a full piece before I was doubled over in the bathroom, praying for mercy. The sides were even worse--a congealed mess of what seemed like canned vegetables, and the mac and cheese tasted like a science experiment gone wrong. And don't get me started on the coleslaw, which was so bitter and sour that it could be used as a weapon. To top it all off, I saw rats scurrying behind the counter. I'm not sure if they were part of the ambiance or just freeloaders. Either way, this place should be shut down immediately. If you value your health, your sanity, and your taste buds, do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from BBQ Chicken.

We tried this restaurant on a whim. I am a fanatic about all things Asian culture. I absolutely love all of the nuances behind their culture, so when I find a restaurant that caters to something I know is a trend in their culture I like to try it. We tried a cornucopia of different, boneless and bone in chicken wings. The chicken was crunchy, flavorful, and delicious. We also tried some kind of fries with a sauce pour over it, and they were absolutely fabulous. The fries were almost addictive because they were so good .This place is definitely a new favorite of ours now, I must warn you that the smell going into the establishment is a little weird at times, but the food is worth the little annoyance of the weird odor.

Omg this has to be the best Korean fried chicken! I've tried the competition such as kyochon and bonchon and it's even better than them! I like how crispy and tangy the chicken flavor is while also being moist and delicious with every bite. It's so easy to eat them so quickly too. There's no weird msg flavor or bad after taste. Every bite is so yummy and so good! I love the honey soy garlic flavor and the spicy ones with a kick too. Can't wait to eat them again! Plus the location is very new and clean. They also deliver through doordash with quick service.

The wings are soo good and extra crispy. These are not small wings either, like wing stop. These are delicious.

About to try this place for the first time. Got here 10 mins before closing. The employees are still in there but they said they're already close. There's another customer that was turned away too. If the closing time is advertised at 9:00pm it should be 9:00pm..
