bb.q Chicken Temple City — Restaurant in Temple City

A great new place to enjoy the famous Korean street food BBQ chicken. I have seen this kind of street food on YouTube from the food bloggers, but haven’t had a chance to try them. This newly opened BBQ chicken in the temple city shopping mall provided me an opportunity to sample some of the best Korean street foods.

We made a food destination trip to this Temple City location today to try out the food. Remembering what the food bloggers said about the street food chickens, we ordered the honey garlic chicken and the bulgogi poutine.

The honey garlic was amazing. I now know why the food bloggers liked this dish. The combination of garlic and honey made the crispy chicken tasted heavenly. With the freshly made fried chicken, my taste buds were overjoyed with the flavors.

The Bulgogi poutine were equally good. This is my first time having this type of food. The dish is basically made from combining hash browns, cheese, kimchi and some Korean sauce. The end result is another tasty treat. I loved it. Highly recommend getting this one.

So for all of you who want to try out the famous Korean street food, should head down to Temple City and get yourselves some great Korean...

1. The name of the restaurant doesn’t match what they serve. There is no BBQ chicken like the name of restaurant , but Korean-styled Fried Chicken and Korean Food. It is located next to Starbuck and across Chase bank. I feel it is the hidden corner. People pass by but never notice the restaurant is there. I found this by accident when I was looking for Meet Tea which is located in the same mall.

2. There are lots of kinds of sauce you can pick for your fried chicken/ wings/ boneless wings. I picked Gungnum Style which is like spicy garlic sauce. Love it. Not too spicy, but tangy.

3. I gave four stars to atmospheres because it is a bit messy in the two working tables. Also, because the restaurant is facing west, so when it is sunset, the sun is towards to the table eve though there are blinds.

4. I like the picture of suaces on the wall. It made me mouth watering while waiting for being seated.

5. If the Waitress could have a bit smile, it would be nice and feel cheerful as the restaurant vibe is awesome. Nice song and nice atmosphere.

6. Price is reasonable.

7. Free parking.

8. Beer/wine licensed

Will go again. It is hidden gem Korean Restaurant in...

Korean fried chicken?? YES PLEASE!!!!

What did we order? Spicy galbi wings, honey garlic wings, kimchi fried rice & bulgogi poutine.

I honestly loved the batter of the chicken, so full of flavor. Wings were not just flavorful, also crispy on the outside and succulent and tender on the inside. As for the kimchi fried rice and bulgogi poutine, the portions were both ginormous. We were worried that the food might not be enough, but we were wrong. Def shareable! Kimchi fried rice was so flavorful & I liked the idea that they added shredded cheese, kimchi, and bulgogi on the tater tots. They tasted good with the wings and beer.

Downside? I wish the chicken wings could be spicier and cheaper lol. I mean, almost $2 for a small chicken wing? Oh well. The spicy galbi wings had a nice kick but not as spicy as we were expecting. Also, the cheese on the poutine def needed to be melted.

All in all, good chicken! Korean fried chicken is such a guilty pleasure. So high in calories but so...
