Ken's Seafood - Philadelphia

I’ve been a regular of Ken’s for years. Quality Chinese food that’s on par with the best of Chinatown here and of other major cities. I also appreciate the late night open hours!

Kens seafood has consistently the best Chinese take out I've had. My go to's are the salt baked pork ribs, house fried rice, and pan fried dumplings. With some extra rice cooked on the side at home, this is a usual feast for me and my best friends.

Came here for Chinese New Year on reservation. Really glad that despite them being busy, kitchen staff still made the food taste great with the exception of the jellyfish. Unfortunately, The jellyfish came out bland. Portions seemed to be smaller but I'm not sure if that's due to it being the holidays.We were seated in a private karaoke room with an included private restroom. The place is a lil run down since it's hard to renovate in a busy place such as Chinatown.Bill came out to be $320 for a party of 8; $40 each. They prefer being paid in cash.

We all hang out here often? Although the environment here is an old style Asian restaurant. So the food is not bad, about the attitude of the service is so-so lol, cuz sometimes they are nice but sometimes they are···Food: 2/5

If I could give this 0 stars I would and I’m not typically a review person but this genuinely bothered me. Not only did I call over a week in advance to book a karaoke room, I was treated with the upmost disrespect for no good reason. I called about 5-6 times just to confirm the room and was consistently told to call the next week on Wednesday or Thursday when the party would be that Saturday. When I called Wednesday I was then told to call Thursday and I did, but the price suddenly changed. I was originally told $250 the week prior for 20 people but only a few days before the price suddenly changed. Then upon getting to the place where I specifically booked from 8-10 I was told to wait a few minutes with my entire party where we took up the downstairs area and after 10-15 minutes we were told to “Explore Chinatown” despite having a very clear booking for this place. From what it seemed like I was not taken seriously because I was Black and it seemed like an easier way to take advantage of me because smaller parties were prioritized and came in without problem (who were all Asian). After waiting over an hour for our room he still tried to give us the same amount of time and I asked for an additional hour, due to the consistent waiting and he agreed. When we got to the room we noticed that we had the smallest room in the building and that was my last straw. We had not only waited almost an hour after booking time but also got the smallest room for almost 20 people? After asking about another room we were told that there is nothing he could do and that we could just leave if we had a problem with it. Keep in mind a bigger room had way less than 20 people in it, but we were told it’s first come first serve despite being there on time and having booked the room in advanced where he assured that the room wouldn’t be taken by anyone else. There was no effort on this man’s end to accommodate and the only way that we got some kind of wiggle room and better service is because of my friends trying to talk to the workers to see what they could do and they were lovely. Despite me thinking Ken’s was great it seems that they are a racist unprofessional facility. The moral of the story here is that if you aren’t Asian and try to book a room here be very careful because it seems like he looks down on anyone who isn’t.
