It's hard to find a decent Chinese buffet since Covid. This isn't the greatest one I've been to, but it's not too bad. The service is confusing and English isn't the first language of anyone there. I've only been there for lunch, and I've been there 3 times since I discovered it 2 months ago. I will go back. From what I've tried, the only thing I would not eat again is the hot and sour soup. It had absolutely no flavor. On the other hand, everything else I've tried has been good to great. I love the beef and broccoli and load up on the broccoli portion of it. Throughout the buffet the vegetables are not overcooked and are extremely satisfying. That's just me; I'll eat anything in moderation but I mostly focus on plant-based food. If you're like me, you can be fairly entertained by what people put on their plates... piles of deep fried stuff slathered in goop. Not my idea of food, but you can see why people look the way they do and suffer the way they do from coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome based on their dietary choices. To each their own, that's what I say. read more

This place is garbage the sushi was dry and the staff was rude if I where to shit on a plate it would taste better

I LOVE this buffet! And the employees have always been friendly & helpful too. Great variety, and they always have fresh, yummy food!

I've been here several times and taken to go once. We went tonight and it was just awful. It's never spectacular but usually decent. Tonight not so. Everything was just old. The gravy, why there's gravy I've no clue, but a nasty film was over it. Everything with breading was old and dried out. The soup was old. The rice was old. It was just icky. I paid 15$ a person to eat nothing but a small piece of teriyaki chicken and one slice of a sushi roll. Huge bummer. I will say the guy who works up front is always really nice. The place really needs a deep cleaning too. read more

Back again, Very Delicious, great selection, excellent prices and I need mention parking is excellent and roomy. At least once a year my wife and I drop in ? Very handy in the neighborhood and only minutes away! ''Thank you and my usual 5 stars*****! read more

We were stuck in Vancouver and was craving for Chinese food. Based on the "decent" review, we decided to give this place a try. The restaurant is a standalone building with low ceilings. It's practically a manufactured building placed in the middle of a parking lot. When I first walked in, I noticed there were only two long stands of food; probably less than eight "real" entrees to choose from. The rest of the food (about 10 + others) were snacks, fruits, and other junks that came out of a box/bag or can. Most of the food were fried, doughy, and greasy. I roamed around the restaurant and noticed they need some serious updating and cleaning. The restroom only had two stalls. There were tagging/writings and drawing on the bathroom walls and doors. The lighting of the restaurant was dim and yellow/warm, which gave it a dingy feel/vibe. The service was what I'd call decent. We were seated promptly (within 5 minutes) and water was refilled to the top at all times. The server frequently checked on us and provided us with napkins/cleared our tables when necessary. Would I come back? Definitely not. I gave them a 2 stars because of the service.... This place is hands-down the worst Chinese buffet I've ever been to. Sorry to say.... This experience makes me question why people give the restaurant "good" reviews -- I wonder "have you ever tried real Chinese food in...Portland, OR or Seattle, WA?" The price = cheap. $11.99/person for dinner and weekends. Lunch is $8.99 only on the weekdays. read more

Nothing impressive. The food was not even decent. The entire time we were there not one server helped us. The plates stayed at our table the entire time and we just pushed them to the corner to make room. A waitress came to our table and randomly took our soy sauce and left before we could ask her for more water. Makoto is much, much better! read more

The worst Chinese food I ever had in my life The food looks like its had been cooked last year

Hi if your reading this wanting to come to this restaurant I have not been but I know people who have it and they have received some poisoning I'm not the person to put a bad review on a company because I like to look at the bright side of things but multiple reviews talking about food poisoning and on someone who got food poisoning from this place this place needs to be shut down immediately or they can just serve better food again I don't wanna hurt this company but it's not OK to be giving people food poisoning thank you so much have a nice day. #shut this place down. No hate to the chefs of this place read more

Pretty average Chinese buffet in Vancouver. At around $10, lunch isn't too spendy. Selection is solid although some items were a little dry.

First time dining here, and our experience didn't really meet expectations. I was looking forward to the sushi bar but it was very limited, as the 3-4 kinds looked and tasted the same and didn't have any fish options. It was a little disappointing. Everything in the buffet kind of fell in the same range in terms of overall taste and my liking. Nothing was extraordinary or great. Everything was just average. I'm not sure if I would go again. read more

Maybe people have too high of an expectation for a Chinese Buffet? I mean it's Chinese and it's a buffet! You don't go to a buffet for the highest quality food. You go for high portions of the stuff that is bad for you and yummy. So if you find yourself eating organic tofu and bread with avocados then I don't suggest you come here. For what it was the food was good. Heck, my three year old even ate a plateful! My favorite was the honey chicken and pork fried rice. We came around 6:30pm and most of the dishes were restocked and maintained while we were here. There were a few things I steered clear of like the steamed clams and the crab legs that looked like they had been sitting for a while. Service was hit or miss depending on who you were talking to. The Hostess who sat us was very short and gave little to no eye contact, a few other Hostess were much more pleasant and the young lady that brought us the check was very nice and friendly. Overall I will come back, some tasty Chinese buffet for a decent price. read more

I finally figured out how to do the mobile check in. The trip here was worth it just for that!. Was all set to go to Taste of Asia - my fave chinese buffet. But Toby suggested we try something else and that he had read some awesome reviews for this place. And so it was. As must as I love my regular haunts, I love to try new places even more! So the restaurant itself is nicer than TOA. Not any more comfortable, about the same - but it does look a bit more updated - the usual booths, but clean and sparkly. The food is very similar with a few deletions/additions. My usual M.O. is to fill my plates so I get to try a little bit of everything... I mean everything. But I get very little of each, and I finish maybe 35% of what I sample. So I'm wasting food, but if it isn't really good, why bother? In general, the food is pretty good, but simply not as good as TOA. And the sushi isn't nearly as good - with fewer options here. So - there may be some things they make extraordinarily well - but I think I'd have to order those from the menu. But next time, I'm going back to Taste read more

My husband and I moved to Portland over a year ago and have pretty much been on the hunt for a delicious Chinese buffet. We moved from the East Coast where the buffets were a plenty! That doesn't seem to be the case over here. Maybe we're just not looking hard enough? Anyway, we have been to Canton Chinese a few times now. The first time we went for dinner and wow, were they super packed! The food was just eh, alright. We were craving a Chinese buffet again so we went back to Canton. This time was the prime lunch time. It was still pretty busy, but not as bad as the dinner time. The food was better. Finally, we went a third time. It was late lunch and the crowd was very minimal. The food sure was delicious! I think the first time we went, I just didn't know what to expect about the food, but now I found what I like and I have even tried new things. Much of the food is fried, but that's what I expect at a Chinese buffet. read more

Best stuff your face Chinese food I have ever had. I used to go to the first location they had on Fourth Plain. Great customer service then and still is. It is a must if you are really hungry. read more

Canton Chinese Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Other than edible food, that is all I could find positive about this place. I was craving sushi and didn't feel like traveling across town to my usual spot, and I regret it. There are two large buffet lines and are filled with the typical Chinese food you'd come to eat. General Tso, sweet and sour pork, crab puffs, etc. I was mostly looking forward to having sushi, and the selection was very small but the quality is something to complain about. The rice had a strange texture, and aftertaste, not to mention the lack of fish. It seemed like they were store bought rolls that had been refrigerated. I tried a fair amount of what they had to offer, but I am still disappointed. I'll stick to my regular spot. read more

This was our second time trying this place. The first time was pretty good, so we went back a week later. Nasty. The Chow Mein had a sour flavor. The egg foo young was dry and hard and had no flavor and the brown gravy no flavor at all. Some people had masks on and some didn't. Staff had gloves on , but didn't change them in between cleaning tables and refilling drinks. That's just nasty. When we paid for our food and they asked how dinner was? I told them that it was nasty. All she said was "oh sorry". NEVER AGAIN. I'm not looking to catch food poising read more

Seriously, it's a buffet. I'm not expecting perfection. With that in mind, this place kind of rocks my world. And those doughnuts! read more

I like this place the food is tasty and seems to be fresh and hot. The only thing I didn't like was the desserts. There wasn't many options at all and the only one that was good was the almond cookies and the ice cream was okay. The food was very tasty, the sushi was just veggie sushi, which was probably for the best because it sits out a bit and raw fish would most likely be a hazard. The food was good and the service wasn't bad, I will probably go again at some point. One thing I will end with is if you are gluten free it's not a good place, there isn't much for gluten free options as lots of the food is deep fried. And there are no labels saying if anything is gluten free. Happy eating! read more

I'm giving two stars because the Canton has been a family favorite for a long time.... but recently things have gone downhill... and it kind of was the last straw for me last night. We walked in at 8:30 and the hostess made sure to inform us that they close at 9pm. Yep... no problem.. I get it... like most buffets.. you're going to stop refilling the buffet at 9pm. (this is how they have done it in the past) Nope.... most of the selections on the buffet were WELL past their overdone in the warmer tray point, and no hope of getting them refilled. Several selections were empty... We paid full price for a half of a buffet. To make matters worse... at about 5 minutes to 9 they came around and collected our plates.. including the one my daughter was still eating off of... and at 9pm they brought us our bill and told us we had to pay and leave. I'm guessing there was someplace more important they had to be.... I guess it is time for us to go back to our old "family favorite" read more

The BEST Chinese Buffet!! A huge variety and good quality! We will be back for sure!! read more

A quick Dad craving for Chinese brought us here today for lunch. The place was busy but we were seated fast and the food was hot. Service wasn't the most outgowing or the friendliest but they did their job, cleared your table, kept your drinks full, and stayed out of your way. Typical Chinese Buffet with decent buffet food. Don't expect to be wowed but you probably won't leave dissapointed either. read more

It's only worth it if you're going to eat a ton of food. Most people here do that, just pile on food over food on plate after plate. I had the egg flower soup and it was insanely bland. All the chicken dishes were awful, my toddler refused them and he loves chinese. They put out about two crab legs at a time so don't expect to get any. Sushi was too scary to try. For 15$, I'd rather just get some takeout chinese for about 10$ that fresher and better quality. If you're able to eat huge quantities and don't care about quality it's great I guess. read more

Of the four or five Chinese Buffet's in Vancouver I believe this one has the most flavorful food. I often feel buffets tone down the flavor as to make all happy. The recent addition of salad rolls here is a plus. The service here far outshines any buffet in Vancouver. I have asked them to freshen up and item and they have always made a fresh batch. Unfortunately this is not the cleanest of the Chinese Buffets in Vancouver. It's hard to give any more than three stars as nothing here is exceptional. Nothing is bad. read more

This is your typical tasty Americanized Chinese food. It is perfect when you want: (a) this type of food and (b) you want to try or eat lots of dishes buffet style! Food was a-ok, warm and lots of choices. There is another buffet very close to this one. I will have to try that one and see who is better. For now I had all my Chinese buffet cravings met. read more

You can't beat 7.50 a person during lunch buffet. So many choices, and it's very well organized, presented and clean! :) friendly staff as well. Thank you for good service. Will come again. I also asked a staff member to educate me and help me decide which sushi to try since I'm new to it, and they were helpful. read more

Just read their latest health inspections in the Columbian newspaper's Weekend guide for January 11-18, 2018 and they received a 93. Yeah, ninety three. As in zero is perfect, and at 100 the health department shuts you down. What in the holy f*ck is going on with this restaurant?!?! Scary read more

This is the best all you can eat place in vancouver ive been going here since I was 7 and now I'm 20 and still go my husband is just as obsessed with Canton as I am!! It has so many options and the food is always freshly made ive never been unsatisfied with Canton we will be going here forever!! I hope thia place never shuts down I'd die lol this is my favorite place in the world to eat people who know me know I can't live without it from time to time read more

The food is ok and they have a good variety. The staff is not friendly but in thier defense they are on the move constantly. The cleanliness of this place is barely above code if at all. Could definitely be on dirty diners in my opinion. I usually do not eat this type of food but once in a blue moon I get the urge then I remember why I.don't. Ughhhh popping buttons Definitely not a place to take someone that u are trying to impress. read more

First off if you have rated this place high you have no palate of understanding of good food! Keep eating your boxed food from the freezer! I finally decided to give this place a second chance and will never go back. Ever! First off it took me asking 3 servers for chopsticks before I finally got a pair. The lobster was so overcooked that it was a pile of inedible mush. The oysters had so much garlic on them that you tasted no oyster. (And I love garlic!) Bit into an egg roll and it left piles of grease on the table. And the calamari, OMFG the most disgusting I have ever had I couldn't even bite through it. I tried little bits of everything and didn't find a single item I thought tasted great. And when I was paying they acted like they could have cared less that I patronized there establishment. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Dragon King instead. Friendlier and they at least know how to deep fry an item so it stays soft and crunchy.. read more

We were craving good Chinese food and tried a couple other places the last couple weeks and were disappointed. Finally we have Canton a go. I ordered takeout: chicken fried rice, Kung pao chicken, and beef chow yuk. The portions were huge and the food delicious. We will definitely be going back soon. read more

Chinese buffet anyways. Food is good, service is great. A lot of options and price is decent. They keep the food fresh and make sure everything is clean. read more

Possibly the best Asian buffet I have been to in my lifetime. When I say lifetime, I mean a long time and my god their food is great. In my opinion, I don't know what the other people were thinking when they put a star under 4. The service was absolutely spectacular and I was able to get hot and ready food right as I entered through the door. Overall I highly suggest you come and take a look inside and try their wonderful and delicious food! read more

Nothing special here. Didn't expect exquisite fare, but I definitely expected mire... Although they do have a sampling of sushi//Cali rolls, the offerings are standard. Overall, just an average Chinese buffet. Typical sub par customer service, and many items not filled, or maintained, which is unfortunate, because a few items I wanted were scraps, looked old.... I did dine at 730pm... If any arguments could be made, but boils down to poorly managed buffet offerings/portions. read more

I put 5 stars because the food is always great. Out of all the Chinese restaurants this is my favorite

My days for loving buffets are fading. However, my kids still love them. This place is actually pretty good and doesn't taste like Chinese buffet food, more like made to order. Everything is fresh and tasty, they don't skimp on quality. Service can be brisk at times, and some of the staff aren't that friendly. It's worth a stop when in the area. read more

dear ladies and gentleman's if You decide to go to canton Chinese buffet make sure your ready for some action! of you don't leave a tip be Ready for some serious attitude and dirty looks, make sure you have cash to leave at least 25% tip before walking to pay your bill at the stand! or they well walk With you to make sure you leave a generous tip or else! the cashier knows who left a tip and who doesn't since the Waitresses scram out your table number to let her know there was no tip, Extremely rude staff! i didn't have any cash on me so me my kids and my wife left our table walked to the cashier stand to pay out bill, the waiters yelled and made sure the cashier knows there was no tip so then they charged us adult price for our 3 kids and when I asked why she give me this huge dirty look and said you know leave tip why you know leave tip, I said I'm going to on the receipt but I didn't have cash on me then she changed the charges, I left 10 in tips and apparently that wasn't enough! so got more dirty looks! I'm done with this place these people are rude and the food honestly isn't worth it. read more

Best Chinese in the portland area, everything is cook perfectly. It's gets busy because it's sooo good.

This isn't a fancy place, but I promise you, that's ok!While some items looked more appetizing than others, there was something for everyone. The only thing I found disappointing were the spring rolls as they were pretty flavorless. For the price, lunchtime is the better value so I recommend going then. Solid 3/5. read more

Typical story, when they first opened they were great. Fast forward to the quality falling off followed by the cleanliness then the service. Don't bother. read more
