BBQ Chicken Festival Mall

plej MD

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a new Korean Chicken Barbecue restaurant during their soft opening, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant has a well-lit, casual dining ambience that feels both clean and spacious—perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The service was courteous, though a bit slow, which is understandable given that the restaurant was nearly full during Sunday lunchtime. Despite the slight delay, the staff remained attentive and polite throughout our visit. As for the food, the golden fried chicken was the star of the show. True to its promise, the chicken was perfectly crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside—a must-try for anyone visiting. The bibimbap was also impressive, with well-seasoned rice and delightfully crunchy vegetables. However, I felt the dish could have been more generous with the vegetable portions. The seafood sundubu jjigae was served hot and packed a punch with its spiciness. While the soup was refreshing, the pepper powder was a bit overpowering, slightly masking the other flavors. Nonetheless, it was a satisfying dish overall. In summary, this restaurant shows great promise with its inviting atmosphere, courteous service, and tasty dishes. I’m eager to see how they refine their offerings as they settle into full operation.

We recently visited this place in Festival Mall and we're excited to try it since it was our first time to dine here. Service is good and we were immediately attended by the staff though I'm not sure why they didn't greet us the way they greet other customers. I think it's because of the groceries we were carrying when we got here. My fiance is carrying a bag of jasmine rice and I was carrying a bag of grocery that we bought in Landmark. We only waited for like 10 minutes to get our food and then when we got the chance to taste it, we were like, okay which seems like we're only gaslighting ourselves that it's worth it. My take is the food is kinda bland and nothing special to it. But maybe I'll give it a chance next time maybe I'll try other flavors or pick other stuff in their menu.

Consistency is the key and we are happy to find out that this new branch is at the same level with the other BBQ Chicken branches in the metro. Their chicken meals are top notch as well as the other Korean food items such as their Gimbap and Tteokbokki. Good to drop by during weekends for a lunch date with the family since a visit to BBQ Chicken always equates to a great and fulfilling experience.

The BBQ chicken was flavorful and well-cooked, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable. Except for serving the food one at a time. There is still room for improvement in terms of service efficiency, but the food quality made the visit worthwhile.

We ordered the Bulgogi Gimbap, K Fried Rice, Soy Boneless Chicken, and a few sides of white radish kimchi and coleslaw. Servings were just right vs the price. It was definitely a nice experience. Dishes were flavorful, and staff were attentive to refill our water and were available when we had inquiries. It would've been a better experience if they had more options for vegetable dishes. Another observation was that they didn't have condiments available, and the refill of gimbap sauce is with charge. Korean restaurants ideally are generous with side dishes as this is part of their culture. Overall experience was nice. Filling and satisfied.

Burp! If you want Korean food, and you want to get satisfied, come to BBQ chicken! Their chicken is very much close to Hongdae Chicken in SoKor. Serving is generous and can satisfy 3-4 pax per dish! I consider the price right for quality and quantity.

"BBQ Chicken is a fresh addition to the dining options in Filinvest, offering a new spot for food enthusiasts to explore. One of its appealing features is its relatively late closing time; it stays open until 10 PM on weekends, which makes it a convenient choice for those looking for a bite to eat later in the evening. While the menu offers a variety of dishes, the UFO Chicken is a standout item. However, a little more cheese would enhance the flavor and overall enjoyment of this dish. It's a small adjustment that could make a big difference in the dining experience. Overall, BBQ is a welcome new option, but there is room for improvement in some areas, such as adding a bit more cheese to certain dishes to elevate the experience."

Welcoming staff and bright, spacious vibes (though there was a bit of ceiling leak). Portions are great for sharing (3–4 pax). Loved the K Fried Rice—flavorful with lots of carrot bits. The Secret Chicken had a sweet honey + mild spice kick (wish the boneless was available). Bulgogi Cream Tteokbokki stole the show—creamy, cheesy, and absolutely blissful! Must-try!
