    They are everything they think they are!! Quick service, fresh food, efficient, easygoing conversation, and delicious meals. Ambiance is K-pop videos playing in the corner. This place is not a huge dining area, so I expect it to be busier in their rush hours. They even have iced lemon water for the customers. The atmosphere provided allowed open conversation between all of us random customers, but I loved that about this place. It's not necessarily the cheapest Korean chicken place you will find, but you are paying for quality which makes a significant difference. My sister has tried the cheeseling chicken at bb.q chicken and prefers the Bbruinkle cheese here. It was delicious and a flavor I wasn't expecting. It went well with the lemon yogurt dip that you can get for an additional price. We will definitely be back when we come back to this area in a couple months..

    This very popular chicken chain has now made its way from Korea to Carlsbad California. BHC Chicken is a fried chicken chain from South Korea that serves chicken dusted in a sweet-cheesy-garlicky bburinkle seasoning. I first encountered them at Rancho Bernardo and was pleasantly pleased by my meal, but very disappointed their establishment was set up TO-GO only. With this Carlsbad location, customers have the option to dine-in or take out their food. Conveniently located just off of El Camino Real and across from the Carlsbad Mall , I believe this chain will be popular in the area. There's plenty of free parking in the joint parking lot, although minimal, there is seating inside, the service is very attentive, and the food is excellent! They are very well known for their BBURING seasoning, which is like a dusty, cheesy, garlic seasoning that is flavorful and adds a unique taste to anything it's added to. Although they do have menu options such as noodles, fries, cheese twists, cheese balls and crispy chips (similar to Doritos), they are best known for their crispy chicken. This is not to be confused with the typical Nashville, hot-chicken style that is trendy. Their chicken is crispy & savory first, with just the right spicing & flavor for chicken enthusiasts. My favorite is the MATCHO KING & GOLD KING style of chicken, each drizzled in a zesty sauce, that is pungently sweet, garlicky, salty and spicy. VERY ADDICTIVE!! I also love their BBURING chips and they are best enjoyed when served fresh, warm & crispy! Overall, I really like the option to have BHC chicken nearby in Carlsbad and I prefer their style over the typical "hot chicken" style that is trendy.

    Rice Bowl, but with no rice, all japchae, original chicken

    Glad a Korean fried chicken place opened up in this area. Their classic fried was delicious and perfectly crispy. Also got to try their Matcho King sauce -- I'm not a fan of sweet sauces, which is why I always get mine plain. I almost tried their bburinkle, which was described as a cheese powder, but glad I didn't because it also has sugar in it. If you don't like sweet, gotta stick with plain at Korean chicken places! It's very much a casual takeout spot, but they do have tables and service for dine in. Service was great. They were out of drumsticks, and sounded like they weren't going to get them anytime soon. Hope they'll restock at some point in the future; drumsticks are the best!

    SIGNATURE SANDWICH (fried chicken thigh pieces, lemon-yogurt sauce, mayo, pickles, red onion, leaf lettuce, and tomato) still wrapped

    I have been beyond curious about BHC CHICKEN since seeing the signage go up late spring or early summer and finally got around to giving 'em a try. ordered the SIGNATURE SANDWICH (fried chicken thigh pieces, lemon-yogurt sauce, mayo, pickles, sliced red onion, leaf lettuce, and tomato) on a soft roll. would have liked the chicken crispier. it steamed in the roll and got a bit soggy. the breading on the chicken and the roll dominated everything else (including the chicken). the sandwich was messy but still pretty good. also got a side of BBURING CHEESE BALLS. I had no idea what they were either but they had me at fried bits of cheesy deliciousness. about the size of a ping pong ball, they were definitely all that, skip the chips. since I had no clue what bburing cheese balls might be beyond what I crudely discerned from the obvious, I looked 'em up when I got home: a BBuring Cheese Ball is a small chunk of mozzarella cheese wrapped in a sweet, chewy, mochi-like glutinous rice dough, fried, and dusted with "bburinkle" seasoning, a BHC signature blend of powdered cheese, garlic, onions, and sugar. I have a brand new guilty pleasure. a very distinct flavor profile that's sweet, savory, and tangy. totally unique in my experience and very, very good. neglected to order wings in one of their multitude of flavors, and that's totally on me. the good news, is now I have a ready excuse to visit again soon.

    BHC Chicken was great! The chicken was freshly cooked, juicy and full of flavor. Have tried multiple different Korean fried chicken places and this is my personal favorite. Service was friendly. Definitely will be back as a regular!

    Their platters

    This was one of the best Korean fried chicken places I've gone to. The food was very good, and the place had lots of ambiance. There was music playing and nice decorations. They had good table service, and the whole place was good overall.

    The macho king tenders were awesome. Maybe could have been a bit crispier when brought to the table, but the flavor profile of the sauce is great. Fries are OK, potato wedges are better, cheese balls are ... different? Not my jam but that is a taste issue. First time we had fried and hot fried and it was way crispy and good as well. Small spot, clean, nice people helping you.

    This location has been open for two weeks and they are already selling out of items in their menu. BHC in Carlsbad is located across the street from the Shoppes at Carlsbad, right by Vons. I ordered the 16 pc Hot Fried Chicken Wings. I enjoyed the crispiness and juiciness of the chicken. The flavor is nice too. I didn't really think it was that spicy though, so only reason why I'm giving it a 4/5. The Kimchi Fried Rice was tasty and actually more spicy than the Hot Fried Chicken. The side of radish was delicious!! Super crunchy and pickled. The cheese bread is good if you're looking for a sweet cheese bread dessert. Staff here are friendly and they have indoor seating for dine-in. It's a cute restaurant that serves traditional Korean dishes and specializes is fried chicken wings. I like how clean the restaurant. They also have a TV for dine-in visitors. The atmosphere is welcoming I plan on coming back to check out their other flavors and drumsticks.

    I had to run some errands in the area and I let my husband pick where we are going for lunch and he decided we should come here early into our relationship We did a trip to Seoul so I've got a soft spot for Korean fried chicken. We got one of the platters to try with some tenders. I will say I'm really disappointed that you can't get like two sauces or anything when you're getting those platters like it just feels really dumb that you also can't get sauces on the chicken if you're just getting like a four piece wings it just feels really cheap and kind of dumb to be honest so that's why I'm giving four stars and not five stars because what if I wanted to order eight wings but like four of one sauce and 4 of the other, why is that such a heavy lift that this restaurant can't comprehend to doing that?! I digress We got the spam fried rice, which was really spicy. I only say it was spicy because we ordered the chicken tenders to be spicy and the rice was spicier that your chicken so if you love spicy chicken, I don't know if you'll be satiated here. It's a small dining room with some tables. It's really clean that people working. There were really kind, but it just feels like it could be much better with some slight tweaks on what you could order. Don't think we'll be back really

    I'm so happy to have a Korean fried chicken place open here in north county! The shop has a modern style and is very clean! I also like their hours open until 10pm Thurs to Sunday when most places around are closed. I really enjoyed their hot fried tenders! These tenders are unique because they are fried with Korean spices in the batter making it spicier and more flavorful. They were very crispy and juicy-not oily whatsoever! We also tried the kimchi fried rice which had a lot of golgijjang flavor and kimchi slices! Exceptional service too- The owner and her employees are very sweet! I thought they made a mistake in my order when it was my own mistake and instead of selling the remake, they gave it to me!

    Rice bowl. Comes with the rice, Japchae and chicken (your choice of flavor)
    Beverly E.

    BHC had their grand opening this past Thursday, and I was lucky enough to be in the area to find out. This is a casual place with a few chairs to seat parties of 2-4, or you can combine tables to seat more. Service. Warm, friendly and welcoming. They help answer any questions you have! Food. * Rice bowl. $12.99. You get rice, japchae and chicken. You can replace the rice and get all japchae for + $1 more, but the rice compliments the flavored chicken so you might want to keep the rice. * Chicken Tenders. There's pricing for 4, 8 or 16 pieces, but you can only get this in the classic or hot fried flavor only. I went with the classic so we could try their fried chicken without the sauce and this did not disappoint. We couldn't stop snacking on it. This is such a great option for kids, too. The chicken is juicy and made just right. Eat bite has the right crisp and is consistent, even hours later! Sauces. There are a few spicy options, and 3 non-spicy. * Classic fried. Can't go wrong here. If you want to try the chicken with no flavor, this is your classic fried chicken. * Bburinkle. This is the non-spicy, sprinkled with Korean cheese option. * Gold King. This is with Korean soy sauce and sweet honey + garlic. I had this option with my rice bowl and could not stop eating it! I highly recommend having ordering the chicken without rice. It's SOOO GOOD!! I love that north county is coming up on Asian restaurants. We already can't wait to go back!!

    Platter with sweet and spicy wings, Bburinkle fries, cheese balls, stir-spicy rose rice cakes

    This was my first time here and we decided to dine in, I didn't realize there was a dine in area. It was a bit small, but it was a good atmosphere to eat with friends and the service was phenomenal. We got the BHC platter, and chose the sweet and spicy chicken, upgraded to bburinkle fries, with stir spicy rose rice cakes, and cheese balls. It was a lot of food and is a great deal for the quantity and quality. The food was delicious and our waiter was so kind and had great recommendations, I will definitely be coming back soon.

    * Please note this is from our meal on May 26. I couldn't find the photo in my phone until now…read morewhich is why this is a delayed post. * Positive: staff is still great! Still love their restaurant decor! Negative: the Mac n cheese just keeps getting more and more runny. This time it was almost void of noodles. My son called it cheese soup. Kids love the Mac n cheese so much here we get two, but this time both were mostly just liquid like watery cheese and a few noodles. Surely someone saw this before hand. Husband and I still ate some of it, it was actually yummy with the flour tortillas, but more as a dipping sauce than Mac n cheese. We had some box Mac n cheese so we made that for the kids which defeated the purpose of ordering out, you order out to avoid cooking :P. Positive: chicken has improved. There for a while it was burnt n so dry. Once the pieces were super yellow and had fatty yellow substance all over the pieces. We laid off the pollo loco for a while. This order the chicken was yummy again, so yay! For the cost I really wish quality would be more consistent. The workers have always been consistently great. Restaurant has always been clean and very cool decor. We stopped wasting money on their salads because they took away the ingredients that made their salads yummy. So I hope to not get the yellow chicken or soup like Mac but truly we just never know what we will get because quality just has not been consistent.
