This place is AMAZING!! Open till 3 am they are the perfect late night food. The food is amazing and tastes so good. The service at the restaurant is great! They are constantly checking in on you. I highly recommend ordering multiple dishes to share

You want to authentic Chinese food in Philly....get down to Chinatown and Ken's. Open late and this place rocks! Just look at the pics and tell me these entrees don't look awesome. Yeah...they're all killer!

Love the food. Hate that you have to stare at the poor, cramped fish, turtles, & lobsters. It actually makes me sad and looks cruel. I only get take out & sometimes the guilt gets to me before I am able to order :( I hope they cover the tanks or something in the future.

I came here after a concert that ended around 2am. I'd never been to Chinatown or really anywhere so late but the friends I was with said this was a must-have for post concert food. We ordered the "beef cubes" which I still have no idea what it matches up to on the menu but it's possible they just understood what it was when asked. We also got some general tsos and the lemon pepper chicken wings. The wings were the highlight for me although the other food was also good as well. You get some extremely hot tea in little cups that you can refill yourself which was nice to have. The service is quite no frills which is expected in Chinatown l, and the food they serve is 10/10. I do think it's a little of a weird time since we couldn't get out for a while since a group was arguing with the owners about whether they'd paid or not near the door but it was kind of funny and really gives you those late night vibes anyway would highly recommend if you're looking for food after a late night concert.

Food: I used to only come here for karaoke, but the regular dine in menu is absolutely fantastic. I come here maybe every other month, and I always leave satisfied. Last night some friends and I were craving honey walnut shrimp and salted fish fried rice and it did not disappoint. The honey walnut shrimp was plump and luscious. The salted fish fried rice was also delicious. The bits of salted shrimp and seafood elevate the fried rice drastically. This is always a must for me when I eat here. I am always surprised by the quality and consistency of the food here despite how large the menu selection is -- a true testament of cantonese mastery. They can take all my money honestly. Honey walnut shrimp: 5/5 Salted fish fried rice: 5/5 Service: The food comes out very quick and they open pretty late too which is nice after a night out. Ambience: Very no frills and what you would expect from a typical cantonese seafood joint. There's way too many fish in their fish tanks and there's always someone cutting heaps of green beans on the table.

Our dinner here was not bad - some of the neighboring restaurants looked really busy, and there wasn't much of a line here. They were also serving a large banquet/party upstairs, so it's definitely still a popular place. Overall, the sea food dishes were fresh and prepared pretty quickly. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Okay guys... I'm back! I wanted to be apart of the controversy between Kens and David's salt and pepper shrimp. I've tried David's before and I was not impressed at all as the shrimp were soggy by the time I got home and the breading is a lot thicker, more of a tempura style as& P shrimp but I recently had the chance to try Kens S&P shrimp and babyyyyyyy they were spot on and exactly what I was looking for! I will say that the shrimp were soggy when I got home and didn't taste nearly as good as they did when they came out to the table but my vote is for Kens... Y'all can keep David's across the street lol

This review is ONLY for their chicken wings, beef chow fun, and stirred fried string beans past midnight. So Ken's seafood is one of the few places that opens past 12 in Chinatown. After being out, my friends introduced me to ken's seafood and ordered what I mentioned above. All three of those dishes was pretty good. Chicken wings, very crispy and juicy in the inside. Beef chow fun is huge portion with plenty of meat. I never had any of their other dishes so can't comment there. Also if other restaurants are open, ken's is generally not our go to but maybe we should check it out during normal hours.

*3.5/5 Only place around that was open for our late night post-concert cravings, and it was aight. Kinda tasted like food I could put together myself but it hit the spot in the moment. Pan-fried dumplings were nice and crispy, so special shout out there. They also give you tea to drink which is noice.
