Dogs are welcome at any table (both inside and outside), which was a huge plus since we had our pup with us. The location is easy to get to, pretty much right off the 5 freeway. We will definitely be back!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!…read more Over the past few years, several new chicken restaurants have opened around Carlsbad, and I'm very grateful to Yelp for turning me on to this place. BHC Chicken is completely different from many of the others I've tried. Yes, they offer a variety of sauces and flavors, but what really impressed me was their classic fried chicken. I ordered the boneless thigh meal, and it was absolutely delectable. The batter was incredibly light, crispy, and crunchy without being overly hard or heavy, while the chicken inside remained tender and juicy. Best of all, it was thankfully NOT overly salty. The flavor was beautifully balanced and, quite simply, exquisite. I would recommend their fried chicken to any and every chicken aficionado. I also tried the spicy rosé stir-fried rice cakes, which were delicious. They had just the right amount of heat, enough to make them interesting and flavorful without leaving that lingering burn afterward. And then there were the sides! The potato wedges were perfection: nicely cooked outside and wonderfully moist and tender inside. The French fries were also really good. The Bburing cheese balls were DIVINE, delicately flavored, slightly addictive, and just ridiculously yummy. The apple coleslaw was fresh, crisp, and refreshing, and the Bburing chips were another winner. Even the complimentary pickled radish was excellent and paired beautifully with the fried chicken. There are certainly other nearby restaurants selling fried chicken, but for me, BHC Chicken is the clear winner. I am SO glad I discovered this place. Fantastic chicken, excellent sides, interesting Korean specialties, and flavors that don't have to rely on excessive salt to taste good. My new Carlsbad chicken champion!

Red Hot Chicken meets Red Hot Deals!…read more The Red Chickz specializes in Nashville Hot Chicken and is located in the mall in Carlsbad. Their weekday lunch special is soooo value. For $10 you can get either tenders or a chicken sandwich as well as a side. We love a good deal! Onto the actual food! I got three Chicken Tenders in their Glow (Mild) spice level. You get to pick from either potato wedges or coleslaw as your side (I went with coleslaw) and it also comes with pickles, a slice of toast, and comeback sauce. Everything hitttt. The chicken tenders are actually ginormous. Absolutely huge, juicy, and covered in a crunchy breading. I will say that the mild was the perfect spice level for me- I think they skew a bit spicy.

Warning!! The jump from Medium heat to Hot is huge and exponentially hotter after that…read more Service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. I had the original sandwich (Hot - Bonfire). It was super spicy, extra crunchy and delicious. My only gripe, and it's just a personal preference, I didn't like that the spice mix was a powder dry rub. I also ordered a side of the cauliflower bites, which I actually preferred over the sandwich. They were also extra crispy and delicious (same gripe about the rub). The location was really nice. Plenty of seating both inside and out.

Goodness gracious. I can't remember the last time I didn't mind WAITING for food to be prepared…read morebecause I was just in awe watching the owner interact with his customers. Endeavor (yes, that's his name) reminded me of a New Orleans restauranter (his greeting felt like a hug/high five when someone walked in - whether he knew him/her or not). I had a team meeting nearby and one of the girls suggested this place for their Bentos. She said they had Taiwanese style pork chop and fried chicken rice. I assumed the Surf Up Chicken moniker was another Korean fried chicken establishment so I wasn't sure if the bentos were a pop up item for lunch. I didn't have time to look at the menu before arriving so was hoping there was no line. I thought they were located in a mall or food hall but no, they're almost in an industrial area. There's a gelato and acai place next to them. There's one row of parking right in front. You order at the cashier and they give you a buzzer when food is ready. Endeavor said they also make their Beef Noodle soup from scratch. So duh and yes please - add it to the 3 bentos (2 fried pork bentos and 1 fried chicken bento). There's also a self serve soda station (with water and soda water). Plus, a sauce bar ! I think I waited for about 15 min? Their food packaging is LEGIT. The beef noodle soup had the coolest separation (noodles on top while the soup/beef is below without noodles touching the broth). The bentos were also wonderful packaged (I think i'd have them label next time). The beef noodle soup was YUMMY. Can i get an amen from all those BNS lovers who appreciate tender cuts of beef with some fattier pieces too. The broth was soooo savory and lightly rich (i know, is that even possible but the broth wasn't too heavy or greasy). The pickled veggies were BOMB - we tasted garlic which was loved by all. The pork bento was expertly fried and stayed crispy enough even 30min later. It was seasoned perfectly (five spice yeah?). The minced pork was underneath it and delicious (it had the consistency of ground pork). Again, the pickled sour veggies in the bento just worked so well with the dish. The fried chicken was generous and very good! Usually I find Taiwanese fried chicken to be dry but the version here was tender and soooo flavorful. I didn't realize they had a UTC location before it closed :( I would have 100% gone there but will now have to find a reason to make the longer trek here to get their bentos and beef noodle soup. Keep up the amazing work Endeavor ! Your food & service made some hungry customers (us!) happy today. Thank you !

So pleasantly surprised to see Taiwanese food in North County!…read more Surf Up Chicken specializes in Taiwanese-style crispy popcorn chicken. I popped in for lunch and got their Crispy Chicken Bento which featured popcorn chicken, braised minced pork, sautéed cabbage, a soy-braised egg, pickled cucumbers, and mustard greens, all on a bed of steamed rice. It was so comforting and filling! Their portion sizes are really generous and everything is reasonably priced. Seriously, no notes. Will definitely be back to try more off their menu!

Come to find out, this windmill actually has a food hall inside of it and I was pretty stoked to check it out. When I got over to Cosmos Burger and saw someone walking away with a chicken sandwich, I knew I needed to order one and give it a try myself. I ended up ordering a chicken sandwich which is basically some sauced chicken strips between some buns, and this sandwich was really good. I ended up getting the Garlic Parm chicken sandwich and the sauce was really good. I also ended up ordering french fries on the side which were fine, but this place charges $7 for fries and only offers one size.....so that sucks. It was too many fries for a side and since they don't bother to offer a small, I was stuck with it. Overall, I left Cosmos Burgers with some mixed feelings. The Garlic Parm Chicken Sandwich was really good, but at $15 doesn't really seem worth it when it's served by itself, and when you add in another $7 for French fries you are spending almost $25 to get a sandwich, fries and no drink. Won't be returning.

I was in the neighborhood actually getting boba from a different place…read more I saw the sign and I decided to check it out. I noticed that the happy hour which is daily had $1 wings. I decided to try out some wings. I ended up trying 5 of the 6 flavors: Hot Spicy, Spicy & Sweet, Soy Garlic, Cajun Lemon and Original. I think the Original and Soy garlic were the best ones. I had to drive home so it was about 30 minutes away. They left the boxes open to try and keep the wings as crispy as possible. I think if you get these in house, they would be super delicious. I will admit these wings were pretty meaty, a very good size. I am used to seeing smaller or average size at a lot of wing spots. The lady working (Elizabeth) was super helpful and friendly. I chatted with her while my order was ready to go. Decor seems nice, there is a bar and some tables as well. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop in for $1 wings during happy hour. Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5

I would pass on the drinks because the boba was overcooked and it didn't have any flavor or sweetness to it. I definitely want to come back and try their happy hour and order some of the appetizers like the corn cheese and Korean pancake.

Staff is polite and welcoming, they can be a little distracted sometimes. Overall though the staff is great. There's ample parking around the back and in a parking garage within walking distance.
