    As good as other BB.Q locations! After shopping and walking around the Aloha Stadium swap meet, we were hungry. Yes there are vendors there, but we wanted fried chicken. Yelp spotted two KFC places nearby and BB.Q was one of them. I wanted to try the other place, but a cousin confirmed which was better and said, "We're going to BB.Q Chicken!" Perfect! It's located within a little shopping corner, and had plenty of parking spaces. The location itself was fairly small I'd say, with only about six or seven tables. But overall, the place appeared clean. Ready to order, ready to grub! Even though I knew the menu in my head, I kept staring up at the menu board to see if they've got anything different. I've never seen the Red Chak Chak Wings which apparently is heavily flavored with black peppers and extra chili. Nor have I tried the Butter Crunch Wings, which also seemed interesting. The party I was with were from Texas, and they've never had BB.Q before. So I ordered the regulars: The Golden Original ($19.99), Half and Half Wings ($34.99) with Honey Garlic and Spicy Galbi. And man were they lovin' it! Can beat the original or the honey garlic if you've never been. The wings were deep fried well enough, hot with every bite, tender inside, and crunchy on the outside like it should be! Service seemed OK, helpful, nothing to complain about. Our mouths overlooked service. We ordered, we ate, we were satisfied!

    We got a plate here of their secret sauce chicken! Excellent as usual! Staff were friendly and food was served promptly. There's ample seats and table to dine in. Parking is alright and not too crowded. This place is one of our favorite chicken places on Oahu!

    BB.Q Chicken in Aiea next to Aiea Bowl is nice. It's the classic Korean Fried Chicken franchise (the best KFC franchise) and is still so good and reliable! I came in and ordered Togo, there was ample seating and it was so clean on the inside! A bonus, AIR CONDITIONING They also offer MILITARY DISCOUNT! Yayyy

    Honey Garlic Boneless Party Pack 40
    Angeleena M.

    I have had this place recommended to me so many times and I now understand why. The service is nothing other than fast and thorough, I ordered a 40 pack of boneless wings and fries for a small superbowl get together and it was perfect for the occasion. The honey garlic is by far my favorite and the hot spicy is delicious despite burning my mouth off. They were hot and crispy. I did order and pick up and upon walking into the restaurant it was clear it was not a place to sit down and enjoy a meal due to the many many orders they were lining up for pick up and the tables pushed to the side but that could have been due to the superbowl and a high fluctuation of demand. But if you are looking for a place to pick up wings for yourself or for a party I would recommend this place ten times over.

    Full Honey Garlic Wings Plate and Full Hot Spicy Wings Plate
    Chanel A.

    I was craving Korean fried chicken and found myself at bb.q Chicken, located in Aiea Shopping Center, right next to Aiea Bowl. We arrived right when it opened at 11 on a weekday and there was only one person ahead of us in line. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and lively with large TVs playing upbeat K-Pop songs and dramas. We were greated by a friendly worker and ordered a full honey garlic wings plate and a full hot spicy wings plate. Each plate came with 6 pieces of wings, furikake rice, mandoo, and mac salad or coleslaw. We waited a quick 20 minutes and recieved our chicken hot and fresh. Both dishes were delicious with sweet and savory crispy chicken. Bring wet wipes if you can! Our stomachs were full but our hands were sticky. I definitely plan on returning to try their other chicken flavors!

    Honey Garlic Wings
    Erica Marie G.

    My coworkers got the full 18 pieces of Honey Garlic Wings for $35.59 And it was my first time trying this and its so amazing Even after its been sitting in the microwave at work, its still so crispy, juicy and so flavorful. I can't to take my family there and let them all try it.

    Stop by and got my favorite chuck chuck. Staff provided great customer service and the food was spectacular as always.

    Half and half - Honey garlic crispy chicken wings / black pepper chicken wings
    Rod U.

    Let's get the last of the sub par ratings out of the way before some Holiday cheer! The largest Korean Fried Chicken franchised chain in the world whose Hawaii location makes the best tasting colon cleanse EVER! Read on and you'll get it. Trying this locations KFC instantly made me wonder how can Korean people in Korea not look like us obese Americans? Looked at pics of bb.q KFC in Malaysia, Singapore and vids direct from South Korea and the chicken didn't look the same. Case in point, the "honey garlic", a type of batter coated crispy chicken, different.. Was this coated multiple times and deep fried repeatedly until the well brined, juicy chicken part inside was cooked? The outer layer is so thick, it doubles the size of the wingettes and drumettes to the point you can't tell them apart. Yes the honey garlic coating is tasty but the coating, even while being crisp, retains so much oil it isn't possible to eat more than two pieces. The "black pepper", more traditional dry dredged, is plenty juicy with a huge amount of black pepper kicking up the mala heat but has been deep fried in oil not to temp. Greasy. Really tasty KFC but so oily that just four pieces resulted in the same number of uhhhh cleanses. Too bad because this could have been a real winner.

    Secret sauced chicken sandwich
    Hailley O.

    This place is worth the hype! I was craving a chicken sandwich so I ordered the secret sauced chicken sandwich combo with the fries and a drink. The sandwich was a good size and the chicken was so moist and flavorful! The secret sauce was slightly sweet with a kick to it. The chicken went well with the coleslaw and the bun was nice and soft. The fries that came with the sandwich had a crispy coating to it which was really tasty. The chicken sandwich combo meal came out to be around $12 which I thought was a good price for a quality meal. Make sure to call ahead because it will take awhile for the order to be done. Bb.q Chicken is now one of my go to places!

First off, their sandwiches are thickkk! Thick slices of homemade bread, tons of fresh meats, and veggies. This place has been on my hubby's places to try list and we finally checked it off the list! We went with their Turkey Avocado Bacon sandwich. He was so impressed when he saw the worker slicing the turkey fresh onto the sandwich. This sandwich is pretty basic and includes turkey, avocado spread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, & mayo. You can add on more veggies at no charge such as cucumber, onion, oregano, & even hot mustard. The sandwich itself was good but for $13.99 I wish they had fresh avocado or added more avocado spread because I didn't taste any of it. Second, the bread was really soft with a bit of a chewy crust. It's made fresh daily so you know it's quality. Overall, it was a pretty good sandwich but nothing special. Maybe we have to try a different sandwich with different meats next time!

Then the girl at the register asked him if he wanted it, and apparently, he told her yes, so she charged me for it. I didn't even know until later, after I finished ordering, that I noticed what was being charged for a bag of chips. So I quickly told her that we don't want the bag of chips and put it back on the rack. Other than that, the sandwiches were fine. They seemed less thick and full than the other location, but maybe it was just ours that day.

I'm amazed how fast they were when making sandwiches for me and my parents. The workers were attentive and swift. There was an assembly line of them making the sandwiches in house. It was towards the end of the day so they ran out of most of their choice's of bread , tomato, and sprouts (complimentary toppings) which is no biggie. Ordered three "Vinny" which is like an Italian sandwich with wheat bread (which all they had that night) my choice of seasonings, oil and red onions. It was well made sandwich wrapped nicely, no spills since I had some oils, however I prefer to try that sandwich with a different bread next time and wish there was a little more protein. Inside the shop, was very clean, but bright like being in a yellow blue submarine that's trying to be tropical. Overall, it's a friendly atmosphere with the walls giving "military on tropical island vibes" lol I mean it is near base and they do have some variety of vickies and utz chips at the front of store. Will be back next time to try other options.

Until then, I'll definitely be back for another Earl's Cheesesteak. Solid food, clean atmosphere, and great service. Keep it up, and please consider bringing a chopped cheese to the island!
