The in town option for budget friendly American style Chinese food. The portions are generous for the current prices. Good crew!
Food is always hot. The broccoli is cooked perfectly every time. They are closed on Monday through.
Always delicious!!!
Had Chinese last night. Aweful, burp It up all night and felt nauseous this morning. Will never go back.
I miss my friend here, I used to work with him, play video games and eat food here. Fun times.
I ordered fried rice, and I had a very bad week, and I just wanted my fried rice. And spoke specifically to have my fried rice. And guess what? It wasn't in there. So I cried. Good food overall.
I can’t go back there. I walked in and ordered lo mein. While waiting, one cook stepped aside to blow his nose. Without washing his hands he walked over to a pile of lo mein noodles and used his bare hands to toss the whole pile of noodles to separate them before removing a portion to cook my order! I watched this happen and was shocked. If something like this happens it makes me wonder what other unsanitary things happen we don’t see.
GOOD FOOD AND PRICES! FRIENDLY SERVICE 👍🏾
November 2024 - Looking for a new Chinese place, we chose the Chinatown Restaurant in Canton. Checking out the online menu, some details were left out about some of the items, so I called before a family member picked up our takeout.
Very helpful, it sounded like the Chef himself as he was busy cooking, he told me they only had one dumpling, not a choice of vegetable or pork. They put both together. He also said the House Lo Mein consisted of shrimp, chicken and pork.
Our takeaways were as follows:
The egg roll and shrimp roll had the same crispy wrapping and were both good. The spring rolls were not to our family member's liking as they had what all of the Chinese places around us currently have which is a paste of some kind in the center. I will have to try these myself to see what they mean.
The wonton soup was very good. The right temperature, wonton dough not too dense, filling was pure and the broth was flavorful.
Their dumplings were also cooked expertly, but one family member found the combination unsatisfying as there wasn't either enough meat or vegetables to their liking. The rest of us enjoyed them, though I realize if you're a vegetarian you cannot get dumplings here as in other restaurants where they make both.
Mains: The winner was General Tso's chicken. I never order it, but so many people do and it always seems like a winner overall. The serving was plentiful, the chicken was tender with a soft coating and a little broccoli on the side, which is common with this dish.
The beef and broccoli also had tender meat, a good sauce and was a good portion size. The only negative was the broccoli stalks were too long and undercooked. A large container of well cooked white rice came to share with this meal and the Tso's chicken.
The House Lo Mein did not look anything to me like what I would get in California, but even after so many years back home in CT, I'm still adjusting to these differences. What looked like a container of brown noodles with a little bit of addons, I asked, is this mine? Yes, was the response as everyone was happy to run off with theirs. Fortunately, it tasted better than it looked presentation wise. Still, I could only have two servings before giving the other half away for someone else's lunch the next day.
Our favorite thing we all agreed they did the best with this order, was their House Fried Rice with an added egg. Perfectly made with shrimp, chicken, pork, the egg and some fresh peas.
Plenty of fortune cookies were included in the bag, along with chopsticks and a variety of sauces. They do have indoor seating. Maybe six tables? The owners are very polite and accommodating. Open six days a week basically 11Am - 10Pm. Closed Mondays and most holidays. Plenty of parking as they are within a small shopping plaza.
Even though it may look like an ordinary Chinese take-out, this is the kind of place where if you order 5 minutes before their posted closing time and they've already cleaned up their entire kitchen, washed every single wok and pan, and are completely ready to go home for the night...not only will they still make you absolutely whatever you want, but it will be the freshest and best tasting Chinese food you've ever had outside of mainland China. I'm not kidding. This is probably the only take-out place where I've never been even close to disappointed. Not even once.

Ordered C15 with beef lo mein. It comes with fried rice. The rice was faint yellow with no flavor. The lo mein had way too much lettuce.
Also the prices are wayyyy more than online menu. Shame on me for not asking ahead of time.
I usually love the food here...I won't order from there again.

My husband and I we on our way to kfc/taco bell when we saw this place in the plaza and decided let's try this place. This place is by far the best Chinese food I have had in the area! My husband and I both got the i believe got the c21 combo platter with boneless spareribs and pork fried rice came with a egg roll. The portions were huge and the rice was so fresh and I love that it had lots of veggies. We also got a side of teriyaki beef sticks which were phenomenal! Oh and their sweet and sour sauce was so good! Giving this place a 10/10. This our new spot for Chinese!!! Best Chinese I've had in a very long time!

I love this place, it's just a hole in the wall family Chinese restaurant mostly for take away but it's really good. I recommend the veggie spring rolls, beef and broccoli and general tso's chicken :) The folks that cook here are very sweet.
