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.

Absolutely terrible experience. If I could give negative stars I would. Our server (Haejen K) was terrible. We had to call her over for literally anything, to order our food, to get a refill, to get the bill. She did not come over without us asking for her once. I wish I was making this up, I literally watched her eat our onion rings as they came out from the kitchen. Unacceptable.
Mind you, if they were busy at all or about to close, I’d partially understand this level of service. But they didn’t close for another 3 hours, and there was only one other party of 2 in there.
Food was alright at best, which is a shame because I have been here multiple times before & food was amazing.
Also, they tacked on a mandatory “large party” 18% gratuity for a party of 4, (5 people there, only 4 ate though) which we felt was poor business practice. Overall very poor experience, I would not come here again. Go to the location in Quincy.

The food itself was fine, but the chicken tasted frozen. Not that it came out cold or anything, but you know when you can tell a chicken tender just came out of the freezer pre breaded vs a piece of chicken that was battered and then fried? Yea, tasted like pre breaded frozen chicken. Not great, but it tasted okay.
The takoyaki was fine, but too much batter and did not taste in house made. There is better at less expensive places.
The boba tea though was an affront to boba. Don’t order it. It was like 5 bucks for the smallest cup imaginable (pictured) and you can see how much ice there is in it. I got maybe 6oz of actual “tea” if you could even call it that. It certainly was no milk tea I’ve ever had. Tasted like water with a bit of tea. Terrible.
All in all I don’t think I’d go back but it was fine for a quick pick up.

I really love bb.q chicken and have eaten it at locations all over the US and in Korea but the chicken at this location was so bad I had to look up whether this was a legitimate branch. The Spicy Original I ordered was 1) dry, 2) insanely salty, and 3) not flaky as I would normally expect. It was so bad I asked the server if this was normal and she had the kitchen make another batch that came out the exact same way.
The servers were absolutely lovely and not culpable at all but the management and cooks need to be held accountable.
This chicken was awful and I am sad because I really love bb.q from other locations.

My wings were COOKED. I recommend going to another bb.q chicken. The chain’s food is good but not this place but maybe it was an off day.
I did place my order and it was done in less than 10 mins and other places usually cook on the spot so it would take like 20ish -30 minutes.

I’ve actually come here so many times because the chicken is just so good!! The workers are always very nice and attentive and the place is pretty spacious inside. I love that they open until 2am because I drop by here after work around midnight to get takeout and it just never disappoints. Definitely recommend anything that has the cheesling powder (yummy goodness) and the golden olive fried chicken because it has that nice spice to it, though, all the other sauces they have are delicious too! I love the radish that always comes along with the meal too.

Their fried chicken is nasty. Only reason I ordered is that it was highly rated on door dash. They had 4.5 stars. I don’t know how they got it, because with this low quality of chicken it should be zero.
They drench everything with spicy sauce, even when you order the golden original or soy garlic.
The meat itself doesn’t look properly cooked. Looked pink and grey. Texture was that of rubber. The breading was soggy. Terrible. I throwing away 75% of the plate in the trash. I forced myself to eat a quarter of it out of guilt for throwing away food.

Bbq chicken used to be my absolute favorite chicken spot in Boston. I remember how I’d buy it for special occasions over the years. I was always quick to tell people that you need to go to bbq if you want chicken made right!
But unfortunately, this is no longer the case. At all. I’ve had it a couple times at this location in 2025 and it’s been terrible each time. I only kept going back because I used to enjoy it in the past. I figured, maybe I was going on an off day or whatever.
The most recent time I had it though was the worst. I ordered Golden Original boneless wings and after getting halfway through the meal, I noticed that the texture was off. I pulled a wing apart and I was shocked to see that the inside was bright pink. I literally felt so disgusted in that moment and sought a refund.
This location needs to go back to what made them an easy place to recommend years ago. But for now, it is a skip until they can fix things.

My go-to place to get fried chicken!! It is top notch. I always order the cheesling cus it’s super crispy and the powdered cheese is so rich and flavorful. The hot spicy is my 2nd favorite but they don’t put much sauce on it anymore which really sucks. The spicy galbi tastes exactly like general tso chicken, which I really enjoy too.

I bought chicken, and today was a bad experience. The oil was old and dirty, and my chicken came covered in black grains and burnt bread.
