    Braised Spicy Beef tendon with noddle soup
    John Y.

    Small late night spot in the heart of China Town. Came here after watching a White Sox game and a lot of people were thinking the same thing we were for a later night meal. They have Cantonese style dishes as well as American Chinese, a little something for everyone. The chicken wings were well seasoned and crispy along with the French fries. The spicy beef tendon was soft, the veg was slightly undercooked just the way I like it. The noodles was a a little mushy and not very springy. The wontons were pretty good. I wish they could have turned up the AC as it was quite muggy. Will try some other dishes the next time in town.

    Some of the best sesame chicken I've had in the city- all the other dishes were just ok! The service was kind of slow but there wasn't an empty seat in the restaurant. I loved the old school ambiance of the place. Really enjoyed the passion fruit and peach sweet tea. Want to come back to try their afternoon tea deal!

    Haven't had Ken Kee in awhile. They've had new renovations that are very bold. There's booth and chair seating options. There were two other groups of people other than us. We sat down quickly but waited a good 10 minutes before anyone came to take our orders. There seemed to be a lot of staff behind the counter but only one girl was taking orders and bringing out food. The food was all delicious. The beef and broccoli was probably the most average. The Hong Kong milk tea was perfect. Overall, it was a great lunch.

    *FREE PORK DUMPLINGS* for Lunar New Year at @kenkee_restaurant Good thru 3/1/2026 We finally made it to Ken Kee restaurant in Chinatown in order to take advantage of their Lunar New Year special. I had a Mango Smoothie. It was so smooth, fresh, and delicious. We ordered the Free Pork Dumplings and Crab Rangoon. The Crab Rangoon (4) were delicious and really stuffed. They don't scrimp on ingredients here. I had the Supreme Bowl (Abalone, Fish Maw, Satay Wagyu, Beef Brisket, spicy minced Pork and Clam, Mushrooms in Abalone Sauce, Chinese Lettuce, and Marinated Soft Boiled Egg). Did we love everything that we ate here? Yes! We will be back! Don't miss your chance to take advantage of the FREE PORK DUMPLINGS for lunar New Year at Ken Kee! * with any $30+ valid for dine-in orders only. Cannot be combined withother offers.

    To drink I had a Strawberry Smoothie, it was so refreshing! I ordered the Pork Dumplings. The Pork Dumplings were so delicious, that we feel they are some of the best we have ever had. My entrée was the Supreme Casserole (Abalone, Fish Maw, Whitaker Mushrooms and Chicken). We will be back! Everything we ate here was really delicious. Pro tip. There is paid street parking in the back. It's way easier to find than in the parking lots in front.

    It was a family night out in Chinatown, and it was our first time exploring and enjoying a walk through the area. We came across this restaurant, and my sister and I took our time looking through the menu to find a few dishes we wanted to try. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and we ended up ordering so much food! Every dish was worth it, and we had a wonderful experience. Definitely a memorable night filled with great food, family, and fun!

    Congee
    Ashley C.

    The service is quick, the food is delicious and the restaurant itself is fairly clean and organized. We had two bowls of pork and preserved egg congee, stir fried noodles, eggplant, fried bread and a side of curry fish balls. Everything we ate was delicious! The one thing to say is that the congee is large so do not order expecting to finish it all just by yourself. So tasty and we would definitely go again.

    Great portions. Great value. Had two people and couldn't finish 4 plates. We got the Mongolian beef , garlic broccoli, rice and orange chicken. Super good. Busy.

    Chicken Chow Mein
    Parissa A.

    Ken Kee is my kiddo's favorite place to go to in Chinatown! I cannot believe I haven't written a review before! While the space is relatively small and busy, we are usually able to grab a table for 4! We typically order the chicken chow mein, orange chicken, anything with Milo on or in it. The space is beautiful and it feels like you are transported to a Hong Kong diner. No matter how busy, the staff are attentive, kind, and efficient. We are usually able to grab parking in the parking lot or find street parking in the neighborhood / side streets.

    Janica R.

    Visited Ken Kee and had a really solid experience. The food was good overall, and the portion sizes are fair for the price definitely worth it. The vibe really stands out! the neon lights and setup make it feel like you're actually in Hong Kong, which adds a lot to the experience. The servers were also nice and attentive, which made everything even better. Would definitely come back to try more dishes.

    Crab Rangoon (4) - $6.95 as of 8/2025
    Bob L.

    Low frills but great flavor and value! Items we ordered as of 8/2025 - Crab Rangoon (4) - 6.95 - Very thick and fully filled with cream cheese. I love crab rangoons and this was definitely a hit with me. - BBQ Pork Belly Rice Bowl w/ Sunny Side Up Egg - $12.95 - DELICIOUS! The pork belly was tender and had a perfect balance of fat to lean meat. Value wise this was a no brainer. 100% would order this again. - Szechuan Boiled Fish Fillet - $17.95 - VERY Mala so if that's your jam then get this! The quantity was superb for the price. Overall we were quite happy with our food and would gladly come back to try their other dishes!

    We came here on a busy day when everywhere else had super long waits time but this place had no wait at all. The menu is simple and has pictures which helped a lot. There's a good amount of seating, maybe for around 20 people max. We ordered the pork rolls, shumai, corn dish, fried chive dumplings, and sticky rice. The pork rolls and shumai especially were solid and I would get again! The sticky rice looked really good in the photo but was actually dry, hard, and completely had no flavor. I would skip that next time. Service was good and efficient. you can even watch them chop up the meats right in front of you in the front of the restaurant. I'd definitely come back to try the pork or duck next time.

    Mong Kok
    Brandi H.

    My friends and I wanted asian food so we took the train to Chinatown and found this spot. It wasn't busy for a Friday lunch so we got seated quickly. The interior was nicely decorated to give off the Hong Kong vibe. Mong Kok (4/5): This bowl was packed! Definitely a big portion that you can share. It came with curry fish ball, sweet soy sauce chicken wing, beef brisket, radish, satay pork skin, chinese lettuce, and marinated soft boiled egg. I loved the curry fish balls! The chicken wing was so tender and had good flavor. The beef brisket was hearty. I didn't care too much for the pork skin or chinese lettuce. The noodles were bouncy. The broth was a bit oily, probably because of all the toppings. I enjoyed this spot! My friends liked their noodle dishes as well. I would probably come back and try other dishes. Service was quick and attentive.

    Solid dinner here in Chicago Chinatown. We're visiting from out of town this weekend, and visited…read moreupon a recommendation from a friend. Our large group was accommodated easily, and we were served relatively quickly after an initial delay while we were waiting for someone to come by. Food came soon after that. We ordered a wide range of things: honey shrimp, beef tripe, pork intestine, Hong Kong style fried noodles. Everything here is solid and delicious. Portions are reasonable too. Ambience is nice, clean, and modern. Only issue while we were here is that some in our group tried to order their baked chicken over spaghetti and they were out of spaghetti. Interesting basic ingredient to be short on here, but rice was not a bad substitute. Would definitely come back here if ever back in Chicago!

The music kept disconnecting and cutting out, completely ruining the atmosphere. If your restaurant automatically adds gratuity for parties of five or more, DECLARE IT CLEARLY UPFRONT. Don't wait until customers are leaving to explain it. We had already tipped, but our waiter actually ran outside to tell us it wasn't enough because it HAD TO BE AT LEAST 18% GRATUITY. Forcing an 18% gratuity after providing terrible service and mid food is unacceptable. Be transparent about your policies from the start instead of putting customers in an awkward situation after the meal.

Be prepared to wait a little bit for a table, or share a big one with another party at peak times. Prices are reasonable and portions are pretty generous. ===== Kind of lost count of how many times I've been. Love getting the dim sum and noodle dishes here. Some favorites: beef cheong fun with egg, siu mai, Singapore noodle, xo rice noodle rolls, spare ribs, pork and century egg congee. All the food has been very solid. Inside is always bustling and can be a bit crowded. Service is pretty friendly as far as Chinatown goes, and very efficient. There's a guy who works there who I think is the manager or something, because he puts in 200x effort and is always hustling. When he's not around it feels like something is missing. Prices are very reasonable and we like ordering a lot here so that we have tasty leftovers for later. This place has quite a few big tables and is good for large groups. My only nits are that very occasionally a dish or teacup will have a dirty spot, and that the bubble tea here is kind of meh. I don't remember exactly which one I ordered, but it was a little watery and lacking in flavor. It's also probably tough since they're boxed in by boba places now. Pro tip: When you first get your table, they'll ask you what kind of tea you want. If you ignore them or don't know how to answer, the default is green tea. Another one is to come at off-peak times. Not only will you get a table faster, but I think they tweak their portion sizes depending on how crowded it is. Definitely will be back! And I recommend you visit too
