I did a takeout order through the app. They only gave me 2 cups of radish for my 32 wings - I should ask for more next time. Half and half wings: for some reason, the app doesn't have the spicy galbi flavor as an option here. Secret sauce was a good flavor but the breading was soggy, and had so much more sauce compared to the soy garlic which was crispy. read more

Solid Korean fried wings with Friendly Service This Astoria spot offers some pretty decent BBQ chicken. The honey garlic wings were a standout - sweet, tangy, and perfectly crispy. The original spice was also good, with a nice kick of heat. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The place was clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus. read more

bb.q Chicken Astoria - Original Spice, Honey Garlic, and fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Astoria, New York

Came in after a big lunch, so I didn't eat much, but I took some home and can comment on the atmosphere, service, and chicken wings. Ordered the honey garlic. Chicken was hot and fresh, and the sauce was sweet and tasty. Chicken wings came with Korean pickled radish, small cubes of it, to accompany the chicken. It was good refreshing little bites for a little crunch and pickle like side for the chicken. Dad ordered a beer. Music was loud, but good songs like Coldplay Yellow, and other more modern hits. It's kind of a sports bar setting here. A little loud and dark for my taste, but probably fun for groups or to have a drink and chicken wings type of vibe place. Big booths and tables, which is nice. Service was very nice and friendly, we appreciated it. Overall, chicken was fresh and sauce tasty. I would be interested to try the soy garlic or spicy flavors. read more

It's just not good. With a strong competitor across the street the wings here should be flavorful abd stand out. We found the opposite. Our fries were soggy and the spicy galbi fries were boring to have about. We told ouour waiter about one of the wings and she got the manager who took them off the bill. The food just wasn't good and not worth the money. I think they need more experienced staff and they should have someone watching and testing the food. The place is big and accommodates group. Laid back ambiance and the bathroom is clean. read more

Wings were good taste wise. Soy garlic was a lot stronger than from other restaurants that I have had. Cheesling flavor was really good to its a powdered cheese. The problem I think would be the inconsistency in wings and batter. Although the flavors were all there some of the pieces were all batter and little meat. It is also on the pricier side. read more

Absolutely love their chicken wings. We've only ever gotten takeout from them but the food travels well, there is a bit of a wait for pick up but that's normal in any restaurant and it's absolutely worth it here. The chicken is perfectly crispy and their sauces are amazing. The staff is also really nice so that's a plus. It can be a bit pricey but you work regret it if you try it! read more

Ordered: Lunch Special Boneless Combo (~$13): 6pc boneless wings (Honey Garlic), substituted sweet potato fries, soda (Diet Coke) + pickled radish Aya's take: If you're looking for a good lunch special deal in Astoria, look no further because bb.q chicken is the place to go! From Mon-Fri from 11am-3pm, you can get all this food for ~$13. I wasn't able to order from the lunch special online and the manager (I believe his name was Joe) informed me they were still working some things out for online ordering. I actually was going to order a different flavor I hadn't tried before and he recommended the Honey Garlic. I'm SO glad he did because he was right - it hit the spot. It's slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and has that umami flavor. The boneless wings are also unbelievably crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy on the inside. I'm usually a bone-in girl but these boneless wings have me second-guessing myself! They were also nice enough to substitute sweet potato fries which is absolutely the way to go here! They're crunchy, flaky, and sweet; the sweetness complimented the honey garlic quite nicely. And the pickled radish was the perfect palette cleanser and I personally just love snacking on them between bites. Amazing Korean fried chicken, great value, and fantastic customer service! read more

BBQ Chicken's newest location in Astoria has similar aesthetics to the one located in Ktown. It has a sort of minimalist cafeteria slash bar feel to it. There are various tv screens throughout the restaurants playing different sports and KPop music videos. As you enter, there are two kiosks where you can place orders for takeout. Very convenient. Inside there are plenty of tables and a small bar area. I love Korean BBQ chicken and have been to the Ktown location many times. This location has a very similar menu but does not have the convenient grab and go meals. Everything is made to order which means you'll find it is a bit of a wait to get your order. I came by during their first week of having opened and the place was popping. The kitchen could not get orders out fast enough. There were many people ordering take out at the kiosks. I ordered a small order of Soy garlic boneless chicken ($12.95), Fried Dumplings ($8.95) and Chicken Alfredo pasta ($15.95). The soy garlic chicken was tender with a light crunchy coating. Soy garlic flavor was mildly sweet. It was quite good. The dumplings were okay. Not as flavorful as I've had elsewhere but not bad. Paired it with some chili oil and it was jamming. The Chicken Alfredo was really tasty, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The portion was really big and could easily be shared. It had slices of very tender boneless chicken and the Alfredo sauce was slightly garlicky and very cheesy. Overall, a very satisfying meal. So glad they finally opened and hope they do well. read more

Happy to have this in Astoria! The wings are made to order here compared to their Ktown location where they also have a grab and go bucket. It will take about 15-20 mins for the wings to come out, but it's super fresh and piping hot! Decent size on the fries as well. Servers were very attentive and this is a large space. It was a little confusing when you first walk in because there are kiosks to the right which are just to order take out. You have to catch the contact with the servers and they'll seat you for dining in. read more

We always order BB.Q chicken at work and last night we had the chance to go check it out in person. I had a great experience. It on busy 30th Avenue in Astoria. The restaurant has bar and table top seating. What was most noticeable was the friendly and attentive service. We were checked on as we sat down and shown how the ordering and payment worked and throughout the meal. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. For the food we had the rose ddeok-bokki was delicious as always. It's creamy and has a hint of spice. Definitely my favorite. We also had the spicy wings and soy garlic. Both very good and served with radish. For drinks we had the soju cocktails which were ok. Lychee and the signature. Overall it was an amazing experience and I will definitely be back! read more

So excited that there is finally a BBQ Chicken in Astoria. I used to make the trek to Koreatown for it and it wouldn't be as fresh by the time I got home an hour later. I came with a couple friends after our workout and everything happened in a really timely manner despite the restaurant being pretty full since it opened just a few days back. We got the half-half special sauce and original plus garlic soy and spicy sauce. We also got a Ddeok-Bokki with cheese which was absolutely perfect. They say it'll be 20-25 minutes to cook the chicken, but when in good company, time honestly seems to fly by. I have to say my favorite combo is probably original chicken and garlic soy chicken - the special sauce is good, but definitely on the sweet chili sauce side. The interior is pretty typical, though it is very clean since the restaurant just opened. Also the servers were really kind and attentive - extra napkins, taking plates away at a good time, etc... I don't expect half of these things, but they definitely went above and beyond. One thing to note is that the kiosks are take-out only. there's a huge label on them that somehow all three of us missed when we were about to order, but noticed and then took a seat to order normally. At least we knew what we wanted to order after mulling over it in front of a screen for so long. Overall, I'm really excited to have quality Korean fried chicken in Astoria and will be back whenever I can be. Definitely got that post-workout protein in, and in the most delicious way. read more

The boneless galbi fried chicken is delicious and addictive; you can"t eat just one. We paired it with some kimchi fried rice for a weeknight dinner. We found out about this place because someone on the N train was riding home with some takeout from this place and if you love Korean food it smelled heavenly. Now we are fans! read more

It was a new go-to korean chicken place last year. Now i feel like soon it's gonna close it's doors. It has become sad, they cut down on other menu like their salads which were really great and healthy! Just chicken and teotboki now . Not much variety. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing!! I always go for the boneless cheesy wings combo and you get so much food!

The best chicken wings! Fast service too - their Strawberry lemonade is also a must when I order here - so refreshing!

I ordered rosa spicy rice cakes and it was amazing. The food was fresh and I got my order fast. I would recommend this to anyone. Great experience!!! read more

This place has the best fried chicken in Astoria, hands down. Is it pricey? Yes. That's why I'm not going there all the time (besides the health implications). And I've come here to complain about their fries. They charge almost $6 for fries and they suck. They used to be a thicker cut but now they're super thin and very well done. There also were very few in the bag. When i opened it, I thought it was a bag of condiments because it was so flat. If you're going to be charging that much for French Fries, at least give me a decent portion of them. And change it back to the old style cuz this ain't it. I'd rather go to McDonald's and get theirs with your chicken. read more

The food is good - it's a Korean fried chicken chain after all, so of course they know how to make fried chicken! The service and ambiance is disappointing though. There's not much service at all: you scan a QR code to order through your phone, and you also pay from your phone. Instead of a server coming around to see if your meal is okay, you get an impersonal SMS asking you if you'd like to order another drink (which, of course, you have to do yourself, on your phone). I felt like I was at a McDonald's instead of a restaurant. I felt like I was at the DMV instead of a restaurant. That means they need fewer servers: there was one when I went. She was friendly and polite, gave me my food and refilled my water. There seemed to be other workers too, but they just milled around behind the bar, chatting with each other and handling one takeout order the entire time I was there. I'm not sure what's up with that. Unsurprisingly, the place was quiet on a Thursday night: maybe only two or three other tables had anyone at them. I felt bad seeing such a large restaurant being so quiet. I liked this place a lot when they first opened in the neighborhood (and when they had real people serving you), and I remember them being full at nights... but now the in-person experience is pretty bleak. Maybe I'll do takeout again, but at that point why not just go a few blocks east to Comfortland, you know? read more

I love Korean Fried Chicken so I was excited when this place opened. They have a wide variety of sauces. I tried the secret sauce which had 1 flame for the level of spiciness. It does have a mild kick but it ends with a sweet note. The honey garlic wings were my favorite. Next time, I'll try the two flame wings .The portions are very filling and the fries are big enough to share. I like that the benches have outlets to charge your phone/electronics if needed. They also have kiosks so you can order out if needed. read more

I'm so pumped that my favorite chicken place opened in my neighborhood! I ordered from here a few times and the quality has always been A-1 supreme. The quality, taste, presentation is done beautifully! I cannot recommend this place more with a higher regard. As I'm writing my review I'm about to order from them through uber eats! Thanks for being so awesome!! read more

The food was superb--absolutely no complaints there. Everything we ordered was delicious and clearly made with care. Our server was excellent--super attentive, knowledgeable, and really doing his best to hold everything together. That said, the place doesn't seem to know if it's a dine-in restaurant or a takeout hub. While we were eating, delivery drivers were constantly coming and going, some even sitting nearby waiting for orders. It really took away from the dining experience and made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal. The one server was basically doing everything--handling tables, making drinks, coordinating with delivery drivers--and yet there were two people in the back on laptops who didn't seem to be helping at all. It was frustrating to see someone working so hard while others sat back. The wings we ordered had bone when we ordered boneless and the wrong side came with our meal but the waiter has so much going on we didn't want to add any additional stress. The business clearly has demand, but management needs to invest in more front-of-house staff. There should be someone specifically assigned to delivery and someone else to focus on dine-in guests. Separating the two would go a long way in improving the ambiance and overall customer experience. read more

Recommend - Gangnam style sauce! It's tasty, and not so sweet like other korean chicken sauce.

Love this place! Wings are incredible and the rose tteokbokki here is my favorite in the city.

Well what a joy to have another Korean Fried Chicken place in Astoria! It's cozy and clean, though i wish it had more booth type of seats too. I've been there quite a few times already to the point the gentleman server knows my face haha. Anyways, the first time I went in I got a batch of the Soy Garlic wings which Is usually my go to for a KFC place. They were absolutely delicious! Savory and ridiculously crunchy with a nice side of radish to balance it out. The second time I went with a friend and we stayed for quite a while lol. We tried the Galbi wings which were decent but a little...odd(?) as well. We also tried the Golden Original (the classic!) and the Honey Garlic. The original had a wonderful flavor and was extremely juicy/crunchy. It's basically the standard of how a good piece of KFC should be! The Honey Garlic however...oh my. These turned out to be my favorite! That sweet flavor with a hint of savory garlic was delicious!! The next time I passed by I got the Secret Sauce flavor and I think these would be my second favorite (golden original is not far behind). They were sweet and tangy which I loved. However, they are so saucey that it can get a bit messy haha. Whenever I walk in for an order now, I alternate between the Honey Garlic, Original and Secret Sauce. If BB.Q Chicken maintains this quality, it will be amazing. I hope they do! Now we just need an AYCE Korean BBQ in Astoria as well and it'll be heaven on Earth! Edit: P.S - I hope Bb.q considers offering wet naps for dine in customers at some point as those delicious saucey wings can get messy as I mentioned, haha read more

Ordered through grubhub using standard process. Had the food before. Its to die for. The crust on the chicken is perfection.

Had the golden chicken half order. Crisp juicy and tender and the fried dumpling were amazing as well 10 out of 10!

Excited for bb.q chicken's newest location in Astoria! My friends and I went here shortly after grand opening for their crispy and juicy wings, fries and rose tteokbokki, and it DID NOT disappoint! The food was all so amazing and as expected since I've had their chicken and fries from other locations in NY. the rose tteokbokki is a must, so creamy and flavorful, and such a step up from the classic gochujang base. I just wish they allowed you to mix and match sauces, and had combo meals... The only thing that surprised me was the overall dining experience. Although service was great, I thought they lacked some key features such as gloves and mini bin to discard bones without creating a mess, and since other KFC restaurants offer these dine-in amenities. I would like to recommend having these as it would promote a positive dining experience. Overall though, the food and service were great! read more

I was planning to review a couple of Yemeni restaurants on Steinway Street, but as I was full at the last minute, I thought I would try BBQ Chicken Pub -the Korean BBQ fast-food restaurant This eatery was literally pumpin'. On one side, large TV screens with music videos, and behind the counter on the other side, they were showing College Football Games. Most of the tables were taken, and yes they get +1 for atmosphere. The pub was humming with activity. Now what to order. I wasn't fully up to date on all the Korean BBQ choices and settled on the Honey Garlic Boneless Wings. They were full of flavor and tasted even better the following day. I added some blue cheese dip left over from the Oven from the previous day. I ordered 8 wings and a can of coke a price of a little over $21. They made a mistake and gave me two Cokes as I was drinking one already provided, so I'm not complaining. Though the seating is not as comfortable as Mad for Chicken, the wings are better, and this pub really rocks, with much more atmosphere. read more

On my daily commute, I have often walked past the new location on 30th Avenue and thought the food looked great. I recently ordered some boneless fried chicken and steamed rice but when our order arrived, we saw that we had received the incorrect delivery. Understandably, this happens occasionally and is typically not a cause for concern. I called the restaurant to share that we'd received the wrong order, that it seemed likely that someone else received our order, and asked if our correct order could be re-fired and delivered. The first person I spoke with was very understanding and kind, saying they were sorry for the mistake and could definitely re-fire the order and get it out to us ASAP. I was asked to wait as this person determined what the kitchen/management wanted us to do with the incorrect order. Then an assistant manager took over the call and said the restaurant could not send the correct order because it would cost them too much to send another delivery person and it would take too long to cook the food again. Then the assistant manager said, "It' sounds like you are hungry, so you should go ahead and have the food that was delivered." I was stunned that someone would behave in such an insulting way after having made this kind of error with a delivery. It's disappointing to have the restaurant management show so little empathy for a situation that was entirely their own responsibility to correct. I wish them well, but will not be ordering from this place again. read more

I went to this place on 12/18/23 @ 8:35, I went in sat down, I seen someone had posted there grand opening, I figured it's right in the neighborhood let me go check it out, I was excited to go, I have to say I got the secret sauce chicken, 8 pieces it was horrible as I write this review my stomach is messed up, the staff showed zero hospitality, I had to get up and ask for things, they ran out of French fries, the onion rings I had were under cooked, the beer I had tasted stale, not once did anyone ask if I needed anything, I asked for blue cheese and they charged me for it, a big franchise like Buffalo Wild Wings doesn't charge you for that, the food is way over price I give the food a 1 out of ten the only thing that was good was the sauce, I had a horrible experience and will never go back, for 8 pieces of chicken, onion rings and beer it came out to $35 dollars never again read more

So it was the middle of the day it's raining cats and dogs and with a howling wind. I stopped by the restaurant with my coworker to grab some food. The restaurant is completely empty and we're seated quickly. We stop by the restaurant - we are seated - they asked us what we would like to drink would like you would love to have a beer. Two minutes later a gentleman comes up it's not working - we ordered sodas and kept it moving - we ask for wifi reply( We don't know it) - we place our order - 30 seconds we are scared by a big boom and they swing the front door open to get a delivery ( you have dollys and carts pulling supplies in while the rain and wind is howling) you know stuff like this happens but the stuff bringing the stuff in start all the supplies on the floor the wind is flowing in and we see it's getting worst with sound of staff , the smashing sounds and wind blowing dirty at our table it was time to go - we just open up our sodas and it's raining cats and dogs and we can't take out open bottles anymore so I asked them to please give us a new Coke as we didn't drink anything and to make our food to go - the manager comes by he says hey guys not a problem I know this has been an awful experience let me go ahead and take care of your meal We shake his hand we thank him, 20 mins later the food is brought out as the restaurant is still cold as can be with the rain and wind blowing in they also bring a check to us saying the manager said he would take care of it (manager I don't know how to remove the food you need to pay for it) This is such a funny story I can't even make this up. I'm excited to read the reply from the manager ( This place needs some real help) read more

Love this chicken. Extremely tasty and flavorful with the perfect crispy outside and juicy inside. It can be a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it. It can be busy and the inside feels more like a Chipotle than any restaurant. I once ordered pickup, came home and realized the order was wrong. I walked back, and they sat me at the bar and offered my wife and me a free drink while we waited for the correct food. I definitely appreciated their willingness to correct the mistake. read more

My bf has been eagerly awaiting for them to open up! We finally got to try it during their opening weekend. As usual, Korean fried chicken can take a bit of time to come out, but it's well worth the wait! The chicken sandwich I got was so crispy and juicy. The drink menu was also fun and interesting but didn't get to try it this time around. They don't have a grab and go section like in Koreatown but it's still pretty easy to order ahead and pick up your meal! read more

Extremely slow and incredibly awkward service. The food was actually good but the staff definitely needs customer service training.
