bb.q Chicken Allston

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.

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 this place! the servers are so nice and the food quality is consistently fresh & tasty, regardless if it’s in house or take out. my friends and i went without knowing it was closing time and they turned us away but gave us free rose ddeokbokki! it was delicious obvi but their kindness was the best part of the night 🙂 thank u!

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.
