Very bland Chinese food. We ordered from here because we received free delivery. The mushroom egg foo young is nothing more than a soggy potato pancake. There aren't any other vegetables in there and I don't see any egg either. The gravy is very saucy, more like a beef and broccoli sauce than an actual gravy. I have never seen anything like it in my life. The sweet and sour pork left a funny baking soda aftertaste. It tasted better than the egg foo young, and that's not saying much. The eggroll and wonton that came with the lunch didn't have any dipping sauces or hot mustard. I dipped them in my sweet and sour sauce. The salad is kind of brown and wilted. Could be from the heat of the food. But not the brown parts. The rice is decent and not all dried out. It's nothing close to the Chinese restaurants by my house, but there's not much in the area. My coworkers Mongolian Beef looked pretty good. She said she liked it. Our food did arrive hot. So there were some good parts to our meal. read more

The Peking duck was delicious! Also loved the green beans, lomein, and wonton soup. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning.

It's just as good as Chinatown, but without the traffic. The hot and sour soup is a must. read more

Excellent food. SanFran/New York level Chinese. I advise you drop into this joint. We had Mandarin chicken.

When I used to work in El Segundo I loved coming to this pace, years had went by before I came back. It's not close to me at the moment but have been back here a few times this year. They are super friendly here and you can tell they have regulars that come in. It's street parking only so that can be a challenge. Since it shares that with other businesses in the area. When I used to come before I had never tried the roasted duck. It's probably one of the best I have had. They told me the person who makes it has been making for over 30 years. They were so happy when we told them it was one of the best we have had. The duck: The meat is tender, the skin is crispy, and has good flavor. The salt and pepper pork chops: I have had this dish at several places and their's is the best. At most places the pork chop seems dry but here it is not dry and very flavorful. Some pieces have some fat on it that tastes really good. Sweet and sour pork: this dish is what I always come for. Unlike most places their's is nice and crunchy. In fact it's pretty crunchy the next day. It is a little more batter than pork but that's how it's so crunchy. BBQ pork fried rice and Lo mein: I really like their fried rice and lo mein. The bbq pork is nice and juicy. At most places the pork is over cooked and dry. Here it is not. The bbq pork is soft and tasty. (Also their lo mein has noodles but their chow mein does not. They will tell you if you order either one of those dishes.) Egg Flower Soup: first time we tried it and it was really good. It's such a simple dish with a lot of flavor. They start you off with some crunchy noodles with ketchup and Chinese mustard to dip it in. This place has a few booths and a couple of tables. They also have one big table for a bigger group. The service and the food is great here. They are very quick to refill your water. Something that doesn't happen often at some restaurants. We have come so much they remember us now. I recommend you try this place out. read more

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I ordered the beef chow fun and the pork fried rice and we consumed it all! It was the perfect serving for a family of 4 and we enjoyed every bit of it. We also ordered the orange chicken and that was some of the best we've ever had. It's clear this is a local favorite. Lots of locals coming in to pick up orders while we were there. The waiter was so kind and very lovely with my girls. He came by and checked on us several times and even ran out to give my daughter her hair tie when we left. I highly recommend this place. We are so glad we found it because we WILL definitely be going back. read more

Terrible service. Do not eat here. Also the Crab Rangoon are no good. Filled with onion that was undercooked and thus tasted raw. I waited over a half hour for my entree which never came, I eventually paid for my appetizer and left. While I was waiting I saw piles of food leaving the front door. Apparently dine in customers are treated worse than take out. Very unfortunate. read more

To my knowledge, there aren't a lot of good Chinese restaurants in El Segundo, so I was pretty excited to eat here, even though reviewers gave it 3 stars. Perhaps it was what I ordered, but this place is just okay. It's definitely an older restaurant, and I think the menus even say that they've been around since the 70's! I made it just before the Lunch Menu ended and ordered the Sweet & Sour Pork. It came with soup, rice, and a salad. Soup - I was asked if hot and sour soup was okay, but I hate hot and sour soup, so I asked if that was my only option. Glad I did, because I ordered the egg flower soup. Otherwise, no soup for me. There were no carrots or peas in the soup, which is how I like it. Just add some white pepper and it was perfect. Salad - It was just lettuce and some type of dressing. Forgetful. Some pieces tasted funny. Rice - Option for steamed or fried, and I chose steamed. Sweet & Sour Pork - I wish I had asked for the sauce on the side, because it was just drenched in sauce. The sauce just made the pork really soggy, and I like a little crunch. I don't care too much for the bell peppers, but they weren't so bad. I liked the pineapple though. Still, too much sauce! I really wanted to like this place, because I wanted to come back on my lunch. The service was good, food came out quickly, and the price wasn't so bad. Maybe I will and try the noodle soup, since I read a couple of good reviews on it. We'll see. read more

Food is good and plentiful. Service is prompt. Ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. Recommend the lunch specials.

Best Chinese food in El Segundo. The food is close to authentic as you're going to get in the area. Soups are great. The wings are the best.

Best MEAL EVER!!!!!! The service is great even though English isn't there best speaking language there just the best, the place is nice and decorated and if u come in the daytime they play movies it's overall the best. read more

Food was good in quantity. Service was great. Would come again if I am really hungry.

The most authentic type of Chinese restaurant you are going to find in El Segundo. It's a real Chinese restaurant that are owned by a Chinese family that speaks Chinese. If you compare this restaurant to one of the many Chinese restaurants you find in Torrance, San Gabriel, Cerritos, Westminster, this restaurant would be lowest on the list. If you just chill out and just want some authentic Chinese food in El Segundo, this place is great. My favorite dish is the Kung Pow Chicken Lunch Special with some hot sauce on the side. I don't care for the salad because the dressing is just way too sugary. The Kung Pow Chicken is favorful, cooked the way most people make it and it has peanuts. Yay! For having such low reviews, this place is packed during lunch time special their lunch special is a such a great deal and they have a weird steep parking lot in the back. I would say give a shot for lunch and you will realize it is pretty good. read more

Awesome Chinese food in El Segundo. They are my go to place for my Chinese cravings. Affordable priced and great quality, authentic flavors. This restaurant deserves a way higher rating. I especially love the dumpling soup! read more

This place has amazing food. The service is also outstanding. Not only is the food served quickly, but it's hot and fresh. The waiters/waitresses are fully attentive frequently check in but not to the point where it's annoying. Our favorite dishes to make a few: Sizzling Rice Soup, Lo Mein, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork, and Sautéed Vegetables Mixed read more

Canton Low Restaurant - My kids are always happy to come here and they eat very well! Kid friendly food options :) - Chinese Near Me - El Segundo, California

TL;DR Sweet & Sour Chicken good. Orange Chicken bad! Lo Mein = Chow Mein here. Usually when you order Chow Mein you get noodles, but here you have to order the Lo Mein if you want noodles. Came back and had the Kung Pow chicken, which was ok. Decided to bump the review up to a two star. Something I really appreciated: I forgot a personal item at the table and the waiter chased me down the street to return it. What a nice guy. Another star! In short, the food here might not be great, but this time it was decent and the servers were all polite. Really appreciated the person who chased me down just to return my belongings. If you're reading this, thanks again! Pros: + Sweet and Sour Chicken + Reasonable lunch specials + Honorable staff member (chased me down to return a forgotten item) Cons: - Orange chicken - Chow Mein - Egg rolls *Update 4/28/2017 Came with a group and got to try the Sweet and Sour chicken and it was pretty good. Nothing like the Orange Chicken. read more

Perfect vibe in here, dive spot, authentic, laid back, delicious perfect chinese spot in town

The only Chinese food in downtown El Segundo, but it's all the city needs. Excellent string beans, wor wonton soup, general tso's chicken, and mongolian beef. If you have never had their string beans, you are missing out!! They're always cooked perfectly and come in an addicting garlic/soy sauce. I just make a meal of the soup and beans when ordering take-out. Coupons are always readily available for 15-20% off dine in or take out orders and the prices are reasonable to begin with. Friendly and speedy staff! Delivery is also an option. read more

Excellent lunch specials. Reminds me of Chinese food in Hawaii. Only place I can get my fix for crispy win ton.

We received the soup right away and we enjoyed the hot and sour soup. We didn't get the appetizers of egg rolls and won ton until the main course and they had way to much breading on them and the grease tasted old. The main dishes we ordered of Mongolian beef, chicken and cashew nuts and beef with pea pods had no flavor. The meat used was of low quality and the chicken dish tasted fried. The chicken low mein and the fried rice was ok! Not the type of Chinese food I'm used to. The kids that were with us didn't like any of it. Sorry to say that I won't be back or could recommend this place. read more

Great lunch specials during the week. Love getting take out in the weekends! Friendly service and great to support local restaurants!

Did an online order & took 1 1/2 hours...never again! Food was not that great, i threw more than 1/2 away Waaay too greasy, no chopsticks and no chili sauce WTF? read more

So we never eat Chinese food even though we love Chinese food. Both of us have lived other places where it's so much better that we can barely stomach it here. My husband refuses to get food from this place so when I happened to walk by during lunch hours today and saw it was packed I threw caution to the wind and ordered up a lunch special. The number one...Sweet and sour pork. Service was gruff and abrupt. I thought it was a great deal around seven dollars for soup, salad, egg roll, wonton, fried rice, and entree. It was in fact a lot of food. Too bad that except for the egg drop soup which was excellent (not too thick like most we've tried in this area) it all tasted old. Wilted lettuce, not fresh meat, dried out rice with hardly any egg or veggies in it. The batter on the pork was so heavily fried it tasted like fair food. Sigh... How I wish there was awesome Chinese around here.... read more

Ordered kung pao chicken. Tasted like Panda Express sweet chicken with zero heat. Just wasn't right. I've had other food from this establishment and it was good. So, got a mixed review. Think I'll pass on future orders. read more

I had dinner here a few nights ago and have been meaning to write a yelp review. It was delicious just like I remembered. My favorite dishes here are orange chicken, hot and sour soup, garlic string beans, Kung pao chicken, and lemon chicken. It feels like an authentic Chinese restaurant and the food tastes that way too. Every time I'm in the area I make it a point to stop by this restaurant. I love all the remodeling they have done to this place. I can't wait to go back. read more

Canton Low is one of those hole in the wall establishments. I probably would've never stepped foot into this place if it wasn't for my friend Eric L. I go here each time im near LAX. From the outside Canton Low may seem like any other Chinese restaurant. You know the saying "Never judge a book by its cover.." well thats pretty much what Canton Low is all about. but once you pass through their heavy glass swinging door, you will be bombarded by the lovely aroma coming from their kitchen. Closest thing i can relate this to is for example when you pass by an In N Out where the aroma of their food literally just hits you in the face. YUMM right?? Their food is served QUICK and HOT. I ordered the baked pork chop rice and my friend Eric ordered some Beef Chow Fun. When my order arrived i could see the cheese still bubbling... thats when you know the food is HOT OUT OF THE OVENN!!. my first bite was so orgasmic it was nearly indescribable. All i can say is that the food here is to die for!!! its THAT gooooood! The only bad thing is that they are closed on Sundays. There has been times where I would be craving Canton Low after church services. read more

Awesome lunch specials ($6 to $7 range)! Especially for the price. The lunch specials come with soup, salad, fried rice or steamed rice, wonton, and an eggroll. It's A LOT of food. Service is excellent and the place is clean. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant, but there is also plenty of street parking. Looking for a good place for lunch? Come here! read more

Came here with some friends for their lunch special. Pretty solid Chinese food for a little less than $10. Pretty generic stuff but for the quantity and price this place is great! I don't think most people could finish their lunch special. They also have Peking duck which I need to check out another day. read more

Great little place in El Segundo! We ordered orange chicken, kon pow shrimp, and fried rice. Everything was amazing and Kelly (the owner) went out of her way to make it a great experience, will definitely be coming back! read more

Everyone knows about their delicious orange chicken but my favorite is the lemon chicken! (and their sweet & spicy chicken) Every time before or after my business trips I try to make a stop at Canton Low. The restaurant has been opened for over 20 years I believe. One of my favorite places to eat at in El Segundo, IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED IT, I SUGGEST YOU GIVE IT A TRY! They offer really good deals and excellent food Thanks! read more

First time trying and pass by it every week. I ordered to-go. The orange chicken and sizzling rice soup was soooo yummy. I've had many sizzling rice soups and have high expectations. This place gets top 2 of my favorite Chinese soups. Orange chicken so crispy and flavorful. Will definitely be going again soon. read more

So hard to find home style authentic consistently great quality Chinese food, so happy my mother in law suggested it--she'd been going here for ages and held out on us! We got take out and it lasted a good few meals even though we ate a lot. The only thing to look out for is if you have dietary restrictions it's hard to get info on ingredients on the phone. Other than that I crave this all the time! Great spice levels too. read more

Must say we enjoyed the food. Sweet and sour shrimp, orange peal chicken, & house fried rice was delicious. read more

The wonton soup has excellent flavor and is loaded with veggies, wontons, chicken, pork, shrimp, and more. We also tried the low mein. It also had really great flavor.

Its time to stop eating at these restaurants that use styrofoam!!!! This was so hot the fish with black bean sauce melted to the styrofoam food box below it. You are eating styrofoam when you get the take out. Toxic Im sure. I wonder if consuming melted styrofoam eventually causes cancer? Keep eating here to find out. Please switch to paper boxes, or something non-toxic!!!! read more

Traditional Chinese food including duck, lemon chicken, BBQ spareribs, fried rice, WonTon soup, spring rolls and you know the rest. Consistently good, served fast and hot, generous portions. Owner/staff always very pleasant. Only complaint is that they use too much oil. Food still good but today we prefer less oil where possible. read more
