My son got his haircut next door to here and he saw their photo of croffle in the window and asked for one. We had time since we were just running errands to have a quick bite so we walked in. We were greeted upon entering. It's a cute little space and I looked over and saw two men working very hard and quickly in the kitchen. The gentleman that took our order was friendly enough. I ordered a Korean cheese corn dog with ketchup, mustard and sugar, an order of dumplings, pickled radishes, a plain croffle, and two drinks. That ran us about $24 with tax, it was a very affordable meal. I didn't want to push it and over order. I did want to try their popcorn chicken and wings. I ordered based solely on my cravings today and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious. I loved being able to order pickled radishes, that was a refreshing addition to my meal. I can't wait to come back. My son enjoyed his croffle and asked if when I bring him to get his haircut if we could stop by more often. We are already looking forward to our next meal! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

This place has the best chicken bowl, great tasting, good portion and price. The staff is really friendly all the time never had a bad experience I highly recommend. The service is great even when it's super busy. I've tried quite a few items and everything is really good. Nice, clean fast service. Highly recommend. read more

Still so amazing. Such friendly service and delicious food! This time we enjoyed tenders (k spicy and soy garlic) and onion fries (fries with yummy onion seasoning!) and a beef corndog. Recommend ranch if you're going spicy with the tenders as k spicy brings some heat. Quite possibly the best corndog I've ever tasted. Keep up the amazing work! We you! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

If your taste buds are begging for the ultimate Korean fried chicken experience, stop everything and make your way here trust me, your life will never be the same. I've been here at least a dozen times since they opened, and each visit reaffirms why this spot is in a league of its own. Let's talk about the essentials. The 8 piece Sweet and Spicy wings paired with the Spicy Curry fries is a combo that should be illegal for how good it is. The wings? Absolute perfection. Sweet meets heat in the most balanced way, with seasoning that's bold but never overpowers. The crunch is everything seriously, it's the kind of crunch that makes you pause mid bite just to appreciate it. Inside, the meat is tender, juicy, cooked to utter perfection, and coated in that magical glaze that makes your fingers taste like a dream. These wings aren't just good they're an experience. Now, the Spicy Curry fries oh. my. gosh. These are the side that steals the show. That powdered curry seasoning hits you with earthy, aromatic richness and just the right hint of heat. Each fry is like a mini flavor explosion. My only teeny critique? Occasionally the fries get a smidge soggy. A tiny detail in an otherwise near perfect snack. And if you're feeling extra indulgent, do not, I repeat, do not skip the Korean corn dog. Two options sausage stuffed or gooey mozzarella. I am forever loyal to the mozzarella. It's massive, overflowing with stretchy, melty cheese that gives you pure satisfaction with every bite. The exterior is golden and crispy, the perfect vehicle for that sweet-savory dance of ketchup, mustard, and sugar. Imagine a churro had a lovechild with a cheese stick that's what you're biting into. Whether you're popping in for a quick snack or committing to a full meal, this place delivers every single time. Generous portions, bold flavors, and that kind of comfort that makes you already planning your next visit before you leave. If Korean fried chicken is your jam (and let's be real, whose isn't?), this is the spot that will make your taste buds sing and your foodie heart happy. read more

One of my favorite go to lunch spots (thanks to delivery to my office). The chicken rice bowl with the sweet and spicy sauce is incredible, so filling and a perfect price point for what you get. That paired with the pickled radish and it's a complete package meal. I need to continue to try more things from the menu but every time we order I keep going back to the same classic because it's so good! read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Basak Chicken - Chicken Wings (8 Pieces), K-Potato Salad (8oz), K-Radish (8oz) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Finally!! A Korean chicken joint in Reno/Sparks!! And it's locally owned! The pictures I took of the wings don't do it justice, because in real life their chicken is large, juicy and perfectly crispy. They also drench it in sauce so every inch is covered so no need for a dipping sauce. They have several flavors to choose from such as: garlic soy, K spicy, K soy, spicy soy sweet and spicy (yangnyeom) and dry rubs such as sweet cheese and spicy curry. I got a 20 pieces of wings with these flavors: garlic soy, K soy and sweet and spicy. I don't have the highest tolerance for spicy, but the sweet and spicy wasn't spicy at all for me. The other two sauces also had a touch of sweetness to them, but it didn't take away from the soy sauce flavor. We also had the Korean corn dog and the sweet cheese seasoned fries that both weren't photographed because they ended up in our stomach long before we got home. The Korean corn dog can be accessorized with ketchup, sugar and mustard, but is honesty good on its own already. The seasoned sweet cheese fries were good, but was a dry rub which I wasn't expecting. Overall everything was great, but next time I may not buy a 20 piece because the wings were large. Can't wait to try out different flavors next time! read more

Hands down, my favorite chicken place! I have never been to a place with bigger pieces, I feel like they special order their pieces from somewhere because it comes with so much meat! It's so good! My favorite is the garlic soy. Their hot dogs are also amazing! Fluffy and delicious. Service has always been fast and great. read more

First time at Basak Chicken a few days ago and I liked it alot. Shame when I got home however I dropped my Sweet Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl :( From what was left of it...the flavor was delicious and I'll have to go again. Fritzie and I would also enjoy their 8 piece K-Spicy and Garlic Soy chicken in which the flavors were great, but I would've loved a bit more crispiness to their chicken. I have standards in 2025. :-D Stopping by their restaurant, it was pretty nice. The dining area was small, cozy, good for lunches and 2-4 party dining experiences and the cashier and who I believe was the manager was courteous bringing to me my order. Overall I'm happy to have been able to try this spot for the first time. Definitely try their Rice Bowl! It was delicious with crispy chicken in the bowl with a hint of spice, a creamy mayo sauce, onion and added ingredients... Man I really wish I didn't drop it. read more

Basak Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

First off, I can't believe it took us this long to visit this shop! Incredible tasting food and with such huge portions! My older daughter tried it out one time and took home some leftovers. I was pretty impressed. Been wanting to try it out for the full experience but haven't the chance to. Now we were able to finally try it out because we were let down by some other establishment whose Korean corn dogs disappointed us. Sadly, we weren't able to order corn dogs because they were out! I jokingly said it was because the other establishment didn't live up to expectations so everybody came here to redeem themselves. Corn dogs, or not, you won't be disappointed. Their chicken wings are extraordinarily big! You will definitely get fairly full even just by getting the 4 piece. My and wife I split the 16 piece while our two kids ordered the chicken sandwiches. We all shared an order of fries. It was so much food we took home the leftovers. Everybody loved their food but the only small negative the wife brought up was everything was too sweet, therefore saying they use a lot of sugar. The dining room has ample space for people to sit down and eat. I don't recommend having a party of more than 4 without having to have different tables. The background music is on point because they play K-Pop, of course! I can't wait to go back to try out their corn dogs! read more

We have already been to Basak...twice. But who's counting? It's close to home and right beside our fave neighborhood liquor store! Win, win. We tried sweet cheese, garlic soy, and sweet & spicy. All were very good, but the garlic soy seemed a little light on that luscious garlicy sauce. The sweet & spicy are the Rosetta Stone. Hubby really liked the sweet cheese, but to me it was giving cool ranch Doritos. Good, just not my personal fave. The sides are BOMB! They call kimchi "Napa salad" so if you're looking for the classical accompaniment, don't be put off by what sounds like what a skinny girl orders in wine country! The K-tater salad is AMAZING! Overall, the menu is great, prices are reasonable, the wings are oversized, the staff is legit SO nice & friendly. This is such a BONUS addition in my neighborhood & I look forward to many more visits! read more

We tried going to the other Korean chicken shop up the road but they only had 28 wings left when our party of 10 arrived. Glad that happened because we wouldn't have been able to try this place out. These wing were very good. Had the K Spicy, Garlic Soy, Kalbi, Sweet and Spicy Sauces. Our party thought this place was head and shoulders better than the popular chain Bon Chon (I might disagree). Each order comes with 2 sides. We had a combination of rice, potato salad, dumplings and pickled radish, which all complimented the wings very well. Service was excellent. They went above and beyond what you would expect from an order at the counter and find a table kind of place. read more

Had to try the new chicken spot in Sparks and was not disappoint. The place is small and cozy but runs quick and efficient, it didn't take long at all to get our order. I ordered 8 which allowed me two flavors. The flavor selection is very limited, so if you like tradition wing flavors only it may not be the spot for you. I went with soy garlic and soy spicy. The garlic was my favorite of the two but both had impressive flavoring, although i didnt taste any spicy in the soy spicy. I was worried the soy would make it salty but that was not the case. They had a wonderful crunch as well. I went with onion rings as a side and was not let down there either. The only area this spot might be lacking is the ambiance and decor, as it still has an unfinished look about it. I noticed they also had Korean corn dogs as well, so I will have to circle back another day to give that a try as well. read more

I like how ceusypy the chicken is. The popcorn chicken was ok in crunch, but was made of real chicken. We didn't add a flavor to it, but if we did we would do the sweet and spicy. We had it with no flavor and was still good. Our kiddo loved it! Ranking of flavors: 1st place the sweet and spicy 2nd sweet cheese 3rd and 4th are tied. The k spice and soy garlic. Some feedback. We speculate the soy garlic and the k spice is the same base. The ibky difference is they add some spice to k spice. We wished it would have more spice and wasn't so liquid in sauce so it could really stick to the breading. The sweet cheese was perfect. It was notnovwrwhelming in the sweetness and for me just right. We loved the flavors from the sweet and spicy, but it would be nice to have spic ranks for it pr just make it spicier. We love spice though. So don't take our word on that. It's really good. Overall the sweetness and the flavors balance out well. The space is a little small so it looks like a good place for a small group to dine in or just take out. The wings were nice and hot when we ate, but if you aren't too ar it most likely will still be hot for your dinner. The staff were super sweet and attentive. One even made rounds to check in on us. We would for sure come back and hope to see a lot more people come and check them out! Looks like not many people know they are open. read more

Loving this new chicken place! Very convenient to walk to on my lunch breaks. You get a lot of food for the price, and they have lunch specials. I've only tried their chicken rice bowl so far and it's delicious! I love the soy garlic flavor. The first two times I came here, the bowl was identical. But the third time, they put SO MUCH mayo and sauce that it made the rice so mushy and gross. Didn't appreciate it as much that time. So hopefully it was a one time fluke. I wasn't a fan of their version of the potato salad but combined with a bite of the rice and chicken, it tasted pretty good. But not something I would order again. I wish be coming back to try the corn dogs! Friendly service, and food comes out fast. Small space so not great for large groups. read more

Basak Chicken - Chicken Rice bowl (soy garlic) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Heard a new Korean wings restaurant recently opened in the area so my sister and I came here on a Wednesday night for pick up. The ease of placing to go order online was awesome, very convenient now a days. We were able to place our order and head out from northwest reno as it was going to be 17 minutes for the order to be ready. By the time we got there it was a before 8 pm and there were 2 tables with people finishing up their meals, which was a good sign being that it was later at night. The vibrant walls made it welcoming. We were greeted almost immediately and was able to pick up our food without waiting. We ended up last minute ordering side dishes before we left! I hope to come back and try the food at the restaurant as the food cooled down by the time we came back home to eat. I will say the wings were pretty meaty. We held off on getting anything spicy in case my kids or step mom wanted to try the food. We ordered the Korean corn dog with sugar, fries seasoned with curry, and 8 wings with k-soy and sweet cheese. Overall, the food was more on the sweet side, a given for some korean food. This is usually paired with the spicier tastes, so I hope to try those flavors next time. The corn salad and k- potato salad gave our meals balance to cut through the sweet flavors. I felt the the corn salad tasted more like a potato salad than the potato salad. All in all I think I have to give it another chance and eat at the restaurant to give a full review! read more

Basak Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I'm going to be the one to say it, this is the best fried chicken in the Sparks/Reno area. I'm absolutely blown away by how crispy, juicy and tasty the chicken is at Basak Chicken. My favorite flavors were the Soy Garlic and the Yangnyeom (Sweet & Spicy), but I'm excited to try all flavors available. The chicken sandwich was a very generous portion and extremely delicious too. They also offer plenty of food items such as Korean Corn Dogs or different rice bowls so there's something for everyone. I already see myself becoming a regular here and I encourage anyone to try Basak Chicken, you'll be supporting a local business! read more

Definitely my go-to spot for Korean fried chicken in Reno--just wish it wasn't so far from me . Casual ambiance with not a lot of room to dine in, so I would probably just opt for to-go. Enjoyed their popcorn chicken. Most of all, the flavors were just on point and heavenly, and at a very reasonable and competitive price point. Service was alright but when we went, they were fairly busy. Will definitely come back a third time. read more

Ordered to-go when we originally ordered takeout at Wings on Sullivan but had the disappointing message that they sold out of bone in wings for the day. Ordered popcorn chicken (plain), 2 small wings (spicy soy and sweet and spicy), Korean corn dog and sweet curry seasoned fries all for about $40! Went to pick it up as it was ready after my visit at Wings and the sweet lady had it packed including wet wipes and utensils that I didn't ask for but was pleasantly surprised to find. The flavor on the wings were amazing as it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy and was able to enjoy each both. The sweet curry seasoned fries took the win for my partner and I as the taste was so unique I was intrigued when I saw it on the menu. The Korean corn dog was definitely in the opening process as it was fairly big but could tell it was hand made. The location was prime being on Sparks and Prater near Peg's and the inside was a casual setting great for a quick lunch or intimate date. They had lunch specials posted but with my timeframe I wasn't able to capture. Will definitely come back to try the other flavors and items on the menu! read more

Basak Chicken in Sparks just ruined all other chicken for me. I got the sweet & spicy chicken tenders, a strawberry croffle, and a matcha latte--and I'm still thinking about it. The chicken? Insanely juicy, perfectly crispy, drenched in the best sweet-spicy sauce I've ever tasted. As a white girl who loves spicy food but has the most fragile taste buds on the planet, this heat was PERFECT--mild, flavorful, warming, and addictive without killing your mouth. And the croffle... an absolute masterpiece. Crispy, soft, sweet, unreal. Matcha latte? Smooth, balanced, no bitterness. Just perfection. The location? Immaculate, so clean you can't help but notice and unmatched customer service. Fast Food Restaurant 5 star Vibes Basak Chicken isn't just good--it's dangerously good. I will be back. Repeatedly.

Nice little place. The people were very friendly and very willing to help. We ordered the chicken rice bowl with sweet and spicy sauce. Wings with sweet and spicy sauce and k-soy sauce. We also had the corn dog. The rice bowl was fairly large and was very tasty. Rice chicken lettuce mayo and the sauce. I took most of it to go. The wings were huge and very crunchy. The k-soy sauce was much like teriyaki sauce with more of a kick. The corn dog was not my favorite the flavor of the breading did not appeal to me, but it was very crunchy and hot. Will be back for the wings. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for quite some time. We finally were able to pop in for the first time and we were not disappointed. It is a small little restaurant on prater we were unsure of what to order but the gentleman that helped take our order was very helpful and giving us ideas and suggestions on which chicken to order as well as which sauce I ordered the breaded popcorn chicken with rice with the sweet and spicy sauce, my husband ordered the grilled chicken and rice with the soy garlic sauce. Both were full of flavor. The grilled chicken tasted more like a teriyaki sauce. My sauce was a little bit on the more flavorful side. Everything was great that we ordered there. We also ordered the potstickers which were fantastic. We will be back to try the Korean hotdogs. read more

Something that is under rated and sparce in Reno is some KFC ( Korean Fried Chicken). Well, now we've got the real deal. This unassuming store front is the place to be for a good lunch. When you walk in the door you are greeted by friendly staff that will welcome you up to the order counter. After we ordered, the food flew out of the kitchen. The chicken was hot, crispy and fresh and every sauce was a winner. Although, the real winner of the day was the Korean Corn Dog. The cheese pull on it was next level, truly a thing of beauty with just the right amount of sweetness. It is so good to see the growth of the Reno food scene and Basak really hits the mark. read more

We dropped by Basak Chicken to have a bit of a "snack". When we arrived , the restaurant had a few diners but not overly crowded, so we immediately walked up to counter to place our order. We ordered a Korean corndog, some drinks and a 16-pcs order of chicken: half spicy curry flavor and half soy garlic. While my brother and sister waited for the food, my niece and I went next door to get some boba and when walked back in, the proprietors were nice enough to let us keep our drinks. The Korean corndog was massive with a combination of savory and sweet flavor from sprinkling of sugar. The chicken was perfectly cooked, both flavors tasted good but I prefer the soy-garlic flavor more. It has a great umami flavor. Overall, our second visit to Basak Chicken was better than the first; we're definitely fans of this place. read more
