Best Chinese food on Eastern Shore. The personnel, especially at check out, extremely friendly. Really miss the buffet and open restaurant for eat in. read more

This was our first time getting food (carryout) from here and it was awesome!! Nice big portions, lots of fresh veggies that were steamed perfectly and it was tender white meat chicken! The orange chicken had a nice kick to it and an extra nice crisp to the outside without being gooped in sauce. I love how they offer brown rice as a healthy option too. The woman who gave us our food was super nice and friendly and we will def be a reoccurring customer! read more

This was our first visit to this restaurant for carryout. The prices are reasonably priced and entrees are served in large portions. We ordered Happy Family (mixed vegetables with shrimp, beef, and chicken) for $11.50, Sesame Chicken for $11.50, and Honey Walnut Shrimp for $13.95. When you spend $25 or more, you get a free appetizer of 2 egg rolls or 10 fried wontons. Rice was cooked soft. Happy Family and Honey Walnut Shrimp were our favorite entrees and would order them again. However, the Sesame Chicken was slightly chewy and stringy. But it was better than other Chinese restaurants which overcooked the chicken that was hard and dry. We don't live in this area, but wished this restaurant was located in our neighborhood where we would come often. read more

New Canton - Left to right: Honey Walnut Shrimp, Happy Family, and Sesame Chicken - Cantonese Near Me - Chester, Maryland

The food is dependably good. You will have to order things spicy if you want them that way. It's affordable and quick.

I can't say this was great Chinese food it was at best adequate seemed like it didn't have a lot of flavor. The shrimp lo mein did have a lot of shrimp in it, but lacked vegetables and flavor really. The hot and sour soup was hot and spicy but not sour. it definitely needs some workand the egg drop soup pretty much taste like nothing. I mean in a pinch if you're starving and you wanna have something quick it's not too expensive I guess it's OK but don't kill yourself to go and eat at this place. read more

We had heard from my cousin that it's her trusted, good restaurant to go! I had the BEST time there last night with some friends. Every single food on their menu was just amazing and enjoyable, The service was attentive and friendly. The sweet Chinese lady at the front desk has amazing hospitality, making us feel welcomed as the ambiance was warm and inviting. Their food selection was excellent with reasonable pricing. I'm glad they also make really quality vegetarian food! We didn't need to wait for more than 10 minutes to taste our delicious meal, very satisfying! All the dishes were very fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked. I would suggest this place to anyone who wants good food, great service, and a nice vibe. A must visit!!:-) read more

Our Chinese carryout go-to. Best in the whole area. Big portions. Fresh, tasty food. I wonder if the DoorDash customer got their food elsewhere. . . . read more

Should have known better to trust DoorDash reviews over Yelp. *INSERT FACE PALM EMOJI* This was by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had. My husband and I ordered - lo mein, orange chicken, general Taos, egg rolls, and crab wontons. Firstly, the crab wontons were simply pastries filled with watery cream cheese - no crab whatsoever. The egg rolls were greasy and watery too. Both chicken dishes were made of the worst cuts of chicken we've ever eaten. It makes the chicken tenders from Burger King seem like a high-end meal. So gross! They were so chewy and stringy. Not even sure it was actually chicken... Will never order from here again. Threw our meals right out. read more

Anyone that gives this restaurant lower than 4 stars, is a Karen.... This place rocks. Fast delivery, always hot and fresh. They always provide extra sauces without even asking. I have been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. I usually get sesame chicken: 10/10 Singapore Mei Fun: 10/10 Crab Rangoon: 10/10 Egg drop soup: 8/10 read more

We are vegetarian. We ordered green beans, buddha delight, Gen Tso tofu, vegetable chow mein, and vegetable lo mein. All had distinct vegetables and sauces. Flavors were balanced. No MSG (yay!). We will return. Wish their sit down restaurant was open! read more

One the one hand, this is run of the mill Chinese food, just like everywhere else. On the other hand, it is very consistently prepared. The quality is always as expected, and the service is very fast. I never really have to call ahead. I walk in and order, and poof, the food is hot and ready in 10 minutes. So, while nothing "special" it is a reliable establishment. read more

Best shrimp pad, Thai I've had in years, good color and spice , nice balance of noodles and veggies/shrimp. Definitely going back !!!

I Love this Place. The Owner is always Nice. She always apologizes about how busy they are and there's a wait. I always tell her that's "Great." I don't know if they owned this place prior or whatever. Businesses can change, I don't believe complaining about it on Yelp helps them. Rather, to speak to them directly. I order from this place every week and not once, has the food every been wrong or bad. It's just as good as getting Chinese in Los Angeles or San Francisco. In Today's time, let's try to be better humans and not tear a business down, but work with them to keep them Thriving. Pad Thai like Being in Phuket. read more

Haven't had good Chinese food in a long time. This was very good, arrived hot and delicious.

I place an order though Door Dash, I get nothing is perfect. They did not pick my order up. I spoke with the establishment regarding my order. I was informed they contacted Door dash and they had no available drivers to pick up my order. They further informed me it was my problem and I could expect no credit for this order. I have placed numerous orders over the past several years since I am a local. I support our local establishments, however I will never order form them again. read more

I find it very fresh and light, typical of Cantonese. Girl on phone is kind of rushed-wish I could get more advice so I don't end up with a couple things very similar. It's becoming our regular. read more

Stopped into this quiet little place for lunch. Staff was friendly and gracious. The menu has all the items one would expect. The lunch specials were well priced. I had the beef and broccoli which came with a choice of soup and a choice of rice. The hot and sour soup was outstanding. The rice was good as was the beef and broccoli, although the latter was only good. The beef wasn't particularly flavorful. All in all a pleasant lunch. I will return when next I find myself on Kent Island. They weren't too clear on what Yelp is but where quite willing to drag the chef out of the kitchen for a photo. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Food is disgusting Ordered 3 meals : General Tso -flat no flavor Orange Chicken - no flavor Beef & broccoli - not sure if it was real meat....my dog would not eat it!! Called to let them know of my dissatisfaction they said sorry they will let the cook know? Calling the BBB and Maryland Department of Health read more

We went to give it a try despite the bad reviews and the lady inside gave us the x sign like it was closed at 7

I ordered carry out and if was literally the worst Asian food I have every attempts to eat. I bought 3 meals. We literally took 2 bites and threw it away. The hot and sour soup was like eating pasta. The chicken in Generals Tso's was so dry and hard if was impossible to eat. The person who took our ordered and checked us out was extremely friendly and the best part of the experience. read more

Love this place! So good. My COVID crisis lockdown go-to.

We have ordered from here before and it was ok but we just ordered tonight and it was horrible the shrimp toast was so gross it even smelled rancid. None of the food tasted like it normally does it was not good at all but normally their food is awesome but not tonight we threw most of it away besides the wonton soup read more

I recently moved into the area and was grateful to find a Chinese restaurant for carry out. I like to buy a variety of items each time and eat them over several days. My first visit to New Canton I ordered the Singapore-style Mei Fun. It's a spicy, curry noodle dish with the usual types of meat for a Chinese combo dish: chicken, pork, and shrimp. While flavorful, it lacked the usual curry intensity I've come to enjoy with this dish. The egg rolls were done crispy just the way I like them. My second visit, I ordered egg rolls, seschuan wontons, combo fried rice and spicy Thai beef. I was flabbergasted to open the wonton container and find my spicy wontons in...GRAVY. I have eaten spicy or Seschuan wontons in a lot of places and they have always been prepared In a hot oil sauce. And they're typically in a delicate dough shell. These seemed more like pierogies, lots of dough, light on the filling, and the aforementioned gravy. The egg rolls weren't as crisp this time, not a big deal. The spicy Thai beef had lots of mixed vegetables, still with a bit of crispness (cool!) and a good amount of beef throughout. What it lacked, though, was much flavor or spice. There was nothing in the dish to indicate it was a Thai dish compared to a simple stir fry of the ingredients. The combo fried rice was decent, if not a little overcooked. Based on my two visits, I still have hope that New Canton can be an alternative to driving across the Bay Bridge to get my fix of Chinese food. I'll just have to experiment to find those dishes they do better than others. Phone and restaurant service was friendly and competent. You are your phone number, however. No names required. read more

I honestly don't understand how this place gets such positive reviews from locals, maybe they've never had good Asian food? We went once for carry out, spent about $75 and promptly threw everything away because not a single person in our family would eat it. Such a waste. read more

Best Chinese in Kent Island!! Everything is amazing - really love the lo mein and egg rolls. We're hooked!

Super mediocre. The beef and broccoli frozen dinner from Trader Joe's taste better than the one at this place. Rice was good but how hard is it to cook rice? I guess this is to be expected on this side of the bridge read more

Service needs to work on their overall attitude..... Came in for lunch place was practically empty took forever to waited on ... But the food makes up for it! read more

Very good Americanized Chinese food, especially given the location. The service is prompt and friendly, the portions generous, and the quality is consistently good. The ownership changed sometime back, and the quality went up quite a bit, afterwards. Definitely worth stopping in. read more

Mixed reviews. On my first try, I ordered my standard won ton soup and steamed dumplings. I figured if they could do those classics well I would give them another try. Not impressed, especially the dumplings that I found terribly doughy. A friend recently wanted to have Chinese and we were in that shopping center so we went again. This time, my friend ordered chicken fried rice and I got their special honey walnut shrimp . Both were wonderful! As a matter of fact I am planning to get the chicken fried rice to take home for dinner this evening. Hope it's as good as I remember. read more

The lady up front is super nice! The food is okay. I am not a fan of their sweet and sour chicken. It usually comes out rather dry. I do enjoy the lunch buffet though. It's very clean and tons of variety. read more

Wow! We have had carry out from here, and it was very, very average. The Egg Foo Young was mushy. We were encouraged to come and have dinner in the dining room, so we thought, OK, we'll give it a try. The servers were friendly. It appeared that they were doing a lot of carry out. We had Buddha Delight (vegetarian) and a dish with sizzle steak. The tofu in the Buddha Delight was way overcooked and stringy, and there was an abundance of it. The side of brown rice was visibly dried out. The sizzle steak might have been called, "mystery meat," and it was tough and had not taste. Had a spring roll and Wonton Soup, which was typical fare, no complaints. The worst thing was that one of the servers took a large rug from the kitchen entry, and shook it at the back of the restaurant!!! We were in the last booth, and believe me, dirt was flying. One of our party said, "We're eating over here!" The server mumbled something and he said, "The dirt is flying all over." No response. When our main server came to clear, she said, "Oh, you don't like the tofu," and I replied, "No." No response from her. She just cleared the table and brought fortune cookies and almond cookies. There must be better Chinese food on Kent Island. read more

run of the mill chinese not greasy. not super fried either wonton soup has good flavor sweet & sour sauce comes on the side. ordered food for take out phone staff was professional, meal for two was alot of food very average taste but solid tasting. read more

A solid Chinese hole in the wall. Went for the small, yet amole buffet. About 10 dishes and soup served. $6.95 for Chinese buffet is pretty good. Pretty good food, hot and flavorful and attentive staff. The ambiance is the only detractor. The walls and decorations are not traditional Chinese. However, pretty good overall. read more

No. no. No. 3 dishes ordered and they all had the same base sauce flavor which tasted like a jar of sweet chili sauce was mixed with vinegar. The bonus is that hey deliver but the food was not good. read more

It's unfortunate that so many people have let their poor experience with the old ownership defer them from trying it again. I will say that this food is closer to traditional, true Chinese cuisine than it is to "American-ized" Chinese food. It's still not true traditional Chinese, but it's also not the same heavy, sticky, sweet sauces on heavily battered meats. They have a very small lunch buffet and it's excellent. The food is always very fresh. They don't have 101 options but what they do have tastes very good, is hot and they make sure there is enough available. And it doesn't all taste the same. My family is split, with half of us preffering to go to New Canton and the other half wanting the more western version of Chinese that you can get in Stevensville. read more

Solid food especially considering you are getting far from the city. Sauces were a little 'off' what I'm used to. But quality was good. Orange chicken my son had was exceptional. Other dishes were all ok. read more

Ate here for lunch. Had the duck and the Pepper steak. Both dishes came out within a reasonable time but the food quality was poor. The door seemed re-cooked and hard the pepper steak was way to salty. Chef must have made a mistake and didn't want to remake. Service was not bad but the girl that was serving had an attitude and had a body language like she didn't want to be there. Price was reasonable. read more

Orange chicken was horrible. It was tough and burnt. When I called to complain I was told to bring it in and they would give me something else. Sorry but, once burnt twice shy. read more
