Canton Chinese Restaurant

A restaurant called The Canton used to be on Simpson street and it was the best I've ever had. I was at Shopper's on Arthur and saw the Canton restaurant tucked in a small spot in the little strip mall. I had to try it so we did a couple days later.the quality of the food is not even close to what the old one used to be.too bad because when the original was on Simpson street the owner had his sons working there too. I don't know if this is the same family, but I remember the food changed a little after the Dad passed away and the restaurant on Simpson closed down because people just stopped going after the food and service changed.

We went here for the first time today and had dim sum. It was very tasty, and the owners were very friendly. We'll definitely be back.

I highly recommend the dim sum weekends. Service was great and the food was prepared well. Great job.

Great food and exceptional cutomer service, food is amazing and they are quick to bring out your orders. Weekdays have great chinese food while on the weekends you can order from their dim-sum menu which is great to share with others! Amazing local store with great owners, be sure to pay this place a visit.

Not worth the $$$ for the portions and food had very minimal flavour. I am a very qualified chef in Asian cuisine and a fair judge when it comes to food but ordering from here was disappointing. When ordering a main course (ex. Schezuan Chicken) most restaurants offer steamed rice on the side. This place puts the rice WITH the main course as a loophole to skimping out on the chicken. Fried rice is also very lumpy and wet. Terrible. Will not order again.

Should I or should I visit the Canton? Well of course! Dimsum weekend is to die for if you’re looking for the best steamed buns in town and more on their weekday menu. Amazing locally owned by a very generous Chinese family and stellar food… this should obviously 5 stars in everyone’s books!

Went on a Friday - got a regular menu item

Flavour was fine. Not bad, but nothing making me want to come back or try more items

Portions however were atrocious - 80-90% veg, I’m not convinced there was even a full serving of meat in my dish

Finished my meal still hungry - for $20+

2 stars because the service was nice and it’s not like the food was atrocious or even bad. It was fine, just nothing I’d come back for
