First let me start by saying the food was good for the price. What I mean by that is that it was good food for a lunch special that cost below $9. At some restaurants you might say no wonder why the cost was so low because it's not that great. But this was alright in my opinion. I think we were their first customers for the day. It took about 10mins for the food to come. And when it came it served nice and hot. I noticed They got a lot of to go orders so at least we know the locals like this spot. It was clean but the place could use a renovation or remodel as it looks old. A little paint, some wall decor and new furniture would liven up the place. But a whole in a wall space doesn't scare us from trying food. My number 1 motto is "try anything once" and I will always stick with that. They need some improvements But overall, an okay experience. read more

Canton City - Amazing - Chinese Near Me - Antioch, California

100% recommend. They have large portions that are reasonably priced. We had the sweet and sour and broccoli beef and fried rice. It was well seasoned, the chicken was soft and tender and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. Definitely come hungry. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the wait. It took a little over 20 minutes for our order (to go) and the restaurant was empty. Other than that, it's a great place. There's plenty of parking but a small interior for seating. I would suggest to buy to go orders. read more

Love the food love and the owners! Been going here for 20yrs! Everything is delicious

Old school Chinese Spot with great food and prices. Been coming here for years. Love the chow mien The owner funny as hell.

The owner is always smiling and has a positive attitude. Portions are great for their price. You definitely get your money's worth here.

1st and last time eating here...now I know all hole in the wall places are probably crawling with something, but please let it be a secret...I ordered dried fried ribs and salt/pepper prawns. Prices are amazing. Now if you cool with a bug possibly showing up in your food then please definitely try them out. Literally if it wasn't for the bug I definitely would have been back...the dried fried ribs were flavorful(maybe from the bug idk). To my disappointment I was only able to eat 3-4 before my discovery. Shrimp had a lil too much breading for me but also still flavorful. read more

I've been coming here since childhood. The owners are super nice and personable. Can't go wrong with the combo plates. My go to is chow mien with sweet and sour pork. The price is always great and I always toss in that tip jar because I believe the value is more than what they charge read more

Great food and good size portions. Will definitely be coming back. Has lunch and dinner specials. Closes at 8PM not 9PM.

Second Visit....I must confess, even better than the first visit. Their portions are Massive! The food is totally prepared upon order, fresh ingredients, plenty of vegies & meat. It takes a few minutes for your food, but well worth the wait & the owner is polite and makes you feel appreciated. Which is a nice change. Give them a try, you shouldn't be disappointed!.!! read more

This review is based on a quick visit I made to Canton City last week when I was "desperately" in need of some pork chow mein. This small mom and pop restaurant was open and I was able to place a To Go order. The chow mein was prepared on the spot and presented hot and delicious. The dining area (closed during the Age of COVID) is suitable for lunch but not so much for "date night". I didn't have the chance to try any other dishes, but I'm still think about that pork chow mein. I would recommend giving this small business your support during these trying times in the restaurant industry. He's trying to make it work and provide a quality product. read more

Canton City - Pork Chow Mein to go. - Chinese Near Me - Antioch, California

Another amazing experience! I placed a really big order and it only took 15 minutes. The owner was extremely nice and helpful and the restaurant smelled amazing! I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the restaurant is. There isn't much seating but my order was to go so it didn't bother me much. The food tasted super delicious and was very filling. They also have a wonderful all day special! This is one of the best Chinese food places in Antioch and I would recommend to anyone. read more

Just got back from this place and the service is always good! The little old man who took my phone order was so sweet. Their prices are good, food is excellent and they pack them plates! read more

I want to see downtown Antioch survive, as it's really turned into a major ghost town. A waterfront downtown area that looks like a plague has wiped out humanity even at 9pm on a Saturday night. I try to support businesses in the area when I can, especially since I live within 5 minutes walking distance of downtown. My wife and I enjoy Chinese food from time to time, and have a couple favorite spots. Today, we tried something different... and won't be back. The food was very underwhelming, we ended up throwing most of it away. China Won over by the Antioch Mall is a WAY better option, and where my wife and I usually go. The staff at Canton City was friendly enough, but the food was very subpar. Would not recommend a visit. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since it opened which is probably over 15 years. I still love this place to this day! Their food has stayed consistently delicious. Their service has always been incredible. I hope this place never goes away. I no longer live in Antioch anymore but I do drive up from concord to get my fix. My mother still orders frequently and when they get her address they already know what she's going to order. Today I ordered my usual, pork fried rice and dried fried pork and it was delicious as always. Thank you Canton City staff for the amazing food and amazing staff! I haven't found a place comparable in Concord and I've lived there for 3 years. read more

I used to live down the street from Canton City and regularly ate it for lunch. Whenever I'm downtown I make sure to stop by. I highly recommend the salt & pepper ribs!! That & Mongolian beef are my two go-to's. read more

Love this place ! I just moved back to the area and I was on the hunt for a new Chinese restaurant! The food is excellent and huge portions and the price you can't beat it! It's my new go to for Chinese. It's nothing fancy but it's the food that counts! read more

We live down the street so order from here often we do need to spend $20 in order to have it delivered however our go to food here are they all day special the dry fried pork chops the chow mein the fried rice the weekend and one of my favorites is the pan fried noodles read more

Some of the best Chinese food ever and they don't skimp you on the portions. They give you tons of food and it is purely delicious for a great deal. The lunch special is amazing. If you like spicy food the Mongolian chicken is the best read more

This is a review of the lunch menu item, Sweet and Sour chicken with fried rice and soup. It had a good sized portion of the chicken and sauce with pineapple, bell pepper, onion and carrots. The carrots were super-sized but woody and tough. The fried rice was tasty. I also had the Hot & Sour soup that was way too spicy for my taste but otherwise lots of tofu and noodles, and other veggies. Everything was still hot by the time I arrived home 20 minutes later. I prefer mild chili heat. I won't be able to finish this huge meal. The staff were friendly for the short time I was there as it is takeout only. read more

Always satisfied with my deliveries. We always order enough for a free 2 oz. Soda. Great customer service. Never have to wait to long.

Great price. Great food! In house delivery, makes a Huge difference! They're just good. That's all.

Canton City is small and located near the Antioch Marina. I remembered being told that they have a great lunch special and decided to stop by there this afternoon. The lunch special is available from 11 am to 3 pm and for $4.50 and you get a cup of the soup of the day (today's was egg flower soup), fried or steamed rice, and a choice from 17 entrees. Yes, you get all that for only $4.50! They also have all day specials for $5.75. That comes with everything that comes with the lunch special but with the addition of an egg roll and the option of chow mein instead of rice. To top it all off, the food was delicious and the staff were really sweet and kept asking if I wanted to sit down while I waited. (Just for the record, my boots look much more uncomfortable than they actually are.) The soup was light in flavor but chock full of egg, carrots, and peas. Yum! The rice is typical white rice and was a lovely platform for the chicken and veggies. I didn't expect as many fresh vegetables as my 'chicken with fresh vegetables' entree included. There was zucchini, carrots, and broccoli. Water chestnuts, celery, and bamboo added a nice, tasty crunch. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and for less than $5 I feel like I got an amazing deal.

Really loved pork chow mein lots of favor ! Always hot and ready for pick Up . Husband always gets shrimp fried rice, will be picking up many more times read more

I came in today after a recommendation from a local store nearby. All 3 of my family members, me, my uncle and my father got food poisoning. We ordered the lunch special sweet and sour pork and Mongolian beef. I was really excited but should have listened to my instinct. Very disappointed. read more

The owners are soo awesome. Super friendly. The food is the best you can find. We spent 40$ and fed four adults! Must try the crab puffs. Super meaty brocolli beef. 5 stars! Many happy returns... read more

I've been coming here forever. They definitely have the best Chinese food in town and they are so nice and fast. No MSG.

This could have been a 4/5 star rating. But I can't honestly do that. The food is very good & easy on the wallet. However this place has become a very dumpy and DIRTY place. For years have ordered take out. But this last time I chose to eat inside this establishment. Sorry to say I was horrified. The floors obviously needed sweep & moping. And there were cobwebs on the walls. I won't even go back till this is cleaned up and there is a new health department inspection. Too bad heir fried wantons are excellent. read more

I like the overall service and the ppl are very nice. I only tried it once but i somehow got very sick and got extremely bad migraines after eating the dry fried ribs because they were very heavy in seasoning so we had to discard the food but i don't blame them for i have issues with heavily seasoned food in general. I'm going to try it again but let them know i would like less seasoning on my items when prepared. read more

This place is a run down rat hole. I give very good and meaningful reviews for places that earned such reviews, But this place is a F- at best. They food is plan, nasty and delivery means a wait to up to 2hours. * NO JOKE* I have given this place a try 3 times and each time it gotten worst. If you really know what GOOD Chinese food is, ITS NOT HERE! Chop Chop Chinese Restaurant Delivery's all over Antioch & there food is WAY better. Horrible food! read more

I'm officially done with canton city. I've been coming here for year but the last order I got was two thumbs down. I really didn't even want to eat it after looking at it. Dishing out one star reviews is a little hard for me but this is like some real life disappointment. They've lost me as a customer, forever. I got chow funn it was so over cooked. I got sweet and sour prawns and they literally just pored sweet and sour sauce onto the fried shrimp. THAT MAKES THEM SOGGY. They're not seasoned or anything just a sweet waste of my money. Yea they offer free egg rolls and soda with a certain minimum so that's great but the food is boo boo. I stick to only regular stuff when I go here just chicken wings and fried rice. This time around I let my parter down big time and have to painfully relive the experience as I type. My gf said this place must have prepped the food to serve over the weekend and we must've got the tail end of it since we ordered on a Sunday night. Nothing else to say other than skip this place and find another Chinese restaurant in Antioch. read more

Quick Amazing flavor Cheap Knows my order by name Adorable little girl the owners have Overall could be a tad cleaner read more

I used to like this place, because they deliver and the food was decent. Recently we decided to pick up some chinese on the way home, so we stopped in here. We grabbed a menu and sat down at a table, which wasnt very clean but we overlooked it, to go over it and make our decision, we were not even greeted by the employee standing behind the counter talking on the phone. A few minutes into looking over the menu we noticed something crawling across the table. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was a BABY COCKROACH. If there is 1 baby, there are more! Probably hundreds, we were so disgusted that we just left, and the man talking on the phone never said a thing. Please beware! I don't even want to consider how many baby cockroaches i may have eaten in the food that i couldnt see all the times we ordered delivery :( read more

Honestly, I been going here for a while and I must admit that they do have a hard time understanding any phone orders. Other than that, the food is a solid 4, prices are cheap, and portions are bountiful. For your run of the mill neighborhood take out place, it's just fine. I have never eaten in the facility and have ordered thier delivery before and the time frame for delivery is very prompt. I recommend thier teriyaki chicken and chow fun. My brother orders from them all the time when he's over my house or house sitting and according to him, if you order enough they have been known to hook you up with free sodas or egg Rolls. read more

Canton City - Chinese Near Me - Antioch, California

I have been going to this place for over 10 years and it's even better than before! The sauces and spices are authentic with no MSG. We have ordered Chinese food from several places, and no-one does the Moo Shoo like Canton City. You can taste the cinnamon (?), and other spices, yet not overpowering. We also ordered Prawn and Veggies, potstickers, and steamed veggies. The portions were huge and the price was beyond reasonable. The delivery fee is small and well worth it. read more

I have been there a few times and it's ok. The fact that they deliver gives them points in my book. The food is average, better then a fast food Chinese place. read more

This place had great CHEAP food. Recommend you give it a try! The staff are also really nice.

Horrible, just horrible, food was flavorless, we ordered the DINNER FOR 3 people, red sauce tasted funny, the chicken fried rice was more chicken than rice, brochali beef was flavorless, bbq pork was ok and the orange chicken was atrocious. Needless to say won't be eating there again...back to Rice Bowl, because China city made me and a nephew ill but I've eaten there for years before that happened. read more
