Is it okay to give a 5 star review based on one quarantine visit?? I don't really care. When my boyfriend worked in Evanston, he came here at least once a week, and when he left that job, he said the thing he would miss most is 10Q. So naturally, when we were starving in Evanston after a 10 mile bike ride, we stopped here for a Fire bowl. It sooooo lived up to the hype my bf made. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, the veggies were great, the rice was salty and fluffy, and the sauce had me licking the bowl. We weren't even halfway done eating when I started scheming ways to get a 10Q in Lincoln Park...step 1 may or may not be writing a 5 star Yelp review read more

One of my favorite places to get a chicken sandwich in the area. I've been coming here since they opened and their food is consistently good. They also have really good wings and rice bowls. I highly recommend their food! read more

Got a bowl with balance: flavor in protein of chicken, balanced with serving of greens and a serving of rice. Very filling and a good balance. I hope that a person can eventually add some black beans to get a really over the top meal. Great balance, even without the black beans read more

We got 10Q to feed our crew on a student film set and it was unbelievable!!! I swear I sat in my car with the food for an extra 5 minutes before bringing it in because it smelled like heaven. The real sleeper are the sauces here, they bring an 8/10 right up to an 11! Thanks so much 10Q from the whole Mixed Signals team! read more

Just came from there friendly service, has a newly installed square checkout register (fancy)! There's plenty of space and nice and chilly (AC works great). Plenty of condiments on the side including sriracha and even hand wipes after eating the wings. We ordered the 10Q Chicken sandwich, side of fries, and 10 Kangnam Style jumbo wings. The 10Q had awesome mayo sauce and the bun complimented the chicken well. Fries have the extra crunchy taste. And the Kangnam Wings two flavors either spicy or regular, I chose spicy. It wasn't too spicy but extremely flavorful, I should've ordered rice with it. Edit: be mindful this is in downtown Evanston so difficult parking is expected. Not sure if there's free parking around but we used the parking meters, thankfully where I parked someone left 44 minutes! read more

Came here for lunch with my girlfriend. She ordered the Korean chicken bowl and I got the 10q chicken sandwich with fries. Firstly the fries were really good. Salted well and really crispy. My sandwich was good as well but nothing special in my opinion. I only got a bite of the Korean bbq bowl but it tasted good so next time I'll definitely get that. Overall a nice lunch/quick dinner spot. Not too expensive either and decently filling. read more

stop 3 of my chicken tour was a little underwhelming, mostly because someone told me that they liked these chicken sandwiches better than the popeyes chicken sandwiches, but so far i haven't found an actual contender for best chicken sandwich over popeyes. I got the 10Q sandwich as well as the korean bbq bowl. I thought the chicken in the bowl was marinated very well, and I liked it better than the sandwich. The 10Q had interesting taste combinations, with sweet and sour radish and sauce with the savory and fatty chicken and brioche bread. The price for a chicken sandwich left me wishing that I was at popeyes. The fries that came on the side were extremely tasty though read more

10Q Chicken - The 10Q, Korean BBQ - Chicken Shop Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

10Q is my absolute hot new favorite restaurant and it's not just me, most of my coworkers are also addicted to this place. I and several others I know have frequented this spot for weekday lunches, sometimes more than once a week. My favorite on the menu is undisputedly the chili buffalo chicken sandwich that comes out hot, crispy and so flavorful, I could have it everyday. The chicken is tender and juicy, the brioche bun perfectly buttered and the jalapeños adding that extra tinge of flavor. It is not super hot for my spicy palate but definitely very well seasoned and flavorful. Amongst the bowls, I recommend getting the fire bowl. The bowls come with rice, chicken and salad. The salad comes with a sweet dressing that I also thought was pretty good. If you are the wings kinda person, then the Korean style wings are your go to. The service has always been efficient, consistent and easy. I highly recommend 10Q chicken! read more

Soooooo SO good!! Everything I tried was delicious!! The wings are pricey, the pricing before the increase was more reasonable however still worth it since they taste amazing!! I wanted to try this spot since I heard it's the same owners from Bop N grill. It is definitely a place worth returning too. I highly recommend trying the wings!!!! read more

10Q Chicken - Korean and Kangnan style wings, chicken katsu bowl, Korean bbq bowl and fries are depicted. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

I'm a big fan of bopNgrill, the popular Korean fusion burger joint featured on "Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives". So when I heard they opened a fried chicken restaurant I had to check it out, and of course it did not disappoint. This had to be the best spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had. The chicken patty was enormous and had a great bun to meat ratio. I loved the solid kick from the chili buffalo sauce and the pickled jalapenos. And of course if you add garlic parmesan aioli to anything, it makes it instantly better. The side of bacon ranch cheese fries was legit too. Keeping up with the Korean fusion, they also serve up chicken wings, chicken rice bowls, and matcha soft serve. If you're a fan of bopNgrill or any Asian fusion for that matter, definitely drop by 10Q Chicken. read more

10Q Chicken - Chili Buffalo Chicken Sandwich // Panko fried chicken breast, chili buffalo drizzle, pickled jalapeños, garlic parmesan aioli, brioche bun - Chicken Shop Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Barely open a week Saturday of Labor Day weekend...so keeping this in mind. Ordered a 5 pc kangnam chicken mild ($6), 3 pc tender with garlic parm aioli ($6), and cheese fries/drink add on ($4.50). [regular fry/drink would have been $3.50] The 5 pc turned into a 6 pc in our box which was nice since there were 3 of us. (equiv of full three wings, minus tips). Not dripping in sauce so makes for easier hand eating. Tenders were large enough, that I was ok with just one given that we had other things to eat. Tenders seem to be thicker cut and even better than BnG experience, but maybe that's just because I don't have them side by side. Really great to have the option to right size our portions (prices just scale up with your portion size) without penalizing those who go small, rather than medium or large. Having cheese fry/drink add on is a nod to what has kept BnG our fav. We had to order to go due to being in a rush - not my usual to review food at its best. But while eating in the car (not driving) - both wings and tenders stayed crisp. Drink was self-service from soda fountain Coke products. read more

I was really excited to try this place ever since I heard it was opening. The friendly smiles and pleasant conversation of the staff paired excellently with the amazing food. The gentleman who took my order reviewed the menu because I had never have the food before. He gave me the most popular and his favorite, which all sounded amazing. I chose neither of the two LOL. I went for the chili buffalo chicken sandwich and cheese fries. Let's just say this is that "slap your mama" type of chicken sandwich. I would go as far as saying it's better than Roost. The asian-inspired flavors and aioli is mind-blowing. The jalapenos have just enough Heat. And yes the cheese fries amazeballs. Sadly I have begun to think that my taste buds hated me but thank you so much for making them smile. It's been a long time since I've given the five stars. read more

Yay!! Wings in Evanston! We got 10 Kangnam-style and 10 chili buffalo (both mild) for 3 people. It is about $22, and is not too pricey when you split it. Both sauces were delicious! (But I think I have a slight preference for the chili buffalo). Unfortunately, they do not provide radish with the wings, so you'd have to pay extra for it. The meat tastes good, and the wings are a good size. They have chicken sandwiches, chicken bowls, and matcha ice cream that I really do want to try in the future. Would definitely come back! read more

Best place ever!!! Food is always so fresh and good! Never fails!! All the workers are soooo nice efficient and polite! Especially ricardo always makes our visit a GREAT one! read more

Found a metal wire on my chicken wing. I order here almost weekly. Definitely want them to work on whatever they are doing because that is contaminating food and can be dangerous if eaten. read more

10Q Chicken - A chicken wing with a metal wire is what I found today in my food from 10Q. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Loooove this place. I've been living here for about 3.5 years now and my main complaint was having a good, fast chicken place that has good chicken sandwiches in addition to other chicken plates. I was thinking something along the lines of Chick-Fil-A or Buffalo Wild Wings but this place is perfect! I had their buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and it was AMAZING. The sauce is sooo good, the chicken is crispy and cooked to perfection and the fries are crispy and so flavorful. The staff was also very helpful and attentive and the inside of the place is very modern and clean. My only complaint was I got the matcha soft serve and it wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. It was a little on the watery side. 5/5 recommend this place! read more

I'm glad I got to check out 10Q, my brother had mentioned it a few times and I finally got to go and it was worth it! I got their chicken sandwich, Korean chicken wings and their cheese fries! The chicken sandwich was delicious, the bun was perfect and the chicken was cooked to a perfect crisp. I also enjoyed the chicken wings, I got spicy but it was more on the mild side but overall the taste was delicious! The cheese fries I should have asked for the cheese on the side however the French fries were thick cut and pretty yummy! Overall I enjoyed this place and would go again!! read more

Great high-end fast food option. Awesome chicken sandwiches but the bowls are severely lacking. Would not consider this a healthy Etown alternative to a salad spot. I crave 10Q when I'm feeling a solid, quality fried chicken sandwich, but would not consider this spot a sit down with more options worth exploring. Definitely recommend the chicken sandwiches though if that's your thing! read more

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

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. read more

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! read more

Had lunch here with a group. This is a very basic, sparse restaurant. My food was very good. I had the Korean chicken wings. Others in the group complained of too dry of chicken. Parking was available on the street. Some meters didn't work. I'd eat here again if in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

I love how this place makes everything fresh to order. It is not a sit down restaurant if that's the kind of restaurant you're looking for. You'll order at the counter and an electronic device will notify you when your order is ready to be picked up at the counter. I ordered the Kangnam (bone-in) wings in mild and a side order of fries. The wings were deliciously uniquely flavored and crispy. Everything was pretty reasonably priced! I would definitely come back if I am in the area again! I wish they would open one in the city! read more

Sometimes a feeling strikes. When it does, that feeling must be fulfilled. That feeling is a base desire to consume a fried chicken sandwich. It struck me on a chilly fall evening after a lengthy night class. I was consumed from my toes to the hairs of my head with a burning need for a crispy chicken atop a buttery bun. While some Evanstonians may be Chicken Shack advocates, I'm a Korean fried chicken lover. The minute class ended, I briskly power walked over to 10Q to devour some food. My companions and I ordered fried chicken sandwiches accompanied with french fries. The chicken sandwiches were pure heaven. The buns were reminiscent of a potato roll. The texture was soft yet well constructed- gently hugging the chicken from both sides. The fried chicken had a panko style crust that provided an excellent crunch. The accouterments were crisp lettuce, tomato, and creamy mayonnaise. I requested hot sauce and honey to go with my chicken and they complemented the chicken perfectly. Within seconds, my chicken sandwich was gone and I munched on perfectly flavored fries dunked in ketchup. Everytime I walk by 10Q, I can feel the temptation! read more

This place has the best fried chicken wings I have ever had. I highly recommend the Kangnam Style wings. Everything is fried to perfection. The meat is juicy. The sauce is plentiful. Also, the fries are so good. Crispy. God tier. I will come here when I graduate. I will bring everyone I know. I'll come back to Evanston in 20 years just for this place. read more

Great chicken and well priced. Even on a Friday night, we've gotten our order very quickly. Highly reccomend

I really like the variety of restaurant options in Evanston - I really like that 10Q opened up. KFC (KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN) is always something that should be on craving list. The extra crispness of the chicken is something that I salivate over. I liked the modern mimimalist/industrial design of the interior. Upon entry you're immediately in the queue to order along the wall. The menu is not overly complicated which is always something that I look for because -they need to essentially do a few things right. They fry chicken... Sandwiches, Chicken Rice bowls, and Wings. We were just looking at 10Q as a snack this time around to tie us over so we ordered a 10 piece kangnam style wings and also a Panko Chicken Bowl for kiddies to try out. Well - after eating that I thought I needed to come on back and try out the spiced up wings - as another table indicated that the spice added a nice kick to it. The Chicken Rice bowl was nothing too fancy to write about - its what I'd expect a panko crusted chicken to be like. The presentation of the chicken wings was nice - it was sprinkled with Sesame seeds and an ever so light crust of the twice fried chicken wings. I thought the pieces were an appropriate size as well. Value wise - its ok for Korean Fried Chicken. Metered Parking is available along the streets in Evanston. read more

Currently on a chicken eating spree. 40 minute commute, thank god it didn't disappoint. The Food - I ordered Jumbo Kangnam wings/10Q sandwich/Fries/Matcha Soft Serve 10Q sandwich highlight of the meal - Wasn't over battered, mayo was good flavor, brioche bun can't go wrong. Picked radish was a nice add. Easily makes my top 3 sandwich list. Jumbo Kangnam Wings - Not really jumbo but the flavor makes up for it. Tastes like a sweet soy flavor, I got the wings spicy and it did have a little kick to it +1. Fries - I like. Good way to clean up the extra sauce from the wings. Matcha Soft Serve - Flavor wasn't there. Would not get again. Service - Quick/thorough order at the counter. Pick up ya own food, pick up after yourself. Decor/Ambiance - Lots of seating, tables are movable and can house 8+. Minimal / modern decor. IG worthy. Pricing - Reasonable $8 per sandwich $2-3 sides. Parking - Plenty of meter parking in the area. Overall, would recommend. Sandwich good, wings good, Matcha soft serve no bueno; I think they can do better. Will be back again. Oh and very clean restrooms. read more

10Q Chicken donated to our Northwestern student film set, Mixed Signals. The food was incredible. Everyone on set was so grateful and it really lifted spirits. I'm going to be visiting 10Q a lot in the future! read more

Great chicken at a great value. Love the Fire bowl and the panko tenders--couldn't make them better myself!

Our go-to spot in Evanston for a quick dinner. We go probably every other week. We always get the katsu bowl and the Korean bbq bowl. The sauces for both are delicious. And the people at the counter taking orders are always friendly and helpful. Love 10Q! read more

This is one of the best chicken places in town! The quality and amount of food you get for the price is amazing. Anything on their menu is good, you genuinely can't go wrong with any of it!

I got the 10Q chicken sandwich and it was pretty good. Nothing spectacular about it. I would still get it again, but maybe I'll try the classic or some of the wings instead. I did absolutely love the fries though. read more

Good place for a quick meal if you are looking for good food, and fast. We wandered in on a weekday night and the place was packed with only one table left. The menu is simple and straight forward with bowls, sandwiches, wings, tenders, some sides and soft serve ice cream. I ordered the Korean BBQ chicken. The food came hot and the flavor was great, loved the smokey taste of the chicken and the sweet poppyseed dressing for the greens. Quick efficient service, clean facilities and in a great neighborhood as well. read more

For Korean food and fried chicken, 10Q is a good place to stop in for a reasonably priced meal. I brought my mom here while we were walking around the neighborhood. The food was pretty good and affordable -- spicy here is not very spicy for my palate, however. The restaurant is more like a place to grab a quick bite than a place to have an experience, so I will keep the review short. I did like that the tables advertised reclaimed materials. read more

Found this hidden treasure in Evanston on a night my boyfriend and I couldn't make up our minds on what to have for dinner. I had the chicken katsu with salad and white rice while on the other hand, my boyfriend got the bbq chicken with salad and rice. We also had a side of fries which was also amazing. We are french fries fiends! The sauce from the chicken katsu really hit the spot. They also have matcha soft serve, chicken sandwiches, and chicken wings I wished I had room to try. We look forward to coming back again for those! read more

So glad we took the drive to Evanston and ran into this place. I know it is going to be Asian fusion but loving boiled/steamed marinated Chinese as myself, the chicken rice bowl was a perfect quick dinner. The fried chicken sandwich was really delicious too. We will definitely be coming back. read more

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. read more

The Korean BBQ chicken was well marinated and cooked well but the rice on which the chicken was sad. It's a little too mushy even for a short grain rice. What annoyed me more was a lack of spoons, a lack of chilli sauce (oh yes there was a bottle that someone monopolised) and no ketchup around. Someone did ask for some ketchup and they had it somewhere. Don't think I'll get any of the bowls again but maybe I'll come back to try the wings. The people around with wings seem fairly happy. read more
