The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there!

The food was ok. Got their open sando combo. It was kinda stinky in the restaurant itself and there was no paper towels in the restroom.

We came down because we were craving wings. We weren't expecting anything major, but wow did everything blow us away. The atmosphere is friendly and the music choices were perfect. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. There is a bit of wait for the food because everything is freshly fried, but I promise you the crunch is worth the wait. We got the cheese and mala wings, and although they were delicious on their own, compining the two was a bursh od flavor I'll never forget. I 100% recommend. 👌

The food here is bomb. Service was extra friendly. I would recommend this place if you have a hankering for chicken wings. Their wings beat out any place else and the flavors...yummy!

We ordered the Golden fried chicken- it was light, crispy and piping hot off the fryer. Ddeok-bboki was spicy and delicious, the Hot Spicy wings were big and juicy. All are made to order so they come out steaming hot. Service was ok, but can still be improved. My main concern is the restaurant itself. I almost turned back as soon as I stepped inside. Not a fan of the strong sewer smell. Inside temperature was quite unbearable- midway through the meal, I was sweating like I was working out. I had to break out my folding fan. IMHO it would be better to just get take out. Free 90 minute shared parking for all the other businesses in the plaza

I always come to this store for take out. The store is always very clean and the staff is always friendly and greet customers with a smile. One time I ran a bit late to pick up my order and the staff offered to switch out my soda (which was previously prepared for pick up) with a new one with ice...how thoughtful! I'll definitely continue coming to this store! 😊❤️

This chicken was so good. Made to order so expect a wait but it’s so worth it. I was a little overwhelmed with the amount of flavors but Farhan was very nice and described the flavors to help me decide. Very nice guy, offered me a cup of ice water while waiting. I will be back!

Korean fried chicken?? YES PLEASE!!!! What did we order? Spicy galbi wings, honey garlic wings, kimchi fried rice & bulgogi poutine. I honestly loved the batter of the chicken, so full of flavor. Wings were not just flavorful, also crispy on the outside and succulent and tender on the inside. As for the kimchi fried rice and bulgogi poutine, the portions were both ginormous. We were worried that the food might not be enough, but we were wrong. Def shareable! Kimchi fried rice was so flavorful & I liked the idea that they added shredded cheese, kimchi, and bulgogi on the tater tots. They tasted good with the wings and beer. Downside? I wish the chicken wings could be spicier and cheaper lol. I mean, almost $2 for a small chicken wing? Oh well. The spicy galbi wings had a nice kick but not as spicy as we were expecting. Also, the cheese on the poutine def needed to be melted. All in all, good chicken! Korean fried chicken is such a guilty pleasure. So high in calories but so worth eating!

Food was good, but the service was a letdown. No greeting, no thank you, no utensils or water--and the server's expression made it clear he didn't want to be there. Prices aren't cheap, yet the QR order defaults to a 15% tip with payment upfront, which didn't feel justified.

bb.q Chicken is always a good choice when deciding on which KFC place to eat for dinner. I went with some friends to eat and drink around the area and surprisingly this place a good hangout spot with it's spacious open seating and excellent service. We got the garlic snow and soy KFC as well as the rose tteokbeokki. Everything was great, but I wish they had a wider selection of soju or offer a somaek tower option. Overall a nice experience over here! 4/5

The chicken here is full of flavor and real crispy the way I like it but only if you eat there. If you take it to go, by the time you plate it and eat it's not so crispy. Otherwise kick ass chicken!

I luv this location ! I drive out of my way to get chicken here . The chicken pieces are bigger ! The staff are great too ! (Don was very cool today.) I got the 8pp Gangnam style boneless this time. It had a great flavor and was recommended by Don Many choices of flavors for your chicken Food came out hot and juicy as I expected . Easy in & out restaurant for a quick bite. * parking can be difficult , especially at high meal times because it's located a mini mall , corner of Rosemead/LasTunas.

Soy garlic is the best here. Wings were fried to perfection and coated nicely. Wings were meaty and definetely worth the price tag. It is a plus that their radish comes complimentary with each order!

A great chain in Korea that just does not deliver in the states. I first had bb.q chicken years ago when it opened in Alhambra. It was very underwhelming so I did not try again. Fast forward and I went to Korea where bb.q chicken was literally one of the most crispy and tasty fried chickens I have ever had. That is when I decided to give the Temple City location a try and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The service to get the chicken is very long. If you order in person, they will have a sign that will let you know 15-30 min wait so I would suggest calling in for to-gos. The wait would be okay if the chicken was crispy and tasted fresh. However, you'll be hit with a very soft crisp that makes you crave something more. Unfortunately, the long wait, mediocre taste, as well as a pretty high price has turned me off to bb.q chicken in the states which is a same because it was so good in Korea. Did not eat in, but it looks like a pretty casual chicken joint to hang out.

The food was delicious and came piping hot and fried to perfection!! First time trying their cheesling fries and it was so yummy, the cheese dust was flavorful, along with the crispy fries ? So addicting. The Gangnam was good it kinda reminded me of the Boston lobster's lobster noodles ..LOL it had like a pepper salt taste that paired well with the jalapeños. Our server was so nice and very accommodating, props to them bc they managed to give good service while being the only one working with an almost full house! My whole family enjoyed the meal.

The chickens here were made fresh so there was a bit of a wait, about 15 minutes. The batter was a bit too much on the fried chicken but the secret sauce flavor was good. We also got the cheesling fries and it had a lot of seasoning on it which I liked.

Came here for dinner and got the Gangnam Style, Honey Garlic and Spicy OG. Very yummy wings my favorite is the the Spicy Original. Has a nice crunch to it and the spice is on point! The Gangnam is good too has a sweet and mild spice. I am not a fan of the honey it's just dimensional in my opinion- it's just sweet. The workers are very attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back.

I was introduced to this place after trying tons of Korean chicken places and I love this chain the best. I was used to getting the usual of Garlic Soy but became a big fan of their OG flavor. There's something about their chicken that is the perfect amount of crispness and juiciness. I'm glad that boneless and wings are the same pricing vs other places. Both are great when trying both. I recently trade their Cheesling and the rose ttebboki and was a bit sad that I missed out on this place all these years. The restaurant is relatively small and doesn't have tons of seating. I recall seeing about 6-7 tables? With 4 chairs per table. Wings are pretty pricey nowadays but with the quality and consistency here, I would come back many times.

We just had Korea Restaurant BBQ Chicken we got half & half chicken -- secret sauce on one side, regular fried on the other -- AND fries. the secret sauce is sweet and garlicky and sticky in the best way. the chicken inside was juicy and the fries stayed crunchy the whole time. place smells amazing when you walk in, service was fast, no weird vibes, just good food. I'm 100% going back for that sauce.

I've been to bb.q chicken at the Alhambra location but my first time here. Found out that bbq didn't stand for barbecue but rather best of the best quality, pretty wild stuff. Anyways we got a bunch of wings with a bowl of rice on the side. All the wings were super crispy and really can't go wrong with any of them. Personally I really enjoyed the tenders with the cheesling sauce. I feel bb.q chicken has the best Korean chicken wings in town because of their crispiness and vast assortment of flavors that you can choose from. This location isn't too much different than the others that I've been to. Great service and overall delicious food.

This bbq Chicken location is my go-to for when I want Korean fried chicken. I have tried more than half of the menu already. The chicken is always served hot and crispy. Even though there are so many chicken flavors, my favorite is still the classic soy garlic. The honey garlic and secret sauce flavors would be next in line. Galbi is sweeter than I would prefer and Gangname Style has too much black pepper, whereas soy garlic has just the right amount of savoriness. One flavor that I do not like is cheesling, which is made with cheese dust instead of a sauce. It is too dry for me personally. Other than chicken, there is also a small selection of Korean food and side orders. I enjoy their Ddeok-Bokki, Kimchi Fried Rice, and Bulgogi Poutine. All of them are delicious, but the Rose Ddeok-Bokki is probably the best. The rice cakes are chewy and the sauce is very creamy. I have been here plenty of times and have never been disappointed with the food or the service. Did you know that the bbq in their name actually stands for "Best of the Best Quality"? Well it's true! You'll only get high quality chicken from here.

Love this establishment for their honey garlic wings and rose tteokboki. Food is fresh with friendly staff. I've enjoyed this place more than the Old Town Pasadena location. The atmosphere is pretty cozy and not too tight. It isn't a bad place to bring a couple of friends to have a drink and some wings. Also a sucker for the gachapon claw machines up front as well. Kid cries for it all the time. Forced child gambling. Haha.

I ordered the $10 combo, which included fries and 4-piece soy garlic boneless chicken. It was great, and it came with a soda. I placed the order online, and while the photo showed a canned soda, I received it in a cup when I picked it up. I also tried the tteokbokki, which was extremely spicy. Since it was a takeout order, I can't comment much on the ambiance. There's also a raffle happening at the cashier right now.

So I stopped in here based upon a review from a fellow elite and they were pretty spot on in their review of the flavor. I wanted to order the 16 piece wings and split it between two flavors. But noooo you have to buy two 8 wing servings and spend an extra 3 bucks to do that. So that's why I am NOT giving five stars and struggling with 4 due to the HIGH PRICES! I spent about $46 for 16 wings, some fries, and a lemonade. I almost fell over when he told me how much. Once I received my order, the spicy original was a bit too spicy. I should've opted for plain original just to get the taste. But it was good and crunchy and flavorful. And my fellow reviewer was right. The chicken was not greasy at all. The fries were really good too. Well seasoned with a light batter and crispy on the outside while still being soft and not dried out within. The strawberry lemonade was good and not too tart. But it was a small cup filled with ice for almost $4. But OMG! The Gangham style was delicious!! It "almost" made me forgive the pricing. I will definitely return and try other flavors when I feel like breaking the bank again. Oh...they also get a plus for their packaging. Really nice sturdy packaging with vents so that the chicken won't steam on the way home. Sorry for the pictures. I was eating in my car and it's small in there.

This was our second time visiting a store from this chain. This time we got the Red Chak Chak Whole Chicken bone out. Last time we got the golden original whole chicken bone in. Both were excellent. The chicken is lightly fried and cut into different pieces than American chicken. For the Chak Chak powder seasoning, we got it on the side and dipped the chicken in it because it is pretty spicy. It tasted like the flavor used on popcorn chicken. It was great to be able to control the level of spiciness yourself. They have fries which we tried and they were fine, but the chicken is much better with rice. Parking is not a problem. The only issue with the whole chain is that they quote you 15 min, but it consistently takes 30 min for them to prep the food (others have told us the same thing on their visits). This is not a problem, just call ahead like we did the second time and allow 30 min to get there and your food will be ready.

I have been here quite a few times in the past and wanted a late night snack as the sign and yelp says it is open until 10pm. I walked into the restaurant at 8:45pm and was immediately told that we couldn't dine in. Weird.. but ok, I don't want to ruin my night and I ordered for to go. The food was ready by 9:10pm and I asked for extra napkins - they told me there were some inside my bag already and didn't give me any extra napkins (1 piece of napkin was in there.. for 16 pieces of chicken). Fine.. whatever. I was hungry so I sat down for a minute and opened my box to eat one piece of chicken. The employee then comes to my table and aggressively starts stacking up all the chairs on my table without saying a word to me - basically kicking me out. This was at 9:15pm. The restaurant was literally still with a lot of customers waiting for their food too! It wasn't as if they were gonna close due to not having customers.. Food is always good 5/5. The customer service tonight is 0/5. If you do not want your customers to dine in after 9pm, please state that you close at 9pm and do not mislead us by saying you close at 10pm. Or at the very least clearly put a sign that says no dine in at 9pm

I work nearby and I don't know what brought me in here one day... a craving for fried chicken? I'm so glad I found this place. After Korean fried chicken esp places that make it amazingly delicious like this place... you can't get fried chicken anywhere else anymore. There's no comparison to places like Popeyes.. kfc... churches... this is next level fried chicken. Juicy hot flavorful wings.... Drooling just thinking about it. I also got their bulgogi rice bowl and YUMMMM. Needless to say I have been back 3 times within a week because I'm obsessed and they'll be seeing more of me for sure.

I got the half and half whole chicken. I got half plain and half secret sauce. The secret sauce was ones are very tasty. Not as spicy as it used to be. I gave one less star because it looks to be less chicken when they first started out. For sure the price is harder due to inflation but didn't expect the chicken to be less too. But the chicken was still good. Would recommend trying this place if you're craving for Korean bbq chicken.

I ordered food here for dinner to go. I ordered online and picked it up at the store. I did have to wait a while for the food to be ready, maybe around 20 minutes. The restaurant was quite big and decorative. They even had a photo booth and some accessories. My to-go order came in a box with a side of pickled radish. The chicken pieces were big and it was the perfect amount of sauce. I don't like my chicken wings to be too saucy, so this place had the perfect amount of sauce and flavor. I'd order from here again and would try other flavors too.
