    Regular size boneless plate
    Troy K.

    The chicken is definitely tasty--crispy, flavorful, and satisfying when you're craving Korean fried chicken. The sides are good too, and overall the food quality is solid. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and air conditioned, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. The staff is efficient and gets the job done, although they come across a little like young efficient robots--polite enough, but not much personality or warmth. My only real issue is the price. It is hard for me to justify spending $17+ for a plate with just a few pieces of boneless chicken and some sides. If the prices were a little more reasonable, or the portions included a bit more chicken, I could justify a 5-star rating. For now, it is a solid 4 stars based on the cost-to-value ratio. The food is good enough that I would still come back once in a while.

    Good food, good chicken! We definitely ordered too much than we could handle. Prices are also reasonable. Taking one star off because we ordered boneless plates and one of the chicken pieces was basically all bone. Possibly a junk piece of chicken that should've ended up in the trash. Cole slaw was alright, kinda mushy. Mandoo was good and the rice with sauce and furikake was good too. Service was very friendly too. Plentiful parking outside, located on the same level as Aiea bowl.

    Today I ordered a mini boneless chicken. I told the guy I don't eat rice so he offered me French fries. I took the fries...I notice after I paid that I was charged $2 more for the fries. Asked about if I got the rice and Cole slaw ... it would have been cheaper. Not right! The boneless chicken wasn't crispy. And they didn't give me any dipping sauce for my fries.

    As good as other BB.Q locations! After shopping and walking around the Aloha Stadium swap meet, we were hungry. Yes there are vendors there, but we wanted fried chicken. Yelp spotted two KFC places nearby and BB.Q was one of them. I wanted to try the other place, but a cousin confirmed which was better and said, "We're going to BB.Q Chicken!" Perfect! It's located within a little shopping corner, and had plenty of parking spaces. The location itself was fairly small I'd say, with only about six or seven tables. But overall, the place appeared clean. Ready to order, ready to grub! Even though I knew the menu in my head, I kept staring up at the menu board to see if they've got anything different. I've never seen the Red Chak Chak Wings which apparently is heavily flavored with black peppers and extra chili. Nor have I tried the Butter Crunch Wings, which also seemed interesting. The party I was with were from Texas, and they've never had BB.Q before. So I ordered the regulars: The Golden Original ($19.99), Half and Half Wings ($34.99) with Honey Garlic and Spicy Galbi. And man were they lovin' it! Can beat the original or the honey garlic if you've never been. The wings were deep fried well enough, hot with every bite, tender inside, and crunchy on the outside like it should be! Service seemed OK, helpful, nothing to complain about. Our mouths overlooked service. We ordered, we ate, we were satisfied!

    We got a plate here of their secret sauce chicken! Excellent as usual! Staff were friendly and food was served promptly. There's ample seats and table to dine in. Parking is alright and not too crowded. This place is one of our favorite chicken places on Oahu!

    BB.Q Chicken in Aiea next to Aiea Bowl is nice. It's the classic Korean Fried Chicken franchise (the best KFC franchise) and is still so good and reliable! I came in and ordered Togo, there was ample seating and it was so clean on the inside! A bonus, AIR CONDITIONING They also offer MILITARY DISCOUNT! Yayyy

    Honey Garlic Boneless Party Pack 40
    Angeleena M.

    I have had this place recommended to me so many times and I now understand why. The service is nothing other than fast and thorough, I ordered a 40 pack of boneless wings and fries for a small superbowl get together and it was perfect for the occasion. The honey garlic is by far my favorite and the hot spicy is delicious despite burning my mouth off. They were hot and crispy. I did order and pick up and upon walking into the restaurant it was clear it was not a place to sit down and enjoy a meal due to the many many orders they were lining up for pick up and the tables pushed to the side but that could have been due to the superbowl and a high fluctuation of demand. But if you are looking for a place to pick up wings for yourself or for a party I would recommend this place ten times over.

    Full Honey Garlic Wings Plate and Full Hot Spicy Wings Plate
    Chanel A.

    I was craving Korean fried chicken and found myself at bb.q Chicken, located in Aiea Shopping Center, right next to Aiea Bowl. We arrived right when it opened at 11 on a weekday and there was only one person ahead of us in line. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and lively with large TVs playing upbeat K-Pop songs and dramas. We were greated by a friendly worker and ordered a full honey garlic wings plate and a full hot spicy wings plate. Each plate came with 6 pieces of wings, furikake rice, mandoo, and mac salad or coleslaw. We waited a quick 20 minutes and recieved our chicken hot and fresh. Both dishes were delicious with sweet and savory crispy chicken. Bring wet wipes if you can! Our stomachs were full but our hands were sticky. I definitely plan on returning to try their other chicken flavors!

    Stop by and got my favorite chuck chuck. Staff provided great customer service and the food was spectacular as always.

    Honey Garlic Wings
    Erica Marie G.

    My coworkers got the full 18 pieces of Honey Garlic Wings for $35.59 And it was my first time trying this and its so amazing Even after its been sitting in the microwave at work, its still so crispy, juicy and so flavorful. I can't to take my family there and let them all try it.

    Half and half - Honey garlic crispy chicken wings / black pepper chicken wings
    Rod U.

    Let's get the last of the sub par ratings out of the way before some Holiday cheer! The largest Korean Fried Chicken franchised chain in the world whose Hawaii location makes the best tasting colon cleanse EVER! Read on and you'll get it. Trying this locations KFC instantly made me wonder how can Korean people in Korea not look like us obese Americans? Looked at pics of bb.q KFC in Malaysia, Singapore and vids direct from South Korea and the chicken didn't look the same. Case in point, the "honey garlic", a type of batter coated crispy chicken, different.. Was this coated multiple times and deep fried repeatedly until the well brined, juicy chicken part inside was cooked? The outer layer is so thick, it doubles the size of the wingettes and drumettes to the point you can't tell them apart. Yes the honey garlic coating is tasty but the coating, even while being crisp, retains so much oil it isn't possible to eat more than two pieces. The "black pepper", more traditional dry dredged, is plenty juicy with a huge amount of black pepper kicking up the mala heat but has been deep fried in oil not to temp. Greasy. Really tasty KFC but so oily that just four pieces resulted in the same number of uhhhh cleanses. Too bad because this could have been a real winner.

We went with their Turkey Avocado Bacon sandwich. He was so impressed when he saw the worker slicing the turkey fresh onto the sandwich. This sandwich is pretty basic and includes turkey, avocado spread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, & mayo. You can add on more veggies at no charge such as cucumber, onion, oregano, & even hot mustard. The sandwich itself was good but for $13.99 I wish they had fresh avocado or added more avocado spread because I didn't taste any of it. Second, the bread was really soft with a bit of a chewy crust. It's made fresh daily so you know it's quality. Overall, it was a pretty good sandwich but nothing special. Maybe we have to try a different sandwich with different meats next time!

    Okay first thing to say about my experience, location sucks!…read more Located next to other shops it was easy to pass by this small spot. I had to circle around to find the parking. Well there is enough parking in the back parking lot. But there's this security guard there. I asked if he's the parking attendant and he said I'm security. I asked where machetes is and he said that's in the front I only care about the back. So I guess that's his only job to watch the parking lot. And it's located across a homeless camp. So I can see why the need for parking security. Such a turn off! Upon entering machetes I was greeted. The worker asked if I was ready to order and I said just another minute as I wanted to look over the menu for what I wanted since it was my first time. The counter was covered in devices I guess a lot of people order from here. I ordered a turkey and salami sandwich. The worker then asked if I wanted it on the white or brown wheat bread. I chose wheat. While waiting I asked if they make their own bread and they do so I was impressed. The worker asked me, you say you didn't want tomatoes? Then I responded I want everything it supposed to come with. I thought I heard him say a second thing but wasn't sure and I was looking closer to the menu. I didn't realize you can add items to the sandwich for free. The worker then hands me the sandwich wrapped ready to go. I then said oh sorry can you add peppers, cucumbers and Italian vinaigrette. He did not look happy. I apologized saying sorry it was my first time. He said it was cool. Well proceed to pay. And he said have a nice day and I said thanks and left. Sandwich tasted amazing! Big portion! The wheat bread was so soft and light. Refreshing from all the vegetables. And moist from the vinaigrette. Although peppers were missing. Total for just the and sandwich was $13.40. Not a bad sandwich. Just a weird location and weird vibe. Don't forget that there are free addons and a list of them in a tiny section on the bottom of menu. They won't remind you it's there or offer it lol. I'd come back.

This location is a small grab n' go situation. Parking can be tough in the area-- so I definitely suggest ordering online for pick up or delivery. I ordered their turkey, bacon, and avocado. Which also comes with lettuce, tomato, and I added cucumber to it for an extra fresh crunch. I ended up only eating half of my sandwich and then eating the other half hours later and it held up well! An awesome lunch choice, especially if you're on the go or possibly a great travel day sandwich. I had a great conversation with the guy behind the counter- super friendly staff. Just be warned, parking is tough and there's really no place to sit and eat your sandwich there.
