Go here if...

  • You want a classic Chinese takeaway near Brook Street rather than another pub meal.
  • You are staying station-side, walking home hungry or feeding a room that wants foil trays and no ceremony.
  • You like the familiar order: sweet and sour, chow mein, fried rice, salt and pepper bits, curry sauce and set dinners.
  • You can collect and get the food back before the chips lose the will to live.
  • You need evening food, not a long sit-down meal.

Skip it if...

  • You want regional Chinese cooking or a special restaurant night.
  • You need dine-in seating, toilets or table service.
  • You are relying on contactless payment without checking direct first.
  • You need guaranteed step-free seating, because this is not that kind of venue.
  • You want food that photographs better than it eats.

Order online or by phone, then collect if you are nearby. Check payment options before relying on one card or contactless.

What it's like

Ken's Kitchen is a Brook Street Chinese takeaway with delivery and collection, evening hours and the familiar British-Chinese menu most people already know how to order from.

Ken's Kitchen is not trying to be a polished dining room. It is the Brook Street Chinese takeaway for nights when you want hot boxes, fast decisions and enough food to make breakfast complicated.

Its usefulness is location and format: close to the station side, open in the evening, with a menu that knows exactly what people mean when they say they just want a Chinese.

Worth knowing

Ken's Kitchen is a classic takeaway, not a food pilgrimage. Use it when comfort, portions and Brook Street convenience matter. For a special meal, spend your effort elsewhere.
