Ordered delivery and the sautéed chicken and vegetables were outstanding. The fried rice with shrimp was exceptional. A great Chinese restaurant in Philly.

This is one of my favorite places to go when I come into Philadelphia. Everything is such great quality and tastes so good. I love to explore amd try new dishes I've never heard of because you can't go wrong. It's always going to be excellent!

Loved the jumbo shrimp with mayonnaise. Dining in comes with good tea.Vibes are chill if you’re used to being in Asian establishments.Great service - polite, quick, and thoughtful. No unnecessary disingenuous butt kissing you would see in Rittenhouse.

We met the owner, Ken who was VERY courteous to our group. He was so helpful after an error with our reservations. Ken went above and beyond to help us save the evening. We are very grateful and so sorry for the two people who were in our party who were ungrateful and RUDE. (we just met them tonight and I will NOT be going anywhere with them again) Thank you Ken and to the rest of your staff for being so helpful and wonderful. It's always great to see an establishment try so hard to accommodate.

Put in a reservation for karaoke at 11:30. They "overbooked" themselves so we did not have any room to ourselves. Staff did nothing to accommodate. Would never return. Good thing I did not pay in advance.

Good food, extremely fresh seafood, crab is amazing. Open late food for after bar hopping. Owner's always friendly. Only minus is I've been there too much so I want to go somewhere else for variety.

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.

Everything always comes out fresh and every time same. I been eating with Ken seafood for over 5 years. I have not have one bad meals. Price is so reasonable.

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 was good. Service was horrible. Didn’t want to give a single dollar for tip.

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
