Kip's Caffe - El Cajon

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.

The food was average, nothing to write home about, but the most shocking part was when my daughter discovered a roach in her meal. This was our first and definitely our last time ordering from here. I’m completely disgusted by this place. Make sure to check your food if you decide to eat here, and I really hope their kitchen is sanitary.

Definitely the best place in town! Just need to get some air conditioning in there!
