This might be my new favorite Korean fried chicken spot!! We placed a pickup order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The lady I spoke with on the phone was super sweet, friendly, and patient since it was my first time ordering. I really appreciated how helpful she was! I can't say much about the ambiance since we only did pickup, but the food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. The prices were also very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more! Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving Korean fried chicken! Everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor! The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. The tteokbokki was also amazing--spicy, flavorful, and the rice cakes had the perfect chewy texture. The fries were crispy and seasoned really well too. read more

Have been here twice now, my younger son enjoys the chicken here. Food quality is good and service is pretty fast. We get the secret sauce, soy garlic, and golden crispy. We do two half chickens and its perfect for the 4 of us. Service is fast and there's a little button you can press to call the wait staff. Beer is served into a nice cold frosted glass, they have beer and soju. Chicken is brought out hot and steamy but also very crisp if its not saucy. Gloves are available if you don't feel like getting your hands messy. A bit pricey but quality is good. Ambiance is very casual. Order at the table, pay at the counter afterwards. read more

bb.q Chicken Schaumburg - Secret sauce and golden - Chicken Shop Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I ordered close to their closing time, so this may have contributed to my experience. I ordered a half chicken golden original with a side of rice. My understanding is that the original was NOT spicy. But when I went home to eat it, half was spicy, half was not. Granted, they gave me six pieces instead of four, so kudos for giving me extra chicken. Unfortunately, the golden original was rather bland. They don't brine their chicken, so if you're eating here, select one of their flavored options. On top of that, it took 20 minutes for my order to be ready. So not exactly an ideal place if you are in a time crunch. The staff was at least very friendly. I signed up for the rewards program, but couldn't figure out how to add the points from my order to the rewards app. I asked the staff for help. They couldn't figure it out either. read more

Oh my goodness guys, this place is always delicious and consistent. Their honey garlic boneless is my fav and just recently tried the chicken fried rice &I'll definitely be getting it again (had the kimchi one before it was ok). The Cheeseling fries are a must every time. The girls working there are also very sweet. read more

We drove all the way from Streamwood, only for them to say at 9:30 that they aren't serving anymore

Food: Amazing. I was surprised by how much I enjoy the cheesling flavor! Good crunch and good sized chicken pieces, too. Service: Reliable and gives you exactly what you order. There's a little bit of a wait, but I get that. Also want to give a shoutout to the solid, ventilated takeout boxes. They don't get soggy, and they keep the crunch of the chicken on the drive back home! Ambiance: I can't speak to that because my husband went to pick up our food from this location, but as for the new HMart location, it's what one would expect from a food court situation except newer and shinier. (be forewarned that seating is somewhat limited in that HMart, especially if you go on a weekend.) Price: Prices are what they are these days, and while it feels a bit pricy for wings, it's definitely comparable to BWW/any other local dive. Plus, the wings are BIG. Overall, my husband has gone to get chicken from bb.q Chicken (which stands for "best of the best quality" chicken, he was told!) twice within 2 weeks, so I think that speaks for itself. Go and enjoy! read more

One thing bbq chicken does better than all other chain Korean fried chicken places is their rosé tteokbokki. It tastes unhealthy in the best way possible. The sauce is creamy yet not too thick and the fish cakes provide a nice change in texture. Service was prompt and our food (rosé tteokbokki, secret sauce half chicken, and soy garlic half chicken) came out in a timely manner. I recommend the secret sauce; it's very flavorful and has a spicy kick to it. Their soy garlic is comparable to most other places. This is a very casual eating establishment. read more

Bring back the honey garlic!!! Unsure if there's a temporary unavailability but this is literally my favorite chicken spot. I order it at least 1-2x a week, and was so happy they finally added the option online to order sweet potato fries with the combo, but imagine my heartbreak in finding out the sole flavor that I come for is no longer being sold. So sad... it was so delicious... read more

Got seated right away--it wasn't too busy. There's a button you can press when you want to get help, which I thought was pretty cool. I got the 8-piece boneless honey garlic--omg, so good! Not spicy, just packed with flavor. The chicken was super crispy and juicy. Also tried the Caribbean spice and the Galbi. Overall, well-priced and really good food. Solid chicken! read more

I usually order carryout or delivery, so I can only speak to that experience. Unfortunately, something has been wrong with my order every time. The food is often packaged incorrectly, leaving it soggy. The one time they used the correct packaging, it was overstuffed into a small box. I imagine dining in might provide a much better experience. read more

We have ordered takeout many times from this store. We always paid at the store in the past but for some reason they do not accept the order anymore unless you provide a credit card number over the phone. This is very odd and they wouldn't explain why the change or how they will keep the credit card info securely. Not going to order at this store anymore. read more

I ordered Ddeok-Bokki with cheese, but to be honest, it tastes well without it. The sauce is slightly sweet and has a pleasant spiciness. I also included the original golden wing (bone-in). It's really crispy, but I don't enjoy the aftertaste. I'm not sure if it's from the bread crumbs or the oil. It reminds me of sesame. read more

We usually order takeout for here and never actually dined in. Mostly because it usually takes like 20 or so mins for them to cook the chicken and were usually hungry when we want it. But my husband said to call them and order first. When we got there, some of our order was already ready! And the chicken came shortly after. It was piping hot when it came out. We love the soy garlic, but we also tried the spicy galbi and it's actually not bad! I like how crispy the batter is and it's not too heavily battered either. We got the whole chicken and I think next time we'll just opt for the wings. Some of the whole chicken pieces were just all meat and it's a little dry for me haha My husband loves their kimchi fried rice and it's not that bad to me. I love their tteokbokki too! It's spicy and perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The service was super quick and the servers were super nice too! read more

Perfect chicken. Chill ambience. Super quick service and friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

I have been coming here for a few years, and this place never disappoints!! In terms of chicken wing flavors, I have tried soy garlic, honey garlic, and spicy galbi. All of them are very tasty and fresh. The fries are nice and crisp each time. I also tried the kimchi fried rice, and the flavor is balanced between spicy and savory. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with tons of seating. The wait staff are very attentive and fast. The waiters also care about the minute details that enhance the overall experience. For example, the past few times I have ordered takeout from them, they automatically put ketchup packets for the fries without even having to ask! The best part is that they give large quantities of each menu item and is reasonably priced, a rarity in an increasingly expensive world. Their great flavors, quality service, and consistency cause me to come back for more! read more

Soy garlic wings and kimchi fried rice were incredible, although it took longer than normal to get my food and they forgot an added egg to my fried rice, Christian saved the 5 star rating with his incredible personality and service. read more

We ordered bb.q for pickup. This was my first time trying bb.q and it was a great first experience. The cheesling fries were yummy. It's powdered cheese. It reminded us of the powder the put over popcorn at the movies. The spicy original was my favorite. It reminded me of hooters. Honey garlic was great as well, but I found it too sweet. I asked for a side or pickled radish. I recommend pickled radish when you're eating Korean fried chicken. It does a nice job at cleansing the palate. I will be back to try the other flavors! read more

My coworkers love this place, but with my food sensitivities I cannot do. If you are gluten or soy free don't bother going here unless you just want a bowl of white rice. They list allergens for many things on their site, but nothing is Gluten free. Probably only the white rice and pickled radish is Gluten free. I got the sweet potato fries. It seemed to be covered in flakes of batter from the chicken. I reacted later that day. I should have specified or asked about gluten free, but I honestly hate having to ask about it all the time so I try to just guess. I can handle cross contamination so I'm usually fine, but this place so much of the batter/flakes from the chicken on the sweet potato fries that I could taste it on there. Sweet potato fries are also waffle fries (vs stick like fries) which probably caused it to get more. read more

Bought for a party and EVERYONE loved them. This bb.q Chicken on 247 W. Golf Rd Schaumburg always is great. Whether you eat in or takeout!

I came here for the first time last week and tried the lunch special. It comes with wings, fries and a can of soda for around $13 I believe. The honey garlic wings were absolutely delicious. I would probably give them a 9/10 rating. The flavor was spot on and the wings were cooked to perfection. The cheesling flavor was OK. It's definitely sweet cheese, I don't think I would get those again. My fiancé did not really like them. I would give those a 6.5/10 My only complaint would be there was a lot of bugs crawling in the windows. They were like black bugs with red on the back. I don't know what they were, but there was quite a few of them where we were sitting. Also, our waiter was kind of nonexistent most of the time we were there. read more

Tried out BB.Q Chicken for the first time, with a take out order. The food was ready on time when we arrived to pick it up. The people working at the restaurant were nice as well. I think we were there on a Monday or Tuesday, there were a few groups dining in, but it wasn't packed. We ordered onion rings, original boneless wings and soy garlic wings. The onion rings were our favorite item ordered. The batter was light and didn't leave the onion rings super oily. These were really good. The chicken was average, pretty consistent with good fried chicken or Korean chicken wings. The original boneless could use more flavor, less seasoned even than something like KFC! I personally wanted more reasoning and flavor, but the chicken was cooked well. Good batter and juicy chicken. The soy garlic was good, but nothing stood out compared to some other Korean wing restaurants. I'd go back, because it was good, but it isn't somewhere I'd make my go to recommendation for Korean wings at the moment. read more

Very good place for Korean fried chicken. With so much variety of sauces and bone in or boneless wings. We got 2 different order of wings and 1/2 order of whole chicken in spicy galbi sauce and 1/2 order of soy garlic. For the bone in wings we got honey garlic and secret sauce. My favorite was the honey garlic. We also got the rose ddokboki and kimchi ramen. So good. Service was great and food was delicious. Will keep coming back! read more

Great food. Service is alright can be slower when its busy but usually only 1 or 2 people working at a time.

Great chicken and downright addictive cheesy fries. Our intended Sunday lunch destination was closed, so we figured BBQ chicken would be a good second option. I didn't realize it was *Korean* barbecue wings (complete with K-pop playing on TVs on the walls) but was fed well nonetheless. We got cheesy fries, which through a miscommunication ended up covered in secret sauce. We also got a 16 piece boneless wing meal, half plain and half covered in secret sauce. Service was quick, and getting refills or the check is as easy as pushing a doorbell-type thing on the napkin. The lesson of the fries is, I need to get myself powdered cheese. Or, in their case, 2 or 3 different kinds of cheesy fries. They're somehow not overwhelmingly cheesy, or salty, but you can't stop eating them. The sauce on top give it a savory, tangy twist too. As for the boneless wings, the original sans-flavor option is pretty good. The breading is crispy, and the wings tender and juicy. Not shatteringly-crisp as I thought they would be, but crisp enough. Cover it in secret sauce, though, and you get something that's crispy, savory, and tart. It's perfect, and I can't wait to come back and try some other sauces. read more

loveee the food def recommend trying them out 10000/10. Things i recommend from them are the spicy boneless wings if you love spicy food. Another rec is the Gangnam boneless wings and their rice cakes are very good as well as their rice and the fries. so far that's all I've tried and it's all been amazing hasn't disappointed me. Service wise the staff are friendly and attentive no bad things to say about them. Ambience wise very calm vibe I like the setup. read more

Today my husband had a taste for kimchi fried rice and I was craving Ramen and this restaurant has both of those options. There's this new robot assistant server that helps bring the food to the table and the waitress just has to maneuver it over to the table and she is able to serve you without having to carry too much. At the end the waitress pushed a button and it said thank you for your order or something similar... it's really cute, kids will love it. The kimchi fried rice with spicy but it's not very temperature hot which is good. It had a lot of taste and I would definitely order it and my husband said he would also get it again. The Ramen was different it had a Korean flavor to it. I asked for an egg and it was yummy. I will definitely get it again. When you check in and post a picture of your food on Instagram you can get a free side. We chose the cheese sticks (4 pieces) they were really good! read more

While the chicken was moist and crispy , I just felt the flavors just weren't that great.... They were tasting like one trick ponies.... Although the cheese ones were yummy and definitely different and worth getting. I also thought the prices were $$$ for wings- $13-14 for 8 wings is pretty steep, plus 1.50 for rice plus charge for more sauce so it's not a reasonable night out. read more

MY FAVORITE KOREAN CHICKEN PLACE My go to will always be the soy garlic chicken, and combined it with the kimchi fried rice and rose tteokbokki, it's like living the Korean drama dream Recently reached out to their customer service as I felt like the chicken have been getting smaller the past few times I went, but they say they would work on it. Clean place. Fast service. Friendly staff. read more

Food is amazing, chicken is so lightly battered and crunchy. Favorite sauces for wings

The best Asian fusion chicken wings I've ever eaten trust me these are a must have!!!!

If you love crispy, flavorful fried chicken, bb.q Korean Fried Chicken is an absolute must! Every visit is a treat. The chicken comes out incredibly crunchy on the outside and unbelievably juicy on the inside--exactly what Korean fried chicken should be. read more

Bad customer service over the phone and in person. Very disappointing, considering the grape food that they have.

I have been wanting to try this place for the longest time. I was not disappointed. The chicken was just the right amount of crispy and moist when you bite into it. The sauce is so flavorful, every bite screams so much flavor, eating it with rice is also wonderful. I am a "eat everything" with rice kind of person. So I was super happy they have that as a side option. The side radish was also good. I love eating it along with the chick and the rice. The ambiance is an open layout. Very clean. Plenty of napkins for your hands. :) The service was great. They answer all your questions and if you have sensitivity to spicy foods they answer your question as far as the ingredients in the food that makes up the spice. So if your sensitive to certain spices they are easy to talk to about it. Only down side is that walking in I wasn't sure if I can just sit myself or if I should wait to get seated. Though the open layout makes it a low key place, having no one there at the front on a podium near the entrance is kind of confusing. The servers are great and friendly and I'm sure having someone to greet and seat people coming in will decrease the confusion. I got the 8 wings for $14. I think it was a good price for the amount of food I got. I just didn't like that they can't split it up to make 4 with a diff sauce and another 4 with a diff sauce. It will help promote the place as people will come back to get more of the diff types of chicken if they've sampled them. I will definitely try them again. Will try to go during the week during lunch hour to try the lunch specials. read more
