There are so many options for KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) these days. I love Koko and Pelicana but bb.q Chicken is also amazing. This location is primarily a takeout spot since it's very small inside. I've picked up food from this location twice since they opened and have no complaints at all. I 100% recommend their Half & Half Whole Chicken with their Golden Original & Secret Sauce. The one thing that bb.q Chicken does that blows every other competitor out of the water is their secret sauce. It's basically Korean fried chicken on crack because the flavor is BOMBDOTCOM. Hurry up and order online to pick-up some finger lickin' good fried chicken from this little spot. Parking may get hectic sometimes due to the busy lot filled with many restaurants so maybe come during non-peak hours. read more

Had lunch here before heading back to sac .. the restaurant is pretty small with about 5 tables to sit and enjoy your food. Service was pretty bad .. there was a screen to order on counter when you first walk in.. I thought we had to order before sitting so I started my order.. guy asked if we was taking to go or eating here I said we would like to eat here so he gave us some menus and told us to pick any table. We picked our table and looked at the menu for a good while waiting for him to come take our order but he never did nor did he explain that we had to order on the mini screen from the table. My son said," mom maybe we have to order on the screen" and so we ordered from screen. When the food came out he brought it over one by one but never said a word to us.. literally plopped it down and walked away. He brought us our 3 soda cans with 1 cup of ice and two cups stacked under it. I asked if I can have another cup of ice and he brought over one more cup with literally 4 piece of ice in it. lol ‍ After all our food came out we ate without him ever coming over to ask us if we needed anything else.. when we were done I asked for some boxes to take our leftover and he didn't say a word just brought boxes over and a bag and left it on table and walked away lol.. his service was pretty bad honestly .. but the chicken was so good! So crispy and I added a spicy sauce on the side and it was spicy goodness! The cabbage salad with house thousand island was delicious too! The cheese balls was good but on the sweeter side. The fries were crispy and delicious. The star of our lunch was for sure the crispy chicken wings so good! I wish we had one in sac! read more

Today was an extremely disappointing experience. About an hour after placing my order, I received a notification saying it was ready for pickup. However, when I arrived, the restaurant was overcrowded, and nearly every customer was complaining about delayed orders. If the business was unable to handle the volume of orders, they should have stopped accepting new ones. Several customers said they had been waiting two to four hours and still had not received their food. I had ordered food for 10 people, but there was no clear communication about when my order would actually be ready. Had I known about the delay, I would have ordered takeout elsewhere instead of wasting my time waiting. What was most upsetting was seeing a young cashier left alone to deal with a room full of frustrated customers. Management should have stepped in, explained the situation, and apologized instead of leaving one employee to handle everything. Poor communication, unrealistic order estimates, and a lack of accountability from management made this a very frustrating experience. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but customers deserve honest updates, accurate expectations, and better service. read more

Located next door to Panera and California Fish Grill you will find this Korean fried chicken spot. I've always been curious, but never went... but the other day I was craving chicken and saw they had a lunch special of chicken + fries or rice and a soda for $14.99, so decided to give it a try. The lunch special wasn't available online, so I called in my order and it was ready when I got there. First impression cute shop with seating inside and out. Inside you will find k-pop bands playing on tv. I went after 1:00 so it wasn't very crowded either. The food - the chicken was nice and juicy, though it could use a bit of salt if eating without the sauce. I was a bit iffy about having my chicken drenched in sauce so I ended up getting it on the side and I'm glad I did. I ended up dipping my chicken in the garlic+soy sauce, which was good but could also be a bit over bearing. The fries that came with it were nice and crunch and full of flavor. The best part was this is a very generous lunch portion. With a rise in inflation, felt a bit like I hit the jackpot as I had lunch and dinner. All in all I'm glad I gave bb.q chicken a try and I'll be back. read more

This was my first time trying this chain of restaurant. Customer service was really good, fast service. I ordered to take out there was no issues. The only con is their regular spicy chicken was a bit lack lustered. My favorite was actually the ones with the garlic flavor which kinda reminds me of Bonchon. It seems like a good hangout spot for quick lunch. read more

bb.q Chicken Brea - Inside the restaurant - Korean Near Me - Brea, California

5 of PB buddies decided to have lunch together after pickleball drills. Service is good despite only one lady running the whole store. Overall, the establishment is clean, and modern fast food like. All 5 of us order 5 different flavors of boneless chicken lunch set with different flavors, sides, and choice of soft drinks. My choice is secret sauce! It's sweet with some spiciness. Mostly the sauce is very abundant. I like the chicken and the sweet potato fries! And it goes well with ice soft drinks. Using gloves is a nice touch. I don't like the taste of the batter or flour they used on skin, but maybe I am just sensitive. Overall, our party enjoy the lunch that's very filling and we have a good time eating and chatting. read more

PARKING (5/5): It's right off the 57 freeway and shares a huge plaza with several other businesses. It's always busy, but you'll always find parking. SERVICE (4/5): If you dine-in, they pretty much let you sit wherever you want, they'll bring a menu and take your order very quickly. The wings do take awhile since they make them fresh. I'd say about 20 minutes. FOOD (4/5): I only really like flats, and they only let you order that if they have the inventory for it, which kinda sucks. I told them I'd pay extra for it, but they just didn't have enough apparently. So docked one star for not even being able to pay for the substitution I wanted. Everything else was excellent here. $16 SMALL WINGS (8 pieces) - I choose the GANGNAM STYLE. Marked with only 1 for spice, I should've went for ! They are covered in sauce and super flavorful and crispy to perfection. It's more wings that I can eat by myself. While you wait you get some salted peanuts, cabbage salad, and a single mozerella stick with marinara sauce. read more

Conveniently located just off the 57 freeway in a large plaza with a huge parking lot. If you're dining in, you can choose your own seat. Staff quickly bring menus and take your order. The wings take about 20 minutes to come out since they're made fresh. Everything seems like it was made when order. They also get a lot of Togo orders. The food was fresh. We got the kimchi rice and one of the chicken options. Would recommend customers to order online a head of time for fast pick up on to go orders. read more

I had ordered their Original bone in fried chicken wings. I usually order chicken at a few other locations, but this time I picked up food from this Brea location because it was on the way back home, Chicken was tasty, but a bit disappointed because the chicken wasn't as crispy as the other locations. Not sure why. Service was very helpful and friendly and the place was very clean. read more

The chicken is always good here, very flavorful and cooked very well. It's never dry and always crispy! Today is Mother's Day and didn't expect it to be so busy, but the girl running the front was so kind and friendly even when there was a mad rush when we came in for pickup. The place was packed! All the tables were filled with people and even still the food was delicious. Always a reliable go-to spot! read more

I always love getting bbq chicken. I have noticed that there are differences among all the different locations. This was my first time at this location and the experience was great. We ordered two different kinds of boneless wings and both were fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious. What made the experience great was the service. I didn't get the servers name, but he was kind, attentive, and efficient. Keep in mind that if you ever go to a bbq chicken, don't go if you're in a hurry. The wings take a bit of time to make. I will definitely be going to this location again when I'm craving some tasty chicken! read more

My family and I love bb.q chicken. Service is always great and the food is always consistent. Love that they have different items on menu that caters to everyone.

We tried many other fried chicken restaurants and we always come back to bb.q chicken. Love that there is one in Brea now! read more

The food was delicious and so savory probably one of the best chickens I have aten in a while. The service was phenomenal as well. The ajuma at the front was super kind and helpful. When I was picking up the food I also was shocked by the calm ambiance of the restaurant. Many were there having fruitful conversations and I could see all of them smiling whether it was the food or just the environment read more

Ordered food online around 5 pm. The app says it will be ready at 6:50 pm. When I went there at 6:50 pm, they now say I have to wait 1 more hour. It was busy day for them. So I requested my order to be cancelled. They "voided" my order but never gave my money back. I've been trying to call them but no one is answering. Very disappointed with the experience. I wished I had my money back for the order that I've never received. read more

So glad they opened up in Brea, love me some Korean fried chicken! Love the abundant chicken wing flavor choices, we'll have to come back and try the others.

I've been getting spicy original from here for a while now. Today I ordered boneless gangjeong and spicy original. It doesn't have the texture or taste of traditional Korean style gangjeong, but it's delicious and moist. I think it's a flavor that teenagers would like. The spicy original seems to be a little saltier than before, but maybe it's more suitable for California weather. I think we'll be eating gangjeong for a while because my son and daughter love it so much. Anyway, I'm grateful that there's a good Korean chicken restaurant in Brea. read more

Order estimated to be ready by 7:15pm on a Thursday. It's now ten minutes after, app and text state that the order is ready. But was told it will take another 15-20 minutes. There were another 4-5 parties waiting for pick up. I get that the place is busy, was a full room of diners, but have a better system for pick up window. Expect longer wait times than stated. This is the second time this has happened, so be sure to be cautious with the expected pickup time. read more

I love this place their clean nice and the food is really good and they always have great customer service

I placed an online order through the website. The customer service at pick up was friendly and professional. Prices seem reasonable, although I would order in person if you don't mind the wait. I ordered the spicy Korean 8 piece and it was hot, spicy, juicy crispy. From the little bit that I saw, they have lots of tables and seating in the dining area for the people who chose to stay. It looked clean. read more

Loved the cheesling and secret sauce flavors of the chicken. Original was ok but the other two were the stars. I enjoyed their rose dokbokki though it's not as sweet and creamy as some other places. This one is more savory n I liked the pickled vegetables inside. The kimchi fried rice was ok. Could use more actual bits of wet kimchi read more

My daughter absolutely loves their tteokbokki, she always looks forward to it! It is very delicious.

I have ordered from this location multiple times and they never disappoint. Parking can be a challenge at times, but it is generally ok. I typically place orders ahead and just pick them up. They have seating area inside, but it is small so keep in mind if in a large group. The staff is really nice and organized with the orders. They always confirm my order before handing it to me. The to go packaging is perfect, it is sturdy and gets the job done. I drove about 10 mins home and everything was great. The wing boxes have ventilation to prevent them from getting soggy. They also provide plastic utensils. One of the best parts of their wings is the how crunchy they are! I don't personally eat much spicy (hot) so their original hot ones are too much for me. The garlic soy ones are my usual go to here as they have a good sweet/sour balance and are not spicy at all. I would like just a tiny bit of a kick but based on descriptions, it doesn't seem like there is an in between. The kimchi fried rice is DELICIOUS! it is a very large portion so I can easily make 2 meals out of it if not 3. I love adding the cheese as they make a layer on the top with it and it gives it the extra gooeyness that I love. I'm not even sure how to describe the flavour because it is not kimchi in my opinion. Also, I'm pretty sure it has small pieces of chicken or something that looks and tastes like chicken. If you are looking for a vegetarian dish, you may want to confirm. Overall, I know I will be back for a pick up order. This is something that I for sure crave every now and then. read more

Never go wrong with any flavored or traditional bbq chicken. Teriyaki chicken is good; smaller bite size chicken with perfect amount of sauce, not over empowering. Rose Kimchi pasta would also make a good mix - rich in taste. read more
