Ken Ching restaurant offers an authentic cuisine for people who love Chinese foods. The chef's home-style cooking will certainly satisfy customers looking for exotic flavors of Canton and Szechuan's dishes. Located in a mall with parking lot, Ken Ching's large dining room and its friendly staff provide a warm welcome for family gatherings and special occasions.
Ken Ching is described as offering authentic, classic Chinese flavors with standout items like peanut butter dumplings, General Tao, and Szechuan shrimp; many diners note fresh ingredients, fast takeout, generous combos, and a welcoming, reasonably priced dining experience. Some visits mention inconsistencies such as small portions, sesame beef that is breaded and chewy, less satisfying egg rolls, and service or kitchen timing issues, including closures on weekends that frustrate guests. Overall, Ken Ching is seen as a strong, traditional option in Laval, delivering a nostalgic Cantonese style menu that compares well to higher end or more generic venues, with many guests planning to return despite occasional drawbacks.
One of the better Chinese restaurants I would almost give it a 5 stars. I had a 2 person combo we shared me & my friend we had a large gathering. The peanut butter dumplings were very fresh very delicious. The food itself was as fresher than most Chinese restaurants. I just had to minus 1 star just simply for their sesame beef. I was expecting tender strips of beef with sesame & nice & chewy instead they fry it & it taste exactly like a general tao chicken. So overall it was very good I would come back. Service was great just low staff they bring the table entrees before taking everyone's order. But overall it was as good & it didn't take long to receive the fresh food.
Recent visit. The upkeep on the place is non existent. Still the same way it has been since the opening. Food tasteless. Service/greeting non existent. General Tao chicken is full of fat & only dark meat. Fried rice was burnt & tasted awful. Price is insanely high for the low quality food & small portions. Salt & pepper shrimp tasteless with yet another burnt taste to it.
I recommended this place when it first opened & would talk highly about it being close or even similar to Kam Shing quality.
Ken Ching realy needs to step up several notches in order to meet the original standards that they had back when they opened.

Best hot & sour soup.
Peanut butter dumplings were melt in your mouth.
General Tso chicken was overly breaded but delicious.
Szechuan shrimp was perfect. Spicy & saucy.
Service was pffft.
Still give them 4.8 out of 5
Excellent
we, 6 people, have been several times for New Year Eve 4:00 dinner, can't do late nights anymore. The food was very fresh, crisp vegetables, Salt & Pepper Shrimp were perfect, the Chowmein was amazing, General Tao Chicken delish, Crispy chicken was a little dry, Beef with broccoli very good, fried rice, very good, the peanut butter dumplings were scrumptious! It worked out to be $40. tip included, per person. Well worth it!
I have been here only 4 times, but each time was extremely satisfying. We were 10 people celebrating birthdays so were always order the special combo for the table. It includes soup, spring rolls & so many different dishes. My favourites are the beef n broccoli, the crispy chicken & the dumplings in peanut sauce. 👌🏻 The only reason I removed 1 star from the atmosphere is because it is noisy at times. But that's only because it's so very busy. In my opinion it's a really good sign if the restaurant is always packed. We did make reservations because we were so many people. We did add a couple of items to our order on top of the special combo just to be certain that we had enough. However the waiter was spot on with what we ordered & we left with full bellies all around! 😁 As you can see from all the empty plates.
Usually the food here is hot & fresh whether dining in or taking out. Tonight was not a good Night. Won ton soup was ok but not hot. Egg rolls were hard like a rock & were not fresh. The Wong wing egg rolls I buy at IGA are better. The main dishes came, also not very hot, didn't seem fresh, tasted ok, the general Tao chicken had no zing to it. It was more like pineapple chicken. It will be a long time before we return. In general, restaurants in laval are losing their appeal with poor quality & lack Lustre service.

Have been enjoying Ken's cooking here since January 2013. The restaurant is clean, with fabric beige coloured tablecloths. Ken always comes out of the kitchen to greet his customers & then returns to your table to make sure everything is just how you like it.
There are many "a la carte" dishes to choose from. The wonton soup is always hot with shrimp filled won tons. The hot & sour soup is good also. The egg rolls are full of pork & less cabbage with a pungent plum sauce. Last time we dined, we had sweet & & sour shrimp, comes with a very light batter coating, not to heavy., braised chicken in a pot, delicious. Also had the sesame chicken, & chicken fried rice. The dishes are generous, we are always four, & always have leftovers that they pack up for you. Prices are very reasonable. One dish I really like is the Cantonese noodles, I don't know how they make it, but it is better than others I've had most recently. Reservations not required & is also a BYOB. No uncorking fee, but I don't drink wine with Asian food. They have there own parking which makes things easier than going down to china town. Al al in all, strongly recommend to others.
