Was craving Korean fried chicken, so we decided to come here on a Monday night. There was plenty of parking, and the restaurant had ample seating. Upon entering, we were greeted by the server and quickly seated. The restaurant was clean and had K-pop music playing, which created a chill and fun vibe. We ordered corn cheese, Tteok-bokki, and 16 wings (Spicy Galbi and Soy Garlic flavor). The corn cheese was probably one of the best I've had! It was sweet with perfectly melted cheese on top that complemented the dish well. The wings were delicious as well, made to order and super crispy with a satisfying crunch! I was a bit nervous about the spicy galbi being too hot, but it was manageable. The pickled radish that came with it helped cleanse the palate and added a refreshing touch. Overall, it was a great experience! If you're looking for crispy chicken with fast service, definitely check this place out! read more

I love the food, but everytime I dine in with my family. I get charged with 20% gratuity. My family is 2 adults and 3 kids. You guys are a chicken wings restaurant. Why are you charging 20% gratuity? There was no actual waiter. There were 2 employees running the front. We literally had to wave them down or walk up to the desk and ask for napkins, refills, etc. Suggestions: Maybe raise the party size to charge automatic 20% gratuity, or lower the gratuity amount read more

More like 3.5 but I'll give 4. I much prefer their Katy location over Bellaire location. Did not realized they have a Westheimer location in Houston so I'll be making my way over there soon enough. If you're craving for Korean fried chicken, bb.q Chicken is where it's at. They use olive oil (I need to confirm if they use extra virgin olive oil) and flavor-wise is pretty consistent with all their locations that I've been to. Spicy original, soy garlic, and gangnam are my top 3 flavors for their wings. This location tends to be less crowded compare to their Katy location. Wings comes out in about 20 minutes. Sometimes the server will see you and sometimes they forget you. At this location, you sit down and order at your table then they bring out your drinks and foods. Sometimes I pay at the register and sometimes I pay at my table. It depends on their mood. The staffs are what makes the business. Corned cheese is served in a rice Japanese bowl... strange that it doesn't burn the bowl when they burn the top. Good but probably better if served on a small cast iron. Wings are usually pretty good. Sometimes, you might get a lot of broken bones within the wings. Not sure why it's only at this location that happens so be cautious even though you're eating wings. The music gives a fun vibe but most people are just on their phone and not interacting with each other (how boring). Parking... well, have fun finding it sometimes. Most of the time, it's not hard to find parking near this restaurant. read more

We went because we were craving Korean fried chicken. Overall, the experience was okay. It took a lot of flagging down the staff as we ran out of water or something wasn't right about the order. The chicken was okay and the fries were just plain. It wasn't too busy on a Sunday night. Probably wouldn't be back. read more

I think out of all of the korean fried chicken places in Houston this one is my favorite. I like the flavor and how crispy the chicken is. I will say that some pieces of the chicken look like babies but other than that it's good. The soy garlic chicken was super crispy and the flavor was amazing. For the chicken mayo rice bowl you can choose what flavor you want it and I chose honey garlic. They added the sauce to the rice which I liked a lot since it packed flavor. The interior was clean and organized. The service was pretty good as well, they were kind and fast. read more

If you're looking for a place to bring a crowd, this is it!! I came here with all of my siblings and my absolute favorite flavor that I always get is the cheeseling which comes boneless. It looks like a lot of cheese powder when you first get it, but it is absolutely necessary because the cheese powder is so delicious. This is my first time getting the normal fried chicken that was supposed to be spicy. The chicken was cooked well but honestly, I didn't taste any flavor so it's good if you're into basic but it's not my cup of tea. Last, but at least we got the honey garlic, which was perfectly savory and sticky! All the chickens come with the side of radish, which pairs great with the hot chicken. One note is if you do dine in and you come in person they do have a gratuity charge is automatically added so just watch out for that on your receipt. Overall an iconic Korean fried chicken spot that is sure to please! read more

The place was nice with music in the background. The server was quick with our food as well. The chicken was packed with flavor, and the soy garlic boneless wings were the absolute highlight. The original was decent, and the cheesling on the side was pretty good, too. Overall, delicious food and great service. Would definitely love to come back! read more

This is my favorite Korean fried chicken spot, the spicy original and honey butter wings hit every time!! Flavorful, crunchy, and the spicy original reheats well (honey butter sauce burns in the airfryer) but love love, highly recommend !! read more

FOOD Honey Garlic Wings - probably the CRUNCHIEST chicken I've had. It's actually so good and flavorful. The garlic flavor really sticks out which I like. But yeah - good amount of sauce and godly on the crispiness!! VIBES Really crowded on a Saturday evening with lots of friends hanging out and groups! Perfect place for delicious late night chicken and drinking (or just chilling). SERVICE Took around 20-30 minutes to get my order but there were tons of people coming in for pick up orders! Very nice and friendly service! read more

I came to dine in with my bf & we ordered 16 pc wings with two flavors-- gangnam style & hot original. Their wings have never failed me when I would order from them, but this time was questionable & hazardous. 80% of our wings had broken bones, more than half had broken pieces stuck to the meat. We wanted to raise concern to this issue but on top of this, the service was really slow & the food took over 30 minutes to come out (we only ordered the 16 wings + fries). In the beginning, they forgot they even sat us & never came to take our order until we flagged them down. We were there for so long, at that point we wanted to just pay & get going. I'm hoping they do better at quality checking their food because it could be hazardous if a customer's not paying attention while they eat. So just be aware & careful when biting into their wings, since the bones cracked easily for me. read more

Great service and great food! So awesome! Will come back again! Wonderful place. Bring family and friends

My favorite KFC spot in Houston! I know bb.q chicken is a chain but both this and the Westheimer location don't miss! I love how crispy the outside always is while the inside of their chicken is juicy and tender. The flavors for the wings though does feel limited to me, like I wish there were some more unique flavors, but a solid favorite of mine is the soy garlic wings. My boyfriend and I will usually order half order of soy garlic wings and a half order of another flavor and that's more than enough food for the two of us where we end up with leftovers. This time we got the soy garlic wings and the spicy galbi, and we thought the spicy galbi flavor tasted a bit too smoky and not much else to it. The service is quick and they do inform you that the chicken usually takes 15-20 mins to cook, but that's when you know it's freshly made because it do be cooking out hotttt. If I'm hangry, I'll usually order a quick app like fries to munch on while I wait. It's a very casual and chill spot, good for group hangouts. read more

New location in Bellaire super convenient but was a bit apprehensive based on negative reviews. However, glad we did try and we will definitely return! Service: 5/5 Food quality: 5/5 Seasoning: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 After trying most of the Korean fried chicken places around town, we've decided we like bb.q the best. Unfortunately our usual place on Westheimer has really gone downhill and is not somewhere we're willing to go anymore. For one, the service is good and fast here. You get your food within 10-15 minutes and it is piping hot, juicy, and crisp! Each medium order comes with 9 large wings so one order was more than enough for each person. Note they do not accommodate requests for all flats or all drums. This location has some flavors that the other location does not so that was nice surprise. The interior is pretty spacious and everything looked well maintained / clean, which I would expect given it's new. The only weird thing was all the tables were 4-6 seaters. No small tables for 1-2 people. Now there was never a line for seating but if it gets busier, it seems like the table setup is not the most optimal. Bathrooms are large and clean and there's a log showing when it was last cleaned, which seems to be more than a few times a day. Now to the food! Everything was cooked well, crispy and held up with the sauce, tender and juicy! Ratings on the flavor: - Secret sauce (3/5): sweet and tangy is the description and I would agree. I did not enjoy the tangy as much as I thought. It's ok to me, nothing wrong with it but just not my preferred flavor. This one has a little bit of heat. - Soy Garlic (4/5): this is usually my favorite but I don't think they did a good/consistent job of saucing the wings, so I didn't get the expected flavor - Caribbean Spice (4/5): This was an interesting new flavor - hard to describe but we both enjoyed it! A little heat here too but nothing too spicy. The pickled daikons were fresh and crisp (more so than the other location) so also appreciated that. Want to give soy garlic another try next time to see if it's more like I remember! read more

I usually enjoy this brand especially the Westheimer Rd. location, which always provides great service. Unfortunately, my recent experience at this location was extremely disappointing. I accidentally selected hot spicy instead of spicy original in the bbq chicken app, I went to the store to get it corrected. Even after showing proof that the order came through their official app, the staff insisted multiple times that it "wasn't their issue" and that I needed to contact DoorDash even though no delivery service was involved (Their website is powered by Doordash). It was concerning that the employee didn't seem familiar with the store's own services or how the app them directs customers to the store location for support. On the app it directed me to the store locations phone number. I even demonstrated this by showing the order, requesting customer support and calling the support number in front of the employee, and she answered the store phone herself. They refused to exchange or correct the order, saying they "lose money." I had even added a note asking not to include pickled radishes in order to avoid waste, but they were added anyway, and overall created even more waste. Afterward, I noticed other customers on here have had similar complaints about the customer service at this location, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Overall, very dismissive and despite the proof and the fact that the app directs customers to the exact store location for order issues, they refused to help. I hope management addresses these issues, because I genuinely like this brand and would like to continue supporting it. There are too many Korean Fried Chicken competitors (Bonchan, Krisp, Hoodadak, etc) for their customer support skills to be this abyssmal. read more

Great customer service at the counter and the food is always amazing ! Also has a very clean environment

Good food and great customer service. The place inside is really nice. Thank you for the great experience

Finally got to sit-down dinner here. Came Friday night and it wasn't very crowded. We ordered 24 pc wings. The flavors: spicy original, spicy galbi and honey garlic. All were awesome. I favorite was the honey garlic and would order this for to-go. The service was ok considering there were two people manning the front and handling mobile orders Place is clean. Always loved the pickled radish here. read more

I was looking for a quick place to grab some korean wings in Chinatown and found this place closet to BW8. Although they don't have the highest rating on Yelp, they do specialize in KFC, and the inside is pretty new, clean, and modern. They have 5 TVs with 4 playing KPop videos, while 1 was playing food related programming during my visit. The menu is pretty simple and has basically various types of chicken: boneless, bone in, whole chicken pieces, and apps. There is also a drink menu with cokes, korean drinks, and even korean cocktails that use soju. I ordered the medium spicy kalbi bone in wings and the Ddeok Bokki with cheese. They say their medium comes with between 8-10 pieces, while their large comes with 16-18 pieces. I thought the flavor was pretty good, but I think I just should have stuck with a more basic flavor like their Gplden original or spicy golden original. Their menu at the counter is slightly different than some flavors featured on posters along the wall. I wish i would have ordered the flavor on the poster, but oh well, too late now. The ddeok bokki is slightly spicy and pretty good also. Either way, if you're craving KFC, this is a decent option to try. read more

The crust on their chicken wings is amazing as is their sauces definitely one of the best chicken wings I've ever had!

The place was spacious and clean. Good and quick service. We got the honey soy and secret sauce wings. I liked the secret sauce a lot more. The honey soy was objectively more crispy though depending on your preference. read more

I came here on a whim with some friends and decided to try their Korean fried chicken. We ordered the honey garlic boneless chicken and the soy garlic boneless chicken. The honey garlic was my favorite out of the two and was a great mix of sweet and savory. The soy garlic was okay, and it felt like there was something lacking in the flavor. The service was not that great. We waited for a while (about twenty minutes) before the server came to greet us and take our order, and they never came again after. Overall, the food and service was okay. There are better Korean fried chicken places. read more

Great service and great wings. The honey garlic was my favorite. Will come back. The price is very reasonable. Come and check them out.

It's still relatively new so be patient. I have been to the Westheimer location and thought I'd grab some take-away on a Thursday night while I was visiting my baba in Chinatown. Ordered the spicy galbi wings and the soy sauce wings. Also grabbed the cheese sticks and the so-ddeuk. Spicy galbi wings - chicken was perfectly cooked, crunchy skin, tender meat, the sauce is a bit sticky which I didn't remember from before but still very flavorful Soy sauce wings - chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, I was not loving the sauce, was a bit strong on the soy sauce side Cheese sticks - honestly, thought it would be like mozzarella sticks but it wasn't and didn't really enjoy them So-ddeuk - perfectly cooked, the rice cake rolls were tender and the combo with the sausage and sauce was fabulous They were fairly empty inside but it was around 5 pm. They make it to order so if you walk in for a take away, be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes. The front staff guy was very friendly and checked on me a few times. The inside was nicely designed but there was some clutter (looked like they were using a table for overflow) - but honestly most Asian restaurants have that one table. Def will try them again. The location isn't the best but as I was leaving, more people were arriving. read more

Have I not written a review before? Weird..been here a handful of times. I will say, the amount of chicken you get for the medium has varied the few times I went before. The last time, maybe last yr, the chicken pieces were nuggies sized and they tasted reheated, super crunchy but not a light crisp crunch. I vowed not to come back but I came back last night cause I love their sauce flavors. This time around, I believe it was more on the 4 side but I am giving a 3 because of consistency. We ordered 4 mediums and 1 half and half full chicken. The original is no longer their olive flavor which I loved most. But maybe I needed to ask for the olive chicken? The best flavors imo are cheeseling and honey garlic. The cheeseling is coated in loose cheese powder that if you breathe in while taking a bite, you'll get some dust in your throat so be careful! The cheese flavor is super savory and the after mouth feel is sweet and velvety. 5/5. The honey garlic is also a 5/5 for me. It's better than soy garlic. You'll wake up with the worst garlic breath ever but it's worth it!!! Get a side of rice cause this yummy chicken needs something to catch the extra yummy sauce! Service was mediocre, there was only one server when we went so our waters weren't filled up as quickly as they could but we had beer as back up. Will come back, cause I love this place. read more

Having craved some Korean fried chicken and been to different establishments of bb.q chicken chains, I was excited to see they opened up one in the Bellaire area. I wanted to grab it to go and the front staff was really friendly and helpful. The wait time for ordering 4 different chicken flavors: soy garlic, honey garlic, secret sauce and original took about 40 minutes for to-go. The dine-in experienced looked pretty good as well with not too many people on a Saturday afternoon. I've tried many of the different flavors but got recommended the honey garlic one this time around. I can say it's definitely one of my favorites now. A little brief breakdown of each one. Soy garlic: Very umami and salty tasting. Honey garlic: More sweet with a ginger and garlic taste to it. Secret sauce: Very sweet coating to the chicken. Original: Great plain crispy fried chicken that is tender and moist. Great addition of another bb.q chicken location especially in an already booming Bellaire area. read more

I've been binging K-drama on Netflix as of late. I've just finished watching Crash Landing on You and there was this fried chicken restaurant that was shown throughout the series. I was ecstatic when I found out that same place has a chain location right here in Chinatown! Hellooo!! I immediately planned a lunch date with my husband and overall we had a wonderful time. First, the music that is blasted there is obviously K-pop and even V-pop. We tried the Golden Original whole chicken (meaning bone-in), Sweet Potato Fries, and Ddeok-Bokki. Everything was hot and very satisfying. My drink of choice was a delicious soju cocktail called Pinkalicious (I think). Overall, this place is a cool hangout with all my favorite things! read more

Note to self, don't go to dentist right after eating Korean Fried Chicken. Before I getting into my soapbox, let me just say that I'm glad bb.q Chicken finally opened in Chinatown. I've waited over a year after seeing the sign up on the building where Niu Yi Zui Lamen used to be prior to CoVid. I was craving for fried chicken right after attending CMYE at AtCha. They had chicken but I chose to hold my appetite until I can get a quick grab at bb.q. However, the food is not fast at this restaurant. As I walked in, I was greeted by "wait to be seated" sign. Employee was helping me to understand how to order at the counter. After I paid for my food, he said "it would be 20-25 minutes." Oh no. My lunch break would be over by then. So, I asked if I can pick up next day. He confirmed with his manager. Great, I took my appetizer home first. It was Tteok-bokki, spicy rice cake bowl. The portion was snack size and it cost me $11 and some change. It tasted ok. It's my fault not given me enough time to enjoy at this new Korean food restaurant. Next day, I went back to the restaurant to pick up my medium sized boneless wings. I ordered kalbi flavor but they have a hint of kicking spiciness in the back. I had to check with other Yelper to make sure the flavor was correct. I guess the front desk or kitchen mixed up my order. Medium size chicken was plenty for me and my family. We're old folks. We don't eat a whole lot. Because the strong flavor, I had to eat it with steamed rice. After it cooled down, the chicken pieces got hard. Again, I'm an old man with weak teeth to chew. I had to chop them up and cook in my ramen soup. It actually flavored my ramen well. Oh so yummy. The whole box took me 3 meals to finish. It baffled me why mine was spicy. I'll find out when I go back to the restaurant after I get my bonus pay. It wasn't cheap eating there. I spent all my allowance from August to pay for that meal. Oh. Another note to self, don't eat the pickled radish in the house. Family member noticed the odor and knew what I bought home. I learned a recipe to make my own chicken-mu. Just in case I couldn't go back sooner. read more

We got galbi and spicy original. It was crispy flavorful and the service was great! My kids loved it !

atleast make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly... if only the bbq in westheimer was closer... smh

Love bb.q chicken and so glad they opened up a location in Chinatown! We've visited their branch on the west side before, so we knew exactly what we were going to order. Our favorite flavor is the Cheesling. It's almost sweet and is covered in cheesy powder, similar to Cheetos. We also tried the Gangnam Style flavor and really enjoyed its savory, black pepper flavor. Our order came out piping hot and with a side of pickled daikon, and service was very attentive as well. We'll be back! read more
