Ken's Seafood - Philadelphia

Food: I used to only come here for karaoke, but the regular dine in menu is absolutely fantastic. I come here maybe every other month, and I always leave satisfied. Last night some friends and I were craving honey walnut shrimp and salted fish fried rice and it did not disappoint. The honey walnut shrimp was plump and luscious. The salted fish fried rice was also delicious. The bits of salted shrimp and seafood elevate the fried rice drastically. This is always a must for me when I eat here. I am always surprised by the quality and consistency of the food here despite how large the menu selection is a true testament of cantonese mastery. They can take all my money honestly. Honey walnut shrimp: 5/5 Salted fish fried rice: 5/5 Service: The food comes out very quick and they open pretty late too which is nice after a night out. Ambience: Very no frills and what you would expect from a typical cantonese seafood joint. There's way too many fish in their fish tanks and there's always someone cutting heaps of green beans on the table.

Okay guys... I'm back! I wanted to be apart of the controversy between Kens and David's salt and pepper shrimp. I've tried David's before and I was not impressed at all as the shrimp were soggy by the time I got home and the breading is a lot thicker, more of a tempura style as& P shrimp but I recently had the chance to try Kens S&P shrimp and babyyyyyyy they were spot on and exactly what I was looking for! I will say that the shrimp were soggy when I got home and didn't taste nearly as good as they did when they came out to the table but my vote is for Kens... Y'all can keep David's across the street lol

Love the food. Hate that you have to stare at the poor, cramped fish, turtles, lobsters. It actually makes me sad and looks cruel. I only get take out sometimes the guilt gets to me before I am able to order : I hope they cover the tanks or something in the future.

Our dinner here was not bad some of the neighboring restaurants looked really busy, and there wasn't much of a line here. They were also serving a large banquet/party upstairs, so it's definitely still a popular place. Overall, the sea food dishes were fresh and prepared pretty quickly. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Good food, extremely fresh seafood, crab is amazing. Open late food for after bar hopping. Owner's always friendly. Only minus is I've been there too much so I want to go somewhere else for variety.
