First time trying this place. Stopped by for lunch. I was seated right away and offered drinks. I got green tea and a full kettle was left on the table. I was expecting just a mug so I was pleasantly surprised. I got a lunch combo and it was huge! I was able to share my plate. The restaurant feels nice and spacious with a private separate room to host a small event. The food was delicious and will definitely return to try more items. read more

My brother moved out of state a couple years ago, so whenever he comes back for a visit, Canton restaurant is one of his favorite places to visit. It was his favorite Chinese restaurant when he lived in Visalia. I had not been in many years, so I went with him for dinner one evening, and it was good. Not my favorite in this area, but good. The food was really solid. Very delicious, excellent food. We ordered family style, so we got great portions. However, the service when we went was very slow and definitely lacking. We knew exactly what we wanted within about a minute of sitting down, so we did the typical set the menus aside and fold our hands to signal the server that we were ready to order. It took more than 10 minutes before we were able to finally get a waitress to take our order. Not that there weren't waitresses there, they just kept walking by and saying someone else would get back to us to take our order. Our appetizer arrived 25 minutes after we arrived. Yes, it was so noticeable, I WAS paying attention to the times. We started off with the fried chicken wings, spring rolls, and tempura scromp-scromps. They were all good. Again, not my favorite in Visalia, but still quite good. A few minutes later, we got the Beef & Egg flower soup. Now, I love me some egg flour, soup, but then you go and throw some meat in it? Next level. That was definitely better than other Chinese restaurants in Visalia. Our main dishes started arriving at 31 minutes. We got the Orange Chicken, Honey Walnut Scromp-scromps, and Beef with Broccoli. These were all very delicious arguably as good or close to my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. The restaurant was relatively busy when I was there, so I didn't take any inside pics, but the inside is nice. The restaurant seemed clean and the prices were reasonable. It was really the service that we had issue with, and found lacking. It could've been a isolated event, I don't know. Even my brother was disappointed. read more

Had dinner with a friend here last night. It was my first time at Canton and I was super surprised and the amount of food! It was phenomenal! Good flavor and great service! It wasn't the best Chinese I've ever had, but definitely worth a regular visit. There were a lot of people enjoying dinner. I'll be back! read more

The chowmein and fried rice had good flavor but that is pretty much the only thing i liked. The broccoli beef was broccoli beef. The service is alright and the ambiance was a little off for some reason. I was iffy about the orange chicken due to it not being the traditional orange chicken and the taste was not there and the texture of the chicken was not it. It was my first time here and probably wont go again. read more

Cantons is just not good. The service is poor, and the food is disappointing. We ordered a simple combination chow mein tonight and it had one shrimp in the entire container, but had tons of black beans from black bean sauce in it. We gave them one last chance, never again. Just go to Fortune Cookie in Exeter, it's worth the drive. read more

Canton Chinese Restaurant - Sweet and Sour Pork Egg Foo Young - Chinese Near Me - Visalia, California

We came at 830 pm Busy as always; nothing new. Got seated and served drinks quickly. Was told food was going to take awhile to cook. Dad got his food first which was delicious and I got mine 15 minutes after which was fine. Dad ordered the wrong combo but he very much enjoyed the gravy and that Pattie The only thing that does bother me is the amount of tables that are dirty and stay dirty . It just makes the environment feel like unsanitary read more

This place is like a 1980's time capsule. Qingdao Beer calendar on the wall? Check. Table older than your grandpa? Check. Paper placemats with Chinese zodiac? Check. The Chinese name of the restaurant is way more interesting, 羊城， the City of Rams. Around 900BC, the city of Canton had a famine. The gods gifted the people 5 good luck rams that brought 3000 years of prosperity to Canton. Ok, enough history lessons. The waiters are fast and emotionless, which is typical of old school Cantonese restaurants. I turned on my charm and the waitress finally smiled . I ordered the first thing on their lunch special, Mongolian Beef . It is one of the most famous and least authentic Chinese dish. Like magic, the egg drop soup appeared instantly on the table. Who need small talk when your waitress has super power speed. Very nice soup for a cold winter day. Then the main dish came so fast I barely swallowed my last bit of soup. Why do people love old school Chinese restaurants? It is the value. The dish is huge, a full serving of fried rice, a full serving of chow mein, and a generous portion of beef. Honestly in any other restaurant it can be sold as 3 separate dishes. The beef was sweet, tangy, with mild spice (Cantonese people are lightweight when it comes to spicy food), with delightful white onions, carrots. Shameful, guilty pleaser for sure. The fried rice even have bits of bbq pork in it. When the bill came, it is $13 tax included. I ate until I burst and I only finish half of the food. If you want a quick, hearty, delicious Chinese fix, this is the place for you! read more

Always amazing food when I order. Has never disappointed me. The potstickers and eggs rolls are amazing. Must try.

It wasn't that great our food came out cold or soup was cold and it took 10 minutes for somebody to see this

My Wife and I ate at the Canton Restaurant at 419 East Main Street in Visalia, California today, December 14, 2024 and our waiter was Gary Zheng. My wife had the Egg Foo Young and I had the Mandarin Chicken which came with Pork Fried Rice and Egg Flower Soup. The service was great, as Mr. Zheng was very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who enjoys Chinese cuisine. read more

It's been a while since I've been here. It's changed a lot! Not in a good way.. The wonton soup was cold. It came out at the same time with the chow mein which was hot. Maybe a lazy way to get both at the same time. I don't know who dropped the ball on that it was terrible. The chow mein was ok but nothing special about it. It had 4-5 pieces of shrimp and two pieces of fish no squid or other seafood, mediocre. More vegetables than anything! The Peking spareribs were actually decent. Arrived 30mins after the first two dishes though. The service was ok, but if it was her fault for a cold soup then not good. I guess the soup made a big difference especially if you came for the soup. You know hot soup on a cold day.. The ambiance was frantic all the tables were packed with leftovers and dirty dishes. About 7-8 people in the kitchen maybe they needed to go out and help clean and clear off the tables?! I don't know it used to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Visalia in the days but those days are gone!! It's such a bummer!!! read more

This is our go-to spot for Chinese food in town. A couple of our favorites are the Honey Walnut Shrimp and the Combination Chow Mein (it's a little spicy)! I wanted to add updated menu pics with prices since I had a little shock at the increase in price for our order. Still a great value for great food, but like everything else, the prices have jumped up a bit. read more

My family's go-to for yummy Chinese food for years. Their chow mein and rice are always a hit. And we switch between their potstickers and honey walnut shrimp. Their chicken noodle soup is also a go-to when feeling under the weather. read more

I would have given three or four star, but I went with a friend for lunch a week ago, We finished our lunch and were boxing some leftovers when my stomach started to act up, by the time we were out the door it was really hurting, we were planning on going to Costco afterwards, well that didn't happen due cramping and being nauseous, made it home to diarrhea that lasted four days. had to go and see my doctor, that said it was food poisoning. due to the bad experience I had I will never plan on going to Canton again food needs to be kept at certain temperature, cleanliness, and food handling is very important. But we cannot see behind the scenes read more

the service was the worst, I was left to stand while 4 different small groups entered after me were seated. I did not bother staying after 25 minutes of being ignored and passed, believing they were there because of a reservation. I also noticed that I was ignored because I had a service animal with me and they blatenly asked for a government id for the dog which is the first I have ever heard about. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and has been one of my favorites, however the take out that I ordered tonight was nasty. Rice tasted old and dry and the chicken was dry and seemed like it was reheated from yesterday. Not sure if I'll be going back after this. read more

I went during the week at lunch time to try this place on my lunch break. The ambiance: It was not busy at all it was quiet and we. It did not disappoint.

The service was fine, waitress was nice. Now I have two great options restaurant wise to choose from. This place and new star China. I'll definitely come back to dine in would love to try their other plates. read more

It has been a long time since I have eaten at Canton. I remember back in the day this place was a goto spot and when I found myself craving Chinese and was just down the road, it seemed like a good idea. I was a bit surprised that at 5 30 there was almost nobody there. We ordered the family meal and it came with chow mein, wanton soup, chicken, broccoli beef, and shrimp and egg rolls. We also added walnut shrimp. I can honestly say the only decent part to it all was the wanton soup. It was about $70 after tip and we were thoroughly disappointed with the whole experience. I now know why there wasn't anyone there at peak dinner time. My advice would be to avoid this place. read more

I always like to start with a positive if I can, so this restaurant is very quick! The vegetable chow mein was tasty, but needed salt. The honey walnut shrimp is very good, but the size of the serving was disappointing, especially since it was a $14.25 item. The orange chicken is completely different from any orange chicken I have had, it is listed as spice, but I picked up no heat and little orange flavor on the positive side, it is all white meat chicken. The real disappointment with this meal, was the sweet and sour pork. The pork tasted old and reheated. This in my opinion was not a $50+ meal. read more

As normal everything was good but then we started eating our honey walnut shrimp that had a strange flavor, then I realized there oil was dirty or burnt, that's what it smelled like and a tasted like, I called them and they said bring it back, I shouldn't have to had made this phone call in the first placed you can smell it right away. Smells nasty. But they said bring it back down and they would exchange it or give a refund, well I'm not waisting that gas. Change the oil in the fryers read more
