    Stopped by for a midday lunch with my coworkers and we had a blast. On arrival we were quickly greeted and sat, even without a reservation. My coworker had been to this location before so she was a pro with the menu and made sure my first dim sum experience was top tier. I loved trying all of her favorite dishes and reviewing the menu for a few options I wanted to try. Everything we tried came out fresh and hot. We really enjoyed the ambiance and the family size dining options. I'm not sure what all we ordered but def check out my pictures to show the waitress if you see anything you'd like to try!

    This is my go-to spot for dim sum around Atlanta. This place has plenty of seating but it can still fill up fast. It's best to get there early on the weekends to avoid a long wait time. There is plenty of parking in front and behind the restaurant, including handicap spots and a ramp to the entrance, making it accessible. They have such a variety of dim sum, but my favorites are the turnip cakes, shumai, and spicy pork spare ribs. I love finishing off with a red bean bun for dessert too! I highly recommend trying their Peking duck too -- you need to order that off the menu. It comes with tasty bao buns and hoisin sauce, and they chop it up in front of you. It's such a fun experience and tastes delicious too. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. They make sure you have everything you need and try to bring the carts around frequently.

    My parents and I arrive at 10:40 AM on this Saturday morning, and there were already a lot of tables filled. Staff was extremely helpful and gave us a close table as my mom has difficulty walking. Immediately the carts came with an assortment of dim sum dishes. My mom loves chicken feet and got two I enjoyed the fried shrimp ball and the vegetable which was like collard greens. My dad enjoyed his dishes as well. We tried to come on Christmas for dinner, but the line was out the door. My parents enjoyed the dim sum!

    General Tsao Chicken (Sauce on the Side)
    Lily S.

    *DOORDASH REVIEW* General tso chicken is not good. Chicken is cold and way too breaded. The sauce, even though packaged separately, was bitter/ tasted like a weird syrup. Hot n sour soup is not hot nor sour, was bitter also. Never again.

    Butterfly Shrimp (really good)

    To be honest, our first visit (about a year ago) was absolutely terrible. The servers were unfriendly, unhelpful, and condescending. We left after ordering only two dim sum items. Fast forward to 8/2025. We decided to give them another chance because they were highly recommended by a fellow Yelper, and I noticed the recent reviews were all positive. I'm glad we did, because the staff was friendly and accommodating (not at all like they were previously). It was a complete 180 from our previous experience. We were able to try more items because we actually received menus, and they were all really good. The chicken shu mai was my favorite. Just a heads up, it was pretty cold inside when we went, so I'd recommend wearing something to cover your arms to stay warm, and order the hot tea :)

    This is the original location. We arrived when they first opened. Service was pretty good as we were seated quickly and our hot tea arrived shortly. The carts with dim sum was a bit slow to come around but decent choice options between fried and steamed items. My personal favorites were the shrimp siu mai (skip the shrimp ha gaw- unfortunately they seemed to have changed how they made them and were extremely bland), shrimp rice rolls and the shrimp wrapped in tofu skin. Go for the egg tarts - perfectly sweet and flaky and the red bean sesame balls. Will skip the mochi next time as they didn't really have a good mango flavor. Overall still a good stop for dim sum. Pro tip - bring cash (its not cash only but they gave a discount for paying with cash)

    Spacious dim sum restaurant with rolling carts that wasn't too busy on a Saturday noon! Got seated immediately for 2 which was a shock coming from the Bay Area, CA where every dim sum joint has a wait. Food was a solid 3 here, not amazing but not bad. Includes all the standard savory and sweet dimsum fare with a bit more. Milk tea and Vietnamese coffee on carts were new for me lol. My favorites were the sweets - great egg tarts with flaky crust and smooth custard and the liu sha bao - not sure what it is in english but steamed bun with runny custard. The service was great though - carts came regularly and it was pretty English friendly - first time seeing some young high school/college aged kids push cart instead of all older aunties! One of the guys helping us was very kind and immediately brought us what we asked for when we couldn't find it on the carts. We also requested the liu sha bao and he said sorry it's gonna take 10 minutes. I assumed we would have forgotten because it was starting to get busy, but he brought it to us after 10 minutes! We were pleasantly surprised. I might try other dim sum spots before deciding to come back, but this place is pretty solid especially if you are trying dim sum for the first time and don't know Chinese since they are English friendly. There was a mix of Chinese families and all other kinds of folks!

    I am craving for dumplings. This place has a lots of steam & fried dumplings. I don't eat pork, they have shrimp and chicken. The vegetables is good, tasty, and crunchy. The service is good. They came to your table with cart full of dumplings. So you just grab it from the carts. Next time I will try the lo mien. The restaurant is big and comfortable. Very good for family gatherings.

    This is one of my favorite places in Atlanta to get traditional Chinese dim sum. From the stuffed shrimp crab claws to the Hong Kong lobster the favors in the dishes here are phenomenal. The service is great Van has been there a long time and is like family! The place is great for large parties as well!

    Original Chicken Shumai

    As someone who had never had Dim Sum before, all I can say is, this was bad for me because now I can see myself being addicted to it! Canton House was so delicious. The food was authentic, flavorful, filling, and just overall great! I really enjoyed the cart service and being able to have different things come around for me to try. My favorite things I ate were the Short Ribs , Steamed Taro Buns, and Original Chicken Shumai. We came on a Saturday around 1:40, so i'd say it may be better to come early to have more options, but its very casual and you can start eating immediately! I've always been a fan of tapas, so this was perfect for me. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves dumplings or is a foodie!

    HOUSE have I not written a review for the first dim sum restaurant I have ever visited in Atlanta, before I even moved here in 2009. Canton House is an institution and a classic. My most recent visit was in 2022 - although I haven't been back since. We came for weekend dim sum and didn't have to wait for a table when we were seated at 10:30am. It quickly got busy as we were eating. Starting at 10am on weekends, dimsum dishes are delivered by cart - the dining room is large but spread out and we were able to get quite a display of food pretty quickly. Everything is solid - nothing mind blowing but when you're craving cart-style dimsum, it works in a pinch. Definitely one of the better dim sum options on Buford Highway.

    This is the go to place for Dim Sum in the Atlanta area! The food is fresh and delicious. My buddy and I shared steamed shrimp dumplings, sticky rice with chicken, and steamed pork from the carts. See pictures. All were very good. There is also menu order, but we did not try that. Price is very reasonable for the quality. Service is prompt. If you order from the menu, they bring it out from the kitchen. But our favorite is to wait for the dim sum carts, get description of each, and make our selection. Great large seating area with large tables for big groups. Very open and inviting place to dine. We had lunch here after a hike at Stone Mountain (see separate review). Conveniently located on busy Buford Highway. Worth going out of your way to find this place. Enjoy!

    I've come here twice, for their dim sum and for their normal restaurant menu. I thought their dim sum was pretty good! When I came the first time they did not do cart service in the evening but the second time it seems they started doing it in the evenings and they came around several times asking if we wanted anything so it seems their cart service is pretty good! Their fish maw soup is absolutely delicious! And everything else was pretty good as well! I have no complaints. The second time I came with my parents and it was really slow to even get a table, even though half the restaurant was empty but the waiting area was PACKED. Not sure what was going on there. Several people had reservations and we were all packed in the waiting room so that was a little frustrating, especially for the people with reservations I would think. Once someone got to us though, we were seated right away. My mother loved the rice noodles that she got! She wouldn't stop talking about it and it was indeed delicious. Their portions were very generous. The cart service people were on top of it but the normal servers were lacking a bit for sure. But anyways, would recommend both their dim sum and their normal dine in menu! Just expect it to be a little slower if you're not there for dim sum

    Ask the Community - Canton House

    Does the Buford Highway location take reservations? I'm thinking of organizing a dinner with a bunch of my friends.

    Yes you can call and make the reservations

    Is dim sum only served during the day? Trying to get a group together for an evening dim sum outing on Buford Highway and was wondering if they serve dim sum in carts for dinner?

    No dim sum carts for dinner but you can order dim sum off their menu

    Do you also serve dim sum for weekend dinner?

    Yes, they serve dim sum all hours that they're open. During weekend dinner hours, you'll have to order dim sum through your server, since they won't have the dim sum carts available at that time.

    Vegan dim sum available?

    If they do, it's probably very few. I don't think Vegan dim sum even exists unless you're using fake meat.

    What is the best time to go here?

    Right when they open to beat the crowds and get freshly made dim sum.

    Are you open, tomorrow, July 4? If so, what hours?

    Can I order dim sum carry out?

    Yes.

    What time do they serve dim sum?

    They actually serve dim sum all day, but the carts start rolling at 10 am on Saturdays and Sundays and stop rolling by around 3 pm. Go early to avoid standing in line, because people are starting to go back to Canton House on the weekends. The dim… Read more

    How does the dim sum work here? Is it on the carts and all you can eat? Like with a punch card, similar to nyc style dim sum restaurants? Also what's the price range for it?

    Yes you order from the cart (or the waiter, if you've been waiting a while and can't spot the food you want) and they'll punch the card accordingly for the price. Price range I estimate around 3-5$ per cart dish. Sm and lg dishes vary in price too.… Read more

    Is there a bar? Do they have a liquor license or is it BYOB?

    There isn't a bar. I know they serve champagne during weddings.

    Do they offer dim sum during the weekdays? If so, are the options limited compared to the weekends?

    Canton House offers the same dim sum options during the weekdays and weekends, but generally have the roaming dim sum carts only during the times when they have the most diners in the restaurant during lunch hours on weekdays.

    Are the dim sum carts pushed all day just certain hours during the day?

    All Day

    Does Canton House serve Dim Sum during the Friday night dinner service?

    Call to confirm, but I think they serve dim sum until 9pm every night.

    Does dim sum serve on weekdays if so what time does it start?

    It is on the weekend

    Is Dim Sum only available on the weekends?

    Served everyday.

    Is dim sum served all day on saturdays? How does pricing work for dim sum?

    Dim sum is served all day 7 days a week. The price is per plate. Different plate different price.

    So they only serve dim sum before 3pm?

    It's considered brunch, late morning to near lunch time.

    What time is dim sum served on Sundays?

    All day starting at 10:30 am. But the freshes and most variety would be from 11:00 - 3 pm

We were a party of 5 and found both the food and the service to be inconsistent. The Food: Most dishes were mediocre or worse. The Three Cups Chicken (1/5) was the worst I've ever had. The Hong Kong Style Shrimp (1/5) was just bland, tasteless fried shrimp. The Lamb with Scallion (2/5) was far too salty. The only "average" dish was the Spicy Beef and Tendon (3/5), but one decent dish can't save a meal this poor. The Service & Billing: The service was quite slow during our visit. We waited a long time for the check and eventually ended up packing our own leftovers and heading to the front counter to pay so we could head out. I was also surprised to see an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, especially since it was calculated on the total after tax ($23.07 tip on a $106.80 subtotal). While I understand automatic tips for groups, it felt a bit high due to poor services. There are a lot of great dining spots in the area, but based on this disappointing visit, I'm sure I would not return to this one.

This place still…read morehas some of the best dim sum in metro Atlanta, but the dine-in experience continues to seriously lack. You come here purely for the food, not the service or atmosphere. If you want traditional pushcart service, go to a place like Canton House or Royal China. Best BBQ is more ideal for takeout. When it comes to Atlanta, arguably five stars for the dim sum and other Chinese food alone. Here's what four of us got this time: D3. Chicken Feets [sic] ($7) D5. Beef Tripe ($7) D10.

Fish Cake with Chives Flowers ($24) - includes soup and bowl of white rice Fisherman's Congee ($11) Roast Duck Congee ($13) Everything was fresh and delicious with generous portions. We skipped the line and ordered using the big tablet. Menu descriptions are non-existent, so if you don't know what something is, you're taking a chance. That's what I did with the Fisherman's Congee which turned out to have something I was allergic to (crustaceans). That's okay because the others ate it and I ordered a Roast Duck Congee instead. Yum. Service: Orders are called out on a microphone/speaker and you pick up at the counter. They forgot my chicken feet so I had to go up with my receipt and ask. They pulled their copy from the spike and made it right, with some squabbling among the employees in the process. Everyone had to bus their own tables. One employee cleaned the floor with rags instead of a mop. Not ideal. Overall, the dining room did not feel clean. The restroom was relatively decent, though. Atmosphere: We visited during a peak time, on a Sunday around 12:45 PM. The place was packed. Luckily, we were able to find a table. My wife described the scene as "chaotic." I call it authentic. :)

The skin is perfectly soft with just the right chew, and everything tastes fresh and made to order. What makes it even better? XL dumplings starting at just $7. For the portion and quality, that's an insane deal. Plus, they even serve complimentary hot tea, which makes the whole experience feel even more authentic. The vibe is casual and no-frills, but that's how you know the food is legit. It's definitely a local favorite for a reason. If you're craving big, juicy dumplings in ATL, this spot is a MUST.

    Well here's an unenthusiastic update to my last review, so pardon the lackluster vibe. The food was…read moreso-so this time around. We ordered pan fried buns and instead received Chinese donuts in the bag :( I didn't realize it until we got home, but I never had an issue with this place so it didn't occur to me that they prepared (or packed?) the wrong thing. If I ever return, I'll know to do better than expect the correct order and check everything before heading out. The crab rangoon was still flavorful but whatever dough they wrapped it with this time was so freaking tough that it cut the top of my mouth. My jaw should not get a workout from eating crab rangoon of all things. Another disappointment in the bag. But the beef entree we ordered was good, yet overshadowed by the other letdowns of the night's visit given that I can't really remember what exactly we ate. I'm going to remove another star for the unhygienic practices I witnessed that I was perhaps blissfully ignorant of my last time visiting. It's hard to look past a server comfortably coughing into their hand and proceeding to handle multiple patrons' plates and orders without as much of a squirt of sanitizer. I will say though they are quite dedicated to the customer. As I was sitting in the parking lot waiting 10-15min for my order to finish, someone clearly forgot their food and the same hacking server ran out to give it to them. Oh wait! Turns out that was actually our food being jostled around as he ran through the parking lot searching for the owner. I was watching the time and planned on returning but maybe I wasn't moving fast enough for this guy lol. He did all that just for the order to be wrong.... Damn bro. I prayed he didn't box the food. I guess we didn't come on a good day? I really don't know what happened but the entire experience was off. Based on the night's events, I don't know if I'll return. No pictures this time... I was too pissed off. Didn't fight the incorrect order either as I was too tired and really only ordered here because Northern China Eatery was closed. At least the food was decent. Heavy on the word "decent".

    Overall One of the…read morebetter dim sum and Cantonese style Chinese food experiences I've had in the Duluth area. A few standout dishes were so good they almost carried the whole meal to a 5. Best dishes (the reasons to come) 1) Salt and pepper squid This one was excellent. Fried well, not greasy heavy, topped with plenty of fried garlic, plus cilantro and fresh cabbage to balance the richness. Super satisfying and well executed. 2) Dried chow fun with beef Also a standout. Great texture and temperature, well seasoned, and the ingredients felt evenly distributed instead of clumped or uneven. This dish was done right. 3) Eggplant in a small pot Served in a small pot that keeps it warm for a long time, which makes a big difference. There's a lot of sauce, but you can reduce how salty it tastes by how you scoop and serve it. Comforting and flavorful. If you ordered just these three, you'd already have a great meal. Other dishes (good, not amazing) Coconut shrimp The shrimp itself was cooked well, and I appreciated the broccoli on the side to balance the heaviness. The issue was the sauce: way too much. It got soggy fast and leaned too sweet and too salty. Next time, I'd ask for the sauce on the side so you can control it. We also tried a vegetable dish and a fish dish. Both were decent, but not particularly memorable. Tea They serve tea if you order it. The chrysanthemum tea was pretty good, and I liked that it was loose leaf. Atmosphere and service We went around 2:30 to 3:00 pm, so it wasn't crowded. The vibe felt very local and family friendly. It's an older building, but clean enough and inviting. Service was great, and it seemed even smoother if you have someone in your group who can speak Cantonese. Would I return? Yes. I'd come back, especially for the salt and pepper squid, dried chow fun with beef, and the eggplant pot.

They did not skimp on the protein, the bottom of the dish is veggies but I don't mind because I love vegetables and it's still very filling. Food came out pretty quick and the workers were courteous. A great place to get a cheap and tasty meal.

    First time trying Chong Qing Hot Pot for lunch, located inside Chinatown Market, and walking in…read morehonestly felt like stepping straight into China. The whole setup is like a mini food hall with several authentic Chinese spots to choose from--but Chong Qing is where I landed. I ordered the crispy chicken with garlic sauce and swapped the white rice for a side of house lo mein (yes, it's an upcharge, but worth it). Everything came out on real dishes--not to-go boxes--which I loved. You order and pay at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Now let's talk about the food... DELICIOUS. The spice level was just right--flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. If you like it hotter, you can definitely add more heat, but I was perfectly satisfied as is. The lo mein was really good too--veggies were fresh with a nice crisp (those onions and carrots were hitting!), and everything tasted well-balanced. Only small note: I wish there was a little more meat in the dish, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. And let me say this--the portion size is VERY generous. I ate until I was full and still had just as much left to take home, which is always a win in my book. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try more. If you're in Chinatown Market and not sure what to pick, Chong Qing Hot Pot is a solid choice. 4/5 stars for me!

I ended up order the sweet and sour chicken with white rice and veggie egg roll. My husband ordered the garlic eggplant with fried rice and hot/sour soup. Plus, we shared veggie fried noodles for long life because we stopped here for my birthday. Service was wonderful and we got our food fairly quick. They were really good at refilling our water and clearing the table free of trash. I really enjoyed the noodles as it had tons of veggies, but an overwhelming amount of bean sprouts. The sweet and sour chicken delivered as it was both sweet and sour and I had plenty of leftovers. I found the veggie spring roll quite oily though, but it did its job.

Amazing food, excellent service, and amazing food; it warranted repeating. I just moved back in to town and was excited to have my favorite Cantonese food in Atlanta but honestly, after our meal today, I don't know that I'll be back and I certainly won't be bringing any more of my friends. Service: Everyone was still really kind. But the food came out slowly for how dead they were. We were halfway there of our dishes when I mentioned to the waiter that two more dishes were missing. He spoke with the waiter who took our order and they said they were coming. A half hour later and the dishes still hadn't arrived. I asked again and they apologize profusely and said it would be out shortly. Unfortunately, that's where the niceties ended... Food: Overall, the food was really bad. The best thing about Cantonese food is how complex the flavors are and when there is a good chef, it is my favorite cuisine in the world. That is what BBQ Corner has been in the past...but not anymore. All of the dishes, especially dishes with sauce, were overly sweet and very one note. The eggplant with garlic came with a bright red sauce that had no garlic in it. When I mentioned to the waiter that it was the wrong sauce, she said "No, that is spicy garlic sauce." I have had that dish at this restaurant at least five times and more than 20 times elsewhere. It was the wrong sauce and the sauce wasn't good. She and another waiter spoke to the kitchen and later apologized. Assessment: I think ownership changed and they took their cooks with them. Instead of the lite, complex flavors of Cantonese food of which they were once masters, this meal felt like mediocre Chinese takeout. While the waitstaff is lovely and mistakes happen (I still tipped 30% because it was Christmas), the food just wasn't good enough to warrant a return trip. I'm sad because this place used to be my favorite...one summer a friend and I ate there three times in one week. But things have changed and definitely not for the better.

New Lan Zhou Noodle is one of the restaurants in the China Town food court. It's pretty popular due to their freshly made daily pulled noodles. Pre-pandemic, you used to be able to see them do it behind a glass screen. Now, you cannot see the back kitchen. Hubby and I ordered a noodle dish each (him was Seafood and mines were Short Ribs) along with their soup dumplings (that they're known for) and Twisted Cruellers. Food took very long to make, but it's understandeable. Bowls were very big and full. Meats looks good, but the white broth did not look good at all. We took a spoonful of broth to start off with without adding any condiments and OMG...no flavor at all! We were thoroughly disappointed. The meats part were good and tender (though again, no flavor), but most disappointing was that even with condiments, the broth was bland. We kept on saying to each other that we will not order from here again. The noodles were just okay. Nothing earth shattering about it. Twisted cruellers tasted like it was just heated from a frozen one. I didn't get to taste the soup dumplings because we were running late for appt since the foods took so long and had to pack it to-go. I can't really comment on that. I will not order from here again and would like to try the surrounding stalls around it.
