" After hearing mixed reviews, we decided to try Ken's Restaurant last weekend. The atmosphere was cozy, but unfortunately, that was the best part. My almond chicken was deeply fried and lacked flavour, while the fried rice tasted like it had been made days ago. My family tried various dishes, and we all came to the same conclusion - the food was bland and seemed more like a fast-food version of Chinese cuisine than authentic cooking. We won't be going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Ken's Restaurant and left quite disappointed. The authentic flavors I was expecting from a Chinese restaurant were missing. The chow mein noodles seemed to be standard pasta rather than traditional Chinese noodles, and the chicken was rubbery. I had high hopes for the sweet and sour pork, but it was overly sweet and lacked the tanginess you usually find. Despite the unappealing food, I have to say that the service was friendly and attentive. But overall, I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ken's Restaurant was very underwhelming. The service was friendly, and the place was clean, but the food just didn’t cut it. The chicken fried rice I ordered didn’t have any real flavor, and the chicken seemed cheap and frozen. I expect more from a Chinese restaurant, especially in a town like ours where good Chinese food is cherished. I won’t be coming back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for decent take-out, Ken's Restaurant could fit the bill. I found the chicken chow mein satisfactory, but the rest of my order seemed typical without any distinct flavors. The portions were average, and I felt the prices were a bit higher for the quality. I might stop by again for quick take-out, but it won’t be my first choice in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Ken’s was okay. The food didn’t meet my expectations, the chow mein was just mediocre and lacked depth. The restaurant itself is nice and the service was quick. If you're in a rush and only need something to fill you up, fine but it’s not a memorable place. I’d rather drive a bit further for authentic options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Ken's Restaurant is a local disappointment. I was excited after hearing about it but my meal was downright bad. The spring rolls were satisfactory but the main dishes were unappealing. The chicken was rubbery and the sauces felt generic. The service was personable, but at the end of the day, food quality matters the most. I left hungry and unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent takeout experience with Ken's, but I can't say it was complicated. The pork chop suey was actually enjoyable, but everything else seemed average and lacking any flair. Service was polite, but if you're wanting something more, I would not recommend going here. It’s just not that special compared to alternatives around. " (*Curated Review*)
