Very friendly and the food is very good. I like the cleanliness of the place and the bathrooms are also very clean. Food is good and they can recommend things for the sauces. I will go back to try their American food too. Raymond my server was great. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, we got the chicken soup and the sizzling rice soup! We will definitely be back to try more. The menu is good for anyone with lots of options including gluten free options for me. The service was friendly and kind! Thank you! read more

We are from out of town. Tried Kenny's and the food was hot, and tasted fine. However, their tomato beef chow mein with pan fried noodles was delicious! Really nice people. Food was on the expensive side. read more

Soso food. Whole green onions left in dishes. Too much. Ok busyness. I like the Kenny's prawns. Prices are not great. Amounts are less than you pay for. The staff is annoying and not fast enough and leave you hanging. But also warm ppl. read more

Great food, good portion sizes and such great staff. Our go to is House Chow Mein and House fried rice, beef and broccoli, cashew chicken, fried wontons, and crab Rangoon. All is very delicious and love it as leftovers as well! The staff is super friendly and the place can get packed some days but we always order to go. Plenty of parking in the area. read more

A true hole in the wall gem. Everything we tried was very good and I was pleasantly surprised with Kenny's fish. The fish was light but the breading was flavorful. The server was very patient and kind. I would definitely come back again! read more

Kenny's Cafe - Crab Rangoon, Kenny's fish, wonton soup, beef chow mein, sweet and sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - Pacifica, California

Kenny's Cafe has been serving Chinese and American food for many years; I have been totally satisfied, the food is Authentic, and always nice and hot. The service is great, I've never had to wait, whether it was to eat in or take out. read more

The outside is deceiving. It looks like a dive or old grocery store from the outside. Inside you it has been transformed into a modern Chinese restaurant. The place is busy and there is a line for take out. The food is delicious and service is impeccable. The first night we had the birds nest with scallops, prawns, fish, chicken, mini corn, broccoli, snow peas all in a noodle birds nest. Perfect for 2 to share as a meal. What a treat to have fresh seafood by the ocean. I liked the fish best and I'm not a fish person. The sauce was delicious and the fish firm. The next day we got lemon chicken. Fried Brest meat with a lemon sauce and a separate dish of asparagus. Both good. Don't judge a book by its cover, park and come inside and you'll be delightfully surprised. read more

The food was so good and everyone was so sweet, the service was amazing. Such a cute place.

Went for lunch today, 29 June 2023. Didn't expect much. The lunch special prices are cheap at $10-11. They come with rice and soup. Had supposedly spicy pork with garlic sauce. My wife had fish with veg. We both loved the spicy hit and sour soup! 5 stars. My not spicy at all pork was sweet. Bummer as it was off-putting. My wife suspects sweet garlic sauce was used. 2 stars since no spice and the sweetness. My wife's fish was 4 star worthy. Tasty and kinda American style Chinese (if you know what I mean) but good. We actually switched meals since she was okay with the sweetness on the pork. We will give them another try. But trust me on this -- skip the not spicy garlic sauced anything unless like sweetness in your food. read more

The food is always comforting and delicious. It's our favorite in all of Pacifica. Kennys also does great catering trays and is very reasonable. read more

You simply can't go wrong with Kenny's Cafe. The staff is wonderful, family owned. The food is delicious and the servings are big and the prices are right! read more

Dropped by here for dinner the other night, and it was exactly what we wanted - authentic Chinese food and friendly service. Food came out quickly and was eagerly devoured. The shrimp in lobster sauce wasn't my favorite here, but otherwise it was a good meal. read more

So marginal! I enjoyed the hot and sour soup- spicy eggplant and green bean ala carte sickeningly sweet and drenched in sauce. Brown rice totally undercooked. And then pressured to tip. . . read more

Chicken tasted old. Sauce was overly sweet and salty and turned neon yellow against white rice. Could swear the shrimp were reconstituted dried shrimp, wrinkly, tough and small (2" wide). When returned to kitchen, the staff blamed us, saying we didn't know Chinese food. We did and that wasn't it. read more

Start to Finish! First time there, Roy made my Husband & I feel very welcome. Food was excellent! We will go back Yummy! read more

AFFORDABLE, LARGE PORTIONS, TASTY. What I ordered: salt&pepper chicken wings, Kenny's prawns, spicy garlic sauce green beans, and beef black bean sauce chow fun. The portions were huge for the price. Plenty of leftovers for 2 people. I left satisfied. Will comeback to this place. Was a highlight of our trip in Pacifica. read more

A neighborhood staple for us. Everything is delicious! Our family favs Kenny's chicken, wontons fried and soup, honey walnut prawns and tomato beef chow mein ! The weekly specialties are also great. Mei and the rest of her staff are the best read more

Love Kenny's Cafe...one of those great neighborhood spots everyone wish they had. Always open, great service, terrific food, and always so accommodating. Tonight stopped in with my Dad. He's had food from here but never sat down for the full experience. He enjoyed it and even ordered food to-go. Some of the best hot and sour soup and fried won tons.... Tonight's meal pretty darn good...just check out the pics! read more

Best Chinese food in Pacifica and really good prices. I've been coming here for 30 years

Hands down the best Chinese food in the Bay Area. The staff are kind and welcoming and the food is 10 out of 10. Our favorite dishes are the Mongolian beef ( so flavorful) honey walnut prawns, hot and sour soup, pork fried rice and they have the best fried wontons on the planet ! You won't be disappointed. read more

There were three of us and we ordered Beef/Boccoli over rice Fish filet over rice and Pan fried Chow mein It was a decent lunch special....good value. Have to say, we loved the hot and sour soup. read more

We've been going to Kenny's for years either eat in or take out. Portions are huge and their food are very tasty. It's located on Pacifica and if you select to order take out you can go to the beach and have a picnic. Appetizers: -crab Rangoon - I love that there's a lot of filling unlike other places -fried shrimp - not too greasy and batter is not too heavy or thick both the Rangoon and shrimp were served with sweet sour sauce. Main course: --chicken chowmein - plenty of chicken and veggies which I always look for when ordering noodles. Tasty and not salty -Mooshoo chicken - we received more than 4 pancakes which was good because there was a lot of filling. Again tasty and not salty -Salt and Pepper Fish - we've always loved this dish. It was a little saltier than before but it was still good. Breading is not too much and we had enough leftovers to have for lunch the next day. -shrimp broccoli lunch plate was my mom's and she loved it. She said she definitely will be going back. Staffs: Are always friendly and attentive. They seated us right away and had our dishes served quickly. Venue: place is not fancy but clean and always busy. Call in your order and enjoy! Price: reasonable and worth it. I highly recommend Kenny's. read more

Always a good choice for lunch or dinner! Staff is pleasant and helpful. Food is delicious, fresh and hot! Many locals are regular customers. The large portions are good for taking home leftovers! read more

This is another of those little Chinese places that will surprise you: from outside it looks like a pathetic greasy spoon, and the inside is diner cafeteria decor. But the food turned out quite good. There's plenty of places (including this one) which offer Kung Pao three delight, but this is the only one I've seen that offers Mongolian three delight, so I got that. Chicken, beef, and a few shrimp mixed with plenty of celery and onion in a light but vivid sauce. Had a country style to it, and it was quite satisfactory. Coming up 1 from Half Moon Bay, go through the Linda Mar light and then turn right at Crespi, it's on the right at the end of the block, at the far end of the little shopping center. I'll be doing that again. read more

I came to Pacifica to go to another restaurant but I didn't check their business hours and they were closed . So I check what other options are close to where I was and my navigation showed me Kenny's Cafe . I checked their reviews and I decided to try them . I am so glad I came here . Whatever 5stars you see on yelp trust them . Ignore the rest . This is a very small cafe but they have enough seats to have 20 or more customers . They have lots of different options in their menu. The customer service is just awesome . All the employees welcome you and they are just smiling at you . They are very professional. They know what does customer service means . I was confused what to order as they had so many different items . I asked one of the young gentlemen to help me and he suggested to pick just a small portion of their fried rices and one of their vegetables dishes . I trusted him and I ordered what he suggested and it was really really delicious. They use fresh ingredients and their portions are more than enough. They have pretty good prices also . I will definitely go back again . My experience was just a complete satisfaction . read more

The food is pretty standard Americanized Chinese food; not authentic, but hey, it's pretty decent enough. The service stood out to us; very friendly and personable. The location is just okay in a outdated strip mall; ample parking, but it could benefit from a remodel or even relocation. I like that they serve breakfast food. You're not going to get a fine dining experience; it's more like a Chinese restaurant-meets-diner vibe...well, that's exactly what it is, which is perfectly fine. read more

Someone once told me that there was no such thing as love at first taste.That someone never met Kenny. This man's salt and pepper pork was remarkable. The words go beyond comprehension that I have for this meet, no diddy. Kenny deserves an award. read more

Love this place! I use to eat here all the time growing up in Pacifica. I returned recently after being gone for about 10 years and was thrilled to see that they are still open and making amazing food. This is hands down one of the best restaurants in town food is so good, portions are large and the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend Kenny's deep fried chicken in sweet spicy garlic sauce as it's one of my favorite dishes. Enjoy! read more

I've seen Kenny's over the years but never visited. Finally had a chance to order takeout and was very impressed. The food was wonderful. We ordered pot stickers and hot & sour soup as well as a noodle dish. It all tasted fresh and delicious. Service was great and portions were generous. The inside of the restaurant is very pleasant and airy. Next time we'll try to get one of the booths and taste dishes cooked from American side of the menu. . read more

I love Kenny's Cafe. It's owned by a wonderful local family who make you feel welcome. The food is great, as is the service. I've had most items on the menu and they are our go to Chinese food. It's got that "old school" California Chinese restaurant feels that we had in the '70's and '80's. read more

Food is always good. The menu is huge and lots to choose from. Service is great. I go here at least once a week.

A solid American Chinese food in this part of town. Would I drive there to eat at Kenny's Cafe from SF? Probably not. But if I am in the area and in the mood for some American Chinese food, I would definite visit. The price is great, ingredients are fresh, service is fast and friendly, and food arrives very fast. For a hungry gal like me who just hiked around the beach, some beef chow fun just hit the spot. read more

I came here for dinner, and luckily most Chinese restaurants are open on major holidays. I came on Easter, and it was surprisingly pretty full inside! I liked the huge parking lot, too. I tried three dishes: string beans with minced pork, garlic and egg fried rice, and orange chicken. All of the dishes were tasty! My favorite of the three was the string beans. They were cooked so perfectly! The rice was nice and fluffy, but there were some pockets where there was a lot of salt. And the orange chicken was very tender, but I was hoping for it to be a little more crispy. The ladies that helped me were very nice :) read more

out of all the chinese food places that i've had in the past, Kenny's beats everyone. Highly recommend every dish.

A Pacifica staple! I've been going to Kenny's since I was born and it never disappoints. Whether you do take out or dine in, the food is always spectacular and the family who owns the place is the best. When in town visiting the folks, this is an absolute classic. Kenny's Cafe deserves all the praise locals give it! read more

American style Chinese food. And American dishes. Not bad. I like the mapo tofu. You can ask for Chinese style, and that will shift the dishes from American-Chinese more towards what the cooks eat themselves. read more

All locals live this place. It's been a staple in the community for years. Great food and service.
