KIO // KFC hands down slaps. I got the OG and Snow Cheddar Wings and JUST WOW. PACKED with flavor, juicy and super crispy. Came with a side of rice and pickled radish. The sweet potato fries was sweet and savory, crispy with every bite. I will have to come back with my friends and family to try their other wing flavors and dishes. Highly recommend!! KIO KFC does NOT DISAPPOINT. read more

This place is BOMB. The fried chicken was crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Suuuuper flavorful. The fries had some extra batter or something to it.. deep fried goodness. Coleslaw is nice and refreshing. I thought I would want more pickled radish, but it was a good amount. I live a bit far from this place so I made sure to take a bite right when I got into my car lol. Once I actually got to eat it, it was like half an hour in, it def didn't taste as good as it was fresh, but can't help that. Just dig in asap! I just wish this was closer to me and in a better location. It's a small parking lot which luckily wasn't too packed (Sunday around 12:30p). The place is mainly for pick up although they have 1 or 2 tables inside. They share the space with other restaurants so essentially you enter this small room and wait for them to come out to deliver the food. I would say you should just wait in your car until you get a text that your food is done. (Also their phone number didn't work so... best to just wait!) There are people just sleeping or talking to themselves all along Main St, but none were in the parking lot. I personally wouldn't go by myself at night... so I hope they can get a shop in Chinatown or Cheongdam food hall one day crossing my fingers!!!!! read more

When you pull up, it definitely doesn't have the best welcome. It's a super tight lot with the most random cars just sitting. It was a bit frustrating to park and to leave. But the inside ambiance is just open and bright. Kiosk was unfortunately down today. We ordered online for a pick up of 6:25 which was the earliest possible when ordering at 5:40. We opted to order some simple fries for a quick bite. We arrived a bit early since it was our first time. Unfortunately even with calling in and letting them know the fries were still not ready until after 6:25. Could just be they wanted it fresh. We opted for Snow Cheddar Fries. I've had them before from Bbq chicken, but they recently discontinued it. So I wanted to try it out. The flavor was on point and perfect balance of sweet and salty. I loved it, however even still being fresh they don't have a typical french fry crunch, more of the soggy texture. Which can be hit or miss for me. The only other miss is the price point. It was around $10 before tip for this box. So it's a pricey snack. Overall cool concept and would love to give them another try, especially for wings as that is typically what they are known for. Just order way way in advance. read more

We were hungry after our event at Fremont Street so we went on Yelp and found KIO which was located 3-4 mins from us. KIO is part of a ghost kitchen so the place looked sketchy from the picture, especially late at night. We still decided to go, and got there around 1:15ish AM. The place was actually well-lit and secured behind the thick metal gates so don't be afraid! The owner and his girlfriend were outside when we parked. They greeted us, walked us inside, and explained the ordering process. You can order via a kiosk, directly with the owner/girlfriend, online via their website, or through food delivery apps. It does take about 20 mins to make the chicken so if you're in a hurry, I recommend you place your order online. There are some tables inside the ghost kitchen for you to eat, but the majority of people take their orders to-go. While we were waiting for our food, we got to chat with the owner. He genuinely cares about his customers, making an effort to get to them, and is trying to build a community here. It's clear that the owner has a deep love for the food industry, especially when it comes to chicken and strongly believes in his product. On top of that, he's just a really cool guy and is someone we think we'd be great friends with. You can tell he's got big dreams of expanding, and with his passion, I have no doubt he'll make it happen :) Now for the food itself. If you order wings, the order will come with a side of pickled white radish. This is a must have (in my opinion) to balance out the savoriness of Korean fried chicken. In terms of the chicken flavor, the owner said it's lighter than your typical Korean fried chicken. I didn't understand it until I tried the wings. The batter is thinner so you don't taste a lot of flour, and the wings do not taste overly greasy. The chicken is just absolutely phenomenal--crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. KIO O.G. (Original) Wings: I thought O.G. wings would be boring with little to no seasoning but KIO proved me wrong. It's brined with special ingredients and fried in a unique batter so that's probably what contributed to the amazing flavor profiles. It was also the crispiest of all the wings we got. The wings come with both the KIO House and KIO Padak sauces which is nice; at other Korean restaurants, you would have to pay extra for the sauces. KIO Honey Butter Wings: This was good but could use a bit more of the honey butter sprinkles. You can enjoy this one with additional sauces since the honey butter flavor is more on the subtle side. KIO Savory Soy Garlic Wings: I rarely find a place that does soy garlic well so I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was actually my favorite of the 3 wings I tried. Their soy garlic sauce was perfect so you don't need any extra sauce. KIO House Sauce: This is a sweet & garlicky aioli made with fresh garlic & ginger using a Korean chili paste. It tasted very similar to sriracha mayo and was great for dipping the fries in. KIO KIO Sauce: This is a sweet & spicy aioli made from roasted garlic & Korean chili paste. The description sounds good, but this sauce missed the mark for me. I didn't think it complimented the korean fried chicken or fries. KIO Padak Sauce: This is a tangy Korean mustard sauce mixed with honey, lemon juice, and scallion and is basically a Korean version of wasabi. It's got a nice kick to it and pairs well with the KIO O.G. wings. KIO French Fries ($6.99): The fries came with a sauce which I think is chipotle, but I could be wrong. These were delicious and great alone or dipped in sauce. They weren't that crispy by the time we got home, but the flavors were outstanding enough to make them taste so good still. KIO Kimchi ($2.50): Their kimchi was just okay and fell short compared to everything else we tried. That's not to say it was bad. KIO Mochi Cheese Ball Doughnuts ($6.99 for 4 pieces): Woah, these doughnuts were intriguing. My palette was so confused because there were so many flavors and textures with this doughnut, but not in a bad way. The doughnut had a nice fluffy presentation. When you take the first bite, it deflates then becomes chewy and soft inside. I wasn't sure what the filling was because it was slightly sweet from the sugar on top then changes to creamy from the cream cheese and ended with a bit savory from the mozzarella cheese. The doughnuts come with a side of condensed milk which paired well together. My husband and I are definitely rooting for this place and can't wait to come back to try their other items! read more

This is take out/delivery only as they are a ghost kitchen. I appreciated that they are open a bit later. The food took about 30/40ish minutes to make but everything was very good! They were very personable calling us back to ensure we got everything and were willing to bring it out to the car. We went in the evening so the building is a bit tucked off but once you find it there is ample parking to wait. I do prefer a harder fry on my chicken but the chicken was very juicy and well flavored. The secret spicy yam wings had a nice kick to them and paired well with the fresh hot white rice. The fries were yummy and I had to stop myself from eating them all on the car ride home.I have never had cold seaweed soup but it was really refreshing and tied into the rest of the meal. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors of wings next time! read more

I don't want to post this review because I want to gate keep it -- they're that good. I personally don't like eating chicken because I am very picky. When it comes to my wings, they need to be crispy on the outside, flavorful throughout and not bland by any means, and most importantly MOIST. KIO KFC excelled in all of this. We are huuuuuge fans of Pelicana Chicken but KIO is far superior in our opinion. KIO is primarily a pickup/delivery food establishment aka ghost kitchen (check out my videos/pictures for our initial reaction upon arrival). We didn't order ahead of time because we thought there was a dine in option, so we ordered when we got there and patiently waiting for our chicken (about 30 min). If you are picking up, walk up the ramp, it will lead you to a small white room. This is a lobby area for various food establishments so once you arrive, call KIO once you are there. I've seen them also bring the food out to cars as well for pickup. My boyfriend and I ordered the following: 40 pieces of chicken (soy garlic wet, spicy yam yam wet, original dry w/ side of padak sauce (if you like horseradish this is good), and honey butter dry (my favorite), OG chicken sandwich, sides - rice cos we're Filipino and eat our chicken wings with rice (wings were so good we forgot about it lol), french fries (crispy and moist throughout our whole dinner, should've gotten more). Between the two of us we finished EVERYTHING. EVERYTHINGGG. We live in Henderson and we will drive to them again - no hesitation. We will also have them catered in the future (if they do that) because they are so good. Note about their customer service: Since it is a pickup/delivery service there is not much contact but while we were eating in the parking lot we realized we never got our drinks. (we were already 80% done with our food and didn't drink anything lol - that good.) I just called them back and she was so kind, she sincerely apologized and already planned on texting and refunding our drinks, but I told her we were just outside and she just brought them out and offered ice as well. I forgot her name but we had a short conversation with her about our experience. We truly appreciate the genuine hospitality and overall amazing foodie experience from them. read more

packing the food like this , was never smart. food came mad cold , and thats not on the driver as much as it on the restaurant for not providing a cover for the food. a paper bag is not a cover when the food itself is in open-faced boxes. it just not smart packaging. and this food cost 50 dollars btw. 50 dollars for this. read more

I got the #2 KIO Mega Wings Box Combo with OG KIO (no sauce) plus the Korean Banana Milk, KIO Cold Seaweed Soup, White Rice & Korean Banana Milk, and ordered the Korean mustard sauce on the side and everything was SO GOOD!! I was a little early picking up my dinner since I came right after tennis, and thought I'd just wait in the lobby. The instructions in my receipt were very clear since they're operating out of a ghost kitchen, and I called to let them know I arrived early. The owner came out to greet me with some water which was really nice of her, and asked me if I wanted to try any sauces besides the mustard one I got. She made some suggestions and came out with my dinner soon after. The chicken was super fresh and juicy, the cold seaweed soup was perfect after playing tennis in 106F weather, the rice had the right amount of stickiness and the (padak?) sauce with the Korean mustard was the most delicious sauce I ever had (it tasted like the Chinese mustard you get at dim sum restaurants, but saucier and not yellow)! I didn't think I'd finish everything because it looked like a lot, but I must have worked up an appetite and was so stuffed that I'm saving my banana milk to make coffee with in the morning. I saw her sweet note afterwards and it made my dinner even better. I'd highly recommend and will come back to get my KFC fix! read more

Wow! Amazing food!! Chicken wings were the best! And the fries are nothing like I've had before- they were coated in some sweet crunchy toasty batter and it worked so well! We enjoyed everything about the food. Wish there's something like this where we live. We'll be sure to come back the next time we visit Vegas again. It's quickly our favorite! The location is a little strange but nothing to worry about it. It looks a bit random and out of place, and the inside looks like an office waiting room maybe? Regardless, the service was great and the food was bomb!! Totally worth checking out! read more

Hands down the best korean fried chicken I have ever had! The wings are organic (as we were told) and very juicy, the skin is crispy and the sauces are sticky and so delicious. We got wings with the spicy yam yam, and soy garlic sauce, snow cheddar sprinkle fries, and the OG chicken sandwich. I can't pick a favorite as everything was so good. The slaw for the chicken sandwich is everything! Don't let the outside scare you off! It's a shared space with different kitchens inside. Definitely order ahead as the wait is a bit long depending on what you order. But it's definitely worth it. The owners came out after I called their number and they explained how to order through their website. We talked to two of them and they were both the nicest people ever who clearly take pride in what they do. 10/10 read more

I'm definitely going to have to rave about this place.. this chicken sandwich is like no other chicken sandwich ... perfect ratio to every SINGLE bite. Egg salad, pickle crunch, chicken crack in your mouth all the way to the last bite and lick your finger good! Also ordered the wings and fries... one word "SUPERB". This is a must on my list when visiting Las Vegas. Thank me later. read more

The OG wings are incredible and very delicious. Even when they're plain, they have great flavor. The house sauce is quite impressive--it's similar to spicy mayo but in liquid form. However, the wait time was longer than I expected; my pick-up time was 6:30 PM, but my order wasn't ready until 6:45 PM. Overall, the food is excellent, though it is on the pricier side. read more

It is a ghost bar restaurant with different restaurants in one building. Everything was good but those cheddar French fries what's fire I will be ordering again.. Thank you read more

Honestly, we were unsure at first. A little high side on the pricing, some weird mixes. For instance, the Specialty Chicken Sandwich I opted for just seemed... weird. Egg salad, coleslaw, pickled cucumbers? And a lot of the sauces we weren't sure of, like "Saucy Sauce" or "House Sauce". We just realized we're pretty white-bred people, because this place is freaking amazing! The sandwich was probably the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The mix of the egg salad, sauces, coleslaw... and oh man, those pickled cucumbers... not pickles, but pickled cucumbers... just perfect a perfect mix. The mac salad was different, but in a good way. The coleslaw to me wasn't traditional coleslaw, but really good nonetheless. The sauce was awesome-sauce... I don't know which one it was, but it was amazing. The portions were pretty good too! My sandwich was way bigger than what the picture showed, and they gave me a healthy helping of mozz sticks (which were awesomely seasoned). Long story short (too late), this is now one of our go-to places when we're craving chicken. Most definitely not like traditional, American fried chicken... but super incredible if you're looking for something unique and new! read more

This place was a dump. No napkins, i had to use paper towels from the bathroom. Value for price completely missed the mark.we paid $52 for 20 wings, a side of slaw, and a sprite. None of the sauces were amazing. Sweet and spicy Yam yam sauce was not special. I love trying new places, but this is one I will not recommend. Won't be back. read more

Didn't get a chance to take a photo because we finished off the chicken so quick (edit: my friends got a photo!). Amazing service and probably the best Korean Fried Chicken I've had thus far. Lots of options to choose from too. Wish it was a little more price friendly, but you're paying for quality. read more

The BEST korean fried chicken for my late night cravings! We all know that feeling of wanting something juicy, flavorful, and savory after a couple of drinks, and KIO hits the spot! I got the half and half wings with the KIO original and the flaming buldak flavors and mmmmm they were delicious! The original was crispy and juicy, just as promised, and you can't go wrong with a solid hot gochujang sauce like in their flaming buldak. I also got the honey butter fries to try something a little different, and I absolutely loved them. Something about these sweet and salty fries is so addictive that I'm gonna have to put in another order soon. Thanks for making my trip to Vegas a little bit tastier!! read more

Amazing Korean Fried Chicken and Fries! Their chicken wings aren't over-battered and have such good flavors and they're so juicy and tender! Never had Korean fried chicken like this before and it's now my fave! Their fries are on another level. Perfect textures of crispy exterior and soft and fluffy on the inside. They have a cheese dust that they coat the fries in that reminds me of the shaka shaka fries that McDonald's in Japan serve. So addicting! This is my new fave late night spot. There's no dining in as this is out of the ghost kitchen so it's pick up or delivery only. The owner/chef is super friendly and gave us a couple freebie items to try out! read more

Favorite flavor was the honey butter. We got six different flavors, all great, but honey butter was sooooo bomb. Great customer service. Coming back here again. It is a ghost kitchen so keep that in mind. Hopefully it can grow into its own store front. I'll help make that possible with my next order of honey butter wings. read more

It really wasn't very good. As far as the space and the ambiance it was zero but that expected it's not a restaurant per say. But what I did expect was great chicken wings. The skin was rubbery the sauces were too sticky and sweet for us and it wasn't anywhere near cheap. read more

KIO Korean Fried Chicken - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Literally the best wings I've ever had!!! After going gluten free recently it's been hard finding options. You either have to go without eating an entire type of food or the flavor lacks and it's just not the same.. and these wings are sooooo much better than any other thing I've tried gluten free or not. I called ahead and the chef was so kind. She assured me she had gluten free options. We ordered 20 wings and a side of fries. They were all so mouth wateringly delicious . We got the two dry rubs cause those were the GF ones and I'm craving more now just writing this review. The Chef was so helpful and patient. My man and I both have lots of dietary restrictions and allergies (nuts, soy, gluten, sesame to name a few) so i appreciate her extra care and attention. If you order some also consider calling ahead to let her know cause it does take extra time to prepare a whole other new batch with the GF batter she uses. The fries were battered and crispy. The wings were amazing and not overly crunchy which is how I like them. I don't like to feel like I'm fighting the chicken lol. They were perfectly cooked and moist while crunchy & crispy. Best part is I didn't feel like crap after. That's how I can tell she uses only the best ingredients. She mentioned using organic chicken. So it's a bit pricey but so so so worth every every penny read more

Just so fucking good lmaoo TRY IT the mochi cheese balls are the best I've ever had. I also ordered the honey flavored wings, they're BOMB! And I mostly saw people comment on the signature fries, and yes, they are amazing. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Take out only but had a small waiting area and the food was super yummy and crunchy even through a drive home. Would recommend!

Was out late last night after 3 am and me and my husband thought we'd end up having to settle for drive thru fast food on the way home like usual, but we did a search in the area and saw this place open until 4 am. Its easy to drive right pass this place because of the location. We opted for take out delivered to our car because it was already 340 am. Service was super quick,...they even through in some extras to our order. Highly recommend the buldak flavor and the soy garlic was great as well. read more

After spending hours at Area 15 this was one of the few places open at a little before 2 AM. I ordered the 10 piece half and half Yam Yam Spicy and the Snow Cheddar wings. I also got some regular fries and a side of ranch. We did have to wait 30 mins but there were people before us so we understand. However the sweet lady who brought out our food threw in some honey fries and a sprite for the wait. The chicken was juicy and a ratio of breading and chicken. The Yam Yam Spicy was a perfect spicy not too mild not too hot! I would definitely come back! read more

Great wings - I wanted to leave a review on my deliver app site, but somehow I couldn't.. So, I came here to thank them. Awesome KFC.
