    Everytime my family and I order a fried chicken from here, it always looks like they gave us someone else's leftovers. This happened multiple times. We're very dissapointed, we tried this chicken place multiple times because its the only korean fried chicken near us, and the condition of the meat is just not good at all.

    Bb.q chicken keeping up that same great quality everywhere. Staff here are super friendly and on top of everything. Restaurant was super clean which is always a plus.

    Caribbean Spice Boneless

    I've been to this chain a few times as well as a similar brand but I felt like its time to finally get a review going! The food was much better than I expected and the quality of the fry and flavor was amazing! I came in slightly conservative with my thoughts as I'm much more supportive of their competition but I was definitely pleased with how their quality was! Soy garlic - on the slightly saltier side but definitely is complemented well with their radish. My always choice when I try Korean fried chicken! Caribbean - very curious taste as you can see where the inspiration for the flavor came from. The spices and sauces play well for a great and balanced sweet and seasoned flavor. Wings of fire - I did expect a bit more heat from them but it is definitely a classic sweet and fiery flavor. The heat definitely builds up as you go and would give your average customer the sweats! The cashier was kind and quick to receive us as we entered and made sure that we got our food as soon as it came out! The interior is very clean and made for a later dinner with the family or a late hangout with friends. I was boppin to their music choices and my table was feeling it too despite not being huge fans of kpop haha Overall I am very happy with the flavors and the quality of the chicken that I got and didn't have much to complain about here!

    Boneless Caribbean Jerk chicken with side of rice (take-out, my bowl at home). Sweet, spicy, delicious.
    Paul S.

    Although it's a regional chain, each location feels distinctly like a ma & pa establishment, especially the friendly service and clean front dining area. The food is expertly prepared and if you desire flavors with a Korean influence, look no further. I've only had the chicken here to date, but bone-in or boneless, there's something for everyone. The crispy batter fried in clean oil yields a brilliant golden brown to the finished product. I asked about the boneless on my first order and learned that they use thigh meat, in big portions, which yields a flavorful and tender end result. If you're thinking about boneless from Wing Stop et al., think again. My current favorite flavor is the Caribbean jerk with its spicy and savory blend of peppers, allspice, and cinnamon. Over a bowl of rice at home, just add sesame seeds and scallions to liven up the presentation. The big screen tvs often show World Cup games, so grab a booth and stay awhile.

    Love this palace!!! I've only been to a different location and they just opens one in my town (Riverside) definitely coming back here love the atmosphere in here and love the food definitely recommend if you haven't tried it.

    Half and Half & Half Whole Chicken (golden and special)
    Ashley C.

    I've been here a couple times, and it's always amazing. The chicken is crispy, meaty, and delicious. You can't go wrong with the half and half whole chicken (golden original and special). Don't forget the radish! The rose ddeok-bokki pairs well with the chicken. Service is great and the establishment is clean. If you're in the mood for drinks, they have a good selection of sodas, Korean beer, and soju. Great place for yummy food and chill vibes!

    The food here is so good we went 3 times just this week. So so happy we finally have a delicious Korean chicken spot close to home that's open pretty late. The chicken is cooked to order so it's crispy and hot when we get it. It's even crispy when we take it home (as long as we leave the box open in the car en route). We tried the half and half, which was pretty good... But our favorites have got to be the Cheese & Honey ones. The place is clean and the staff friendly. There's parking right in front but also across the street there's a parking structure (saw it but never needed to use it so I don't know if it's paid or free). Would definitely keep coming back here for their delicious wings.

    Honey Garlic
    Armando T.

    While I'm doing my jury duty, I came across bbq chicken in downtown Riverside so I tried & WOW, this place has the best & crispiest boneless honey garlic chicken I ever tried. The sweet potatoes fries were crunchy, I'm impressed. This is establishment is very clean and restroom is very well maintained. So when you are in downtown Riverside, may be doing errands highly recommend this place. Also service is great & friendly

    Patricia U.

    Wow, delish even when delivered! Still chrispy, full of flavor and very warm. We will definitely visit the restaurant.

    I've been to other bb.q Chicken locations that have ready-to-go boxes under heat lamps, but this downtown Riverside spot makes everything fresh to order -- which means you'll be waiting about 15-20 minutes. When I went to pick up an online order, it wasn't too busy, but service was still a little slow since there was only one person juggling the register, dine-in service, and takeout orders. That said, the food quality definitely makes up for the wait. The chicken is super crispy and flavorful, just as good as other locations! Parking can be a bit limited -- there are a few spots right out front, but there's also a parking structure just across the street. Overall, a great addition to the Riverside area :)

    quick delicious fresh Not cheap A lot of flavor options Lunch specials Friendly Loud

    Boneless chicken with secret sauce, not spicy at all. A little sweet. I tasted the secret ingredient but i wont spoil the surprise.
    Dee W.

    For a casual but delicious chicken and korean inspired meal, this is top notch! Definitely worth the price! You will not be disappointed in the chicken... actually the kimchi fried rice was so good too! Order from a counter, but they bring the food to you. However, you have to get your own silverware, water and napkins. And clean up after yourselves. The food came to us quickly, maybe 15 minutes, or so. They sell beer and soju and canned soda... no free refills. But the food is so worth it! Original bone in wings were piping hot! The secret sauce wings are also great. French fries are fantastic! We want to come back and try other items from the menu. Go check them out!

    An order of the half and half chicken , kimchi fried rice and Ddeok-Bokki

    This has become my fave spot for lunch on the weekends. The chicken taste just like it did in Korea. It's moist, juicy, crispy The sauces are finger licking good My fave sauces are Gangnam & secret. Can never go wrong with the original Don't forget to order a beer and a bottle of soju to share. We continue to go back.

    When will it open?

    Let me start off by saying this, I AM ONLY GIVING THEM 5 STARS BECAUSE OF CAM(Cameron) !!!!…read more Every time we come here the wait time to be seated is 20+ minutes, when NO ONE IS EVEN IN THERE. Empty tables everywhere ! But the last two times we went, we had the pleasure of cam being our server ! He is so sweet and accommodating! Other than that, I agree with every 1 star review they have ! They are not lying, this place sucks. Aside from cam ! He deserves better !

    My family and I went on Saturday, June 27, 2026 to watch the FIFA World Cup game. We put our name…read moreon the waiting list and requested a booth. The host told us the wait would be about 25 minutes. There were quite a few people ahead of us. As we stood waiting, we noticed several tables and booths sitting empty. I asked the host, "Why isn't anyone sitting at those tables and booths?" Instead of giving a simple answer, he tried to sound like a pseudo-intellectual and gave a long-winded explanation that didn't really make sense. He was basically trying to say, "We don't want to overwhelm the servers." Well, why the heck didn't you just say that in the first place? The game started, and we continued watching while we waited... and waited... and waited. We ended up waiting for about an hour, even though we had been told it would only be 25 minutes. I saw the manager speaking with the host, so I asked if we were even close to being seated. The manager replied, "Yes, you're next." So we waited... and waited... and waited. Eventually, we turned around to see how many people were still waiting behind us and realized the waiting area had almost completely cleared out. There were only two people left waiting! So my friend asked the host, "When are we going to be called? You seated people who came in after us." He responded, "Okay, let me clean a table for you." Keep in mind, we had requested a booth, and there was an available booth that just needed to be bussed. Instead, he cleaned off a table and said, "Okay, I can seat you now." We replied, "We see there's an open booth." He looked at my friend and said, "I see you're adamant about having a booth." Well, yeah! That's what we requested from the very beginning. My friend, doing his best to stay calm, simply said, "Let's go." This is exactly why we usually go to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Moreno Valley. Better service, great hosts and servers, and managers who actually care. DO NOT GO TO THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS AT THE RIVERSIDE TYLER MALL. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! Note: I will be speaking with the manager. Hopefully he remembers what happened. If possible, I'll also be contacting corporate.
