I will forever crave this juicy crispy fried chicken! I wish I didn't scarf it down fast, so that there could be photos attached to this review. The owners and staff were so friendly, smiles all around. Such a cute little restaurant, I will definitely be adding this to the rotation. read more

Went for dinner and WOW -- everything was delicious. I've honestly never had chicken that was that crunchy while still being so juicy and tender. Like perfectly cooked. We ordered half a chicken with the soy garlic flavor, and it was seriously addicting. We also got an order of wings (can't remember the exact sauce), and they were just as crispy and flavorful. We also ordered the mussels and they were AMAZING -- easily some of the best mussels I've ever had. Super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The seafood pancake was also really good, definitely worth ordering. The egg rolls were good too (nothing crazy, but still tasty). On top of the food, the service was great. Our waitress was super friendly and explained everything so well, which made the experience even better. It's a small little place, but totally worth it. I definitely want to go back and try more because they have so much on the menu besides just chicken. Highly recommend! read more

Kevin's Korean Kitchen. I like it. I don't really care to refer to places as "holes in the wall", but you could really miss this place if you're not looking. This spot is fairly small, hidden in an old shopping center but one could consider this a gem when looking for some good Korean food. My wife and our youngest kid met up here one night for dinner. Our waitress was courteous and attentive to our needs, a great conversationalist with thoughtful recommendations from their menu. We had some of their house fried chicken which was good, fairly crispy, almost too...well done which sacrificed some of the juiciness. As always sauce on the side with one order, however the second order which was soy based, came with the sauce on it and it made no difference in terms of crispness. The outside of the chicken was a little dry again it took away entirely some from the juiciness of the chicken through the crust. Our daughter had the Beef bulgogi, I had the Jjam pong with rice, a fairly spicy seafood soup dish and Fritzie had Ramen. The beef bulgogi from what I heard was delicious, the Jjam pong with rice was pretty spicy the seafood, delicious and varied with shrimp and scallops and Fritzie enjoyed her savory, spicy ramen. Final verdict, 4/5. With a relatively busy and bustling ambiance, a physical room temperature that could get pretty warm or steamy with not the best air condition or ventilation especially when a spicy hot savory dish is served fresh from the kitchen (pretty cool to see, but the waitress had to open the door to keep from us coughing up a lung), to the flavorful bowls and crispy chicken. A place with plenty potential. I'm hoping to check them out again when things aren't so busy to hopefully get the best of their chicken and try their lunch special. read more

Kevin's Korean chicken is new place that everyone needs to try everything I tried has been amazing I love the complimentary miso soup . Especially the cold days hits right on the spot. Parking lot is huge you won't have a hard time parking . They offer a variety of different dishes. And the some dishes come with rice or pickled radish and salad. Must try it all. I can't wait to try there lunch specials. The service is amazing they lady who attended us kept checking in and also had some fun conversations about the place. Do want to make aware that the plates come out extremely hot so the will be sone steam and smoke coming off the plate at times . But its totally normal. Give them a try If you enjoy some awesome Korean food. read more

A recent weeknight "don't feel like cooking" brought me to Kevin's Korean Kitchen, and saved me sweating over making 4 separate dishes! The dining room was clean and several tables were dining in. The dining area is clean and welcoming. I was told you can phone in ahead for take-out which is great! The menu is...interesting, a little of everything. Fusion? Korean, Chinese, even some Japanese dishes? Kevin's makes it! Potstickers & unagi-don? Eggrolls? Onion rings?!?! Yep, those too. So, if you're on the fence about Korean food, you can probably still find something you like here. Moving on. We ordered 1/2 chicken with Soy Garlic, seafood pancake, kimchi fried rice & SPICY gizzards. The chicken was good, but could have been a *little bit* saucier? Ours seemed a little dry. Seafood pancake was great, as was the kimchi fried rice. The gizzards were SPICY, and I love hot food. Like 'have some Tums ready' spicy. 'You'll pay for these tomorrow' spicy. They're stir fried with onion, whole garlic cloves and about 400 jalapenos - not breaded and fried - if that matters. My husband devoured them and may or may not have had internal bleeding. Dishes came with a little cabbage salad, pickled radish & miso soup, too. Cool, but again, just a little confusing? It took some time to get my order, about 20 min. OK, because fresh food takes time, especially fried chicken on the bone & that makes the call in option make more sense but since this was my first order, I'm glad to got to come in and see the space. Owner was great, staff was friendly & I think if we had the chance, we'd consider dining in next time. Prices seem a little high but the portions were decent. read more

I want to start off by saying I hope Kevin's kitchen succeeds and it becomes a long term Reno sparks staple. This place came highly recommended, but it wasn't for me. The service was extremely kind and they checked on us frequently. I love supporting local businesses and share my experiences. Service was 10/10 and I love the casual vibe to the restaurant. I wish we had more banchan included. The chicken did come with a coleslaw and radish. My Jjiampongg came with kimchi. The kimchi did not taste right, it was extra fizzy. I grew up eating homemade kimchi so it tasted like it was a bit over fermented. The broth was flavorful and full of seafood. It was my favorite dish The bibimbap needed more protein and I think I'd love gochujang came with it or some sauce. The bibimbap was more like a salad than what we are used to. I'd love if they offered the stone pot as well. It felt like a fun fusion dish, unless we received something different. The garlic soy chicken had a great fry and crisp to it, but I wish it was coated in more sauce. The garlic soy sauce was good but def need way more of it. I know KFC is known for its crispiness with sauce. read more

Good was good, and you can tell that the owner is very involved and cares. It was nice to see him on-site and engaged in the kitchen, even serving. This is a welcome change of pace for smaller family-owned spots. They do have a few dishes that are exceptional and not found far and wide, like chicken gizzards. Ambiance was mellow, but very surface level with a few posters but not much else to make the spot feel homey. The prices were ok for a chicken or 1/2, but a few of the dishes are almost $30 ea, so it might be best to go in planning to share or do family style. The chicken wings are HUGE. I loved that the dish includes some banchan like daikon and kimchi. Fun surprise! Portions were OK size. I look forward to trying the fish katsu next time. read more

Honest take out review: High expectations for an interesting experience. 2.5/5 Was extremely excited visiting Kevin's Korean Kitchen to get some food as both times I tried before, it was sold out! So the food had to be good right!? It was very clean tasting, it was very healthy tasting, however, I'll leave notes below on the items that made this an experience of which left to be desired. -Miso soup: 5/5 Miso soup was a good portion to start you off, good flavor for a miso soup, good textures or the items; and a good recipe so definitely try the miso! -Kimchi fried rice: 2/5 Kimchi fried rice is one of my favorite Korean dishes! This rice tastes very healthy as there wasn't much sodium or MSG in the dish. You'd get hits of flavor as you'd get a piece of kimchi in the dish but flavor left to go be desired as you're trying to enjoy the dish. -Bulgogi beef: 1.5/5 I love me a bulgogi beef! This however didn't taste like a bulgogi beef. The broth in the bottom of the dish seemed to have the flavor, but without the broth. It was a very bland and almost to be said steamed consistency for the cook of the beef. There were flavors to be had with the dish but it seemed to be very bland missing salt through the ingredients and flavor. It tasted very fresh! However, lacked flavor. If you're looking for a fresh dish alternative you might like this! -Garlic Soy Half Chicken: 2.5/5 Flavoring was amazing as you ate the chicken! Good crunch, good flavor from the sauce, however there was some of the chicken that had red in the middle... after that, I stopped eating as I didn't want to get sick in case it was uncooked. There was what looked like the spine of the chicken as this was a half chicken order, so maybe this is common, but the red in the chicken was what ended the meal in what I'd call... unfortunate. There was a side salad of which looked like Cole slaw cabbage mix in with a sauce to add yourself, and the radish was definitely pickled for sure.... Overall, I was hoping for a brighter and more flavorful experience and wanted to leave this comment as a means to help the restaurant make corrections and grow. Wishing everyone and this business a bright future and hopeful for a better experience! read more

I decided to try Kevin's Korean chicken today. I had a wonderful waitress name Charlotte, who explained all the different dishes and I ended up with miso soup and dumplings and fried chicken so I should refer that to Korean fried chicken so so good you need to try it. It's in the Holman shopping center in Sparks and their dumplings are awesome. Whatever flavor so you need to go there and try it again. It's not a big place but it's comfortable and they'll explain everything you want to try so again thank you Kevin for me and chicken. read more

This place is sooo good! Truly! 10/10 recommend! The portions were huge! Had enough for left overs. Left extremely satisfied & full!

I didn't have time to take pictures because my family and I were hungry. We ordered the garlic soy sauce whole chicken 10/10!!!! And the bibimbap which was a different take from what my mom served but it was awesome as well!! 9/10. The chicken was moist and very crunchy! Will come again! Also the ambiance was cool and cozy. I didn't get her name but she took great care of us and kept my girls entertained! Thank you!! read more

Weekday dinner with a friend, we tried the soy garlic wings, salty a bit of sweet and nice garlicky flavor, and the wings were cooked well, and crispy. They have a really nice miso soup, the quality of seaweed shines through, nice depth of flavor. My friend enjoyed her bibimbap, good portions too. Our waitress was nice and helpful, and the restaurant is definitely a casual setting. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our meal. Once you are done eating you pay at the register. We met Kevin the owner, sweet- nice man and you can tell he genuinely cares and takes pride in his food. I'll have to go back and try their bulgogi. read more

10/26/2025- Stopped in to check out the newly opened restaurant- Day number 4 of the "soft opening".. Small establishment with under ten tables- Decor - a few pictures hanging on the wall- Music- not really what one would expect for a Korean restaurant - which would set the ambiance- was decent but probably add some KPOP-.. I struggled with a day to gather my thoughts on the review- Staff was very friendly and we actually were able to give feed back to Kevin -so don't be afraid to do so, 5 stars for the original chicken wings- not greasy and perfectly seasoned- ordered 5. Korean spicy ramen- was good and not too spicy- although I was surprised to see an egg in there (which I do not care for). Three sides provided- cabbage salad- just okay- kimchee- was ok- and the diced daikon- decent. Miso soup- not sure why they serve it in a Korean restaurant- but it was decent and could be served hot. Bulgogi bowl- was tender pieces of meat but could of used more meat and there needed to be some kind of sauce/liquid... I think over time and feedback they will definitely add more items as they see what the customers expect. Check them out and give them the support.... read more

Tucked into a small corner of Sparks with only a few tables, this spot gives off that understated, local neighborhood feel that usually hints at something worth discovering. We tried a range of dishes including the spicy Korean fried chicken, seafood pancake, kimchi fried rice, and seafood fried rice. The fried chicken arrived looking spot on. Crispy, well coated, and visually appetizing. Flavor wise, it didn't quite land. The sauce leaned more sweet than spicy, with little heat and not much depth, which made it fall a bit flat given how it's described. The fried rice dishes both had noticeable texture issues. The seafood fried rice was quite wet, almost risotto like, lacking that dry, separated grain you expect from a proper fried rice. It also leaned salty, and the use of imitation crab didn't elevate the dish. The kimchi fried rice had a better flavor profile thanks to the kimchi, bringing some spice, but shared that same overly soft consistency that made it feel heavier than it should. The seafood pancake included squid, imitation crab, and green onions, but missed the mark on texture. Instead of a crisp exterior, it was soft throughout, closer to an omelet than a traditional pancake. The soy dipping sauce added some needed seasoning, though it wasn't enough to fully bring it together. The coleslaw tasted like it came from a pre packaged mix rather than being freshly made, although the creamy spicy dressing had a noticeable kick. Given the price point, there's an expectation of fresher ingredients and more attention to detail. The reliance on imitation crab and the overall execution make it harder to justify the cost. Overall, it's a cozy spot with potential, but based on this visit, it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to. read more

New Korean spot for Sparks/Reno! From snacks to entrees, Kevin sells a little bit of everything! We got the 5 piece spicy chicken wings (at a very reasonable price btw), spicy pork bulgolgi, and a seafood pancake. The wings are SO crispy and crunchy in the best way possible. Also nicely sauced. The bulgogi wasn't too spicy and it's served with rice and kimchi. Seafood pancake can easily feed two people without overdoing it. The space is casual and small. There's only one cashier/server upfront. She was great! Checked in on us several times. She even told us ahead of time that everything is made to order so it's going to take a bit. Wait wasn't bad, but still be patient! There is a sweet note on the front of the menu from Kevin that is worth the read. Will definitely be back!! read more

Always fun to try new places and looking at the yelp photos I could see it was a small place with about 5 tables. I called and the man I spoke with was nice enough to reserve a table for me and my husband. Reading some reviews I saw a friend reviewed them a week earlier and I trust her opinions. So I knew I wanted to try the garlic soy fried chicken. I also love tempura shrimp so I had to get that. I chose the beef bulgogi bowl for my entree. My husband loves mussels so he got those and he decided to try chicken gizzards. The fried chicken was pretty good. I would get that again. I loved the shrimp tempura and the sauce they drizzled on them. The beef bulgogi bowl was just ok in my opinion. It was a little flavorless for my liking so I added soy sauce and it helped. My husband loved his mussels, he was very impressed. He said the chicken gizzards had great flavor, but he has only eaten them fried before and these were not fried and he couldn't handle the texture of them. If we go back we will definitely try some new things next time. read more

When you first walk in, you are warmly welcomed. They mentioned they just recently opened and would love feedback. What we ate & our thoughts : Baked mussels x 2: love the spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce on top Spicy chicken gizzard: sautéed with whole garlic cloves, jalepenos, and onions. Seafood fried rice: mixed seafood & subtle Seafood pancake: good flavor, could be crispier and have a dipping sauce to go with Unagi-Don: lots of rice and eel sided with miso and seaweed salad. Really good rice & eel had good flavor and texture. 5 pc original chicken wings Gyoza (complimentary- on the house): filled with noodles, chicken, & veggies. Perfectly crispy on the outside Cabbage salad (complimentary): very refreshing and great way to start Miso soup (complimentary): lots of tofu and seaweed, I liked this a lot with the meal. read more

Visited here from a recommendation and so glad I did! This locally owned restaurant has some of the best fried chicken I've ever had! Renee was our food server and patiently explained all of the menu items and helped with our choices-great service! We chose the half portions of crispy fried chicken and garlic soy sauce chicken. Both came with great miso soup (all miso soup is not created equally and we loved this one!) and salads with the best dressing. The chicken was prepared so well-extra crispy on the outside and perfectly juicy on the inside-the chefs really know what they're doing! They were both delicious but the garlic soy was over the top and I had to stop my husband from licking his plate it was so good! The Kim chi rice had all the Korean flavors we love. I can't wait to return to try the spicy chicken which also sounded delicious! read more

I had high hopes for this place seeing the reviews but it didn't hit the spot for me, or the rest of the family. We walked in on a Saturday night to an empty restaurant. The kitchen is open air and very close to the dining area and while the chef cooked a spicy dish someone ordered after we came in, the air filled with smells of spice and we all started coughing, including the chef. I had to step outside to get some air, as it was terrible ventilation inside the restaurant. Foodwise, overall it was just ok. My bulgogi was on the bland side and there was no variety of banchan except for a small plate of radish. My family said they'll never return here, and they aren't picky eaters. It was also annoying they charged a fee for cards, even debit cards. The service was nice enough but sadly, this will be our only visit here. read more

This place is amazing. I'm scared to eat fried chicken, because it hurts my tummy, but this chicken from the moment looked at it I knew it wasn't going too.

Came here since it's in the area and we were so glad to see a new place near home. The interior has some nice decorations with I think 6 tables, so not super small but not big. We ordered the spicy chicken wings, kimchi, rice and the grilled spicy chicken gizzard. It came with cabbage slaw. Slaw was good, kimchi was ok. The chicken wings had a great crunch and the flavor was good. When the spicy gizzards came out, they had to take it outside because the smoke and spice was making everyone cough, so ventilation is not great. The cooks were the most affected but people actually left before ordering because of it. And to my disappointment, it had more of a charred taste than any other flavor but maybe that's what it's supposed to be. It was also more chewy than the gizzards I've had before. We may come back to try the other dishes but from the other reviews, we may wait a little while until they make some changes with the flavor. read more

In the location of the short lived Chimichuri Ecuadorian Grill location stands Kevin's Korean Kitchen. ( follow on Instagram ) . I had been to this location in fact when it was that ill fated Ecuadorian restaurant which I was sad when it closed. So, please patronize Kevin just getting started in the business with what I think is really great food. Everything was exactly as it was from the restaurant before, which is fine, it's very cute and cozy. It didn't take me any time to order as I had previewed the menu online and had made my decision on what I would be eating. I read that the mussels were a must, so I began with those, there were 4 to an order and they come baked and topped with a spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce, they were perfect. Really delightful. I also ordered a beer, a Stella Artois ; surprisingly they didn't offer any Asian beers. As my main dish I ordered the Spicy Pork Lunch box, comparable to a Japanese Bento box. The portions were generous and everything was great. The pork tender and flavorful, the rice short and fluffy and the kimchi, the best probably I've had in the area. ( apparently he buys it from Sacramento, if I'm not mistaken ). And a generous salad with a creamy mayo dressing. The meal also began with a nice warm bowl of Miso soup and there is a wonderful pickled vegetable that I found very appealing. It all was very delicious and filling. I rate this a five star and plan on returning many times. I wish Kevin much luck in his venture, he's a great cook. read more

Very good original chicken, spicy isn't spicy more like a sweet BBQ. There are more cameras than employees, I feel that tips should go to the server but he put it in the tips box instead of keeping it after I directly handed to him. The server was very polite and attentive, there are 6 tables in total in the dining room. The egg should have been yolky in the bibimbop and the kimchi tasted a bit stale. Very warm dining room, do not be in a hurry while trying to eat here because it is all made fresh and took 20+ minutes getting food with 3 other party's in here. I will definitely come back for the chicken. read more

Ordered spicy pork bulgogi and seafood fried rice. The fried rice was a bit salty to my taste to eat by itself, but we mixed it with steamed rice that comes with pork bulgogi, and it was delicious. Both dishes come with a bowl of miso soup (not in picture) and kimchi on the side. Both service and food were great. Bathroom is clean also. Will definitely come back next time to try other dishes on the menu. They charge additional 3% for any card use. read more

My friend and I were excited to check out the new Korean place in Sparks. We showed up right at opening and ordered Jjampong (seafood noodles), Tonkatsu, and some Chicken Wings. The second we ordered, the restaurant got packed, and the kitchen/service seemed to panic a bit. The wait for our food felt pretty long, and things got confusing when they brought us the wrong dish first! The staff was really friendly, but the whole experience was disorganized and chaotic--they even gave us the wrong check when it was time to pay. It feels like they're still trying to figure things out, which is fair since they've only been open a month. * Jjampong: Spicy, flavorful, and served with seafood (shrimp, mussels, and clams) * Tonkatsu: The pork was crispy, but honestly, it was pretty bland. The cabbage salad served with it, delicious dressing. * Chicken Wings: They were just "okay." The pickled radish they came with was way too salty to eat. A huge disappointment was the limited menu and the lack of banchan (side dishes). The few sides we did receive were bad: the kimchi was too sour, and radish was so salty. Good noodle soup, but service chaos, poor sides, and bland dishes result in a disappointing initial experience. read more

This Korean spot is a small intimate restaurant that serves their food hot and fresh! My boyfriend and I were excited to try this new spot out for dinner on a Tuesday night. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered the Kimchi fried rice and the garlic soy chicken wings (half order). The chicken wings also came with a side of radish, coleslaw, and miso soup which we appreciated. Their miso soup is delicious. The chicken and rice portions were generous - we were full at the end of our meal and had leftovers to take home. Everything was delicious. The only "improvement" that could be made is that we noticed that some of skin of the chicken wings were soggy on one side. Service was excellent - our waitress was kind and attentive to us throughout our entire meal. She also warned us that our food might be take awhile to come out since all the food is made to order but my boyfriend and I felt that the amount of time that the food took to cook was an appropriate time and was worth it. Our food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. I am excited to come back to this place and try other stuff on their menu! read more
