KC Cafe And Takeaway sits on Courtenay Place in Te Aro, Wellington, serving Asian and Chinese cuisine with a menu that's substantially larger than most — well over a hundred dishes across entrees, BBQ meats, soups, claypots, stir-fries, steamboat, and noodle and rice dishes. Customers rate the restaurant 4.5, and ordering is done online for pickup.
The backbone of the menu is Cantonese-style BBQ: soya chicken, roast duck, crispy roast pork, and honey BBQ pork ribs, all served on rice or combined into two- or three-meat combination plates. From there, the menu expands into a large claypot section — dishes like lamb flap with taro in coconut cream, beef brisket, and salted fish and chicken with tofu, all served in the traditional clay pot format that keeps dishes cooking at the table.
The stir-fried section is the largest on the menu, running from familiar Sichuan-style dishes like Mapo Tofu and Sichuan Chicken through to king prawn, squid, and fish dishes cooked in satay, chilli bean, or black bean sauces. For something more communal, the steamboat section offers hot and spicy pots built around beef, lamb, fish, or pork maw and chicken, designed for sharing.
Beyond the core Chinese menu, KC Cafe pulls in dishes from across Southeast Asia — Nasi Goreng and Mee Goreng from Malaysia, Curry Laksa, Roti Chanai, Singapore Fried Noodle, Vietnamese Style Beef Noodle Soup, and Pad Thai — making it a genuinely pan-Asian stop rather than a single-cuisine restaurant.
According to the restaurant's own ordering data, its top sellers are the Deep Fried Wonton, Deep Fried Squid, Crispy Roast Pork on Rice, BBQ Pork Bun, Orange Beef or Chicken, and the Grill Pork Dumplings — a mix of small bites and BBQ classics that gives a good sense of where to start on a first order.
Congee is available in three styles — pork and preserved egg, fish, or seafood — alongside a page of soups and starters covering everything from chicken sweet corn soup to pig ears and duck feet in chilli sauce for more adventurous eaters. To finish, the drinks and dessert list includes Hong Kong-style milk tea and coffee, lemon tea variations, soya milk, and desserts like deep fried banana with ice cream, tofu far, and deep fried milk cube.
The menu also marks dietary information where relevant, using GF (Gluten Free), V (Vegetarian), SF (Sugar Free), and DF (Dairy Free) labels, helping diners with specific requirements navigate the extensive list.
Orders are placed directly through the restaurant's website, which supports secure online payment via Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal, with pickup available from the Courtenay Place location.
