Description

Nestled in El Cajon, this restaurant presents a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons rave about the generous portions and delightful ramen bowls, others express disappointment over the service and food quality. Common complaints include overcooked chicken, stale egg rolls, and a lack of attentiveness from staff. Several diners noted the atmosphere was less than inviting, with issues such as cleanliness and awkward smells. Despite the praises for certain dishes, many feel there are healthier dining options nearby that offer superior service and meals. This restaurant may leave you with more questions than cravings, making a visit feel more hit-or-miss than expected.

Kips is permanently closed. When I called to place an order, the person who answered the phone informed me that the business has shut down and the owner is retiring. Yelp should update the listing for Kips Cafe in El Cajon to reflect this closure. I will miss their delicious egg rolls and the super tasty Kung Pao chicken, which were our go-to orders. I wish the owner the best in retirement, but it would have been nice to see a sign announcing the last day of business.

Pretty bummed, I've lived up the street for a few years and had always wanted to try the food.So my girl and I swing by for a quick meal and man we're we unhappy with our experience... for starters the tables were Gros s feeling and looking... place had an awkward smell to it and the food was poor, we would have been better off just going to panda or something similar.

The service is also lacking. When there are only 4-5 diners, it shouldn't just be a matter of taking orders and dropping off the food. You can forget about them checking in on you, refilling empty glasses, or asking how the food is. It's puzzling that they've been in business for so long. There are plenty of other healthy dining options in El Cajon with excellent service and meals that won't leave you reaching for Pepto-Bismol afterward.

I'm indeed very grateful to have come in contact with a Bitcoin, Forex/Crypto honest and expert trader-Mrs. Meghan Haffey. She is a skilled professional trader and the best among traders as her clients all said. She managed my trading account after I Invested $1500 and got a successful withdrawal of $14,200 within 6 days of my investment, and up-till now, am still still shocked and surprised because it always seems impossible until it was done by Mrs. Meghan Haffey.
