Reno's food scene is surprisingly excellent. Locals consistently recommend Kwok's (Chinese), Pine State Biscuits (brunch), Hiroba (sushi), 7 Spices (Indian), and R-Town Pizza. Skip the casino buffets — the real gems are in Midtown and downtown.
Chinese
Overwhelming #1 pick. Regulars say 'just let them keep bringing food.'
Breakfast & Brunch
The Reggie biscuit (fried chicken, gravy, bacon) is legendary. Trophy winner for brunch.
AYCE Sushi
People drive from Sacramento for this sushi. Best AYCE in the region.
Indian
Best Indian food in Northern Nevada, possibly the entire West.
Detroit-Style Pizza
Featured on Triple D. The owner is beloved and the pies are perfect.

“Skip the casino restaurants (except Bistro Napa happy hour). The real food is in Midtown.”
