BBQ Chicken Vista — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

I went here with my mum and dad, and honestly staff was either rude/unwelcoming or super friendly. There’s no in-between.

We ordered the UFO and the fried rice. First off the fried rice is basically your standard chow fan. It’s good but I wouldn’t say there was anything special about it.

Now for the UFO. Was kinda confused about the dried ice. Seemed unnecessary since it did not really have a purpose aside from looks. They also took it out after 10 seconds. We kinda expected the cheese to be some sort of sauce but no it was just some shredded mozzarella and cheddar. It was served on a nonstick and we were given metal tongs. When the cheese turned rubbery we had to scrape the cheese off— so basically fondue with a side of Teflon. Regular chicken was bland and it relied on the cheese for flavor. The other flavor was barbecue but it didn’t really taste good. Overall, this was just a bougie bonchon. I kinda expected more cheese for its price. (It was 1599.)

The place was okay looking but the restroom was super filthy. Just go in the mall to use the toilet.

It was nice to try it, but don’t go here if you’re hosting an...

Food is good but the hygiene of this place left me unappetized. While waiting for our order, we saw two cockroaches 🪳. One scurried right underneath my wife's chair and she screamed and had to move. We pressed ahead, already having ordered. To our dismay, the bulgogi we ordered had a piece of hair in it. Again, we were fans of BBQ Chicken since it opened in BGC and frequented it often, but this one needs better management. Also, if you are fan of their Cheesling or Sweet Soy flavors of the chicken, it is not available. If you order their sampler, they dont have onion rings but will replace it nalang with a lot more fries instead. If you order their mojito, they dont have mint leaves. Individually, any of these things are passable and can still enjoy the experience... but all these added up, and especially the hygiene issues, and this will be the last time our family will be supporting this restaurant...

I had an exceptional dining experience here! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were attentive throughout the entire meal.

The ambiance was inviting, with sleek decor and a lively atmosphere. However, the true star of the show was the food! Each dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The food selection was top-notch, with a variety of high-quality meats and fresh vegetables to choose from.

What truly set this branch apart was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From helpful recommendations to prompt refills on drinks, their attention to detail did not go unnoticed.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to return for another...
