    KIO honey butter, soy garlic, and O.G. wings / French Fries / Mochi Cheese Ball Doughnuts
    Angelica L.

    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!

    KIO Secret Sweet Yam Yam Wings

    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!

    OG chicken sandwich and the best sandwich ever
    Margoux M.

    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.

    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.

    Buldak Spicy flavor. Hotter than you expect!
    Fernando S.

    These wings have such exceptionally unreal flavor that I worry my entire dinner was just a heat-induced fever dream. Flavor Country.~ Honey Butter is tops! Delivery under an hour and they threw in free fries and kimchi, to boot. ‍‍

    Sweet note from the owner
    Jannet L.

    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!

    The place to get fried chicken.
    Tu L.

    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!

    KIO Honey Butter Wings, KIO Savory Soy Garlic Wings, KIO Secret Spicy Yam Yam Wings, KIO Flamin Buldak Wings

    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.

    I'm a shut-in. Don't drive, work from home and try my very best not to leave my house at all costs…read more Found this delivery service yesterday and Omgg ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS after all these years. Ordering and delivery was seamless and saved me money, time and energy instead of having to leave the house, catch multiple Ubers to go to separate places to get my beer and cigarettes, carry my 2wk beer supply up and down my 2 story, etc. Godsend. all I can say. Period.

    My friend is celebrating her birthday in Vegas. Like others she has had a rough year. I contacted…read morethis business because I wanted to surprise her. I loved the ease of the transaction. Once I initiated contact through Yelp, I was sent a text message. I explained that I wanted 10 balloons in different variations of pink(particularly hot pink since that is her favorite color) and six pink cupcakes (photos attached). I also specifically said that I wanted the items delivered at 6:30 PM. We agreed, and I was quoted delivery, gratuity ($50), and $52 for the cupcakes and balloons, for a total of $102. I actually don't have a problem with the delivery or gratuity charge. I'm paying for convenience and execution--and those charges were transparent. Execution is where the process fell short. (1) The delivery person called my friend at 11AM. Huh? That wasn't part of the plan and ruined the surprise element. That's not why I shared her number. (2) The items were left on the doorstep at 4 PM; we agreed to 6:30 PM?!! (3) I was never sent a confirmation. (4) I finally had to (tackily) ask my friend if she received the items and asked if she would send me photos (because now I was suspicious). The cupcakes are cute, but do not look like they could've cost $3.67 each ($22 total). The balloons did not have hot pink at all, and I'm pretty sure they came from the dollar store, so $11 with tax, not $30. I would've still paid the delivery and gratuity, just don't upcharge me. I was working from trust, and I'm deeply disappointed. If/when you use this service, either make sure you know exactly how much your item costs or ask for an itemized receipt before you use this service. I was hoping to lean on their familiarity with the area--you shouldn't. Additionally, just know that you won't get a confirmation of delivery of your items and the items may not be delivered as agreed. ****UPDATE**** Please see the owner's response below. I appreciate the detailed response (albeit after my review, otherwise, I would not have known anyone of this from the business) and only wish all of this would have been communicated to me (prior and during)--the change in delivery time, the itemized cost, including where the items were purchased from. Had I received any of the info written in the owner's response I wouldn't have been surprised, and would've known what I paid for. Instead, I got that info from my friend, the recipient. I even waited two days after before writing my review. No confirmation. You can see in my initial review that I NEVER say, "don't do business with this company," only to verify the aforementioned. I'll reiterate the ease of the transaction was great; the process would've been improved with providing the now listed details below (including where the the items came from and cost, and change of delivery time). An actual receipt for the items I paid for, but trusted the business to purchase would've been even better. This wouldn't be necessary if I knew where I was buying from and the cost prior. Calling so the receiver is not alarmed makes sense, but I still don't understand renegotiating the time I originally set; still it's a small detail and if it worked for everyone, great! I have updated my rating.

The oxtail soup was really good: the broth seemed like it has a good amount of shoyu in it (it was dark), and had really nice beef flavor. There were also some shiitake mushrooms, which added to the umami, and fresh cilantro which, paired with the grated ginger, really complemented the savory elements. The oxtails were super tender and plentiful. The meat was well seasoned and fell off the bone. I've eaten a lot of oxtail soup, and this was really good. The limu poke was also solid. The limu was a nice touch: it's not as frequent to see it on the mainland, and I like the smoky flavor it imparts on the poke. The taro turnover was a revelation. It was so good it didn't make it to photos. The pastry crust was flakey, the taro was warm and sweet, and the Carmel drizzle was really nice. It does take 20 minutes to get the turnover, but I think it's worth it.
