The food is just so...good. I actually ordered 2 days in a row recently because it was so good. The chicken is fresh, perfectly cooked and crispy. The fries are really tasty - a great match for the wings. I got the. boneless combo with the secret sauce...‍ I've also had their bone-in wings and they're really good as well! But I decided to go boneless this time and I have no regrets! Try both! I would add a photo but I always devour my food before I can get a pic. I'll try again next time read more

Honestly? I feel ripped off. Go to Popeyes and you will feel much better. What they call wings are really HALF wings. Yes. I'm saying when you order an order of 12, you are really getting six. A wing generally has two edible sections. One section has one bone that looks like a drumstick. The other section has two bones. They cut the wing in half and give you those parts and call each part a wing. That's dishonest. Now on top of that, they are really small, seriously small. It's pathetic. This double counting of a single wing.....well, it's basic Chicken anatomy! It's a verifiable biological fact! If you don't get one of their sauces, the chicken is very bland. I did not have any other selections outside of wings so I don't know if they chop up any of their other pieces like that and call them two pieces. Skip this place and go to Popeyes. You'll get a much better value and get better chicken all the way around. I love Korean chicken and have enjoyed many places around the city. This is not one of those. I really wish this place could do better because street needs better businesses. I have to say I'm really angry about this because I don't like being deceived. If you go to Popeyes or KFC or any other place that says that they specialize in chicken, they don't rip you off with tiny half wings. And again, They need to put a little spice on the chicken itself and not rely upon the sauce to do all the spicing work. read more

Food is great, staff is friendly! Good location. It's a little small of a seating area so seems like a more grab and go place. read more

I liked the honey garlic sauce on the 1/2 of a whole chicken. It was very good. I went back the next day and tried their special sauce. I liked the honey garlic better and I'll get the boneless wings next time. One warning, they make each order fresh so it takes some time. I recommend ordering ahead for carry out read more

We love this Bb.q chicken location! We always order pickup and the food is always hot and fresh. I recommend the honey garlic, soy garlic, and galbi flavors. The honey garlic is subtly sweet and garlicky, the soy garlic is savory with a good soy garlic flavor, and galbi is smoky and has a little heat and sweetness. The service is always quick and kind here! It has an ambiance like your local fried chicken shop. If you like Korean friend chicken, this is the place for you! read more

OMG. I ordered this place online. It's literally some of the best fried chicken I ever had. I don't know if it's because I recently gave up vegetarianism of 16 years (lol) but this food is soooo good! I've been obsessed and ordering every week! The kimchi fried rice is very good too. Huge portions and I don't even really care for rice like that read more

Favorite wing spot. They never miss. Everything is made to perfection. I would recommend this place any day.

Hopping off the red line and need a quick bite to eat? Look no further! I was spontaneously hungry on my commute to a buddies of mine and came across this place. Korean fried chicken always raises my eyebrows (in the best way possible) so I thought I'd give it a try. The chicken is perfectly breaded! I'm a light-breading kind of guy, and bb.q definitely did not over do it. The sauce I got was the Special Sauce and it was good. It had some sweetness with a little kick. I'll give some of the other flavors a try next time. I'm sure I'll find another gem in the 20 sauces they offer! read more

good service and delicious food, will definitely come back! Costumer service is good, location as well.

If you're a fan of crispy, juicy, finger-licking BBQ chicken, this place is a must-try! I stopped by on a whim, and I'm so glad I did. First of all, the chicken is on another level -- perfectly grilled, tender inside, with just the right amount of smoky char. I tried the spicy garlic and honey BBQ flavors, and both were incredible. The spicy garlic had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the honey BBQ was sweet, tangy, and addictive. The sides were also great -- I got the coleslaw and waffle fries, and both were fresh and flavorful. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Service was friendly and fast. The staff actually seemed to care whether I was enjoying my food (rare these days!). The place was clean, casual, and had a cozy vibe -- perfect for a chill dinner with friends or a quick solo meal. Definitely coming back. Next time, I'm trying the soy garlic wings and their mac & cheese! read more

I ordered on the phone for pick up and he completely understood me no problem and when I went to pick it up, my Total was like 29$ with some change and I gave him a 50$. He give me 10 back In return and I end up headed out but I call him back asking him that I just left and how much my order was because I didn't get a receipt and he acted like he didn't even understand what I was saying when I was clearly asking him that I just left and he didn't give me a receipt. I didn't wanna call Him out because it's Christmas but he kept the other 9$ and I know it's not much but he acted like he couldn't understand me after I was asking for my reciet and how much it was read more

The perfect meal to order pickup on the way to the beach less than a 10 min walk away! We ordered 8 pieces each of the honey garlic and hot spicy. Definitely recommend both. Be warned the hot spicy is spicy. It helps if you alternate between the honey garlic and hot spicy. Honey garlic has a nice sweet flavor but not too sweet. I've also tried the spicy galbi which wasn't very spicy compared to the hot spicy. I ordered through their app which made it easy to order, pick up, and earn points! read more

The wife and I got carry out from here after work. Starting with the good, the wings were delicious. We ordered Secret spicy wings and Mala hot wings. I had some trouble telling them apart, but they were juicy, properly cooked and well breaded. The wife preferred the secret spicy. She gives the wings 5 stars. The fries we ordered with the wings were average. They needed some salt. The Spicy original chicken sandwich needs some help. It was dry and tasteless. I would recommend ordering some sauce on the side. I may try that next time. Stick with the wings. read more

Highly recommend this spot if you're into bold flavors, crispy chicken, and authentic Korean street food vibes.

Ordered pick up, took a little longer than what we were told, no big deal. Got a spicy chicken and soy garlic, they were both good. Very pricey, but we did huge chunks is of chicken. Will definitely be going back! read more

Ordered 36 wings and 6 were missing? Plus - the wings that I did get were laughably small. Some of them were even half wings. ...a chicken wing is supposed to have two bones. Am I crazy? Also - not very much meat and the staff was totally careless when I called in to point this out. Of course, I read the yelp reviews and a lot of people have had the same experience. From what I can tell, the owner offer apologizes and says they "do their best." Their "best" sucks. They are either gaslighting or out of touch with their business. I'd ask for a refund but it's not even worth the energy. Lazy business and lazy management. Just because you respond to bad yelp reviews doesn't make you a responsible owner. Make the drive down broadway to Crisp. I'd say it's about 500% better. Honestly ruined my day as I can only afford to eat out once or twice a month. Order anything else. read more

I placed an order online for small orders of golden and secret spicy wings and it is a tad pricey for what it is... nearly $30 after tax for 16 wings, but I'm going to judge on taste and quality only. The texture and flavor of the naked golden wings proved to be exceptional - crispy skin and breading and flavorful meat was greatly appreciated in its plainest form. The secret spicy wings were a bit on the sweet side, not spicy at all and lacked depth in flavor, but the texture of the chicken skin was still crispy with the sauce. Glad I have a good Korean fried chicken joint in the 'hood so I don't need to make a trip all the way to CM Chicken at Lincolnwood. I'll definitely be back, but will try other different flavors - perhaps spicier ones. I didn't get any Korean pickled radish in my order which automatically is given as complimentary side at other Korean restaurants so that was disappointing. Another reviewer said, I have to ask for it -- so I'll try to remember next time. read more

The crust was perfectly golden and crisp, shattering with a satisfying crunch. It wasn't greasy or overbearing but had just the right balance of spices and seasoning to give it a bold, savory kick. Each piece was evenly coated, ensuring every bite was packed with flavor. The chicken inside was incredibly juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. It practically melted in my mouth. There was no dryness or overcooking--just perfectly moist, flavorful meat that paired beautifully with the crisp exterior. read more

Service was fantastic and friendly! We were also given complimentary drinks and sides which was lovely. The food was quite good!

So good! Food is always fresh. Service is quick and the restaurant is clean. The chicken is always crispy!

Delicious food (I ordered the fried rice) and great service. Conveniently located as well, right by the red line. I'll be back!

Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! The chicken wings and the rice cakes were really good! I tried the secret spicy sauce on the wings and it was good! Highly recommend the secret spicy sauce! There is some seating inside but for the most part it looks like a carry out spot. read more

Little bit expensive for what it is. $13.99 for six chicken wings? Got the Secret Spicy and the Gangnam style wings. What they were is more sweet than anything. Which is not my jam. The BF thought they were great, so if you like sweet chicken wings, you may l like these. I really liked the Kimchi Fried Rice (with cheese!). That is what will get me coming back, the flavor for that was very good. Clean interior, adorable, friendly guy taking orders. Welcome to Edgewater Beach! read more

For dinner tonight I decided to try this place. 5 minutes from my house which it's perfect. I order the golden chicken wings 8 pieces ($13.00) and Coke ($2). It's a chicken place which the neighborhood needs. The restaurant is cute and small seat less than 20. The cook and server were nice and friendly. This place will be on list of restaurants in my hood for lunch or dinner. read more

Ok i went back for the sandwich.. confirmed 2 times it wasn't spicy and they gave me a spicy chicken sandwich... will not be coming back

My favorite Korean Fried Chicken place. If you order from their own (a bit clumsy) website, it will be slightly cheaper.

Summary: Probably the bb.q chicken location I've tried to date; recommend if you like fried chicken in general. Go for the wings over the boneless, and for sauce, I'd say garlic or cheesling wings. Good: The cook on the wings was spot on. Crispy mainly from the skin but still lightly breaded on the edges. The soy garlic covered just enough and paired well from the natural juices within the meat. Quick, quiet spot for lunch - they have lunch deals including fries and a drink for a decent meal. They also have outlets spread throughout the location if you need to work through lunch! Bad: In comparison to the wings, the boneless fell a little flat. Still overall good, but it was not as juicy nor crispy nor flavorful. Also, the pickled radish was extremely watered down, so it was basically just radish? I think Gang Jeong was okay, but not to the same level as soy garlic or (probably) honey garlic. Ugly: Nothing to note! read more

30$ for 16 wings and a side of radish (actually 14.5 wings as one was missing and we got one that was a broken half with the shatteted bone pieces scattred in the meat blob). If you look at the menu and you feel like those prices are a ripoff it's because they are - those aren't full 2 part wings like we expected for that price, nor are they remotely big or meaty. I have Never spent 30$ on what is supposed to be a cheap staple on a meal for 2 and still felt so hungry after. The teensy 1$side of pickled radish was similarly ludicrously priced. The real shame is that thevwing sauces we tried were actually pretty good, but in no universe, no matter how much post covid inflation hits meat prices, does a wimpy sized chicken wing justify being almost 2 dollars a pop-especially when they don't even bother doing any basic quality control in the kitchen or actually like counting the number of wings they put in an order. i could never justify going back here or recommending it to anyone, both of us dining felt cheated after getting takeout from here-almost like we were punished for venturing out to try something new when we could have gone to that other established korean wing shop down the street from here.. You know the one that charges less than half the price.. for wings that are probably twice this size. read more
