640 Crespi Dr Pacifica, CA 94044 I was recently At Kenny's Cafe for a family gathering, and the service and food were just excellent. I ordered the Wor Won Ton Soup, and it was really good. It was loaded with plump dumplings, lots of meats and small shrimps, and chopped veggies. I asked for chopsticks, but they weren't needed. I could enjoy this steaming bowl of won ton soup with just the chinese soup spoon provided. The Mgr was super friendly and came out to say hello and talk about the restaurant. Truly a local success story.

A true hole in the wall gem. Everything we tried was very good and I was pleasantly surprised with Kenny's fish. The fish was light but the breading was flavorful. The server was very patient and kind. I would definitely come back again!

Love this place! I use to eat here all the time growing up in Pacifica. I returned recently after being gone for about 10 years and was thrilled to see that they are still open and making amazing food. This is hands down one of the best restaurants in town food is so good, portions are large and the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend Kenny's deep fried chicken in sweet spicy garlic sauce as it's one of my favorite dishes. Enjoy!

Ok Kenny...... dropped by here for lunch just because it looked like a super hole in the wall. I was not expecting to actually be impressed so much that I'm going back for dinner. Had a burger to try the American food and chow fun to try the Chinese. Both were good and didn't leave me thirsty like some Chinese places does. Service is spot on especially for a Chinese restaurant. This place is clean too!

Dropped by here for dinner the other night, and it was exactly what we wanted - authentic Chinese food and friendly service. Food came out quickly and was eagerly devoured. The shrimp in lobster sauce wasn't my favorite here, but otherwise it was a good meal.

Kenny's Cafe is authentic, no frills, hometown Chinese food. Situated in a small commercial center with plenty of parking in the sleepy beach town of Pacifica, the restaurant's been family owned and operated in the exact same building for at least two decades. In that time, they've cultivated a reputation among locals as a reliable, friendly establishment with quality food and service. I went with my girlfriend for lunch on a cold and rainy weekday in the winter, and was greeted and seated instantly. Before we could even ask, our server offered hot Jasmine tea, which was perfect for a day like that. After reviewing the menu we decided on a couple classics: hot and sour soup to start, and pork chow mein and kung pao chicken for our main entrees. The food is delicious. It isn't over seasoned or over spiced the way some Chinese food that tries to pander to foreigners is, it's subtle and tasty and consistent. It might have been the cold and rainy day that I was there, but the hot and sour soup was particularly amazing, even compared to some of the bougier Chinese spots in the bay area. The pork chow mein had thin slices of pork in it, with a soy sauce drizzle that made the noodles soft (not overly) and perfect to combine with the kung pao chicken. If you're looking for a solid, consistent, easy to enjoy place with a chill vibe, Kenny's is your spot.
