I’ve been here 3 times now for take out + 1 delivery.. I love it! Everyone is so friendly, huge portions for the price, and the food has always been so delicious.We got delivery the first time and it arrived early and hot. The other times I’ve gone to get pick up and had a drink (or 2!) at the bar while I waited for my order. The food is so wonderful and reasonably priced and the drinks are a bigger steal! Lovely ladies working, they have a ton of regulars and seem to remember the orders.I don’t go anywhere else!

This will be a short review, the food is only ok...and the place is dirty. Don't bother...go to Pinto Thai in Augusta.

This is one of the most important Chinese food establishments in New England if not the country, that’s just my personal opinion but I’ve hunted down a lot of good Chinese food over the years, and I’ve had many disappointments along the way, largely due to my previous high expectations and superior experience with Canton Village.I am SO glad and proud that they did the best they could, and persevered, through Covid and that their business is still here and going strong, it is a wonderful family run restaurant with nationally famous, very good food, it is the place I come back to from California where out west nothing compares, and the quality literally brings a tear to my eye. Just ask my local mom, she brought me back there for the first time in 7 years since I left, a little while back, and halfway through the meal I heard her ask:“Are you…. crying?” And while I won’t confirm or deny; it was a moving meal!Excellent, consistent quality food, that stands on its own while they deal with whatever space issues they may be having in their dining area. I wish them the best in re-expanding quickly for the sake of diners who do judge them for it, but I’m so grateful they still prepare exactly the same delicious food I’m familiar with, that only a very few restaurants around the world I’ve tried elsewhere can fairly be compared to. It’s just that good, I hope they teach the younger generations to replicate their recipes and follow their meat selection and prep skills, and carry these tactics on, into the future, because they are only so rarely surpassed outside Canton Village.

Giving 1 star because thats the lowest you can go. Upon walking in you are punched in the face with the strongest smell of pee possible. You walk into a small room with a bar, and a couple tables, and a table on the other side by a tarped area. Online says they are a buffet but they are not. I can't say as to the food because we didn't get that far. The pee smell was so bad that we turned around and left.
