Chef Kenny's Asian Vegan Cafe

The crispy beef and spicy Kung Pao chicken were amazing! The vegan pork belly ramen was delectable. Highly recommended.

OK, I have a new favorite spot for when I visit Vegas. To be fair, I love dim sum. So when I found out this place was vegan? Not a chance I was going to miss it.First off, you walk in to see decor that transports you to another space and time. You’re no longer in Vegas but in an almost fantastical Asian setting. Now we’re ready to eat!The dim sum comes out quickly, hot and fresh. They didn’t have a cart so you just ordered off the menu and they had about 20 selections (all vegan of course!) with a mix of mock meat and just traditional dishes. Here is how I would rank the dishes that we got.1) steamed pork bun2) sesame ball3) mushroom dumpling4) scallion cake (this was my GF’s fave)5) baked pork bunHonestly it was all great. One thing that was key was the chili oil which was super delicious, not very spicy, and extremely complementary to a lot of these dishes.Between this and Vegas Vegan Culinary School, I cannot wait to come back.

We had a good meal that included a curry ramen with meatballs as well as a very KFC style fried chicken dinner made from shredded mushrooms. Truth be told we enjoyed the fried chicken more then the ramen. It's a fairly standard Asian vegan place and not as good as the hype surrounding the name.

We went here recently for their reopening. We loved it. It's always so quiet even though it's never empty. The food is always excellent. Service is great. Prices are reasonable for the sizes, we always end up taking food home. Definitely recommend for everyone!

Vegetarian options: The entire restaurant is vegan!

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and kids cups. They are patient with the kids.

Price: Most restaurants will charge you an arm and a leg just because they are serving vegan food. Chef Kenny’s entrées cost just about the same as entrées of other restaurants. I noticed recently some of the prices have gone up when they changed over to a slightly smaller menu. $9 for a fresh coconut is a little steep, so I didn’t get that this time. But entrees are all in $13-$17 range.Food: EVERYTHING IS VEGAN! Spicy Crispy Beef is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE. The roti appetizer is served with curry. Chicken is a must try as well! Seaweed salad was super fresh. I’m not a huge fried rice person, but the fried rice was super flavorful. Curry chicken was a hit I preferred the chicken here instead of the fried. I like the outside (crispy part) of the fried chicken, but the consistency of the inside was a little strange for me. I heard the pork belly ramen was delicious. All in all, there were five of us, and everyone had their own favorites.Service: Don, Sandy, and the crew is always very kind. Belinda helped me before and she was super sweet as well. Chef Kenny is usually in the building and will come out to check in with guests as well.Environment: We originally was going to go to dim sum but it being Mother’s Day, we were worried we would be in line for hours. We arrived at Chef Kenny’s at 11:30am when they opened and was able to get seated immediately. Restaurant is very family oriented and everyone is very nice. Seating is cozy but comfortable and have enough space. I had my 30th birthday party here a few years back and that was a blast too.NTT [[Next Time Try]]: I come here quite often so I’ve personally tried just about everything… I’ve also brought people that are not vegan here, and they fell in love with this place too. Try it all and tell me all about it.Make it a great day, make good choices! xo

Oh this was one of the best places we visited!! The food was fantastic, generous portions and such a great variety. Vegan restaurant but the food is so good that even meat eaters will be impressed!!

Came into Chef Kenny's for vegan sushi with a decent sized party about 10 people. They served our food lickety split. I mean we had hardly been there 10 minutes after our order's placed and the dishes already start coming out the kitchen. Impressive because they already had a few customers in there (Saturday night); it's not like the place was empty. So the service was excellent. We had some finicky eaters in our party and CK's staff were able to accommodate our needs no problems at all. And the food was really good. I had the crispy beef which was so tasty I know it's not very adventurous but it hit the spot. The sushi connoisseurs in my party were quite pleased with the vegan sushi they got.

Even if you aren’t vegetarians/vegans (guilty as charged), this is a great spot for well-balanced Asian cuisine. It is remarkable what they can do in mimicking meats here. Our personal favorites are the 'shrimp' dishes - they are so incredibly flavorful!The indoor dining area is so cozy and inviting, and all the staff go out of their way to exude hospitality and attentiveness.

It's impossible to order just one thing here. Everything is amazing and so different from the last option that you have to order it all. The sushi is just as perfect as the vegan "meat" stir fry dishes. The service is the best too, and you can tell there is a lot of pride and joy that goes into the food. Can't wait to return!

They have a massive menu and everything tasted similar to how I remember non vegan versions. While I'm amazed at the range of options, I think this was more of a 4 star place than 5. For example, the crispy beef was super chewy and the shrimp sauce was clumpy. Overall I was impressed and I would eat there casually but for my limited time in Vegas I would go with another option.

This place has 100% vegan menu with a lot to choose from. I got the Thai tea, kung pao vegan chicken, roti curry, pork less buns, mushroom dumplings, and cream cheese wontons. The roti curry was delicious! Everything was but that was my favorite. The cream cheese wontons were runny but I think it's hard to make them because vegan cream cheese melts quickly. I recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Asian food. Updated from previous review on 2022-12-24

An off-strip gem and one of the best vegan restaurants in Vegas. So many options with huge portions, excellent service and good prices. We will be back again on our next trip.

Authentic Chinese food and an authentic experience. I loved the service here—they are friendly, very giving, and the portions are huge. The sushi is incredible, and the mock steak was really unique and delicious. I also thought the vanilla smoothie was wonderful. The wontons were the best. There’s so much on the menu to try!

Had the amazing honor of speaking with Chef Kenny during one of our many Vegan Vegas Trips. A wonderful human with a great sense of humor. The food was delicious in every aspect. A true combination of flavors, spice put together in a visually appealing setup as well. It will usually be packed so bring your patience and your appetite.

Each of our sushi rolls were about $12 each so it mirrors what you'd find at most conventional Japanese restaurants. We feasted on their Spicy Tuna Roll, Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, and the Sexy Sexy Roll (the later because it sounded hot and had papaya in the ingredients list). The rolls were creative and delicious. Like most other sushi restaurants, they start to taste similarly to one another after a while. However, I really recommend the Spicy Tuna (loved what they used to the tuna replacement) and the Sexy Sexy simply because of its variety in veggies/fruits, and not a complete reliance on sauce to give the rolls their taste. If I were to return, I would likely stick with just two of the specialty rolls and order some other entree items from their expansive vegan menu. One thing to note is that their Chinese menu is very similar to its competitors nearby. Again, not sure if they're owned by the same person or related, but I'd definitely be up for some more of their vegan Chinese dishes next time I'm around.
