I don't write many Yelp reviews but felt compelled to after seeing this restaurant only had three stars. After travelling for 10 days, my mom was having a tough time enjoying traditional Swedish food with her Taiwanese palate. I thought she deserved some relief and went on the search for some Chinese restaurants. Out of the two we went to this was the one she enjoyed. Instead of the complain I've grown used to this trip, she began to expound on the techniques of Chinese cooking and how Five Spice used to be bought from the apothecary. The food was appetizing and service was excellent. The server (and kitchen) faithfully fulfilled or request to go easy on the salt and the recommendations she steered us to didn't disappoint. Our server was friendly and professional - I even saw her explaining some calligraphy to some other customers. This isn't a hip, trendy place with Mason jars and industrial decor, but I enjoyed the tiered layout and ambience throughout and by the time we left tables have begun to fill up. I would recommend this restaurant to my uncle's and aunties travelling in Gothenburg. Most importantly, as of March 2017, the server explained this restaurant had just hired a new chef from Hong Kong by way of London. read more

If you want traditional good chinese food, this is where you go in Gothenburg. Rhe duck is to die for! Best if you are a group and share many different dishes. Have to promote the scallops, worth every penny. Good prices, great staff, wonderful food! Just remember to book if you want to be sure to get a seat. read more

When you first walk into the restaurant you are pleasantly surprised with a nice interior and friendly staff. We chose to sit outside which is in a courtyard next to apartments. (Don't be fooled it's actually very cute). We ordered 2 hot and sour soups which were delicious. For our main course we ordered golden crispy noodles with chicken, Szechuan beef, and sesame chicken; the poultry dishes came with white rice which was nice.The noodles were really good, had a nice crisp to them that we didn't expect but it was tasty. The sesame chicken was good but not great, we expected a little bit more flavor. The beef in my opinion was tasteless, even though my friend thought it was okay just needed more spiciness. Coming from California this restaurant needed much more spice and flavor in dishes but we feel this restaurant caters their food to the Swedish taste. Little side note: you get charged 10 Kronos for water. Didn't expect that. read more

This place is nowhere as good as it used to be anymore and I don't think I'll come back again for a while. The Peking duck is no longer a hit and I cannot recommend it at all. The crispy tofu is still okay, but they have removed the filled vegetables dish from the menu, what a bummer. They serve the food much faster now, but the quality went down and it's sad that they cannot keep up with the quality. read more

Canton House was one of my favorite Cantonese restaurants in Gothenburg. I say "was" because I just went there tonight and afterwards I had to do some serious re-ranking! Make no mistake, Canton House is still good but definitely not as good as I have known it to be. Perhaps this is just a one time thing but it's serious enough for me to give it some thought. In our party of six, we ordered eight dishes and none of them really stood out. I have eaten all these dishes before except for one (beef noodles). What did stand out was how salty they all were. We ordered Peking duck, spicy prawns, crispy tofu, pork belly, sweet and sour ribs, beef noodles, and two other dishes that used to be on the menu but have since been taken off. The Peking duck is no more home made, or even if it is, it's seriously lacking. It's just dry and hard. Last time I came here (about a year ago), it was soft, succulent and crispy (and home made!). This time round, I am willing to bet, it was store-bought and reheated in the oven. The only two dishes worth mentioning were the prawns and tofu. Overall, I would down rate this restaurant to a three star because it seriously disappointed me today and the sad part is that I have always raves about this restaurant in front of my friends. Something else worth mentioning is that the portions are a bit small and the dishes are quite expensive. Our total bill came up to 1,500 SEK for 6 people. After this visit I am a bit reluctant to come back here anytime soon. But, on the plus side, my quest for a new favorite Cantonese restaurant has begun. read more
