BBQ Chicken SM Megamall — Restaurant in Mandaluyong

Dined on November 29, 2024

Overall, the experince was decent, but the menu is pricey. The restaurant is like Marugame Udon, you get a platter and tell the servers what you want to put on your plate. So choose before lining up, so you can avoid inconveniencing the servers and other customers. If you're planning to eat with a group, I would advise to go there earlier than usual because there is not much space in this branch.

I ate 4 pieces (solo) of the Golden Fried Chicken with plain rice, two Cheese Sticks, and half of the Original Burger that my sister couldn't finish. The Golden Fried Chicken was nice, crunchy on the outside and juicy-soft (like it was melting) on the inside, but I didn't like how small the pieces were. The Cheese Sticks were okay, however, I didn't expect how filling the half of my sister's Original Burger was. I am able to eat a lot of food, but the Original Burger suprisingly made me full in a good way. Be careful when eating the Original Burger since the sauce drips. The restaurant offered drinks but we went for the self-serve free water that was slightly cool.

I was with my family of 5 and we ended up with a bill worth 2450, which was discounted from 2600 because of my sister's PWD. We were satisfied, but the price wouldn't encourage us to go back. I might try the chicken burger value meal that is 200 whenever I'm hungry...

FOOD Me and my partner ordered their Golden Fried Chicken and Country Style Burger. For me, both were excellent. The food was newly cooked when it was served to us. The Golden chicken was perfectly fried, crispy and the best part is that it's so juicy. For me, the taste is balanced but my partner said it was too bland for her taste. The burger is the same, juicy, served hot and the pattie was thick. I believe it would be best if they can have an option to have a sauce for their chicken coz there's none.

SERVICE It took 25 mins for the food to be served but that's ok since it's being cooked upon order. The staff were courteous and very helpful.

ATMOSPHERE The place was clean and plays KPOP music. It's not too loud like in other restaurants. The place is a little bit cramped for me.

Overall, the dining experience is fair. Will definitely come back if there's a chance...

I had my first taste of BB.Q Chicken in Orlando, Florida and I had a great time. Given that experience, I had high hopes when we visited BB.Q Chicken in SM Megamall.

Overall, I loved it. The flavors in every dish we ordered were spot on, and I can honestly say it’s the best Korean fried chicken (in terms of flavors) I’ve had in the metro. Their pickled radish is also a standout and a must-try!

However, I was a bit disappointed with the fried chicken itself. It wasn’t freshly cooked; they simply added the coating to the pre-cooked chicken which made the batter quite hard to eat.

With the prices on the menu, I’d say not all of it feels worth it.

Will I come back? Definitely. But next time, I’ll probably choose a BB.Q Chicken location that offers more of a sit-down dining experience instead of a...
