    Soy Garlic Boneless
    Alex L.

    The super crispy outside is what makes this place special. I recommend the soy garlic or honey garlic, those are my favorite flavors. This place is great for a casual dinner!

    I'll start by saying I love bb.q chicken- tried several locations and they're honestly pretty comparable. I knocked off a star because I thought the breading on the chicken was really thick and almost greasy- kinda heavy on the stomach, but still a satisfying meal overall. I tried the galbi flavor for the first time and loved it! It's maybe one of my favorite flavors.

    Yummy. It's a chain so everything is pretty standard but they make high quality chicken. I am not someone who handles head all that well and their chicken is naturally a little hot but still very yummy :)

    Finally got to eat in person and wow, it's DELICIOUS. We always get bone in chicken wings and they never disappoint. I have never gotten a dry wing from this place. The food is always made to order, chicken is always perfectly juicy and tender, and the flavors are chef's kiss. Their non chicken dishes are also super delicious -- you can't go wrong with your order! They also have gloves, plates, and napkins ready, which makes sharing super clean and convenient. I highly recommend coming to this location if you're looking for Korean fried chicken. The Kenmore location is definitely better than the Allston and Chinatown locations.

    Now, the side of their hot spicy sauce (didn't want the chicken drenched) was spicy, but too sweet for me. On its own, this delivers very well, they have special packaging that vents it so it doesn't come as a soggy mess. Since I wasn't much of a fan of the hot spicy sauce, I added my own stuff (I recently discovered Momofuku chili crunch, and been adding it on a bunch of things, including this!) Great crunch on the outside, seasoning (even without the chili crunch, its well balanced) , and juicy on the inside. Did I just pay $25 (including delivery) though to eat 8 pieces of boneless chicken? Apparently yes, and I would do it again (on occassion, $25 is a lot for fried chicken).

    We've ordered from this location twice now, here's my review. The good: - the original chicken always tastes good, crispy and fresh. The not so good: - a bit on the expensive side - either there's no way to order it mild/less spicy or they just ignore customizations - I've order the chicken sandwich 3 times and every time I ordered it without sauce, every time it has sauce. Why have that as an option if you're going to ignore the request? - even the fries are spicy I wish they would consider the fact that not everyone has the same spice tolerance.

    Great option for friends gathering and birthday parties - love the tenderness and flavor of the wings - my absolute favorite was the cheese one Will definitely order again when I'm in Boston

    Great food - crunchy and savory Ordered original & sweet spicy. Original has always been good Sweet&Spicy is bit too sweet but also great

    Ddeokbokki

    The best Korean friend chicken for Boston. I have been searching long and hard for the title, and Bb.q chicken currently holds the lead. After having tried this restaurant more than 4 times, the quality has always been consistent. Food I've tried: - HONEY GARLIC WINGS (Small 8 pcs - $16): perfectly crispy, the batter is thick enough to hold the sauces but not enough to overwhelm the tender meat inside. Flavor is as it sounds, the sweetness of the honey being balanced well with the strong presence of the garlic. - SECRET SPICY WINGS (Small 8 pcs - $16): I would not call the sauce spicy, but more of tangy. It is balanced with a sweetness. In general I like to order both the honey garlic and secret spicy to alternate, as the flavors complement each other very well. Both chicken order came with a little side of pickled radishes. - DDEOKBOKKI ($12): very standard ddeokbokki for Boston. Portion is an appetizer size. The highlight of the meal is definitely the chicken. Atmosphere: - I ordered takeout so I cannot comment. Service: - I ordered takeout so I cannot comment. Overall: - My rating stands only on the chicken, as that would be the primary reason anyone would go to this place. The sides are ok, but the chicken is beautiful. If you've never had Korean fried chicken before, this place is a good sampling.

The portions were large and all of the food tasted fresh, very flavorful, and came out hot. Although the restaurant seemed unassuming this was probably one of my favorite bibimbaps I've ever had. The staff were also very nice and apologized for the wait. They come and collect your plates when finished. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the area even though parking can be a bit tricky!

The sashimi was fresh. Everything was great. I'm not a Korean food connoisseur so not sure about lower ratings on here but from my understanding it is inspired by family style meals. That being said I think the smaller portions + multiple plates meant for sharing are perfect and makes for a fun meal that leaves you at a satisfied full. As for comments on authenticity while I cant comment much on that I feel this always varies as families across regions of any country have their own influences and versions of meals.

While I appreciated small touches with being able to put your jackets in a plastic bag under your seat, everything else fell a bit short. The quality of the meats and produce was a bit disappointing. The onion our server used to flavor and start our grill with looked dry, the pumpkin seemed to have a bit of frost as though it were frozen, and the overall quality of the meat was a bit lackluster. Even towards the end of our meal, even when our server told us the meat was ready, a couple of pieces were still raw. The banchan was not bad and the bibim naengmyeon we had was probably the best part of our meal. Sadly I don't think we'll be back based on our experience.

We ordered the cheese topokki (soft rice cake, fish cake, vegetable, & mozzarella in Korean spicy sauce) & the beef bulgogi bowl (fried marinated beef, vegetables, steamed rice & side of soup). The cheese topokki was just as good as we remembered - chewy, flavorful, comforting, & a little bit weird. The cheese was poorly distributed, but it was still very tasty. The beef bulgogi bowl was really underwhelming. Firstly, it was very little food. We were promised vegetables, but there were only a few scarce onions & zucchini pieces mixed in. It was also dry. It was devoid of moisture & sauce, so we added some from the fridge at home. The side of soup was a joke. It filled only about 2/3 of the container & looked so sad, we wondered if it was the sauce that we we so desperately needed. Nope, just a meager amount of watered down miso soup. So the conclusion - great topokki, sub-par bulgogi, non-existent soup.
