Would not get this again at this location. Had this at other locations and this was the worst. Chicken was all batter and barely any chicken. And there was barely any sauce on the chicken. So it was dry and barely any flavors. Other locations put more sauce. Was super happy to hear they opened nearby and would have this dish but was highly disappointed.

Yummy kbbq chicken at a good price! The tebboki is very good, but the portion of fries is pretty small for the price.

I just couldn’t believe the taste!!! Oh mine!!! And I hope they don’t drop the standard. 1000 times recommended.

First time ordering at bb.q chicken. Ordered the Gangnam style, garlic soy, kimchee fried rice and the rose ddeok beok yi. All were delicious. The only thing I was disappointed was that the chicken dishes came with radishes and they forgot to include them. Either than that we enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back. I’ll make sure to check to make sure they include the radishes.

Food was delicious. Just sad. I ordered the lunch combo and they charged me full price but didn't give me the coleslaw.

The cheesling was pretty good, but could’ve had more of the cheese powder like the one in Boston.

Only buffet and take out, BUT it is the best chicken you will ever have, hands down. Korean BBQ !!! the garlic soy boneless wings are amazing! You will love the food.
I went to the opening day and thought their food was okay but not great. I haven’t been to any of their other locations. The sauces tasted fine but more mass produced and I’ve had much better Korean fried chicken. My biggest issue was there was way too much breading and it was extremely heavy. It felt heavier than regular American fried chicken. Some bites I had were of only batter. The chicken itself was moist and tasted good.
I would recommend bone-in wings over the whole chicken as the breast meat was dry and don't think you get significantly more meat. Spicy Galbi was my favorite out of the 3 I tried. It had a nice heat and smokey flavor. Soy Garlic was also good. Very clear soy and garlic flavor. Secret Sauce was a letdown for me. It just wasn’t that great and tasted mediocre.
Overall, I’m happy to have a Korean restaurant in the area but will only come here occasionally. The heaviest of the breading was disappointing since KFC is supposed to be very light and crispy.
There’s a small 12 person parking lot and 4 tables inside. Caters mostly to takeout orders. Things are always busier during a grand opening but expect a wait. I'd suggest ordering ahead.
UPDATE: I am changing review to a 3 unfortunately after eating my leftovers the next day of the whole chicken (in toaster oven to make them crispy). Several pieces were just the ribs, but were heavily breaded and there was no meat underneath. The breast meat was very dry and tough.
I talked to a friend who likes the Cambridge location & tried Shrewsbury and he also thought it was significantly worse quality. Hopefully management can improve this.

Very very awful experience. I was told to wait for 30mins. However, it turned out to be one hour. That’s not the end. Then they gave us the wrong order twice!!! Very bad service

Although the food is delicious and up to par, I think there's something wrong with the management that's in dire need of improvement. I would like to play it off, but oftentimes, there's something going on behind the scenes that's hard to ignore and completely interrupts the atmosphere as I try to sit in for a meal--for example, a woman oftentimes is always angrily yelling in the back. It's overbearing, intense, and loud enough to hear as a customer in the front. It's incredibly surprising the first time you hear it, and creates an unwelcoming environment as a customer. Even more jarring--on opening day, I witnessed an employee throw down their hat and quit on the spot. I love the BBQ chicken chain, but comparably to the Boston locations, this particular location has stuck out negatively so early in. There are also smaller issues that I've noticed. For example, there were bugs taped to the windows around the posters. It's hard to not notice while enjoying my meal, and I have to continuously avert my gaze to avoid looking at the window while eating. I visited on opening day and came back a few days after that, and the same bug was still there taped onto the window, and although it is a small detail, it shows a lack of attentiveness. For issues like these to arise this early, it raises drastic concerns about the management and treatment of their employees, and may suggest that they are not being treated with the support and respect they deserve. Please improve this immediately! I understand that it has not been long since opening, but these are problems that need to be fixed if this business plans to continue running. As much as I love the food, it's difficult for me to continue to support this location for the sake of the hardworking staff and employees who deserve the respect. I sincerely hope that management addresses these issues sooner rather than later.

The chicken here is next-level juicy, crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. You can tell they take their time to do it right. It came out piping hot and perfectly seasoned. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but totally worth it for that first crunchy bite. Highly recommend if you’re craving real-deal Korean fried chicken in Shrewsbury/Worcester!
