Kenny's Chinese food

I went there tonight with a girlfriend and we had some great food. I started with egg drop soup and she opted for the shrimp spring rolls. Then for the main course I ordered shrimp lo mein and my friend had the pineapple, shrimp fried rice. There was so much food we split the dishes and even had enough for a box each to take home. The food was hot and arrived very quickly.

After dinner we went to watch the sunset at Alfred's. The sun was just setting as we arrived. Unfortunately it set into a cloud bank. The funny shape is the sun peeking out of the clouds. There were some boats moored for the night around.

On our walk back the moon was almost full.

During my two weeks in negril, we had Kenny's 3 times!
It was great each time!

Niiice! I love Chinese food where are they located? After a few days I crave my usuals from home like Burger King, Pasta & Chinese. 😊

Does anyone know if they do Take Out or Delivery? I heard good things and want to try it when I get down there if they are open during October.

They are next to hidden paradise, you have to go just inside the hotel entrance and go up the stairs.

They do take out but even if you get there at the time told there is a very long wait.

The food is really good

Virtually all restaurants offer take out. Very few offer delivery. This can be currently handled by a taxi/bike driver who is willing to pick it up for you. You call your order in and then when it arrives, you call again to make sure that the order was picked up. With Kenny's this is much less an issue, there are few Chinese restaurants.

Kenney himself delivered our food within 45 minutes of ordering and brought his machine for a cc transaction. Charges 100j for delivery. We had an opportunity to talk about life in Jamaica from his point of view! Very interesting young man.

We went there last year in April but it was like a furnace so we did not stay to eat,do they have ac now

Bill Donna, they had fans but I didn't see any A/C. We sat in the left corner at the back and there were breezes blowing through.

They had A/C when we were there in March. The unit was on the back wall near the ceiling if I remember correctly. A year ago when we were there it was very warm and stuffy with fans going full blast. Incidentally we were prepared for a long wait for our food like last year but we had our meals in 10 or 15 minutes. The food is so good it is worth waiting for.

Is this the same Kenny that used to be next to Travellers?

Yep. It's the same guy that used to be in front of Erol's, HarryS.

The name of the place is actually Keney's, but I think they must be used interchangeably. (like so many others in Negril with multiple names) ;)

We have eaten there many times (both locations) and were never once disappointed.

We ordered delivery from Keney's when he was at the old location. Very efficient and affordable, although it took a few minutes to explain to them where Sea Grape Villas was. We ordered 2 entrees and had plenty left over for another meal. Its a great option for those days when you just want to have quiet meal on your veranda.

Do anyone have his contact info for delivery?

So yummy!!!!! Love Keney's!

Moose - when I saw the menu I didn't know what to get. It is huge! I settled for shrimp lo mein which was really good. I will definitely go back.

To all those who like this place, does that hold if you can get really good Chinese food at home?

I got General Ching's chicken only because I love General Tso's chicken back home and it wasn't super, but I'd go back again. It was good, and plentiful.

There's a lot of Chinese in Jamaica...Keney better be cooking it up right. ;)

Anyhooo...I've really enjoyed his food and find many of the dishes comparable to other restaurants...some dishes better, some very similar or less so...of course just based on what I'm used to eating in Chinese etc cooking.

Moose...General Tso's chicken is yummy but an American version of Chinese food...not sure how well or if Keney would make this dish. :confused:

Much of the menu is a lot different than the Chinese food we get back home. I don't remember the name of the entree I ordered, but it was a spicy noodle dish with chicken. My wife had something with shrimp. Both were seasoned with flavors unlike anything I have had in the US. Add to that the fresh Jamaican vegetables and meat used by Keney, and it is a worthy dinner option. Personally, for me, this is a place to call for delivery when we don't feel like going out. Don't know if I would go out of my way to eat in the restaurant.

In my neighborhood back home, we have one of the top 50 Chinese Restaurants in the country (Han Dynasty). Does Keney's compare? Not really, but it is a good option to keep in mind when in Negril.

When I want really good Chinese food at home, I go to a small place in China Town. Is Kenny's the same? No. But his food is quite good and better than local take out places at home.

Last time I was there they had AC

I think his food is good, but like most places , it has this small twist that only Jamaica can add , and it is a GOOD twist. It is not classic Chinese like back home, but it WORKS.
