" While I am a fan of fried chicken, my experience here was not the best. I ordered the chicken bowl, and it was really soupy. The flavor was missing a bit of punch. Plus, I had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my order. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend choosing this location unless there’s no other option. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was not great. I was so excited to try their supposedly authentic Korean fried chicken, but I was deeply disappointed. The chicken was overly fried and lacked the crunch I’ve had at similar restaurants in Koreatown. Service was also an issue; I had to wait for my order longer than I expected. They didn't even seem busy, which was surprising. I don't think I’ll be returning anytime soon. So sad! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great chicken! The taste is on point and I absolutely loved the glazes; so flavorful. Just a heads up, the prices can add up quickly if you order multiple items. I highly recommend the spicy galbi wings for anyone looking for a little kick. The atmosphere is okay but not the main attraction. Truly, it’s all about the food here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for bb.q Chicken Sawtelle, especially hearing about their awesome Korean fried chicken. However, my experience was a bit underwhelming. While the chicken tasted decent, it wasn't as crispy as I'd hoped, and it was a bit soggy. Service was slow too, even though it wasn’t a peak time. I think they might have been just having a bad day, as I've seen better reviews. I might give it another chance, but I wouldn't rush back either. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying Korean fried chicken and it was fantastic! I ordered the half-and-half chicken, and the flavors really impressed me! It was a bit greasy and I found some of the pieces to be a little fatty, but overall the mixture of sauces really added to the experience. The atmosphere was nice, but it could be improved with better ventilation; it felt quite stuffy. I will definitely be coming back to try other flavors. Great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited here just last week after hearing so much about it. I've got to say, I wasn't blown away. The chicken was nice, but I've had better at other Korean places. I feel like portions are a bit smaller considering the price. The service was okay; I've had worse. I think this is a typical fried chicken place, and I expected something more unique. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to trying this place but came away feeling pretty lukewarm. The chicken was tender but lacked the crunch I expected. The wait was also tedious; I think they should manage their kitchen better during peak hours. I might give it another shot, but it has to improve for me to recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)
