bb.q Chicken Sunnyvale

Wow it's so good! We had some wings and boneless chicken. The boneless chicken was delicious. The pieces were both tender and crispy. We had the honey garlic flavor, and lemme say the honey garlic flavor is to die for!! So fragrant and tasty. It was nicely savory and a bit sweet. Such a good flavor combo. My car smelled like it for a week and I can't complain, lol it was a good smell!

The wings however, were not as good for takeout. For the spicy original flavor, it was surprisingly not very spicy (and I'm usually someone who gets "mild" spice, so you know I can't handle heat very well lol). It was okay overall- not crispy, just a bit soft. Good to try though. Maybe better in person. The spice felt like Jollibee's spicy, but turned down a notch.

They seem to cook to order, so it took about 30 minutes of waiting to get the food. Worth it. I like that the sauces aren't super heavy, it's a good balance of flavor (not too salty). Easy to eat the chicken without rice, good as a stand alone dish! Also, the take out box is pretty cool- it's specially designed for bb.q chicken! Holds chicken well in transport.

One of my favorite KFC spots!! From the outside, it looks really dark and tinted. Inside, they have a couple TVs with sports or K-pop music videos. Very casual dining with soju in the fridge as well.

We have dined in and ordered to go. Even when we order take out, the wings are still super crispy. For two people, we usually order the 16 piece honey garlic wings and that's enough for us. We have tried other flavors but we always come back to honey garlic.. Definitely get the cheesling fries!! If you order at the restaurant, you can ask for the spicy sauce on the side because it is pretty hot. If you order online though, you can't request any changes which is the only downside.

Came in for Mother's Day after watching Crash Landing on You and seeing this franchise on Netflix. I was very disappointed. We ordered the half and half and barely got any chicken. Should total a whole chicken. There were NO full drumsticks, thighs, or breasts. Only cut up pieces and cut up wings to total 16 pieces. A total scam!!!
I should have known something was wrong with this place by the fact that the place was totally empty on a Mother's Day!?? Will NOT be coming here any more.
The rice noodles and onion rings were the highlight of the meal. Extra star for these

Had dinner here with my husband on Thursday. This was my second time eating here. We opted for dine in. The place was empty. Most orders coming in were for take out. I placed my order at the front and had a seat at one of the booths. The tables were very clean, which i appreciated. I ordered the small boneless honey garlic chicken, a small boneless Caribbean spice chicken, onion rings, dumplings and kimchi fried rice.

Our food arrived within 18 minutes piping hot. The kimchi fried rice was my favorite item. Very flavorful. My husband liked his Caribbean spiced chicken. The dumplings and onion rings were both very good. My honey garlic chicken was terrible. It was hard and dry. Impossible to eat and didn't have much sauce on the outside. I took it to the front and explained the situation and they offered to remake it. The remade chicken came out in 10 minutes, but the chicken was just as bad. I'm not sure if the chicken was old/freezer burned or the person cooking it cooked it too long. It was hard and dry and barely had any sauce on it. We took our leftovers home and I just threw away the chicken. I have ordered this same chicken in the past, from here, but didn't have this problem.

For the price we paid for the chicken, I expected crispy Korean fried chicken, moist and juicy in the middle and completely coated with the sauce I chose. That's not what I was served. The sad part was that the second attempt was just as horrible.

I'm not sure if I will be coming back to this location again.

I would rank their fried chicken higher than Vons and Bonchon but slightly less than 99 Chicken. Original is awesome and spicy hits really well. Never overcooked and the crisp is spot on. Service is by the owner and good. This is not fine dining but chicken wings so don't expect white cloth. The dining area is intimate and private and a good place to lunch and chat...Now it it is not 99 Chicken but it edges all the rest in flavor. Only hit, it seems to be pricier than everyone else but the price is worth it.

We got the golden original and spicy wings, French fries, and sweet potato fries. The order was ready fairly quickly. Best Korean fried chicken! The batter is perfect. Every bite is crunchy. Can't wait for next time!

bb.q chicken is a Korean chicken chain restaurant specifically in the bay area.

We stumbled upon it by accident, and it definitely was a different experience than most.

First and foremost, I was really torn between three and four stars for this review, and erred on the side of generosity by giving it four stars.

Whether you're dining in or getting take away, all food is ordered at the counter located when you walk right in the door.

What I love about chicken that is prepared Korean style, is that when given a choice between wings versus boneless, always go with the boneless. Why? Because whole pieces of chicken thighs, etc. are deboned and what you're getting is a generous piece of chicken. I'm generally not a fan of boneless chicken, but Korean is absolutely the exception.

We ordered two flavors of boneless, one was the secret sauce, flavor, and the other one was the honey garlic.
The honey garlic was visually unappealing, and the taste wasn't much better. It was fairly bland, and I definitely would not order it again.
The secret sauce version is a completely different story it's tangy, sweet, savory, and oh, so tasty! We had asked about the different heat flavors, and the man behind the counter, really could not give us a heat scale, so we decided to try these.

The fries... We ordered the cheese fries which traditionally are french fries that are covered with this honey cheese powder that really kicks the french fries into a level of Yum. Our original order was served with some kind of burn your mouth into another galaxy sauce that we hadn't ordered. The initial taste was good, but my taste buds two seconds in did not like it. The restaurant generously replaced the fry order with a regular cheese fry neither one of us were certain why our fries were served with any sauce on it since we didn't order it that way, but if the sauce flavor on the fries was indicative of other heat levels for the chicken, I'm personally glad we ordered what we ordered.

I ordered a strawberry lemonade, and it tasted like flavored water. I tried drinking it to wash down the heat from the fries, and it's definitely something I would not order again.

The seating in the restaurant is a few booths, and the expectation is that you clean up after yourself. Not a big deal, but it made me wonder how frequently after the table has been used if someone's wiping them down.

A pricey experience, but based on portion and taste, I'm glad that we gave it a chance.

The chicken here is delicious. Good flavours, comes out hot, and decent size. The fries are also really good - crispy but a little thick.

Everything else:
There is plenty of parking which is nice. After you go in, the layout in the front is kind of awkward. If there's a line, it essentially blocks the entrance. Further, while waiting in line, there's no larger menu to look at and decide. This ultimately slows down the whole process. There is a decent amount of seating and it doesn't get overly busy. After you pay, you get a number and they'll bring the food to your table. The tables have napkin dispensers and a lined metal bucket for bones. You need to ask the person for water.

At the end, we weren't sure if we bussed our own table, but on our way out we saw that they had some instructions by the trash can by the door, so we went back and bussed our table.

I typically always avoid ordering boneless wings, but the cheesling wings at bb.q Chicken is boneless only and it does not disappoint. Unlike the boneless chicken at other restaurants, it was surprisingly moist and the Cheesling flavor is almost addicting. I also ordered the rose ddeok-bokki with cheese every time and the flavorful is delicious, creamy and has a slight kick that isn't overwhelming. The K-drama Crash Landing on You is the reason why I wanted to try bb.q Chicken and it did not disappoint!
