What is Worth Choosing

When faced with the extensive menu at bb.q Chicken, deciding what to order can be the hardest part of the visit. The overall consensus among visitors suggests that the wings are a must-try, often described as more tender and flavorful than the boneless option due to the cut. Based on popular customer feedback and the sheer variety of flavor profiles, here are a few standouts worth choosing:

For the Sweet and Savory Enthusiast:

The

Honey Garlic Wings

are consistently a fan-favorite, praised for their light, sweet, and soy-based sauce that is heavy on flavor but light on heat, providing a balanced and addictive experience. Similarly, the

Soy Garlic Wings

offer a savory sauce with a mild garlic tang that is considered a middle-of-the-road, safe, and immensely satisfying choice that is popular among customers.

For the Bold and Spicy Seeker:

If you are looking to turn up the heat, the

Hot Spicy Wings

or the

Spicy Original Wings

come highly recommended. The Spicy Original is a powdered flavoring that delivers a noticeable "back-of-the-throat burn," while the Hot Spicy option is coated in a powerful red chili sauce for those who crave serious heat. For the truly adventurous, the

Wings of Fire

is touted as Korea’s hottest wing and is an ultimate dare.

For a Unique Korean Classic:

A flavor that consistently garners praise is the

Galbi Wings

. This flavor is a Korean classic: sweet, savory, and smoky, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, offering a unique profile that attempts to imitate the classic Korean marinated beef ribs (Galbi) in a chicken format. A customer review highlighted the Galbi as an "amazing" flavor that is a "must try."

Beyond the Chicken:

While the chicken is the star, don't overlook the side menu. The

Cheesling Fries

, dusted in a rich medley of sweet cheeses, are a unique and delicious accompaniment. And to cut through the richness and spice, every order typically comes with a side of

Pickled Radish

, which offers a great tangy and refreshing break between bites of the savory chicken.

In summary, bb.q Chicken at American Dream Mall is more than just a Korean restaurant; it is a flavor laboratory where authentic culinary techniques meet modern taste. Its accessibility within the mall and its wide range of offerings make it an ideal choice for New Jersey residents seeking a high-quality, memorable Korean Fried Chicken fix. From the safe and satisfying Honey Garlic to the smoky Galbi and the fiery Wings of Fire, a delicious discovery awaits every diner.

Get ready for a rambling run-on sentence - Inside the American Dream mall, on the first floor, next to the Hmart, there's an Asian food court with a counter that serves up serviceable Korean fried chicken.While there are a few non-chicken items on the menu, they're all minor sidekicks to the obvious star. The first order of business is to determine whether you want boneless or wings, then to choose the flavor. Some of these will be saucy, while others are more of a powdered variety. When you're finished ordering, they'll hand you a pager so that you'll know when your order is ready even if you're waiting at a table at the very outskirts of the food court as were we.Wanting to try as much of a variety as possible, our family ordered a boneless soy garlic and original spicy wings. On the plus side, the chicken is pretty good. Our soy garlic boneless chicken had healthy breading that stayed crispy even with a healthy dousing of that sweet and savory sauce.As good as the boneless chicken was, the wings were more tender and flavorful (as is the case with most Korean fried chicken places). The 'original spicy' is a powdered flavoring, and while it's not the three-flame fire that was insinuated on the menu, there's a nice little back-of-the-throat burn with these.I enjoyed these just fine, but I felt pretty greasy and heavy at the end of it all. I was also shocked at the cost. Two orders of sixteen pieces amounted to nearly $77, a total that would get arguably get you way more food a big-name fried chicken brand. I'm told this is typical of Korean fried chicken joints, but the value just wasn't there for me.

Very busy H mart food court area inside American Dream Mall. We tried Galbi flavor chicken, and it was amazing. Must try! I will try other flavors next time~

It was definitely very crispy but looks like this location changed the recipe from its original bb.q chicken franchise. I ordered the soy garlic and it was so bland and barely any flavor inside and out! Dont do this to the brand if youre not up to keeping it the same as the one in ktown. Definitely wont be ordering from this location again. Giving yourself a bad rep for skimping on your customers. Look at my picture, does it look flavorful to you?

Rose Rice cake (tteokbokki) is the best. My kid's favorite spot whenever we visit the mall~

This bb.q chicken is located inside the H Mart Food Hall. It’s a small take out store, but very nice appearance. All the flavors are posted in wall poster. They offer all the various flavors that are available in other stores. Sadly the price is higher compared to local stores I have been.Quality wise they keep the authentic fried chicken taste. We ordered the secret sauce wings. It took them about 10 minutes to have the order ready. The chicken was juicy. Fried layer was good. I liked sweet flavored secret sauce.
