Chinese food is my favorite. I'm from NY and always trying to find a good restaurant in LA. The pork fried rice is as close as you can get. It's delicious and lots of pieces of pork in it love the flavor and they give you a great amount. I had enough for 2 days. I also ordered the pork ribs. They were huge I think about 4 pieces but I have to admit I would never order it again. The meat was so tough I actually end up throwing most of it out. I tried cutting the meat off the bone didn't work What a waste it cost a lot. but I definitely will come back it's a big menu and they have lots of other good food there . People who work there are nice . They were plenty of seats you can sit inside or outside in the front as you walk in. read more

We never tried Canton Low while we lived here, but after moving to Mexico City, my husband was craving Chinese food during our visit. The owner was very kind and was happy to speak with my husband in Cantonese. The ambience is casual Chinese and I enjoyed watching the Chinese drama on the big screen. The food here appeals to the local palate as would be expected from the large and happy clientele. My husband was the only Chinese person. The hot and sour soup was pretty good. It was neither sour nor spicy, but it had good ingredients and reasonable flavor. The Yang Chow Fried Rice had abundant, large pieces of meat, chicken and shrimp. I don't eat meat, but tasted some rice. It had a strong charred flavor. My husband doesn't like fried rice with meat in large pieces, but thought the rice was acceptable. The kung pao chicken was more like sweet and sour chicken, but a darker color. It was batter fried and came in a super sweet cornstarch sauce with peanuts and water chestnuts. There was no spice, but there was Sriracha and chile on the table. My husband thought it was okay and ate it, but I did not. The hot tea was quite good. Portions are generous. If you like chop suey and sweet and sour pork, this is the ideal place for you. read more

Hmm...lots of bad reviews. I don't know why. I liked Canton Low. My pal Mr. Chen liked it too - and he eats a lot of Asian food, Chinese included. I ordered take-out and it was packed nicely in a box with everything I needed for a feast. Potstickers Fried rice Chow mein King Pao chicken String beans Orange chicken Shrimps dish It was delicious! Best ever? Nah, but pretty good. Maybe I'll eat in one of these days. 4 stars read more

The portions are enormous. The food is delicious. We appreciated having healthy choices on the menu. We have already texted others to tell them how good a restaurant this one is. While we were eating, there were many takeout orders being picked up. read more

Like many here, I like the food too, but there are inconveniences in the food. Perhaps some cooks prepare meals differently. My first visit with my wife was great for takeout. However, my wife and one of her girlfriends came last week and each one received a dish they did not order. I had requested Curried Shrimp and received Curried Chicken. Her girl received an beef and broccoli dish she did not order. Not sure what she had requested. My wife called the restaurant and they were remorseful and said they would replace it, but I told my wife to disregard. This should have been resolved by reviewing her order prior to leaving the restaurant. The first time we went a female brought our order out and she took everything out of the box and identified each dish. FYI the Curried Chicken was greasy. My wife still likes the place, so we will go again. Hope they care about reviews read more

Food is fair some dishes are ok some are bad . The spring rolls are very creasy and are terrible to my pallet. I usually have the shrimp and lobster source usually pretty good. Last time the shrimp was soft and mushy not good at all . read more

Having lost my local Culver City Chinese Restaurant go-tos (Golden China to fire and New Flavors to developers) I stumbled on Canton Low while driving through El Segundo, and on a whim stopped in. Turned out to be the best spontaneous decision! The menu has all the typical Chinese favorites, and an extremely reasonable Dinner menu with different pricing options. (They also have a lunch menu...can't wait to try that!) The staff is welcoming, literally greeting everyone who walks in the door. Upon seating, they bring over the fun fried noodles with hot mustard and ketchup. The wait time is reasonable and there's a quaint pleasure in watching the immense take out business they do. The food is fresh and yummy. The portions are very generous, and especially the dinner specials which include a cup of soup, egg roll, fried shrimp and salad. It's not in my hometown, but Canton Low is my new go-to for dine-in Chinese. read more

Not much of a portion for the price. I know eating out is more expensive than ever but you'd think you could get a bigger portion

We dined in for first time at this place after our neighbor recommended it. It's very very good! Not a lot of great Chinese food around the area anymore, this hits the spot. Service is typical but not bad, and everyone very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

First timeJust tried this spot for the first time and I'm already planning my next visit. The food was absolutely fantastic! Seriously, the portions were huge, I couldn't even finish it all. Everything was cooked fresh to order, which made it even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you haven't already! read more

We were in the mood for Chinese food and decided to give Canton Low restaurant a try. And I'm glad we did. Service was excellent and the food was amazing and plentiful. We enjoyed the sweet and sour shrimp, mu shu pork and beef with snow peas. We had so much food that we had the leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

Lil pricy but the food is some of the best Chinese food on the west side of LA. There aren't many options in this area for some reason. read more

Canton Low Restaurant - Lo mein with chicken - Chinese Near Me - El Segundo, California

a good place to get your peking duck fix on the westside/south bay, considering there are hardly any places on the westside for good peking duck. i wish the dish came with cucumbers and thin rice paper wraps instead of these gigantic flour tortilla wraps but it hits the spot. it takes a while to make (approx 20min after they put the order in) so you know it's fresh. a whole (as opposed to half) duck order suffices for 2 people. read more

the food and the service are always great. This is why we keep coming back. Chinese food in the South Bay seemed to have disappeared from both Hermosa and Manhattan, so I am so glad we came across Cantron Low read more

Meat tasted old and nothing seemed fresh. Very popular restaurant in El Segundo but I never understood why.

Recently ordered to go from this place, got egg rolls friend veggie rice and fried rice with shrimp and beef for my bf. He had been here before and recommended it. The person who took my order over the phone was friendly and helpful. It was ready is 10-15 minutes and I thought the food was good, only thing I didn't care for where all the whole mushrooms in the veggies rice, I picked them out but my BF enjoyed them. read more

Canton Low Restaurant - Everything - Chinese Near Me - El Segundo, California

I haven't been here in years but a recent visit reminded me why. I've only come here during lunch hours but consistently the same experience. The staff is cold and unfriendly seeming to only pay attention to certain customers. I've never been greeted with a warm out invited hello and often I feel like a bother to be there. Interactions are usually rushed and very short. The food is good and the lunch specials are priced right with good portions but I'd pass based on service alone. read more

My absolute go to for lunch the lunch specials with hot tea is absolutely delicious. I really love the cultural differences and how they make you feel welcome in such a rush rush world I great place to eat and talk and enjoy some awesome Chinese food. A special thanks to the owners and staff I have been going back for over 20 years and every time I leave I'm already planning my next visit thank you and keep up the great work read more

It took me years & years to find the perfect Chinese restaurant in Southern California - and I found it right here in El Segundo. This place is 100% of what I look for in a Chinese restaurant. Rarely do you find a place that has excellent flavor, freshness, large portions, friendly customer service, comfortable seating, free parking and decently priced. I've already had half the menu in the last year I've been coming here. My goal is to eat everything on their menu! Oh an most of my fortune cookie messages have come true. This place will bring you good luck too! I'm already growing a Buddha belly coming here. read more

I love a small, family run business over some national chain. Good food. Great service in the heart of El Segundo. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is amazing. Definitely authentic and delicious Chinese food. We stopped here before the airport and I'm sad I don't live close.

Great cantonese takeout. Not many places around L.A. doing this style of chinese. A little bit heavier than other styles, but it was exactly what I was looking for when I called in the order. read more

We had never had food before from here and ordered delivery. I was very surprised at both the quantity and quality of the food. Our favorite Chinese Restaurant had closed down and I've been looking for a new place. This is definitely the place! Fried rice with shrimp was particularly good as was the Lo Mein with chicken. We also got the King Pai chicken which was very tasty, perhaps not as spicy but still very good. The salt and pepper shrimp were a little small but very flavorful and a good amount. We had plenty of leftovers for the next day! Would recommend. read more

great mom and pop restaurant with delicious Chinese food. I love the Moo Goo Gai Pan and the sauce is really yummy! the waitstaff is really sweet and are very attentive read more

Thanks to NextDoor posts, we finally find really good old fashion Cantonese food near MdR. We had their home made roast duck, their Macau pork belly, their blistered string beans and beef chow fun. Three of these dishes can be tests of their kitchen skills. They are not cheating on the "wok hey", i.e. fiery wok power, when they cook. For the string beans, they beat out Henry's, which the Times rates in their 101 Best. And to go to the trouble of "house roast" duck means they care. They are rightly a local institution and I'm glad their community has taken them past Covid. The name "Canton Low" screams of the 1950's. Besides tastiness and authenticity, their portion sizes are still up to old standards, sizeable, and their prices, still moderate. Cooking these dishes in our downsized condo sets off multiple safety alarms, so we'll be glad to be able to zip down Pershing to get here. We hope the family can find staff and chef to endure another 48 years! read more

We did the takeout from this place because we were in the area and needed to pick up some dinner. I was a little skeptical because the place looked super empty when we walked in but the food we got was delicious. There used to be another Chinese place in Playa Del Rey we used to love but they closed during pandemic, well Canton Low just topped that one. The egg drop soup was so much better, the egg rolls were to die for, shrimp low mein was delicious. We will be back for sure. read more

Great local family restaurant and they deliver for free! I've enjoyed all the dishes I've ordered so far.

Excellent taste, fresh ingredients, delicious and hot. Friendly yet professional staff, good portion servings. Thank you. read more

Kung Pao is really missing the PAO, I'm not sure if this is authentic Chinese. I tried the Kung Pao and honestly, it has 0 spice It is more like orange chicken because it was so sweet. I see the chillisi in there but not even a kick of spice. The fried rice had good flavor, but the chicken and the beef were missing many flavors. I think I'll stick to Panda for my Kung Pao chicken around this area. read more

Like their chow mein and the sizzling rice soup is awesome. Very nice people as well. Definitely worth it for very good Cantonese
