When we walked in, we were instantly greeted. My little daughter was hangry and noticing that as we walked through the door, we were greeted with crayons and a coloring book. The food was fresh and soo good. I had the fried chicken, and it was crispy and juicy! The dumplings tasted fresh (not frozen). The atmosphere was welcoming, and the food tasted amazing. My new favorite place to eat. read more

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

We stumbled upon Kevin's Korean Chicken on our way to another restaurant. Wanting to go back to Kevin's to "check it out", today was that day. Going at lunch we ordered a couple of plates to test out the cuisine. First on deck were the Chicken Wings. A 5 piece order, they had this delicious sweet, thick, soy flavored sauce. OMG were they good. A touch sticky and not quite as crunchy as I would have preferred, they were indeed delicious. We also ordered the Bulgogi Combination Plate. SO MUCH FOOD. The salad was amazing, from the crunch of the cabbage to the flavors of the homemade dressing. "Kevin" came out and said that the dressing is homemade from a recipe passed down through his family. So good. The combination comes with Miso Soup. The soup was good, with bits of seaweed and a few chunks of tofu. Solid. The combination comes with a generous portion of Tempura, vegetables as well as two pieces of Tempura Shrimp. The Tempura Shimp was fantastic, with batter being light, flavorful, with a welcoming crunch to the taste. The Vegetable Tempura, while good, was not as satisfying as the Shrimp. It could be because the Tempura was sitting in the Bulgogi sauce, making the Tempura a bit soggy. No matter, still quite good. The Bulgogi was good, plenty of protein and LOTS of vegetables. I really appreciated the balance of meat and veggies. I would have liked a bit more flavor from my Bulgogi but this dish was totally fine and I would definitely order again. Kevin's Korean Kitchen is a small, family owned and operated business, situated in an older strip mall. There were plenty of seats/tables. Normally I would NEVER suggest peeking into the kitchen of your favorite Asian Restaurant. Just don't do it. Kevin's was oddly clean. I mean sparkling clean. I had to use the bathroom and the facilities were nothing short of sparkling. As I returned from the bathroom, I would see the kitchen, it was equally clean and organized. What a unexpected surprise. If you're looking for simple but good Korean, give Kevin's a try. 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

Tasty spot hidden in Sparks - service was very friendly and fast. Spice was....not really there on the chicken. I expected a hotter spice level and was disappointed on that front. Additionally the chicken pieces were small - more breading than meat on the chicken. The beef bulgogi was spicy and plated like fajitas. Kimchi was flavorful. read more

Kevin's Korean Kitchen popped up on my social media months ago but I never found the time to try it. Last weekend, I went with my best friend and will definitely be going back! The food was delicious, fresh, and seasoned to perfection! The staff was super friendly and walked us through the menu as well as talked about her favorite dishes! If you're looking for some great fried chicken and/or some traditional Korean food, you have to try this place!! 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

Was greated kindly upon entry. Our first try here. I ordered a 5 piece chicken wing . Kevin knows how to make chicken wings! Perfect crunch but for spicy, I feel they could have been spicier. Also ordered the spicy ramen. Ramen had a pretty good kick to it bit again, could of been spicier. To each his own. The ramen came with a small coleslaw and it was crunchy and delicious. My wife got the kimchi rice and says it was good. Im not much into kimchi so I didn't try. Nice, small space and very clean. Kind of loud when everyone is talking at once. I will definitely be back to try the bulgagi. 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

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

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

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

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

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

A much enjoyed Korean fun dinner after a long trip. We arrived back home in Reno after a long drive and were not in a mood to cook. We craved sweet and savory and Korean chicken came to mind. We've tried other Korean chicken and beer restaurants in the Reno-area and this one is by far the best. The server talked with and engaged our three little children and gave them a coloring page. The chicken was tasty, moist inside and a bit crispy outside with just the right amount of sauce. The pickles and kimchis kept us busy while waiting. One improvement that would be extra would be to offer Korean/asian beer brands in addition to they typical beer 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

Seriously impressed with their seafood pancake. Such a perfect balance of sweet and savory that I didn't know could exist in a seafood pancake. Easily my favorite thing we had. We got the soy garlic whole fried chicken and it was also good! I personally think that it was cooked for a little too long than I would've wanted, but it was nice and tender in the inside still. I would've also liked the fried chicken to be more coated with soy garlic sauce and I think that could've really been what makes it better for me; I just love chicken tossed in sauce and I don't mind getting my hands dirty. The seafood fried rice was good as well. I definitely wish there were more options for banchan other than kimchi though. Service was very friendly and they were checking up on us. I would like to come back to try some of their other items. 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

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

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 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

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
