    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Korean Corn Dog

    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.

    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.

    Love this place and we always get the chicken bowls . Great portions and price . Amazing flavors and service is quick and always friendly. Nice music in the background too! Thanks Basak. A must have when in the Sparks area .

    Sweet cheese dry rub

    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

    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.

    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!

    Recently went for the Father's Day Buffet. After learning they only offer the brunch buffet 3 times…read morea year (Easter, Mothers Day, & Fathers Day) we decided to try the buffet as it would be the last one since until Easter 2027. The staff and restaurant were lovely as always, and you really can't beat the views from dining on the outdoor patio overlooking the Marina. If you have general hesitations when it comes to buffet food, you can put them at ease when at the Water Bar, as even the typical 'filler food' like salad and mashed potatoes were out-of-this-world good. I'm not kidding when I say their buffet-style Caesar Salad was better than any made-to-order Caesar I've had. Same goes for their garlicy mashed potatoes, they were heavenly! The poached prawns were prepared perfectly, and the snow crab legs and claws were delicious and easy to eat (if you're used to shelling your own crab). The soy-glazed salmon with wild rice was surprisingly flavorful and melted in my mouth. Even the mac & cheese was rich and creamy- I can't think of a single item I tried that was sub-par. I ended the meal with a slice of carrot cake that I kept thinking about long after I left. It was moist and well-spiced with a very decadent frosting, the perfect end to a delicious brunch. I will say, we weren't aware the cost per person for the buffet was $80 (it wasn't displayed on the buffet menu, our server didn't share this when telling us about the buffet, and we didn't ask). We have no regrets on opting for the brunch buffet, as again all the food was truly incredible. However, an $80 price tag will likely keep us from opting for the brunch buffet again in the future.

    So figured I needed an update from my review three years ago…read more My best lunch buddy and I picked this spot for our monthly ladies' lunch. We decided to sit on the patio inspite of it being a very hot day. They have made some well needed update to the "outdoor" seating since the last time I was here. It is now enclosed wth glass and huge umbrellas to provide shade. It was definitely warm, but the view of the Marina is always worth it. We were seated right away and were given menus to peruse while they brought our drinks - no "Wet Woody" so iced tea and an Arnold Palmer fit the bill. The glasses are bottomless - a definite plus. We shared an order of deep-fried Zucchini with dipping sauce. Most excellent. My friended ordered the Dungeness Crab Cakes and I got the Teriyaki Salmon Salad. Both were good. My salad was huge! I had enough left over to take for lunch. Our service was good, a little slow in getting the Arnold Palmer, but otherwise all went well. Chris and Tomas were our servers. Yes, it is worth a return visit.

This was super nice because it would have been a 45 minute wait to get a table. The kitchen was behind due to 5 big parties and only 5 servers. The manager kept apologizing for the delay and we were fine with it, us girls had a lot of catching up to do. We all had the special $13 menu deals. Everyone chose a different menu item so it was fun to see all the variety dishes all at once. With the $13 special it includes pkooskie which is the best part. I had the wedge salad which I had not tried before and it was quite tasty and the hot honey pizza with pepperoni and ham, cooked perfectly and crispy, just the way I like it. A round of happy hour drinks and three appetizers $50 and dinner for 7 $125 that's what I call a great deal! We had awesome service even with the delay! If you're looking some where that is reasonable with a large group look no further this place is for you.
