PROs- lots of fried chicken options , loved the interiors , lots of space to sit , nice quantity . CONs - slightly pricey , parking Was craving for Korean fried chicken and found this place ... saw 4.0 stars in google and wanted to check this place . Loved the interiors . Lots of space to sit and eat .. there is also space in 2nd floor to eat ! Lots of space inside ... service was ok. Took them about 10-15 mins for the food to get ready . They gave about 8 pieces of wings and it was sumptuous . Was about 15-16$ .. was slightly expensive . I wish they sold less pieces for less money .. say - 5 piece for 10$ .. One good thing was - they had multiple options for wings . Less spicy , medium and more spicy ones . We got spicy Galbi and it was so good . Hot spicy sauce was good too. Soy garlic was less spicy ones :). Bulgogi rice bowl was good too. No parking outside . Will surely come back and try more stuff .. read more

Food is good and service is good but they charge way more than the legal amount of 8.75% for tax (my $20 meal had tax in the $2-3 range) Maybe it's just them incorrectly incorporating credit fees into the "tax" still illegal. read more

This location of bb.q Chicken was fine. I've had the fried chicken wings (obviously) once before, and they were pretty good, with a decent flavor and lots of crunch. The tteokbokki (pictured) was a bit underwhelming however. It was very heavy, smothered in cheese, and had virtually no spice or distinct flavor to speak of. The rice cakes were also a bit too soft/mushy for my liking. Maybe it's my fault for ordering a dish that isn't wings from a wing place, but I was hoping for more with this particular option. Guess I'll stick to wings next time I find myself back here! read more

bb.q Chicken 3rd Ave - Tteokbokki - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This place is good for quick bites and take outs. Love their chicken and sauces always. Giving it 3 stars because last two times we ordered food from here the bowls were cold and not heated well. The bowls are good i guess it was just a rush in service. There is plenty place to dine in. read more

Have been to the Koreatown location only with pre-cooked chicken boxes in the warmer, ready to be picked up vs. cooked-to-order at this location, which I prefer. I did an online order when I was about 10min away and it was ready when we got there. Soy garlic Chicken wings are cooked well, skin is still crunchy, strong garlicky flavor, but for me, a bit too much sauce. I guess I can specify less sauce next time. Would return to try their spicy chicken. I previously had the bbq signature rice bowl. Was a big bowl of rice, chicken, egg but I didn't really like the Jamaican jerk sauce. I would prefer one of their usual korean flavors but not available in the bowl choices. There is seating available. Located in a busy area of Third ave., street parking. read more

I often go to the location at 34th street and the meat is always well cooked. I was near this location and decided to buy some pieces, when I got home it was barely cooked, and the meat was dark brown, chicken doesn't look like that, and ok if one looks brownish I can turn my head to the side, but all of them!! I ordered 16 pieces and had to throw them all away. The pictures don't do justice for how brownish and undercooked the meat was. read more

Chicken was so overcooked I thought it was breast meat. I ordered wings. Fries were soggy as a mash potato because stored in a bag and stapled close. Whoever is the chef should be jailed. read more

bb.q Chicken 3rd Ave - A chicken wing. Dry piece of shit. - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Honestly, 4 stars for the food and decor. Very good and the wings are much larger and incredibly juicy compared to other chains like Bonchon. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the fries. The cheese tteokbokki was pretty good, but the egg was slightly odd looking and there weren't as many rice cakes as I would've liked, but still very tasty. The interior is very fresh looking, but the layout is honestly not very conducive towards what I assume is a mostly takeout business. Knocked it down one star because of the long wait. I think there must be some issues on the back end. We had originally came during the Super Bowl, and they were about an hour and a half behind. That's alright, totally understandable, but my friend and I still wanted chicken so we came a few days later. It still took 30 minutes to get our order! Not sure if that's typical, but it happened during both of our visits so maybe a coincidence or maybe a pattern.... read more

always fresh and tasty. Service can't be beat. Best value for your buck. Eat at Manhattan location 3 or 4 times a week. Never disappointed

The food tastes really good! I was satisfied during my lunch break!! I heard about this place on social media and I had to try it out. I'll definitely recommend to others. Thank you! read more

Excellent option for quick lunch . Fresh ,delicious (multiple choices) Korean chicken. Got the spicy (indeed ,but not overwhelming) and couple of kimchi's as sides . Space a bit small for indoor dining but still convenient. Recommended! read more

Man I love kbbq korean fried chicken. When I saw a location opened up near me, I thought "now I don't need to go all the way to ktown to get my fix." In terms of convience, speed and flavor variety they can't be beat. If you live in kips bay and always wanted to try korean fried chicken but never had a chance now is the time. Needless to say; the crunch on korean fried chicken is amazing. Extra crispy and crunchy. So crunchy in fact the premade ready to go orders stay nice and crispy. So crunchy that my day old leftovers that I let sit in the fridge over night came out of the oven still crunchy (just not as much as when it was fresh). I kid you not. Yes, you read correct; your leftovers will still be crunchy. My personal favorite flavors are the honey garlic (if you like garlic a lot like me it's a must try. "40 cloves of garlic isn't enough" people this one is for you.) and the kalbi (korean sweet bbq rib flavor). Honey garlic flavor tastes more like garlic than honey. It has some subtle hints of sweetness and I would say is probably more savoury. The kalbi is pretty sweet. I'm assuming they use the rib marinade as the sauce. It's going to sound strange but if you like ribs and fried chicken the kalbi flavor is like both rolled into one. I can't really speak much about service. It's always been a casual, quick grab and go for me. You got your boneless option and the classic bone in. I'm lazy so I always go for boneless here. Anyway if you like crunchy, crispy, flavorful fried chicken and great leftovers give this place a try. read more

bb.q Chicken 3rd Ave - Still crunchy leftover fried chicken - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I will say this place has good vibes. Music playing ( a little loud for lunch) they also have 5 tvs, 3 were on programming. Bar table seating downstairs and regular table seating upstairs. Each table equipped with sanitizer for your safety and cleanliness. They have bar on tap which I find interesting. I wonder what this place is like 8- midnight. It must be lit! Food is good. Rice bowls are huge so you get your monies worth. My issue with their bowls are that they put the rice on the bottom and smother it and completely cover it which makes it hard to get to the rice and sometimes the flavors can be overpowering. Next I want to try the Kimchi fried rice. But they have chicken too!! Boneless, bone-in and wings! And over 16 flavors! I had their wings before, so many choices but they actually coat the wongs read more

Bbq chicken at 3rd Av is my favorite location. It's near the workplace. It has a big dine-in space. And the orders are fast! My all-time fav is the Cheeseling! read more

whenever I come here the food always taste good and they also give nice portions with the boneless chickens

Crispy yet juicy and full of flavor. Love Korean fried chicken!!! Interior is clean and inviting with lots of seating. Would return as a regular customer. read more

Be me, 24M amateur fat@$$ that has been craving fried chicken for the past two weeks. I share my cravings with a coworker and they share the same feeling. We notice a BBQ chicken nearby. I've eaten from this chain before during my early years into puberty. I don't know if it was something in the sauce or if my hormones were bursting in reaction to the chicken but I was loving it. I would vacuum the meat off the bones and then suck the sauce that was embedded in-between the ridges of my fingerprints. But like any first love... the passion died off. The days inbetween my BBQ chicken visits have grown to weeks, to months, and then to years. As Korean Fried Chicken became more trendy, other flashier shops with crispier, spicier, more flavorful chicken started popping up. I started eating from there... and eventually forgot that BBQ chicken even existed. Fast forward 10+ years: I am frozen, staring at the google maps where the name BBQ chicken popped up. I had by chance bumped into a past lover that I had lost touch with, and the world seemed to move on around me while we were locked into a gaze. Lunch time hits and I make my way to the restaurant. I am nervous but my legs speed up in anticipation. As I approach, I cant contain my smile, I couldn't wait to catch up and see what has been going on through the years with the franchise. I open the door and my excited smile changes to a nervous smile. My old love, throughout the years, has changed into something unrecognizable. Their menu had changed drastically which I can understand as keeping up with the times but, it felt inauthentic and just a mediocre attempt at following fried chicken trends... But I still had hope, "outside appearance might have changed, but surely their flavors will deliver." That's what I thought... As soon as I picked up the bag from my order, there was this strong plasticy scent that emitted from the box. The walk back to the office felt 3 times as long as it did getting to the restaurant. As I get back to my desk, I timidly unbox the chicken to start eating... Visually, its what you would expect saucy Korean Fried Chicken to look like. But that plastic scent only grew stronger as I exposed the chicken. I take my first bite. My tongue as well as the inside of my mouth burn, not out of sensation but out of a chemical reaction to what I can guess is causing the plasticy scent. My teeth pierce the overly thick, overly heavy layer of fried batter to reach the meat. The only flavor I can focus on is the plastic, its in my mouth, its in my throat, I taste and smell it when I breathe. I wonder where it all went so wrong. I had revered BBQ Chicken so much in memory, but seeing it in reality left nothing but disappointment. a couple weeks later, I got a message from my old high school sweetheart asking to meet up. We were inseparable when we were together, but that changed after we were accepted to different colleges on the opposite sides of the country. At first I was ecstatic to catch up, but how will we live up to the memories of each other that we have idealized. I didn't want either one of us to be an unrecognizable disappointment(like BBQ Chicken). I ended up not replying to her. read more

Ohhhh so good! Very different concept of ordering your food. You first walk in to a display with different variety of choices. You're able to pick out your own choices while the display still keeps the food warm! Then you just ring at the cash register. This location is specifically my favorite as the other locations are not so great in my opinion. Worth every penny! read more

Solid 4, great comfort food, wings are the best always crispy and yummy. Love the soy garlic the most, also the Caribbean summer sauce is lovely too. Friendly staffs and good vibes. Good deal on drinks and happy hour available too. read more

I would say this bb.q is fresher on average than the bb.q in Koreatown. It is usually pretty empty so seats are much more easy to come by. They don't have the chicken already prepared in the public space so you order it and they will take about 7 to 10 minutes. I'm not sure how much they make it to order but it definitely tastes fresher. If you get the chicken with rice, they give you better and more eggs than the one in ktown. Only complaint is that it's not as crispy as the one in ktown for some reason. I'm wondering if maybe they don't fry it as long as the one in ktown. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars read more

I personally love eating here for a quick grab and go option, but there's also plenty of seating for you to sit and eat as well. I saw that the reviews were complaining about the fried chicken crispiness and it tasting like left overs but I think they fixed this issue by making it made-to-order which I much rather prefer. Everything is fresh and crispy and they have a lot of flavors. They have fun Korean drinks (alc too) and music playing in the back. They're pretty fast and friendly as well read more

Love bb.q chicken but this location had absolutely terrible service. It took me 30 minutes to get a singular order of wings to go when there was one other person in the establishment and 5 workers just lounging and two of em fooling around with eachother, if you know what I mean. I'm not expecting no Michelin service but bruh they really got me heated on the first day of pride too just go to the k town location if you're craving bb.q read more

Good for the chain to expand. This location is not as crispy as the one at 34th. They give a lot more meat and less batter. The one at 34th might be crispier but some pieces don't have any chicken in them at all. So if I had to pick between the two this new location is pretty good. The chicken pieces are huge. One downside is that you don't really get to have all the flavors you want since there aren't as many customers at this location. Staff is nice. Not the overly selling type and also not rude. Just right. The store is also huge. There's a second floor as well. read more

I ordered the whole chicken with secret sauce that one order lasted me all night it was really worth the money i wanna try the bowl tho next time read more

I've had really good Korean fried chicken before and hoped this place would be just as good. Unfortunately, the chicken wasn't crispy and the sauces weren't very good. It was disappointing. Won't be ordering again. read more

Service friendly, delicious wings. Eat in if you can for the best crispy saucy wing experience and unusual cocktails.

Bb wings were spicier than usual. Chicken was very crunchy but had too much breading. Wish they had used chicken with more meat!

Just not what it used to be. They didnt have the half chicken. It was ok but juicy delicious like it used to be.
