Just had the dinner portion of War Shu gai which I hadn't had in over 20 years. Amazing amazing and amazing. Strongly recommend it. Delicious. Service was from a high school kid, but his manners and service were spot on. I've eaten at many five star restaurants and although the ambiance was better at those restaurants the food and service was equal. read more

First time trying this place. My wife and I both ordered General Tso Chicken. Food came out hot and was not too bad. It was. bit spicier than other places I have been. Over good flavor just was not anything special. The dining room was empty except for one other guest and was standard fair for small Chinese restaurants. Service was good, no frills. Took our order, food came out, refilled water and cashed us out. No chit chat but friendly. Would consider again, perhaps something different from the menu. Interesting side note. there was a line on my bill that said other food item. Hand written next to it said tax. However the tax line on the bill was 0. The amount was calculated incorrectly. It makes me wonder if they are trying to avoid sales tax here. read more

Good Chinese. Moved to the area in search of authentic great Chinese. Like this place. Great fresh veggies. Light sauces. Good flavor. Excellent correctly cooked shrimp. Good noodles. Decent fried rice. Will be back read more

The food is very good and the staff is courteous. They have my favorite dish, which is Shrimp Egg Foo Young. Almost all Asian restaurants in Delaware do not offer this dish. I believe that most of their business is done through carry out. read more

Extremely greasy and arguably the worst Chinese I've ever had. First look, it seemed like your typical fast Chinese food place but it's not.

I bowl in Delaware on Tuesday nights and it's a goal to hit a different spot in town every couple weeks for dinner. My friend wanted Chinese. Having no experience with any place in town, I looked on Yelp. I was sad to see that the average for this place is below 3 stars. Google gives it above 4. I suggested that we try here anyway, and I have no regrets! Already at 430p on a Tuesday, there were several patrons. A great sign of good food! The decor is definitely not what you are going for, but it is very much like any other small family style Chinese restaurant. The prices are affordable, but you could tell there was a recent price increase based on the handwritten prices over the old on the menus. ;) Everything costs money, I get it! The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. But, I must tell you--they have THE BEST curry sauce I've ever had! I opted for the Curry Chicken (a la carte), and instead of Chinese veggies, I subbed for broccoli and got steamed rice. Nice portion size, but I could barely stop myself from eating all of it! I ordered their crab Rangoon, too... they were good, but nothing extraordinary. All of our food came out fresh and my friends really enjoyed what they had--Hunan Beef and War Su Gai. We will definitely be back. read more

Before I moved away 4 years ago I was coming in here periodically since 2005. The food is always fresh, tasty and hot. The owner is always very nice and accommodating. I stopped by for dinner. I ordered the Singapore Noodles dinner. It started with a small bowl of Won Ton Soup and followed by an appetizer plate with a giant prawn, egg roll, and rib. Then came the noodles. I was surprised there was curry in it because it was not listing it on the menu but it was sooooo good! It was a very large serving so I had to take the rest home. According to the owner he has been there for well over 20 years. The place is small and does not have a lot of seating but could use a little bit of an update. One thing I really like is they do not have a TV on. Some music would be nice. read more

I am new to delaware . It was the first Chinese carryover I have in delaware . It is canton style. I don't normally order soup,but My fiancée get their hot and sour soup,and it is different as other Chinese restaurant,and it is good . Love it. read more

The food it is kinda dry and the taste can improve but they got some really good staff and nice place.

The crab Rangoon was soggy. The chicken was so chewy, I had to spit it out! Terrible!!!!

This is THE best Chinese food I've ever had... and I've traveled and ate all over the country. My family has been coming here for 20+ years and whenever I come back to town, I always make a Canton stop. The owner is so nice :) Kung Pao is probably my favorite dish. Egg rolls are delish, as is the wonton soup. No mystery meat in anything here! Whoever has given this place bad reviews is nuts because there is seriously nothing bad about Canton!!! read more

Still very good Chinese food. Decor is even more dated than when I last reviewed this place 4 years ago. Staff is still great. Have yet to have food made spicy, even when requesting it extra spicy. Not sure what the deal is there. But hey, 2 meals for under $20? That softens the blow. read more

Awful new owners nothing we got tasted like the " Old Canton" my favorite dish was a mess & they did not have peanut sauce on it and argued with me. WHY WHY WHY did our old friend sell & not tell us during COVID, so sad. read more

This is our go-to Chinese food takeout. My fiance always gets the sweet and sour chicken and loves it. I like to mix it up. Both the Hunan chicken and beef are great if you like spice. Sometimes I get Wor Su Gui or Moo-goo Gui pan, which are both delicious. Chen is a wonderful man. Lunch prices are inexpensive and they include fried wontons with your meal, which I have always felt is a nice touch. As other reviewers have mentioned, the decor is dated, but if you're concerned about the decor of a Chinese restaurant, go to Molly Woos. If you're concerned about quality food at a reasonable price, go to Canton. To be clear, Molly Woos is very good, but expect to pay 2.5 times the amount for food that is marginally better, if better at all. read more

Thank goodness for Yelp. I'm not sure I'd have ever realized this place was here otherwise! Tucked away in a shopping center and not easily visible from the road, I must have driven by it a hundred times. But, with the heads up from Yelp I finally stopped in. Glad I did. I have a new favorite Chinese place :) The place itself is small and homey, the quintessential hometown Chinese-American restaurant with sauces on the table, a few Chinese decorations on the wall and ceiling, and a polite owner/server who makes you feel welcome. Maybe it's the nostalgic memories it brings back, but I love the whole feel of the place. It's like walking into my favorite Chinese place from my childhood, right down to the dishes of mustard and sweet sauce on the table.... And the food... One of my favorite dishes is lemon chicken. I like to order it at any Chinese place I go at least once as a sort of gauge as to the type of place it is. ...and well, I was quite impressed with the meal I got here. Just like the decor, this is the sort of thick-cut and sliced batter-fried chicken I grew up with and loved. None of those frozen nugget blobs, thank you! The sauce too is just about right - not too sweet, not too sour. Being that I dropped in on a Saturday still during lunch hours, for I think $7 or so I was able to get this as a combo meal, which came with soup, egg roll, and wontons. Awesome! The soup was not perhaps the best I've had, but I liked the egg roll. And the wontons were fantastic - curry flavor it seems. So yeah. Definitely my new go-to place for Chinese. It might be nostalgia goggles influencing me in part, but it is hard to argue against good food and service at low prices. read more

Canton Chinese Restaurant may have been hit with the "expectation bug" for me. Everyone bragged about how great it was and I've never found the food to be all that great. It is good. Just not as good as I expected from friends. Among the three Chinese restaurants (excluding Chandras and buffets) this is third on my list. read more

I love Asian curry, I must admit the curry here is not the best I've ever had but it is the best I've had in Ohio. I tried the chicken curry and felt compelled to inhale the whole plate. I also enjoyed the hot and sour soup. The fried wantons that came with the meal were meh but didn't detract from the experience. I also enjoyed watching the owner interact with the clients he seemed to know most of them by name. I enjoyed the experience and will be back. read more

Had some takeout for finals as a last meal with me and my roommate before leaving college, the chicken fired rice was good and general tsos was also good. I'd recommend for a quick meal and authentic Chinese food read more

This place is amazing. Best Chinese in Delaware by far. The staff is super friendly and the portions are always generous. Much more authentic than many Chinese places in town. read more

Very good food, good service and quick. A little off the road and not a place you would probably stumble onto on your own. Definitely worth trying this place. I love the General Tso's platter. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Delaware. Little hole in the wall behind Wendy's. I've never had a bad food experience there. Char Sue Noodle Soup, Singapore Noodles, Double Cooked Pork and the House Lomein are all excellent. read more

My Daughter Ordered from Canton Chinese Food from Delaware Ohio and when Door Dash delivered she started to eat and bit down on something hard and sharp, well she spit it out and it was GLASS! Yes Glass! She took it back to them they tried to say they Careful you not put in? For Real ya she wants to eat glass! Never Eat there Ever Again only got 1 star cause I had to rate you read more

I ordered General Tsos Chicken and white rice a week ago. Food was boxed in a nice Chinese container, but had piles of goo and liquid in with it. Tastes like pure grease. Chicken was awful taste. Rice was over cooked. Very disappointed. read more

Best Chinese in town by a mile. Not even close! I have been eating here for five years and have yet to have an order messed up or the food not be excellent. I can not say either of those comments about any of the other Chinese restaurants in town. read more

This used to be one of my favorite Chinese places. But they have started using rancid meat. I guess they are trying to save a couple of bucks. It's really sad, I hope they go back to fresh chicken someday soon. read more

Canton's is just ok. My husband's sprite came with food floating around in it which made me hesitant to drink my lemonade. We ordered the crab Rangoon appetizer. There was hardly any crab in them. Although you get 4 for $3.50 I was disappointed. What a rip off. I told our waitress about it and she gave me some lame excuse. I told her we weren't satisfied but misled. Thought we were getting crab. She said she would tell the manager but she didn't we told him as we paid. He just said ok and took our money. The restaurant has been there for several years. I wasn't comfortable with the service at all. I felt they didn't care if we enjoyed the food or not they just wanted us to pay for it. Horrible service. I ordered the Wor Su Gui and it was pretty good. You just don't get enough rice for the amount of entree they give you. My husband was satisfied with his sweet and sour chicken but ran out of rice. . It had the pineapple in it. Most contemporary Chinese restaurants leave that out. read more

Canton Chinese Restaurant - This is a crab Rangoon appetizer. As you can see the amount of crab you get - Chinese Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

There are few ways in which to mess up Chinese food but I must say the seseme chicken was one such fail. I got the seseme chicken platter lunch version @ 2pm Saturday. The wonton soup left much to be desired as did the egg roll. Back to the chicken...it tasted as though it had been left over from the night before's fried batch.I guess you could say that I was not impressed at all. The price was ok I suppose and I might give it a try again during busy hours as I suspect the food perhaps maybe a bit more fresh. read more

Not very impressed with this place. I heard it was really good. Well, based on the food I received, I believe different. Shrimp are dinky...not a fan read more

This use to be a great place for food. Last night we ordered general Tao Chicken and sweet and sour chicken dinners. This is what we usually order. When we picked it up the bill was over $30 when it was usually around $24. So we figured prices go up. When we went to eat we couldn't even get a bite down. The Chicken was Terrible. It was soggy, cold and covered in what tasted like way to much soy Sauce. This use to by the best place in Delaware but we won't be back. read more

This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant, and really the only the Chinese food restaurant I eat at. I have been coming here with my family for the last 25+ years and I LOVE the hot and sour soup! That being said, I should add that I do not really care for Chinese food in general. I think that reason that I am such a fan of this place is that I have many memories over the years of coming here with grandparents other various family members. The owner is a really nice guy but the service if you eat in the restaurant is normally not very attentive. Besides the hot and sour soup the food isn't anything outstanding but the price is good. read more

I can't even give this place a rating because it was that bad. I did a pick up order and was super excited to try a new place. I got home and my crab Rangoon barely had any filling in it. I ordered orange chicken and my friend ordered general tso. My orange chicken was not orange chicken and it was very salty. The general tso's chicken was not spicy and did not taste like what it was suppose to. I called and spoke with the owner and he told me it was suppose to taste that way and he was rude. I asked if I could get a credit or if I came in next time that I could get the same thing. He told me no that I have to come in tonight to get it remade which they closed in ten minutes at that time. I never got my money back or food reordered. I would not recommend this place at all. I will say the white rice was about all that taste good. read more

Absolutely terrible ! Wanted to over charge us for our food just because we are of different race. I will not support this business no longer due to their awful service. They tried to charge me 6$ more on my meal for a bowl of soup and then they said yes price does matter because of who you are ! Race matters here for your price of food ! read more

Food here is slightly below average compared to other Chinese restaurants in Columbus. Thankfully newer Chinese restaurants have come to Delaware that gave alot better options. read more

Great pricing however the food is average and the portions are decently sized. In my opinion it is not the best Chinese place in Delaware. Shanghai is a lot better and offers the same pricing and bigger portions. read more

We really like this place. First ate here in the mid 80's. Best war sue guy in Delaware.

I've eaten here for many years and liked everything I ate. A new Chinese store came to Delaware, Ohio (up on Houk Road for those of you who know the area) and I tried it. Never again will I go to the Houk Rd Chinese restaurant. At Canton the meat is always tender, the sauces are great and you get good portions...although you might have to ask for a little more rice. The vegetables are done just right, too. read more

This is the only place I get chinese! The egg rolls are fantastic and the general tso's is so good. The lo mein noodles as a side is my daughter's favorite. I like to put the duck sauce on the noodles with chicken. If you're looking for something quick, yummy, and you'll have leftovers; order takeout! read more
