Canton | Chinese Restaurant

Great value, large portions and great food quality. Like the old days of Cantonese restaurants. Cuts of meat are thick, not thin with a thick coating: Orange beef is a steak and sweet and sour pork is pork chops (choice of Beijing style or American). Food was so good my family ate so much and we still had lots of leftovers!

Really fantastic Chinese food. Huge menu with familiar favorites as well as a big selection of more authentic dishes. We ordered the whole lobster with ginger and scallion (yum!!), squid/prawns/scallops with Chinese broccoli, crab and shrimp soup, and sweet & sour chicken (surprisingly delicious and fresh tasting!).

Surprised to read other reviews about bad service (maybe some of us need to be more understanding of different cultures and that not everyone needs to hover over us all through a meal??) but we found everyone here very welcoming. Our waiter even did the unheard of and told me we might be ordering too much food and recommended cutting a dish, which we did - I got too excited by all the options!)
We took my Dad, who grew up in Richardson in the 50s/60s and he swears this restaurant is in the same building that used to house the Dairy Queen where he and his friends would hang out as teenagers!
Affordable, delicious and we’ll definitely be back!

I've been here several time within the last 5 years and the quality is nowhere near the same. Very disappointing 😞.

Food was of great value for the size of serving we got. Unfortunately service was poor. We did get our table and drinks quickly but they took about 15 minutes to come back and get our food order. Not sure if it was due to the place been full or them been understaffed. The elderly male and female staff came off a bit rude.

Been coming here since I was a kid and I'm 30 now. Never need to go anywhere else for Chinese, Canton is the best!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants! The food is always delicious—my go-to is the chicken corn soup with fried rice, and it never disappoints. The restaurant itself feels really welcoming and open, and I love walking in and seeing the fish tank—it adds such a nice touch. The lady at the counter is always so friendly and helpful, whether I’m talking to her on the phone or visiting in person. She really makes the whole experience special. Great food and great service—I always look forward to coming back!

Lunch meetup on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 went smoothly! Canton is one of my favorite Cantonese-Vietnamese restaurant. I love all the cuisines I have ordered here for almost the past 20 years! It's never a disappointment. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Total bill: $183 (after 20% tip & discount)
Individual shared portion: $23

Here is what we ordered:
1. Fire pot: Canh Chua (sweet and sour tamarind broth with vegetables, shrimp, and fish)
2. Fish: Cod Fish with Tofu Claypot
3. Duck: Vịt Tiềm Thập Cẩm (Combination Braised Duck)
4. Beef: Beef Flat Noodle
5. Shrimp and Squid with Black Bean Sauce
6. Pork: Crispy Fried Pork Chop
7. Clams with Chinese Chives
8. Chef's recommendation: Braised Eggplants with Stuffed Fried Tofu and Stuffed Pepper

Notes: Canh Chua fire pot is one of my most favorite cuisine here. They offer shrimp or fish version but I requested both with extra charge which is worth it. I always have to order the canh chua when I come here with my family. I forgot to snap a picture of the braised fish claypot. The clams with Chinese chives dish do not have shells.

I went here because i was finished with errands with my friend, and i expected to be met with good service but it was not good. Before we went in, i only had cash, so i called them asking if they took cash, but they answered in a sarcastic way and said “what a good question!” Not respecting my question. When were eating, one of the waiters would just stand there giving my friend and i a weird look. Then when I ate and paid, one of the waiters, since he didn’t speak english well -i won’t hold him accountable-, so i thought he said, “Are you paying with a check?” So i told him, “no, i only have cash.” 15 minutes later, I asked where my change was and they said it was in the tip jar, so they gave my change to me after i said it was my friends money, but they then said, “then why didn’t they give you more money?”

best flat noods in richardson!!! WOWOWOW must try. flavorful, perfect umami and the best mouthfeel. service was spectacular and quick!

I’ve been here multiple times, and out of no where they wrote their own tip without my consent. I was planning to tip and just to do it and say without warning to sign was not cool.

Used to come here for years especially since Caravelle next door shut down. Quality has really gone down lately. My food was very bland and gross. The servers and lady at the front are rude and cough into their hands without washing. I will not be back.
