    VB3. Broccoli with Oyster Sauce AC16. Soft Shell Crab salt and pepper crab and ginger scallion lo mein
    Bryana S.

    My favorite Chinese food spot. They're a humble authentic Chinese food restaurant serving up classics and traditional Chinese recipes. They have great customer service and are very attentive. It's not a fancy spot but it's cute and comfortable. Reminds me of my favorite Chinese spot in New York, Wo Hop downstairs. I had the soft shell crab, salt and pepper Dungeness crab, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce,

    This place is my go to when I'm Richardson!! I love chop suey and it's so hard to find and this place has it!! Super yummy and big portions!! Staff is friendly and attentive and fast.

    The menu has extensive Cantonese dishes. Fresh ingredients, generous portions and prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and the dishes came out fast.

    Highly recommended by my best friend who lives locally (and generous enough to accommodate us!) for our lunch grub before parting ways. Okay, so he doesn't live so locally, the drive was almost 30 minutes which felt like eternity when you're hAngry, "It'll be worth it, I promise!" he says. Situated in a huge strip mall along with other familiar Asian specialty eateries and stores, it won't be hard to find. Parking was a bit of a challenge because there was a farmer's market kinda thing going on. My friend said it may be a good thing, otherwise, there might have been a wait to get seated. Needless to say, we were seated immediately. It's also a good thing we got here close to opening time because despite the farmers market event, more and more people trickled in until most of the tables were occupied. Extensive menu. Lots I wanted to try. But! Other than trying the fried stuffed shrimp balls, I let the rest of my party of 5 decide what else to get. FRIED STUFFED SHRIMP BALLS: Great starter. They didn't skimp on the shrimp. Each bite was so packed with flavor, I didn't even bother with the dip. Get this! CRAB RANGOON: I've had my share of this from many different spots and I yet still have to find one to impress me. This was good, don't get me wrong, but it was more cream cheese than crab. I barely got any hint of crab flavor, if at all. Delish, nonetheless, just don't expect a lotta crab flavor, though. EGGPLANTS WITH CHICKEN: The amount of chicken and eggplant were commensurate with each other. Whatever ingredients they mixed together to make the sauce is practically magic, it was really good. The chicken was tender and moist and the eggplant wasn't too greasy. SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN: This is NOT orange chicken, by any means, it is far better than that! They found a way to maintain the crisp of the chicken even after getting coated with the sauce. It was sweet and sour and savory all well put together. Recommending! GARLIC NOODLES WITH LOBSTER: By far, it was everyone's favorite dish. This was a first for my friend and his son, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Noodles were cooked to a perfect above level al dente, the veggies were fresh and the sauce was perfect. I will admit I enjoyed the dish, but I much enjoyed watching the kid enjoy eating it! It's a must have! FOOD: 4.5. SERVICE: 5. Friendly and service with a smile. VALUE: 4.5. Really worth it! PARKING: Shared with plenty of other eateries. Shouldn't be a problem unless there's that farmers market thing going on. OVERALL: 4.75. It was a great way to end our visit! We enjoyed every bit of everything we had. Looking forward to a future visit, hopefully sooner than later!

    A Hidden Gem of Family-Style Feasting Having once married into a Vietnamese family (ex now, thanks for asking), I quickly learned that there's more to Asian cuisine than Pei Wei and Panda Express. Canton Chinese Restaurant is where you'll find the real deal. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by all the classics: the fish tank at the entrance (always a good sign), floors that probably tell stories if you listen closely, a light grey cash register that flashes your total in neon green like it's announcing your fortune, and--of course--the classic paper placemats doubling as your crash course in the Chinese zodiac. Now, the menu. At Canton, we go big or go home, and by that, I mean family-style. There are three staples you can't skip: 1. Cơm chiên xá xíu (BBQ Pork Fried Rice) - Think fried rice, but with smoky, savory pork that'll make you question why you ever settled for the takeout version. 2. Lẩu (Hot Pot) - Choose your own adventure here. We alternated between the tofu and vegetable hot pot (comforting and light) and the fermented fish hot pot (lẩu mắm) for when you want to make sure the kids remember who's boss. 3. Lo Mein and Shrimp Balls - A favorite for the little ones. Kids love it, but I'm not above snatching a shrimp ball when they're not looking. The experience is as classic as it gets, complete with a lazy Susan in the middle for easy sharing and quick rotations of your favorite dishes. Service is efficient--just raise your hand when you need something. This isn't your typical American spot where the server drops by every five minutes for a "How's everything tasting?" Here, you flag them down when you need to refill that hot tea or get a round two of fried rice. In short, Canton is perfect for those who want a no-frills, family-style feast with Chinese and Vietnamese dishes that deliver. Bring the family and friends, bring your appetite, and maybe brush up on your zodiac sign for fun.

    Well, I've been to practically every other place in this strip mall, I've never been to Canton Chinese restaurant. The service is quite warm and personal and you get the real family atmosphere. The wait staff told me that original family still runs the place after all these years. We had the Cantonese beef, and the orange chicken, and of course you have to get the dumplings. Everything was quite tasty and hit the spot as we had hoped it would. One thing I thought was nice. Is my husband described a ginger beef recipe he had had in Calgary and they Said they would try and re-create it for him which I thought was really nice during a lunch rush. I think it's safe to say we'll be back.

    3.7 stars This establishment is definitely good quality and affordable chinese food. Typical mom and pop shop/family business. Extensive menu that had a lot of pictures! Great for family eats!

    The food here is good, large portion family style, and not too expensive. The inside could use a renovation. Like other older Asian restaurants, you pay at the front, and the servers just bring out the food, you have to wave to them if you need anything extra.

    My family and I love going here to eat! The restaurant serves family style so we always order a variety of dishes for everyone to share. We love the beef flat noodles, organdy chicken, and fried rice. The restaurant isn't too big. They have big round tables that can sit 8-10 people. The food always comes quickly so you don't have to wait too long if there is a wait. I'd recommend definitely if you're looking for tasty Chinese cuisine!

    This food was a culinary experience in Dallas. Real Chinese food in full Effect. Lobsters was tasty. I suggested to come with friends to share different plates.

    Sizzling Beef and Chives with Clam Meats
    Lucie N.

    ORDER - Sizzling Beef - Chives with Clam Meat The Sizzling Beef was decent. The outside breading part was crunchy and also a bit chewy which is a texture that I enjoyed. I will say that I was expecting the sauce to be on the sweeter side. Over time, I think I got flavor fatigued from the sauce but it was alright. The Chives with Clam Meat was pretty good. The chives were soft and the clams were cooked well! An overall pretty solid dish that I would recommend! It did come with rice which personally I think was a bit on the dry side but that was alright! Overall, the food was pretty decent, just lacking some pizazz to bump it up to a higher rating. VIBES Very family-style restaurant. There are round tables which are good for sharing food and also standard tables for smaller parties. Pretty decent amount of seating! A very traditional or more comforting style of restaurant with a very home-like feel. SERVICE Service overall was alright. They were pretty fast in getting our food out, there just wasn't anything that stood out to be really good or really bad. Not too much personal connection or warmth but it was efficient!

    sour and sweet soup, fish w thick gravy good over rice, kangkong veggies cooked w garlic and pork dish.
