Kenny's Cafe

If you're looking for Chinese food in Pacifica, you absolutely have to check out Kenny's! We've been loyal customers for over 20 years, and the only thing that's changed is the prices. The staff is always friendly, and they're incredibly generous with their portion sizes. If you order enough, you might even find some complimentary items in your takeout!My son can't get enough of their pork fried rice--he finishes an entire box by himself! I have a special dish that's not even on the menu, which makes this place really special for me. Another favorite is their salted fish--so delicious! The menu is packed with great options like kung pao chicken, beef with broccoli, wontons, and so much more. You really can't go wrong here!

640 Crespi Dr Pacifica, CA 94044I 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.

The last time we went to Kenny's was about 20 years ago for a school fundraiser. We haven't gone back because the food there is just not to our liking.Flash forward to present day, I was in the area and several people I was with sang Kenny's graces, said the family is super nice and the food is delicious. I decided to try it again.I placed an order to go, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, salt and pepper chicken wings. The kung pao chicken had an overwhelming amount of peanuts. The pork in the SS pork was tough and hard to chew. The chicken wings were decent. I loved that the restaurant also threw in a complimentary order of fried wontons.Overall not an awful experience but also not a place I would frequent. I think the high reviews are due to the fact that the family that runs this place is really friendly and well loved by the community.

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.

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!

My grandpa loves Kenny's Cafe. He requested to have dinner here for a late Father's Day celebration. I hadn't been here before, but I would return.There wasn't a lot of saltiness in the food, but still had flavor. The type of beef they used seemed to be better quality than what you typically get at Chinese restaurant.Everything came out nice and hot. We didn't have to wait long for the food. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, not over done. I'm not really a fan of fried tofu, but it was pretty good. Wings were solid. My grandpa orders them every visit. It's a very simple, no frills Chinese restaurant that fits the old small town atmosphere of Pacifica. The ladies working stood on business, taking orders, bringing out food, cleaning up tables, etc. I was surprised that they stayed consistently busy since we were there at an odd time of the day.

Love Kenny's. As valued customers we often get fried wantons on the house. They are prompt and nice. Love their food. The only thing I don't like is they don't chop their green onions enough. Sometimes the whole thing is in the food like chow mein. Otherwise wonderful service and food! I recommend Kenny's prawns.

Kenny's Cafe is authentic, no frills, hometown Chinese food. Situated in a small commercial center with plenty of parking in the sleepy beach town of Pacifica, the restaurant's been family owned and operated in the exact same building for at least two decades. In that time, they've cultivated a reputation among locals as a reliable, friendly establishment with quality food and service.I went with my girlfriend for lunch on a cold and rainy weekday in the winter, and was greeted and seated instantly. Before we could even ask, our server offered hot Jasmine tea, which was perfect for a day like that. After reviewing the menu we decided on a couple classics: hot and sour soup to start, and pork chow mein and kung pao chicken for our main entrees. The food is delicious. It isn't over seasoned or over spiced the way some Chinese food that tries to pander to foreigners is, it's subtle and tasty and consistent. It might have been the cold and rainy day that I was there, but the hot and sour soup was particularly amazing, even compared to some of the bougier Chinese spots in the bay area. The pork chow mein had thin slices of pork in it, with a soy sauce drizzle that made the noodles soft (not overly) and perfect to combine with the kung pao chicken.If you're looking for a solid, consistent, easy to enjoy place with a chill vibe, Kenny's is your spot.

The Ground Beef Steak with Gravy is really great. The Coke with the food is good. The service is always okay. I like going there!!

Ok Kenny...... dropped by here for lunch just because it looked like a super hole in the wall. I was not expecting to actually be impressed so much that I'm going back for dinner. Had a burger to try the American food and chow fun to try the Chinese. Both were good and didn't leave me thirsty like some Chinese places does. Service is spot on especially for a Chinese restaurant.This place is clean too!
