We have been going to Kantin for 20 years. The food is always fabulous and the new owners are incredibly kind and always ask about our kids when we sneak away for lunch. Definitely recommend them!
Their hours on Google are wrong. It says they close at 4pm, but they were open at 5pm when I went.I has their Peking duck buns, pork with string beans, and spicy salted fish with a side of rice. Peking duck buns and pork with string beans were me and my fiancé's favorite. The fish wasn't bad- the crispiness was there but it wasn't salted. The rice was lacking something. I can't put my finger on what it's missing, but it was a little dry.
It’s rare to find authentic Cantonese food outside of Chinatown - this place is a gem. Their food is delicious and reminds me of HK, right down to the fresh bbq and roast pork; Brighton-Allston is extremely lucky to have a place that serves it traditionally, freshly cut to order. If you’re coming here looking for General Tso’s, this ain’t it - but if you’re looking for legit Cantonese food, Kantin’s got it.
