bb.q Chicken Austin Cedar Park — Restaurant in Austin

Food portions were small and expensive. I paid $17 for cheese sticks and tteokbokki. I could have sworn it looked like a full meal online, but I guess I ended up ordering two appetizers for the price of a full meal.

Food quality was pretty bad. I could get higher quality of tteokbokki and cheese sticks at H-Mart or Wal-Mart for like $5.00. I don’t know if these folks microwaved a tteokbokki pack from Amazon and sold it off as theirs, but it wasn’t worth the price. Also, ketchup with mozzarella sticks? Usually it’s marinara sauce, but I guess this place prefers to dip cheese sticks in ketchup.

Menu is extremely limited. Despite what the site says, this place only offers a select handful of what’s shown on their online menu.

Food aside, the person on the phone was rude and aggressive when taking my order. Not sure if he had a bad day, or encountered rude customers before I called, but his tone was hostile and unwarranted.

In short, this place is a rip off. You could get triple the size of what this place offers in LA or NY. Here, you do not get what you pay for; you get...

Since a little kid, I've always loved great fried chicken. It's really hard to find great fried chicken even though there are a lot of places that serve it. I've been to Asia on 20+ occasions and I've always loved the fried chick over there. Anything close to karaage always score very high on my list.

This was the first time I've tried "bb.q" chicken and I am not overly impressed. I got there today right as the lunch crowds were starting to show up - about 11:50AM. I ordered their "original" so I could get a good baseline.

Mouth appeal: It was well cooked, but there should have been more crunch.

Flavor: Chicken was fresh but the coating had no flavor, no spices at all. The oil seemed fresh, but I could taste the oil more than any seasoning.

Serving size: Sort of small. I paid just under $20 for chicken alone and there was enough for two small/regular servings.

Not overly impressed. The...

The chicken here is great, full stop. I've never had a bad flavor or order here. However, it is a bit pricey - especially for the sides/snacks options, though I can't help but order the so-ddeok so-ddeok. The tteokbokki size is also fairly small for the price.

What's kind of strange is that there isn't any option for water except for bottled water. Your first bottle is free and then any additional water must be bought by the bottle. I'm not a fan of unnecessary bottled water and would be happy with tap, so this business practice seems wasteful - especially when I bring my own water bottle around and just want to refill it.

Lots of takeout orders here so there weren't many servers, but the service was still quick and attentive. I've had a good experience both takeout...
