Whenever I'm in the mood for some korean fried chicken, this is the spot! This is more than enough for me (you can always a side of rice) and I always leave happy. You order at the counter and the service has always been great for me. I normally eat inside the restaurant and it's normally not too packed, even during dinner! read more

bbq.chicken is my all time favorite Korean Fried Chicken. The Cupertino location is my frequented spot but decided to give the Sunnyvale location a try since I was nearby. I ordered the boneless chicken for pick up and came home to a surprise with the hot & spicy chicken which had little to no sauce. I was disappointed when items were opened at home to find minimal effort put in. I'm not sure about this location but I recommend everyone check their food before leaving. read more

Our group of 6 pre-ordered ~25 minutes prior to arriving on a Thursday evening and it was perfect timing. Food was still hot when we arrived. There are booths for dine-in. We asked for water cups but the cashier said they do not provide that. Alternatively, there is a fridge with canned and bottled drinks. There are also some alcohol options like beer and soju. We got 30 total of the honey garlic, soy garlic, and original wings and it was a good amount for our family because we had the kimchi fried rice and rose ddeokbokki as well. The wings are crispy and flavorful; I especially liked the honey garlic and am glad it wasn't overly sweet. Kimchi fried rice was fragrant and had chicken in it as well, although the chicken in the fried rice wasn't anything amazing. The rose ddeokbokki had a nice seared fragrance to it as they torched the cheese. I loved the creaminess of it! Pretty well-kempt and efficient service! Will likely come back. read more

Food at this location always delivers especially their rose ttetbokki. Chicken came out crispy per usual and was yummy. What wasn't fantastic is the service here. It's unfortunate since this location is the one that closes later but the workers here work like they hate you. I dined in with my friend and off first impression both the host are sitting down on their phones. Mind you there are 3 other tables being sat so it's not dead. After ordering they told us to pick any seat which is fine but when sat there was no water offered. It was only after the food came i had to walk up and ask them for water which they promptly handed but with an annoyed look on their face and no words exchanged. good food, subpar service that can heavily be worked on to elevate this location. read more

I had been told about this place and was excited to go. When we entered the lady at the front was taking stuff from her mouth and putting it on a napkin right at the front counter. We were just a little confused in the ordering process and instead of helping she started gossiping in Spanish to her coworkers, about how long we were taking to order, not knowing that we spoke Spanish. There was no line and only one other customer in the restaurant so I'm not sure why she was rushing us. The bathrooms were gross trash spilling out every where, no paper towels, no seat liners. Again only one other customer in the place but they left the tables dirty they were unbiased still covered with the previous guest leftovers. The food was ok but the price of 8 wings for 18.99 with no sides or a drink and only one flavor is appalling. Definitely will not be returning read more

Wings are great here. We usually go to Bon Chon for our chicken, but have changed our mind, with our visit being the 1st. They do a lot of takeout here, but it was great takeout. We will be back! read more

I first tried bb.q Chicken in Seoul and was so excited to see more locations opening in the Bay Area. The chicken here is super crispy with large, satisfying pieces. They offer a wide variety of flavors, which makes it fun to try different options. Dishes we tried: - Half and half whole chicken: We chose half original/half spicy. The spicy had a solid kick, which I enjoyed, but I preferred the original because it stayed crispier without the sauce. - Gangnam style wings: These had a black pepper garlic sauce that had an amazing flavor. Liked this more than the half and half chicken. One thing to note is that the menu says these are wings, but our order also came with drumsticks. I did not mind, but I do prefer wings for the extra crispiness. - French fries: Perfectly crispy with a generous portion. We asked for a side of cheese powder and loved dipping the fries into it. There is plenty of parking and lots of indoor seating. You place your order at the counter, and the staff brings the food to your table. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I also noticed you can order electronically from your seat, which is a nice option. Lots of people were picking up takeout as well. Overall, a great place to satisfy your Korean fried chicken craving. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. read more

Bbq Chicken is my go-to for good KFC and this location is my absolute favorite in the South Bay! The chicken is always super fresh and piping hot. The service is top notch and I haven't had a bad experience here, whether eating in-store or taking to-go. My usual order are the golden original, spicy original wings (used to be called bb wings, I swear), and rose ddukbokki. Bbq chicken is known to fry their chicken in olive oil, which you can taste in the batter. I recently got to try the cheeseling fries and I liked it a lot. It comes covered in hot sauce and cheese powder. My favorite KFC spot and I'll be back again and again! read more

These are probably one of the best Korean wing places I've ever eaten at in the Bay. Stopped by here a couple weeks ago on a Saturday evening and it was decently busy. Most people did order just for takeout. For 2 girlies, we ordered the small (8 wings) in both the soy garlic and the secret spicy flavors, along with some fries and a bottle of soju. WOW. I've never had a wing flavor here I don't enjoy. The wings are nicely fried and crispy, the sauce is flavorful without being overwhelming. The fries? Same thing. I love their batter. My only slight gripe here is the price. It is a bit pricey, especially compared to American wing stop. But considering that the wings are fairly large, it doesn't deter me from coming here. Service: 4/5 Food/Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 read more

We were craving some Korean fried chicken and let me tell you, this stuff is amazing. Crispy, tasty, hot, and delicious!

First off the food is good so I frequently come here. But it is absolutely infuriating when you order pick up and then you show up at the allotted pick up time and the food is 10 minutes late and you see half the order comes out and then 20 minutes later after half of your food is cold. The other half finally comes out and in the meantime, you look at the tickets hanging on the wall and all of the tickets that were ahead of you and behind you get cleared out why is it so hard Why is it so hard to complete orders in the order they were received. Why is it so hard to complete a single order at the same time instead of half of it late and the other half very late read more

I am a huge fan of this Korean fried chicken establishment! I will have to admit, after eating their fried chicken glazed with honey garlic and fresh from the fry, I have to admit, this is better than Bon Chon. I ordered an 8pc wing plate with a side of white rice. OMG this was phenomenal! The flavors of the salty and sweetness mix were everything. The chicken wings are huge in size with a nice crispy outer later which is always a plus. These wings have a lot of meat in them too so it's worth it. I already want to come back for these. For about $18. these are pricey but worth every bite. My wife and I also paired the wings with their cheesy powdered fries; these were delish! I enjoyed everything including dining inside. The food takes some time so expect to wait a short bit since these are freshly made. The inside of the restaurant is a bit dark with limited lighting and they're playing awesome K-Pop music in the background. I'm really glad they opened up here. I can't wait to come back again for more! read more

This was my first time trying this place after hearing very good. Honestly the chicken is very mid. The original golden flavored chicken was very similar to your typical american chicken (like KFC) but 2x the price. If you plan on coming here with a group, consider getting the whole chicken for a better price, but you are limited two flavors which included the original golden flavored chicken and the sweet/tangy golden or the hot&spicy. We ended getting the original golden chicken and the hot&spicy chicken. Original golden chicken: 3 stars out of 5 stars. Jollibee chicken is better and cheaper. Hot & Spicy chicken: 3 starts out of 5 stars. Very very spicy flavor which over powered the taste of the fried chicken read more

bb.q Chicken Sunnyvale - Half & Half Whole Chicken (original golden / hot & spicy) - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Ordered 2 if the all day meal specials -- 1 spicy bulgogi and 1 gangjeong. We also added a side of cheesling powder to add to our fries. There were a variety of drink options in the fridge and we went with milkis and jarritos. The food came out after about 10 minutes and was piping hot. The food came in baskets and they also gave us some paper trays to move the food to if we didnt want to eat directly from the basket. The table also has a basket to put your bones in. The chicken tasted great! I've had bb.q in Korea before and only had the original so I was excited to try out their other flavors. Flavor was great, but I do wish the chicken was more crispy, it was a bit on the softer side. On the other hand, the fries were perfectly crunchy -- cheesling powder elevated it and I would definitely recommend it. We also got pickled radish which is the classic palate cleanser. Overall, super satisfied with my first bb.q experience here in the states! My friend wanted to go out for KFC and I was super excited to show him this spot. He was definitely skeptical because it's a like a food chain, but I reassured him it's actually good and luckily I was right. Would come again! read more

bb.q Chicken Sunnyvale - Spicy Galbi Boneless Gangjeong Boneless French Fries - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I really wanted to like this place because I've heard good things about it, but to be honest this is one of the few restaurants I've disliked, and I'm not a picky eater. The other reviews about the service are accurate. The host/waitress was on her phone when I came in, and didnt give us water or take us to our seat :( When we asked for water she looked annoyed and when we asked about the menu she spoke with a little disdain. I don't expect service workers to be hootin and hollerin and they don't even have to smile at me but she didn't look like she wanted to speak at all. Maybe she was just having a bad day. The interior is nice and clean, and it's fairly quiet in there, but the food I don't really like. Their tteokbokki is alright, but their fried chicken has a one dimensional flavor in my opinion. It's either really sweet or it just tastes like meat. And the portion sizes are pretty small despite the price. I think bonchon is better. read more

Got tired of BonChon and was craving KFC and although I was a bit hesitant because of the prices, I gave in. Ended up getting the soy garlic and golden original. Golden original was like KFC chicken, but way better. The chicken was so fresh and juicy and in my opinion a huge step ahead of BonChon. If you're looking for a new KFC spot to check out, give these guys a shot. read more

bb.q Chicken Sunnyvale - Soy garlic & Golden original - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The chicken is always delicious. I will say, I personally prefer ordering whichever flavor chicken you get, with the sauce served on the side, so that the chicken stays as crispy as possible. The lady at the front/behind the counter is the cutest, such a sweet lady - service is always great. Remember to sign up for the membership to earn points with your purchases. If you're going to get the small size of boneless wings, get the "all day meal" special instead (2x of them), cause you get 2 drinks included that way. Also, look for the "OPEN" sign instead of trying to gauge whether the lights are on or not by looking through the heavily tinted glass in the front of the restaurant. Bathrooms are clean, though perhaps feel a bit too big (but empty) for the space. Will come back for sure! read more

This was a pickup and ordered via phone. The phone was AI which was pretty cool. Overall taste of the chicken was great. I'm taking 1 star away bcs they messed up on my order. I ordered the spicy original and soy garlic but when I took it home I was disappointed that one of my order was just original not the soy garlic. I tried calling back but unfortunately since it's an AI they transferred me to the store but no one picked up. The staff were fast and efficient.

There are ample parking spots available. read more

Love the Korean fried chicken from here. Usually I prefer bone in wings but the boneless chicken at bb.q is also good -- very moist and saucy. I highly recommend the gang jeong flavor for something sweet and spicy. I order from here regularly and get consistently well fried chicken! read more

I honestly was so let down by my experience with bb.q chicken, especially after seeing the 4.2 average rating on Yelp. I walked in around 9:20 PM on a Thursday night, and placed an order for 8 boneless wings to-go. The order took over 30 minutes to complete, which was honestly astonishing, especially compared to many other fried chicken places like Bonchon or Wingstop or literally any other restaurant, where the wait time for an order like that is shorter. But let's give bb.q chicken the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's fresher, higher-quality, and better tasting than other places. NO. Actually the worst chicken I've had in my life. Frozen fried chicken from my local grocery store literally tastes better for a quarter of the price. The chicken was SO unbelievably DRY that it was difficult to chew. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Craving for some Korean fried chicken? I was and after some Yelp searches, went to try bb.q Chicken in Sunnyvale. Casual place to have a lunch, snack, or take home for a gathering. Very flavorful, temperature hot, and satisfying! I can't recall which type I had, but it was something not too wild or spicy. Location is in a strip mall but on the very far end, so it could be easily missed. read more

bb.q chicken is a Korean chicken chain restaurant specifically in the bay area. We stumbled upon it by accident, and it definitely was a different experience than most. First and foremost, I was really torn between three and four stars for this review, and erred on the side of generosity by giving it four stars. Whether you're dining in or getting take away, all food is ordered at the counter located when you walk right in the door. What I love about chicken that is prepared Korean style, is that when given a choice between wings versus boneless, always go with the boneless. Why? Because whole pieces of chicken thighs, etc. are deboned and what you're getting is a generous piece of chicken. I'm generally not a fan of boneless chicken, but Korean is absolutely the exception. We ordered two flavors of boneless, one was the secret sauce, flavor, and the other one was the honey garlic. The honey garlic was visually unappealing, and the taste wasn't much better. It was fairly bland, and I definitely would not order it again. The secret sauce version is a completely different story it's tangy, sweet, savory, and oh, so tasty! We had asked about the different heat flavors, and the man behind the counter, really could not give us a heat scale, so we decided to try these. The fries... We ordered the cheese fries which traditionally are french fries that are covered with this honey cheese powder that really kicks the french fries into a level of Yum. Our original order was served with some kind of burn your mouth into another galaxy sauce that we hadn't ordered. The initial taste was good, but my taste buds two seconds in did not like it. The restaurant generously replaced the fry order with a regular cheese fry neither one of us were certain why our fries were served with any sauce on it since we didn't order it that way, but if the sauce flavor on the fries was indicative of other heat levels for the chicken, I'm personally glad we ordered what we ordered. I ordered a strawberry lemonade, and it tasted like flavored water. I tried drinking it to wash down the heat from the fries, and it's definitely something I would not order again. The seating in the restaurant is a few booths, and the expectation is that you clean up after yourself. Not a big deal, but it made me wonder how frequently after the table has been used if someone's wiping them down. A pricey experience, but based on portion and taste, I'm glad that we gave it a chance. read more

Pretty standard Korean fried chicken experience. The friend chicken is pretty good and crispy, but nothing too special to write home about. The restaurant itself was a bit dark and felt a bit sticky though, so the ambiance wasn't that great. I also think they could do more by serving other dishes in addition to the fried chickens and tteokbokki. read more

One of my favorite KFC spots!! From the outside, it looks really dark and tinted. Inside, they have a couple TVs with sports or K-pop music videos. Very casual dining with soju in the fridge as well. We have dined in and ordered to go. Even when we order take out, the wings are still super crispy. For two people, we usually order the 16 piece honey garlic wings and that's enough for us. We have tried other flavors but we always come back to honey garlic.. Definitely get the cheesling fries!! If you order at the restaurant, you can ask for the spicy sauce on the side because it is pretty hot. If you order online though, you can't request any changes which is the only downside. read more

I got an order of the honey garlic and secret sauce and it's probably one of my favorite korean fried chicken places. The batter remained crunchy even after being sauced up. Chicken came out hot as buns and juicy af. They use dark meat for their boneless so that's already a good sign because once you go dark you start trying to bark. Service was okay and the tables and seats were clean, but I don't care about all that. This chicken was good af. read more

Had dinner here with my husband on Thursday. This was my second time eating here. We opted for dine in. The place was empty. Most orders coming in were for take out. I placed my order at the front and had a seat at one of the booths. The tables were very clean, which i appreciated. I ordered the small boneless honey garlic chicken, a small boneless Caribbean spice chicken, onion rings, dumplings and kimchi fried rice. Our food arrived within 18 minutes piping hot. The kimchi fried rice was my favorite item. Very flavorful. My husband liked his Caribbean spiced chicken. The dumplings and onion rings were both very good. My honey garlic chicken was terrible. It was hard and dry. Impossible to eat and didn't have much sauce on the outside. I took it to the front and explained the situation and they offered to remake it. The remade chicken came out in 10 minutes, but the chicken was just as bad. I'm not sure if the chicken was old/freezer burned or the person cooking it cooked it too long. It was hard and dry and barely had any sauce on it. We took our leftovers home and I just threw away the chicken. I have ordered this same chicken in the past, from here, but didn't have this problem. For the price we paid for the chicken, I expected crispy Korean fried chicken, moist and juicy in the middle and completely coated with the sauce I chose. That's not what I was served. The sad part was that the second attempt was just as horrible. I'm not sure if I will be coming back to this location again. read more

The chicken here is delicious. Good flavours, comes out hot, and decent size. The fries are also really good - crispy but a little thick. Everything else: There is plenty of parking which is nice. After you go in, the layout in the front is kind of awkward. If there's a line, it essentially blocks the entrance. Further, while waiting in line, there's no larger menu to look at and decide. This ultimately slows down the whole process. There is a decent amount of seating and it doesn't get overly busy. After you pay, you get a number and they'll bring the food to your table. The tables have napkin dispensers and a lined metal bucket for bones. You need to ask the person for water. At the end, we weren't sure if we bussed our own table, but on our way out we saw that they had some instructions by the trash can by the door, so we went back and bussed our table. read more

Ordered a small boneless honey garlic chicken and cheese fries. The cheese fries were a fun twist on fries. They were long fries coated in a cheese powder with a spicy almost gochujang like sauce. The chicken was nice and crispy, the meat was the right amount of firm inside. Overall the flavor coating on the chicken was a good pick, definitely does not make you feel over-sauced at the end. Place gets busy during the dinner rush. Otherwise, very chill place to grab a bite and chitchat. Service was fast and enough parking outside in the plaza. read more

Got the half Spicy and half Original. The Spicy had that classic spicy KBBQ flavor, while the Original was more plain and crispy. Still good, but next time I want to try one of the other sauced options. Fries were solid and held up well with the chicken. Stella on tap was a nice touch. The pickled radish (moo) is honestly one of my favorite parts. Probably just the Asian in me but it really cuts the richness. I wish they gave two per whole chicken instead of just one. Probably a business call since most people don't end up eating it, but I always finish mine. Service is good and the staff are friendly. Seating is nice and comfortable. It does seem to get busy after 6 so plan. So far this is my favorite Korean chicken spot in the area. Still need to try others but bb.q is setting the bar. read more

Review for Galbi Flavor: I'm making an effort to try more flavors on the menu so I decided to get Galbi this time. Galbi is sweet and smoky, almost similar in taste to late bbq chips... I wasn't the biggest fan and got tired of the flavor after a couple of wings but it's good if you're looking for something on the smokier side! read more

Bb.q chicken were so addictive. Very flavorful and perfectly crispy chicken. Definitely a great spot if you're craving Korean fried chicken.

I was researching different places in the Sunnyvale/Santa Clara area for the best korean fried chicken and this was one of the top spots. I was interested in trying Von's and 99 Chicken, but I think those two are closed on Mondays while this place isn't, so I ordered a bunch of stuff from the bb.q chicken website. I was surprised to see that you can schedule an order for a certain pickup depending on when you plan to eat, so that was very convenient on the restaurant's behalf. You submit your order, they text/email you a confirmation, and then let you know when the order is to be ready for pickup. What I ordered: galbi boneless, half portion (3/5) -- super savory, smoky, sticky sauce and loved the green onions but a lot of the pieces in this batch were dry/stringy golden original boneless, half portion (4/5) -- probably because I drove with the box still closed, but by the time my guy and I ate, it was not as crispy as I envisioned..still flavorful and juicy...if you're sensitive to heat like me, there is a slight kick that otherwise would go unnoticed by the average person honey garlic boneless, half portion (5/5) -- the favorite of the three, this was flavorful, juicy, and crispy The fried chicken comes with the typical cubed white radish. I believe the total was ~$50 and portion wise, what I got for me and my boyfriend, this was perfect if you don't plan on eating anything else for a meal. I would return with those who really love fried chicken since this place's flavors are on point without being too salty or intense. read more
