      I have never been to a Chinese restaurant that I hated.. until now! Not only was the food absolutely disgusting but the atmosphere was terrible! There was bugs flying around our food they had a dog walk from the kitchen through the dining room and up to our table. The staff was nice but that's about it! 10/10 don't recommend! I ordered crab Rangoons and they brought me crab wonton and said it was the same thing! Rice was cold and egg rolls tasted like they were freezer burnt or something!
      The only thing we enjoyed other than leaving was the Dr pepper in the bottle and the pre wrapped fortune cookies!
      The bathrooms were disgusting as well and smelled terrible!
      I literally wasted $45 dollars on garbage! Never again will I eat there nor will I advise anyone else to!

      Good Chinese food, love the orange chicken. They're always so nice. I like the egg drop soup too :)

      Orange chicken.

      I have no complaints about Canton Chinese. We always order for takeout and my only suggestion is if you are sensitive to spicy, don't order from the "spicy" selections.

      terrible food, terrible service, scary place, my 13th reason why. doesnt even deserve a single star. Food doesn't even taste like real food, doesn't even look edible

      We were visiting the area and looking for something easy to just take back to our hotel room and there aren't many options in the area. We decided on Chinese, because... Chinese food! The lady who helped us was very friendly and helpful, but unfortunately, the food wasn't as great. I ordered the Sweet and Sour chicken, which I expected to be crispy and golden like at other restaurants, but it was pale and soggy. The white rice also appeared to be cooked in soy sauce or to have had it added to it. I like to start my white rice as a blank slate, so I don't really want sauces added to it ahead of time. My son ordered the crab rangoon and expected it to have like cream filling but said it was actually filled with pieces of crab which wasn't what he was expecting. My daughter got lo mein and found it flavorless.

      This place is right down the block from us in BV.

      The food is really fresh and tasty -- superior to your average Chinese joint.

      They're currently not delivering, but that won't stop us. I'm heading there now to pick up takeout! 5 stars...

      I should have realized that with half the lights off at 7Pm on a Thursday...it might not be a good idea to continue. But I did...as I had ordered a large pickup order. The crispy duck was supposed to be the crown jewel of the meal. My family of 4 was going to enjoy the deliciousness that I had enjoyed as a child growing up. All of us ate the meal...and fell asleep.
      Until the middle of the night... my wife woke up with terrible stomach pains...and to make a long story short...ended up on the couch for like...8 straight hours...bile and all. She was the only one to eat the duck. Everyone else partook in each item. Thanks Canton. You suck. She regrets not stopping when she mentioned the duck tasted "gamey". Get your shit together.

      Now, let's be clear: i am from NY and have lived close or in cities my entire life, so i am not capable of giving 5 stars simply out of comparison. That said, Canton is the best chinese place around this area. They were incredibly accommodating of our big group last night and served up a banquet that far surpassed the expectations of the crowd (which included mostly foodies and Asian folk). Wonderful service and wonderful food. We'll definitely be back.
      p.s. oh. and be forewarned of frightening confederate flags in town on you way to this restaurant, but also know you are on you way to support a POC business to make up for it.

      I am surprised this place isn't busier. I've been here several times while working in the area and it is very slow at lunch

      The food here is always very fresh and very good.

      Everything is prepared when you order
