    Pork Egg Roll (mostly cabbage)
    Craig G.

    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.

    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!

    Egg foo young

    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!

    Won Ton Soup

    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!!

    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.

    Mongolian Beef, egg roll, chicken wing, fried rice and egg drop soup $10.95

    Great place for lunch. Prices are very reasonable. $11.75 for most lunch dishes. Servings are plentiful and service is excellent . Dinner is equally good but pricey. I love the Mongolian beef. Try them, you won't be disappointed.

    Beef with black mushrooms
    Hap C.

    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.

    Does not even look like edible gyoza!

    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.

    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.

    I've eaten here three times in the past few months and have absolutely loved it. The menu is pretty…read morelarge so I always struggle to choose a dish, but it is always delicious regardless of what I pick. I've had their braised spicy beef noodle soup, salt and pepper tofu, mini juicy buns, and Szechuan style Wonton and they were all amazing. They also have a whole sushi and lunch section, but I haven't tried them yet. My friend got the Szechuan spicy beef and the portion size was comically large. I view that as a good thing but it also confused me because I don't see how anyone could eat even close to that much so I'm wondering if it is expected to be eaten differently than I am assuming. Not only was it a lot of food, it was also quite spicy so you'd have to be a tank to finish it. I gave this a lower score originally because of a bad health inspection, but they fixed it so I'm bringing it up to 5 stars. This is what I originally wrote: I really want to rate this place 5 stars based on my experience. Unfortunately, I must inform you that they received a 51/100 health inspection score yesterday (2/18/2026), so imma leave it at 3 for now and hopefully update once they fix that problem. It was on a routine inspection too. I've worked in a few restaurants that have had that sort of visit and we always knew long beforehand, so we'd use the few days prior to make things look perfect for the inspection, and then the kitchen would fall back to their usual lower sanitary conditions afterwards. I can't even imagine how a restaurant gets a 51 from a routine inspection. It implies that the regular conditions are bad and the management is ineffective or that the regular conditions are so awful that the preparatory cleaning wasn't enough. I think a grade of U forces them to have a follow up visit sometime soon that determines if they can even stay in business. So hopefully I get to update this quickly.

    First impressions were a new restaurant with clean tables, friendly staff, and a nice smell…read more Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. 5 stars for the service. I would come back just to have her serve our table!! The pork soup dumplings were delicious with a flavorful soup inside it. I had never had Shanghai pan fried pork dumplings before as I was only interested in the soup dumplings. Not sure which ones I prefer now. Both are amazing!!! The sauce was so good with both types of dumplings. Not to forget the sautéed green beans. The flavor and texture were perfect. Paired with shredded pork the meal was amazing. I can stop driving all the way over to Buford hway or John's Creek to have great Chinese food!! Great job guys and gals!!!
