Great little spot! I’ve only been for late night eats. It’s small but the food is good and plenty. I love that they are open late until 2am i believe. It’s not many places you can get full on authentic Chinese entrees that late at night. The portions are great size.

Best Chinese restaurant. Was lucky enough to go with friends who are Chinese . They ordered on menu items and several off item menu items. Food was AMAZING and the service was top notch. We reserved a private karaoke room and had a blast.

Ken take care of you, everyone is king while at Ken’s. If Ken gives you the nod, your order has passed his judgement, truly the best feeling.

I got invited here so not sure on price. However I will say the food was great but when I went to use the bathroom I seen some things that make me not wanna come back here They had Karaoke which was fun. I think this place for sure needs some updating & a lil gem for what it is.

Came in around midnight after a concert. I got the salt & pepper wings and an order of wonton soup, my partner got the shrimp with cashews. The restaurant was clean and quiet, and we sipped on some complimentary tea as we waited. All of our food came out piping hot and fresh. The broth for my wonton soup was flavorful, definitely would get again. The wings were delicious, super moist and crispy. They had a slight heat to them, delicious. Service was attentive and quick, only knocked the atomosphere down because the table next to us was incrediably obnoxious, loud, and rude. Not the restaurant's fault. If I ever find myself in the city and needing a bite late at night, I'll be back.

A true staple in Chinatown, Philly. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I usually go for a bunch of appetizers to share, then a full dinner to enjoy and finish later. All the classics are here—fresh, made to order, and served at very reasonable prices. A solid go-to spot for dependable Chinese seafood dishes.

the best damn salt & pepper wings on this planet. all flats and hits different especially post night-out drinking. been coming here since highschool days, ken & his staff are always accommodating. the karaoke room cost varies depending on the time of day, recommend calling ahead to reserve and it’s BYOB. great selection of music, always a blast with a group of friends.
