Great Portions & Solid Main Dishes, But the Vibe and Sides Need Work Overseas Chinese Restaurant is a bit of a mixed bag. The ambiance is stuck in the past and desperately needs some major updates--honestly, it always seems a little dirty inside, and the service is pretty mediocre. That said, the food keeps me coming back for a few specific highlights: Chicken w. Mixed Vegetables: This is my all-time go-to. They do not skimp here; you get a great amount of both chicken and fresh veggies. Mixed Vegetables w. Garlic Sauce: I love this sauce so much I usually buy a quart of it to take home. Egg Rolls (4/5): Flavor-wise, these are absolutely delicious! The only downside is the size--they really need to be twice the size like they used to be. Sweet & Sour Chicken: The chicken itself can be hit-or-miss and is occasionally chewy, but it's still great if you drown it in their delicious sweet and sour sauce. Skip the Roast Pork Fried Rice: It is incredibly bland. You're much better off just going with the healthier option of White Rice. Come for the portions on the main dishes and the flavor of the egg rolls, but temper your expectations for the atmosphere and the sides. read more

Oversea Chinese Restaurant - Sweet & Sour Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Sweet & Sour Sauce, Big Glass of Melk - Chinese Near Me - Canton, Illinois

See all

Food is really good! The combos are my personal favorite, meat, rice & an egg roll. It's a smaller, family business with excellent service who always ensures you have what you need. It's a smaller place, more of a take out restaurant than a sit & eat, but it is an option. read more

I mean it's not the worst... if you're craving Chinese and it's all you got in town.. Bit 93$ for 3 people, to eat half ass knock off tasting Chinese food?! It's a wonder they're still in business. I think from now on thank you, but no thank you. I could have a much better meal and drinks down the road for half the price... I won't make that mistake again. 30-40$ sure, that was just a total rip off. read more

Best Asian food in town. I never have any issues with this place. Super friendly and always has smiles when I walk in.

This is absolutely the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at. The egg roll is the size of a roll of quarters and tasteless. The fried rice is yellow in color and awful. I honestly do not know how anyone would eat here. Just yuck read more

Oversea Chinese Restaurant - Yellow awful fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Canton, Illinois

Very quick service. Very good typical Chinese cuisine. We always have way more leftovers than we can eat! Great selection of food as well.

Worst Chinese food I have ever had, and I have had some that are not good. This was my first visit and LAST. Not worth the price we paid for Cashew Chicken which had some kind of nasty burnt brown sauce - not supposed to be brown; sweet and sour chicken which also had some kind of burnt brown sauce - not supposed to be brown and crab rangoon with no flavor. Chicken fried rice that had no chicken and was a strange color orange, with no real flavor. Just awful. We ended up throwing it in the garbage. Don't waste your money. read more

These days it seems that most Chinese restaurants are buffets, but not Overseas. It is mainly a take out place, but there is limited seating inside. The food is terrific and the portion sizes are very reasonable compared to the cost. Two people can eat here with an appetizer for under $20.00. My personal favorite on the menu is their Hunan Beef Combination plate that comes with the entree, pork fried rice, and an eggroll. They take cash and checks only, so don't bother trying to pay with a debit/credit card here. read more

This was my first visit here. I ordered the General Taos chicken and the Beef with broccoli, both were combos that came with pork fried rice and and egg rolls. I also got the crab Rangoon. The total was about $23. There was no spice or seasoning either to the chicken or the beef. The pork fried rice was only orange colored rice with about 4 tiny cubes of pork per serving- nothing else. If I get a craving for Chinese again while visiting Canton, I'll try the other place or get something from the freezer section of the grocery store. P.S. I usually love the leftovers from Chinese take out but the Beef with broccoli and rice was just gross the next day. I gave it 2 stars instead of only 1 because of the limited menu items tried. read more

Awesome people! Great Generals chicken and great lo mein. The twice cooked pork is another favorite.

Very good, love the amount and flavor. Their crab Rangoon's are very good. I have run it to some chewy chicken but that might have Ben to deal with the drive home and the wait to eat. read more

This is by far my favorite Chinese restaurant ever. Family friendly. Were always treated with a smile. I love it. We can go in and they know exactly what we want and get it out in a quick time and its always amazing. My only problem is that they don't deliver outside of town. read more

Use love this place and food but lately the food has gone downhill and tasteless. Not going back. Going try China Inn.

This is the best restaurant I've ever been to! The food taste so good. I highly recommend the general so's chicken it taste very good.

I had Hot and Sour soup and Beef with Garlic Sauce (or something similar). The soup was bad as it was full of ginger. Why they put ginger in there is a mystery, as most others don't. The beef was OK. Nothing special here. It was reasonably fast and priced as I got it take out. read more

Awesome Chinese food! Best in canton, crazy that's there's more than one. I have traveled and lived all over the US and overseas still stands out as my favorite! read more

I have lived out of town for some time and I will always come to Overseas when I am back in town. I just can't find Chinese food quite as good as it is here. Their Crab Rangoon is the best I have ever had - hands down. The chicken curry and general tso are also delicious. read more

Best Chinese food in Canton. Overpriced, but the lunch specials are reasonable.

Best carry-out Chinese I've ever had. Generous portions for the price, especially at lunch time. Love the General Tso's and the Crab Rangoon. Very fast! read more

We've eaten here twice since I moved here 2 mos ago. I got orange chicken the first time and broccoli with beef the second time. It was good, not the best I've ever eaten but it was pretty good. Very expensive though! Even with getting meal deals. We fed four people for $53.00. There's another place here in town, that with every $20 spent they give you a free appetizer. These guys just give you a bag of their donuts with a big order. Overall not a bad little place. read more

Walking in, rather than smelling the aroma of food cooking, the place smelled like dirty mop water. I ordered the mu shu pork. The pancakes that came with it were nearly impossible to extract from the cellophane. By the time I was able to, they were cold and tough. The pork was a large portion and had good flavor, but the eating area and ladies' room was dirty, the utensils and napkins as cheap as they come, and the price was much too high. Next time, I'll go to Subway across the street. Their food is no fail. One compliment: the staff was friendly. read more

For years was the best of three Chinese places in Canton. Was better than many in Peoria. Sadly has turned to crap, in my estimation. Had been sliding for years, can get no lower. The special is cheap and the service is fast, but the food is blah. read more

Hands down the best Chinese around. I always have general Tso's chicken combo w/crab Rangoon. Absolutely delicious
