Satisfied our family of 5. Great taste and awesome portions! We ordered take out. We ordered the orange and General TSO. Steamed rice was perfect and the lo mein noodles were amazing! So great to have the spot in our backyard. As one of our kids said, "I've never had better Chinese food in my life!" read more

This is my families go to place for sit down. Excellent food, very consistent, and the kids are happy. They have a fish tank which always grabs the kid's attention. read more

Ordered pick up via Uber Eats! Wait time was longer than anticipated, but not bad. The inside looks very small, not sure how service and seating would be. But my food was good! Lots of rice packed in that tiny box, wish there was more chicken to match! read more

This is spot is known for their salted pepper fried pork ribs and sweet and sour soup (canh chua). It has been a solid spot for Chinese- Vietnamese food in town. Friendly service and old school vibe. read more

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, read more

The worst restaurant in Chinatown Richardson-Never again with a big fat ZERO-ordered 2 plates and only one comes out-sitting here waiting

Hadn't been here in years. I think we tried some dishes which were not great and just never came back. Shrimp ball 5/5 Ever since caravelle closed we had been looking for a similar shrimp ball and after years finally found one here Sizzling tofu 5/5 Fried silken tofu on sizzling plate with brown sauce. Fried soft shell crab 5/5 Combo fried rice 3/5 They must have forgotten to add seasoning / salt because this was bland. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Canton Chinese Restaurant - Sizzling Beef and Chives with Clam Meats - Chinese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Food was fair, calamari was undercooked. Wait lady was almost rude with no eye contact until she perked up a little delivering the check. Staff all sitting at back of restaurant looking at phones and non-attentive to customers. Not excited to return. This is a disappointment as it has been good in the past. May have just been an off day. read more

It's been years since I've been here and I'm not sure if my taste buds have changed a lot, or the food has, but pretty much everything we ordered tasted the same. The service was adequate--basic--but fine. The food just wasn't up to par. Edible, but nothing that would bring me back. Each dish honestly had the same, kinda thick, brownish sauce. Salty, greasy. If you're looking for very basic Chinese food, fried rice and sesame chicken kinda stuff, I guess it's fine. But if you want flavors and freshness and craveable food, this isn't the spot. read more

Overall an ok place to eat. I really liked their egg roll and I had the Combination Fried Rice for lunch, it was pretty average. Service was ok, but very impersonal. Jeng Chi is in the same center and much better all around. read more

Service was horrible ! our waiter kept walking away while we were still ordering our food! It was rude and very disrespectful.

Me and my family have been going to Canton for 13yrs. We are the definition of a great repeat customer. After calling yesterday to confirm they were open today at 3 we arrived only to be told that the restaurant was closing for an hour so the staff could take a break. To make things even more annoying the person that answered the phone yesterday was the hostess that basically pushed us out the door today. She wouldn't even let us wait inside. She has worked there for about 10 years and knows us. She offered no apology for the confusion or alternative accommodation. I've literally spent thousands of dollars at this restaurant since 2009 and to be treated this way is so insulting. To bad because I love the food but this is a terrible way to treat a repeat customer. Time to find a new go to Chinese restaurant that actually cares about my business. read more

Bad service very bad. order pickup but they make me pay more to pickup my food. I order my food by yelp and she said it not match her price and does not let me pickup my food, and said unless I match her price.So who make the price on yelp is me or the restaurant owner. It just not make sense. I just pay the price base on yelp I wish I could have the power to change the price. So ridiculous. read more

We would definitely order again the beef flat noodle, szechuan shrimp. The other were good as well but we wouldn't mind trying something else. They gave us another pot of rice after we ate the first one. They were nice overall! None if the foods were spicy, so if you need the extra kick, use the condiments on the table. read more

Canton Chinese Restaurant - Beef flat noodles, mapo tofu, fried pork chop, eggplant in garlic, szechuan shrimp, orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Pretty decent family style Chinese food. We came after a graduation and had a party of 9. We ordered the Chinese broccoli, beef chow from with gravy and without gravy (without gravy was more delicious), tofu, orange beef, salt and pepper squid, shrimp balls, and soup. I think everything for the most part was good. I did not like the shrimp balls. It had a bad taste to it, almost of if it was expired and stale. The orange beef was good but it had way too much sauce. I recommend the beef chow fun with no gravy, there was more flavor! read more
