Food is good, but overpriced and confusing menu. Is it worth it? Maybe once in a blue moon. The fried chicken are authentic SK fried chicken, and they follow the recipe from the chain. I get that this is a franchise but the way the menu set up is confusing, certain sauce is only allowed with certain "cuts" of chicken. It doesn't allow customers much control. Ambience is that it only is 1/8 full usually, maybe 1/2 full when busy during the weekend. I think the price, slow service and confusing menu play big part in how it fails to hit the mark read more

bb.q Chicken - Fried Hot Spicy Whole Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dublin, California

Service was great, the staff are very sweet. Our total was almost $70. We got two cans of coke, a draft beer, rose Ddeok- bokki, ramen & a bulgogi bowl. The ramen: I know Korean and Japanese Ramen are different. I just didn't expect it to lack flavor. The best way to describe it was watered down instant noodles. Bulgogi bowl: lacked flavor. Rose Ddeok-bokki was delicious & wasn't too spicy, our daughter enjoyed it. I know they're probably known for their fried chicken but once we got there we decided to try the other items on the menu as they sounded appetizing at the time. Overall we look an L & it's okay. read more

We visit this location often. Usually order ahead on the app for pick up and by the time I get there, the food is already done. Today (6/18), we ordered ahead like usual. Got there everything was sitting there ready except the pasta. Apparently that was what they chose to cook last. Given the fires and chicken were sitting and waiting. What should have been a 15 mins wait turned into a 30 min wait. Granted the place was not even busy. Everyone we asked on the update. We were told the pasta is in the pan. Not sure how long does it take to throw pasta and sauce together. Just hoping in the future, they have better time management. read more

I got the rose ddeok bokki and it's really good. I enjoyed it a lot. The space is clean and spacious. I just took off a star because they brought out the wrong order but they fixed it quickly! read more

We were very disappointed with our order today. The spicy bulgogi chicken wings were not properly coated in sauce and were missing the green onions that normally come with the dish. The japchae was also very poorly executed--dry, lacking flavor, missing basic ingredients like carrots and not up to the quality we have come to expect. The soy garlic wings were mediocre and fell short of their usual standard. We have been loyal customers of this location since it first opened, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. We've always enjoyed the food here, but today's order was noticeably below the quality we've received in the past. We hope this feedback is taken seriously and that greater attention is paid to consistency and quality moving forward. read more

A good casual place for large groups. Appreciate that they provide gloves to eat the chicken! read more

Great chicken I really enjoy it! It's not dry and very flavorful. I asked if there's a different amount of chicken for boneless or bone-in option and the cashier looked at me confused. I asked questions about the menu and the cashier was kind of rude and dismissive. So unfortunate for a great spot. read more

bb.q Chicken - Half & Half Boneless -- Secret Sauce Boneless and Golden Original Boneless - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dublin, California

I've tried the chicken at their San Jose location and have been hooked since. I was so happy when I saw the signage come up initially and so glad they're here in Dublin now (I CAN GET EM CLOSER NOW!). My cousin called in for a pick up order since the online ordering system was a little weird, wouldn't let us select a flavor for the chicken or add to cart. For a Saturday night, I do expect things to be a bit busy... but when we got there, they were just missing 1 item from our order for about 30mins. Granted there were a lot of to-go bags sitting and people just trickling in to get them, so do expect a wait for to-go orders for a busy night. The place itself looked very clean and staff just busy on the go. I cannot get enough of the Secret Sauce and the Gangnam Style, Soy Garlic and Honey Garlic too; an order of Golden Original is needed too... specifically to go with their Rosé Ddeok-Bokki/ Tteokbokki. As much as I also love wings, their boneless option is such a hearty piece that I have to at least have one with each order. Overall, I honestly don't have anything but good to say about the chicken, here and the SJ location - I've always had good orders, perfectly crispy and sauces as I would expect. As for the Rosé Ddeok-Bokki/ Tteokbokki, I wish I can just order the sauce alone to dip with Golden Original chicken... it's the perfect combo of creamy, flavorful and a little bit of spice! Final Thoughts: It can be a bit expensive here when ordering a few items, but I see it worth as an occasional treat for a delicious hearty meal. I cannot wait to get the Rosé Ddeok-Bokki/ Tteokbokki again (my cousin was so right that this was absolutely needed). read more

Ok chicken, good for to take out order and dine in. Bit pricey but I like their spicey chickens and beers. So perfect match for dinner.

It's mainly fried chicken not barbecued. Got a whole chicken with secret sauce and original. The secret sauce was way too heavy and sweet. You might like it if you have a sweet tooth. The original was unremarkable. Not satisfying for the price. Service was as great. Friendly workers. Clean tables and basic, comfortable dining area. read more

Popped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised with the eatery! The staff were all very pleasant, the food is fresh and tasty the bone-in wings are delish and the kimchi fried rice was amazing. Definitely recommend this spot for a quick fresh and tasty bite! read more

Being a Korean Chicken fan, this place is good. The chicken has a good crunch and the breading is delicious. There's a lot of flavors to choose from which is great because you typically don't get that many options. There's many options for sides, the japchae bulgogi is a good side choice. I will say, if you want to try a bunch of things, make sure you go with a group cuz the dishes are fairly pricey. Theres plenty of tables and it's clean. The staff is friendly and the food although we were told of a 15-20 min wait, came out pretty quickly. Overall if you're looking for Korean chicken that isn't your usual spot, try this place, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

If you sort the reviews my newest first I noticed a large amount of the 5 star reviews are from accounts with just one review. I feel like they are paying for fake reviews. I recently went to the Dublin location and let me tell you these wings aren't for your average joe. Be prepared to spend some $$$. Two of the small orders of wings. Fries and two drinks. $80 I wanted to love the wings but all I could think about is how much money I just spent on overpriced wings. I'd rather go to Asconas pizza in Danville/Blackhawk for some quality wings. Never again! read more

If you want flavor packed Korean Fried Chicken, this ain't it. I felt like I was eating the ghost of soy garlic, the ghost of Gangnam flavored chicken. I couldn't even really taste the difference between the flavors, to be honest. The base of the chicken itself was actually decent. It arrived crispy, it was juicy but the actual sauces were lacking. I don't know if they just didn't put enough, because to be honest it didn't quite look like the pictures, but whatever they did it was not what I wanted or expected in terms of flavor. The overall size of the chicken is pretty decent and again the the cook is pretty good. It's pretty crispy, however the taste, the flavor, and the sauce was sorely lacking, and to have paid nearly $45 dollars for what amounted to 16 pieces of plain fried chicken wings has me regretting my dinner choice. read more

I had no issues with the food or cleanliness with this particular bb.q Chicken. The bulgolgi fried rice was decent, and the galbi flavored Korean fried chicken was delicious. The reason my review is one star and not five star is because I arrived at the restaurant around 9:10pm, placed my order by 9:15pm, and was provided the option of dine in or to-go. I chose dine-in and was never told that this would be an issue. I received the fried rice about 10 minutes after placing my order and finished eating most of the fried rice. Around 9:40pm I received my Korean fried chicken in a to-go box and was informed that the chicken is to-go since the restaurant is no longer doing dine-in for the day so I received a to-go box for the remainder of the fried rice and went somewhere else to finish the rest of my meal. The restaurant hours show that the restaurant closes officially at 10pm, so this ended up being a disappointing and upsetting experience. If it were 10pm when this happened, I would have had no issues with being told to leave. I would have had no issue with initially being told that I was only able to-go, and that they were no longer taking orders for dine-in. But being told I could no longer dine-in halfway through my meal, and 20 minutes before the restaurant officially closes is unacceptable. read more

This was my first time to buy a to go meal in this new location . The young male staff insisted that I should sit down and wait even though I was not hungry. I needed a to go order. He said that I could eat first then kept the left over in to go box for later. I asked for plain cold water as other tables have a jar of cold water . He persuaded me to get one bottle water . I later switched it to a coke and I took out my own ice water in my thermo . Food came out in 5 minutes , not 15 minutes as the staff mentioned . There were plenty of chicken , 6 big pieces of boneless chicken and small size onion rings . The onion rings were nicely made with big pieces of onion inside . The boneless chicken is the only choice for lunch combo . The chicken was marinated to perfection. Inside was juicy and very tender ! However , the coating was kind of " wet "and not crispy . May be this is the Korean style . I was able to eat only 1 piece and I took the rest home and another box for the onion rings. I waited 5 minutes to air out the food before I boxed them . It took me 30 minutes to go home but the bottom of the boxes pm were all wet . It was strange that fried chicken had so much water content . I have had Korean fried chicken in Southern California. I don't recall that they are so" wet " . The taste of the chicken was excellent , not too salty and not too blank , just hit the spot! However, a few bites of the boneless chicken had a strange taste ( kind of like chicken hormones taste but I was not sure ) . It tasted like that in some bites and none in other bites . I would return to try the wings with bone next time . This place is very clean and nicely decorated. It has wide glass window to overlook the street . Plenty of parking near by . Service is good and they are helpful . Inside temperature was warm. It was around 11:45 am . I think they should open the doors to get better ventilation. I visited the bathroom. It was just been cleaned and mopped. But they did not dry it with towels or use the mopping pad to dry it . It was very slippery and I could see thin layer of water . I sincerely hope that this BBQ Korean chicken will keep on getting better and wish them success in the near future. read more

First off, the chicken here are amazing!!!!! My favourite flavour of sauce is Gangnam style bec it is not crazy spicy it is a good blend of spicy and semi sweet. I prefer boneless for myself so all my orders have always been that. Today, I'm ordering the secret sauce. I'm hoping that's good too. The prices here are very reasonable. The servings are huge. The small size can be for 2 people so for $17.99 that's just 10/person. You can't beat it! The pickled radishes here are really good and they give you a fair amount. More than BonChon. Thought I've never eaten here, because my orders are all take away, the place is always clean and comfortable. The cashiers are knowledgeable and can describe the food very well. I also like the fact they play kpop. I wish this place well and hope they last because this is quality chicken in my book! read more

Decided to try a newish Korean place in Dublin based on positive reviews and a fan of their chicken. It is located at an old Starbucks location with a small lot and some street parking. The dining area was clean, with a utensil station on the right of the cashier, and sizable dining area with nice ambiance. They even have dining gloves for those extra messy sauces. Placed an order to go with nice service and they dropped it off at our waiting table. The two of us ordered the Ddeok-Bokki rice + fish cakes & Galbi boneless chicken with fries + drink lunch combo. The Ddeok-Bokki was very flavorful and rich with a little kick of spice, had a nice chewy texture, and strands of cheese playing tug of war between the fork and bowl. The Galbi chicken was very savory, sweet, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, huge, well battered pieces, with an abundance of Galbi sauce blanketing each. The fries were nicely coated and crisp. The portions of each dish were filling and could easily be divided into two meals if you split them in half. Note that the Lunch Combos R ate only available during weekdays. Overall, a wonderful 1st impression. We will be back to try more. A bit on the pricey side, but the quality, taste, and service doesn't disappoint. read more

We came on a Sunday late lunch. No traffic at all. Plenty of parking. Food wait was a little longer than usual but it means they all freshly made. Half and half chicken was delicious. The secret sauce was right on spicy level for us. To compare the original crispy was a little blandness. However the creamy tteokbokki was too spicy for us to handle. We will try something else next time. read more

We're so happy this place opened up! If it's your first time here, just a heads-up -- you place your order at the counter, then grab a seat and they'll bring the food to you. We ordered the sweet and sour 8 piece boneless, which was sooo good, and the rose tteokbokki with cheese -- also delicious, though a bit spicy for us. They also served ginger pickle on the side, and it paired perfectly with the food! Customer service was great, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The only downside was that the restroom could've been cleaner. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back! read more

Order at the counter and find a seat style. Food is brought to the table. Seating area was clean and plates/ utensils are self serve. Chicken wings are huge, perfectly moist, and very well seasoned. The tteokbokki was nice and chewy. Food was very hot and fresh. Partner thought the employee at the counter had the GenZ stare and response, or lack thereof, haha, not very friendly or courteous. Otherwise, the food was good! read more

Very Satisfying! Ordered the Half & Half (Secret Sauce) Whole Chicken and they were both really good. They hit the mark on flavoring their chicken exactly how BBQ Chicken tastes in Korea. People have commented that they took too long, but my to-go order came out faster than they mentioned. The only reason I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because they missed a drumstick in the "Whole Chicken". In Korea, when you order Whole Chicken(통닭) the first thing you do is count for two wings, two drums, pieces of breasts, and the neck (unfortunately in america the neck is not usually served) lol. read more

A little cold in the restaurant but the food was great. Service hard to judge but she took our order and brought out faster than expected. They seem to get a lot of to go orders. We got the 1/2-1/2 whole chicken with golden original and secret sauce. Chicken is one of the best around in terms of fried chicken. I thought the flavor of the secret sauce was ok. Not spicy. Fries are surprisingly good and the rose ddeok-boki with cheese was great. read more

Clean environment, cooked to order and the cashier was helpful with explaining to a 1st timer. I went with the honey garlic chicken and chicken fried rice. I like the touch of having plastic gloves out for the messiness. It's a bit expensive ($40 before tip) so I was happy to see the chicken pieces were larger than anticipated. I'd definitely go back to try other chicken types, but I'd likely opt for the fries. read more

Omgoodness this place has finally opened in the Dublin Area! Needless to say it was definitely worth the wait! Chicken here is sooooo crispy and juicy and the flavor is amazing!

This one hits the spot everytime with the sweetness of the honey that well balances with the kick of garlic at the end Kimchi Pasta: is a must try! Well cooked pasta with a creamy hint of Kimchi Hot Spicy Wings: maybe I am weak but this was really hot for me but great Service was top notch, was greeted immediately upon coming in and was helped by a cashier named Grace.

They have definitely improved their wait time for orders but the chicken just isn't as good anymore - the batter used to be crunchy even when it was drenched in sauce - the batter now is more soggy and lost its crunch Do not order the bulgogi rice - looks nothing like the photo online - it may have had a rough ride home but I don't think I can shake the portions out of the box - for $16.99 before taxes, it came with a scoop of rice, handful of beef pieces that were overcooked and a big bed of vegetables - so I sent the photo to the store and asked if someone ate out of it and they said no one ate out of it but it looked like it was "shaken from commotion" during the car ride and offered store credit that I have yet to get - to the store owner, pls update the photo online so people can have less of an expectation when they order this item and not be disappointed read more
