October 11, 2025 - I got the rose Tteokbokki and the Korean fried chicken with traditional Korean BBQ sauce, which came with diced radish. Both had a bit of a spicy kick to then. The Tteokbokki came with some cabbage. Both were good comfort dishes. Nothing too special, but solid.

A good place for from Korean fried chicken! Although the google rating can't be trusted (they are giving free cheese balls when you give and show them the review), trust me when I say the food here was actually good. We got a table right away and the place was clean. Even had some Halloween decorations up which was cute and festive! The menu was easy to understand but I'm surprised that they didn't have tteokbokki and chicken combo here, which I heard some of the other locations have. It was my first time at a bb.q chicken chain so we decided to stick with chicken and got 2 different flavours to try. They were both very flavourful and the chicken was juicy and crispy. Though because of the heavy sauce the bottom pieces were no longer crispy by the time I got to it but it was still good nonetheless. We also got to pick 2 sides. I loved the radishes! It's such a good palette cleanser when the chicken gets too heavy. The staff here wasn't super attentive but they are still polite and don't rush you to leave. Overall I really enjoyed my meal here and would love to come back and try the other flavours! A good place for from Korean fried chicken!

I was in the area looking to pick up something for dinner, came across this restaurant that I haven't tried before. I got their soy garlic chicken over rice. The portion was a bit small for the price so I didn't think it was quite worth it. Overall it tasted just okay.

One of my fave korean fried chicken places. This particular location opened up last month and replaced 88 Gamjatang. It's located right next to the fairly new Pho Anh Vu in the O Mei plaza. Parking is usually pretty good. You won't have to fight for spots like at Commerce Gate. Most kfc spots divide their orders by half and whole chickens. BB.q chicken however, serves their chicken by weightage (each basket of chicken is roughly half a chicken) so the prices appear cheaper because you're getting a rough equivalent of a half chicken per order. The other thing that makes BB.q chicken unique is that "boneless" on the menu is not the popcorn chicken style you would see at most restaurants. It's actually large chicken thigh/breast chunks that have been deboned so that's really convenient. It was my first time trying different cheese ball flavours. Between sweet potato, original and chocolate my fave cheese ball was the chocolate one by far. Sweet and salty will always be a killer combo. You'll definitely want to try chicken under the "fried & sautéed" section as you cant really find those flavours at other popular kfc spots in the GTA. One of my faves is the galbi Q flavour. I also see rosé tteokbokki on the menu at a lot of korean restos but my fave has to be the one at BB.Q chicken. The sauce makes the rice cake literally taste like pasta! (My gf prefers the BB.Q chicken on birchmount in downtown markham because she likes that they are milder w/ the spice and also use thinner rice cakes as opposed to the richmond hill location). The service is friendly and the interior decor is sleek. The unit IS small though so you might want to make reservations on a weekend during peak dinner times.

Casual Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) bar spot The bb.q in our name stands for "Best of the Best Quality", and that's exactly what you can expect from every one of our restaurants. Our Korean fried chicken is crispier, juicier, and more tender than anything you've tasted before, and our sauces provide an eclectic mix of flavor. Every dish is the result of both longstanding Korean tradition and modern research and development from our very own Chicken University. It's a tremendous amount of work, but it's all worth it when you take that first bite. (Src: their website) This is not a lie - when we came and ordered- the chicken was juicy, tender and pretty delicious. Service: OK at best, it's a bar after all and you really need to work to flag them down, wasn't that busy either but when they came they were very attentive Food: 3 kinds of chicken we ordered, all with crispy exteriors and juicy insides. Surprisingly very light too and not heavy like popeyes or kfc. Got some shrimp toasties (recommend) and some cold noodles (Decent but it is what it is) Also order a tower of beer. Ambiance: It's a bar, it was clean. Lots of parking when the plaza isn't busy, but there is a lot of restaurants here for fast meals so it can get busy. Overall experience, we had good food and good company, for a decent price. Can't ask for much more than that in today's day and age.

In love with this new Korean fried chicken location as I often frequented the takeout only location at H-mart on Yonge. The old location or Palpal Gamjatang has now been reborn as an excellent bb.q CHICKEN restaurant :D I will admit that I will miss the potato pancake from the former restaurant that was here but out with the old, and in with the new I suppose ~ Highly recommend you reserve a table in advance on Friday/Saturday nights because this place can get PACKED! -[GALBI Q BONELESS COMBO] $18.00 This combo can be served with your 3/4 lbs of boneless chicken tossed in your choice of sauce and either fries and (your choice of) dip OR salad. I went with Galbi Q as the flavor and that's basically the sauce that Korean people use to marinade beef ribs - it's sweet, black peppery, and topped with green onions! I loved it, and let my friends try some as well. They regretted their sauce choices after trying mine haha. I also chose miso mayo for my dip and it was delicious :) My friends tried their bone in Golden Fries/Secret Sauced chicken and devoured both aka the fried chicken here is TOP TIER. Make sure you also order fries on the side, and to get their garlic mayo to try - it is AWESOME 100% will be back to get their beer tower because when we went, it was out of service so they could only serve alcohol from bottles - no matter as I was 100% planning on returning anyways haha

For those who don't know fried chicken and potatoes in all shapes and sizes are my kryptonite…read more Frankies hit all the spots for me! The curly fries caught my attention since I usually have to drive 1.5 hours all the way to Arby's for curly fries. Frankies blew my mind! I ordered it two days straight just so I can try the sandwich and then the tenders on its own. For the sandwich I ordered Nashville hot which was meh... I found the Popeyes sandwich to actually be better but the tenders on its own MY MY MY YUMMMMMMM. Especially the dips they have to offer Frankies signature dip, honey dill, and ranch. I HAD THEM ALL ! The winner is definitely honey dill! For the tenders I got HOT AF and to me it was just right. Nothing killer spicy, it was more of a sweet heat with a very pleasant kick to it..... Frankies you have stole my heart and I am going to be a forever customer for as long as you're open! Btw the curly fries are better than Arby's!

Wow. Just wow. These were one of the best chicken sandwiches I have eaten in the GTA (and I have…read moreeaten plenty of chicken sandwiches). I took advantage of the BOGO deal on Uber Eats and bought 2 Chicken Sandwiches ($8.95) and 2 sides of curly fries ($3.99). The chicken sandwiches were DELICIOUS. I got the Nashville Hot option (Choose between No Sauce (Ho Hum), Nashville Hot or Hot AF) and it was the perfect amount of heat. The sandwich itself is made up of 3 chicken tenders rather than one giant piece of chicken (which I kind of liked!). The curly fries were a little soggy because we got it to go but I'm sure if I ate them fresh in the restaurant, they would be hot and fresh. The fries also had some sort of flavouring on them, I think it might be cajun, which I loved! I will definitely buy these sandwiches again or even just the tenders themselves because they were SO good. Side note about the location: Frankie's Hot Chicken is located inside the Lone Star Texas Grill (which I didn't know so I circled around the plaza about 10 times before realizing it was inside Lone Star)

Went for lunch around an hour after their open time and got seated right away. It is not a large…read morerestaurant though (can seat maybe 24 depending on group sizes). Since the weather was so warm, we wanted something refreshing and not too heavy, so ordered 물냉면 (Cold Noodles) and 산채비빔밥 (Wild Vegetable Bibimbap). Each of our dishes came with their own servings of 반찬 (banchan side dishes): 잡채 japchae noodles, 깍두기 kkakdugi diced radish kimchi, and cabbage salad. Both mains tasted exactly how we were expected them to, neither with overpowering flavours, saltiness -- balanced well. Server came around mid-meal to ask if everything was good and if we needed any refills of the banchan. There's a 5% discount if you pay with cash, but they do accept card payment as well. Parking spot was very easy to find at that time, but even if at a busier time, you can still find parking in the plaza.

Korean food that warms the soul…read more We were excited to visit Bap.Zip in Richmond Hill on a frigid cold day. They feature a simple menu of typical Korean food from hot soup to bibimbap, Korean fried chicken and charcoal grill. The shared meal options are a bit limited but each individual portion comes with a set of different banchan side dishes on a meal tray. The flavours were a tad mild in the donkatsu and the potato in pork bone soup, in contrast to the in-you-face seasoning that I'm used to in Korean food. Pork bone soup ($19.50) was piled high with a sizzling hot broth and 3 sides that surprisingly didn't include kimchi cabbage. King donkatsu ($23.50) featured fried pork cutlet in a truly huge wingspan topped with an aromatic curry sauce; a portion that was enough for two meals. Since one menu item is required per guest, we also had the Kids Special ($14.50) with katsu & bulgogi served in a fun toy car. The dining interior vibes were decent with tables spaced out along each side wall. But the corridor to the restroom and the rooms themselves were messy and dirty which detract from the vibes. Service was friendly with occasional follow-ups and the place got busy during the latter part of our weekend lunch meal. Skip it or hit it? It's good Korean fare in the area. Just note pricing is higher than I'm used to elsewhere albeit with good portions that made up for it.

When this Mary Brown's first opened, I was elated. Markham finally has one! I used to visit Mary…read moreBrown's in Mississauga after work. There is one five minutes away from my workplace. The pandemic happened. I worked from home. I haven't had Mary Brown's for a few years. Recently, was in the western end of Markham. I needed to fetch some dinner. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found a BOGO deal at Mary Brown's. Perfect! The Big Mary sandwich was BOGO. I also got a large mac and cheese, and a small waffle-cut fry poutine. My app stated that it would take fifteen minutes for my order to be ready. I was good taking my time driving northbound along Woodbine Avenue. I needed to make a left turn. I've been to this area before, with Freshii, Pizza Studio, Big Smoke Burger, and more in this plaza. I had an impatient dealer car behind me who honked while there was oncoming traffic and wanted to bypass me to make a turn. I had never seen that move before. If he wanted to get hit by oncoming traffic, be my guest, but don't do a tailspin into my car. I turned left. He gave in and followed suit. Weird. I parked away from Mary Brown's, as there was a tow truck helping out a car closer to the eatery. I realized walking over that I could have parked closer to the entrance. There were spots for pickup orders like mine. I walked in. This eatery is humungous. It was nice seeing St. John's row houses as a backdrop on the wall. I saw a cubicle area where you could pick up orders through the Mary Brown's app. There is a lot of seating and it looked clean. There was a customer ahead of me. I waited patiently before I headed up to the front. I got a nice woman. I showed her my Uber Eats order details. She nodded and grabbed my paper bag with my order. I thanked her and headed out the door. I had my food once I got home. I was excited to have dinner. My Big Mary's sandwich looked small in my hand. I do have large hands. However, this sandwich is a bit deceiving. The chicken was thick. It had a crispy exterior. It was juicy and fully cooked. I loved it. It was filling. The bun with the signature pickle slice on top was yummy. I loved this sandwich so much. I had the other one the following day. I got a large mac and cheese. It's a cold salad. I'm not sure why it has the cheese part in it. It doesn't taste cheesy at all. What's funny is that I don't mind that it isn't cheesy. I like macaroni salad and this version makes me happy. It's creamy and cold. The macaroni is cooked perfectly. I had half the mac and cheese salad during this meal. I had the rest the next day. I consumed all my waffle-cut fry poutine. The cheese curds were stretchy and the real deal. There was lots of gravy, which I love. It was salty, though. Bummer. The waffle fries were yummy. If the gravy wasn't so salty, this poutine would have been excellent. Instead, it was good and I needed a lot of beverages to quench my thirst. It was great finally visiting this eatery. I'm a fan. I need to return for more good eats. (123)

Been eying this place for awhile and finally got to try it. We got the Chickaron fries as a light…read moresnack . The fries come in different in different colours , with each representing a different flavour. My personal flavour were the yellow and orange colour chicken fries which was turmeric and tomato flavour. The spice level we picked was light and it was for perfect for me - someone who can't really handle much spice The thing I love the most about these chicken fries is it had just the right amount seasoning and crunch too it . Didn't feel really oily either. Price is a tad steep $ 10.05 for fries but since it's actually chicken , it seemed ok . I will go back to buy the actual chicken cup as that seems like a better value and I'll get to pick my fav flavour !

Wasn't feeling chicken fries for a snack as I was exploring the plaza w/ my gf. Decided to go for a…read moretried, tested and true chicken cutlet with special honey sauce. The colouring on the chicken fries is supposed to be natural from ground up ingredient powders. I'm not sure if the owner is taiwanese or mainlander but he was really friendly. Didn't have any tissues and also no washroom at inside this unit, but he went to his CAR and grabbed me some wet naps to clean my hands which was really kind of him. The cutlet itself was breaded well, crispy and the chicken was juicy. The price is kinda steep so if it would've been a lil cheaper I'd award 5 stars. I'm keen to try some chicken fries with cuttlefish or tomato powder on the batter next time. It's a relatively chill spot and I don't think it's as well known as it's competitors, Monga or Hot Star, but it holds its own imo.

Ok so it's been awhile since my last review but ever since post-covid, I've been doing monthly…read morewings here w/ a buddy of mine from design school just to catch up on life. Our go-to order is the quintuple (5 lbs of wings; 3 flavours). We usually get 2 lbs of nero's epilogue, 2 lbs of cleopatra, 1lb of pandora's box and some beers. I think All Stars might've been the first chain wing franchise in toronto (even before Wild Wings but don't quote me on that). If you get breaded wings they always come out nice and crispy. The meat is pretty good (you'll get a dry one every so often) and there's a decent amount of sauce in most baskets (sometimes the chef has an off night and doesn't put enough sauce but he's pretty consistent). The wings aren't the biggest but they're decently sized. Is it the best wings I've had in toronto? Nope. That title would belong to King of Wings in Stouffville or the now defunct Fanzone Wings & Ribs in Scarborough. Both which have the biggest, meatiest, juiciest, crispiest wings I've ever had. But All Stars is always solid. As a chain, I much prefer them over Wild Wings tbh. The service can vary greatly lol. Each month, my friend and I get a different waitress and we've gotten some bad ones to some really good ones. It does seem like staff turnover is really high (either that or they just work the randomest, jumbled shifts) but anyways, the wings are good, the value is still there so for that a very solid 4 stars.

2023 Take Out Review :D…read more I won't lie, I am often lazy, and want food delivered to my door that is comforting. I hadn't had AllStar wings in forever so I ordered from here to satisfy that craving. Please note that the prices in this post are from UberEats :') 100% going to do it again this week I think haha. THAT is how good their takeout was for me. -[ALL STARS CHICKEN TENDER COMBO] $25.45 I got the flavor of Prime Time (Chipotle, Homicide, Ranch, Black Pepper) for the first time, and I'd honestly order it again. I did think it would actually be spicy given that the word "homicide" was in its flavor profile but I honestly found it to be sour more than spicy. I also upgraded the plain fries to Cleopatra Fries (Creamy Garlic and Honey Garlic Sauce w/parmesan cheese) which I always highly recommend -[BITES COMBO] $24.70 I got my usual flavor of Caesar Does Texas (Chipotle Base, Creamy Garlic, Parmesan), and I do have to say, the bites are much more tender, and moist compared to the tenders. I will likely opt for bites over tenders for future orders. I also upgraded the fries here to Loaded Fries (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Bacon Bits, Gravy) aka poutine with bacon bits. Pretty darn good too if I do say so myself Overall, totally worth ordering again!
