Kenton Asian

Kenton Asian is a restaurant at 5 Kenton Road in Kenton-on-Sea, Eastern Cape, centred on Asian cuisine in a carefully designed and renovated setting. The menu draws on a broad range of familiar Asian-inspired formats, with light starters, filled bao, curries, stir-fries and desserts. It offers options for a relaxed meal, a more substantial dinner or a shared dining occasion.

Small plates such as spring rolls provide an easy starting point, while the main menu moves towards fuller dishes with fragrant sauces, vegetables, rice and noodles. Bao bring a softer, filled option, and the stir-fries offer a hot, freshly prepared style of meal. Curries add a richer choice, while the dessert selection provides a sweet finish. The range makes Kenton Asian suitable for diners who prefer to sample several items as well as those looking for a complete main course.

Breakfast and lunch are also part of the restaurant’s offering on Sundays. Breakfast includes familiar choices such as bacon and eggs alongside more distinctive options, with French toast among the sweeter selections. Barista-made coffee complements the morning menu. This gives the venue a broader role than an evening restaurant, with a setting that can work for a slow breakfast, a daytime meal or an Asian-inspired dinner.

The interior is described as elegant and thoughtfully decorated, creating an intimate atmosphere for dining. The restaurant also has a purpose-built, multifunctional space for private functions and gatherings. Its event offering suits occasions such as tasting events, wine pairings, book clubs and other celebrations, with the layout adaptable to both seated and standing arrangements. The venue’s character combines restaurant dining with a dedicated space for hosted events.

Kenton Asian suits couples, friends, families and groups looking for a restaurant with several meal periods and a menu that moves beyond a single style of Asian food. Breakfast provides familiar comfort, while lunch and dinner offer more varied flavours and shareable formats. Advance table bookings are sensible for diners planning an evening meal or a group occasion, particularly when a private function or special gathering is involved.
