I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this place; their shopfront proclaims Kenny's Kitchen an "Asian fusion" establishment, but their take-away menu seemed like it was mostly a collection of typical (Westernized) Asian fare.
Thankfully, dining here showed that Kenny's Kitchen has all the excellent creativity, presentation, and flavors that the Asian fusion label promises. Technically it may be slightly more accurate to describe the food here as "modern Asian", but that's splitting hairs. The point is, the food here is creative, well executed, and tasty.
The calamari entree delivers battered and fried pieces of squid served over the top of a salad containing, among other things, plenty of Malaysian style spices and just the right amount of hot chillies. It's unlike anything I've had elsewhere, and quite delicious as well. The 'crispy beef w/ plum' sauce is also very good, and the 'sizzling mongolian lamb' that another table ordered was delivered sizzling quite vigorously indeed. I've no idea how it tastes, but it certainly sounded delicious. It's definitely on the list of things to try on my next visit.
Prices and portions are both quite reasonable. With any luck they'll stay that way. Though honestly, given the quality of the food and the location of the restaurant they could probably get away with charging a little bit more.
Just one (very) minor issue to report; while the calamari itself was cooked beautifully, the batter on the outside was just slightly soggy/chewy. Like maybe the temperature on the fryer needs to be turned up just a tad, or something. But with that one exception, I can't really find any fault with the meal. read more
