Our go to local fried chicken spot! We usually go to the one in near copley but it's nice not to have to venture into Boston for some KFC. I've only ever been on a weekday so it's usually kind of empty but they have a nice karaoke set up so I feel like it would be super fun on the weekends! The food is consistently good - we always get the spicy golden chicken and mix it up with a wildcard flavor! We also recently tried the skewers with sausage and grilled rice cakes and that was really good! They have a lot of specials here that I haven't seen at other places! Like if you spend over $50 or something then you can pay $1 for a slice of cake we were too full to get it but we def will try next time read more

Food: Honey garlic wings were delicious! 11/10. The sauce was perfection. The original was quite dry. Service: Food was fast. Ambiance: We did pick up. read more

So glad a bb.q chicken opened up in Malden! This was my first time dining in at a bb.q chicken and the decor and vibes inside is great for a hangout with friends at any time of the day. We came on a Friday evening around dinner and it got packed quickly-- seems like everyone is excited for this place! It's a little chaotic as it's their opening week but food is tasty as expected. I was disappointed with our chicken portion though. We ordered a 8pc half chicken but was served 3.5 wings with a few chunks of chicken pieces. This is not what I would expect from a half chicken cut. Not sure if it was a mistake or a way to cut costs but we didn't get any pieces from the breast or thigh as we even got a drumstick cut in half. Update: have gone back a month later and things seem to be much more streamlined and consistent! read more

I am thrilled that a bbq chicken opened in Malden and happy it is soo close! I had been to a few in philly, but have to say this one out does the others. Incredible interior and decor with a really cool space for gatherings and fun. Also a bar! Food was perfect when we went. I got my favorite the honey garlic chicken as well as the fries. These always are extremely crunchy! The rest of the menu looks great too with good prices and a lot of tasty options I look forward to try. I highly recommend and will be back! read more

Nice place with really great food. My friend and I got the soy garlic chicken wings and sausage and rice cake skewers. For drinks we had the lychee martini and lychee rose. Definitely would come back. Nice ambience as well. Not too loud especially for a bar. read more

I would say this place is a solid 3.5 stars, so I am rounding up to 4. We have gotten take out a few times thus far and are consistently happy with their fried chicken. We usually order their Half & Half Wings and choose the Golden Original and Honey Garlic flavor. Love that even when we get it delivered, it still arrives warm and crunchy. The chicken has a crunchy and flavorful batter and the chicken is tender on the inside. My little ones enjoy it so that is also a bonus. The knockdown on the score is everything else on their menu that we've tried. My husband has tried their bulgogi rice bowl and he did not enjoy it. His words, it's "basic." We've also ordered their kimchi fried rice and honestly I don't recall any chicken in it, it was mainly kimchi and rice. I've also made kimchi fried rice at home before and it's not hard so if I am going to pay for it, I'd like for it to be memorable. This was not. We also ordered their so ddeok so ddeok and the rice cake was undercooked, so it was hard and inedible. I would recommend sticking to their wings and if you want to venture out to the rest of their menu, add it as a supplement vs. the actual meal so you can at least be confident that something will be good. read more

Looking for a local Korean fried chicken place and I think we found it. The chicken was crunchy and juicy! Made to order so hot and not overly battered. But the way they dressed the wings with the sauce was excellent, every nook and cranny had sauce! We tried the galbi and it was sweet with a hint of smoke. I got the side of pickled radish because I love it! We tried the cheesling fries, wasn't sure I would care for my fries to be dusted with cheese but the were tasty! They came with a drizzle of their special sauce and a sprinkle of scallions. I would say it's like eating Cheeto fries! I actually liked them too. This is definitely a place to eat in or take out if you want done fried chicken! read more

One star is too many. Avoid this place if you value your time. I placed an order for just two pieces of fried chicken, and they told me it would be ready for pickup in 25 minutes. I arrived on time, only to be forced to wait for over an hour. This is absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. If you can't handle the volume, don't give customers fake pickup times. Extremely poor management and zero respect for customers' time. Never coming back. read more

Ordered a pick up since it was easier for me and the kids to just eat somewhere to avoid them running around. This location just opened a few weeks ago and it's pretty new still. The inside area and dining area looks amazing! They have a huge tv screen which was so nice and cool. I ordered half spicy and half soy garlic chicken and I also got the kimchi fried rice. It was good and fresh and the chicken was nice and crispy. It was nice inside and spacious. Would love to dine in sometime when I'm not alone. read more

If you're craving Korean fried chicken in Malden, definitely check out BBQ Chicken. I've been a few times now, both dining in and getting takeout, and the quality has been consistently excellent. The chicken is always fresh and delicious, and the service is very friendly. They are efficient, too--I didn't have to wait long, even dining in. Quick note: I've tried the Quincy H Mart location, and I personally preferred the taste there just a bit, but honestly, this Malden location is super convenient and the food is still really, really good. It's the perfect choice when you don't want to make the drive! read more

Managerial staff need to be re trained. Terrible service; we arrived (party of four) and ordered, only to be usurped by an incredibly obnoxious party of 10 who walked in the door 10 minutes after us and were served full meals to all of them before we even got our appetizers. read more

Waiting for more than half hour even though I just ordered only 1 dish. Customer services so slow and always make the wrong note for food. They take back and stir-ry again. Just only burned smell and taste when they take back to me :))). Since they change employee or the people who work in kitchen. Their food got worst since 2 months ago. Dissapointed!!! read more

Call in to order ahead for dining they refused and it's find than I told them, I wanted to order pick up they say okey. Come into the store, to pick up my order and they didn't make my order. Out right that's just disgusting! I always tip good when I'd ate there. I don't what's that Asian ladies problem. read more

I remember when I was in NYC and I visited this spot in K-town- Love it . Went to the one in Boston - enjoyed it. I was excited to see one in my neighborhood and couldn't wait to try it. Yesterday I went in and the service was not there- I sat down the server took my order and everything was fine- waited about 30 minutes for my food to see half of my order came out. I order Bulgogi Rice bowl and small SPicy origianl chicken ( 8 pieces). The RIce bowl came out but not the chicken. Another guest came in and he order 16 pieces of chicken- Tell me why his chicken came out less then 10 minutes after ordering and I was still waiting for mine? At that point I lost my appetite. I saw the server cleaning tables and the food runner coming out with other guest foods. Still my ticket order wasn't complete. I immediately asked for the ticket and didnt' touch the food. The Server said wait a minute - left to the kitchen to than return with a basket of room temp fried chicken- said because I wanted it spicy it takes about 20 minutes longer- To which I said if that was the case then it should have been the first thing to have been cooked and not the last What happen? Was it forgotten and it wasn't rung in. By the look on her face I knew it was the later.... I informed her that I'm a professional chef so I know how the kitchen works- either it was forgotten in the window or it was rung is later. She apologized and said "My bad. Do you want to take it home?" Now I am thinking if I wanted take out I would have just ordered take out. I told her No thank you. I'll pay for it and just leave. and that I did. The only reason I paid for the meal because it wasn't the kitchens fault. Cooks will put out only what is presented to them. Front of the house team failed on their end. Wouldn't not come back to this spot ever. I mean at least in the other places they go by numbers - Oh yeah and that another thing - In the BBQ Chicken in NY and in Boston guest receive their complete ticket and not one item at a time. Which again clearly proved that she either forgotten to add my chicken order in or it was left in the window. Had she came and said " Sorry I forgot to add the chicken, or informed me ahead of time that my Fried chicken order will take a little longer- I would have been ok. But the fact that she did do non of the above and tried to play me like I was dumb - was an insult. $35 waste. read more

The food here is is wonderful. I usually get the golden crispy chicken wings and kim chi rice that they top with an egg. I had the dumplings and the onion rings, it's all good. Everything is top notch! I think this is the best place around town. I can't tell you how much I love this place! You will get your money's worth here. read more

Chicken is flavorful and crispy. May be the best takeout wing spot in Malden. Check it out!

It's nice to have a bb.q location instead of going into Boston for Korean Fried chicken. The service is usually great and food is pretty consistent. The different sauces at bb.q are great for those who don't like or unable to deal with spicy chicken like that of Bonchon. read more

I was so ecstatic when bb.q Chicken came to Malden as its near my job. I love going here on my Friday in office days. It hits the spot to relax and start my weekend. I always order the cooked to perfection spicy chicken always because it's crisp and hot and hits the spot! I've tried, the fries, waffle fries, and the tasty wontons. If you want the best Korean Fried Chicken, this is the place! read more

Great service and chicken! We order from here for our office functions all the time! The resturant is cool and an awesome place to eat and watch the game. read more

Very good food, and service is great. Great locations as well. The restaurant looks clean.

My friends and I were excited to try out this location, we ordered half & half-soy garlic & geontang. Chicken was good but a bit too much batter in my opinion. Fried dumplings were tasty. Lastly, the army stew was a huge disappointment, typically army stew comes in a big pot with lots of ingredients. Here, it's in a small sized pot, probably 1 pack instant noodles. Barely could feed 1 person. For $25, it's not worth the price. Lacks flavors and it didn't come out boiling hot. Just go for the chicken. read more

I work very close to this restaurant. I've watched every day as they prepared to open and the day finally arrived. I visited on 9/4/25 at lunch time to try the Korean Fried Chicken. I was not disappointed. I ordered the Soy Garlic and Special Sauce flavors. The flavors were delicious, I preferred the Soy Garlic. loved that the chicken was hot and crunchy. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice I'd like to visit in the evening to check out the vibe. Next I want to try the Korean Beer and the Fried Dumplings. read more

Decent food but if I'm ordering takeout for wings I should expect wings, not boneless. Unfortunately not the first time it's happened. I'd avoid this place. At the price they're charging the least they could do is get the order right. read more

Chicken was tasty and portion was good. Also their Rose' Ddeok-Bokki was good too. However would not get drinks from their alcohol menu again. It think it was $13 dollars for a small glass. In my opinion, was not worth it. read more

Chicken wings were warm but not soft enough to enjoy crispiness. Overall, it was flavorful

I really like the fried chicken here, especially the cheesy flavor, and I also love the cheesy tteokbokki.

The original chicken wings are on point with a little kick added for good measure. They also have a bar and play K-Pop videos.

Must try the spicy galbi! So crispy and flavorful. Very surprised wet wings can be this crispy.

Best korean chicken in malden. Cook vibe and ambiance in with the karaoke bar. Servers were nice and fast.

BBQ Chicken blew my mind -- this isn't just fried chicken, it's a religious experience. The skin is so perfectly crisp it literally shatters, and the meat underneath stays impossibly juicy. The spicy flavor hits like fireworks, the soy garlic is pure magic, and even the smell makes you weak. I swear they must use some kind of divine oil. I would fight for another bite. 10/10, would sell my soul for that crunch. Best Korean fried chicken on earth -- no debate. Service is the best and the ambiance too. read more

i really liked the ambiance in the restaurant, it's a fun atmosphere. the staff was so sweet. my friend got soy garlic wings and really enjoyed them but the rose ddeok-bokki was incredible. one of the best i've had from a restaurant in the boston area. read more
