Other reviews say the food is served fresh and hot and I can attest it IS HOT! Good, fast service for an affordable price. The inside is a mixture of Mongolian-style grill and buffet, but there aren't as many food options as some buffets. For example, there are two sections of desserts and a large salad section and another section with "American" food but only three hot tables of "Chinese" food.

Our server was amazing and kept our beverages full for our entire visit. We had the steamed dumplings, crab rangoon, and hot and sour soup to start out. The dumpling dough was thick but tender and the filling was tasty, although very ginger forward. The crab rangoon also had pretty thick dough but they were crisp, hot, and the filling was great! The hot and sour soup was enjoyable. Our entrees didn't take long. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The only complaint our table had was the lack of seasoning on the fried rice, which comes on the side of the entrees. The prices were very reasonable and the menu has a variety of offerings that we will be returning to try!

I have been coming here for years. I have watched staff come and go, but the food is consistently excellent in quality and taste! When evaluating a restaurant, consistency is the key! That means that every time I can feel comfortable knowing that I am getting the very best quality and best tasting food. I get that here. . . Each and every time. I love egg foo yong, in particular, shrimp egg foo yong. I have tried it several places, and here it is consistently the best. They give you three (3) shrimp filled patties, instead of two. Their food, in particular the egg foo yong is golden brown and crispy on th outside. Other establishments I have tried, have given me two (2) patties swimming in grease! () None of the food here is greasy. Their stir fried veggies are tasty, tender, and yet still have a fresh crispness to them. So good! When you enter the building through the door, you step into the foyer. You then open the door, and feel the cool air on your face, and you are relieved to escape the heat and humidity.

This place is shit. My daughter called them and begun to place an order when they interrupted her, called her "Crazy" then hung up. I called back and as soon as they picked up the phone they said "Don't call this place again dumbass." What kind of shit place is this? It's taking a lot out of me to not drive down there right now. read more

We were told by family and friends it was terrible now but we had to try it because everyone has different tastes. Well, sadly, they were right.

It was also flavorless. They put the sweet and sour sauce in a separate container. It had only 2 pieces of pineapple and some carrots. The pork wor mein had a strange taste. We didn't know what it was but it was very unappetizing. The chicken fried rice lace the bean sprouts we loved it was very plain but, it was edible unlike the other two dishes. We have never had throw away food from the old Canton Inn. We threw away everything including the leftover fried rice. We will not be returning. We will miss the flavors of our old Canton Inn.
