Canton Cook might be the best Chinese restaurant in Cobb. The service is fast and super friendly. For the food, we had the pan fried spicy salted shrimp with noodles and it was delicious. The portions are big too-- we ordered two protein dishes and three of us ate and were completely full after. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for solid Chinese food with generous portions. read more

Very good Chinese food. The place seems authentic. We had some chicken fried rice, moo goo gai pan, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour pork, egg drop soup, egg rolls and pork egg foo young. While it was all tasty, the egg rolls were the main attraction. They were the biggest I've ever eaten with an excellent flavor. If I had to buy just one thing, it would be a platter of those! We were overall pleased, though a little disappointed at the sheer cost of the food. We got a lot, but we've gotten similar amounts before and it's cost a lot less elsewhere. Also, we asked for bean sprouts on everything possible, so we expected the moo goo gai pan and the fried rice to have something in them but there were no beansprouts to be found. Either way, we'd definitely go back! read more

A big spacious dining room with tables and booths. We arrived on a sunny and warm Friday evening about 5:30PM. We could see several waitresses gathered in expectation for the dinner rush. And based on the phone calls during out visit, they receive a lot of to-go orders. For an appetizer we had the Pork Egg Rolls and the Hong Kong Style Wonton Soup. The egg rolls were mostly cabbage and it was very difficult to find (let alone taste) any pork bits. However, they were a good size and nicely cooked. The soup had lots of baby bok choy and the pork dumplings in it were very delicious. For our entrees we had the Orange Beef and Mongolian Beef, both served with a generous container of steamed rice. The Mongolian Beef was nicely flavored. However, the Orange Beef was more sour than citrus flavored and the texture was a bit gristly. They do not have fountain drinks, and soft drinks are served in cans. Service was decent and the food was delivered in a good time frame and while still fresh and hot. read more

We came here cause we had a craving for some Chinese food! We had a bunch of dishes and all of them were huge and tasty! My favorite was the Peking Pork Chops, it had lots of meat and not too many bones, had a sweet and tangy taste! Definitely this is my go to place when I come back to Atlanta! The service was great too! read more

So so good and portions were massive! Atmosphere: Plenty of parking. No frills/old school chinese restaurant complete with live lobster tanks. Lots of room for family dining. Service: Quick and thorough, walked in to place a togo order and it was done in about 15 minutes. Food: Reminded me of the Chinese food back in California and they have some menu items that arent usually offered. I got an order of garlic pork chops, shrimp egg foo young and house fried rice. Plenty to eat on by myself for a few days and everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more

Fantastic. Much larger space than I thought and plenty of seating. Very clean and quiet. The food was delicious and the servings are HUGE. I SWEAR I'll get three meals out of the Orange Chicken. It is not spicy at all, but has a clear orange flavor. The Egg foo yung was a huge double portion. Come hungry or realize you will have left overs. The service was quick and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. I would only recommend they give more rice with the dishes. However, for leftovers you may want to make fresh rice at home. The chairs are sturdy and lots of booths or tables. The chairs matter when having a wonderful lunch with Mom. She's 84 and balance matters- she's very independent and doesn't want help in and out of chairs. Just an unsolicited bonus!! read more

We had seen several reviews on Yelp for Canton Cook so we decided to try them for lunch. The restaurant is a little tricky to pull into if you are driving east on Canton Road but it is well worth the effort. Upon arrival we were seated at a booth and given menus. A server quickly came to our table to get our drinks orders. We both ordered off of the lunch menu. You get your choice of soup and a Spring roll along with your entree and rice (fried or steamed) The soup was delicious and we both enjoyed our entrees. The portions are huge and we both took home a large portion of our entrees. The restaurant is bright and cheery and very clean. We really enjoyed our first trip to Canton Cook and will definitely return to try other entrees. read more

Canton Cook - Mongolian Beef, egg roll, chicken wing, fried rice and egg drop soup $10.95 - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Have ordered from them many times and the food was always OK. This latest time we ordered $90 worth of food and the fried gyoza that they sent was absolutely awful. My son took one bite and spit it out. I called them and they said the only thing they could do is if we get in the car, drive it back and they redo it for us. I told them there's no way I'm getting in my car and driving back to the restaurant to return subpar food that I paid for and they said there's nothing else we can do and they hung up on me. read more

This is another review for somewhere that isn't exactly the prettiest place on the inside, but their food is great. We went for a late lunch on Saturday, because my wife had a craving for Chinese food. I ordered the roasted duck with ginger & green onions, which was probably my favorite of the three entrees. It had a very complex sauce, and I couldn't quite identify the aromatic spice that elevated it (possibly allspice or cardamom), but whatever it was, it definitely paired really well with the slight sweetness from the ginger & onions. You also want to be aware that the duck is *not* boneless, so be sure to inspect each bite; unexpectadly chomping down into a bone will make most people lose their appetite. Their egg rolls are big & very full of shredded cabbage but not a lot of pork sausage. I loved them with the chili garlic sauce that they make in house, just be sure to use it judiciously, as it is on the hot end of the spectrum. My wife loved her hot & sour soup, and she's definitely a connoisseur of it. It's thick & rich, pairs really nicely with the wonton crackers. The beef with black bean sauce highlights the sweet aromatic essence of bell pepper, and the salty/savory flavor of the black beans balance out the sauce. The beef with black mushrooms was probably my 2nd favorite, having a savory & slightly sweet profile, and lots of vegetable accompaniments (bamboo shoots, carrots, onions, snow peas). The decor is a bit dated, but it's pretty clean. Neither one of us used the restrooms, so I can't comment about those. We're definitely going back, but I doubt we'll order anything with crab or lobster. The live tank's contents didn't look very lively, if you catch my drift. I also found it slightly odd that so much of their staff ate openly in the dining room. I guess I'm just used to employees having their meals in a more discreet location. Not a deal breaker, just unusual. Our servers were relatively attentive, but considering that we were only one of maybe six other tables, it took a little while to get our orders. All in all, you can find some Buford Highway level food here without having to drive all the way there, and it's definitely one of the best Asian restaurants I've had in the Marietta/Woodstock/Kennesaw area. I'm definitely curious about other menu options, but a guy can only eat so much in one sitting. read more

BEST in the area. Recommended by Chinese cooks, who really know quality. Good value. Not fancy but worth going back to many times.

No need to gatekeep this restaurant as it is in my top 3 list of THE best Chinese in all of Atlanta. I've visited several times and plan to continue to do so. The service is always prompt and I have never had any issues. They have plenty of seating and ambiance is one that is of a typical longstanding traditional Chinese restaurant. Although it isn't ITP, it is certainly worth the drive if you are looking for true authentic Chinese food. read more

Why so much MSG? It just tasted bad and like it was loaded with chemicals. Also- service is not friendly. This place was highly recommended- and I don't get that - just disgusting! read more

We started with an appetizer of pot stickers, I didn't see it on the menu but they served it right up. Then pork egg rolls, chicken lo mien, and tender beef green beans. All delicious. It's been awhile since I've been here and I can tell you the quality of everything is top notch. read more

Food is always great. Service is fast! Place is always busy! Also has a little kid working the cash register! J/K IYKYK! Plenty of seating and plenty of food options! Portions are huge! Last time we went we noticed new menus and prices went up. Overall this place is great. read more

Omg. Authentic Chinese. If you want a real experience come here. Haven't had a bad dish.

So this is my second visit to Kenton Cook's the Marietta location. I got two lunch combinations, general taos chicken and house fried rice lunch combo when I tell you, this is my new favorite Chinese restaurant of all of Atlanta! This is real deal old school, Chinese New York style Chinese with flavor. I called him my order by the time I got there it was ready. Service was great In-N-Out. The inside is clean it's not somewhere that's a five star no but it's great for what it is. I definitely want to go sit down and enjoy the food. When I added that general taos chicken. To the house fried rice, Lord have mercy. It was off the chain. Spring rolls I didn't get to try because they kind of got soggy because I wanted the pork egg rolls. The pork egg rolls are big, but if anything I would say they're not it it's a lot of feeling, but not a lot of flavor. That is the only knock I would give, but I have a friend that taught me a little trick when you get sesame chicken general chicken, and their eggrolls aren't good empty out the filling and stuff it with the chicken and you got the soft chicken with the crunchy exterior of the eggroll. When I tell you, they are 3 for 3 the house special fried rice the General's chicken and shrimp eggroll. I'm gonna try some other things as I go back and I'll be honest with you. I'm trying the lunch combinations moving forward when I try new things because it's cheaper but then you know if I don't like it hey but it's still big portions for the lunch menu. Another thing if you want that chicken wing they give you in a lunch combo oh yeah you gonna want a whole order of them chicken wings that's just how good they are when they're fresh. I can't speak if you heat it up later on, but the flavor is there crispiness is there. read more

What a hidden gem! If you want authentic Chinese food look no further. Tables are set up in rounds of 6 so perfect for sharing meals and conversation.

Canton Cook - Stewed Brisket Noodle Soup 10/24 - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Ambiance: Beautiful color choices for interior with stunning chandeliers, but then parts of the restaurant don't fit with the decor. It would look so much better if they had a screen in front of the server station and the crab tank looks crowded, not very appealing. I also think it was odd that you constantly hear carts because that's what they use to bring food & clear tables. Service: Excellent, water stayed full, didn't have to wait for service, quick seating. Food: Lunch was a better value, you get a lot! We went for dinner this time. What we noticed is the chicken tastes does not taste fresh. It seemed like they have the items already prepared in the back, already sauced, and just take from a buffet type set up. The fried rice was good and the hot and sour soup is the best we've had. Considering the high cost, food should be made to order, fresher. Portion sizes are huge, lots of leftovers. read more

Canton Cooks is one of my go to restaurants for traditional Cantonese cuisine. Some of the best egg rolls in the city! I was introduced to the restaurant by an Asian colleague. His family celebrated special occasions here. The service is great and the meals are always made to order. read more

After talking to a friend recently, she highly recommended Canton Cook for its takeout service. So, since my husband likes fried rice on Fridays and our go to Chinese restaurant gone, we decided to try it. I ordered online. There was no way to communicate preferences. I ordered shrimp fried rice for my husband and shrimp lo mein for myself. We were offered a choice of sides. We picked egg rolls. The total cost was $27 and change, $10.95 each order, $1 convenience fee (!) , tax and 15% tip. When we unpacked our containers, we saw that our egg rolls had rolled into liquid and thus were soggy. Rice and pasta are cheap ingredients. So we were disappointed that there were hardly any vegetables. And almost no flavor. We both had to add soy sauce. Very disappointing. Won't bother to go back. read more

Weird location, practically on the off ramp even weirder inside but food is excellent. Been looking for sit down Chinese closer to what we had in the north east, this may be it. Service was very good and attentive. We didn't see a dish on the menu and she said no problem we can make it Food came out oddly fast. Super hot so not that it was sitting around in the kitchen. Everything was tasty. Inside has plenty of tables and booths and larger tables has large lazy Susan's. read more

This is Cantonese food. It's closer than Buford highway restaurants, so does the job. Would I go again, been 4 times now.

Canton in Marietta is the best Chinese food in the area hands down. This is our go to every time we want a good Chinese meal. We recently visited this stand alone location for dinner. The service as usual was good. We were seated right away and offered water, tea etc.. the restaurant on the inside is a bit dated but the fresh made food makes up for it. During this visit we had generals chicken, moo-sho vegetable, sweet n sour chicken, house chow fun, fried rice and vegetable Lomein. We also started with sweet n sour soup and a wanton soup. While this is the best Chinese food in the area it's also the most expensive but worth it for what you get from a portion perspective and food quality perspective. This will continue to be the only Chinese restaurant we go to! read more

SEAFOOD CHOW FUN w/Gravy - chock full of seafood, stuff I haven't seen in decades squid, calamari, shrimp scallops with lots of gravy & bok choy, only minor thing is no enough noodles HOUSE SPECIAL FRIED RICE - included everything and it was finished to the last grain, shrimp bbq pork chicken MONGOLIAN BEEF - luscious tender beef so so good, only minor thing is it was a little oily. Even though it was 8:30pm the place had a few families dining in and steady stream take out orders. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ all this for $70 ***DÉCOR: the outside doesn't look anything like it would house a great Chinese restaurant. Inside has various booths and sparkly chandeliers. Mish mash of style ***SERVICE: superb service. Food came lightning fast, they were always on top of filling our water getting extra napkins for us. Top notch service, So attentive ***RECOMMEND: HIGHLY RECOMMEND & will definitely make this part of my Chinese food craving rotation read more

One of the server saw us and she decided to wait and talk to other customers in a social way instead of serving us. However, some were nice to refill water and check up on us. I am very grateful that this location is open closer rather than having a far drive to Sandy Springs. The food here is good, my favorite part was the fried calamari. Duck barely had any meat though. The location atmosphere here was decent. Coming as a group helps as well since there can be split payment from the feast! read more

I've always done take out and the food is great every time. This is my go to when I want good fast Chinese food.

I had been wanting to try this location for a while. Reminded me of the restaurants my family had growing up, but putting nostalgia aside it wasn't as good as I had hoped. The Crab Rangoons had barely any filling, and Beef Chow Fun tasted weird like the pan it was cooked it was dirty or the oil was. Something wasn't right. I'll definitely give it another try especially since it's so close to the house, so fingers crossed for the next visit to be better! read more

5 stars and if I could add on another star I would. Stumbled across this place while in Kennesaw and mannnnn they changed my life. I've been in Atlanta for over 10 years now and this is the best Chinese food spot I've had. Great food, Great Portions & a Great Price. Also the sweet tea was really good as well. They serve it in a little tea pot and it felt like I filled my glass up 3x lol. I stay out in the Loganville/Grayson area which is about a hour or so away. The portions are big so you'll have some to take home. Customer Service was pretty good as well. They were attentive and friendly. I will definitely be making my way up here again.

The salt and pepper squid was great. The won ton soup was great. The service was great. Highly recommend.

We came for a family meal with 6 of us and this definitely wasn't our first or last time. We've been in quite a few times and love this place We tried the honey garlic chicken wings today $17 which were delicious! So glad we tried these out! They were tender and so flavorful! I loved the sauce! Dungeness crab with ginger and scallion (~$45). We normally get the sea bass ~$60 but tried this today instead. It was ok but I wasn't a huge fan. The crab may have been overcooked because the shell stuck to the meat so it was a pain to take apart but it tasted pretty good. Flavor wasn't too strong on the inside although I wouldnt mind a little more gingery We always get salt & pepper squid and it is so delicious. Perfectly crispy every time, just salty enough and pairs well with the jalapenos! We got the house crispy noodle. I forgot what it's actually called but it was great, love the texture difference in the crispy outside noodles and soft inside noodles. It came with a ton of toppings too For a vegetable, we always get snow pea leaves and they're a great side item - garlicky, not too salty. House fried rice had tons of meat in it and rice was the optimal texture - great size portion. I believe $14.50 ish Not pictured but we also got Egg rolls: they are huge so we always split them but they are filled with veggies! Dragon soup: love this soup for a group, kinda pricey for soup but it's such a great way to begin a meal that we get it anyways! It's got lots of minced meat and great umami flavor This location is much closer to me so we choose to come here but both locations have been great to us!

Best place for Cantonese Chinese food imo around the north Cobb area. You can't get this type of dishes anywhere else around the area. Sure you can get Chinese food but not like this. Not pictured is the fish maw soup. It was so good, I basically drank it like a Gatorade after running a 5k. If you want to eat ginger scallion lobster right, you got to dig in there with your hands. There's no way you can eat it pretty and actually enjoy it. I got it to-go and went berserk on it w. My gf. It was super good. Prices were good. I ordered take out and was informed it would be ready within 15 mins, their service was really expedient. Picked up my food on a Saturday evening and they had a full house, it seemed like. I def recommend checking Canton cook out for good and authentic food. read more

This is our family's new fave place to go to. They have your typical American chinese fare and then some traditional chinese meals as well. Food always comes fresh and piping hot. Quick and no fuss. Food is jam packed with flavor. Now, some of their dishes can come heavy handed with the breading and the sauces that it's overwhelming - hence, minus one star. With that said, the breaded/ fried foods aren't oily - a great sign that they cook food in high temp. My faves: pan fried noodles with shrimp. Honey garlic or Peking fried pork chops (you may want to ask them to go easy on the sauce) and their egg drop soup. Sometimes, we order off of the "dinner combo" menu where you get two bowls of soup, 2 pork egg roll, 4 fried chicken wing, rice and 2 meat entrees for $43. So far, everything we've ordered came out quick, fresh, and tasty. They also give out gigantimous portions!! All in all, solid execution on food when it comes to quantity and quality. Again, I do wish they're lighter with the breading and the sauce as it can quickly get overwhelming for certain dishes. Service is fast and straightforward. Def recommend checking it out. read more

I'll be candid. Our last few meals didn't come close to what we experienced when they first opened. I was ready to write this place off as another in a line of typical suburban Chinese American restaurants. But Canton Cook redeemed its reputation with last night's dinner. Delish! While I usually prefer "dry" chow fun, I had a feeling their version with black bean sauce would hit the mark. And it did! A generous portion, lots of beef and the sauce was not overbearing, as I've found in other restaurants. Salt and pepper squid -- listed as 'fried spicy salted squid' on the menu -- was very good. Leftovers for me, tonight. Yay! read more
