I have had a number of the other BB.Q Chicken locations, but had my first experience at this location recently. Friends and I came in on a Friday for dinner. We were seated right away; however, we were super lucky to come in when we did since they have limited seating options available as they still practice COVID precautions. We ordered quite a bit of food including the boneless golden olive, BB wings, soy garlic wings, galbi wings, french fries, cabbage salad, and a small cup of radish. One of the favorites were definitely the Original Golden Olive! It was so juicy, moist, and flavorful! Everything came out incredibly fresh that it was hard to wait for the food to cool so we wouldn't burn our mouths biting into it! What I enjoyed most was that the batter on the chicken is both thin but also still very crispy! It kept us from feeling too heavy after all the chicken we ate! One thing to note is while other Korean fried chicken spots tend to give the cabbage salad and radish and a complimentary side, you do have to pay for it here. The radish wasn't pickled in a way I prefer so I would skip this next time. One friend mentioned that the soy garlic marinade was heavy on the garlic and not so balanced with the soy...but still ended up being his 2nd fave flavor! The staff were helpful and I appreciate their patience with all the jokes my partner was making. Overall, had a pleasant experience and will think of this the next time I crave Korean fried chicken! read more

My hubs and I were looking for a late night snack and finally decided to have a sit-down meal bb.q chicken. Previously, we have taken our chicken to go. We were greeted warmly by several staff members. The owner shared that the place was under new ownership as of a few days ago. The restaurant has a big open feel and there is a table that would accommodate a larger party. If you love K-pop, there is a large screen playing K-pop videos :) We ordered the Golden Olive Drumsticks which came out piping hot with a side of white radishes. Seriously....I can never have regular fried chicken again because this chicken was beyond fresh and perfectly seasoned. It went perfectly with the IPA on tap! **Keep in mind that the chicken takes about 20 minutes to prepare. Definitely worth the wait!** We will definitely be back! read more

The chicken wings were good but they charge three dollars for ranch sauce and on top of that their corn cheese is so bad. Please take this advice and change the recipe. The cheese was sour! And didn't match well with the corn. One of the worst corn cheese I ever ever had. read more

--LOCATION-- in the plaza near the Ralphs and GoodFellow Coffee cafe --PARKING-- plenty parking in the parking lot --MENU-- good ol' fried chicken, tteokbokki, and other drunky food. Good variety of flavors for chicken too. We got both bone-in and boneless, soju, and beer. We ordered original, BB, and secret spicy. Secret spicy isn't that spicy, FYI... but still taste good (: When you order in, the pickled radish is complimentary! --SEATING-- booth and table seating (or to-go works!) We had a party of 6 and it was not a problem getting seated around 7 PM, Friday night. --SERVICE-- super nice, no issues --OVERALL-- pretty solid spot and I like that they have a rewards stamp card. I live nearby so this is gonna be a staple spot for me. Not mind blowing but I'll be back for sure. read more

We ordered BBQ chicken for dinner with the family and of course my family loved it! This is our go to spot for korean wings. We always order the bb wings, honey soy, spicy galbi, french fries, and the cheese dukbokki. The service here is always so nice. Personally my favorite is the bb wings and the spicy galbi. The bb wings looks like regular fried chicken, but the seasoning is actually inside the breading! The spicy galbi has this kick and semi sweet to it which I really like. I always feel bad having a big order, but the service here is always so understanding. read more

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO THE CERRITOS LOCATION !!!! I was in shock at the difference in proportions for the SAME FOOD AND PRICE. The Cypress location has been ripping everyone off cause wtf I went to the cerritos one today and was so confused as to why i was getting so much food, then i saw other people complaining about the sizes at this location. (I order from cypress all the time but not anymore) Y'all eating all the rice cakes for yourselves or something? read more

Quick service, good and crispy chicken. Just felt they could have sauced the chicken a bit more.

I've had a lot of Korean fried chicken in my adventures in gluttony but bb.q, a giant chain, has topped them all. Am I even allowed to say that? There's something about the way they season and fry the chicken here that makes it so flavorful and deep and crispy without being painfully oily. The chicken is always so juicy and the flavors go deep into each piece and not just on the surface. So many chicken places have great seasoning on the skin but the meat is so bland and sometimes a bit "strong" which indicates poor quality or improper storage (gross). BB.q is so friendly and clean and yes, some of the sauces are a bit too heavy handed but you can always order lightly sauced you know? The spicy isn't really spicy which is the only real complaint I have but other than that I've been happy every time. This is the only bb.q location I've been to because my first visit was so pleasant I just kept returning. I have another location that just opened closer to my house but I like it here. The husband and wife who run this shop are so cute and sweet. We've been here a few times to order to go and had a beer while waiting. They were happy to talk to us about the Korean beers and we shared with them some info about the European beers they have on tap. Oh. They have Hoegaarden and Kloud on tap so we'll both be happy we we decide to dine in. Thank you to the sweet couple who run this location. We'll be back again soon! read more

i usually order from another location because they have options like sotteok sotteok, and i also prefer their rose tteokbokki, but i didn't feel like driving farther. the soy garlic chicken was okay, but my son didn't care for his original fried chicken. i was more annoyed that for 6 bucks we got a layer of fries in a small to go box. read more

Stopped by this restaurant expecting a pleasant meal, but the experience was ruined by the shockingly rude service. I won't be coming back.

My favorite Korean chicken spot! Wanted to try something new so got the chicken sandwich! It had a good amount of sauce and was overall great. super crispy onion rings too. nice service and workers! andy is the best and the most hard worker there. I usually do not write reviews but this place was great. 10/10 would recommend for all the chicken cravings read more

This was by far THEE BEST Korean style Fried Chicken I've had in a loooooooong time!!!! I don't care about the negative review "complaints" because this was "love at first bite"!!!! OK, so where do I start??? Well, my sister wanted pizza and wings. Only I told her I didn't want wings from a pizza place so I'll go order the chicken from elsewhere. Whipped out my trusty old Yelp app and discovered BB*Q Chicken not too far from the pizza joint. I'm a first-timer, so here's a quick take on my small order from this K*FC: ~ Originally I was going to order wings, but to feed a whole family I obviously had to order a whole chicken. So I chose the Half & Half ($23.49) with the Golden Olive Original and Secret Spicy. ~ I easily found it, parked up front for pick up, entered, and noticed all the tables/chairs shoved to the sides. Thanks covid, you really know how to ruin things. Spoke to Andy and had asked him for any other suggestions since it was my first time here. He said, I made the right choice picking the Golden Olive Original as this is what they're known for. It's what he recommends to everyone. If you can't decide, go with the default. Thanks Andy! ~ On the way home, I was SOOOO tempted to open the box in the car, but I didn't. That lucious aroma will force you drive home faster. ~ Got home, washed my hands, opened that box, and then BOOM INSTANTLY DELIRIOUS!!!! Grabbed that first original piece, took a bite, and AHHH CRISPY JUICY HEAVEN!!! nuff said!!!! ~ The other half, the Secret Spicy, had both a sweet taste with a hot one. But not too too hot, just enough heat to give it a little kick. And the sweetness was more like a honey glaze that coated that chicken pieces. These too were also so scrumptious! Do I recommend this place and was it worth it? HANDS DOWN, YES!!!! Do I still need to try the wings? Yes, I'll be back. Do I care about the negative reviews? Again... pssshhh "I DON'T CARE"!!!! Do they have a stamp card? Yes... why did I move to Portland, grrr read more

Solid place for korean fried chicken :) Ordered the half secret spicy chicken ($12) and dduk bokki (spicy rice cakes, $8). Our order came with shredded cabbage with dressing and pickled daikon radishes. Everything was delicious!! Chicken nice and juicy, wasn't spicy at all for me, although others thought otherwise. Sauce was really sticky though, and pretty sweet. Keep in mind "half chicken" does not mean you get an actual half chicken complete with thigh and breast, it's more like an assortment of random chicken pieces. Service was great, parking was easy. read more

We normally go to the cerritos location and will be sticking to the cerritos location. The rose cheese dduk bokki is the same price $14.99 but you get MAYBE half (more like 40%) of what the cerritos location gives you. Also, we ordered the whole chicken half original and half secret spicy sauce. We even called back to clarify the order because the young guy on the phone sounded confused. Of course the bf didn't check our order before leaving so when he brought it home (in the rain) I immediately told the bf they gave us a half order of secret spicy chicken. Also, the 3 of 10 pieces were more like popcorn chicken size. The bf called back to tell them they got our order wrong and the young guy said sorry and hung up. The bf is upset and going back in the rain to ask for a refund. For the amount of food, this is NOT worth it. read more

*Late Post* We came across this gem on our way back home to San Diego from Santa Barbara. When we realized it was getting late and to the point where we were very limited to our food selections. So we were doubtful that we can fulfill our Korean Chicken Wing cravings. We thought wrong! So when searching Yelp for Korean Fried Chicken in between Long Beach and Garden Grove, there was just way too many selections that were still open around 8:30pm-9pm to our surprise. Thankfully we decided to go here instead of the other 100s out there. First of all, service and the quality of wings was over the top! The flavors was all there and the balance of seasoning was right on point. The wings weren't over or under battered and the cabbage salad paired perfectly with our meals. In addition, we did order like 30minutes before they closed and usually workers are pretty much beat towards the end of the night (from experience) but the employees here were actually very communicative and still happy to serve their customers.so Kudos to that! Can't forget to mention, the wings were crispy! We really didn't want to regret leaving without ordering more for later that night or for the next day, so we did jus that. We really made the best decision that night by simply choosing an underrated Korean Wing location where we didn't even have to wait long and food came out perfect. Will be back for more. Recommend: 10/10 ***** read more

The chicken here is always crispy and coated very well with flavor. I would definitely reccomend calling ahead for pickup as it can be a bit of a wait because of how fresh the items are! A favorite of mine are the Spicy Galbi and Wings of Fire. They warn you that these spices are hard to handle, but they're very tolerable and have a bit of sweetness to them as well. One of the workers, Andy, is always very kind and accomodating! One of the best KFC in the area :) read more

There's a lot of Korean chicken options now a days, but I think bb.q chicken is one of the best. 10/10 definitely recommend. Crispy and flavorful wings with great service. Regarding if I order to go or dine in they're always consistent. The cheeseling is one of my favorite flavors. The pickled radish, rice cakes, and cabbage salad are also a must try. Will always continue coming back to enjoy the noms. read more

Im usually happy with the food and my order here. This time we wanted to try the lemon pepper. When we opened the our to-go box we were shocked and amused. The lemon pepper chicken wings were tiny like they shrunk during frying. Our other box of wings came out as expected. Im not sure if this normal for this flavor but I would nit recommend. Taste and size was a let down. read more

I thought this place was going to be as good as the location In Buena Park but it wasn't :/ by the time I picked up my order the fries were soggy and the chicken was already cold. Breading was just falling apart. I had got the BB wings and it honestly just taste like KFC wings. I prefer the Buena Park location since they have more options on their menu. Definitely will not be ordering from this place again read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I have never felt the need to write a bad review about an establishment before today. My fiancé and I have been loyal costumers to BBQ chicken and have always raved about it to our family and friends. Today my fiancé called in to make an order for pick up. I was by him while he made the pick up order via phone call. He had repeated the order 3x before hanging up- just to make sure everything was correct. It was a simple order: 10 piece golden olive crispy drumsticks. Or so we thought it was simple enough. As he arrived to pick up the order, he noticed the order was wrong. They gave him 10 piece of the secret spicy instead of the golden olive in which he ordered. Okay, simple fix right? Or so we thought. They refused to accommodate and even argued that we were the ones who made a mistake. My fiancé is soft spoken, patient and non confrontational. He tried to reason with them, but it was as if they refused to listen and fix the problem. There was no apology made about their mistake on their behalf. Even with this terrible service and experience, my fiancé placed another order, one in which we originally had placed (because this order was for family, so he wanted to make sure he brought back home the correct item). Not only did he pay for the incorrect order, he had to place another order and pay again. We will not be coming back to this establishment. We hope that no one ever experiences this terrible customer service in the future! read more

Why are the cheesling fries always sold out now??? Every time! This location used to be better before the new owners.

I've had bb.q Chicken twice now and once was from a different location. This Cypress location has such great quality chicken for their boneless wings. I'm not sure if every location is different in quality, but picking up food from here definitely made me super happy. Our group ordered the original crunchy chicken, maple crunch chicken and soy garlic chicken - all boneless. We also ordered some fries, rice and daikon sides. Flavors of the chicken were pretty good, but the maple crunch was a bit too buttery and heavy. read more

It's fine, it's good, but nothing special. Just another typical Korean chicken place that doesn't really distinguish itself. I came here for lunch and was greeted as I entered. It looks like a place where you'd order at the counter but I was immediately told to sit anywhere and a menu was brought to me. The interior is casual with a dozen tables. I decided to order their lunch special which was offered at a great price: 6 pieces of boneless chicken, fries and a drink. From their seven choices, I decided on their original golden olive chicken. They cook to order so it took about 20 minutes. The exterior of the deep fried chicken was crisp while the meat was juicy. Nothing spectacular but decent. The fries were very crisp on the outside but lacked seasoning or flavor. Service after my order was taken was nonexistent. You have to wave at someone to get anything, which I had to do to request my bill and after 10 minutes finally took it up to the counter to pay. Since the table service is so poor they really should make this an "order-at-the-counter" casual eatery. Lastly, as any standard KFC place does, they have a variety of beers, American and Asian, on tap and in bottles. read more

This place just open about less than 2 months ago. I ordered the original golden olive 1/2 chicken togo. They make it fresh from each order. It took about 15 mins for the wait so I went next door to Ralph's to buy grocery. The chicken was still piping hot when I got home. The package it in a nice paper box. The chicken was juicy and definitely way better than KFC. Will definitely come back again to try the other items on their menu. Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

Good but can be pricey. They had frequent user coupon but do not honor anyone. Sucks I was looking forward to my free chicken!

First time i tried was in Hacienda Heights, but this place is wayyy closer to me thank god bc its the best kfc i tried. I asked for the fries extra crispy. When i came in the guy said that they didn't lid it so that the fries would stay crispy love it! It stayed perfectly crispy rather than it getting soggy with the closed. SO GOOD! read more

Best Korean fried chicken! Call in to order for pick up, and it's usually ready within 20 mins. Get a stamp card because you'll be going there frequently. Boyf and I live within walking distance, so this is our go-to place for the days we don't feel like cooking and want something delicious. Our favorite is the Galbi Wings-- it's like a Korean bbq-style smoky sweet/savory flavor. I also like the honey garlic and secret spicy (not super spicy but has a good kick). The best thing about this place is that their wings are consistently cooked every time. I find other wing places (Cough wingstop cough) sometimes gives you overcooked or undercooked wings. Not here! Bbq Chicken has given us perfectly cooked, juicy, hot wings each of the 10+ times we've ordered. Other notable mentions: - Original golden olive chicken has a bit of a spice to it. We ordered this once for my nieces who love fried chicken and they said it was a little spicy. They still demolished it though haha that's how good this place is! - The fries are bombbbb. Very crispy, but a little small portion-wise for the price - You get free pickled radishes with each order! They're the perfect compliment to the chicken. Crisp and cool. We get 1 side of radish per 10 piece chicken order. read more

I don't really leave bad reviews but this is ridiculous and I am beyond frustrated. This place is nearby and open late, so I always order from here after 9 p.m., after working all day. Late night food is never going to have the greatest quality or service, fine. But this place has soured my night my last three visits -- three out of three is enough. First strike, five months ago, I ordered wings to-go. I arrive, give them my name, and am handed a bag. I go home and it's a completely different order. Great. I'm tired and just want some food, but now I have to go back to pick up my actual order. Are they sorry? No. They say "sorry, but there were two orders with the same name and I asked you if this was the right bag." Blaming me for the mix up is not an apology, and no, you didn't ask me anything. But ok, benefit of the doubt, maybe I just didn't hear them and they thought my taking the bag they were holding out confirmed it was mine. I am upset but I let it go. Strike two, two months ago, I call to make an order. I want coleslaw. They say "corn salad?" No, cole-slaw. "Corn cheese?" NO. Cole. Slaw. "We don't have that here." But your menu literally has it on there. I am looking at a picture of your menu taken ONE MONTH AGO. "No, I don't know what you are talking about. You mean corn salad?" I say look, I'm going there to pick up my wings so I am going to show you this picture of your own menu when I get there. If you don't sell it anymore, that's fine. But how the heck does coleslaw sound like "corn salad"? I get there. I say, look -- older Asian gentleman says "ohhh, coleslaw! Ok, here you go." Am I losing my mind here? What kind of gaslighting mind game bs is this? I don't have an accent. At all. I am upset, but no harm no foul right? Also, I checked my order before I left this time. Strike three, today. Same order as always, same wings with coleslaw. I arrive, pick up, get home. I did not check my order this time but they got it right! Great! Right? No. They literally sold me rotten coleslaw. This tastes like spoiled saurkraut and smells like expired kimchi. Are you serious? I am compelled to ask someone what is going on. I call them and inform them that their coleslaw seems to have gone bad. They ask if I want to talk to the manager. Sure. Oh, sike, no manager here -- but sorry about that, we think the coleslaw is fine. Again, not a real apology. I ask, did you check and make sure it's not spoiled? They tell me yes, and it is fine. I have had your coleslaw before. It is not supposed to taste bitter and rotten. They say they don't know what my coleslaw tastes like, but theirs is fine -- and sorry, but they are closing soon. What am I supposed to say to that? They literally sold me garbage and are acting like I'm being petty. So here I am, leaving this as a warning for anyone else who cares. *2 stars instead of 1 only because the chicken is still good -- but this is seriously ridiculous. read more

I love this chicken! We normally order once a week at the Cerritos or Buena Park branch and no complaints there. But somehow this branch has smaller size chicken and not as crispy as the other 2 branches. I've had this chicken quite often, but this is the first time I was disappointed. Take a look athe pic of the whole original chicken I've ordered and compare it to the pic in the box. Both Cerritos and Buena Park branches comes pretty close to this except this branch in Cypress. I called to complain and asked if I can back and replace with another one. They totally disregard my complaint and snarkly said " No one else complained today!" Just to say, this is the last time I'm going to this branch. Save yourself sometime and just go to the Cerritos branch or the Burna Park one. read more

Gangnam is still the #1 favorite flavor for my fam & I, but we have a new second favorite flavor! It's called super fried or sup fried ? I can't remember, but it has its own separate page when they give you the menu to order. Also, I appreciate that this business took the time to update the holiday hours on Yelp. Great News! They have CORN CHEESE now!!! And other new side dishes that I can't wait to try like kimchi fried rice! Another tip is to make sure you get their new stamp card. I promise you that you WILL definitely be returning so might as well get that card started on the first visit! Enjoy! read more

bb.q Chicken - Honey Garlic chicken (boneless 10pc) - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

Let me first say that my family and I are huge fans of Kyochon. It was as our first intro to Korean fried chicken (kfc) and remains the standard for us. So take this review with that in mind. We were looking for kfc in the area and decided on this place based on the pictures we saw. Well... as you can tell by the five-star rating, BBQ Chicken did not disappoint. We ordered the Soy Garlic. It was on the sweeter side with just a tiny hint of pepper. The wings are perfectly crispy while still really juicy. For sides we ordered steamed rice and sweet potato fries. Our meal also included complimentary shaved cabbage salad and pickled radish. We all noted that the radish was less pungent, salty and sour as ones we've had at other places. For us, that's a positive. We'll definitely be coming back and will probably try the Gangnam Style wings next. read more
