First had this in Ktown and would go back to get it whenever I was in the city so I was really excited when it opened in Albany! The only dedicated Korean fried chicken restaurant in the area. Many flavors to choose from and I've tried about half, but my favorites are still the Golden Original and Secret Sauce. The Gold Original has a crunch, taste, and breading texture that are different from the rest. Secret Sauce is sweet and tangy and saucy. Haven't actually dined in at this location, but it's decently spacious inside. Wait is about 20min once you order. read more

I love Korean fried chicken, so this spot was an easy choice during our trip to Albany. My husband and I shared: - Maple Crunch Boneless Wings - Mala Hot Wings - Rose Ddeok-Bokki The wings were fried perfectly. I recommend going with the traditional wings over the boneless wings, but that's just my personal preference. The maple crunch wasn't quite as saucy as I prefer, but it was still good. The mala hot was very spicy, but very good. I probably wouldn't get the Ddeok-Bokki again. It was ok, but I've had better versions of this dish elsewhere. If you've never had Korean Fried Chicken, you should definitely try it! You'll never want another kind of wing again. read more

always hot and crispy. thanks to the staff who always make me feel welcomed and excited to order

I've got a new go-to place for fried chicken. In my opinion, Korean fried chicken is second to none. According to some online posts, the frying method renders out the fat in the skin. I don't know if that's accurate. I thought the skin was removed. I'll have to ask the staff next time. I do know that it was super crispy and delish. It's served with pickled turnip. BB.Q Chicken is a Korean chain that's branched out internationally. I got the golden fried chicken which is basic, but there are many different flavors including spicy and some that are slightly sweet. I saw one customer review that said now "you can feel famous" eating Korean fried chicken. That's because fried chicken is always featured in K-dramas. The spicy rice cakes with fish cakes are also sometimes featured in the shows. I ordered some. Rice cakes are popular Asian cuisine, but they're a bit heavy and very filling. I couldn't finish the order. It was too large. I liked the staff. They were friendly and helpful. The place was busy even after 2pm. I placed my order online. When I got there I still had a 10 minute wait. It seems a lot of lunch orders were placed around 2pm by customers who appeared to be mostly college or post-college age. The fried chicken was worth the wait. The restaurant is small, clean, cute and modern. There are some tables for those who want to eat-in, but it seems most of the orders were for take out. I can't wait to come back to try some of the spicy fried chicken. I think it was called Gangnam chicken. read more

Wings and fries were delicious and reasonably priced. Service was great as well. I will definitely return.

Albany finally got a Korean fried chicken joint!! I've been to BBQ chicken in the Boston area and was excited to see it pop up here. We ordered the soy garlic wings and secret spicy wings as well as fries, coleslaw, and radish. I'm definitely partial to soy garlic no matter where I go and I thought these were delicious and crispy. I didn't really like the secret spicy (not spicy and have a strange aftertaste) but my bf preferred them. Honestly their sides were not the best I've had, but nothing to complain about either. Fries were hot and fresh. Definitely satisfied my craving for Korean fried chicken, fries, and pickled white radishes. We had a small amount of leftovers and they were still good after heating up a bit in the toaster oven the next day. Wish I had an air fryer... I would recommend not ordering on grubhub because the fees are insane. We called to pick up our order and the guy working there was very friendly and our order was waiting for us on time (took about 20 minutes). read more

One of my favorite spots to come eat in central avenue. Whenever I crave some fried chicken, this is the place to go! It's a small store on the side of the road, parking is usually fairly easy to find. It's not usually busy inside as most people order takeout so they grab the food and leave. You walk up to the counter and order your food. They make Korean style fried chicken where they mix different types of Korean sauce with the chicken. But if you just want classic fried chicken with no sauce, they have that option too and sauce or not, it's still really good. I tried the half and half where they give you half classic fried chicken and other half with their secret sauce. Both of them were really good. It was crispy, full of flavor, and juicy. It took about 15 mins to get the food and took us 15 mins to finish everything. They also serve boneless chicken and ramen. I personally didn't try those yet but I might in the future and let everyone knows how those are. read more

Korean fried chicken takeout from a franchise operation that is opening it first outlet outside of NYC. They fry up the bird in a crunchy batter then coat it with one of a variety of sauces. Counter guy told me the secret spicy is closest to what you think of his Korean fried chicken, but it wasn't spicy enough. I would definitely go for the hot secret spicy. They advertise that they use olive oil in frying, which sounds great, but oddly adds a mellow note you don't expect in Korean fried chicken. Still it's pretty good stuff. Portions are priced around $13 for a small size, $23 for a large size. You can get either wings or parts of a whole chicken. The latter is a much better deal. I got I think 10 meaty chunks instead of a few bony extremities. They threw in some pleasant daikon pickle but I think that might be a grand opening special. Ambience is zippo. You just stand around waiting for your order to be ready, which takes takes longer than I think it should due to a bottleneck with the guy saucing the chicken. But overall it's A-OK and I'm adding a star for value. read more

Albany's newest fried chicken spot is a popular Korean franchise and it is awesome! So many different flavors of fried chicken to choose from and they're all tasty. The best flavors are the Gang Jeong and Secret Spicy. Both are not too spicy and have a bit of a sweet bite. Honey garlic is also excellent. The original wings were good but compared to the other wings with sauce, they seemed like they were missing more flavor. The cheeseling wings were unique and interesting with cheese powder for seasoning. Worth a try but I prefer the other flavors for more depth. The cheese sticks were mozzarella sticks, I thought they were going to be more Korean with some spice. However they were still yummy. Make sure to call ahead!! The wait can be long so calling ahead is a must. Also there is currently a 10% off soft opening discount now. read more

Ordered here multiple times and the quality was excellent every time. I tried each of the flavors but always end up going back to honey BBQ and the original. read more

I really enjoyed this meal. The wings are done when ordering, crispy and very juice. The location is clean and their customer service is perfect, very patient with my friends and I who have never been at this spot. My friend and I got different flavors so we can share . 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

First visit. Tried the golden classic and the soy garlic (M size), plus French fries. Both versions of the chicken were amazing. Fries were crispy but too greasy. Reason for one less star is the long wait. Over 45 minutes between ordering and getting food, and place was not too busy. read more

This place is pretty good! The chicken was nice and crispy despite the amount of sauce! We got the half and half whole chicken (original and secret spicy) and the medium soy garlic wings. I definitely would get all of them again. :) I ordered pick up which took about 20 mins or so? They are very busy since they just opened so keep that in mind when you place your order. I would definitely come here again for my Korean fried chicken fix! read more

It's TOO expensive! May have to stop eating here now. The food is great. But they are charging WAY too much for the small amount of chicken they give. It's honestly not worth it. It's really terrible the prices they charge for the amount of food they give. It's $30 for 10 little pieces of chicken. Food is amazingly flavored but let's be honest we are all struggling right now and it's simply not worth it. And they JUST raised their prices even higher a month ago. It's crazy. It sucks cuz I love their food. But it's becoming beyond too expensive ESPECIALLY with the fact that there are other options out there with good food at a FRACTION of the price! read more

I originally tried Korean fried chicken in SoCal (where I'm from) and it was delicious. There's another subpar place I tried it at in upstate New York that made me even give up looking. Sometimes I just feel like some regions don't have good non-American food. Then I found this place. InSANEly good. I actually think it's better than my favorite Southern California place. It's also more expensive. I think the price deters me from going more often. Order ahead and pick up to go. You have to pay for parking in a side lot (which is fine - it's cheap), but I'm more comfortable just taking it home and eating there. We made the mistake of ordering and waiting once but the wait was 45 minutes because they have so many door dash and grubhub orders that come through. So I wish it was a little less pricey, and I also wish their hottest option (wings of fire) was more spicy. I can taste the heat and the flavor is good, but I want something that'll really burn and they don't have that. Other than that, I love this place. read more

Finally a Korean wing place in Albany! Service was very good. I ended up getting spicy, crispy wings, onion wings, sweet potato fries, kimchi fried rice and rice cake. Service was very fast, I would recommend this to anyone that wants a quick meal. If you order takeout, I would suggest calling in your order, it's more expensive if you order on grub hub read more

There are 3 different chickens- -Wings are like Buffalo wings- small and crispy! -Boneless are good and obviously boneless but it's bigger than small nuggets, slightly like chicken fingers -whole chicken had bigger pieces like a kfc box with wings, thighs, Breast and all- not as crispy at the wings but more juicy! All the sauces are great! read more

I ordered and paid via their website and picked up. I got the maple crunch bone in wings (limited time flavor) and the cheeseling boneless wings with pickled radish. It takes almost an hour for it to be ready so plan accordingly. The food is fresh, fabulously crispy and has generous sauce on it. The only downside to this place is the location. It's a tiny place just before downtown Albany and amidst almost no parking. I drove around the block 3 times looking for a spot. There is a public lot a block away but you have to pay and since i wasn't dining it, I didnt want to pay to get takeout. But other than that, it's excellent. Once you have Korean fried chicken, it's hard to settle for anything else. read more

Amazing food. My friends and I ordered from this restaurant last night for a party and I ate about 30% of our almost 200 dollar order. The next morning I warmed up the pieces I was able to snag after the party and I've been sucking on the bones for hours. I'd give this restaurant 40 stars if I can. My roommate and I are about to place another order as we speak. I left nothing on those bones and I'd do it again. 45050474/10 this restaurant is amazing. We ordered golden original, hot spicy, soy garlic, and honey garlic. Hot Spicy was my favorite so I'd recommend it to everyone. They have a customer for life. read more

The first time I have vet heard of this brand was from watching K drama "Love crashing on you" or something like that. I know the name sounds corny but it's actually a good show. It's def a big chain restaurant in Korea. They have crispy fried chicken with good flavors. I usually get the original chicken and spicy rice cake dish. Once awhile I would order their spicy Galbi wings too. Chicken can be juicy sometimes but not all the time, depends on when you order it I guess. In conclusion, I like their chicken and will order again read more

At $23.95 for a large order of boneless wings, we were most put off by the value. Perhaps our order got shorted but the quality of their food is offset by the cost. We might go back to see what a small order looks like. I would not recommend the large. read more

Korean Fried Chicken, the "real KFC" as I like to call it, is finally here in the Capital Region! bb.q Chicken is a nation-wide chain, similar to Bon Chon, another well-known Korean fried chicken chain. For people who lived in or visit NYC, LA, or most other major cities, this is probably not a big deal. But here in Smallbany, this is a huge deal! I just had my first order--the classic "Soy Garlic Chicken"--and it's was great! It's a garlicky, sweet soy sauce glazed on to crispy fried chicken. Everything is made to order--this is not Popeyes. Orders generally take 30-40 minutes (even when not busy), so order ahead. Having just opened a few days ago, it's a little hectic with the surge of customers and pickup orders. For the uninitiated, it may seem a little pricey, and you might be confused as to what the big deal is, but trust me, give it a shot! The flavors are something that you've not likely not had before, especially up here in the Culinary Siberia. In addition to many different flavors and preparations of chicken, there are also a few other Korean staple and modern "street food" dishes. I'm looking forward to trying them all! Tip: It's really best to eat them right away. Between the glaze and steam inside the takeout box, it loses that special light and crispy crunchiness that's the hallmark of Korean fried chicken. When you get takeout, it will help a bit if you allow the steam to escape, by not tying the plastic carryout bag closed while in transit. Even soggy, it's still good, though! read more

I have heard of Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) before but never have experienced it until now. However, I have heard of fried chicken and love it so when my wife suggested we come here I assumed it would be awesome. Well, you know what they say about assumptions. We ordered three things from their menu which primarily consisted of various sauces on fried chicken. We split a "half and half" which was plain fried chicken on one side, and "Secret Hot" on the other. I also ordered the "Gang Jeong wings" which were looked great online. The online menu showed that some thing were available in boneless which is what I picked, but when calling in the order we were told that it wasn't available. Speaking of which, I could hear my wife trying to place the order and she kept repeating our simple order over and over. Either they couldn't hear, weren't listening, or English wasn't their primary language. We went to pick up the food 45 minutes later and drove it home. Their little shop had a half-dozen people in line or waiting to order so the turnover was quick. When we got home and opened it all up, I have to admit it looked great. Packed in cardboard boxes instead of plastic, I think that choice prevented the chicken from steaming. That was a good move. The plain fried chicken was cut up into smallish pieces and tasted like, well, plain fried chicken. If you have ever had fried chicken from the other KFC right out of the oil it was like that. Very good, but the small pieces made it sometimes difficult to deduce where the bones were. If they kept it in the normal sized shapes (breast, leg, etc.) I think it would have been easier. The "secret hot" was true to its name... if it was at all spicy or hot, it was a secret to me. I like spicy food but this wasn't it. It was sweet though, and a bit garlicy. If you walk around mall food courts and try the free samples the Chinese places give you (sesame chicken, General Tso chicken, etc.) it was like that. Very sweet, a bit tasty in small doses, but not hot. My Gang Jeong wings were also sweet but the sauce was different. I couldn't place the seasoning, but I felt like it too was missing something. There were small pieces of hot peppers and they were hot, which was a nice respite from the otherwise saccharine taste. I like sweet barbeque chicken. I like fried chicken. I liked the combinations of flavors. But, it was expensive fried chicken and I don't think it lived up to the hype. Some of their other flavors might be fun to try but I doubt they will prove to be a better value. I have been to BWW and had chicken wings with similar sauces that tasted good, if not better, than here. If you can't make your own sweet/spicy barbeque sauce or don't want to fry your own chicken come here. But I think it is over-rated. read more

The absolute best wings I've ever had. I refuse to go anywhere else. Workers were nice, place looked clean. Definitely will be back!

This place is Great. There. I said it. Done. The Golden Original is excellent. If they had only that, I'd tell you to go and get your fried chicken here. But there is more. Much more. We had four medium sized servings for four of us. We are big eaters. There is chicken left for later! Excellent. Can't wait to eat this when it's cold out of the frig... The Secret Spicy was my favorite, but the others we had were great, also. The Galbi wings were my wife's favorite. I'll always order the Gang-Nam style, they rival Buffalo Wings for sure. And, I'm a wings guy. I'm looking forward to when they need a bigger place and move closer to Wolf Road, somewhere on Central Ave, so they'll be closer, and parking will be easier. Great fried chicken options. read more

I've had bbq chicken from NYC, and Boston and I'd have to say this spot wasn't as good as the aforementioned , but I also went right before closing so it is understandable (and after I just had dinner at cheesecake factory).

Real Korean fried chicken. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. Delicious. 5 star would recommend.

If you love chicken and you're looking for something a little different, you should try BB.Q Chicken. This chicken has its own style and its special frying process makes the chicken super crispy yet juicy. I've only been to this location twice, but it's been good every time. The honey garlic is the best I think. Always get a little extra because you can wrap these suckers in a little foil and warm them up in the oven and it tastes amazing even the second time around. Because if the frying process, it takes a little longer than regular fried chicken, so I called ahead and it was ready to go when I got there. Check it out! read more

Some of the best fast food wings you can get, in my opinion. I got the spiciest option, and it was so flavorful and good! Also, great service from the individuals there. Took maybe 15 minutes while ordering at the front. Absolutely recommend! read more

Really good KFC! My friends and I opted to eat in. The location is rather small, but they don't overstuff it with tables and so it didn't feel cramped. We did have to wait for quite a while for our food, but they were fulfilling a ton of takeout/delivery orders, and they don't have a huge staff, so it was understandable. If you only get one sauce, make it the Secret Spicy sauce. Big flavor, and just enough heat to excite your taste buds, not burn them. Definitely worth revisiting. read more
