Kent's Kitchen - Vancouver

Real Chinatown atmosphere...lots of good choices and very delicious choices...great spot for a quick lunch break or picking up dinner on the way home...

Kent's Kitchen has been in Chinatown for a long time, lunch boxes for $ 4.25 was the deal back in the day. Today you can get two toppings over steamed rice for about $7. If you want to change to noodles or fried rice that will be extra.

At the time of my visit 4.10.2017 currency exchange rate was $1 US dollar =$1.3 Canadian dollarI purchased $20 Canadian dollars worth of foods. Ran out of Canadian currency. One of the clerks that was helping me said "we take US dollars ". Gave her $100 US dollars I was expecting to get back $110 Canadian dollars, however to my dismay she only gave me back $80 Canadian dollars. She told me US and Canadian are "equal".So I told her that either I take the foods and $110 Canadian dollars or I could leave the foods and get back my $100 US dollars.The clerk's answer was : "no you have to take the foods and the $80 Canadian dollars"My final review: day light robbery and terrible customer service.

Fabulous food, a touch greasy, but it's just right to fill you up! Fast service. Wide choice from menu.

This place is good for quick fill of chinese comfort food. Don't expect too much in the way of friendliness or atmosphere, it's more or less a whole in the wall with a long steam table on one side where they serve up the food WYSIWYG style. The food's pretty good though if you're on a budget one meal is enough to share for 2 people or eat some now and leftovers for later. If you're a picky eater or looking for special substitutions or have dietary needs this won't be the ideal place for you.
