    Rice and fish cakes with a half boil egg.
    Pauline L.

    I've got a new go-to place for fried chicken. In my opinion, Korean fried chicken is second to none. According to some online posts, the frying method renders out the fat in the skin. I don't know if that's accurate. I thought the skin was removed. I'll have to ask the staff next time. I do know that it was super crispy and delish. It's served with pickled turnip. BB.Q Chicken is a Korean chain that's branched out internationally. I got the golden fried chicken which is basic, but there are many different flavors including spicy and some that are slightly sweet. I saw one customer review that said now "you can feel famous" eating Korean fried chicken. That's because fried chicken is always featured in K-dramas. The spicy rice cakes with fish cakes are also sometimes featured in the shows. I ordered some. Rice cakes are popular Asian cuisine, but they're a bit heavy and very filling. I couldn't finish the order. It was too large. I liked the staff. They were friendly and helpful. The place was busy even after 2pm. I placed my order online. When I got there I still had a 10 minute wait. It seems a lot of lunch orders were placed around 2pm by customers who appeared to be mostly college or post-college age. The fried chicken was worth the wait. The restaurant is small, clean, cute and modern. There are some tables for those who want to eat-in, but it seems most of the orders were for take out. I can't wait to come back to try some of the spicy fried chicken. I think it was called Gangnam chicken.

    Coleslaw

    I order the coleslaw from bb.q chicken it came spoiled. The container was only 3/8 full and was spoiled. I don't understand how you could accidentally give spoiled coleslaw to your customers.

    Albany finally got a Korean fried chicken joint!! I've been to BBQ chicken in the Boston area and was excited to see it pop up here. We ordered the soy garlic wings and secret spicy wings as well as fries, coleslaw, and radish. I'm definitely partial to soy garlic no matter where I go and I thought these were delicious and crispy. I didn't really like the secret spicy (not spicy and have a strange aftertaste) but my bf preferred them. Honestly their sides were not the best I've had, but nothing to complain about either. Fries were hot and fresh. Definitely satisfied my craving for Korean fried chicken, fries, and pickled white radishes. We had a small amount of leftovers and they were still good after heating up a bit in the toaster oven the next day. Wish I had an air fryer... I would recommend not ordering on grubhub because the fees are insane. We called to pick up our order and the guy working there was very friendly and our order was waiting for us on time (took about 20 minutes).

    One of my favorite spots to come eat in central avenue. Whenever I crave some fried chicken, this is the place to go! It's a small store on the side of the road, parking is usually fairly easy to find. It's not usually busy inside as most people order takeout so they grab the food and leave. You walk up to the counter and order your food. They make Korean style fried chicken where they mix different types of Korean sauce with the chicken. But if you just want classic fried chicken with no sauce, they have that option too and sauce or not, it's still really good. I tried the half and half where they give you half classic fried chicken and other half with their secret sauce. Both of them were really good. It was crispy, full of flavor, and juicy. It took about 15 mins to get the food and took us 15 mins to finish everything. They also serve boneless chicken and ramen. I personally didn't try those yet but I might in the future and let everyone knows how those are.

    Korean fried chicken takeout from a franchise operation that is opening it first outlet outside of NYC. They fry up the bird in a crunchy batter then coat it with one of a variety of sauces. Counter guy told me the secret spicy is closest to what you think of his Korean fried chicken, but it wasn't spicy enough. I would definitely go for the hot secret spicy. They advertise that they use olive oil in frying, which sounds great, but oddly adds a mellow note you don't expect in Korean fried chicken. Still it's pretty good stuff. Portions are priced around $13 for a small size, $23 for a large size. You can get either wings or parts of a whole chicken. The latter is a much better deal. I got I think 10 meaty chunks instead of a few bony extremities. They threw in some pleasant daikon pickle but I think that might be a grand opening special. Ambience is zippo. You just stand around waiting for your order to be ready, which takes takes longer than I think it should due to a bottleneck with the guy saucing the chicken. But overall it's A-OK and I'm adding a star for value.

    Cheeseling
    Jessica W.

    Albany's newest fried chicken spot is a popular Korean franchise and it is awesome! So many different flavors of fried chicken to choose from and they're all tasty. The best flavors are the Gang Jeong and Secret Spicy. Both are not too spicy and have a bit of a sweet bite. Honey garlic is also excellent. The original wings were good but compared to the other wings with sauce, they seemed like they were missing more flavor. The cheeseling wings were unique and interesting with cheese powder for seasoning. Worth a try but I prefer the other flavors for more depth. The cheese sticks were mozzarella sticks, I thought they were going to be more Korean with some spice. However they were still yummy. Make sure to call ahead!! The wait can be long so calling ahead is a must. Also there is currently a 10% off soft opening discount now.

    Honey garlic and  Wings of Fire

    I really enjoyed this meal. The wings are done when ordering, crispy and very juice. The location is clean and their customer service is perfect, very patient with my friends and I who have never been at this spot. My friend and I got different flavors so we can share . 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.

    Soy Garlic Whole Chicken
    Juan C.

    First visit. Tried the golden classic and the soy garlic (M size), plus French fries. Both versions of the chicken were amazing. Fries were crispy but too greasy. Reason for one less star is the long wait. Over 45 minutes between ordering and getting food, and place was not too busy.

    Jennifer V.

    This place is pretty good! The chicken was nice and crispy despite the amount of sauce! We got the half and half whole chicken (original and secret spicy) and the medium soy garlic wings. I definitely would get all of them again. :) I ordered pick up which took about 20 mins or so? They are very busy since they just opened so keep that in mind when you place your order. I would definitely come here again for my Korean fried chicken fix!

    Eileen C.

    Finally a Korean wing place in Albany! Service was very good. I ended up getting spicy, crispy wings, onion wings, sweet potato fries, kimchi fried rice and rice cake. Service was very fast, I would recommend this to anyone that wants a quick meal. If you order takeout, I would suggest calling in your order, it's more expensive if you order on grub hub

    Can I dine-in? It looks like take out only

    They have a small number of small tables. No table service. Primarily a take-out place.

    What's the pricing like? Nothing on their website, and I want to stay in my budget while enjoying good Korean fried chicken. Anyone know how the sides are?

    It's pretty similar to the pricing in NYC? I got the half and half chicken and a medium soy garlic wings and the total was about ~$39. It came with 3 cups of radishes. They have a 10% discount right now for grand opening so the actual total was $35!…

We had just come from a drive around the NY capitol building and, whatever way the GPS brough us, it said that we had "arrived" when we were still on Delaware Ave. We were looking into an empty storefront and we were worried. But we turned the corner onto Central and were overjoyed to see McCant's. We couldn't tell if it was open from the street but we pressed our luck, parking and walking about a block. They were open! Yay! You can order at a kiosk/screen. Our group each went with a different dog, our group ending up with a Memphis, a Slaw Dog, and a New Yorker. We shared an order of fries. The food was ready quickly and as the food got off the folks behind the counter made sure everything looked good to us (it did!). My Mom gave her New Yorker 5 stars. Great flavor with the sauerkraut and onion sauce. My Aunt gave her Slaw Dog 4.75 stars. Tons of cole slaw (maybe a touch too much). I'd give my Memphis Dog 3.75. The McCants chili is pretty loose, liquidy and there is plenty of it on this top (maybe a touch too much). I didn't think the bun stood a chance against all the liquid toppings but, with some delicate handling, it made it through the whole eating experience. Phew. It was good but I think the chili really dominated the other toppings. The fries were great. Really well-seasoned. The folks behind the counter made sure we had a tasty experience as we left. I'd definitely come back here! I'm eyeing that Fire Truck!
