    Egg rolls
    Marybell R.

    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!

    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.

    Just saying, I've come 3 times since my first visit and all three times it's been closed. Sad because I'm trying to get my friends to come, now they sadly won't return .

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The service is really good, cute little spot inside the shopping center on Pyramid. The food was really good. I got the kimchi fried rice and it had a little spice and lits of flavor. The chicken wings were nice and crispy and flavorful as well. I will be back, hopefully to pop in for lunch and try something new.

    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.

    First time..

    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....

    I do my best to make eating fast food to a minimum- but alas, chicken tenders have their place! The…read morelast time I visited this location was somewhere between 3-5 years ago, and enough has changed to write about it. Food: And this time, it seems that the the Cane's sauce containers have gotten smaller, which really hurts! It sucks when companies charge the same price but decrease the portion sizes. It gets on my nerves a bit more than I'd like to admit. The chicken itself had little flavor, but when dipped in the Cane's sauce, offered the salty and delicious flavor that I remember. Good crisp, and cooked well. Cooked all the way through without being dry. The side fixings were delightful. Texas toast, coleslaw, and fries made up most of our plate. The Texas toast is crispy, buttery, and warm, everything I could ask for really. The fries served here are your traditional crinkle cut. It's not my favorite style of fry, although I appreciate how thinly they're cut, so they get a more even cook. Of course I paired it all with a side of sweet tea. It's as tasty as I remember it being, and the ice is the small and rounded shapes that make it really fun to drink from. Service: We were helped pretty quickly, and able to find a quiet corner of the indoor seating despite it being a busy lunch time around 1 pm on a Friday. At times, it was a bit too busy for my liking around the service counter waiting for our food. Otherwise, we enjoyed our table and hung around for a little bit after finishing our meal. If I'm going out for some chicken tenders nowadays, I think I would rather support local and go to somewhere like Crazy D's. I like the crispiness of their chicken better as well as the flavor. At Cane's, I appreciate the quantity and quality you get for the price, but I'd rather pay more or the same for a better quality chicken tendy!

    Servixe is always very spotty here. Today they had a catering and accidentally through our food…read moreaway. Before this my husband checked in to see if the order was almost ready. They were just waiting on the toast. Few moments later the food went to the trash as the other person didnt see the ticket and assumed it was excess from the large varering order. Not sure how she confused that as catering orders are in different containers. When he saw that he told her was that my order. She apologized and he showed her the app order. As the app doesn't show if you upgrade the drinks they have us the normal size drinks. She did give some extra sauce. Hence the second star in this review. For overall the food quality is always consistent. We love the chicken and the canes sauce. I love the tea and always upgrade if we order pickup. We waited another 15 to 20 minutes. As of course this was dying the canes rush hour. The waiting and service confusion is the reason. Why they get a low score. The food and other members are most likely fine. I understand there was another order, but next time confirm with your team before scrapping food and the ticket. Im still confused on the entire incident. Can't do anything about it. Also if you have a complaint. The email receipt says to complain to the store that serviced you. I dont see how they can help if they lost our ticket order. How can you trust it. So if you want canes. Don't order ahead. Just go in person. Some reason you dont have order issues. If you do, typically someone corrects it. I thi k she was trying her best. Just frustrating. Still go and support. They are an awesome team. There are just some off days. We will still go and enjoy as long as this doesn't happen again. They seem to forget something all the time. Anotherni cident prior to this is one kiddo got a toy and the other didnt. So check your to go meals. I didnt for this instant it was my fault. We were running late to the kids school lunch day eith family. I had a meeting go a little over and needed to make sure we made it within the window. Luckily. Our little.one didn't get jealous the other one got a toy. Also its super busy here and gets loud on Fridays and the weekends. The cars also wrap around the parking lot. So dont park closest to the building. You may never get out.

They just add some spicy seasoning to the regular chicken. This doesn't allow even coverage. If the breading was a spicy breading mixture versus spicy seasoning it would work better. Some of my chicken had no spicy seasoning and some one piece seemed to have most of it in one spot. I do think their tenders are some of the smaller pieces compared to other chicken places.

So the place was naturally clean because it's brand new, and the employees were good. Kind. The food is made to order, so it comes out fresh and piping hot. I ordered the cayenne ranch chicken sandwich and a order of okra. The seasoning on the breading of the okra is non-existent. My sandwich in my opinion is pretty small for the price, but it tasted good. Not the best, but not the worst either. I typically use Louisiana hot sauce on my okra, but I don't think they have that here, but they didn't even offer any ketchup or ranch so I had to go back inside and ask. I can say I tried it. It's definitely not a place that I'll specifically leave the house to go to, like Burger King, or Dave's Hot Chicken. But if I happen to be in the area and I'm super super hungry and my only option is Sonic and McDonald's, it might be McDonald's, but it might not be. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

A staff person greeted us and we could sit wherever. We ordered the combination pho, spring rolls, and the iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything came out very quickly and very hot.

Otherwise, the quality of the pho is exceptional. The spring rolls were good. The peanut sauce is not as thick as I like it, but it was still good. The iced Vietnamese coffee was amazing! It was not too sweet, and not too bitter with enough coffee flavor. The interior was definitely remodeled and they expanded to the neighboring building.
