Secret Spicy & Gang-jeong whole chicken
Louis P.

BBQ is def one of the grandfathers of KFC Korean Fried Chicken in LA, and they do it right. Its a tight call between Bonchon and BBQ Chicken. Been to the Cerritos location few times, last time tried the Gang-Jeong and Secret Spicy. I prefer the spicy, the Gang-Jeong was ok for me, something about the cinnamon in the sauce just meh. Chicken is juicy fried perfectly. Place is in the same shopping center as Lucilles and other yummy restos, parking can be a pain in the buttocks but well worth it.

Ros Ddeok-Bokki

The wings were delicious and so crispy. There is a slight spice. I did order to go but the service was very fast. The building was very clean. The rose tteokbokki was pretty good and creamy not spicy at all.

Spicy Galbi Wings
Alex M. ..

The pictures speak for themselves. Here's the rundown: - Started off with Kimchi Fried Rice. Kimchi was fine, nothing special while the rice stayed fluffy but still with a little crunch. Some other bits of bacon I think scattered about. Overall, really solid but pricy at $15.99 and likely won't try again. - Spicy Galbi wings: Tasted like an elevated bbq sauce with a little heat at the end. Didn't really taste like Galbi that I'm used to but still quite scrumptious. Perfectly breaded and exploding with juice. - Soy Garlic Wings: The highlight and a 5 star meal by itself. Had just a touch of honey or sugar to provide a sweet edge but the garlic taste is so plentiful. Big hit for Garlic lovers like me. Every dish was $15.99 which was quite pricy and we were given only one radish serving which was demolished quickly. Also no mixing of flavors within one order which is just greedy. Left a bad taste in my mouth. If I'm back in the area I would try again but only two dishes. Also the cashier was also doing the busing. She was great and kind with our order!

Chicken was good but wasn't the same as in Korean. Got the regular half chicken and spicy chicken wings. Got also the potato Fries n sweet potatoes fries. Customer service was great n ambience kids friendly! I'll come back again

This particular location is really cool, and I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the backup option for me when I can't get a quick enough table for the other places around it. But honestly, this place is super reliable, and I appreciate that. I've been here a number of times and I'm always greeted to warm and patient workers, big portions, and hot food. It's honestly old reliable at this point. And I hate to refer to this spot as a backup, but honestly, it should really be looked at as a compliment because in times when I can't find a reliable option due to wait times or long lines, this place has always been there. I really appreciate how good this place is.

Just happened to stop by right before closing after an evening gym session. The workers were friendly and still took our order within the last 30minutes. Plenty of options to choose from and good service and nice! Will definitely be back.

Parking here is a bit of a pain after 4pm and is tucked away in the corner of the lot. First time walking into k.bbq you notice how clean the restaurant is and you can smell all the fresh spices. I was instantly greeted by a man and recommended me the spicy galbi wings & garlic crunch wings as shown in photo. I was instantly hooked to the spicy galbi wings and the rice and the side of radish. You will not be disappointed by the quality of service & food here. I will be back forsure and this is the only fried chicken I will buy.

Outside restaurant.  Has some seating inside but most people I saw were picking up to go.
Erin H.

Wings and service were spot on. Cashier was friendly and suggested various wing flavors which I appreciated. Wings came out hot and stayed that way on trip home. I tried Honey garlic and Soy garlic. Both delicious with the honey garlic slightly better. Wings are large so you do not need many to fill you up. Which is good because they are little pricier that traditional wing places and you are unable to split an order to get more than one flavor. That was the only down side. Would I order again, absolutely since they are crunchier and better than traditional wings.

Jeannette Jazmín C.

The food was good, the service is friendly. But I think the sauces are too salty and too sweat, makes it hard to fully enjoy

Everything we ordered was good!
Paolo T.

First time at this location! Bigger than the one in Walnut. Came on a Saturday night and the whole center was busy. Had to drive around a few times to get parking. Walnut location was more of a To-Go style spot. This one is more of a sit down spot with plates and a water pitcher for the table. Ordered at the register and food was very good! We got the Boneless Honey Garlic wings and Original Hot n Spicy Bone in wings! For the sides we got Onion Rings and Mozzarella sticks which came out hot and fresh! They had a projector tv which was playing Moana and the kids around us liked that. Would definitely come back at this spot again!

Ask the Community - bb.q Chicken Cerritos

I haven't tried the boneless chicken since I assumed it was white meat and prefer dark meat ? Can anyone confirm if it's dark or white? Thank you!

I'm pretty sure it's dark meat

No pasta or ddeok bokki carbonara here?

Cerritos location only has normal and new rosé ddeok bokki (:

How many pieces are in a Medium vs Large order of Whole Chicken/Boneless/Traditional Wings?

Speaking only for traditional (bone-in) wings, there are 10 in the medium order & 20 in the large order!

What is the additional sauce about? If I wanted more honey garlic sauce on the side, I can buy it?

Yes you can buy additional sauces for $1.99 and only are for secret spicy, hot spicy and honey garlic, and their dipping sauces: ranch, ketchup and honey mustard, are free

Do you have the carbonara on your menu like the one at the buena park location?

They do not

This time we also felt a little adventurous and decided to try other things on the menu however it didn't slap like our originals - The garlic Parmesan didn't really have a lot of flavor.

We were seated immediately, but it took some time for the servers to check on us and take our orders. I shared with 2 people in my party. The three of us split the 12 piece soy bone in wings (~$19), tornado fries (~$9), a pitcher of Sapporo (~$22), and a bottle of Saero Apricot (~$13). Our total with tax and tip included was $79 for the three of us. I was a bit underwhelmed with the tornado fries. There didn't seem to be much to consume, and they charge for dipping sauces that aren't ketchup. The wings were tasty and had a nice crunch. However, I would have liked a little more meat on them. Overall, this place didn't stand out to me. I wouldn't suggest it to others, but I wouldn't be totally opposed if others wanted to come here either.

How dost one mess up an order not once, but twice in a row?…read more Wing Ferno, we really wanted to love you. But it's clear some serious kitchen training -- and maybe a menu reevaluation -- is in order. Let's start with the spice levels. You used to offer a good range, with the infamous "Wing Ferno" heat reserved for those who truly wanted to test their limits. Somewhere along the way, though, you axed the regular spicy and a few other mid-range options, leaving only mild, medium, and Wing Ferno. No warning, no clarification. When we called to place an order, the staff casually said "spicy," which we assumed meant something tolerable -- not a fire-breathing, stomach-churning sandwich . And we can usually handle our spice -- we're Korean. But this? This had us both violently ill for days with stomach issues. (Sorry for the TMI, but that's the truth.) We chalked it up to a miscommunication and decided to give it another shot. This time, we explicitly asked for medium heat to avoid the inferno. And yet, one of our sandwiches showed up missing half a bun. How does that even happen? We really hoped to add Wing Ferno as one of our go-to spots, but after two back-to-back disappointing (and stomach-wrecking) experiences, we're going to have to take a long break -- if not call it quits altogether. Please do better, Wing Ferno. We want to love you!

Staff were friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Space was nice and clean. The food was solid overall--flavorful and fresh. However, I personally don't think a single chicken sandwich is worth $12 plus tax without the deal.

I've been wanting to try this pocha spot and it did not disappoint! Here's what we got:…read more Pocha Bossam (large for $29.99) The pork belly was so tender and I loved that the meat was marinated so it was flavorful on its own. It paired perfectly with the spicy radish Kim chi and the sliced pickled radish and green onions. Royal Soba w/ Perilla Seed ($17.95) Most unique soba dish I've ever had. It came with an assortment of toppings that added a lot of texture and flavor when mixed all together. The soba sauce was light, but it was packed with umami and super refreshing - perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, everything was delicious and I love the vibe of the restaurant with the BlackPink posters and KPop playing in the background. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive as well. I would come back to try their other dishes!

This time, the family got the Bossam pork belly, tonkatsu, and bulgogi sliders. So one thing I must say, EVERYTHING IS TOO SWEET. The dipping sauce for their meats is all too sweet. I would prefer a dipping sauce that is a tinge sweet, but more focused on a homemade style chili sauce and garlic. The sugary sauce doesn't bring out the taste of the meats. It coats it. The braised beef and pork belly both come with the same sweet sauce. Not a fan. Unfortunately, the glass noodles were also drowned in the sweet sauce. What happened to salt and sesame oil? I probably won't visit Pocha again for a while. I hope to see they listen to what I've said and make some changes. There are a lot of Korean Street food places in BP to try. 3/5 recommend because their braised beef and pork belly are good dishes.

This meal was an absolute feast. Before we even ordered, our…read moreserver brought out waters and a bowl of cabbage salad for the table. It's a small gesture, but it immediately made us feel welcomed. We decided to go with one of the combo meals, which came with boneless crispy fried chicken, cheese tteokbokki, and fried potstickers. We also added an order of corn cheese because... how could we not? The chicken lived up to the hype. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a sauce that had me licking my fingers without shame. The cheese tteokbokki was exactly what I was hoping for. Chewy rice cakes swimming in a rich, spicy, cheesy sauce that kept me coming back for another bite. The corn cheese deserves its own paragraph because wow... I understand why Korean restaurants serve this. Sweet corn covered in gooey melted cheese is one of those dishes that sounds simple but somehow disappears before you realize it. The fried potstickers rounded everything out nicely and added another crispy bite to the meal. And because apparently we hadn't eaten enough, we finished with Dippin' Dots for dessert. It was such a fun way to end the meal and brought back a little childhood nostalgia. Overall, the portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the whole spread looked as good as it tasted. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever the Korean fried chicken craving hits.

There are usually spots. My friend and I ordered the new cream pasta and a half chicken with the house garlic sauce. The pasta was SUPER tasty and rich. It was a very decent size as well. If you order the pasta, I would suggest getting another item as well for balance. The pasta itself would be very heavy. The half chicken wasn't my favorite part. Some parts of the chicken did not have too much flavor and was dry. Perhaps next time I should just order wings and see if that is any better. Our total with tax and tip was $45. I would try this place again.

We came here needing a quick Korean fried chicken fix. My thing is to always to compare to…read moresomething that I liked. So my base is K.bbq Chicken. I walked in and noticed they do have limited tables. I wouldn't say this is a big group kind of place. Luckily for us, we were a party of 4. I looked at the menu over and over and couldn't really decide what to order. I had the dilemma of trying to feed my kids. So of course something not spicy and some carbs. I ordered the fries and honestly they were a miss. I didn't like that dirty oil flavor on it. I also did the cheese balls expecting some cheese full, but that again was a little mochi like in texture with no cheese pulls and dusted with a sweet cheese powder. It's an acquired taste. Those are some of the ehhh dishes. However the star of the show were the boneless chicken. We did their ddeok bokki mala flavor. Dang, that thing hits! It's very spicy, but in a good strong salty and spicy flavoring. It's also not too runny like other ddeok bokki's I've had in the past. I was thoroughly surprised by that dish. Now back to the boneless chicken, just be extra careful on your first bite. It's oozing with juices and piping hot. I had to open a few ahead of time to peel the meat for my children. They loved it. Now, pro tip, I would order the original again and order a side of the flaming sauce. That was super sweet and spicy. The perfect compliment to the crunchy texture. I also ordered a side of the boned in wings and had the soy spicy flavor. That was really tasty. I would order beer next time bc these flavors were bold and needed a cold beer to cool down the heat. Now, the thing that impressed me the most were the crunch on every single piece of chicken. They are by far one of the most inquire flavors and texture combination I tried. One thing, that made me say, hey I'll come back here again, was their workers. My son accidentally dropped the fork and like a few parents, we would just pick it up and wipe it off and use it again. I know, not everyone will do that. If you have a toddler they can drop that fork like 4 times sometimes. Anyways, the waiter noticed that and quickly brought us a clean new fork. That's some fine dining detail that I have never experienced in a small restaurant before. Kudos for the wait staff on that. One item for improvement is to offer some carb options like rice or noodles. I know it's more bar or finger food, but can't really serve Asian food without rice.

The outside was crispy, and it comes with curry and rice, so the portion is very filling. We also ordered the Rice Ball, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Spicy Chicken with Cheese.

Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 This place is going downhill, which is so unfortunate. I used to love coming here years ago. We got the $50 combo of tteokbokki and fried whole chicken. Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.
