We also tried the pork dumplings, which looked steamed but were actually pan-fried and delicious—crispy outside, juicy inside

Ken Kee Restaurant Hong Kong — straightforward chinese in Chinatown. Polished but not pretentious. Not your typical menu, in a good way, and quick and efficient. "Spicy Beef Tripe: this dish was not spicy at all and tasted like Chinese medicine; however" — Kit * [$]

Excellent Hong Kong–style restaurant with delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a great variety of authentic dishes, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The staff were attentive, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Hong Kong cuisine.

I had been following this place on instagram and was finally able to make it in for lunch. The Five Spices Beef Brisket and Tendon casserole was really tasty. It was served with rice.

Brother and I had a massive craving and Ken Kee hit the spot. Ordered Japanese salt and pepper tofu, Salt and Pepper Squid, and beef tripe in XO Sauce. 10/10

Ken Kee Restaurant is consistently excellent. I’ve been here many times, and every visit has been just as good as the last. The broth is rich, clean, and deeply flavorful you can tell it’s made with care and patience. The fish balls are springy and full of flavor, the wontons are silky and generously filled, and the braised beef tendon is tender and melts in your mouth. Everything in the bowl works perfectly together: savory, comforting, and deeply satisfying. It’s rare to find a place that stays this consistent over time, and Ken Kee does it effortlessly. I’ll keep coming back.

I went to Ken Kee with my Uncle. I dragged him with me because I saw this place on Instagram and it did not disappoint me at all. He got the special for $10. With the special he got the Brisket Ramen and The Hot Lemon Tea. He said he enjoyed the ramen. I should have got it because it was the exact Size as my build-A-Ramen. I put bokchow, canteen noodles, boiled eggs, spicy beef broth(must try) and I added spices from the table. It was super flavorful and more than enough. Two people can share the ramen. I got the shrimp fried rice which they prepared perfectly. I also got the garlic green beans which was pretty good. It was definitely a lot of food but I wanted to try it all and I had enough to take home for the next day. I’m returning because they have a pretty long menu I want to try. Thanks
