Used to be a regular at bazix. But now the servers here are disgusting. Rude and gives you an attitude especially the female waitresses (especially the one with the brown, crooked teeth) Sorry i'm calling you out!
She charged me and my friends for everything without even telling us. And talks back rudely to us and yelled. WOWW.. She got lucky we tipped her $2. Food is over rated here and wayy overpriced. It's even empty here now on the weekends (when it used to be packed). It's EMPTY HERE NOW. Only old folks come and eat and talk. That's telling you something. Theres a reason why people don't come here anymore!
I went here with a friend after our post-lecture dinner for some drinks. Â We got the yogurt soju and between the two of us, we finished 3 bottles. Â We skipped the food part as we were still full.
The atmosphere was great. Â The music wasn't blaring so my friend and I actually got to chat. Â Service was good. Â
By our fourth bottle, I had to call for some reinforcement and DD. Â A great time was had and I can't wait to take my other friends here sometime next week to celebrate their birthday.
Finally I have time to review this restaurant after I've been there like 5 times already. The reason I go there because I love their fish roe soup. I always get the hot pot one and my bf loves their special omelet. The food is good. The price is a little bit high but their potions are good for the price. Why not 5 stars?! Because the food takes soooooo long. I have no idea why 3 dishes took for 30-40 mins to prepare or maybe they only have 1 chef and the service is slow. Everybody seems so nice and polite tho. I'll go back for sure but its be perfect if the food comes out faster.
Review Source:So after midnight me and Ife walk in here. There ain't no seats open so the host guy tells us that we have to wait approximately 5 minutes. I was like "NO F*CKING WAY! 5 minutes? I don't got the patience for that!". So we walk up to this random Korean couple and nicely told them to "get the f*ck out or I will knock the kimchee out of your f*cking mouth!" Even though the chick at the table quickly got up and ran out the door, Ife still thought it was a good idea to punch her in this face and poor her Soju all over her head. So, with that problem out of the way we got a pretty good seat. We got into another fight with the staff when it literally took like 2 whole minutes for our server to get to us. Â What kind of slow ass service is that? Obviously, the server didn't know he was dealing with very wealthy and sophisticated people here. We told him to do the Gangnam Style dance or we wouldn't tip him. Eventually I waved a $1 bill in front of his face and he gave in and started dancing. Just to be nice, I threw his tip off the balcony where he ran for it, down the stairs, as fast as he could. Unfortunately, the Chinese girls at Shuseki had already gotten to it before he could get down there. Seeing how i'm one of those people who love to drink and get wasted, I ordered like 3 bottles of that Orange Soju stuff. At the end of the night, the service was still so bad that we did not pay the check and just walked out. In the parking lot, I decided to use my skillful "womanizing" techniques on Ife and I was like: "Hey bitch! I am totally good at the sex and gonna like totally do the sexing on you!" That line usually works on every chick at Lewis Family Park, and I just don't understand why it didn't work on her. She gave me a beating that was worse than anything I had experienced during my boxing days. While I was completely lifeless on the floor, she took my keys and drove off in the 1992 honda civic that my dad bought me for my 25th birthday. As I was laying on the cold asphalt of the parking lot, I had started crying because I realized my pokemon card collection was still in the backseat, and also I was Forever Alone...
None of that story above happened.
The real story was that due to the superbowl crowd and all the other sh!t going on Saturday night in Las Vegas, we literally were having a disasterific night and just needed a place to hang out. I hadn't slept in 3 days, and was so incoherent and zombified. The conversations I was having with Ife were so awkward and strange. My words were slurring and my personality was totally loserific. We found Bazic because of a review that Tien had written. Ife loves K-pop and Korean culture so we thought it might be a fun place to hang out. When we walked in, no one assumed I was Korean. I took too much after my Japanese side, and none of the servers in a million years thought I was even 1% Korean. Our server was actually really great, and I tipped quite a bit. Ife ordered this giant bottle of Orange Soju which didn't even come close to getting her buzzed, while all the other people in the club who ordered it were totally on the floor, puking their brains out. Ife is so f*cking rad! She can literally outdrink the country of Ireland. I on the other hand, being Straight Edge was sitting there and thinking to myself "I wish I had a coke". And then suddenly the server brought me one of those fancy ass cokes from the metal bottle. It was the happiest day of my life. Overall, it was a really great experience! Next time I'm gonna rent one of those Karoake things and invite all my yelp friends. Â Can't wait to hang out with Ife again, we are going to that Commonworld(spelling ?) UYE event on Wednesday. So, if you are one of those business owners or yelpers who hate me, this is your opportunity to finally get me. You'll know me when you see me, I'm always the hottest guy in the room.
Do they get shut down every other month for serving alcohol to minors? It feels like it.
Ate at the restaurant ONCE in my lifetime but been to the karaoke rooms a ton! FUN, FUN, FUN! With your private karaoke room, you can also order food and drinks. Just hit that black button at the door.
Service, eh. Price, cheap enough. GREAT for groups.
Bazic
It's a typical Korean karoake/lounge/full bar/restaurant that serves plenty of alcohol and food. Â Their spicy fried chicken is the BOMB and it beats KFC, Popeyes, and Churchs chicken in quality and taste. Â Alot of fond memories here, too bad the last time I went it was dead, and this was on a Friday night so perhaps this place has lost its popularity.
When we found out that our #1 late night sober joint was closing at 3am, we turned to Bazic, a Korean Bar with Karaoke. Â But it wasn't the bar or the karaoke that we came here for. Â It was for their specialty food which was Korean fried chicken.
I love me some KFC, no, not the colonel Kentucky, the Korean Gangnam-style. Â They offered various flavors and sizes. Â You can do the regular legs and thighs or wings. Â Either way you are going to need a wheel chair at the end to roll back to your car.
The wings sort of remind you of Hooter's. Â It was thick and super crispy. Â We ordered the classic Korean spice, garlic, and some other thing and all tasted very nice. Â Will be sure to fill you up! Â The seafood pancake was crispy and good. Â I never got to try their leg and thighs but my friends seemed to enjoyed them.
Perhaps next time, we'll try their Karaoke. Â But for now, if you are craving K-wings and thighs, definitely stop by here. Â And best of all they are open past 3am.
Came here for a birthday dinner and after we ended in one of the private karaoke rooms.  First, dinner.  I ordered the Korean fried chicken and it was good but it was just fried chicken so I don't get what all the hype is about.  However, the sauce that came with it was excellent .  The drinks ordered for the table were interesting in their presentation, the towering beer, the drinks in hollowed out melon, etc.  Not sure if  all nights end in Bazic turning into a club but that's what happened the night I was there.     We had a large party and service was great.
Review Source:I went on a Friday night at 1130pm and first thought was, "Wow, place is chill, there a bar and dining area and karaoke." Let's get to the point we came for the Korean Style Chicken Deep Fried Wings. I can say its pretty pricey for 8 wings for $9.99 BUT the wings are well worth it and it takes 15 minute before your order will arrived! But let me tell you wings are BOMB with a sweet and spicy sauce savored over the wings aww heaven =) They also have beer pong you gotta see it for yourself and Soulju in fresh cut pineapple! I love this place!
Review Source:To say the least, Bazic is a quirkly karaoke bar and restaurant. Â To start, my friend and I had an argument on the name of the place. Â Is it Bazic or is Basic with a backwards "s"? Â We saw both ways of the spelling everywhere in the place. Â Finally, I asked the harajuku dressed waitress what it was called and she said.....Bazic. Â Now that we know that the name is, Bazic....what does Basic mean?! Â
The waitress led us to the back of the bar/restaurant to the rooms where they had the private karaoke sessions. Â We started off with ordering drinks and food. Â Our group of 6 had thought that getting the huge self serve beer tower would be the best bang for our buck. Â Can't remember the price but, it wasn't crazy expensive. Â The food on the other hand wasn't the greatest. Â Some of the food on the menu wasn't available which sucked because based off of the reviews on Yelp it looked delicious. Â We ended up getting French fries and these deep fried chicken niblets that were coated in Korean sauce. Â Luckily I was a little tipsy and more into the singing but, the fries were okay and the niblets could have been better if they didn't come to us cold.
 But, I can't knock the service.  There was a bell we can ring on the door whenever we needed something and the wait was never to long.  As for the song selection it was up to par.  Usually found what we wanted but, I'd say half of the song selection was written in Korean and the other half was English which was limiting.  Oh yeah, the tambourine!  For those that maybe shy to sing, they have a tambourine that looked like it was from the Electronic Daisy Carnival.  More cow.....Tambourine? Â
The bath rooms were really funny.  The men's bathroom walls were painted with skanky  anime chicks that were half naked.  Eh, can't hate that.  My wife had said that the woman's bathrooms had the same but male cartoons. Â
Overall, the night was quirky and super fun, especially after having a bunch to drink. Â We ended up with a pretty high bill and for that reason I'll give this place 3 stars. Â I'm really glad we went but, I felt the food wasn't very good and was overpriced.
my friends took me here for the 1st time! Well, we were early and it was dead, but hey we get all the attention for service. Â The servers had a cute outfit, but not sure if it was her own or their uniform. Â
Prices were not bad. Â The orang wang (fried chicken with some sort of orange sauce) it was good, but especially for those that like them spicy! Â I liked the bbq? wangs. Â It was extra crispy and their wings are FAT. Â Not like buffalo wild wings. Â
Watermelon soju was yum! Â Soup out yo drink out of the watermelon. Thats fun. Â We had the mango, yogurt, lychee sojus! Â I'm not big on sweet drinks. Â They were all sweet. Â Yogurt and lychee were my favorite. Â Kim chee fried rice was awesome. Â Lots of kim chee with a good spice and a fried egg on top. YUM. Â Pork katsu platter was of course huge. Â They had cheese katsu in it. Â Different. Â I liked it.
Surely I'll need to visit this place LATE NIGHT/after clubbing since this is what they are known for. Â Definitely I'll be back.
I think I just wasn't feeling it with the karaoke that night - shocking as that may be. Â It may be because I overheated out on Fremont St. earlier or that I had worn myself out running around too much during the day, but I only got up to sing twice. Â I didn't try any of the food, so the two best things about Bazic were the cheap, CHEAP prices and the incredibly nice staff. Â The book was thin on the English songs, and as noted, almost everything is in Korean, including the controls. Â I didn't notice the "art" in the bathroom, but given the descriptions, I'm thankful for that.
Review Source:I'm a spoiled brat. Yes, it's true - every karaoke joint with room rentals will forever and ever be held against the standard of Rock Box (in Seattle), my one true karaoke love. So Bazic (Basic? It's just a backwards 's'.) does tend to suffer by comparison. But let's start with the great things!
1. Big private rooms with cushy couches. Super comfortable.
2. A call button so you can get a server when you feel like ordering anything, which is extremely convenient, if a little upstairs/downstairs.
3. CRACK CHICKEN. Ugh, the "pure chicken" (boneless popcorn chicken, essentially) was so good. Both the plain and the deri-q (sweet bbq) were delicious whether dipped in the sweet chili or gochujang or eaten alone. I could not stop eating it, I swear to god I tried about four times before I gave up and embraced my pigginess.
4. Cheap. Not sure how it's so cheap, but it is SO CHEAP.
5. The people running the joint are enormously kind. Very friendly, very sweet, even calling us some oddly cheap flat-rate cabs at the end of the night.
And now, the not so great things.
1. Everything is in Korean, which for our non-Korean speaking group was a touch difficult. We weren't sure how to work the controls, how to queue up songs, how to fix the earsplitting volume...although with a little help from the staff we did mostly get there in the end.
2. The books have only tiny slivers in English, and they're sorted by song title, which makes it much harder to find something in the already limited selection.
3. Don't know what was up with our mics, but they never responded to the controls, so the feedback did prompt some shrieks and some cowering in the corner of the couch.
4. The bulgy leering characters painted in the ladies' room were, frankly, frightening.
Anyway, Bazic is a very solid karaoke joint. If it weren't for Rock Box I'd probably judge them a 4, even, but what can I say? I'm spoiled for life.
Korean Karaoke Matriculation:
Rooms:
Private and slightly worn karaoke suites with squishy couches, large tables, flat screen tv's and yes -- even disco balls and neon lights for your tune-belting pleasure.
4 stars
Bathrooms:
While the men enjoyed their sexy boobied ladees, the women's room was on the creepster-voyeur-omg im calling the police-sort of animoo men watching you side of things. I don't like cartoons watching me pee. Creepy. Plus it was a little yucky in there.
2 Stars
Music Selection:
This is a Korean karaoke bar, but it advertised english songs. There was no English song book -- just 5-6 pages of U.S tunes crammed in the middle of a lot of other foreign languages (I saw Korean, Tagalog, and Japanese). Felt very much  like an after thought. Most of my karaoke stand by's were not present -- but lots of heavy metal and Radiohead tunes to rock out to.
3 Stars
Food and Drink:
Two words:
CRACK. CHICKEN.
5 stars
Technology:
Again, all the controls were in Korean so it took a good 30 min before we could put a song on, and another 15 min before we figured out how the queue worked. We also could not turn down the song or mic volume -- so major ear aches and feedback problems were had.
2 stars
Pricing:
I still don't understand how it works, but I paid $10 for several hours of crooning.
3 stars
Service:
The people working here were SO nice. Filling drink orders, trying to help us with our equipment, and even calling us cheap-as-dirt cabs to get back to our hotels at the end of the night. Good people.
4 stars
Average: 3.28 stars rounded down for some serious eats, some loud tunes, and really creepy bathrooms.
Vegas Yelp UYE Karaoke Extravaganza!
SITREP
What a good time it was at Bazic Bar & Restroyaky. Â After the wonderful Fremont Street Experience, we knew there would be some Yelping madness we would want to engage in after Midnight. Â But after that crazy fantastic time, we indeed wondered if we would have any "juice" left to manage this task as we planned to attack the early morning (Midnight - 3AM) with renewed vigor!!
SETUP
Organized by our very own Seattle Yelper Clover A., this proved to be a good location to have a "meet-up" with Yelpers from different cities. Â [First we had to get there! Â LIMO RIDE: Â While at Fremont Street Experience, we went by the Golden Nugget, and there was a bored limo driver who looked at our crazy group and decided then and there that he wanted to be part of our madness. Â We had to get to Bazic QUICK for set-up, and so we negotiated with him, and he shot us over to our Korean Karaoke Bar destination in no time.]
BAZIC ROOMS
If you are familiar with the Rock Box in Seattle or Rurulala in Sacramento, it is a very similar set-up. Â Big rooms. Â Nice physical plant layout of couches and sectionals. Â Good serviceable equipment. Â It had the potential to be Karaoke at it's very best. Â
KARAOKE BOOKS & EQUIPMENT
However, the books were JUST in Korean! Â There were some English-language inserted pages, but that was an obvious afterthought. Â In addition, we were somewhat limited in our selections it would have appeared, but we did manage (for the most part) with those selection of English-language songs in the narrow band of yellow and green pages. Â
And then there was the tech itself - such as the controls - which was all overlaid in Korean language and no English to be found. Â Made it difficult for us to read the stereo & equipment controls and it did become a nuisance to have one of the guys come and adjust/modify sound levels, feedback, distortion-issues whenever they did arise instead of being able to take care of the issue ourselves.
MY PERSONAL FAVES
I got to belt out my Def Leppard and Linkin Park Standards, so I was dam happy. Â I even smoothed out the end of the evening (er, morning) with the Beatles "Michelle", so it was all good.
THE FOOD & DRINK
There was an ample supply of all kinds of chicken appetizers, beer and sake to keep our energy up, so no complaints in this department. Â There were also some sweet-potato fries which were powdered with sugar so that they were sweet, and not savory the way I prefer them. Â Ah well. Â I still ate them and enjoyed them because I haven't met a sweet potato fry I do not like.
PRICING
Interesting to say the least: Â unlike the Karaoke I hit in Sacramento, San Francisco, and Seattle, this establishment has a sliding-mechanism that takes into account the consumables factor. Â If it was just Karaoke, the room rental was $40 per hour. Â However, if we consumed more than $100 in drinks & food, then the room rental would go down to $20 per hour. Â Since there was a group of about 14 of us, and we were there from 11am to 3am, we made sure to get more than $100 in consumables that we would probably have gotten anyways, but Clover and I did buy drinks at the end to "get us over" that last bump to $100 so we could default the hourly rate down to $20 an hour. Â [Note to self: Â I HATE doing math when I'm trying to concentrate on singing!]
KARAOKE CABBIES!
Now this was different: it was 3AM at the end of our stint, so this place does something interesting for it's customers - the servers / chefs double as cabbies! Â SERIOUSLY! Â Since we are "quite a way into" Chinatown-Vegas, it would take a while to get a cab out there. Â However, two of the establishments associates got two vehicles: Â one to take part of our group back to PLATINUM, and another to take my group back to STRATOSPHERE. Â A total win!
THE LOWDOWN
All-in-all, a good experience. Â I don't like to nit-pick the little things, and also have great respect for cultural traditions and cultural business-choices.
HOWEVER, given this establishment wants to do business with a mainstream English-speaking demographic (it's in Vegas, USA, after all), and given that one could reasonably expect that there would be a preference for more mainstream English-language music by a significant customer base of English-speakers, I'm just saying it would be prudent (as a BUSINESS owner or BUSINESS manager, etc.) to make sure to supply better books and readable tech that is readible in English. Â
If on the other hand, the point is to discourage English-speaking patrons from coming here to enjoy Karaoke, then don't change a thing. Â Frustrated customers just won't return. Â However, we hardcore Karaokers will find a way to manage, even if a bit more grumpily.
All-in-all, a 3-STAR experience. Â However, I'll be honest & say I am bumping it up to 4 STARS because of the courtesy the gentlemen showed us in getting us back to our hotels at the end of a lonnnnng night in the weeeee hours of the morning.
Happen to be visiting Vegas?
Looking for a good place to eat off the strip?
Craving some awesome fried chicken?
How about Korean food, but don't want to smell like KBBQ after an awesome meal?
Bazic is thee place to go!
I've been here a few times back when I used to go to Vegas every month back in the day. Â They're known for their fried chicken. It's pretty good - beats KFC or any fast food place with fried chicken! Â
They also have a karaoke room which is convenient for those who are into it. Â From what I can recall, service was always good, the staff were always friendly/chill.
I recommend this place to anyone who happens to be in town. :)
I'd like to go back and see if anything's changed :p
As the stars state.. I've had better. Much better. I know Bazic is also about karaoke and whatnot but the food has to have some semblance of 'good' as it is a restaurant as well ...this was not the case on my recent and most likely last visit. We ordered fried chicken wings, sauteed gizzards and bulgogi.
The chicken wings were good enough, fried and battered, ok sauce. Crispy and I can see why people always say how awesome it is. Not overcooked, not over-battered.. just right. Basic, if you will.
The gizzards - Â were not good. I have grown up with a style or two of gizzard dishes ..and these were simply over cooked and not flavorful. Dry and seasoned sooo spicy that it wasn't enjoyable. I love spice, Korean spiced food and peppers in my food. These were not good at all. It was just little pieces of meat overcooked and overly seasoned to the point of nearly inedible.
As for the Bulgogi.. Ok Bulgogi is marinated meats, beef usually in my experience.. and often has a nice flavorful finish of sesame and a bit of black pepper. It's usually a crowd-pleas'r. Good  and flavorful, marinated and then grilled is usually the setup.  This particular version we had was waaay over cooked and dry. Its supposed to be marinated beef, and it was really bland and dry.
Never again. When we mentioned it to the server, she said it looked over-cooked.. though she was the one that brought it to the table. The saving element was the beer. Good cold beer, even in Winter is a good thing.
So It's a shame, because I had heard so many thing that were good about this place. Maybe next time, maybe if I am brought there for the chicken and singing only :) Happy Eating!
If you long for the days of music done on a Casio and really like rocking out to Slayer, CCR, Radiohead, KORN, and a slathering of other random mixes this place is for you. If you hope to learn proper words to songs via the karaoke prompts, get annoyed by random mismatched Asian videos playing behind your rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence", this place is not for you.
What this place provided was a smoke free, belly busing laughing good time after a giant dinner on my 40th birthday. It is a place that was recommended by the hotel's concierge and though we had nothing to eat, they did provide a menu and a few of us ordered cocktails and beer. No Kirin (this is a Korean not Japanese establishment) but they did have Sapporo.
The jokes were flying, the music was awful but we had a great time and I might do something like this again but now I know what to and what not to expect.
Fairly cheap entertainment and thankfully, some of my girlfriends and I were able to bust out some old rap songs we remembered from the 80's and could sing acapella so we could get away from the Casio beats.
Food's pricey & the men's bathroom is run down (the paper towel dispenser fell off the wall). Â I like their fried chicken but my buddy wasn't impressed. Â Don't bother with the shrimp fried rice which has the shrimp the size of krill.
At least the waitresses are friendly & your table having a buzzer button to call for a waitress is handy.
I don't eat here often, but I go here a lot to use their private karaoke rooms.
I love to karaoke, it can be a really fun and cheap thing to do with your friends. Bazic is my go to spot when I need a private karaoke rooms. The service is usually pretty good. Each room has a little button that you press and the waitress comes in pretty quickly and takes care of what you need. Their songs are pretty up to date too. Every time I go, I find a lot of the popular hits on the radio.
I've had a couple of their dishes. Their clam soup, fried chicken, and cheese & corn. All three are decent enough, that I keep ordering them if I'm hungry while karaokeing, except for the cheese and corn. I just got introduced to that last time I was there. VERY DELICIOUS. Great food if you're drinking !!
I was also duped by the BBQ Chicken logo....it's the same logo used by the BBQ Korean Fried Chicken place in Irvine, CA. Â Not the Korean fried chicken I was hoping for but the chicken skin is as crispy as it's going to get in Vegas and the meat is moist. Â I've been spoiled by Bon Chon and UFC on the east coast....so it doesn't quite compare, but it will meet my chicken cravings until I can escape to another city. Â They have two flavors of their fried chicken...the spicy sauce version and the regular fried chicken. Â Obviously the spicy sauce makes the skin a little less crisp...so I would say go with the original. Â The rest of the korean food is pretty typical (Korean seafood pancake, spicy rice rolls, etc). Â
So in terms of fried chicken, good for Vegas...not so good if you're coming from Cali or east coast.
Sounds like someone strangling a chicken back there!
Oh, don't worry, I don't think their fried chicken is THAT fresh, it's just me singing karaoke in one of the back rooms. Â Yes, I openly acknowledge that my singing sucks and has been compared to a menagerie of croaking critters and not just fowl (ha, ha...ok, bad joke). Â
This review is ONLY for the karaoke rooms and drinks, NOT the food. Â
With that in mind, let me say I'm thoroughly disappointed in this place. Â I love the vibe and setup of the rooms. Â Two flat screen tvs, pretty sweet system setup and comfy sofas just make the space really inviting. Â However, on two separate visits, the sound just wasn't right: the first time we had trouble with one of the mics and the second time the echo was on overdrive. Â Both times we asked for help and both times were told there's nothing that could be done. Â Really? Â This is a business, right? Â Unless I'm mistaken, businesses usually try to please their customers. Â They really need to have someone on site that can tweak these little problems before a customer tries to do it and breaks the whole system. Â
The drink menu is well-sized, with a nice selection of mixed drinks and beers. Â While they didn't have some of the alcohol or mixers that I'm used to ordering, the soju options made up for it...at least I tried something new, eh? Â Unfortunately, unless I can be assured that the minor problems with the sound systems are fixed, I can't say that I will be back to try something else new. Â At least that will give me some time to work on my pipes so people won't think the livestock is being killed off in back.
Whenever I think of karaoke, I think of Bazic. Â Yes, it's first on my consideration set for those of you familiar with marketing vernacular. Â Bazic is probably one of the few karaoke bars I can stand in Las Vegas. Â After being dragged to almost every single karaoke venue in town by my friends, the number of mediocre to just plain awful karaoke rooms I've been to has been mind-blowing. Â Fortunately, Bazic has six rooms with flat screen TVs, great sound systems, and a good variety of songs. Â It almost makes a three-hour karaoke session tolerable.
For those of you who don't give a booty for karaoke, Bazic has some great food as well. During the last few years I've been to Bazic, I only recently tried their food. Â I knew for a fact that the fried chicken was their famous dish, but I wanted to try something different. Â I looked at their selections and ordered the squid salad instead. Â It was actually very good, and tasted almost exactly how it does back at the homeland. Â I would say the fried chicken is a "safe" order, but if you want to try something a little more experiential, ask the waitress for a recommendation. Â My classmate asked about the seafood pancake, the waitress informed her, and she really enjoyed it.
I know Bazic is famous for their fried chicken, but I think there's other great dishes that flies under the radar. Â There's some great bar food available on their menu that you can find rarely outside of Korea, at least in the same style and setting. Â The full order of the squid salad is perfect for sharing with friends while enjoying a nice beer. Â If you ever decide to go, don't lean too much on the fried chicken. Â Try a new dish! You may like it.
I don't like karaoke bars...period!
But this bar has a full menu and bar...which was appealing at first. However, when I sat down and ordered a Manhattan, the waitress looked at me like I was an idiot. Seriously, a Manhattan?
Ended up having a tower of beer (which I never do)...but for those of you into that, yes you can order a 5L tower of beer. I had the Boston Lager, which is a solid Sam Adams beer...but 5L between three people means you are drinking a lot of beer, and honestly I like variety if I am going to pound the brewskies.
The bathrooms were...interesting. I am not sure what the women's room looked like, but there were naked cartoon girls in the men's room. I guess this means no children allowed.
The location off the strip means there are fewer tourists to deal with...which is great. However, I wouldn't visit this establishment again unless I was dragged there...oh, like i was this time!
The best Korean bar I've been to. And I'm from Hawaii...there are a million bajillion K-bars in Hawaii.
This place has fried chicken the size of a grown man's fists. I have no clue where they get their drumsticks. An order has 5 pieces and my friend and I were like, "wow, how are we gonna finish that?"
My favorite is their orange chicken. Same size as their fried chicken but, with a spicy orange chicken taste. Imagine Panda Express' orange chicken but, when you eat it your lips burn from the spiciness of it. YUM!
(I dream of it sometimes..it's that good!)
They had endless flavors of soju - lychee, strawberry, yogurt. The bottle sizes are RIDICULOUSLY huge and cost only $11. My favorite is the lychee!
They also have those "yardsticks" or whatever that hold beer like the one's from Yardhouse. But, they are bigger than the one's at Yardhouse.
If you're done eating they, also, have karaoke rooms in the back. They are open til 4a.m =)
All this talk about fried chicken at Bazic had had me curious for quite a while. Â They were supposed to have awesome chicken, but then they closed. Â But then they re-opened! Â Sadly, I finally made my way down here and ended up disappointed. Â The chicken was made out to be their star dish, but it didn't deliver. Â I had a regular version and a slightly spicy version, and both were covered in a thick breading that housed some flavorless chicken. Â Portions are big, but the chicken...where did all the flavor of the chicken go? Â I've had better chicken at KFC before!
Other dishes were ordered within my party but I only tried the chicken. Â Based on that alone I'm not sure if I will be coming back though.
I'd like to meet the person who decorated the men's room...
Pure drinking establishment With lots of drinking.
Fried chicken is flaky and juicy on the inside. Not sure if it was the frying but the wings and drumlets looked huge.
Kimchi tofu and kimchi rice were REALLY good especially the kimchi tofu. Who knew stir frying kimchi and serving it warm would taste so friggin good.
Now the booze. Flavored sojus were large in size and were quite tasty. The beers...Where to start with the beers...
640ml bottles of korean beer (Cass & Hite) were 7 dollars i think. I prefer OB but given the choices Hite is more to my liking. They also had japanese Asahi as well as an American Sam Adams.
The best bang for your buck has to be the 5000cc super big dispenser thing that comes with free 5 piece of chicken.
All and All quite a nice establishment for chicken and beer.
For those who want to try out the chicken it's best to come early before the party crowd show up so it's a bit less rowdy.
I was craving some fried chicken and I knew this place would be open late. Â Arrived around 11 pm and the place was empty. Â Lots of loud music, laser lights, korean music videos on projection screen and ESPN on several flat screens. Â This place is definitely a drinking establishment and that should have been my first warning.
I didn't feel like fighting with bones, tendons, and ligaments so I ordered the "Dari-Q Chicken nuggets" and since it was a cold night, I added an order of kim-chi oden.
The chicken nuggets were more like chicken fragments, but there were a lot of them for the $9.95 order. Â The dari-q flavor was pretty good though, mildly garlic, soy sauce, and sweet. Â The coating on the frgaments was very crispy and dry, the meat itself was also very dry like they had been left in the fryer too long. Â A small order of pickled daikon also came with the chicken. Â It was very crunchy and cool, but too sweet. Â The oden was pretty good, no complaints.
Service wasn't bad. Â Even though the waitresses were out of view, they did check on me from time to time. Â Plus there is that cool little bell!
Overall, 2.5 stars, but they do get an extra 0.5 stars for no credit card hassles! Â Also, they have TONS of specials: Â mostly drink specials, but there is an AYCE friend chicken AND beer on Monday nights. Â Also check out the art on the walls of the men's bathroom, interesting to say the least.
I'm bumping BAZIC to 4 stars. Simply for having no credit card hassles!!
Came here a couple weeks ago with my sister, ordered the 8 piece Korean Fried Chicken. Still crispy and yummy! Not greasy like the "Kentucky" or "Louisiana" style. Light, flaky, and juicy fried chicken! The KFC came with two sides (pickled radish & shredded cabbage with creamy dressing). I also ordered a side of steamed white rice and spicy/sweet/sour dipping sauce, both $1.00 each. I must say, the rice and sauce complimented the KFC a whole lot better.
My sister ordered the tempura udon soup. Cooked and served in copper metal sauce pan/bowl. I only tasted a little bit of it. Can't say much except, almost burnt my tongue. Piping hot bowl of soup. It had a bunch of ingredients (see pics):

Food was good and service was better or should i say...[IMPROVED]!!!!
Meh. Another UYE attendee here. I'm being generous and giving 2 stars, but you can pretty much take this place off the menu. I had the "Pure Chicken" in Deri-Q, which was essentially fried chicken nuggets in a teriyaki'ish sauce. They were decent, and while the cost was $9 or $10, at least they gave me a basket full. Unfortunately, that's where the up-sides ended. Service was lame to say the least. The menu wasn't particularly attractive in any way, neither was the atmosphere. Plus a 20 minute travesty at the end because their CC machine didn't work - and they pretty much treated it like it was the patrons' fault!
The only reason I erred on the generous side with 2 stars is because at least, toward the end of the CC debacle, they had the wherewithal to bring us some free fruit desert plates. It was much too little much too late, but a shred of common sense is better than none at all.
I tried to convince some of my friends to go check this place out with me, now I'm glad I didn't.
edit: ugh, wasted my 50th review on this place.
I managed to crash a Vegas UYE while in town. Â As happens quite often the company of Yelpers made the experience better than what it might have been.
While this is basically a Korean place with a full menu the star attraction seems to be the fried chicken with a liter of beer for $16. Â So Angela H and I shared one order and it was more than enough for us. Â It was pretty good chicken and it is hard to screw up a Newcastle. Â It came with a side of cole slaw and some pickled radishes. Â Our serving did not come with the Kimchee that two of the other servings did. Â They must buy their chickens from the same place KFC does as not all the parts were recognizable as normal parts.
The service during the time I was there was pretty good. Â The fiasco with the credit cards was just starting as I left with Bobby being told his card was no good. Â Being a merchant I fully understand machines and networks can go down. Â If you are up front and open about it writing all the info down is a perfectly acceptable way to handle it and I don't know anybody any more that cannot go online the next day to verify they were charged the expected amount. Â From the sounds of it the way it was handled was sorely lacking in the communication department. Â Because it didn't happen to me I did not down grade my review but if I lived in the area I might not be inclined to go back too soon.
2 reasons to visit Bazic
1) Pretty decent specials. 10 pieces of chick and a giant beer for $16. Perfect to get a buzz and have left overs.
2) The bathrooms have killer murals. If you're in the girls room, paintings of dudes. In the mens room, paintings of chicks (not baby chickens). Just don't get caught taking pics of the wall when you're in the guys room. No matter how you try to explain it, you were caught taking pictures in the men's room.
If you do visit, take cash and count your change. I gave the server $40 for a $21 bill and got back $9 dollars in change.
Met up there tonight for the Late Night UYE, while I got there a little after everyone, I have to say I was quite impressed with the place.
I went to college in a small town in kansas, the small town didn't have much, but it did have 4 amazing chicken restaurants, 2 of them have been featured on the Travel Channel, so it's safe to say, I've eaten some damn good chicken in my day.
I have been on a BBQ quest in town this year, but I am always looking for a good piece of chicken, so far Church's was still winning, but today it took a back seat, and I have to say I was shocked that Bazic was the place that is now the leader in my Chicken Quest.
I know....I'm saying the best fried chicken in vegas, is in a place in the middle of chinatown, and no I'm not smoking crack...the chicken is that good.
Granted it may take a while for them to serve it, (I worked in a deli in college, good fresh fried chicken should take atleast 10mins), but it's worth the wait, and the fact that you can get 10 pieces of chicken and a 32oz beer for $16 is an added bonus.
The chicken comes out hot from the fryer, the meat is moist and juicy, and the breading is crispy and well seasoned. I also was able to try some of their "Pure" chicken (boneless chicken bites) that were tasty, and the fruit and other desserts were pretty good.
They were having an issue with their POS and credit card systems, it was bad timing their part as it may have upset a few yelpers, but the chicken more than made up for it in my books.
My only complaint is that the beers are a little costly, I mean come on 11.50 for a 32oz beer, is a but steep, yet you can get one and 10pcs of chicken for $16 (still not sure how that math works out).
Plus the place is worth a trip just to check out the bathrooms!!!
I know I'll be where I will be going whenever I'm hankering some Chicken and Beer, who would have ever known that the place would be in the middle of Chinatown
Thanks Yelpers for introducing me to this place
Its Monday evening around 9pm and I get a call. I've just gotten home from work and changing out of my work uniform. I get a call from these chicks that I work with and they are going out drinking. Drinking? On a Monday night?! Freak! Apparently, its their "Friday" since they have Tuesdays/Wednesdays off. Sure I answered. I don't start work until noon the next day... So it should be fun.
They chose Bazic, which I have seen many times before but never eaten, so I had no complaints. One of the chicks is Korean so she will know what to order... And they've been there many times before... I arrive there around 10:15ish and the place is pretty crowded. Not standing room only crowded but most of the tables were full. The Korean chick asks if I like beer, and I tell her that I'm not a big fan (due to an incident when I was younger) but will drink hard liquor if we order it. Whats cool is that they have this large beer tube (google it) if you like a lot of beer.
Instead of the beer tube, we just ordered a 40 oz bottle of Hite, which is Korean beer. I've never had this beer before and was pleasantly surprised how clean it tasted. There was absolutely no after taste. Leo likes it! The Korean chick also ordered food for the table and the rest of us just went with it.
We ordered the sliced pigs feet, spicy raw squid, spicy ramen noodles, udon noodles, and two more bottles of Hite beer. The food was amazingly good. To be honest, I personally wouldn't of ordered these dishes if I was ordering, but I'm thankful that the Korean chick knew what she wanted and knew what was good.
Overall we had a good time of eating, drinking, laughing, and drinking... Haha. They actually have Karaoke rooms in the back which you can rent out to get your jam on. Unfortunately, we didnt get a chance to put on a show. Darn. Maybe next time.
Would I come back? Definitely.
Bazic Bar & Restoyaky serves up what I would call Korean bar food. Â It's located on the second floor of the Pacific Asian Plaza. Â They have a bunch of random Asian dishes that are meant to be shared with friends over a few drinks. Â
Their specialty though is their fried chicken deep fried in olive oil! Â As a result, we had to try it! Â We got the Leg and Thigh Special, 5 pieces for $7.95. Â It came with a basic cabbage salad with Thousand Island-like dressing and a side order of pickled daikon. Â The BF is the connoisseur on fried chicken and he thought it was pretty good.
We also got the Sweet Rice Crust Soup with Seafood for $17.99. Â It's good enough for about four people to have a small bowl each. Â The waiter will come with a big bowl of about four to five rectangular pieces of rice crust. Â And then he'll pour the thick soup (more like gravy than broth) onto the rice crust. Â It's filled with octopus, calamari, and veggies. Â Pretty tasty and the rice stays crispy because the soup is so thick. Â (There's a Chinese version called sizzling rice soup, except that soup is more broth-like and the rice may not be in rectangles.)
We didn't get any kind of bowl to grind our own sesame seeds like lena d. or Mike C., so maybe that's only if you order the katsu, which we didn't. Â And we also came for dinner which I think is a different experience too.
I'd definitely want to return to try out their other Korean goodies, but I would prefer going with a larger group so you can order more stuff. Â Their portions are meant to share, so it's hard when it's only the two of you.
The artwork in the bathrooms makes for interesting conversation (especially the men's room) and there's also a Luxury Music Studio in the back. Â (Is that for karaoke?) Â
There's also a little bell to buzz from your table should you need the staff, that way you don't have to wave them down or go looking for them yourself.
Then swing by next door to Dessert Avenue to have some Fried Ice! Â Yum!
Overall, 3.5 stars.
