In terms of food, I tried several items from their Tea Time menu: Rice Roll + Preserved Egg & Pork Congee, Beef Fried Ho Fan Noodles, and French Toast with hot (milk) tea. The congee was on the lighter side in terms of flavour, had less or no msg, and was overall comforting. The rice noodles were quite good, especially with the (peanut/hoisin) sauce. The beef stir fry ho fan noodles was decent as it had a nice "wok hei ''. The tea was also nice. The most noteworthy item was the French Toast though. It was crispy but not dry, and flavourful but not too greasy. Overall, it was also pretty good value for the quality and quantity of food, so I'd give them 8.5/10 for Canto Cafe in Edmonton

Recommended!

This is the second time I visited the restaurant. I have reviewed this place during my first visit…read moreand I decided to leave a second review. I ordered the Curry Beef Brisket Noodle again during my second visit because the dish left a great impression on me during my first visit. The Curry Beef Brisket Noodle is a must-try and I definitely recommend this if you are visiting this restaurant. During my first visit, I did not have the chance to try their satay skewer and I decided to order a chicken satay skewer to try. The chicken satay was good. The meat was tender and nice, and not too burnt or tough unlike some of the satay that i tried. It came with a satay dipping sauce, but the sauce was not as good as I thought. Perhaps it did not contain peanuts due to possible allergy concerns so the sauce was not as fragrant as I expected satay sauce to be. But still it was good, and the skewer wasn't too expensive as well. Great restaurant and definitely one of the hidden gems in Edmonton.

It was our third night eating Chinese food and we decided to give this restaurant a try. We wanted…read moreto eat some Canadian Chinese cuisine. Upon seating, water and menus were dropped off quickly. For some reason, I noticed fork and knife cutlery set up at each seating instead of chopsticks. It was a sign that the usual customers are probably not of Asian descent. We ordered a number of items to try and I was happy to find my favourite sweet and sour chicken ball item. We also ordered beef and broccoli, some seafood dish and seafood neptune soup. Food arrived fairly quickly. Food tasted great. Soup was good. It was light, silky and savoury with whisked egg whites, tofu, peas and seafood bits. The chicken balls were exactly how I like them with a nice layer of batter and covered in a decent amount of sauce. The beef and broccoli was a good portion size with tender beef slices. Lastly, the tri-seafood with lemongrass sauce was interesting. The flavour was not really anything I can compare it to. It was an okay dish although my family seemed to enjoy it. Service was excellent. Staff were fast to refill water, take away finished plates and bring over extra plates, condiments and chopsticks as per our request. Restaurant and restrooms were clean. Overall, it was a great dining experience. I would come back when I am back in town again.

It's a family owned place that has been on the edge of chinatown for years. The location is great since it borders chinatown, so it doesn't have all that congestion and people around. Lots of free parking available. And walkable from the Royal Alexandra hospital. I typically come here with family for set meals. They definitely don't disappoint. For the price, you get large portions and delicious authentic Chinese food with no frills. No added tack on prices for a instagram worthy wall. Just delicious Chinese food. I really love the peaches and cream shrimps and their authentic hot pots. But everything I had here is exceptionally delicious. There's a hotpot mushroom dish here that's delicious. I decided on a whim to come here for lunch and I was blown away by the lunch menu. It's basically their regular menu for $12-15!!!! It's such a fabulous deal, I'm gonna have to be a regular now. I ordered my go to beef and greens chowmein which was crispy authentic and fresh. I was happy to see there was a large portion of meat and greens which is much more generous than other places I've eaten at!!! I was so satisfied I didn't even finish half of my meal bc it was so much food. Glad to have leftover supper for later. This might be my go to place for a quick lunch in dt. Honestly service was fabulous. I ordered my food and had it hot and fresh within 10 min. And was out within 30 min. Pretty awesome that they can do this for the lunch time rush. Highly recommended.

Edmonton isn't necessarily known as a hot spot for the best Chinese food in the country (it's no…read moreRichmond, BC or Scarborough, ON) but this cuisine is certainly on its way up. With renewed appreciation for the city's Chinatown and innovators like Fu's on the scene, people are taking notice in a delicious way. My stomach is very pleased to be a part of this renaissance and reframing of Asian fare in Edmonton. I bet you didn't know that we have soup dumplings in town - and I mean really good ones. Named Favourite Dish on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 and 2024 lists, this was a dish that I absolutely needed to try. Visiting on a dark and cold Saturday evening, we made the trek out to Dominion Industrial, unsurprisingly not a part of the city that I often frequent. By now you know that I am always happy to venture around for food! The outside of the restaurant is very unassuming and you might even miss it if you don't know what you're looking for. Keep an eye out for the red awning and you'll know that you've found the right place. There's parking around the side and back of the building. Entering through the door and walking into the space, I was immediately struck by a wave of tantalizing hot and sour aromas. A friendly staff member guided us to a table in the decently-sized dining room and I began to take everything in. The room is somewhat modest but maybe a little futuristic with chrome-topped tables and matching chairs. Huge round tables are outfitted with big rotating trays in the center, waiting to accommodate large groups. I liked that each place setting was ready with a bowl, soup spoon, teacup, and chop sticks. A picture of the Shanghai city skyline decorates the wall. Circling back to the staff, we were served by two different women during our visit and both were absolutely lovely. Incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and helpful. The menu is quite extensive and they were happy to answer all of our questions and made useful recommendations. They really elevated our visit! Upon sitting down we were delivered the customary pot of jasmine green tea - very welcome due to the frigid temperature outside. The warm sips were an ideal way to defrost while creating a plan for our feast. Shanghai 456 is known for their soup dumplings but they serve a whole lot more. The menu is really big and it took a little while for us to decide all of the different dishes that we wanted to try. We got there eventually but not without some effort! Once the order was placed the various plates began to arrive in no particular order. The feast had begun! We thought that a noodle dish would be a good "base" for the meal. I liked the sound of the Shanghai style smoked fish noodle but was informed that it was served as a soup. Soup is harder to share among a group so instead we went with the Shanghai Noodle Sautéed with Pork and Vegetables ($16.95). The ample portion of wok-fried noodles was served hot and delicious. Each tender and thick noodle was bathed in a tasty and savoury sauce. The cabbage within the dish added a nice fresh crunch and the thin strips of pork helped to round out the plate. These noodles were easy to eat and very satisfying. After that, we leaned into the Shanghai Dim Sum part of the menu hard - all remaining dishes came from this part of the menu, arguably what the restaurant is most known for. So much to choose from and so many plates that caught my eye! Next to arrive was the Sticky Rice Roll with Chinese Long Donut and Dried Pork Floss ($7.95). I was too intrigued by the idea of this dish to not try it. It arrived looking kind of like a sushi roll but that was the beginning and the end of the similarity. I'm a huge fan of Chinese long donuts (you can get the best ones in Edmonton at Shan Shan Bakery in Chinatown) so I was really curious to find out how this would work within a rice roll. Turns out, it works really well! A wonderful combination of sweet and savoury combined with some really interesting textural elements from the sticky rice to the crispy donut to the dry shards of pork. I've never tried anything like this before and it was fun to eat! Then it was time for the traditional Chinese broth-filled dumplings! Otherwise known as xiao long bao (or XLB if you're extra cool). "Xiao long" refers to the bamboo steaming basket which they are prepared in, while "bao" means bun and refers to the dumpling itself. They can be made with all sorts of different fillings on the inside. There is also a specific way for them to be eaten - you don't just start tossing them into your mouth (although I'm sure that no one would be mad if you did). The little ritual involved in eating the bao adds to the special experience. You are meant to lift the dumpling from its top with chopsticks and place it into your spoon. Then you poke a hole into the bottom of the bao to release the hot broth. There is soup inside of each dumpling! First you drink the hot broth out of the spoon and then you enjoy the rest o

We ordered salt and pepper crab. The server advise that the market price for crab was $48per/lbs. The server brought the 2.5lb crab live to show us. When the crab was brought out looked and said ain't NOWAY this crab is 2lbs. Maybe a little over 1lb. I asked to speak to the server or the manager in duty. I took the pic of coarse. Server said that the kitchen may have took the wrong crab . She would adjust the price afterward. When the bill arrived NO adjustment was made. When the bill arrived they never mention the adjustment, charged $97 for crab. We asked to speak to the manager, after more than 5mins and us paying the bill. The manager arrive, he was sorry that the bill wasn't adjusted. We accepted his apologies. I expressed my opinion of his establishment. I told him that it bad practice to do bait and switch of the crab. Overall its bad business to do this to customers first timer or regulars I'm for sure NEVER ever gonna dine at the establishment.
