    Boneless wings and fries
    Brandon L.

    I've eaten here a few times when I'm in the area and thoroughly enjoy this place. The chicken has always been good, the breading is something to write home about and the flavors of sauces are excellent. This was the first time I was in the area with my wife, and she thought it was excellent as well. The service here was quite good and we will definitely be back at some point in the future.

    Worth trying! Had lunch here and was very happy with the taste and service probited. Good ambiance for lunch family friendly. Service is quick and prices are very reasonable. If you are in the area give it a try and enjoy every bite! Cheers and Buon Appetito!

    Boneless wings with secret sauce

    On the recommendation of a co-worker I visited this place for lunch. While not far from downtown Cincinnati office, I hadn't noticed it before. I over ordered because I couldn't make up my mind (so I have supper too). The aroma and visual were excellent and the flavor matched. Service was very attentive. I'll be back again to experiment with the menus options!

    Galbi Boneless(overcooked)
    Stella P.

    We had a carry out tonight and got very disappointed with the galbi boneless in regard to the taste and the food quality. It was overcooked and the meat was so dry and chewy. I was very excited about bbq chicken in Cincinnati as a Korean but I'm unsure if I would go back there again. The staff was very friendly.

    Spicy Original Wings
    Mila F.

    Love bb.q franchise HATE this location. Ordered pickup for lunch and I was about 3 flats in before I noticed pink in my meat close to the bone. It dried down to a clear red since I set it aside. It's a chicken restaurant that served me undercooked chicken. I hope I don't get sick. Also the sweet potato fries were all either too thin or too short. It's like I got a bag full of the ends of the fries.

    This is based off a pickup order. I placed an order online for 8 boneless spicy wings and cheesling fries. I wish the cheesling fries had a description. I was going off the picture. With that being said these ended up being straight cut fries with a sauce drizzle and lots of powdery cheese. Super tasty. $8.95 seemed appropriate for the portion although I work a few blocks away and wouldn't get them again unless I was splitting them with someone. I'm usually a bone-in wing person vs boneless but since it was a work lunch I didn't want to deal with using my hands. The boneless Nuggets were very crispy. The spicy sauce was good but I wanted a tiny bit more. I might try the Mala ones next time. Also it was disappointing that the picture online showed the boneless wings completely coated with sauce but when I got them the sauce was just drizzled on. I would have appreciated more sauce. A big wishlist though was a smaller portion. The smallest amount you can get it 8 pc which I think is $14. I'd love an option of wings and fries - maybe 4 PC with fries for $12ish? My meal was $22.95 and it's too much food for me to make this a go to lunch spot. With that being said I think it's be a good carryout dinner spot but I know that can be hard downtown. If I were bringing dinner home after work I could see myself picking up a to go dinner here.

    Hot spicy. Nice kick.

    Decent. Pros: Chicken is really good - crisp and flavorful - I had hot spicy and it had a good kick Nice location - high ceilings, decent ambiance Cons: Soda was flat Fries were mediocre at best, especially for $6 Long wait time - about 25-30 at a weekday lunch Expensive (check prices in advance) I would consider returning if they can decrease their wait times and up the service a bit. And I would only order chicken.

    Been wanting to try this new fried chicken place downtown Cincinnati on 4th street and it did not disappoint. Came in on a Friday for lunch and the space was clean and staff were so friendly and patient. Ordered the half original crispy and half and spicy original wings with a side of fries. Love the crunchiness of the wings. I prefer the spicy wings because it has just the right amount of heat. The food took a little bit but that's how you know it's made to order and that they don't make the chicken wings in bulk sitting in the back under a heat lamp. Highly recommend!

    Honey Garlic Wings (I requested all flats)
    Paulette F.

    bb.q, a super cool concept with the appeal of a korean restaurant and feel of a modern sports bar. The staff were amazing - though obviously busy with delivery and takeout orders, they were attentive and accommodating. Denise and Markeith both helped me last night and were incredibly energetic, informative, and proactive. I loooved the honey garlic wings. They were absolutely delicious! I am a garlic fanatic, and appreciated the authentic garlic flavor. They came out hot, crispy, and juicy - everything I crave of korean style fried chicken. I also enjoyed the cheesling fries. The flavor of the cheese dusting is subtly sweet, and nicely compliments the secret sauce. I picked up on a hint of cinnamon that nicely plays well with the cheese dusting. It's good alone, but I recommend it with ranch. Lastly, the rose ddeok-bokki. I ordered it after seeing another customer having some when I came in. It looked so good that I asked her what it was, and she raved about it. For me, it was a bit spicy. It's described as a fish and rice cake, but seemed more like a dense noodle in texture. It has a rebound to it that makes it chewier. It's for sure worth trying, especially if wanting something new or authentic. Pro Tip: bb.q is a no brainer for a weekend dinner run, especially for large parties. I was surprised to see such a cool spot in OTR with availability. As I dined, a large group came in and was quickly seated and served pitchers of beer. Shortly after, they're enjoying wings and watching the game. #winning I'll definitely be back and would recommend.

    I'm giving this four stars and possibly being a bit generous because the food is outstanding. The wing sauces are unique and the chicken itself tastes good. The sides are solid as well. It's pricy (think $15+ per person for lunch), but I don't mind if the quality stays high. The big issue here is service and timing. While the servers are extremely friendly, there is no indication that table service is available, and the "to-go line" frequently takes several minutes per person to move through. We went around 11:30 on a Friday and waited probably 20 minutes in line and another 60-75 minutes for our food. They were out of several items on the menu, and the fountain for drinks doesn't work, so they only have cans. There also does not appear to be any way to order ahead via phone or online, as multiple phone calls went unanswered. I'm hoping most of the critiques here are kinks that can be worked out in the process, because the food is worth it. But I would probably give it some time.

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or for a fun dining experience. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. He regularly checked in and changed our grill out as it got charred. If you order the Dinner hotpot, BBQ, or both you get access to the full menu. On weekends they make you do the dinner option, but it was great to try their different cuts of meat! The atmosphere was great: huge variety of sauces and toppings. The meat was very good quality. Maybe a bit on the lean side for beef but I preferred that given the volume of food. The premium beef short ribs and angus chuck flap tail had better marbling, very tender and delicious. The price was definitely worth it for the fresh good quality meat and produce options! Included in the all you can eat were some made to order appetizers, an Ice cream bar, and several premade desserts and appetizers at the cold bar which were also pretty good! Much better than the premade dishes you'd find at a traditional buffet. The nice thing about the location too is there are several shops around the center that you can mosey around before or after eating and make a whole day of it

I went for lunch and they weren't very busy, the server checked on me multiple times and made sure to ask regularly if I needed anything else including more Hot Pot items or drinks. She also promptly cleared any empty dishes which kept the table tidy. Since I chose the Hot Pot only option this time, they placed a grill cover over the grill to add extra table space which is a nice option to add extra space, especially if there's a big group and getting a lot of food plates. The dining room is always super clean and warm. The music can be a bit loud at times, but not too bad and it adds a little privacy to your table and group. For the food, I can say I always enjoy eating here and I love the Matcha Milk Tea with Tapioca Bobas. I usually go for the K Town Special Broth and fix it up with chili oil, a couple sauces, peppers, onions, and spices. The versatility of everyone being able to create what they like makes this place great for large groups.

If you are not expecting it, it can be a shock for sure. He would frequently check in on us and make small talk, give us recommendations on the menu, how to order, even so far as to grab our stone bowls after they were served to stir them. For me, it was overbearing and I was not a fan of someone touching utensils after we were served without asking but I ended up still giving 5 stars because he meant well. Right after he continued bringing dumplings and serving them to us just to be nice! No additional charge, and he would've continued making them unless we refused after bringing 2 whole orders. When he learned it was our friends birthday he brought out moonpies and a bag of some korean snack just for her, even though they dont have dessert on the menu. Even as you walk in, you'll notice from the decore that is very much a small business. You have a button to press to notify the owner you're there, get drinks, and a QR code to order. That being said the service is very timely, high quality fresh food comes out super hot, and he was very nice. Be aware of the social experience because that is a big part of the restaurant. Can be a positive or negative depending on your what you like.
