Still one of my favorite chicken places. Wings are always juicy and hot. I still prefer to get original spicy or its old name bb wings.(I think) Fries are crispy too. If you dine in, you scan a qr code and place your order. Since im not sure how to add my rewards when i dine in, i go to the cashier and she updates it and i can use reward points from there when i check out. read more

Well... I think I miss the old bbq chicken, like from over 10ish years ago. The reasoning being that they used to use have full drumsticks , wings and thighs. I believe because of that it was juicier meat. The flavors are still good. I believe if you are more of a boneless chicken person then you will enjoy this place. Unfortunately for me I think it's a 2.5/5. Very average fried chicken. Not a bad fast casual option, I have other locations I prefer. read more

Came here for lunch today and was debating if I wanted to order the lunch menu or a la carte. Their lunch menu is $14.99 and it comes with 5 boneless wings, fries/rice and a soda. I figured if we ordered 2 lunch sets we might not be full so I ordered a medium sized honey garlic wings and bulgogi poutine. The medium comes with 16 pieces for $31.99 and poutine was $16.99. You order via QR code at the table and the server brings the food once it's ready. You can pay online as well. Make sure to close out the bill before you go or they will charge 20% tip and close you out. Our server brought us plates, water and the pickled radish. Our food did not take long to come out and our server checked in on us periodically. There were about 10 tables in the restaurant and I've never seen it get too busy. The bulgogi poutine came with tots instead of fries. The tots were all super crispy. It was loaded with kimchi, cheese, bulgogi and fried egg. It had good flavor and the egg was a little runny. I was surprised it came with a good amount of meat. The wings had a crunchy batter and the sauce was sweet but savory. The chicken was moist inside and all the prices were meaty. read more

Never disappoints, we always order original and the cheese powder. Juicy, tasty, and service with a smile. Highly recommended.

I was craving Korean fried chicken so hard and usually get take out but wanted it fresh!! I got my usual order, which is the half half with or original + secret spicy. It was very crispy and saucy. We also got cheesling fried & rose tteokboki on the side. My fave dish of the night was the rose tteokboki! So creamy & not too spicy. The service was honestly just okay- not that attentive and more casual, but the food was so bussin that it didn't really matter hahah. Plenty of seating inside and not too busy on a weekend dinner! Street parking nearby : ) read more

Excellent service... good food hot food yummy food... free utensils...roomie seating... quiet... lot of tvs... clean...good prices

One a personal mission to try as many Korean Fried Chicken spots as humanely possible. Here we've got two flavors boneless: - "Secret Sauce" in red. Your standard gochujang based sweet and spicy done right - Gangnam Style in black. These were stellar! Very garlicky with a nice Black Pepper flavor that pairs perfectly with a sweeter wing ti complement. bb.q is probably the most consistently good of the Korean chains to make it to Socal. read more

This was my first time at this particular bb.q Chicken location. When we entered, there was one party dining in for a to-go order. We were seated right away as a party of 2 and were prompted to use the QR code to place our order. Here's what we ordered: **Rose Ddeok-Bokki: Rose flavor has been popular over the years but it was my first time trying it. As a Korean-American, I prefer the original ddeok-bokki flavor but this wasn't too bad. The creaminess texture was good, no complaints. **Half & Half: Golden Original & Secret Sauce: The original wings were nice and crispy. I love b.bq's secret sauce so it did not disappoint. They added the perfect amount of sauce and had a nice balance of flavor. Ordering via QR code was extremely easy. If you accidentally charge alcohol to your tab and cannot provide ID, they were not take that off your tab. If you forget to close it out when you leave or decide to dine & dash, you will automatically be charged 20% gratuity on top of your bill. read more

Came in on a Saturday night and my first impression was: Man, it is SO LOUD in here. The big party at the table next to us were shouting across the room to each other and it just made it an unpleasant experience for me because I could barely hear the waitress and my boyfriend, who was sitting RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I understand that most restaurants can't control the volume of their customers, but I wish they could've said something to them and how their conversations about Rengoku & Naruto didn't have to be so loud as it was disturbing other people. I'm also never really fond of restaurants that make you order via a QR code on the table. Technology is not always accessible to everyone and navigating through the site to order may not be the most convenient for some folks. You also lose interactions with the staff, hindering me from tipping a lot, which doesn't benefit the waiters and waitresses. I ordered the Original Fries, Original Chicken Wings, and Soy Garlic Wings. The fries were crispy and salty; definitely my favorite dish of the ones we ordered. I absolutely hated the soy garlic wings. It was overly sweet and the skin of both chickens just didn't have the type of batter I prefer in fried chickens. We asked for a side of sauce and they gave us a tiny little container of ranch for an extra $1 (see photo below for reference). Moreover, they gave us a handful of ketchup packets for the fries and an empty container for us to squeeze the ketchup in. I found that odd because it's inconvenient for the customers! They really don't have a bottle of ketchup in the back to squeeze for us? We gotta put in labor? Parking is convenient (free lot in the back). Don't think I would return though because both the environment and the food wasn't my cup of tea. read more

It is my first time at bb.q Chicken. They have so many flavors to choose from for their wings! We picked Cheesling, Wing of Fire, and Galbi. The wings were crispy and crunchy, and the chicken meat was juicy. I heard Cheesling was what they were known for or their most popular flavor. I one hunnit percent agree! It was so delicious; I can definitely see myself with a bucket of the Cheesling. Cheesling is more like powdered cheese than melted cheese sauce, but the powdered cheese is heavily sprinkled on the chicken. The flavor was sweet, savory, and full of umami. Can bb.q do a spicy Cheesling next? The Wing of Fire exceeded my expectations. They come really close to the spicy chicken wings from OB Bear. It's a bold statement, and it will never compare. But Wings of Fire did not disappoint. I like to switch between Wings of Fire and Cheesling. I recommend one Wing of Fire first and then a Cheesling wing to cool down the tongue. It is the perfect combo. Honestly, Wing of Fire was spicy, but it wasn't super spicy. The Galbi is a good middle ground between the other two. I recommend it for bb.q first timers to try. All three flavors went really well with soju and beer, or somaek. I am down to come back and try the other flavors. Again, there were many flavors to choose from. But I honestly want more of the Cheesling and Wing of Fire please. read more

I was craving for Korean fried chicken, and happened to be in Alhambra. This was my go to Korean fried chicken place. I ordered via scanning a QR code, which was convenient. I got wings with Secret sauce and Honey Garlic sauce. Service was fast, and servers were friendly. I like the honey garlic the most, and I could not stop eating until I finished all the wings. The restaurant had multiple television that played sports and k-pop music videos. I like the music their play. There are a few parking structure closed by, and parking was easy. read more

Not sure what they do to their chicken, but each piece had a strange taste that was reminiscent of powdered latex and gloves

I enjoyed how easy it was to sit down and just qr scan the menu and order ourselves. I wish maybe the have a self serving water station so we didn't have to wait for the waiter to serve us water to start. The original spicy was really good and the honey garlic was my favorite flavor. It already comes with cup of radish for each order of wings. I always order a side of ranch. read more

We came in, ordered to-go, and decided to open our food and eat inside for a short time. A female waitress rudely asked us to leave, saying we couldn't dine in because we were "to-go" customers. She mentioned it was dinner time and the place was packed, but there were clearly multiple open tables. We were confused and ended up going outside to find a table to eat. It got worse when we realized there were no utensils included. When we came back inside to ask for forks, she still had an attitude toward us. Thanks for such an "amazing" experience. I hope you can properly train your employees. read more

My favorite location is probably the one in the Hmart Arcadia, but this one is a close second! Dropped by for some honey garlic boneless chicken and it was delicious! I feel like the Arcadia location has more crispy bits and the pieces are slightly juicier but Alhambra's is good too There's lots of seating but most people just get it to go. Service is fast and friendly - you can call ahead to order first. read more

We ordered Bulgogi Rice Bowl, Half and Half Boneless fried chicken, So Ddeok (crispy rice cake and sausage on stick). For drink, we got strawberry lychee slush and Mango Tango Slush. They also serve beer. We scanned QR code on the table and ordered our food at the cashier. All tastes good. Fried chicken was tender. So Ddeok came in 2 sticks. Bulgogi rice bowl was delicious. Many people bought togo but we sat down and enjoyed our lunch there. Parking is easy. read more

Super delicious Korean fried chicken! We tried the golden original, secret sauce, and cheesling flavors - every single one was amazing. We also got the rosé ddeok-bokki, which was rich and flavorful. If you're craving crispy, flavorful fried chicken, this is the spot. Pro tip: dip the chicken into the ddeok-bokki sauce! read more

Came here on a Wednesday night with friends and there was no wait! You order with the QR code on the table. The Hot Spicy with three fire emojis was crazy spicy so please beware if you want to order something. spicy. I thought the Golden Original was very plain and needed sauce at times. I enjoyed the Honey Garlic that was sweet, spicy, and garlicky! Service was fine as it looks like they only have one server to handle all the tables. They are attentive and very nice! read more

bb.q Chicken Alhambra - Honey Garlic Wings, Hot Spicy Wings, Golden Original Wings - Korean Near Me - Alhambra, California

I've been to bb.q Chicken Alhambra about 4 times now and it's always been a good time (with some exceptions). It turns out that I am a very picky Korean Fried Chicken eater and my personal preference is the Honey Garlic Wings. I've tried the boneless and it just doesn't hit the same. The issue with boneless is that the batter is too thick so you are eating a lot of fried batter. One order of the fried chicken - 8 pieces / small plus an appetizer is good enough for me personally. The Soy Garlic Wings is good but boneless was not. I would focus on the Honey Garlic if you don't want to risk it. I do not like Golden Original at any establishment since the fried batter taste is just too much fried batter for me. As for appetizers, I absolutely love the Rose Ddeok-Bokki. As someone who can't handle spicy, this is a creamy and tasty alternative. The Bulgogi Poutine is also delicious!! There is marinated beef and garlic chips on top of tatter tots. As you dig deeper, there's also melted cheese and kimchi which may sound weird but the whole combination really hits the spot. One last thing to note is that, this place is always relatively empty!! I have never had to wait in line for a spot and for such a tasty meal, this has got to be criminal but I'll keep it to myself since this will be my secret spot for tasty Korean fried chicken. read more

Came back for round 2! Dining in: They changed how to order food. Once you get seated, you're suppose to scan the QR code on the table to order then have the option to pay or keep the tab open. The waiter then comes by to drop off the food. Tip: *If you dine in and order through the QR code there are bonus chicken flavors that don't appear on the menu or the website menu. The downside is that they no longer offer a free side of pickled radish with your chicken order. Half chicken (Secret Sauce): Wasn't that spicy at all. It's sweet but besides that you can't really taste any other underlying flavor. I recommend ordering either half/whole chicken, the meat will be juicier than ordering the wings. 8 wings Small (Sweet and Salty Garlic Wings): These are glazed with a lighter coat of sauce. All the flavors of garlic, soy sauce, and honey shine. I highly recommend it if you want a lighter sauce and a crispier texture. Mango Cabana Cocktail: Very fruity and light. A great summer drink! On the sweet side, you can't taste the alcohol. Strawberry Soju Sour Cocktail: Not that sour, sourness is like lemonade. Drink is more on the sweeter side, you can't taste the alcohol at all. read more

BB.Q Chicken is a Korean Fried Chicken chain restaurant similar to BonChon, and this location is in Alhambra - close to USC. They have street parking in front of the location, and it's near other Asian restaurants in the area. It's a casual dining experience with open seating, and the waitress was really nice. The menu has a variety of chicken, noodle, and rice dishes with vegetarian, chicken, and beef options. The spicy galbi sauce on the boneless wings was a good balance of sweet and spicy, which paired well with rice. The lunch combo was a good portion, the radishes were a nice palate cleanser, the price was perfect to satiate one person. I'd recommend coming here if you're having a craving for Korean chicken. read more

I called and ordered to go. Ddeok-bokki add cheese Bulgogi rice bowl 8 piece wings honey garlic Sweet potato fries and ranch It came out to $63. Which is reasonable. The service was great. I made a mistake and ordered the wrong size wings...I called back (several attempts, it was during lunch). The girl was so nice and corrected the order for me. When I arrived my food had just come out. By the time I got home, everything was still hot and FRESH. The wings were excellent. I asked for all flats, but sadly they can only do mixes. It was fine though. The chicken was so good. My family and I enjoyed the meal! Will come back again!!! Oh downside is parking since they share the same plaza as Lunasia. Omg park on the street and walk. It's easier than waiting in the parking structure. read more

Really good food and the ambiance is pretty chill. I will say the service is a hit or miss at times due to different workers being at the restaurants with different shifts. I've had the regular chicken and also the boneless one which I enjoy both. The only thing I would improve is prices and check in with customers a bit more. read more

Chicken and was great!! The service was nice and quick. The place was nice and clean.

I'm writing this review. Because I used to love bbq chicken. Big wings, tasty, fresh. I supported this business for a long time. Almost every time I drive by Main Street, I get an order of their spicy wings. So the last 2 times I order, the wings got significantly smaller. They look like windstop size wings. The first time I noticed it, I thought it's the one time thing but I ordered it again in a few weeks. It's the same result. I don't think I will support this business from now on. Until I hear more positive things about it. read more

Pretty good chicken wing and excellent fries. If you're picking up the order, you def want to use the bbq chicken app when ordering vs any food because the prices are the same as if you ordered in-person and you get points. Takes about 20 min for them to make the food Soy garlic, honey garlic, and original are prob the best Staff is friendly as well. read more

Came here for a late dinner with a friend and wow I was blown away at the amount of flavor. These wings are HUGE you can share with 2-3 people depending how hungry you are. The rice cake dish is so good and if you add cheese they will add plenty. Parking is plenty with street or in the structure. It is a casual place so come comfy and come hungry :) read more

I usually love BBQ Chicken, but I am beyond disappointed in the quantity of food that I received and lack of customer service. I ordered on May 23, 2025 through delivery app. I noticed a piece of hair in my chicken, and I called in to ask about my options. The server let me know that as long as go in person, my order can be remade (just needed to call in beforehand). The next day, I called in, but a different server said that I could not get my food replaced. She took down my number and said that their manager would reach out to me. After waiting for over 6 hours, there was still no message from the manager, so I once again called in. A different server picked up and let me know that the manager would not be in until Tuesday. It is now Tuesday and I have still not received any messages. I just wanted to eat some delicious chicken, instead I was served with dissatisfaction. I hope the store can set a policy within so that in the future, customers will not be told different things from different servers. read more

Fam and I came here a little before 9 and were told the kitchen was closing in 30mins. We said it's ok we want to eat here and not take it to go. We felt so rushed that we had to ask and grab the plates ourselves. I thought you guys close at 10pm? Food was ok but we didn't get to enjoy it much. We felt being kicked out by 9:30. Will most likely not come back. Had better experience somewhere else. read more
