    Salted egg yolk shrimp
    Nghia V.

    I had so much high expectations for Canton House. We went here for dinner. They also offered dimsum at all hours but it takes bit longer to make. We ordered family style dinner including steamed sea bass, peking duck 2 courses, wonton soup, salt egg yolk shrimp, salted egg yolk spare ribs, yeah we love salted egg yolk stuff haha, and snow pea with crabmeats, panfried noodles, and stir fry steak in red wine sauce. Everything was salty except the steamed sea bass and the duck. I have no idea what the chef was smoking. But everything was so salty we basically have to get extra white rice to go with everything.

    It's pretty busy, and I'm not sure if it's because of the holiday season or if they get this much business normally for their dim sum. It's a big space that fits many people, so it's good for families. They even have private rooms if that's preferable for bigger groups. We were a group of 7, and someone had arrived earlier to start our wait for a table. By the time we were seated, we were asked and served tea pretty quickly and could start ordering food. For the most part, we did get food from the carts and only ordered a beef chow fun, which was pretty good though heavy on the onion for some. The dim sum was ok. Steamed items like ha gao and siu mai were as expected. It would be strange, and bad, if they messed up on either of them. The lo mai fan (sticky rice) and beef tripe were pretty good as well. The chicken feet was bright red and alright in flavor. It was a little sweet, and I would've liked a stronger black bean taste and some spice. From there, the rest of their dim sum offerings that we got weren't great. All their fried items were cold. Makes sense because the carts make their rounds, but we weren't pleased with other items being cold like lo bak go (turnip cake). If you want to try dim sum, it's not a bad experience to have it here, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I may get same or better if I tried somewhere else. It was very interesting to see bubble tea being pushed in the carts though. Not worth getting a drink you can't specify to your liking.

    **November 3, 2024** I dined at Canton House Restaurant and Event Hall, which is fairly new and under the same ownership as the original Canton House on Buford Highway. Located in Duluth, it offers ample parking. The restaurant is spacious, featuring modern decor that's both stylish and inviting. I was seated quickly since I arrived right when they opened, but the food carts started coming out slowly. We ordered a variety of traditional dishes: shrimp shu mai, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, shrimp rice rolls, and shrimp paste rolls with crab claw. The shrimp shu mai had a tender wrapper but lacked the flavor punch I expected. The shrimp dumplings were delicate, with good flavor. The chicken feet were cooked well and taste good. The shrimp rice rolls were soft and slightly chewy, but again, they didn't quite reach the level of the original location. Finally, the shrimp paste rolls in crab claw were kinda soft rather than crispy. Overall, the food was just okay. The service was good, and I must say, the restaurant itself is stunning and very clean.

    Canton House hosted our group holiday party. Beautiful banquet hall and restaurant with high tech audio visual equipment to make any party extra special. Best of all, Peter snd Kam were so attentive and caring to make sure we had a great experience! Service was on point. Peter helped create a varied menu for our group that everyone seemed to enjoy very much. The food looked great and was good, but overall not as good as their Buford Hwy location. Still very enjoyable, especially the seafood soup, honey walnut Shrimp, and fried sole with ginger scallion.

    Dim sum. Mango and coconut stuffed mochi.

    Short version: Canton House serves good dim sum in Duluth. It's worth visiting. I'd be happy to come back here. That said, I think the dim sum at Royal China is better, but your experience could be different. Long version: This review is for Canton House's second location on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth, "Canton House Restaurant & Event Hall." It opened in May 2024. Canton House's original location is on Buford Highway in Chamblee. The business started in 1994. It's family owned and operated. For those unfamiliar, Canton House has been a staple for dim sum and Chinese (Cantonese) food in metro Atlanta for decades. The Buford Highway location has been popular among the local Asian community and beyond for a long time. Canton House is known not only for its food, but also as a wedding/event venue. I went to a wedding reception at Canton House Chamblee in 2014. It was really cramped. Canton House Duluth is completely different. It's a lot bigger and much nicer. They won't have that problem here. Canton House joined Happy Valley and Royal China as Chinese and dim sum restaurants from the Buford Highway area to: (1) open in and/or relocate to Gwinnett County and (2) expand into bigger spaces designed for handling large events. Canton House Duluth is a lot like Royal China in both its large size and grandiose appearance. Think fancy, shiny hotel ballrooms with high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, banquet-style seating (lots of round tables with Lazy Susans), formally-dressed servers, and elegant style and decor. This location has a totally different look and feel than Chamblee, which is more like a traditional Chinese restaurant. During our visit, dim sum prices were as follows: Small plates: $4.75 each Medium plates: $5.75 each Large plates: $6.00, $8.00, or $9.00 each We showed up around 1:30pm on a Sunday and all the push carts were still out. I've observed peak dim sum hours in metro Atlanta to be around 11:00am to 1:00pm on weekends. We stayed until about 3:00pm. By that time, some of the carts had disappeared. However, many items could still be requested. We were seated immediately upon arrival. There was no wait like I'd seen in pictures online. In fact, the huge dining room was over half empty. The atmosphere would've been better if it was busier. We were swarmed with carts and served right away. Good service. Below is a list of what five of us got. Numbers in parenthesis indicate number of pieces per plate. Numbers preceded by an 'x' indicate number of plates. * Congee with century egg, green onion, and youtiao (deep-fried wheat flour dough) x5 - served into bowls and finished tableside * Egg tarts (2) * Steamed barbecue pork buns (cha siu bao) (2) * Baked barbecue pork buns (2) * Baked egg custard buns (2) * Mango stuffed mochi (3) * Coconut stuffed mochi (3) * Beef tripe (reticulum, omasum) * Beef tripe "soup" - served tableside into a bowl with all sorts of beef offal * Shrimp dumplings (har gow) (4) * Chicken dumplings (shumai) (4) * Pork and shrimp dumplings (shumai) (4) * Lotus leaf rice * Steamed pork spare ribs with douchi (fermented and salted black soybeans) x2 * Beef short ribs * Pork pot stickers (dumplings) (3) * Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce * Turnip cake (3) - pudding made with mix of shredded white radish, dried shrimp, Chinese sausage and mushroom; steamed, sliced, and pan-fried * Taro dumplings (2) - deep-fried dumplings with mashed taro, diced mushrooms, shrimp, and pork * Steamed rice noodle rolls with beef (3) - they also had shrimp * Non-spicy chicken feet * Spicy chicken feet * Egg white and milk pudding x2 Overall, we found the dim sum to be sufficiently fresh and tasty. The only item we wouldn't get again is the mango stuffed mochi. While the consistency of the mochi was good, the flavor wasn't appetizing. I think the filling was mango puree. On the other hand, the coconut mochi, filled with coconut cream, was quite yummy. Everyone enjoyed the congee. My favorite items were the egg tarts, steamed and baked barbecue pork buns, beef tripe (not the "soup," but the smaller version), pork spare ribs, beef short ribs, and steamed rice noodle rolls with beef. I also liked the egg white and milk pudding. My wife's favorites were the pork pot stickers, turnip cake, and taro dumplings. The beef tripe "soup" was unique and not bad. It was filled with so many different organs that not even the staff could tell me what everything was. The lotus leaf rice and chicken feet, generally two of my favorite dim sum items, were just OK. The lotus leaf rice was too dense and sticky (perhaps it sat out too long) and the chicken feet were a bit on the chewy side. I didn't see douhua -- soft tofu served with sweet ginger syrup. Side note: This shopping center, Pleasant Hill Square, has changed a lot. Gone are big-box stores Staples, JCPenney, Old Navy, Toys"R"Us, and Barnes & Noble. In are Canton House, Kang's Kitchen, Gohan AYCE Buffet, The Juicy Crab, and Yuki Asian Fusion.

    I dined at Canton House on Sunday, November 3, 2024 shortly after they opened. I was impressed by the overall aesthetics and size of the restaurant upon walking through the grandiose lobby area. Everything looked so clean and shiny. There was the large main dining area where I was seated, but there were also smaller private dining rooms available for private events if anyone is looking for a place to host any event (parties, wedding receptions, anniversaries, etc). The lighting however is all white LEDs, which made the restaurant feel like a hospital or school. The dim sum was pretty good. The carts did take a while to come out because I was seated within a couple minutes after opening. But all the staple dim sum dishes that I expected did come out. As far as taste and overall presentation goes, I think they were better than the first location. I would expect the food quality to be better because of how new this restaurant is. The shrimp dumplings and fried shrimp balls were my favorites and tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Everything from the steam cart tasted good. I think the service was nice, but could be more attentive. It took a while for waters to get refilled and to get the check and pay. However, I did appreciate how the hostess spread everyone out across the large dining space so it didn't feel like we were all in one space. Overall, this is such a big improvement to the first Canton House in terms of dim sum quality and dining experience. But in comparison to Royal China, I think Canton House is slightly inferior in terms of the ambience and dim sum options.

    Ah yes! Dim sum and then some. For Georgia, this isn't a bad spot for dim sum and it's all day! The food was actually pretty delicious. We ordered tons dim sum dishes none of them disappointed. Only thing I'd say is the sesame balls were a bit too hard or crunchy but it still tasted delicious nonetheless. If I'm in town again, This is one spot I'd try again. Service was really good! They tended to us despite how busy they were.This place is great for small or large parties. At the time we went there was a wedding going on. It was still a good time. Till then, let's eat!

    I came by with my family on a Monday afternoon having low expectations and not expecting cart service thinking we'd have to order by menu because like I said... it was a Monday afternoon. However, we were excited to see upon walking in that they did still have carts going around with dim sum! We were immediately seated at a table with plenty of space for our family. A high chair was promptly set up for my son, and when one of the employees saw me struggling to figure out the straps, he came over and assisted me in addition to giving me a child's plate and utensils without me even having to request it. He also asked if I'd like a child's water cup, which I declined because we already brought a sippy cup. This is not the service I'm typically used to getting dining out with a small toddler. As soon as we sat down, carts were immediately brought to our table, and we had food instantly. Honestly, it was so fast that the food was already on the table while I was figuring out the high chair. They were so attentive to the pace we were eating that every time we were low or out, carts would appear again. They gave us menus as well without us having to ask in case we wanted to order anything extra. I'm guessing because it was a Monday afternoon, what was on the carts was limited. I've never been to this new location before, but my husband had gone with friends the day prior (Sunday brunch- the true time to go for dim sum), and he told me they did have more options then. This was no surprise to me, and I have no complaints though because it's what I expected coming on a Monday afternoon. Whenever there wasn't something on the cart, I'd ask by showing a picture, and they'd tell me they would get it for me. They would cook several and add it to the carts, and before putting those dishes on the cart, they brought it to us personally first and asked how many we'd like of each. I was very impressed with the service and attentiveness. Taste and price are comparable to the other local dim sum places. But for this good of service, I'd likely frequent here as opposed to somewhere else from now on! Also, my photos are unimpressive because I got so caught up in eating and enjoying my food that I kept forgetting to take photos first. It was a nice cozy dining room area, and on the opposite side was the much bigger room probably used when the restaurant is busier and during weddings/events. It looks like a beautiful, spacious spot for a wedding reception and I'm interested to see/eat at a wedding here hopefully one day!

    Awesome banquet dinner. The restaurant is fairly new. Everything was clean bright and looking good. Restrooms were immaculately cleaned now for the food. It was your typical banquet dinner in which we ordered 12 courses so it was two hours of straight eating. We had soup, duck, beef, lobster, vegetables, fried rice, shrimp, calamari, and dessert. Every course was really, really good. The calamari was a little bit below par. The pieces were a bit small and fried a little bit too much. However, the rest of the food was exceptionally good. The stand out is the Peking duck that is just simply awesome. The meat was cooked with preserved veggies, which is not prepared in a way that I've had before before but it worked really well. The flavor so it just simply awesome And was just an explosion in your mouth of flavor. Well done the dessert was quite unique. It was mango pudding with tapioca. What a great way to finish the meal although the banquet took about two hours to eat all the courses. I was really happy and could've even ate more if I really pushed myself Loved every course.

    Beautiful Interior

    Beautiful Chinese banquet restaurant - this place is designed to host parties, wedding receptions, or a nice meal out with the family. The service was excellent! A common problem is running out of space on the lazy susan to put dishes, but the servers were attentive to gradually transferring dishes to smaller plates to make more space. The servers were also super helpful when it came to packing our food to-go. The food itself was decent - coming from Houston my Chinese food standards are just really high, but for what you can find in Atlanta, it is very solid! Not sure how the pricing is though - considering the interior I'd think it is a bit pricey. Would rec if you need a nice location to get solid Chinese food.

    Coming here on Mother's Day was absolute nuts. The mix of the new location along with them not even "officially" opening was kind of a wild ride. The OG Canton House is on Buford Highway, and when we heard that there was this location, we wanted to check it out. Unbeknownst to us, they were still technically in a soft opening when Mother's Day rolled around. When 10 AM rolled around, there was already a line out the door waiting for them to open. They didn't let anyone in when opening hour came around because it seemed like they didn't have enough workers there yet! After around 10:30 they started letting people in. And it was wild. I think they still have a lot of things to work out before it's running super smoothly. The one thing I noticed where we sat was we were in the middle. The Dim Sum carts went around the room, but never came to the middle! I think it's partially because there wasn't enough space but also I blame how busy it was. I think they forgot about the people in the middle of the dining hall. We had to pretty much flag someone down to place an order of what we wanted. The food was pretty good. I'm not really a dim sum connoisseur, but from what I thought it wasn't bad. I saw some items that was unexpected such as the Thai Tea and bobas rolling around on the carts. I didn't get the chance to try it though because we were forgotten and by that point we were about to leave. I would say to come on a weekday if possible so it's not too busy. I can see that this location is going to be really busy especially with all the parking and how convenient it is to get here. Finally I guess the biggest question is: "Can they compete with Royal China down the street?" At this current point, probably not. Maybe down the road they'll get better and it'll run smoother, but right now it's alright. Overall, they still need to figure stuff out, but after that I think they'll be smooth sailing.

    TL;DR - Not worth the wait. The interior is grand and well-lit. That's about all the positive I have for this place. The food is on the salty end. You get dishes similar to those of other Dim Sum places. They also serve drinks on a cart, like coffee, soy milk, and Thai tea. We got a Chicken Shu Mai, and it was not well done. Their service is on par with other Dim Sum places. They probably have a lot of kinks they are sorting out since they are newly opened. During our short hour, two waitresses dropped and shattered plates and glasses on the floor. I won't be coming back again. One time is enough. If you plan to go, go after the new opening frenzy. Check my video for how long the line is at 11:30.

I really like…read moretheir Chow Fun (I prefer beef, mom prefers seafood) and the dim sum items like Har Gow, Cheung Fun, Shanzhou Ngau Yuk, Ham Sui Gok, Lo Mai Fan and Jian Dui. They also have a shrimp wrapped in bacon deep fried and also shrimp in eggplant that are delicious. They have a large variety of dimsum. If you go too early, a lot of things won't be made yet and you will have to wait. Seems the later you go on the weekends, the more options they have. If you order pick up, give it about 25 minutes because they get so busy on the weekends. If you're dining in, it isn't always so easy to get a waiter's attention for things. So if you do, just ask for everything you think you'll need at once. Sometimes I just bring extra utensils and stuff with me so I don't have to wait for anyone to come over. I'm that girl that will put a bottle of Ranch in my bag (except it's chili oil or Sambal). They have chili oil at the tables and their chili oil is pretty good. If you're dining in they give you a discount if you pay with cash. The ambiance is of a typical dim sum place. Just come as you are in your sweats and enjoy your Yum Cha.

    I have to be honest... it's been a while since I last visited. We noticed that our friends have…read morebeen raving about this place suddenly so we visited.. the Dim sum was very tasty. We walked in a busy afternoon time and there was plenty of seating. We only had to wait about 10-15 min for a table of 7.

I really also enjoyed the chicken feet!another cool part was they brought a menu of additional items to order. We ordered the Chinese donut steam roll and the highlight was definitely the mochi meat "football" bun. Overall definitely our new favorite dim sum!

I found the pork belly to be really tasty. There was a nice marinade over the skin and meat, plus the skin was pretty crispy even when some of the pieces got a little too moist inside the container. I thought there was a generous portion of the crispy pork in my meal. There were some mustard greens in the rice plate which added nice variation in taste. I also got a small cup of complementary soup on the side which I did not try but it did smell good. Overall, I think that my meal was pretty good.

Having been at least once every couple months for years, it's our Chinese comfort food as dim sum is meant to be. Although I would recommend arriving at anytime they are open, we find the absolute best time for dim sum is to arrive right at opening on Saturday or Sunday. This time lets us beat the wait, get a great table fast, and the food is super plentiful, hot and fresh out of the kitchen. The chrysanthemum tea is a must have and complements the food as a perfect, tasty, and just sweet enough palate cleanser (although I would prefer to add the rock sugar myself to my tea, they serve it with sugar already inside the pot). For the absolute best pairing with your chrysanthemum tea, make sure to save room for the awesome pineapple buns while supplies last. They were out today and we all collectively cried (will be going back just for the pineapple buns soon...we are just not complete without them!). We love all the dishes, but our absolute favorites (outside of the pineapple buns) are the pork spare ribs with black bean, the beef rice rolls/noodles, shrimp dumplings, and turnip cakes. Add some spicy sauce to the spare ribs and turnip cakes to really set them off! For iced coffee lovers who like it really strong, don't pass up on the iced coffee. It has legs that are strong enough to walk, but completely complements the dim sum with a little extra boost to help you enjoy the day. So, I challenge others to find a better dim sum place in Atlanta. That is why Canton House earns my 5th star and looking forward to getting my pineapple buns (really) soon!

    I was quite surprised that I was able to get a table when I went on a Saturday 11ish AM (peak…read moredimsum hours!). Good service with the push carts rolling around passing the tables often. We started with the flower tea, amazing choice! Sweet and warming, nicely aromatic. Perfect start. Then the dim sum carts rolled in and we chowed down. DISHES I ORDERED - Siu Mai: Not the best I've had. Quite oily on the outside, but the flavor isn't bad. It does...taste like siu mai. It's just nothing spectacular - Chinese Broccoli: A classic! Very good - Beef Chow Fun: A very chewy and bouncy home made flat noodle dish. Savory, salty, and flavorful! Good amount of tender beef too. - Shrimp Balls: Crispy and fried on the outside, yummy, with good big shrimp ball. Yummy classic sweet and sour sauce too. Delicious - Egg Rolls: Good, not too oily, a normal egg roll - Spare ribs: Possibly my favorite dish! Tender, not too chewy, good savory sweet flavor. -- Overall, it's not bad but it's nothing to write home about. My favorite item was probably the spare ribs. The rest were standard in my opinion. However, service is fast since it is dimsum, so perfect to eat when hungry! Also great ambiance for big group parties or hangouts!

    We were walking around the shopping complex this restaurant is located in, and decided to dine here…read moreon a whim- SO glad we did! Want to start off by saying that we had such great service here- our waitress answered all our questions and was very attentive. Ambiance is good as well. Lots of parking available. We got a couple of things: - Pan fried pork buns: The bun was nice & fluffy with a crispy bottom and juicy meat filling. The sauce it came with was great too- perfectly sweet & vinegary. - Dry beef mixed noodles: The beef was super tender, and the noodles were flavorful. This is meant to be a cold dish, but my mom was a bit hesitant about that and they were more than willing to serve it hot! (I definitely recommend having it cold though haha) - Szechuan Numbed Pepper Broth: Got this with fatty beef. I know some similar places let you put the fillings into the broth yourself, but ours came already assembled (which is what I personally prefer). We loved how mala this broth is, probs my favorite dish we got. Also loved the texture and lightness of the rice noodles. Lots of great fillings like quail egg, spam, wood ear mushroom, cabbage. - Korean Kimchi Broth: Got this with pork chop (though actually it was pork ribs). This is a great choice if you want a tomato-y broth that has a hint of spice and acidity. Another instance of the great service because the pork ribs were kind of hard to eat with our utensils and when we asked if they could possibly cut it up, they did not hesitate to do so. Also, the pork was (again) so tender! Would, no doubt, come back for another meal here. 10/10 would recommend!

    Pretty good. I had the curry noodle with beef and it was very nice. The beef was tender and the…read moresoup itself was flavorful. The service was okay- not bad but not great. Not sure I'd return, mostly because i felt like i was inconveniencing the staff but glad we tried it. The inside is actually really pretty and you can tell they put thought and effort into it. I loved the wallpapers!

    Happy Valley Dim Sum & Cantonese Cuisine in Norcross, GA…read more Happy Valley has been around for about 30 years. This was actually my first time visiting their new location. My family has always been a fan of Happy Valley. Har Gow 9.5/10 Translucent skin with a full shrimp inside. The texture and flavor are very close to what I've had in Guangdong. Hong Kong Style Egg Tart 9/10 Best when they come out fresh. Flaky buttery crust with smooth egg custard and a golden top. Feng Zao (Chicken Feet) 8.5/10 Good color and the skin has the classic wrinkled texture from braising. The flavor is savory with a slight sweetness, though a little lighter than expected. Beef Tripe 8.5/10 Tender with a slight chew and absorbs the sauce well. The radish underneath was really good. Beef Rice Roll 7.5/10 The flavor is good, but the presentation is not very Cantonese style. The rice roll is slightly thick but has a nice rice fragrance. The soy sauce they use is not very authentic. I used to eat rice rolls almost every day for breakfast when I was in school in Guangzhou, so I am very picky about rice rolls. Pork Siumai 8.5/10 Pretty classic dim sum. Clams 7.8/10 The clams themselves are fresh and well cleaned. Do not be afraid to ask them to reheat if it comes out cold. However, the sauce was a bit too heavy for me.

    Overall I'd give…read morethis place a 2 to 2.5 out of 5 (at most a 3). For the price and the area, the food quality just wasn't there, especially compared to other dim sum spots we've tried across the US and Vancouver. Food quality Most of the dim sum we ordered came out cold, and some items seemed like they were reheated (microwave style) to warm them up. That made the outer texture thicker and less pleasant. Even the fried items were disappointing: the outside was soggy, not crisp. I especially had high hopes for fried items like fried taro and fried eggplant, but both were below par. Best item we tried The one standout was the Hong Kong style seafood chow mein with a clear sauce. That dish was genuinely good. Everything else ranged from "okay" to forgettable. Value I don't remember the exact total, but for a similar spend, I strongly feel you could get better dim sum elsewhere. It didn't feel worth the money. Service Service was fine. They were willing to heat items when we asked, which I appreciated, but it also highlighted the bigger issue: dim sum should arrive hot and properly cooked in the first place. Atmosphere The atmosphere was actually nice. It was pretty clean, and on Sunday there were carts, which could have been fun. But because many items were cold and not great, we ended up ordering instead of relying on the carts. Would I return? No. The space is pleasant, but the food and overall execution just don't justify the price.
