The food is not the same since the new ownership. I get it, every chef needs to put their signature on their food but you should have stuck with a good thing. I was a 20 year customer with Canton and now without a good Chinese take out restaurant. I am saddened.

Extremely impressed with how well they accommodate a gluten allergy. I’m always so happy with my meal. It’s a must stop place for me whenever I pass through red deer

The food has changed at Canton kitchen since new owners took over and not for the better. We weren't happy when we ordered over Christmas 2024, but thought we'd give them another try since its been our go to place for 20 years. Unfortunately, will never order from here again. It was way worse than last time. The ginger beef had a yellow coating on it which was weird looking and chewy. The sweet and sour pork was too chewy to eat. The chicken fried rice was just white rice and scrambled egg and tiny bits of chicken with no flavour at all. It just tasted like white rice. The broccoli was mushy and the lemon chicken was really dark brown from being over cooked in the frier. I wish there was a zero star option. Friendly delivery guy though, he gets 5 stars. We let the restaurant know that it wasn't satisfactory and the manager said maybe it's just our taste buds.

One of the best restaurants in red deer. The authenticity of the foods are really good mostly the sweet and sour pork and fried wanton like there's no other chinese restaurants can make it. Totally recommended!

Very friendly staff, great food that is freshly prepared, very quick to serve my order. They tailored my order in seasoning and spices. I recommend trying Canton Kitchen. You won't be disappointed.

Delivery so didn’t go in. We are here last night the food is amazing ( it is the old fusion cook if you know this place) fresh, lots, reasonable for what you get. We can eat for 3+ days. And so nice

We have ordered from here for a very long time our go to spot. Last time food was not great but was ok to eat . But this time was bad . For the 80.00 not good. Dry ribs very over cooked . Hard as a rock . Chicken balls where over cooked. Very hard and dark. Sauce for them tasted old and was off colored. Spring rolls over cooked as well. Had waited for about 50 mins for food . No biggie there. But had very hungry kids to feed. So got them set up with the rice and a couple of chicken balls that were not over cooked. Then called . Was told that if there was anything taken then there was nothing they could do. And I had to give all the food that was bad back . Ok. So I got the rib replaced tooked a hour to get . And still not great .I am very sad to say this is the last time we will be getting food there. And will not recommend.

Had their take out yesterday. Delicious!!!! I can taste the “wok hey “ in the fried rice (a taste and smell that’s really hard to obtain, food has to be cook at a very high temperature and very fast to get a sizzling- Smokey flavor). All the containers were stuff packed!!!! For two ppl with three dishes had tons of left over for the next day. I also I can smell a very sweet and gingery from the ginger beef, made with real ginger ( hence the name ginger beef). It stayed crunchy and full of flavour even after the following day. Sorry no pictures. I was to hungry.
Reordered a week later. fried rice and ginger beef again. delicious and abundance of food. Added picture

I tried this place a few months ago and it was amazing… loved the food, you get a lot for your money and it tastes amazing. People working there are nice and friendly. I am hoping my experience last night was just a one off… maybe they were busy because it was NYE… but I ordered what I always order which was a dinner for one B with a side order of deep fried wontons. The only thing edible was the wontons, everything else was overcooked and chewy. It will be a while before I give them a try again.
Disappointed customer.

If you don’t wanna read a lot, scroll down to paragraph 5 for what we ordered with specific review and paragraph 6 for overall food review.
1. On New Years Eve at our get together we called our usual Chinese food restraunt to order at 5:15pm. They said they are not taking any more orders currently and we could try back in a couple hours but no guarantee on being able to order even then.
2. I did a google map search for Chinese Restaurant. It shows the star ratings under the names of each place. We debated about a few but didn’t like how greasy they are.
3. Came across Canton Kitchen and it had a 4.0 ⭐️. Which is about average for the decent restaurants. My usual is 4.2⭐️. I had eaten at Canton a few times about 20yrs ago when I worked nearby. It was good as far as I can remember. Cafe atmosphere. Upon calling they said it would take roughly 2 hours to get it delivered. Just grateful they were willing to do that so we ordered.
4. They have an excellent diner for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc… options. They have basic included items then you choose a certain number of items from a large list of options.
5. We had dinner for 4 (for party of 3) ordering 3 items from the large list of options. On top of the automatically included base items; spring rolls (option of egg rolls or fried wontons also), chicken fried rice (lots of flavor and no grease and sweet and sour chicken balls (look homemade with a large piece of chicken in each). We got ginger beef (very slight heat and tender with some fresh onions), chicken chow main (had lots of bean sprouts and veggies and could order this as a meal on its own.) and beef broccoli (perfect ratio of tender beef and bright crunchy broccoli.m).
6. I got to say the food was absolutely amazing! All of us absolutely loved it. Completely not greasy, veggies still had a little crunch, large portions (enough for 3 full meals after eating our supper), flavorful and still so hot upon delivery despite being a 15 minute drive to my home and -18°.
7. It took about 2:20 to get the food. Just 20 minutes over the estimate. The kind lady was very grateful for the $40 tip. We tipped large as it was New Years Eve. Canton Kitchen is our new go to for Chinese food!!!
