Me and my bf came in for dine-in right now on Friday at 7:10pm and the host turned us away and told us they were not taking any tables and only doing take out. We asked how long take out would be and he said "a long time, like 30 minutes." I saw the restaurant was mostly full but I'm not sure why we weren't given the option of waiting for a table at 7:10pm when the restaurant closes at 10pm. Decided to go somewhere else read more

I ordered my favorite food here golden original chicken and what surprise me is they gave me a sample side of coleslaw salad. That's so kind and generous. They still never failed me with the size and still hot of boneless chicken even I order it online and took for almost 20mins to delivered. Thank you to all the staff! Highly recommend this place. read more

bb.q Chicken Pasadena - Boneless original chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pasadena, California

Food-Pricy but worth the price for really tasty authentic Korean fried chicken. Hand Fried to order and takes 15-20 minutes at least. So a half order feeds about two people or one super hungry person. Only 1 leg per half order and the rest are wings mainly so there is that but nonetheless chicken is amazing and somehow not greasy. Chak chak and golden original are both incredible and addictive! There is no MSG added and no extra peppery or added spice on golden original. Simple but delicious. Pasadena spot-This location has become super busy- order first then pick up to avoid the wait. This location beats the one inside of Hmart Arcadia as far as the food goes however, the parking situation in Old Town Pasadena gets tricky with the lack of parking and one way streets, right turn only lanes etc. read more

Service was wonderful. Very friendly service. I received two more pieces of chicken than I had ordered and was also charged less than I expected for ranch sauce. The person taking my order was very helpful and nice. Chicken was pretty fantastic and the restaurant itself was very clean. read more

I was craving some tasty korean style fried chicken and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the cheeseling fries, honey garlic boneless, and original golden crispy wings. First of all the fries were addicting, its definitely a newer flavor for my taste buds.. the fries were dusted in a savory cheese type coating and had a sweet tangy saice mixed on top of that. In the end you get a dusty and saucy - tangy and savory experience and it was unique and tasty imo. Then the honey garlic boneless wings! Oh man these were delicious. Even though the wings were sauced it stayed NICE AND CRUNCHY even after sitting in the car to get home. The chicken is cooked perfect and i ate the whole serving. Perfect balance between honey and garlic flavor. Finally the original golden wings.. THESE WERE WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. The umami in the breading is soooo good, definitely unique and just a hint of spice. Oh the foavor of the breading is making me water just thinking about it.. chicken tasted fresh and cooked just right. Very satisfied with my experience here and I recommend everyone give it a shot! Next time ill be ordering the same as before and try a new flavor on top of that since everything has been a hit for me so far. The only downside was we had to pay 10$ for parking, even though we just picked up order in less than 15 min. Shame on you, pasadena. read more

We love love love fried or barbecue chicken. The name above the door here caught our eye and we could not resist giving it a try. We looked over the menu and ordered too much. We should never order when we are really hungry before realizing the risk involved. We picked out the Honey Garlic Boneless Wings, Hot Mala Boneless Wings, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Galbi Boneless Wings. The Galbi is a Korean classic with green onions, sesame seeds, and a smoky accent. This dish was very savory and delicious. The honey garlic wings have a sweetened flavor accenting the crispy well prepared wings. Yummy! The hot mala wings were SPICY with a nice sweetness. These were delightful. The final dish was the Rose Ddoek-Bokki featuring it's less spicy (compared to the menu partners Ddoek-Bokki and Mala Ddoek-Bokki) creamy base sauce with the rice cakes and fish cakes. We loved this version of the dish with its creamy subtle sweetness. So good. There are many fried chicken options out there and BBQ Chicken should be on your list of ones to sample. Well prepared and spiced choices that will entice you to come back for more. read more

Both my wife and I got food poisoning before our trip. Leaving 1 star because it almost ruined our trip.

Parking: It's not the easiest. I either park in one of the structures or metered parking Customer service: Really nice staff members. Food was served at a decent time. Food: We ordered their whole chicken half golden crispy/half hot spicy, rose rice cake, French fries. The chicken was crispy and juicy. I'm honestly craving it as I'm writing this review. We can't wait to try the other flavors!!! The rice cake was so delicious!!! And the fries were bomb too. They are pretty stingy with sauce (charge $1 for a small cup of ranch). Dranks: they have a nice variety of drinks available. Draft beers and plenty of soju flavors. Overall a really pleasant experience. Will be back for more! Just wished they were a little more generous with their sauces and the radish (less than a handful) that came with an order of whole chicken. read more

Ordered her twice- once dined in and once through Uber eats Pros - kimchi fried rice was good - fried chicken holds up well with delivery Cons - service is so so so slow. For dine in, we ordered two dishes. One dish came out first (kimchi fried rice) and we finished that and waited probably another 40 minutes for the order of boneless chicken. We sat for about an hour. And we were only one of three customers. They don't seem to notice how long their orders are taking - first time we tried the original and the flavor was okay but could also taste raw flour - second time the cook was better, but the chicken is so thin that you get mostly fried batter and sauce - secret sauce is so cloyingly sweet, no balance It always takes restaurants some time to get things running but this place has potential. Just not there yet. read more

My wife and I got so excited when this place was finally open for biz! We had Honey Garlic chicken on Sunday for late night snack. Fell in love. Very savory and crunchy. So we came back today for Rose ddukboki and spicy original wings... after dinner. Again, they were really good. I really like the spicy level for Rose DBK and Spicy Original wings, so I can't wait to try their other spicy chicken. It's perfect especially at the end of stressful day. Keep it up! read more

Bb.q Chicken is our favorite Korean chicken franchise with reliable great taste and consistency. The Pasadena location has a hip vibe with large seating area for both family and friends get-togethers for a drink, good food, and for watching sports games on their many screens. Definitely recommend for all occasions. Kimchi fried rice and half & half (orginal & secret sauce) chicken is always a great choice. The bar area is a cool hang out spot for games. read more

You can't go wrong with chicken from here which is always tasty as you'd expect for Korean style fried chicken! And they have lots of flavors, sweet, savory, spicy. My personal favorites here are the Honey Garlic wings and Golden Original whole chicken. If you have kids, they have many of the flavors for boneless option too (cheesling is my nephew's favorite). I also really like BB wings, which has a little bit spicy peppery kick. My husband who loves all things spicy gets the wings of fire or hot spicy chicken. Warning: super super hot! The restaurant is great space for families, friends and a casual date. The staff is very friendly. Given that they just opened, I'm sure they're still figuring out best service. I'd come back again!!! read more

This place is clean with lots of room compared to the other locations. Chicken is hot. fresh, crispy and delicious! Service was okay because the waitress was distracted with her cell phone nearly the whole time after we ordered. She never came back with our pickled radish which is part of our order. She also checked on us when we were nearly done eating. I had to ask the Bartender for the radish. But the chicken is moist on the inside and deliciously crunchy on the outside. Order the Gangnam style it won't disappoint. read more

Not crazy about the newer self service and to go packaging even though you are eating in the restaurant, this made eating feel kind of rushed and unwelcoming, it used to be nice to eat inside...BUT food is amazing and the price definitely right! read more

Great food with great flavors for the wings. Got the lunch combo so it was good for the portion

Original recipe was OK, not quite tender enough. The honey mustard was good. Secret sauce was not good at all. I couldn't put my finger on what the flavor was but it was a bit odd. Too saucy as well. Don't think i would go back read more

I'm a regular here and the servers were always super friendly and attentive. The set up of the store is nice and big. However, my most recent experience was not the best. There was another lady working who I've never seen before. She turned out to be the manager and as I had to stand in front of the counter for a few minutes before she got off her phone to help me out, I found it unprofessional and she was also rude. I would prefer not to see someone with such work attitude as it ruined my dining experience. read more

This place was the place I used to recommend everyone but both service and food quality has gone down since the opening. Chicken used to be so juicy with dark meat but these days I get more dry chicken. Original recipe was under seasoned last couple visits. Radish used to be included but now they charge extra for it. I usually pick up my orders and last time I came in there was no one at pick up station despite being directed to. One employee near pick up was cleaning food tray but didn't care to look up to get someone while I stood waiting. It took a while for someone to come. She said radish was never included. But every single visit prior, it was included in my orders was told they were w chicken order. Its very sad to see my favorite fried chicken place become a disappointment. I won't be recommending it anymore. read more

I am absolutely appalled by the horrendous quality of the food at this establishment! I specifically requested a whole chicken and was met with disappointment when one of the pieces turned out to be a bony hip covered in batter instead of actual meat. The chicken pieces, excluding the drumsticks, were indescribably bad. They were dry, tasted old, and lacked any flavor whatsoever. The Louisiana Fried Chicken joint at the corner of Fair Oaks and Washington offers much superior chicken - they just need to add some sweet chili sauce and it would be perfect. And let's not even get started on the dumplings they served - small, hard, and most likely store-bought frozen ones you can find at HMart for next to nothing. I've had more delicious dumplings from Costco at a fraction of the price I paid for this subpar meal. I am beyond furious at myself for wasting $91.00 on such mediocre chicken and sides. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are far superior KFC options in town that are much more affordable. What a waste of money on poorly prepared food made with cheap ingredients and chickens smaller than a pigeon. Unbelievable. Never again! And by the way, don't fall for the owner's deception, the website where you can provide feedback does not even work. It is clear that this individual has received more than enough criticism to address the issues plaguing his establishment, yet nothing changes. He is simply trying to squeeze as much money out of the restaurant without offering any value or service to the customers. I detest owners who belittle dissatisfied patrons by making empty promises of discussing the matter with the team and so forth. The reality is that this is how he runs his business and your feedback is simply disregarded. Furthermore, I have come across some of the so-called "positive" reviews which seem to have been generated by AI bots. Proceed with caution!ts. Thread carefully! read more

I went back again after 6 months to purchase the 8 piece original wings but the chicken still under cook and this time the Original Chicken Wings was sooooo spicyyyy!!! Why-Why? I thought it was just a kick with hint of spicyness!! I am again so disappointed read more

I have done-in here multiple times, and this is the first time I'm ordering for to-go. And the food portion got me so mad. I pay $20 for a box of 8 small chicken pieces. I feel like being taking advantage of ordering online so we couldn't complain on the spot. After we got home, we were so disappointed with the food quality. I really liked this place, but now I feel the restaurant is dishonest. read more

I lived in Korea and ate a lot of BBQ chicken there. I had to go to Ktown to eat BBQ chicken while living here, but I was happy to visit this place because it opened in a good location and close by. The crunchiness of the chicken eaten here and the taste of the moist chicken are fantastic. It is also the best of all chickens. The color is such a bright golden color! It is a blessing that the always delicious BBQ chicken has opened in this location! I only ate chicken this time, but next time I'm going to try Ddeok-Bokki together. Street parking around this store is lacking, but there are many public parking nearby, so it's convenient to park cheaply. read more

Ordered half n half (original n' secret spicy sauce). Food is prepared fresh! So it's crunchy n very delicious! The original is not salty and it goes with rice. The secret sauce is sooooo goood too! A tangy flavor. This place is better than Wings Stop and Buffalo Wild Wings! read more

This is only to bring whoever's attention that is in charge of quality management. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE your chicken and always order whole golden chicken with tteokbokki. But, please be careful how you keep tteokbokki when the weather is hot. This time it was very close to go bad. Please keep a special eye on it so that we can continue to enjoy your food. Your golden chicken is my comfort food. Thank you! read more

So much better than other choices for Korean fried chicken in Pasadena. Great value, 8 pieces easily feeds two people.
