Always solid Korean fried chicken here! In my opinion, they do the original fried chicken best, especially if you prefer it crispy and flavorful without being covered in sauce. A cold beer or bottle of soju is practically essential alongside the chicken, and they always have both available. The food usually takes around 20 minutes to come out, but you can call ahead about 10-15 minutes before arriving to shorten the wait. The staff and servers are laid-back and friendly, making this an easy spot for a casual meal and drinks. read more

I really love the food at this location. I always get the spicy galbi and I love the saucy coating on it, and they are perfectly crispy every time. It is great paired with the rice, and the pickled radish is a good palate cleanser. However, the service from the male servers is consistently disappointing. Every time I visit when they are working, the service is significantly slower. I often see them standing around doing nothing while the female servers are running around doing most of the work. They rarely check in on the table unless food is being delivered, and getting the check takes forever even when they are just standing by the register. My party and I usually have to walk up to the register ourselves just to ask to be checked out. I feel bad for the female staff because they are perfectly attentive and seem to be carrying the weight of the service. Also, a heads up on their rewards program: it's pretty weak. You earn 100 points per $1, but you need 5,000 points just for a side of steamed rice. Spending $50 for a $2 side doesn't feel like much of a reward. I hope management addresses the service imbalance because the food is great, but the experience depends entirely on who is working that day. read more

My friend is obsessed with this place and he has brought me here a few times. The fry here is GOOD quality on everything you order. It feels clean and fresh. I believe they only use olive oil. I love all of the chicken flavor options. The menu is simple and easy to digest. Quick service! read more

We visit thos place since they close late and my wife wants to try Korean fried chicken. And she really loves it we enjoyed all the food. She really loves the takoyaki. I enjoyed the original it is really crispy. The fried pickle is good too as well as the mozarella. Staff are kind and polite. The restaurant is very clean and the rest room as well. We will surely come bavk again. read more

A classic Korean fried chicken spot that satisfies the cravings. I'm just a sucker for any korean chicken place and this one doesn't disappoint. I just love biting into a crispy leg while Kpop is playing and washing it down with a beer and cleansing my palate with pickled radish. While the chicken is great, the sides are pretty meh. I've tried the fries and the takoyaki and both have come out cold and bland but as long as they can do chicken I'm happy. The vibe here is very casual with the classic Kpop music videos on the TV which lets me wind down after a long day. The service here is also something to be desired since it's been consistently slow every time I come. But that's not gonna stop me from coming when the craving for chicken does hit. read more

Rating: 4.4/5 [Postmates delivery] Bb.q is a popular food chain known for its consistent food quality. Pickled Radish ($1.20): Pricey, but they give you a large container. We didn't know that each order already came with a side of pickled radish so we ended up with an extra one. Caribbean Spice Wings (Medium - 9 Pieces, $21.54): Crispy chicken slathered in their special Caribbean jerk sauce. We don't usually eat Caribbean food, so I was surprised when my husband ordered this flavor--but it turned out to be really good! Honey Garlic Wings (Medium - 9 Pieces, $21.54): Brushed with a sweet, soy-based sauce. A classic flavor you can't go wrong with. These were a bit crispier than the Caribbean Spice wings since they weren't as saucy. Cheesling Side Sauce ($3.20): A generous portion of rich, sweet cheese powder sauce--great for an extra flavor boost. However, we barely made a dent in it since the wings were already flavorful enough on their own. read more

I love the fried chicken here! So good and delicious! I usually get the half & half whole chicken with the secret sauce, and it slaps every time! The meat fell off the bone, and chicken was so crispy! Just know it's more expensive than American fried chicken restaurant with smaller chicken pieces. With tax and tip, the half & half came out to be around $41. Service was great, and as usual, K-pop music was blasting with a bunch of TVs showing K-pop music videos lol. FYI this area is busy, especially on weekends, and the parking spots are kind of narrow, so be mindful of that. read more

Clean place to eat in a cool shopping center. Friendly servers, great selection of Korean food and drinks. I have the secret sauce lunch special with the boneless option and their skewers of sausage and those rice cakes. I went to Seoul last month and I think this place does a good job of what they are doing. Good soju choices. I'll be back. read more

LOVE this place - I used to live in Korea and when I'm craving Korean fried chicken this place HITS. My only issue is the limited veggie side dish options - they have pickled radish which I love but I really wish they also had kimchi or some other veg based side dishes!! That said, the prices for a Korean fried chicken meal are pretty standard and the flavors are perfectly authentic, I love their special sauce (it's like Yangyeom), and the honey glaze. SO good. read more

Great food and great customer service! I was looking for something close to the hotel and this spot popped up on yelp. The chicken looked amazing so I figured I would give them a shot and I am glad I did! I was greeted by two very nice ladies working there. Very personable and nice. The food was simply amazing. The chicken wings are fried to perfection. The waffle fries were crispy and tasty. I'll definitely come back here next time I am in the area. Top notch ! read more

I have to say the Koreans have figured out fried chicken at a level of their own . I love it ! I was in So Cal for years and had a few Korean chicken places an BBQ Chicken is in the mix for best. The k pop videos are cool. read more

Yummy Korean style wings and tokbokki. I like their cheeseling wings a lot and just recently tried rosé tobokki which was very tasty too. I always ordered delivery for bbq chicken but dined in for the first time recently. The inside was pretty basic, dark grey decor with some screens with Kpop on it. Service was standard. Overall good choice for Korean style wings in Austin. read more

There was hair in the takoyaki. One of the employees with extremely long hair doesn't tie it up either. Would not return to this location. I don't understand restaurants getting so lenient about hair nowadays. read more

This was my wife and I's first visit--it was a weekday evening, around 6 PM or so and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We were able to be seated right away. The restaurant itself isn't very large inside so any parties greater than 4 should be aware that this spot might not be able to accommodate quickly if it's super busy. For dinner we shared Galbi-flavored wings: sweet, savory and smoky flavors with green onions and sesame seed garnish. I almost asked for ranch on the side but these wings didn't need them with the flavor they were bringing. We were impressed. I believe we ordered a 9-piece and that was enough for 2, unless you're super hungry. On the side we ordered and shared "Cheesling Fries." They were surprisingly sweet with the cheese on top giving off a "powdered" texture--kind of reminded me of the white cheddar popcorn they sell at the grocery store. It was definitely different, but we still liked them. Overall we had a good experience, wasn't amazing, but it was good! We might come back whenever we're in the area. read more

We ordered two different types of wings, the Gan Jeong and the Spicy Galbi. Both were very flavorful and neither of them were particularly spicy (at least in my opinion as a south Asian who can handle spice LOL). I did prefer the spicy Galbi flavor wise. Both came with pickled radishes, which was refreshing. The food came out pretty quick and the servers were attentive. read more

We've ate at this chain restaurants twice at this location and many times in other states. Service was good. The wings were extremely small. Come on owner stop skimping out on regular size wings and get the jumbo size. The wing was not crispy at all which is really disappointing. The waitress recommend a Sichuan flavor which she said was going to be discontinued soon. We also got the spiciest sauce(I forgot the name of that one), which only had a slight hint of spice. read more

First let me say, I live AT LEAST a 30 minute drive from this place. But I've been craving KFC for weeks and finally broke down. After a 2 hour workout yesterday I figured I'd earned it darn it! So I decided to make the trek for what I hoped would be an unbelievable fried chicken experience. First, I'm well acquainted with the cute strip mall it resides in. I got there early so I decided to take advantage and browse the Daiso that's next door. Great idea because with all the time I was able to kill in there, by the time I walked out I was getting a text that my order was ready. Sadly, I didn't get pictures or a feel for the environment of the restaurant being that my order was sitting waiting on the counter. As I stated, with the long drive time was of the essence...And let me tell you, it was the hardest drive I've made in a while! The smell of the freshly made chicken filled my car making my stomach growl. The anticipation killed me the whole way home (and IH35 sucked). I almost couldn't contain myself after making home but I was able to snap a few pics before digging in. I bought a whole chicken half original half hot spicy, galbi wings and 1 pickled radish. First let me tell you, I had an abundance of radish because I must have missed that orders come with some. No matter because the radish was probably my second favorite thing! I tried a piece of each chicken flavor and let me tell you...THIS CHICKEN IS GREAT. I can only imagine if I had eaten in the restaurant and been able to try it completely fresh. Even after the drive it was still crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The flavors were explosive. Each one was addicting in its own way. The hot spicy is HOT. I'm a lover of all things spicy and this took me by surprise. Beware, it's a lot. But still retained the ability to not be just heat. There was still a lot of great flavor to the chicken. The galbi was crispy, sticky, sweet and savory and very addictive. But the best by far was the original. I can't describe the flavor burst, the juicy meat and the perfect crunch (but not so much that it hurts the soft palate of your mouth). The original is what chicken SHOULD be. I cannot express how satisfied I was after eating this meal. With all that said, I do think $60 for chicken, no matter how good, is too much. I just can't in good conscience pay that price for fried chicken. It seems absurd. While I can rave about how delicious it is, I can't say that ANY fried chicken is worth that price. So I'm not too sure how often I'd be back. But if you've got some money to blow on a splurge then I'd say it won't be wasted here. read more

Came on a Wednesday for lunch, and were quickly seated. They weren't too busy, had kpop playing, and overall was a chill vibe. A regular restaurant, normal service, and nothing too crazy. Came to check out the KFC (korean fried chicken) as seen on kdramas lol. Spicy Galbi Flavor Boneless + Gangjeong Flavor Boneless - Flavor of both are not too spicy, and flavor-wise are solid options. Both are flavors that I would get again - However, the chicken had too much breading, and wasn't too crispy. We were the only new customers in the entire place, and expected fresher, fried chicken that is straight from the deep fryer. The chicken didn't seem to hold its' crisp as well as other KFC places, and very quickly turned soggy after a few bites. Soggy and bready, not exactly the best combination. Overall an ok choice for korean fried chicken, but as a chain, the quality is definitely location dependent. read more

Hadn't been here in a few years and glad that I had a real taste for korean fried chicken. And, I'm so glad that I succumbed to my taste because the chicken waa even better than I remembered. We shared a bunch of soy garlic bone-in wings and 1/2 plain fried. The fabulous chicken was enhanced with the waffle fries, coleslaw with the pickled radishe. I won't wait so long next time. read more

Good chicken. Great fries. Great rose spicy rice cakes. Needs more beverages options. Lots of seating.

So very good! If you require your KFC to have that double-fried, extra crispy crust, juicy/tender interior, and complex sauces with tons of zippy flavor, bb.q Chicken at Highland Village (really the Crescent center) is your spot. I love that you can get whole chicken, wings, or boneless pieces and there are tons of sauces to choose from. I've tried all the chicken types and they are all fantastic. We typically stick with our favorite traditional Spicy Galbi sauce (a little sweet, a little sour, a little garlicky) but they all look tasty and there are many options that aren't spicy. Our latest visit for for a Sunday date night Korean street food crawl around the Crescent complex. There is so much good food on this block, so come hungry! Our fave stop of the evening was for a medium basket of crunchy Spicy Galbi boneless nuggets washed down with a shared bottle of Jinro Chamisul Fresh Soju. Service was great, atmosphere was fun, and the A/C was cold. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Food is always good! Chicken was juicy. The rice cake was flavorful. Just a little observation from the server. There was one lady that was wearing super skimpy shorts under a hoodie. At first I thought she was just wearing a hoodie (so I was shocked) Not sure if she was there to work or chill or maybe she just finished her workout but I think it'll be nicer to dress appropriately. read more

Terrible customer service got kicked out for ordering my food to go and trying to dine in afterwords due to it raining outside. Supposedly this is "against policy". I didn't want to make a scene so I just left but the restaurant was literally completely empty this was very uncalled for...I'm still a paying customer at the end of the day read more

It was so yummy crispy delicious, 10 out of 10 the flavor was so good, sweet and spicy.

They consider a 4 person party as a "large party" and apply a large person party fee. One of the first times we were there, the store had just closed but my friend went to the bathroom and as we were waiting for her to come out the lights were turned off for us and the workers looked at us annoyed. not sure if the same workers are still there since this was a while back read more

The best tasting Korean fried chicken in Austin . Always try to stop by the store in Highland area when I'm in town

Service is very good and consistent with the bbq chicken locations I've experienced in San Antonio. However, for some reason their menu prices here are about $1 more. I ordered the half-spicy and half traditional chicken. Their portions were about 50% more than what I got in San Antonio. And they served bone-in pieces I could identify easily... they didn't skimp on the spicy sauce! Definitely worth the extra $1 on their prices!! ... I think they need to send someone to check on the San Antonio area. 4 stars for this location. Their bbq chicken is delicious and price-to-portion is good (compared to other locations). Customer service here is very good! read more

Haven't had Korean Fried Chicken in Austin and was glad to have landed at bbq chicken! The place was pretty empty when we arrived on a Thursday evening at around 7pm and got seated and greeted right away. My husband and I ordered a medium (9 pcs) of bone-in wings, Galbi flavor, an order of Cheesling Fries and two water bottles (which I thought was interesting, we didn't get charged for them though which was nice!). The fries came out first and were different and didn't know what to think at first, but then I couldn't stop going after them. The cheesling dust/seasoning was sweet and savory, almost reminded me of the Sour Cream & Onion flavor Lays, and I loved it! They could've been more crispy, but it was fine! Also, they didn't need the ketchup. Maybe 10ish minutes later the wings arrive, and they look beautifully crispy and smothered in sauce, but didn't want to get too excited because what if the bite and flavor didn't match the appearance of deliciousness? UM YES IT DID. That crisp is perfect, worth the wait, and the flavor was good too - Smokey at first then all the sweetness and tangyness afterwards. Is there a Spicy option? A stronger kick would have been nice. Overall we had a great time at bbq chicken, the only thing that could've made this experience better was if they allowed you to include two flavors in your medium order, sure I'll pay the extra $1? Ambiance was chill too, music in the background, tvs all over, probably not the greatest spot for large groups? Oh and our total was $29 without tip, um yeah that's a great deal, I'll come back for sure! read more

bb.q. Chicken Delivery Review (via Uber Eats) Chicken: Ordered the Korean Spicy Golden Original fried chicken--it was crispy and delicious! The packaging was durable and preserved the crispiness of the wings. Sides: The French fries had a great cut--huge and meaty--but didn't arrive crispy. A quick pop in the air fryer fixed the texture. The coleslaw was fresh and tasty, and the pickled radish was a nice touch. Price: Be ready to pay a bit more--9 wings cost $16.95 on their website but $20.99 via Uber Eats. Overall: A solid delivery with some hits and misses, but overall, the chicken was the star! read more

I had bb.q chicken back in Carrollton Texas last month, and it was so good that I kept bugging my fiance to pick some up for me for this location. I ordered us the Steamed Rice, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, Honey Garlic Boneless Wings, and the Gangnam Style Boneless Wings for pickup at 5:45pm. By the time my fiance got to and from traffic back to Kyle it was about 7:00pm, and the food was still nice and warm! I love the way they serve the chicken in stylized to go boxes, and if you dine in the ambiance is like a fusion k-pop meets lowkey karaoke bar. Definitely will keep coming here! read more

We arrived around 8:30pm and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was helpful and quick. We ordered apps, the half and half chicken (original and special sauce) and drinks.

Food: The food was good and fresh. Service: The service was disappointing. The waiter forgot to bring us something to drink and we had to remind her. We also ordered a salad, which she forgot to bring, and had to ask for it again. We mentioned at the start that we needed separate checks, she gave us one bill. Staffing might have been off that night, as service is usually better on Saturdays. This was the Sunday before president day late in the afternoon. Ambiance: The music was too loud, making it difficult to have a conversation without raising our voices. read more

This place is always soo good! The staff is so nice and everything always comes out nice and hot every time!!

First off the customer service is AMAZING!!! Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. This was my first time here btw. My friend came from Houston to visit and we were looking for a chill place that wouldn't be too busy/big. And the pictures and the fact that Korean fried chicken is I stumbled across this place I forget the name of the wings I got but it's the one on the picture with all the peppers (but it wasn't spicy at all or I have a high tolerance) I had to ask for their spiciest sauce to spruce it up. I give mine a 5/10; but my date got the honey garlic and they were a 10/10!!! Ohhhh and the sweet potato fries were magic!! They came out fast as hell and I was joking that they were too damn hot!! Like they literally stayed freshly HOT even after we were done with our wings lol (about 20 minutes) they give you complimentary bottled water which I find very considerate. Only bad thing I have to say is this is the only place that won't allow you to take your alcoholic beverages with you to go. Other than that this place gets a 9.5/10...ohh and the give you the pickled relish for free instead of "unsaid" spots makes you pay for it separately. Definitely coming back!!!! Wish I would've gotten our waitress's name because she was awesome!!! read more

We were craving for wings and our usually K-wing place didn't open mid day so we decided to try BB.Q Chicken since it was closest to us. We ordered take out of the medium (9 wings) Soy garlic wings and medium (9 wings) Honey garlic wings, and fried waffle fries. My sister liked the soy garlic wings and I liked the honey garlic wings. The waffle fries was nothing special and was a bit oily. The waffle fries does not air fry well the next day because it was so oily. The wings were crispy even though it doesn't look like it. The soy garlic wings in my onion lacked flavor and was one note. The honey garlic wings was on the sweeter side but also was one note. Both wings lacked the garlicky taste. The wings were juicy inside and cooked properly. The wings also didn't air fry well for next day left over meal. For that reason and the flavor profile is why I rated 3 stars. The service was great and their estimated time for when pick up was really was on point. Would I recommend this place? If you're in a pinch and want wings... this may be your place but Hi wings is still my favorite k wings. I personally wouldn't return to this place. read more

Service was terrible when server was let know that there was a problem with the food they were condescending. The food was decent but definitely not enough to return for. We definitely should have known the experience was going to be terrible when a family of 3 walked out saying the service was terrible and they did not want to dine in there. There was also a hair on my cheese sticks and I still tried to give them a fair chance but that was a big mistake. read more
