    Ribeye Steak
    Natalie W.

    I had Ribeye Steak with Rice and Peas. For a drink, l ordered Tsingtao. It was really good. The service was great!

    Stopped by this place while visiting pacific and it was a little hidden gem! The service was amazing and friendly! The food was food and they were big portions as well. The hot and sour soup was on point and overall every meal was delicious. The ambiance was local Chinese diner with great staff. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 was small cocktail shrimp was used for the fried rice instead of the regular shrimp which changes the flavor profile and not as tasty as using the regular shrimp. I know that's picky but it makes a rather big difference in taste. I would definitely be back

    This was such an unexpected hit ! We were in the area and I was so hungry ! We found through yelp and first impression was how cozy it is . It's like eating yummy food at home . I can see why locals love this place . If I'm ever in the area I will def stop by again ! Service was quick and friendly !

    Excellent American/Chinese food, old school vibes, and friendly customer service. Prime rib special on Friday was a great cut/price under $30 for set meal. Salt and pepper fish was flavorful and fried to perfection. They also serve wine and beer, cmon! These are the businesses that should be patronized. Cheers!

    Stopped in on a whim during a girls' trip and was seriously impressed! I'm usually picky about Chinese food; grew up next door to the owners of an amazing restaurant in Dublin, CA and haven't found anything that measured up since. Kenny's comes close! We had the honey walnut prawns (crispy, flavorful, and generous!), beef fried rice, salt & pepper chicken (made with white meat, which I prefer), and fried wontons. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Great portions, quick service, and no-frills comfort food done right. I'll definitely be back!

    Very friendly family atmosphere. Food was quick and fresh. I ordered the wonton and noodle soup with shrimp. It was bland at first, but with a little hot sauce, it was perfect!

    beautiful d.

    I've been coming here for years!! I have had their food since I was in high school, and throughout the years I always recommend this place to all my friends and coworkers! It makes me happy hearing that they come on their own time because it means that they're getting the recognition that they deserve. Their food have always stayed consistent in the best quality, their staff are always attentive and make the place feel like home! It's always so comforting coming in and being welcomed by everyone! I always try to bring different people in, and those people bring new folks in too! Nothing makes me happier than seeing this place getting the love that they deserve with the amount of dedication and hard work they put in with every table that they serve. This restaurant will always have a special place in my heart! These photos are all taken months apart or even years a part to emphasize all the different people I've shared Kenny's with and just how consistent their amazing food is!

    Wor Won Ton Soup
    Steve D.

    640 Crespi Dr Pacifica, CA 94044 I was recently At Kenny's Cafe for a family gathering, and the service and food were just excellent. I ordered the Wor Won Ton Soup, and it was really good. It was loaded with plump dumplings, lots of meats and small shrimps, and chopped veggies. I asked for chopsticks, but they weren't needed. I could enjoy this steaming bowl of won ton soup with just the chinese soup spoon provided. The Mgr was super friendly and came out to say hello and talk about the restaurant. Truly a local success story.

    Why have I never been here before? All the years I have missed having this amazing chinese food. Upon exiting the car in the parking lot, there is plenty of parking, I could smell the deliciousness in the air. We were greeted and seated promptly upon entering and all of the staff we encountered were friendly and smiling. The restaurant itself is no frills and that is just the way I like it. It is often a sign that the food is good. We ordered fried won tons, won ton soup, generals chicken, fried rice and chow mein. Everything was absolutely delicious! The won ton soup was perfect. I told my husband that the next time I am sick, I am going to send him here to get some soup for me. The fried won tons have meat in them, which I really like as some places just fry the won ton alone. They also served hot tea and left the pot for the table. This is now going to be my go to Chinese restaurant.

    Fried Wonton.. took pic b4 all gone.

    Been coming by for a while for Chicken cashew nut chow mein, can't get that combo in SF since are go to spot closed a few yrs. back. You get a choice of house soup. We go for hot & sour. Raymond turned us on to their fried wontons. They were tasty. They have a menu for party trays . They were a hit at our family get together as well as the cashew nut chicken chow mein. Like everything else.. going up, price , quality, Our go to spot when driving along Hwy. 1

    Staying at the Pacifica beach hotel and walked down to Kenny's. We went in with low expectations but were blown away with the great service, delicious food and beyond reasonable prices/portions.

    Kung Pao shrimp with fried rice
    Annie L.

    Kenny's cafe is a crossover between Chinese food and an American diner. When you walk in, you're hit with diner vibes with the red leather booths and bar seating. Old decor, old pealing tables, at least our table was not sticky! The menu consists of both Chinese and American food. Today, we were feeling Chinese food! We went with the lunch specials for a max of $13, you get a soup, entree and your choice of steam or fried rice. We ordered the Kung Pao chicken and Kung Pao shrimp. The soup arrived quickly! Good flavors and what you would expect from a family Chinese restaurant. The fried rice was soaked in a dark sauce, which is a first for me! My hubbys chicken dish was noticeably larger than my shrimp dish which is to be expected since seafood is more expensive. Taste was not bad but the rice was my least favorite. The food was so-so, not bad but not good either. However, the service and the ladies who work here are wonderful!

Inside it was simply decorated and they even had a little shop to buy shirts etc We ordered: 1. 3 musubis: 2 spam and 1 chicken katsu. All were fresh and perfectly seasoned. 2. Loco moco: It was decent and I got extra gravy on the side. Surprisingly, the mac salad was amazing in my opinion. 3. Smash burger with bacon & bbq sauce: I tried ordering a smash burger but with the western bacon cheeseburger and it didn't come out right. It ended up being a regular burger, not smash and it had shredded lettuce in it which threw me off. 4. Chocolate whoopie pie: Soft and fresh. It was delicious 5. Chocolate chip cookie & white chocolate butterscotch cookies: Soft and fresh. You can taste all the flavors without it being overly sweet 6. Chocolate milkshake: Average nothing special. Overall, the food was ok. I'll definitely come back to try other items.

We didn't really mind this though, as we knew the restaurant would be extremely bustle. Once seated, we were served immediately with warm bread and butter. Our server was outstanding, he made us feel welcomed from the start. We started off with two cocktails, we tried the seasonal basil martini, which was delightful. For the starter, we got the chicken cesar salad, we requested for extra anchovies, and our server delivered. As for the main dish, we got the prime rib, medium. It was so delicious, well cooked and seasoned--we enjoyed it very much. We were very pleased with our server's professionalism and attentiveness. He anticipated our needs without having us making requests. He asked if we were planning to share our dishes, and we received thoughtful shared portions. Despite having many tables to tend to, he checked in on us and refilled our water efficiently. Our busser was also awesome, very hardworking. Our dining experience was elevated thanked to their great teamwork. Overall, everything was impressively executed. Worth every single minute that we waited for.
