Picked up an order from bb.q Chicken in Temple City and really enjoyed it! I went with the Feel Crunch Wings and Soy Garlic Wings, and honestly, I liked both for different reasons. The Feel Crunch Wings were probably the biggest surprise for me. The outside had a really nice, light crunch -- crispy without feeling overly heavy or greasy. That first bite had that satisfying crunch I want from Korean fried chicken, while the chicken inside was still juicy and tender. I kept telling myself I was done, then ended up grabbing another one. The Soy Garlic Wings were just as good. The sauce had a nice balance of savory, slightly sweet, and garlicky flavors without being overwhelming. I especially liked that they didn't drown the wings in sauce, so I could still taste the chicken and enjoy the crispy coating underneath. Between the two, it was actually hard for me to decide which one I liked more. The Feel Crunch is great when I want something crispy and simple, while the Soy Garlic hits the spot when I want more flavor. I also have to give a special shout-out to the lady working at the counter. She was genuinely friendly, polite, and welcoming. This was only a pickup order, but the way she treated me made the experience stand out. Great customer service like that deserves to be recognized! Everything was ready, packed nicely, and still crispy when I got home. Really enjoyed this meal and will definitely be back. Five stars from me! read more

Not like a standout restaurant. BUT if you're craving fried chicken bowls, this place has a great deal and you will end up quite full. It was good, not unique, but GOOD! Great for takeout and if you don't want to cook. Wait time was a bit long tho.... read more

16 wings for $36 and came with 2 tiny sides of radishes. Kind of over priced. The parking lot is a nightmare since the recently opened Mama Xita in the same plaza. The honey garlic was much better than the galbi flavor. For some reason the galbi Wings were soggy which defeats the purpose of having "fried" chicken. Business contacted me to request I put review at a particular link...that was an invalid link read more

Come for a quick lunch and had a decent meal. The food itself is fast food fried chicken plus other things. The og chicken and the garlic honey were both good. It's moist and fried well so it was solid chicken wings. The kimchi fried rice was ok. Could had more kimchi flavor. The fried dumplings were not pan fried so be warned. It's like deep fried as well so it feels pretty fatty and could be so much better being pan fried. We ate in store and the service was good. She was gracious and attentive and it made the meal. Solid for a quick meal and of course for those sporting events cuz it's just convenient. Service helped the star rating here and wouldn't mind going again read more

We walked in around 8 pm and the restaurant was empty. We got there just in time to place last order for the night. We ordered the tteokboki and small wings of fire. Food was fresh. Tteokboki portion seemed smaller from to go vs dining in. read more

Standard Korean chicken (not a bad thing) This is a chain restaurant so the flavor, consistency, and price are at a decent standard. This was my first time trying this location and no complaints. I put in my online order a little late (sorry) but when I called to check if they were still accepting orders and were alright with it, they were friendly and cool with it. Thank you staff. The chicken is what you expect it to be, crunchy exterior, juicy interior, and the staple sauces. The chicken mu/ radish is the expected taste as well. Korean chicken is generally on the pricier side and I'm not sure if online orders are priced higher. It was $75.07 for two orders of chicken after tax. Our order was more than enough for 2 people, could probably feed 3-4 if everyone is light eaters, but it feels expensive, so this is more of an indulgence. Parking lot is spacious as it's in the large Rosemead plaza. I can't say much for the interior or dine in experience as I did carry out. Solely based on the availability, convenience of getting the chicken, and flavor and quality of the chicken, this is a safe choice if you're craving it read more

Quick service. No wait on a Friday a table for lunch. Radish was complimentary unlike some places that charge for it. Downside was it was just one flavor per order so instead of getting a medium, we had to get two smalls to get two flavors which of course increased the price for the same amount by a couple of bucks. I mean the excuse was cook times were different but couldn't you just put half of one flavor in one thing and the other flavor in another? I mean unless you're saying you only have one fryer which I'd seriously wonder about then. The Galbi wings tasted like wings with Galbi sauce on them. The soy garlic wings tasted like wings with soy garlic sauce on them. Neither of which were super great. Not that they were bad but they were just ok. And this added more to the frustration cause if they were just wings tossed in sauce then you definitely could do more than one flavor at a time. In any case, staff was nice enough, place was spacious and food was standard. Truth be told, I'd come if someone else wanted to come or if it was the only thing around but if not, I'd rather go to another Korean wing spot. read more

I got this again for Mothers Day the day before and had to come back again because nothing hits like their original chicken. I haven't come back in a while and I love that the flavor and everything has always been consistent. Workers are super sweet and nice here. Plus is also very clean. Only problem is the bad parking lines and how crowded the lot can be. read more

If you love fried chicken, this is a place to try with many options of sauces . If you get 'golden original' its extremely tasty and crispy. I love flavors of secret sauce and gungnam style. I like a kick of spicy . Kimchi fried rice with cheese is so good and amazing...mouth drooling good. Lunch special is 14$ . Comes with a good portion of drink , chicken, sides- fries . My definitely to go place for korean BBQ chicken, quality of meat is very good and tender . Casual fun place to meet up with friends and family. Great server and attentive. read more

The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there! Only thing is that there was a smell right when I walked in, I don't know if this was because the restroom door was open but it was odd... LOL read more

One of my favorite lunch specials! I really enjoy the boneless wing lunch combo specifically for dine in. The portions are better and the food is more fresh when you can eat it right out of the fryer. The only downside is that it does take a while for them to cook the food because they cook everything fresh and don't take orders over the phone for dine in. However the staff is always very nice and friendly. The restaurant is also very clean and has plenty of seating. read more

Good chicken plus claw machines! Service from the first guy was a little meh. The second employee was much nicer. K-pop music and the air inside a bit freezing so had to keep my coat on while eating. Thought the golden chicken flavor was a little off, had a bit of an after taste of slightly overdue fry oil perhaps? Anyway not as good as the same store at the hmart location. Also got the rose ddeok-bokki. My daughter liked it because the added cheesy made it have a lot of cheese pull. Not as chewy as I usually like it but for her it was good. read more

bb.q Chicken is always a good choice when deciding on which KFC place to eat for dinner. I went with some friends to eat and drink around the area and surprisingly this place a good hangout spot with it's spacious open seating and excellent service. We got the garlic snow and soy KFC as well as the rose tteokbeokki. Everything was great, but I wish they had a wider selection of soju or offer a somaek tower option. Overall a nice experience over here! 4/5 read more

Tasty Korean fried chicken with many other food options. This is a good spot to order ahead and pick up to eat at home with fresh white rice in my opinion. We tried the secret sauce and Gangnam style flavors for the wings and I thought the secret sauce was much better than the latter. Also be aware that each order of wings only allows one flavor so trying the different flavors will require separate orders unfortunately. It is comparable to BonChon as Korean fried chicken but it is nothing mind blowing. read more

Delicious and great quality food. Ready in 20 minutes. Whole chicken of garlic and spicy flavors are great tasting. read more

Soy garlic is the best here. Wings were fried to perfection and coated nicely. Wings were meaty and definetely worth the price tag. It is a plus that their radish comes complimentary with each order! read more

I luv this location ! I drive out of my way to get chicken here . The chicken pieces are bigger ! The staff are great too ! (Don was very cool today.) I got the 8pp Gangnam style boneless this time. It had a great flavor and was recommended by Don Many choices of flavors for your chicken Food came out hot and juicy as I expected . Easy in & out restaurant for a quick bite. * parking can be difficult , especially at high meal times because it's located a mini mall , corner of Rosemead/LasTunas. read more

Hands down one of the best Korean BBQ chicken spots I've tried! From the moment we walked in, the place smelled amazing. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and unbelievably juicy inside. Every bite had that satisfying crunch followed by bold, addictive flavor. We ordered a mix of sauces and honestly -- not a single miss. The sweet & spicy had a great kick without being overwhelming, the soy garlic was rich and savory, and the original crispy was done to perfection. The portions were generous, the sides were fresh, and everything came out hot. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Service was friendly, quick, and welcoming. The staff made the whole experience even better. If you love Korean fried chicken, this place is dangerously good. Already planning my next visit read more

We like bbq chicken. The food is so good and service is great. I would recommend this place.

We went on Friday around 11:30am and the place was empty. It appears most people must have ordered ahead and only here to pick up. The inside was clean but it does have a mild, old moldy smell. It took us almost 30 minutes to get our food, even though we are the only table. I can see why others just order to go. The food was amazing. We had the half and half / original and secret sauce. Portion was good. We also tried the rice cake and poutine and both were flavorful. It's a bit pricy with 3 items for about $70 before tips. They did offer lunch combo which is a bit cheaper, although it's not what we wanted. We did leave with a good amount of leftover though, probably enough for 2 or 3 people. So overall it was good. They also offer free radish which balanced well with the dishes. I totally see ourselves come back again although knowing the wait time, we might just pick up to go. read more

A great chain in Korea that just does not deliver in the states. I first had bb.q chicken years ago when it opened in Alhambra. It was very underwhelming so I did not try again. Fast forward and I went to Korea where bb.q chicken was literally one of the most crispy and tasty fried chickens I have ever had. That is when I decided to give the Temple City location a try and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The service to get the chicken is very long. If you order in person, they will have a sign that will let you know 15-30 min wait so I would suggest calling in for to-gos. The wait would be okay if the chicken was crispy and tasted fresh. However, you'll be hit with a very soft crisp that makes you crave something more. Unfortunately, the long wait, mediocre taste, as well as a pretty high price has turned me off to bb.q chicken in the states which is a same because it was so good in Korea. Did not eat in, but it looks like a pretty casual chicken joint to hang out. read more

My new favorite Korean fried chicken spot! The Temple City location is especially amazing. I always order the Cheesling wings and pair them with a different flavor each time. My latest pick was Honey Garlic, and it did not disappoint. The chicken is incredibly crunchy, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Definitely a go-to whenever I'm craving Korean fried chicken. Also, there's an employee who seems to be there every time I visit, and he's always incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. He takes the time to answer questions and make recommendations, and you can tell he genuinely cares about providing great service. It's become one of those little things I look forward to whenever I stop by! read more

I go to this location pretty often. The servers are kinda helpful but you usually have to get their attention. The floors are sticky half the time too. The food itself is usually good but I wish the menu told you the spice levels. Ive gotten the same exact chicken and half the time the sauce will be milder or spicier than other times. So its not consistent and theres no way to know if getting another will be better. read more

K BBQ Chicken in Temple City is always a great experience. The place is very spacious, and parking is easy since it's in a commercial area. The food is excellent, this isn't my first time here, and I keep coming back. Food was served on time and, most importantly, fresh. They clearly explain that the chicken is never frozen and fried to order, so a little waiting is expected and totally worth it. You can really taste the difference in the quality. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, delicious Korean fried chicken! read more

I ordered pickup, but when I arrived, the staff completely ignored me even though they saw me standing there. They continued packing takeout orders behind the counter and did not want to help me at all. I waited there till he's done. the staff member was rude and spoke in a very unfriendly tone, as if I owed them millions. This has happened twice recently -- once with a female staff member and once with a male staff member -- and both times the attitude was absolutely terrible. If you are the owner, or if the owner is reading this, please pay attention to how your staff treat customers. If the basic courtesy is too much to ask, then maybe this industry is not the right fit. read more

The food was delicious and came piping hot and fried to perfection!! First time trying their cheesling fries and it was so yummy, the cheese dust was flavorful, along with the crispy fries ? So addicting. The Gangnam was good it kinda reminded me of the Boston lobster's lobster noodles ..LOL it had like a pepper salt taste that paired well with the jalapeños. Our server was so nice and very accommodating, props to them bc they managed to give good service while being the only one working with an almost full house! My whole family enjoyed the meal. read more

Food was good, but the service was a letdown. No greeting, no thank you, no utensils or water--and the server's expression made it clear he didn't want to be there. Prices aren't cheap, yet the QR order defaults to a 15% tip with payment upfront, which didn't feel justified. read more

Really love bb.q chicken, the food is always solid and the service is always great! Today we got the fries, Galbi bone in wings, and soy garlic bone-less wings(forgot to take a photo ). All were really good. Soy Garlic is probably my favorite flavor there followed by the secret sauce flavor. Both boneless and bone in wings are really good and you can't go wrong with either! read more
