Ordered online, called to confirm order. The employee answered the phone stated it would be another 3040 minutes. I asked her if she could put it on in she did thank you. read more

We finally tried this Korean chicken spot and whew... 10/10 experience From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing. The staff was so kind and patient -- they actually let us sample the different sauces before we ordered, which I LOVED because I'm always scared to commit to a flavor and then regret it . That alone made me feel taken care of. Now let's talk about these wings... fried to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the sauces were packed with flavor -- not just spicy for no reason, but balanced and addictive. You can tell they take pride in their food. The ambience was a whole vibe too. Relaxing but still fun, with K-pop playing in the background that just made the place feel lively and welcoming without being loud or overwhelming. It's the kind of place you can go for a casual date, family night, or just to treat yourself after a long day. We will definitely be back -- and next time I'm bringing friends because this spot deserves the hype. Highly recommend! read more

Chicken is always crunchy and the chiicken or meat is juicy always, what more could you want? I've never had bad chicken here ever, always satisfied... read more

We stopped here on a whim. I was not expected much since it was late in the evening. We typically don't go inside and order when the closing time is in an hour or so, to us that's rude. Well that was wasn't the truth here. Since it was our first time the server went over everything let us try. Any sauces that we wanted. And let me tell you when the food came out. It was piping hot and fresh. And it wasn't a little portion, it was shareable beyond means. The chicken was so hot and juicy, and the breading was nice and crispy. And the sauces that we chose just complemented the chicken that much more. The whole place was nice and clean, and the server was super friendly and super helpful. But it being so late when we stopped in, 10pm'ish I was surprised at how many people were still coming in to get food. And everything was made to order super impressed. I will definitely be back again! read more

My friends and I have been coming here for awhile now. The Korean fried chicken here is so amazing and juicy. The flavors are phenomenal, and the vibe of the place is very nice and clean. I love the K-pop music they play and have the music videos on the TVs. It is one of our favorite spots. The only issue is the service is not always that amazing, we were just there and the server did not check on us much and I sat there with an empty water for a long time. But I will most likely be back again, it is a great spot to eat! read more

Went for a late lunch about 1:30. Service was really good. Server was very helpful with explaining the menu and sauces. Food was ok. Nothing special. Gangnam sauce wasn't very spicy. Naked wings were good but no salt which made them bland. Biggest issue was onion rings came out way before meal. Rice came out a few min before Hubbys chicken which came out 5 min before mine. Would have preferred all the food delivered together. read more

I've liked KFC since Bonchon was here, what, 10 years ago? bb.q chicken has a location near campus, which was good, but this one is even better. Much easier parking, slightly better service. In the spot where a good authentic Chinese place was, can't remember the name. I wanted some of everything on the menu. Wings of course, and I want to try all the flavors. Tteokbaki. Kimchi fried rice. Bulgogi. Wait, bulgogi poutine? Two of my favorite things. But I wasn't in the mood for eggs and tater tots, which were in the menu picture. Next time. For now, I got enough for lunch here and supper at home. 8 Gangnam style wings, and 8 Caribbean boneless pieces, plus their new so ddeok so ddeok, essentially tteokbaki and sausage grilled on a skewer, with a little sauce. I ate one of those skewers at the restaurant. Very good, tempted to eat the other, but saved it and saved room for lunch. The boneless pieces are big and crispy and so so tasty. White and dark meat, which I love, but if you're expecting just chicken breast be advised. Tender, moist, crunchy on the outside, just excellent. The Caribbean sauce is flavorful with just a tiny hint of heat. The gangnam is also just a tiny bit zippy, with maybe more black pepper. Both sauces were great. And the wing are meaty, juicy, and again crispy on the outside. I know they won't be as crispy at home, but that was the plan, to have more for later. I'll live. The car smelled great on the way home. I will definitely be back, for other flavors, bulgogi, and more. Price? About $40, for two filling tasty savory meals. Service was excellent. I got there when they opened and was the only customer for most of the time I was there. Server was friendly and helpful, patient as I tried to decide, there when I needed her but not intrusive. The place is clean and airy, seating is comfy. Well worth a visit. read more

Haven't had bb.q Chicken since I lived in Irvine CA. Got the 16 Spicy Chicken wings for about $29 as a takeout. Got it home and shared it with my wife and daughter. Chicken wings were good, just not enough spicy to it but enough to taste. Everyone liked the wings. Not overly fried and meat was moist inside. Crust was good. A bit more spice in the batter crust would have made it better. We give it an 8 out of ten. read more

A place where you can enjoy authentic Korean fried chicken again after a long time -- fresh, with great service as well.

I have been wanting to try this place for sometime now. Started out with the Fried dumplings. An order is 8 pieces which is great and the dipping sauce was a was hit. The wings I went with the secret sauce had a very lite heat but also a little sweet. They were so good that I didn't want t share. Lastly was the Kimchi fried rice, this was a huge amount of food definitely shareable. I have tried Kimchi rice at other place this was definitely better. You can get with or with-out the egg, but the egg was perfectly cooked and went well with the dish. You need to try this place out! read more

The chicken was amazing! Juicy and not greasy at all. Well made and delicious! The best Korean chicken I've had in Ohio so far!

I drove past one day and seen this place and thought it would've been good place to try! So Sunday my fiancé and I was hungry so he wanted some chicken and we are trying new places and new things so we came here. He has never tried Korean food before so I told him he was in for a treat. The place is really nice. First thing I thought when I walked in was it looks like a sports bar there TV monitors on every wall that was playing K-pop. There are high tables booths in regular tables and then there was a bar. The menu is displayed on the TV monitors behind the bar and we were seated as soon as we entered the establishment. Our waiter was very young, but she was super sweet and nice. There was a little bit of a language barrier. We ordered wing dings (mostly flats) they can't do all flats which is a bummer! And we wanted whole wings! We tried the kimchi with rice and chicken and french fries. We taste tested four sauces! The Caribbean was nasty. We tried honey garlic, which was delicious. We tried the fire, which was good and I can't remember the last sauce. The chicken comes toss in the different sauces that you choose, but we asked to have the sauce on the side. The fries came out first and they don't tell you it's considered an appetizer. They was fresh hot and delicious but a little over cooked! We had to ask for ketchup and salt. Then my wings came out with no sauce. Then 20 mins later him food came out and it was wrong. We asked for whole wings and she gave up 50/50 whole chicken! We said this isnt what we ordered and she whispered she can't take it back. We asked "why she said "she just can't take it back" we looked confused! She walked away and we just asked for the check and containers and left! WE WILL NOT BE BACK! When we got the check we asked why was we charged for the sauce she said because it was on the side and not on the chicken! Wow! We paid and left. read more

This is the place to go if you are craving good Korean Fried Chicken. We did a take-out and wasn't sure how the food would travel. But let me tell you, their food travels wonderfully. We had the Galbi and the Spicy Galbi and the Kimchi Fried Rice. All of the items were just absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. Can't wait to go and dine-in next time! read more

I was really sad to hear that Meshikou Chikin had closed, but after visiting bb.q Chicken, I am assured that the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) scene is safe and sound. I went with a group of people on my last visit, and we ordered several different flavors of wings - the Spicy Golden Original, the Wings of Fire, the Hot Mala, and the Spicy Galby. We also ordered the sweet potato fries, the onion rings, and the kimchi fried rice. The chicken wings were huge and tasty, and really not that spicy. Both the fries and onion rings were fresh and generous portion sizes. The star of the show for me was the Kimchi fried rice - it was very flavorful and was a nice accompaniment to the fried chicken. Even though we had a decent group size and the place had steady traffic during the lunch hour, our waitress was very helpful and even gave us small samples of their different sauces to help us decide on wing flavors. I will certainly be back in the future to check out the other flavors, plus the kimchi fried rice! read more

Came here to satisfy my Korean fried chicken craving and it definitely hit the spot. Only thing is the batter was a tad on the thicker side but still crunchy and flavorful. We got the honey garlic and spicy galbi. I liked the honey garlic more of the two. The spicy galbi was a bit on the sweeter side but still tasty. The sweet potato fries were also pretty good. Sweet potato fries can be soggy but these were crispy. Each chicken order comes with pickled radish. Service was quick and friendly. Multiple TVs playing sports but it would be nice to have Korean music playing for the full vibes. Easy parking in the lot. read more

bb.q Chicken Olentangy Square - Sweet Potato Fries, Honey Garlic Wings, Spicy Galbi Wings - Chicken Shop Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I placed a DoorDash pickup order (#5799fdfc) from bb.q Chicken. The Honey Garlic Chicken was the star of the meal -- super crispy, perfectly seasoned, and tender inside. Easily one of the better fried chicken dishes I've had in a while. Unfortunately, the chicken fried rice was the exact opposite. The green peppers completely dominated the flavor, and the chicken in the rice had almost no seasoning or salt. It ended up tasting flat and unbalanced. I'd definitely come back for the chicken, but I'll skip the fried rice next time. read more

Chicken and mala ddukbokki came precisely to their expectations, which is expected with such big name chains. I was with a couple friends who'd never been, so we went with the obligatory half/half with fried and secret sauce combo. They also like spicy food so we got the mala ddukbokki with cheese added on. They were all hits with the friends, and they're now going to check the other KFC places in town for comparisons. I'd be curious to hear the findings. Ultimately it will come down to personal preferences, just like how Kentucky FC vs. Popeyes vs. Church's etc. You get the point. Our server was a very nice girl who said that it's her second day working, which I took into account when she didn't get it 100% at the time of ordering, but she had the common sense to turn around and confirm what she heard or misheard. I appreciated that. The management, however, should do a better job of training their employees. For example, I asked if they had Korean beer and *all three employees* at the counter told me there weren't, and that they only had Kirin. I immediately spotted Cass bottles in the fridge behind the counter and told them those were Korean. I understand that this is probably a nit pick, but these small details matter in the end. I obviously didn't take any stars off because I don't believe in point deductions for these minor training issues, but thought it was worth mentioning. All in all, the taste was consistent and I had a good meal. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but BBQ Chicken on Bethel Road deserves it. The food here hits different -- crispy, juicy, and full of flavor every single time. Their Golden Original is perfectly fried, not too greasy, with that crunch you can hear before you even taste it. The Soy Garlic wings? Unreal. Sweet, salty, and addictive. I could honestly eat them every day. What surprised me most was how fresh everything tasted. You can tell they care about the quality and don't cut corners. Even the sides -- pickled radish, fries, and the cheese balls -- are top tier. The vibe inside is clean and laid-back, and the staff is friendly and quick, which makes the whole experience even better. If you're on Bethel Road and craving chicken, skip the usual spots and try this place. It's hands down the best Korean fried chicken in Columbus. You'll get hooked after the first bite. read more

Horrible! This lunch put me in a bad mood all afternoon. I ordered the chicken sandwich. I was expecting a huge, crispy breaded fried chicken sandwich, like any other decent fried chicken restaurant serves, but this sandwich was tiny! It belongs on the kid's menu. Like, this was barely half an inch thick with hardly any breading on it. It was smaller than the bun it was on- didn't even hang out past the bun. Didn't come with any sauce on it, so I tried two different ones. They tasted good but even though the waitress said I can try any of them I wanted, she didn't say that each side of sauce was an extra $2.00! I wouldn't eat here again even if it was free. I am still so offended by this terrible little sandwich. Words can't even begin to describe how disappointing this sandwich was. Save your time and money and get your chicken from anywhere else. read more

Great food, better to call in for carryout verses placing an order in person. Takes around 15-20 minutes to prepare your order but the food is great. read more

Spicy Galbi wings Had 5 bucks off an 8 pack, these were large in size (the breading pumps them up), very pretty, extremely Krispy, heat was sweet but still too mild for me. I liked them better than CM. Kwings aren't my favorite style, I still prefer mine naked and wet read more

There had been a couple Korean Fried Chicken place popping around Columbus. bb.q Chicken recently expand and open up their second location in Columbus. They are located on Bethel Rd, also next to another recently open bubble tea place, Tiger Sugar. This is my first time trying bb.q Chicken and it may raising on my list for Korean Fried Chicken. Their fried chicken offer either wings, boneless or whole chicken. From their sauce line up, there is a couple interesting option, such as Galbi and Cheesling sauce. They also offer some Classics Korean food, like Kimchi Fried Rice and Ddeok-bokki. The Galbi sauce definitely be my favorite. It has a touch of sweetness and smoky flavor. The right ratio of sauce is being coated on each wings. The breading is light, yet super crispy and crunchy. Topped with green onion and sesame seeds. I also got the Ddeok-bokki. It is a dish with rice cakes and fish cakes reduced in a sweet and spicy red chili sauce. It is always comforting to have this in a cold day and the sauce is always addicting. read more

The food here is always great and fresh. I tried their lunch combo today and you couldn't ask for more food. I'll have 2 meals out of it.

We love Korean Fried Chicken and finally got to try bb.q Chicken! We ordered food for pick up and we get to the restaurant before the food was done. But by the time we got home the chicken was cold already...... we're only 7mins away from the restaurant.... I wasn't sure that they really do double fried for us, because I don't feel like it was. The chicken tastes good (after we reheat it in the oven), I like the package as well. read more

Delicious chicken and fried rice. Luv the pickled radishes! The cheesy corn was good but not sure I'd order again.

Comfort food!! Their food always hits the spot. Mine was delivery so my fries was a bit soggy other than that I loved my spicy Galbi chicken wings. read more

I have become a Korean Fried Chicken super snob lately and tried 3 other places in the Columbus area. HANDS DOWN this is the best ever!!! Korean Fried Chicken itself is just addictive...crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, all coated with your favorite sauce. My first experience years ago, I related it to the best General Tso's chicken on a bone. Here's the tricky part. The crispness of the chicken always gives way to the sauce after about 5 minutes. Then it's just delicious fried chicken. NOT HERE! CRUNCHY TILL THE END!! So I ordered a small (8 mixed wings) with the Galbi sauce. It comes with a side of pickled radishes (yum!). I can only describe the Galbi sauce as a sticky sweet smokey Soy Sauce. I wrinkled my fingers licking them so much. I literally just finished the 8th piece of chicken (took about 10 minutes to eat and type this), and it was like I picked the drum out of a box of Corn Flakes. Stupid crunchy still! I'm not exaggerating, this is the only place to come for Korean Fried Chicken (hmmm...KFC...) If I ever do something idiotic to end up on death row, I'm ordering a large 24 piece in Galbi as my last meal and eat myself into a food coma. The pictures don't tell the story. Stop by and see what I'm raving about!! read more

Ordered wings for takeout and waited at the front on the barstools even though we were told that they would text us when the wings were ready. However, when we hadn't received a text after waiting for 30 minutes, one of the waitresses asked us if we were waiting for an order then found our order on a shelf and handed it to us. Apparently it had been ready but no one attempted to ask us if it was ours even though we were sitting right next to the cash register. We also didn't receive the text that our order was ready until an hour after we had received our chicken... which was not ideal. Flavor-wise, the wings were pretty good. Very crispy, good flavor. Out of the three kinds (soy garlic, spicy galbi, and secret sauce), I would say the secret sauce was my favorite. The soy garlic was my least favorite, but still was ok. We also got the bulgogi poutine, which was pretty good. Overall, would probably come back here again to try other flavors, though CM chicken will likely still be my go-to for fried chicken cravings. Hopefully they will work out the delayed text notifications and their service once the restaurant has been open for longer. read more

Great chicken was amazing planning on another trip up there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried this place not too long ago and the chicken was good. Not the best in Columbus but still yummy. It was a bitnon the pricey side HOWEVER the portions are worth the price, they're huge. The cheese fries were also pretty good. read more

Great Chicken wings! Great service. Easy to order online. Clean atmosphere. My go-to for wings

Great service! Very friendly and quick. The chicken was very tasty and crispy. It's a great place to watch sporting events.

Gangnam style is really good! Caribbean is also really good! The spicy galbi has a really weird taste. I personally didn't like it. Me and my friend kind of compared it to a refrigerator taste. The staff is sweet and the place is a good size. read more

Absolutely best chicken and never had a bad experience highly recommend checking them out!

The wings were fried to perfection. The rice paired nicely with the spice. The service was prompt and helpful. Personally, I would have preferred more sauce on the wings, but next time I know to request more. Overall, the wings were spicy and delicious, but not melt your face hot. read more

They didn't have all the different flavor chicken when we went so the menu was kind of limited.

The "Korean fried chicken" method and craze is taking off and this spot is up to the challenge. Numerous sauces to adorn your bird in and the establishment will let you sample as many as you like before making your final pick. I kept others in mind as my toddler isn't big on anything covered in sauce and neither is the misses so I got the GOLDEN ORIGINAL (plain bird) with honey garlic on the side. The side of sauce isn't that big and they charge $1.50 for it. The waitress told me that some not all of the sauces have to be made from scratch as ordered which maybe is a factor in the cost? I feel like if you order plain bird with sauce on the side then it should be free. I was curious about the CHEESELING FLAVOR, and didn't sample it beforehand so decided to get the CHEESELING fries instead. This was a unique tasting curiously DELICIOUS concoction. It's like a cheese powder that's sweet tasting that's dumped all over freshly fried French fries with a special red sauce and scallions. Think of that little corner of the bag of Smartfoods white cheddar popcorn powder at the bottom when you're all done and this is what it's like but sweet. I don't think I would've liked it sprinkled all over my chicken as it would've been overpowering yet good because they sprinkle a LOT on your food. Moreover there's a sort of sorcery and trickery with that CHEESELING powder. I noticed the next day when I went to reheat my CHEESELING fries this powder melts and turns into like a gooey cheese sauce and no longer remains in a powdery form! HARRY POTTER would be proud of this MAGIC! Overall it's a SOLID spot. I recommend trying different sauces and rolling your entire chicken order in that sauce as getting it on the side is slight ripoff because of the upcharge and little container. All the sides were good. Stellar customer service. Spacious with big booths and gloves to not mess up your hands while eating and TV's to boot. Last but not least no one in my group complained about any weird MSG feelings in their stomachs or what not like the OTHER COMPETITOR that's good also but in UPPER ARLINGTON if you catch my drift. This place is a MUST GO AND GIVE EM A TRY!!! We'll most definitely be back! read more

We have been here twice. The 1st time was a month ago and the wings were crispy and tasty, but they forgot our sauce we paid for, no big deal it's only $2. We came back a 2nd time and paid $30 for what you see in the picture (that's pretty steep) but that's ok, I asked for my sauce they forgot for last time and MANAGER JUDITH refused to give me $2 of sauce for no charge SINCE WE ALREADY PAID FOR IT LAST TIME. She didn't say sorry, she didn't have empathy, she said nothing, even after I explained. When we got home THE CHICKEN ISNT EVEN COOKED. It's not crispy like it was before and the center is liquidity and pink.. THESE COST $30 and have 50/50 consistency with TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE? We won't be back read more
