Usually this place never disappoints -- great food, quick and friendly service (and hence the reason for the 3 stars). But today was different, our order of Cheeseling boneless wings came with very little to any of that cheeseling powder and only discovered it when we got home with our order. So disappointing, that stuff is like crack read more

I love bb.q chicken, but for some reason it tasted funny this time. it had a weird after taste. Not sure whether it is due to old oil or what. chicken was juicy and good but something was not right. I tried this location a few times when it first opened up and I really enjoyed it. Not sure what is making it taste off like that. read more

Food is always good and staff are super kind and attentive, and they're great at handling even small request.

Ordered online and was ready in time. Super good chicken. Clean place and yummy food!!!!

So crispy and texture. The whole chicken has more than any other store. Love it. Don't change it later.

Happened upon this place a while ago and it's in our normal rotation. If you can't find a flavor you like you're not trying. I don't think we've tried every flavor yet but working our way through. Staff is great 5 tables inside but their to go orders are constant! Love the inside the two TVs bragging about their locations and the other tv with non stop bb.q ad action. See you soon. read more

bb.q Chicken Brea - Secret Sauce and Honey Garlic boneless wings (8) and Cheesling Fries. Well what's left of them that is. - Korean Near Me - Brea, California

Considering I paid $50 for a pick up order, it was extremely rude that the lady at the front told us we had to eat outside and had an attitude about it. This was our first time trying this place and she made it an extremely unpleasant experience. Telling a paying customer that they aren't welcome to sit inside because of the way they ordered is wrong and upsetting. read more

the spicy galbi was so good the service was amazing. Very nice server. food came out Fast. Fries were very good

Came on day two of opening and glad to see how busy they were. Luckily we got there right before the rush. A little pricey but the food was really good. Service was great too! Very attentive., We will be back! read more

The food is like nothing I've had before the cheeseling whole chicken and the Caribbean whole chicken are my top favorites picks, I haven't really sat down so I don't know much about the ambiance. It seems like a fast food seating area. The service is a 6/10 I've been there way too many times I'd imagine they know me at that point I always come in dressed in a suit since I only eat there once a week when I'm working near by, I'd imagine they'd know who I am, and not only that my name is unique not many people are Khalid Kanoni, I hate that they make me search on my email for confirmation even though I know what I ordered and tell them the exact order, they make me feel like I'm stealing mind you I fricking tip them 15% all the time too. The store in Cerritos never does that to me, that inconvenience is the only reason they are getting a 4 star review from me. I live in the cerritos area and prefer that shop I've been in the Cerritos store only 3 times and they already know who I am, meanwhile here it's always the same lady making me search on my email for a message. And what I dread the most is when the store is empty and I pick up food from there and there are no other online orders yet I'm forced to look for the email on my phone. If I didn't like the food the rating would've been a 3 at the most. But luckily the food is a 10/10 I personally can't imagine them making chicken taste any better than it does. It's like crack. In a good way. Just ask customers for their names, stop asking us to check our emails, I'm not buying Gucci, Hermes or Louis Vuitton it's bloody chicken ffs, and I tip because my time is valuable, (p.s I'm no longer tipping when eating here or I'm sticking to the fish grill near them, at least I feel valued there, and my team seems valuable to them there). read more

We got the Golden Original and love how crispy the chicken is! And it was ready for pick up really quick

i like this location. fast, they cook well. very nice employee. they give a good portion size. compare to other location

Arrived at 9:28pm. Yelp says they close at 10 and so does the employee. Went to order and they said their kitchen is closed. I guess they all just wanna go home early. read more

Can definitely see why they been popping up all over now. Very solid choices and flavors for kfried chicken. Definitely try at least once and form your own opinion read more

I was kicked out of the restaurant for no apparent reason. I wasn't allowed to eat my food that I purchased and it was about 98° degrees outside were I was forced to eat at on the tables in front of the restaurant. I was never given a valid reason for why I couldn't eat inside when there was other people inside eating but I for some reason couldn't. read more

A lil pricey but the chicken is always super crunchy and tasty. It comes hot and the radish it comes with makes it an all time favorite of mine read more

Great chicken, you need to try this. All types of savory and sweet offerings that satisfies all tastes and preferences.

I ordered takeout from here for the first time today. I wasn't sure how it would taste. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the original spicy chicken, and it was crispy and tasty. It wasn't breaded too much, and it had a nice golden crisp with juicy chicken when I bit into it. It also had a nice light spicy kick to it. I also ordered the kitchen fried rice, which I enjoyed eating. Had lots of veggies and meat in it. It wasn't too salty like some places I've been to. It was a good-sized portion. Also ordered the dduk- bokki, I enjoyed the slightly sweet taste. Had lots of rice cakes, which is surprising because some restaurants barely put any in. I liked all the veggies and fish cakes as well. Will definitely order from here again! read more

best chicken ever omggg my bf and i came here right before they closed on a whim and the chicken turned out to be some of the best chicken we ever had!!! so crispy and the sauces are all so yummy! We will definitely be back to try the rest of the flavors! and the girl and the front was super sweet too(: read more

We ordered the half and half whole chicken, ddeok bokki, and sweet potato fries. The chicken was not as crispy as I would've liked and the secret sauce was about the sweetest non-dessert sauce that I've ever eaten in my life. I have a huge sweet tooth but this was over-the-top sweet. As for the ddeok bokki, it was ok but the sauce was too watered down. All our food also came out separately and there was a long delay before we got the fried chicken. I ordered the honey garlic sauce and it was not brought out with my fried chicken. I told our server and he apologized and told me that he would get it for me. After waiting awhile I went to the counter and again asked my waiter for the sauce, at which time he says, "oh yea, the sauce." He goes back to organizing togo orders while I'm still waiting for him to get my sauce. I tell him I need the sauce so I can eat my chicken while its hot and he then tells me that they are busy. I get that they are busy getting togo orders figured out but that's not my problem. First of all, it takes a few seconds to get some sauce out from the kitchen (that I should've gotten when my food first came out) and second of all, if the restaurant is overwhelmed, the ownership needs to get more employees instead of burdeninig their customers. Needless to say, we won't be returning. read more

Food is super fresh and clean You can tell that the ingredients are good quality The marinations on the chicken is all very well done and the Rose tteokbokki is really delicious too Workers and employees all have a great attitude and welcoming read more

For Korean style fried chicken their flavor options are lackluster and flavors as well. I personally liked Fire Wings more than this place. Their prices also seem a bit higher than Fire Wings in comparison as well. Or about the same. It's just too pricey for something that is just average. Fire wings have bigger sized wings for portion sizes. They don't have much of a variety of flavors enough for me to come back here and the flavors they have that I've tried were just either okay or a bit on the salty side to me. I think they also charge for dipping sauces which is insanity to me. Overall, worth a try since everyone loves it so we tried it. But probably won't be back since it's not my kind of chicken that I prefer. read more

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 New, very clean and cute. We ordered Gangjeong Boneless, soy Honey Garlic Boneless bonless, chicken Alfredo, we ordered cole slaw with the Gangjeong Boneless and the Pickled Radish with the Soy Honey Garlic Boneless. Food portion was generous and we ordered pint of beer and Cheese Sticks came along which were yummmm. We will def. come back. Best part is that now we don't have to drive all the way to get Korean chicken!!!!!!! read more

My fave chicken place! Rose tokkboki really good too. I always get the honey garlic bone in wings.

Delish lunch, and waitress very helpful with suggestions. Very reasonable too. Busy with go orders too. read more

Second time getting the soy garlic wings from this location. First time around I gave them the benefit of the doubt when my soy garlic wings had practically no sauce. This time I made sure to specify EXTRA sauce and stated what happened last time. I wasn't upset about it as I figured they were working out the kinks due to the grand opening. However this "extra" sauce is maybe (maybe even less than) the regular amount of sauce that I've gotten at the various other bbq chicken locations I've been to. Guess it's back to the Fullerton location. read more

I wouldn't come here again. Just like some of the other reviews suggest, the service is terrible. There were multiple open tables for us to sit and they didn't let us sit there even though we ordered and paid for food. She said it was only for dine in customers but there are four open tables and you won't let us have a table? I've never had this problem at literally any other bbq chicken restaurant before and I've been to 4 other bbq chicken restaurants. They didn't tell us in advance that we can only eat at the table if it's dine in only. They just asked if it's dine in or take out. I typically cant finish all of my food at bbq chicken bc they sell their food in big family sized portions and not individual portions which is why I like to order to go to save time. I just eat some until I'm satisfied and then leave. And we were already sitting at the tables waiting for our food for 20 minutes and then she decided to ask us to leave the table. It is not consistent with their rules and it is honestly so rude and inconsiderate of the restaurant to ask you to leave the table when you've already been sitting there for 20 minutes and when you've paid and when there's several open tables. read more

Be love the soy garlic wings! They're so delicious and they always have great customer service!

I am so very happy that Brea now has a BB.Q Chicken. The location is small but does the job. Service was absolutely fantastic. This was the best service we have ever had at a BB.Q Chicken. The boneless golden original is the absolute most flavorful and juicy chicken ever. It was served piping hot. The cole slaw and pickled radish are the perfect garnishes for the meal. The fried dumplings were delicious. My husband and I also shared the bulgogi beef bowl, and it was amazing. Per request, you can also get the cabbage salad with house made dressing. It is so tasty. The server also gave us some mozzarella sticks on the house since it was our first time dining at this location. We washed our food down with ice-cold beer and soju. Overall, we loved everything, and this will be our new favorite location. We unfortunately had bad customer service at a different location, but we can definitely say the service at this location is above and beyond. read more

I was craving for rose tteokbokki but when I saw they offered rose pasta I decided to get that instead. I was a little hesitant when I saw it was 16.99 for pasta but the portion is actually huge and it was delicious. My only concern is the amount of oil used. read more

Placed 2 sm chicken wing orders. However, it seems like they offer NO complimentary ranch or other sauces. I mentioned that the FULLERTON BB.Q offers 1 ranch per order and he said it's owned by another owner. So I paid $2 for 2 ranches after spending $35 for my chicken. seems a bit much. (not to mention it's half the size of the FULLERTON one as well) will be going back to FULLERTON in the future. read more

Bad customer service. Waiting in front for awhile and no one come and ask If I need to pick up or order.

I feel like this chain popped up everywhere all of a sudden but after visiting 2 locations they're consistently good. The original is a favorite although it has a white pepper spice and isn't truest plain. I love this but if you have kids they might think it's spicy. I also tried the honey garlic which is so good especially paired with the white radish. The chicken js always perfectly crispy and their sauces pair really well. Service was good but the older lady seemed overwhelmed which the younger guy working was holding down the fort. They had a lot of orders but seemed to be keeping up. The inside of this location is a bit small so to go is best. I was sad to find out only 2 of their sauces could be purchased separately and it costs $1.50 each. read more

Quality of food is just as good as the other locations. I only wish they had the bugolgi fries, which is what drew me to their franchise to begin with. Friendly staff, and restaurant was clean. read more

For now, this is probably the best Korean Fried Chicken in Brea. Using that as a baseline, theres not much competition in this area yet since Brea is such a food desert. Fingers crossed Brea gets more authentic asian food! Brea has a weird mix of fusion food, nasty asian food, and trash American junk food (with exception to Mendocino Farms and a couple of other places.) Hopefully BB.Q Chicken coming in changes this! I only tried the Spicy Original Wings and boy were they juicy! I will definitely come back and try the rest of the menu at a later date. Ordering online was a breeze. Keep up the good work BB.Q chicken! read more

Such good food! Honey garlic wings was really good and the service was fast. The environment was clean too. Def coming back

Ordered to go. Was told 35 minutes. Got there in 40 minutes, paid. Order supposedly not ready. No problem, they looked busy so a few minutes extra is fine. Waited there for 20 minutes. Then they call my order, which was sitting on the counter since The time I arrived and paid. Got a very unconvincing "sorry bout that". Now the food is cold and disgusting. Lost my business for sure. read more

Man I realized I complain about this problem about a year ago as well. But there is no option for dine in when you order food on the website. Kinda sucks cause the food is good but feels messed up that I get kicked out so you can sit other people down. Especially since it felt racially motivated. I'm also a consistent customer so that's really disheartening. Won't be going there no more read more

I was very surprised and happy to learn that there is a BBQ Chicken in Brea, very close to my house. We decided to check out the new place and again, I was very pleasantly surprised. The service is great and the food is very delicious. Chloe took very good care of us and I am very happy to have a chicken place close to my house. This is my new chicken place. Thank you and keep up the good work. read more
