bb.q Chicken Lakewood — Restaurant in Lakewood

$5 online promo for email survey participation

bb.q Chicken is a Korean fried chicken restaurant. I'm quite familiar with the Cerritos location, so upon receiving a $5 online discount for taking an email survey, I wanted to check this place out to see how they stack up to Cerritos.

Calamari- In my mind, I thought the calamari would be breaded in tempura. Alas, it was breaded in the same fashion as fish sticks. In addition, the calamari was accompanied by two packets of ketchup. I had to ask for some hot sauce to kick things up a notch. I found the calamari lacking, and glad I didn't pay full price.

Service was good. I ordered online, so my order was ready to go upon arrival. A good amount of seating, with parking via a private lot. bb.q Chicken is located across from the Lakewood Country Club.

I can honestly say this barbecue chicken was perfection from the first bite to the last. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked all the way through without losing any of its natural flavor.
