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.

The fried chicken was easily a 10/10! Perfectly seasoned, crispy skin, and juicy, tender meat. The fried catfish was also amazing. Not overly oily, perfectly cooked, and honestly one of the best things we had. The baked beans were incredible too. So much flavor and nice and saucy. The ribs were a close second. Great flavor and they literally fell off the bone. A few sides missed the mark for me personally. The cornbread was super dry and looked and tasted almost like it had been dipped in the fryer. The rice and gravy was really under-seasoned and didn't have much flavor. And unfortunately, the mac and cheese was pretty underwhelming. It was very watery and lacked any flavor. But the lemon cake?! Moist, delicious, and the serving was HUGE. Definitely save room for dessert! Despite a few misses with the sides, I'd 100% come back for the fried chicken, catfish, ribs, baked beans, and that lemon cake. Great service, a welcoming space, and some seriously good Southern food!

You can wait to be seated or order takeout from the counter. The servers and staff were extremely friendly and treated you like a good friend they have known for years. Of course we started our meal with sweet teas. The tea was perfect and transported you directly to the south with every sip. As an appetizer we had the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were lightly battered, seasoned beautifully, and fried to perfection. The sauce that was served with them complemented them perfectly. For our mains, I had the shrimp basket with red beans and rice and my husband had the catfish plate with Mac-n-cheese and collard greens. I also ordered a side piece of fried catfish and a basket of fried okra. The catfish and the shrimp were both coated in the same light batter as the tomatoes. Like the fried green tomatoes, both the catfish on the platter and the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked beautifully. The tartar sauce was rich and rich and creamy with just the right amount of tartness. The Mac-n-cheese was well seasoned and delicious, however the cheese sauce was thicker than what we prefer. The collard greens were perfection! My husband absolutely loves collard greens and is extremely picky on them yet he could not get enough of these! The red beans and rice were delicious. I would say that the balance and ratio was a bit off as the rice disappeared due to the amount of "sauce" from the dish making the bowl more of a soup. M&M seems like they can get pretty busy and can get backed up quickly both out front and in the kitchen. The servers were told at one point to wait to put in orders for a bit (it was about 20 min before they were told they could resume) and my piece of fish and my okra came out after we finished our meal (it was almost like the kitchen forgot about it-even though we asked about it 2 times). The okra was crispy and very lightly battered. We will definitely be returning, but will be making sure to give ourselves more time as this meal took us 2 hours from seating to getting the check.

I was headed to a kids sporting event at shadow Mountain Park just up the street and with just a little bit of time between picking the kids up and getting to the game I placed an advanced order in the app so I could stop by and grab it so we could eat it just before the game started. We arrived in our order was hot and ready. The friendly staff greeted us with a smile. It's hard to ignore the super fresh salad bar that they offer so I inquired about adding a salad and was handed a container to fill to my heart's content from all the varieties of fresh veggies and prepared salads that they offer. For about 40 bucks I had a really nice large pizza, a dozen wings and a super huge salad that was perfect for feeding a family at four with leftovers. This location has a great vibe, a beer and wine bar big screens to watch games a small arcade with some fun skill based games in it and a huge party room for private events too.

That doesn't change one very important fact: of all the bars I walk into every week, this will always be favorite. It's home. It's one step above dive-y. Two steps down from trendy and in a different ZIP code than hipster. This is a quintessential Nevada bar. There's lots of room to sit at the bar or tables. The bathrooms are always clean. The pool tables are free to use (good luck on a league night, though ). The staff is friendly, happy and always ready to make you feel special. Oh, yeah.. there's food, too. This is where Blitz sets itself apart. We've all had pub grub. Pizza made from recycled banana boxes. Burgers made from recycled tires. Beer made from recycled... Well, you get the idea. Blitz takes pride in their product. The beer is cold and served in clean glasses. The mixed drinks are not watered down or short-poured. Nope. These people are professionals. That is evidenced in every plate which leaves the kitchen. Yeah. Kitchen. Not a microwave and air fryer in the corner. A real, honest to Julia Child kitchen. From there they serve burgers from Blue Ribbon Meats, super fresh salads, mouth-watering pulled pork sandwiches, mountains of real nachos, and...(wait for it)... Tater Tots! Of course they have fries, too, but the extra crispy Tetris-inspired tots are one of my favorites. Definitely try them smothered in chili and cheese. I won't even try to do justice to their breakfast menu. The standard disclaimers apply here. The food is made to order and fresh so don't be surprised when the server isn't slinging it across your table 30 seconds after your order. It's absolutely worth the handful of minutes it takes to make it properly. I'd love to show you pictures of the food, but I'm usually happily chewing the last bite when I remember to take photos. I'll try to do better next time. This is what a Nevada local's bar should be. Check it out. You'll be quite happy you did.

The waitress came over quickly and took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. I ordered the Fire Alarm Burger but with grilled chicken instead and upgraded the fries to onion rings and my friend had the Mushroom & Swiss Burger. He really enjoyed his burger but I'll probably opt for a burger or fish & chips next time. The few minor annoyances I had with my chicken were that the chicken was too thin so it was dry and there was too much sauce on the sandwich which made it really slippery and messy. The onion rings were fantastic. I used a lot of napkins while eating and then had to still wash my hands after. The bathroom was very clean and the service was great. We'll probably be back.
