If you love Korean fried chicken, this is a great spot to try. The cheese fries are amazing and easily my favorite item on the menu. The chicken wings are also surprisingly large, so you definitely get your money's worth. I'll definitely be back for more cheese fries and chicken!

Sorry late review (2 weeks ago 1/14/26) First time trying this place--such a cute little restaurant with about 4-5 tables. There was only one other couple dining in, and it was their first time as well. The owner was very pleasant, and it seems he and his brother also do the cooking, which gave the place a nice family-run feel. I ordered the 16-piece combo ($30) with two sides, which allowed me to try four different flavors. I went with two of their more popular options--Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy--along with K-Soy and Galbi. I really enjoyed the two sides; I chose the potato salad and mandu (dumplings). I definitely want to go back to try their popcorn chicken, popcorn tofu, and the croffle dessert. They also have a cute self-serve station with water, wipes, and utensils, which was a nice touch.

The first bite I took of these chicken wings reminded me of my childhood for some reason. I couldn't pinpoint it out, but the taste of it gave me a blurry flashback of someone's cooking. But my oh my this place was SO GOOD! My family and I ordered a regular, a soy garlic, and the popcorn chicken rice bowl flavored as sweet and spicy. Sides were fries and veggie sticks and dipping was ranch. I really loved how they breaded the chicken. Their breading taste felt like home and memory. It wasn't all too hard, like you'll bite a battering clump but it wasn't burnt or hard, it was just right. I really would like to know how they make their batter for their wings because it's just so dang good! And the gentleman who took our order, not sure if he was the owner, but he was friendly and welcoming. Best Korean chicken wings I've had so far here around town.

I've been reading great yelp reviews about Basak Chicken. I decided tonite was the night to give the restaurant a try and so glad I did!! I live right down the street so it's super close by. I think when you go to a new place it's truly hard to decide what to get/order! Tommy at the front counter was super helpful! I always say "what is the favorite"? He said the sauce is the sweet & spicy and the soy garlic! I decided to get the chicken & rice bowl (popcorn chicken) with the sweet & spicy sauce which was so very good! The bowl is huge! Perfect meal for two! But you know me, I could not stop with one entree. Therefore I ordered my husband's favorite chicken wings. They were Gigantic and super duper crispy with the soy garlic sauce which came with baby carrots, and celery, along with a cup of ranch dressing nice touch did not have to pay extra for the ranch! Well, I couldn't help my self, I had to order the Beef Corn Dog! Tommy asked me "do you want it with ketchup, mustard, and sugar"? I said "Sugar"? Did I hear you correctly? OMG!!! It was our dessert, although it needs a bigger Frank in the decadent homemade batter! Delicious! You haven't had a corn dog until you try it Korean Style!!! Tommy thank you for all your great recommendations I can't believe you've been in your establishment for almost a year and I haven't been here sooner!!! See you again soon! I'll be telling all my Friends all about your chicken and sauce!!!

I just keep coming back to this place. This is hands down the best Korean fried chicken I've had!! Best chicken spot in Reno!!! The skin is fried perfectly and the fries with curry seasoning is delicious. The water they provide is also cold and refreshing, and even though it's a smaller establishment I would come again and again. The only thing I wish they also provided were gloves for chicken!!

If you are looking for chicken tenders with robust flavor and juicy, this place is it. I had leftovers and the chicken was juicy the next day. Portions were generous and the service was friendly. They no longer have the chicken sandwich but plenty of other items to choose from. Looking forward to returning to try other things on the menu.

Don't usually give 5 stars for "fast food" but this place has nice seating, super friendly service, & bellylicious food! If you like fried chicken you'll love it. Big, juicy, & crispy chicken. Flavorful sauces without the feel or taste of grease. My hubby wasnt sure about the sweet cheese fries and it ended up being a HIT along with the dumplings.

Korean chicken wings keep coming up on my recommendations so finally had the chance to try them out. Everyone was super friendly at Basak-- we were greeted by multiple staff members. The location is small -- and it's kept very clean. I let the employee know that this was my first time trying it out and he gave some recommendations. I liked the flavors --the Galbi was really good. The chicken wings are really crispy and full of flavor. We changed things up and ordered sweet cheese seasoned fries with homemade ranch--10/10. Overall it was a good change to the "traditional " wing spots-- I'd come back and try out a couple more flavors.

Open for less than a year and Basak is changing the chicken landscape in this area. At lunch on my visit, this counter service restaurant is busy. Stick with the crispy chicken and try all the flavors. Sweet n Spicy and the Soy Garlic are legit and flavorful. My favorite sides that I recommend is the Mandu and Potato Salad.

Honest take out review: Eat it at the restaurant but take it home if you must! The winner is the rice bowl: 5/5 for the whole experience! (Tap in for the food review down below) Some heavy hitters and some recommendations for your next order of Basak! They came in strong with some great phone skills, and it was very lively! I would say if you can, sit and eat your food as it was delicious bringing it home, but I'm sure it would've been better in the restaurant. -chicken rice bowl w/sweet & spicy: 5/5 WOW!!! My fiancée ordered this bowl and it has that everything touch to it. Savory, sweet, spicy, an umami flavor from the MSG, and mayo that's complemented by the greens for a fresh bite... absolutely breath taking of a dish! Plus service size is more than shareable for you if you're not too hungry. Otherwise this is the winner! -wings 4 w/sweet cheese: 5/5 Talk about a wing that packs a punch!!! Juicy and fresh, crispy enough to withstand the moisture from the steam on the way home... and a flavor... that says it all. I wasn't expecting a flavor to send me on a rollercoaster of an adventure. Savory but sweet, with a spicy that is dry to the bite but transforms as you combine it with the chicken. It's a great dry rub that's complemented extraordinarily by a delicious wing. K-radish: 5/5 -call it the palette cleanser, fresh and just a pickled bite you can use to accompany any bite. -k-potato salad/ 4/5 Interesting flavor that's oddly refreshing, and neutral in a smooth way... this was one of the more interesting bites of the night as you get a load of potatoes and egg in the mix, but you're met with some veggies that give a bite and a fresh nature to the dish that somehow works? It was good though. -corn dog (cheese&sausage) 3.5/5 Hear me out... this has a lot of potential for a 4.5/5 for me. Next time I will just be ordering it without the sugar and add the ketchup and mustard on the side. This gave me a very funnel cake vibe as you bite into the batter. The ketchup and sugar just add different depth of flavor that while unique, didn't mesh 100% to give you that bite you're looking for. The cheese pull though was amazing! So definitely a lot of potential for a follow up! Just know if you eat it fresh. It'll probably be a lot better than taking it home. So give it a try if you're daring. Overall, definitely recommending to friends for their chicken rice bowl! Deliciousness!!

Sweet cheese wings
Jessica P.

Crunchy, juicy chicken! I ordered 2 chicken bowls ($12 each), 4-piece sweet cheese wings ($7.50), kimchi ($5.50) and 2 k- beverages ($3 each). The chicken bowls were huge! They were filled with crispy chicken, rice, greens, mayo and your choice of sauce. We did the sweet and spicy and k spicy. Both were great! The sweet cheese wings was really interesting and probably my favorite flavor! It has a thin super crunchy batter and tender juicy chicken inside. Amazing and unique flavor! The kimchi was good and the so were the drinks. A little pricey for small sides/drinks, but still yummy. The restaurant is small with minimal seating. It is super clean and has a cool vibe with Korea music in the background and posters matching the theme. The staff was also very friendly. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and they were very helpful. They seemed genuinely happy we were there. 10/10 for crispy chicken, flavor and service!

Chicken Wings (8 Pieces), K-Potato Salad (8oz), K-Radish (8oz)

One of the better Korean restaurants in town! I think Basak Chicken has quality-tasting chicken with some flavorful sauces. The place has a few tables to sit down and enjoy the food. The staff are friendly and quick with the order. I and my friend ordered the 8 piece chicken wings with the Soy Garlic and Cheese sauces. Both were very good, though I was much more impressed with the soy garlic. The meat was tender and hot. The radishes added a good sour contrast to the sweet and deep wing flavors. The potato salad was okay. Its texture was too grainy and mushy than I wanted. Otherwise, I will definitely come back. I was impressed with the food here. Total order was around $30-$35 for two people.

We hadn't been here for several years, but since we were in the area, we decided to give them…read moreanother try. One thing we noticed right away was that the bonchon was already set on the tables before guests arrived. It wasn't a large spread--just a small tin of cheese corn and a divided tray with kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake--not sure how long they were left out and did look and taste dry. The servers seemed to work well together. Different team members checked on us, cleared dishes, served food, and helped other's tables. Once it got busier, they also used robot servers to help deliver food. We started with the salad with house dressing and the popcorn chicken. Both were good, and the chicken was nice and moist. For the BBQ, we ordered the Chardol, Ju Mul Luck, Hawaiian Steak, Tri-Tip Bulgogi, and Galbi (short ribs). Having eaten at quite a few Korean BBQ restaurants in Las Vegas, we noticed the portions here were a bit smaller. They also limit each round to three appetizers and four meat selections. Overall, the service was good, and we especially appreciated Eurie for being friendly and attentive. The only thing that concerned us was when another server changed our grill. Instead of lightly drizzling oil onto the grill, she forcefully squeezed the bottle, causing the oil to shoot out onto grill. It seemed like an unnecessary safety risk for both guests and employees. Our favorites were definitely the Tri-Tip Bulgogi and the Galbi. Both were flavorful and tender. The Chardol was good, but the slices were very thin and the portion felt a little small. The restaurant filled up quickly between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., so it's clearly a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back for the Tri-Tip Bulgogi, Galbi, and the teamwork displayed by the staff.

One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that it's one of the few Korean BBQ spots that…read morewelcomes solo diners without requiring a party of two. As someone who occasionally likes to eat alone, I really appreciate that. I've visited several times over the years, including recently under the newer ownership. Unfortunately, some of my old favorites aren't quite the same. I used to love their deep-fried oysters, which are no longer on the menu and have been replaced with deep-fried mussels. The kimchi stew recipe also seems to have changed and wasn't as memorable as before. That said, they still serve my favorite gopchang (beef small intestine). When cooked properly, it gets wonderfully crispy and reminds me of Mexican tripas tacos--definitely worth ordering. I'd personally skip the bibimbap appetizer. The rice was hard, the ground beef was cold, and it felt like it relied too heavily on the gochujang sauce for flavor. Even with those changes, I'll continue supporting this business. Service was also attentive.

Lacked ice and they dont have hot mustard other korea bbq places serve this kind of dish. Thought it would be another go to place for my korean cold noodle place but failed to make it. The dish also has slices of apple vs what is normally sold with shredded meat. Previous reviews still hold that the prices are really high for cheap meats. The ayce setup still gives you a lot on each dish and you risk over ordering and get the dreaded wasted food surcharge. Until they set their prices to a steal I would visit this place cautiously or it will drain your weekly dining budget quickly. Staff still is friendly like always and the place is always good to bring a big group but I wish they would make it "local" friendly on the pocket. If they perhaps gave smaller dishes each time you order beef you could order more variety but it limits you because one plate of beef is good to feed some people a full meal. That then defeats the purpose of ayce. A la carte items is also priced so high you cant get more than one dish for each person to get variety. To sum it up, they've rigged it to have each person spend at least 40 to 50 dollars to have a reasonably enjoyable experience here trying their many good items.
