Driving by decided to stop in to bb.q Chicken and give it a try. Very happy with our decision!…read more This is a Korean style chicken wing. They offer whole chicken, boneless and regular wings in 14 different seasoning, (Not all of the seasonings are available for the whole chicken) along with a big variety of sides. As we looked over the menu a staff member greeted us and let us look at the menu for a bit and then offered to answer any questions. We asked about a couple of the flavor options, they offered us a small sample of the seasoning to help us decide. We chose the small honey garlic wings and a small Gangnam style wings. A small is 8 wings, a medium is 16 wings and a large is 24 wings. The wings themselves are good sized. We also ordered the cheesling fries which was also a very generous portion. The wings were very crisp and hot when they came out. The kept there crunch through our whole meal! I was impressed that the breading didn't start to get soggy. The Gangnam Style was sweet and salty with a little spiciness. It was spicy for me, but very tasty. I would be able to enjoy a couple pieces but the heat would eventually get to be too much for me. The honey garlic had no spicy rating. They were a nice complement to the spicy option we chose. This is a small restaurant with about 15 tables. It's counter service and you get a number for your table. The only thing slightly negative is the floor is a little sticky. The food is worth the trip to this place!

I'm not sure how well it holds up togo but I did see several togo orders when I was there. They had a helpful little self serve station near the cashier with drinks, utensils, plates, napkins and togo boxes which was very helpful. There are plenty of seats for groups. One negative point is the lack of ventilation in the store, we sat there for about 45min total including ordering and eating our meals and we reeked of fry oil. It penetrated through all our clothes including jackets. So warning, don't wear anything that you aren't afraid of smelling like oil and try to sit next to the door.

It's a small thing, but drinking flat syrup really sets a bad tone for the rest of the meal. We also tried the Bulgogi Fries. They were fine, I guess, but definitely not worth what they're charging. They are way overpriced for what you actually get. The food didn't get much better from there: Chicken Fried Rice: This was extremely "normal." There wasn't anything special about it, but for some reason, it had a weird hit of sugar in it that shouldn't have been there. Japchae: This was the real disaster. Japchae is not supposed to be sweet, but this version was sugary and cloying. It was honestly the grossest japchae I've ever had, and I've been eating that dish my entire life. Ultimately, the whole meal just felt like an exercise in late-stage capitalism: mass-produced, overpriced, oversugared and poor quality. People really shouldn't be eating this kind of food. Save your time and your cash and go somewhere else.

We were at Wandering Leaf Brewing when we noticed someone nearby eating food that looked…read moreincredible. After asking where it was from, we found out it was Soul Lao. We ordered on the spot, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the day. The mango sticky rice was the standout--perfectly sweet, creamy, and easily one of the best I've had. The crispy pork belly had an amazing crunch while staying tender inside, and the wings were juicy and packed with flavor. If you order either, don't skip the fish habanero sauce. It adds the perfect balance of heat, tanginess, and flavor without overpowering the food. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and it paired perfectly with a beer next door. If you're at Wandering Leaf (or anywhere nearby), do yourself a favor and order from Soul Lao. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Kitchen and cashier were extremely friendly and hospitable. Ordered - Crispy Pork Belly (4.5/5). Probably my favorite dish. It can stand on its own, was very favorable, crunchy and had a good meat to fat ratio leaving you wanting more - Duck Noodles (4/5). Flavor profile was a good balance of sweet and salty. Good but nothing memorable - OG Wings (4.5/5). Always fun to see other places try this dish. Last few years the rise of fish sauce coated wings has been a hit which is awesome since my mom's been doing it for decades. Packed a 1,2 punch. A bit salty so make sure you chase it with rice Food was by in large great and if you're expecting fusion then this is what you will find. Price is a bit steep ($25 roughly per dish) so you be checking your Apple location to figure out why you're paying NYC prices in MN ha :)

It never updated to ready to pick up so I arrived just before 7:45pm like the estimate said. I arrived at 7:41pm.

OH OKAY, well send the notification that it was ready when it was actually ready then lol I had put the order in & it said estimated 47 minutes. I arrived at 7:41pm .... told them my name asked if it was ready... I get home & I get a notification stamped at 7:41pm that it was ready. COLD COLD COLD. Onions so burnt up. The cheesesteak was too cheesy da fudge it was mush. I tossed it all out in the garbage. This entire establishment is a disaster.

We were traveling out of MN for work and heading back to Chicago. During our work trip, we had some pretty disappointing gross fried food. Knowing we wanted to have dinner before leaving for home; however, we weren't expecting much. Khue's Kitchen had great reviews on Yelp and availability for us. After placing the reservation, I noticed a very short menu that left me uneasy. Guys, DO NOT FRET ABOUT THE MENU! It is perfectly curated. We got the Chicken Salad, Pork Fried Rice and Pork Chop. Chicken Salad: Literally moaning at our tables. OMG... it doesn't even need the chicken to be good. The fish sauce dressing is what makes this dish. I could eat this everyday. I will be trying to recreate this at home until I can make it back to MN. And the prawn chips - genius! You can make anyone eat veggies on a shrimp chip! Roast Pork Fried Rice: I thought for sure this was cooked on a wok with a higher than thou BTU flame. Eric, the owner, informed me it is not. How can that be?! How can you get that flavor, soulfulness, crispiness, tenderness into this dish without a wok?! Pure magic! The chili crunch is a nice bite. (FYI - took some home and had leftovers for lunch. This dish is even better the next day!) Pork Chop: Nice char and flavor. Not dry at all. We walked into this restaurant without any research. Didn't know who Eric was, his lineage or relationship with Quang, accolades... We walked out full, satisfied, overjoyed and giddy with AN EXPERIENCE, not just a meal. We were so lucky to have time with Eric who is so personable, thoughtful and FUNNY! He made the night for us on top of the food. We will definitely be back in August when we bring our kids for our annual state fair trip and they're going to love the chicken salad as much as we did!

Since it was my first time, I asked for recommendations and got the combo (two tacos, two sides, and a drink). 〰The tacos: Tried the chicken and al pastor. I couldn't decide which one I liked best. It was all delicious. 〰The sides: The apple cabbage salad was a delightful surprise of flavors, and the waffle fries even beat my favorite burger joint. 〰The drink: The limocito is lemonade with fresh mint in it and it's refreshing, crisp, and not overly sweet. I don't even like lemonade and I crave this drink often. 〰The quesadilla: My friend ordered this and it's huge! It was dripping with melted cheese, which is the only way to have a quesadilla. The restaurant has a really cool vibe, colorful decor, and a mustache theme throughout the restaurant. Not only do some of the staff have amazing mustaches themselves, there are little mustaches all over the restaurant, which I found cute and playful. It's counter service with a self-serve setup on the side for an array of hot sauces, silverware, and napkins. The staff are out in the dining room clearing plates and checking on guests, and the whole place is impeccably clean. I really think this spot is perfect if you want to just hop in for a quick solo lunch or meet friends for a long catch-up dinner. I've worked in the restaurant industry on and off for over 20 years, so I can't help but notice the details (both good or bad) when I go out. It truly is all the little things that add up to a fantastic experience from start to finish, and this place has it all.

At first, couldn't tell if the place was open but like many businesses nowadays, they've automated the ordering. Put in my order and came out quickly at the front counter.

Went back in and put it in the trash. My bad bro! Also, fountain drink was flat. On the plus side, they do have lots of big screens for sports.
