Tasty cart noodles inspired by iconic Hong Kong street vendors served up in a colorful and fun setting. Additionally, they have an extensive menu of cantonese classics and familiar favorites. Wash it all down with unique hot and cold teas. Don’t worry about dessert because you won’t have room for any!

Extremely busy place. Were seated after a very short wait and it was bit confusing at first for newcomers. Servers were spotty initially but once they got into a grove it was okay. Was reminiscent of an old diner. We were handed a paper pen and menu and the server left without saying a word. We eventually flagged down a server and placed our order. We ordered:

I’ve never been to a place that serves Cart noodles until today, and I was definitely impressed with this spot. They serve Traditional Cantonese specialties so we had indulge. The lychee smoothie tasted really fresh and didn’t have any syrup residue at the bottom. The street food platter had some unique items in it with the pork skin being super spicy. All the food was good, especially the cart noodles entree that i built from scratch. The signature broth is the way to go.

Ordered the Mong Kok special on the menu. It was a very nice combo with duck wing, brisket, soft boiled eggs etc. Everything is delicious! Def recommend this place! The service was fair, need to wait quite long and give eye contact to let server know we were ready to order/ to pay. But overall is a very good food and experience, recommended. The decorations are very vintage and cute, give me 80’s Hong Kong vibe.

I’ve been to Ken Kee a couple of times and have always loved it! We always order from the make-your-own-soup-bowl menu and usually add the curry fish balls, bbq pork and quail eggs. Personally the cantonese egg noodles are better than the handmade noodles, but some of my friends disagree. More often than not, there’s some wait time. Service is quick but they sometimes forget to add some items to some of the orders… but I would still definitely recommend it, everything tastes very good!

I got the curry chicken and it tastes great but needed more sauce. The chicken was lightly fried beforehand and that made a huge difference to the dish.

Such a cute spot! The decor is bright and colorful, with lots of fun posters and designs, which extends to the super cute menu! Food was equally as visually stunning, but most importantly, it was GOOD! Hearty soups full of veggies and various ingredients. The HK style drinks (milk tea, lemon tea) HIT!

We went to try this restaurant because my daughter told me has a very good reviews. Well we ordered the beef brisket soup and my son ordered chicken fried rice and chicken wings. The beef brisket soup lack of flavor very greasy. The chicken fried rice taste terrible very bland and taste like chicken was old. The chicken wings my son told me I got better chicken wings at local Chinese restaurant where we lived. Drinks are fenomenal my daughter and I both ordered the passion fruit with jasmine tea was very good. I’m not think we’re coming back to this restaurant. My daughter spender $100.00 and on my opinion the food doesn’t worth pay that kind of money.

This is a small and cute restaurant where you will get a taste of Hong Kong’s street food. Meaty small plates are quite unique and delicious. Some food items can be more oily than you will expect, so it’s a good idea to make your own bowl. This place is always full and doesn’t require reservation. Thumbs up!
