    This Korean chicken place is located in a large plaza. The shop itself has half a dozen tables inside and a large patio seating area. I came in for a late lunch and ordered a lunch special (available until 3pm) - boneless wings with fries and drink. Canned and bottled choices for beverages are in a cooler next to the register. The woman at the register was very friendly and made me feel welcome. My meal was ready and delivered to my table after a few minutes, obviously made to order. I was surprised by the large amount of food. It's certainly a bargain for the price. I really liked the coating - I chose the Golden Original - as it was crunchy yet not overly thick. The chicken was meaty, tender, and moist. I liked that the chicken meat, a combination of some white and some dark, wasn't very oily. The fries had an excellent crisp coating that I really enjoyed. The abundance of fries was astonishing and I wasn't able to finish them all. Good chicken at a great price!

    This is a pretty good place for Korean fried chicken. I don't particularly love Korean fried chicken, but my friends do. I'll try to be objective about the chicken and the place itself without my own bias about the whole genre. We ordered the original whole chicken and a medium order of the soy garlic. I also ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Even though I don't love the whole genre of Korean fried chicken, this was pretty good. The original was very crispy and had a good mild flavor. The soy garlic was also quite good. Like most Korean chicken places, they don't make any distinction between white meat and dark meat and there's no way to order chicken breast -- so if you're a gringo who only likes breast meat, you're out of luck. I ordered the sandwich hoping that would be breast meat, but no go. The flavor was pretty good, but not breast meat The side of sweet potato fries was very good and a very generous portion considering it's just a side. The portions were all pretty good. This order was plenty for 4 hungry men after a round of golf The fried chicken itself would have been a solid 4, but I took 1 star off for the lack of pitchers of beer and the very limited selection of alcohol in general.

    We stopped by because my kids were still hungry after eating at the café next door. Since we weren't planning on a sit-down dinner, we ordered everything to go. It took about 15-20 minutes to prepare our order: 8 pieces of Secret Sauce boneless wings, 8 pieces of soy garlic wings, and a rose ddeokbokki with cheese. We really loved the rose ddeokbokki with cheese -- super flavorful, creamy, and the portion was generous enough for 2-3 people. The wings were tasty as usual, and we appreciate that they're made fresh to order. The only downside, in our opinion, was the price. It felt a bit on the premium side, and adding cheese to the rose ddeokbokki was an extra $2 -- ouch.

    - Always Korean fried chicken. - Always fresh. - Always high quality, tasty, crispy, savory (sweet when called for). - Always fast. - Always orderly. - Always friendly. There's plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. They've got 3 TVs that play baseball and/or football and K-drama/music. A good location to chill with friends while enjoying good eats and your favorite programming.

    Spicy Galbi Wings
    Helen L.

    Located in a plaza near Albertsons, came to bb.q chicken to dine in for dinner. Looks like this location mostly gets take out orders as my friend and I were the only ones dining in. There's about 5/6 tables that can 2-4 people each. The cashier/waitress was friendly. She seated us, took our order, delivered our food. We got the: Spicy Galbi chicken wings, 6/10 Soy Garlic chicken wings, 10/10 White rice, 10/10 Something about the spicy Galbi taste was alright for us but the soy garlic wings were fireeeeee. Love how the chicken is cooked here.

    You guys got my order wrong. That's not rose ddeok-bokki , it's regular. I requested a refund through the app, still haven't gotten any response from them.

    People waiting over hours

    Even considering how overwhelmed they were because of the WorldCup, the situation was ridiculous. People were waiting over an hour for their food, and many customers ended up canceling their orders and leaving. Management seriously needs to improve the ordering system. They're taking customers' money, yet when orders get backed up because of their own poor operations, they get irritated and take it out on customers. Staff were visibly stressed, there was chaos in the kitchen, and at one point there was even a grease fire. After waiting that long, the chicken quality was disappointing as well. The only people suffering were the employees trying to keep everything together. I might consider coming back if management makes significant improvements, but until then, I won't be returning.

    No matter how many different chicken brands I try, I always end up coming back to bb.q. It was the perfect choice for a late-night meal!

    Bulgogi sauce
    Brian K.

    Absolutely love BB.Q chicken. I ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Nice and crispy chicken, great sauces, couldn't ask for more. I got the bulgogi sauce and the sweet and spicy and they were both excellent. Service was friendly and the restaurant looked clean. My one tip is that each box of wings already comes with a side of pickled radish, so don't order an extra unless you love em like I do.

    French Fries. Yummy!

    I'm a big sucker for fried chicken and we love this location the most. We've ordered and dined in at the one at Diamond Jamboree and it's OK. When we moved, the one at Cypress Village was closer to us and it was fine also but our most favorite location is the one at Quail Hill. It's not so busy and they always get our order right. The chicken is always fresh and hot and has the perfect crunch. Also, the chicken pieces are of a good quality. We typically order the original spicy chicken and soy garlic. We always get takeout so I can't comment on the dine in experience.

    Did the Golden Original recipe change? It tastes much sweeter than usual...is there sugar added to the batter and chicken?

    Feeling like some Korean food, I remembered being curious about this place. We are often in this…read moreplaza because we're always shopping for groceries at the H Mart. We finally gave it a shot today. We ordered the steamed pork belly, cold noodles, and the galbi soup. The food was very good. My mom was quite happy with the cold noodles and my kids consumed every drop of the galbi soup. My dad and I had the steamed pork belly and we agreed that it was pretty good. The part I want to really emphasize was the service. The young man that took care of us was very attentive and most importantly, treated my kids so well. He provided them with all their usual needs like plastic silverware, extra bowls for soup, and even offered extra soup when he saw that they devoured the galbi soup. He went out of his way to give them some BTS Edition Oreos and little bags with stickers in them. I am always very grateful anytime people take care to treat my kids well. I'm glad we decided to give this spot a try.

If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast. You get your banchan pretty much the second you sit down, and the food comes out steaming hot without a long delay. If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

This isn't the place for trendy fusion dishes or flashy presentation; it's all about hearty Korean comfort food that feels especially satisfying on a cold day. My go-to Korean dishes are Yukgaejang and Bossam. The spicy beef soup is usually my benchmark for any Korean restaurant. Tang 190's version delivered everything I look for: a rich, deeply flavored broth with a satisfying level of spice and plenty of tender beef throughout. It's the kind of soup that keeps me coming back. This last visit, I finally got to try their pork and kimchi platter. The pork itself was tender and enjoyable, but I wasn't a fan of the cabbage. Instead of being lightly pickled with salt, it had been fermented to the point where it resembled white kimchi. I've actually never seen it made like this before. I definitely prefer the fresher, crisper flavor profile to pair with the pork and radish, so this preparation didn't quite work. Service was efficient, and the meal arrived quickly. On any other day, it's usually a 5 star visit, but the bossam preparation was a huge miss for me. While prices have crept up over the years, Tang 190 still does what it does best: serving comforting, no-frills Korean food that consistently hits the spot.

I have always really liked this restaurant, which is why today's experience was especially disappointing. Unfortunately, what happened today was truly awful. From the beginning, our server appeared visibly impatient. When we repeated a couple of dish names to make sure the order was correct, she began speaking to us in an unnecessarily loud and irritated tone. Her voice was loud enough that another employee noticed the situation and offered to take over the order. Instead of accepting the help professionally, our server responded that the other employee would not be able to understand what she had written in Korean. When the other employee later asked her to repeat our order, she read it back very loudly and with obvious anger. The entire restaurant could hear her, and the experience made our whole family feel embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable, especially since we had children with us. Later, she seemed to realize that her behavior had affected us. She brought us a noodle dish "on the house" and briefly said sorry. While we appreciated the gesture, it did not undo the way we were treated in front of the entire restaurant. My question is: if you knew your behavior required an apology afterward, why treat customers that way in the first place? Customers should not be made to feel like an inconvenience simply because they are dining with a larger group or placing a larger order. We came to enjoy a family meal, not to be spoken to with hostility and publicly embarrassed. Unfortunately, this experience completely overshadowed the food.
