Kevin's Kitchen

People should be lining up to eat here, the pan seared dumplings were to die for and the server was a joy to talk to. We will definitely be back here next time we are in town.

The food was extremely mediocre. The fried noodle was not authentic in any way. The noodle soup may have been home made but that doesn’t mean it was any good by any standard. Pass on this one.

Stopped by this small Chinese restaurant on our way to Banff.
I saw an overall good rating but some comments saying their food was not authentic Chinese food.

It turns out they have 'real' Chinese food that is not usually seen in Canada.

It was a pleasant surprise for us.
Three of us, who are authentic Chinese, did enjoy our authentic Chinese food.

The restaurant is quite clean as well as the washroom.
The waitress/owner was very nice.

It's not easy to cook authentic Chinese meals in a small Canadian town.
My appreciations to the owner of this restaurant.

Truly authentic homemade northern Chinese food. Don’t come here if you expect westernized Chinese food. There are no extra grease, MSG, nor added sweeteners. One thing worth understanding is that this place is authentic down to the proportion of meat vs starch. Traditionally Chinese food see meat as an accompaniment, not the main course, so in a given dish, it can be 80% starch, 15% veggie and 5% meat - the proportion of starch: veg: meat that I found in the noodle soup dish and chow mein here. Please bear this in mind when visiting and you’ll enjoy a most authentic meal here.

Tiny&cute restaurant. We had the dumplings (beef&carrot) and they were really delicious. We can also recommend the vegetable noodles and beef shank. Friendly waitress.

For Swiss people: es isch sehr fein:)

This is fake Chinese cuisine. Don't come. Very unauthentic, don't come. The portion is very small, there are 12 wontons in a bowl, each filling is about the size of an index finger, and even my six-year-old daughter can't get enough. The soups of the simmered noodles and wontons have the same soy sauce flavor, and I admire the originality of the boss.

We went their for diner, there were only 8 other people there so there were not a lot of people in the restaurant.
We ordered our food, service was fast, food was really good, it was a very limited menu but so good. The owners (husband and wife) were the ones making the food, the wife served it. She talked to us like we had been there a few times but it was our first time. We woukd definitely go back again.

All the food we ordered was rich in flavour, made very well. The hostess was super nice and our food came in a timely manner.

I love finding places that are new to us and that's what Kevin's Kitchen was.
We actually found it by accident, wandering the streets of Revelstoke and decided to pop in for dinner.
The menu is small, which I appreciate. There are only 2 people working in the restaurant - I assumed Kevin and his partner. He cooks, she serves and busses. A small menu means they can concentrate on their menu items and they do them well.
These are "real" Chinese dishes - well maybe not the chow mein, but there's no pineapple chicken balls here.

We had a great meal. Such a good find in Revelstoke.

Love this home style cooking. Great space, with nice people. We got a bit of everything on the menu and all the items were very authentic and clearly home made.

Some of the best food in Revy! Absolutely delicious dumplings and noodle dishes. Good vegetarian/vegan options and the owners are so lovely. A hidden gem!

Amazing food and friendly service. The first night, I had the pork and cabbage dumplings pan fried and the soup with chicken and rice noodles. So satisfying and delicious. So good I went back the next day again for dinner. I had the pork and carrot dumplings pan fried and the chow mein with flour noodles and chicken. Incredibly flavorful and filling. Highly recommend!

I tend to find the food a little blend. The dumplings are homemade and fresh. I think this place is run by a wife and a husband. I see the wife taking orders and then go back and help the husband with the food orders. It's cute but the service was a bit slow.

Summary: Kind of a weird place to dine in, but great food, friendly service, and good value. More detail: I visited on a Tuesday night around 6: 30pm. There are only a handful of tables, most of them seating 6 people, and the interior has a somewhat barren feel, like a commercial space. Almost everything is white, and it seems like the place just opened recently and has not been fully fit-out. More color / decoration on the walls would go a long way towards providing a more comfortable and traditional restaurant feel. I only noticed 2 people working there: the woman who is the host/server/busser & appears to assist with food prep, and the man (cook) in the kitchen. Perhaps it is a couple who are fulfilling the roles of owners and all staff simultaneously. Regardless, the result is that the entire experience of entering, being greeted, being seated, ordering, receiving food and paying is a bit slow and awkward. I was a solo diner at a table which could seat 4 people. I noticed a few groups of 2-3 people enter the restaurant and appear confused as to where they should sit as the only options were tables which could seat 6 people. I mentioned to the woman (owner? Waitress? Hostess?) that they ought to get some tables which can be subdivided for smaller groups in order to accommodate more customers. Also, the quantity of dishes available on the menu is quite small, especially for a chinese food restaurant. I suspect the owners' intent is to only offer dishes that they can consistently make well and provide high quality food, and I am ok with that. Anyways. I ordered the brown rice tea, fried dumplings and pork & cabbage noodle soup. My food came out reasonably quickly, but I noticed others who arrived after me waiting for a while for their food. That said, my food was excellent! I am used to high quality Asian food back home, and this meal did not disappoint. Also, the price I paid for the meal was quite reasonable compared to other meals I have had in town. Had I been in town longer, I would have definitely considered returning to try some of the other dishes on the menu, or perhaps gotten take-out. Clearly this place would do well to have at least 1 additional person on staff as a hostess & server, more effort towards interior decoration, more options for seating, and perhaps a slightly larger menu. However, I enjoyed my meal here and recommend giving it a shot.

Tastes like home, very authentic northern style Chinese cuisine. I highly recommend to try their pan fried dumplings. They made dumplings from scratch so they are much better than the frozen ones you can get from grocery stores. The dumplings skin is crispy and chewy, the fillings are juicy and fresh. Great place for warm and hearty food.

I would give this spot 0 and I didn’t even get to eat. We walked in at 5: 45 for a table of two, basically completely empty restaurant with only one table. We were told we could sit but it would be 45 minutes from when we order because of take out, without even getting the menus on the table? You have a restaurant that services in house guests. I asked are you telling me you serve door dash over dining guests? The answer was yes! What a joke, it’s time to bust out the restaurant common sense handbook. Don’t waste your time because the restaurant looks like a diner and I can’t imagine what it would be like if you actually had in house guests! 4 hour wait?

The taste of the noodle dishes we had was excellent but I would have liked to see more veggies in there. We ordered chicken chow mein with vermicelli noodles and chicken chow mein with flour noodles

I came in for dinner - they had received a 12 dish order and quite slow that night.i didn't mind 'cause they gave a heads up and were apologetic about it.plus, it looked like i was going to enjoy some home cooked food.and that's always heartwarming

when the wonton soup finally came, i devoured it.when the fuzhu finally came, i devoured it too

great hospitality, great food here

Pork/cabbage dumplings and wonton soup were great. Yes, maybe a little pricey for what it is but it’s clean homemade food made by Chinese locals who are trying to run a small business ffs. Service was nice and food came out fast.
These people complaining about the broth have been ruined by westernized Chinese food that is loaded with salt and/or msg. I appreciated the natural flavors and it not being too salty. If you like spicy make sure to try their chili oil, it goes well with these dishes and adds nice flavor.
