We were visiting from out of town and found this place. We decided to try it based on the reviews. The food was great, prices were even better! Great little take out or eat in Chinese restaurant! Great service too!

I used to love this place, but just remembered why I hadn't been there in a while. I just ordered $40 worth of food and besides the Sesame Chicken, (which wasn't the best), we couldn't eat it. It literally tasted like someone took it out of the garbage. This will be the last time we ever eat at Canton.

Awesome local spot with all the standard options. I got the Royal Family Dinner meal which could have fed two people and is a great deal for ~$13 (includes everything pictured). The food was cooked fresh and fast, and the owners are very nice. Will be returning regularly.Parking: Located in a strip mall with ample parking

There’s just a lot of hit and miss. Sesame chicken was great; crispy just like their chicken wings. Spring rolls weren’t great and rangoons were average. The chicken lo mein and the egg drop soup were really disappointing. Not my favorite.

The reviews were all so good I decided to try them out. This was unfortunately not good, I got the beef and broccoli and I just can't even begin to describe the taste. Also, the owner was very standoffish.

First time getting takeout here, I ordered the steamed dumplings, they were crunchy instead of "steamed" and definitely won't order them again, egg drop soup was okay but I wouldn't order it again, pork egg roll was okay but I wouldn't order it again, the fried rice had maybe half an egg, no vegetables, I would just get white rice next time, but the general tso's chicken was delicious, all of this for $21.83. If I were to come back it would be for the general tso's chicken only.

i got mongolian beef. There was no beef. I had particles of meat, i would need binoculars too see it. I would rather get meat of a dumpster and i would find more meat. It felt like eating the cripsy bits of breading at the bottom of a KFC bucket.

Often times you pull up to a place and you say to self-- I don't know about this place, but I'll give it a try. The decor, chairs and floor were worn, but it is a strip mall stop, which classy decor may not be their forte. I ordered Chicken Fried Rice. The hostess was very friendly and gave me my entree which was truly FRIED RICE where as some places have white rice topped with veggies disguising it as real fried rice when it is actually steamed. I'm no fried rice connoisseur, but the look and taste was the real deal. It had bean shoots, egg, carrot strips, green peas, an oil that gave it that savory flavor of being close to authentic with one Rangoon and one Egg Roll. The melody of flavors were simply heavenly. I will have to add this place to my top five list due to controlled portion size, and true to the flavors of fried rice all at a reasonable cost. It's another local small business-- give them a try!

I ordered two beef dishes and both of them had hardly any beef at all. Only tiny pieces, some smaller than a dime. I know food prices have gone up, but this was ridiculous. They should raise menu prices instead.
