I'll be candid. Our last few meals didn't come close to what we experienced when they first opened. I was ready to write this place off as another in a line of typical suburban Chinese American restaurants. But Canton Cook redeemed its reputation with last night's dinner. Delish! While I usually prefer "dry" chow fun, I had a feeling their version with black bean sauce would hit the mark. And it did! A generous portion, lots of beef and the sauce was not overbearing, as I've found in other restaurants. Salt and pepper squid -- listed as 'fried spicy salted squid' on the menu -- was very good. Leftovers for me, tonight. Yay! read more

Great Cantonese Chinese food you wouldn't expect in Marietta! Ambiance is okay, but the excellent food is the main draw! Once you go, you'll be hooked and be back again and again! read more

Delicious food, big platter for a really good price love the green jasmine tea. Authentic.

While it is almost a 30 minute drive to get here I am always pleased with their kind staff & tasty dishes. The menu is large & portions generous. read more

First time after passing it for 3 months. I loved the roasted duck. Crispy skin. Very tasty with ginger and bean sprout. The rice was sticky would have been better with fried rice . A little expensive since it came with white rice. Egg roll full of cabbage no pork read more

My top go to for Chinese food. Authentic Cantonese cuisine. Must try Basil chicken, shrimp with egg sauce or fried sea bass. Located on the industrial side of Marietta but is safe and has lots of parking space. read more

The food at Canton Cook was so good especially the crab rangoon & the Basil chicken. Both dishes were so good & flavorful. The service wasn't the best. After we were seated it took quite some time for us to be acknowledged by our server. We actually had to wave someone down who then took our order. I can tell it's a very popular spot for dining in & carry out. read more

Came here on grand opening day! It's so great to finally have Canton cooks where it should be,...on Canton Road. We've been always having to drive all the way to the Sandy Springs location to get our traditional Chinese dishes. With much anticipation we were very content as much as our stomachs were. Staff was hospitable and food was cooked promptly and came out hot! The atmosphere in the restaurant was pretty relaxing and accommodating. We ordered their lobster dish, beef chow fun, Peking duck, chicken with cashews, salt and pepper squid, everything was delicious and the servings were plentiful! One recommendation is; their entrance is tricky getting in and out of. There is a yellow painted island to block opposite traffic flow into the park g lot and the dip is pretty steep. There's no chance of any lowered cars getting in and out. Hopefully the entrance gets widened or redone to be more accessible. Enjoy the food! And note too. They will be open in the late hours for those of you still partying until club shuts down. read more

One of the best I've been to outside of Buford Highway in Atlanta. Definitely built for large families.

Salt and Pepper squid cut small, seafood pan fried noodles, snow pea leaves with garlic!! SOO delicious!

Canton Cook is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta! It was my go-to for Cantonese food. I had been craving their food since moving to Valley, so I made it a point to arrange a dinner with my family while we were in town for the holidays. We made a reservation for 6pm for a party of eight and were seated promptly. Food is served family-style. Most, if not all tables have a Lazy Susan. Here are are usual orders: Fish maw and crab meat soup Fried sea bass Salt & pepper fried squid Chicken wings Snow pea shoots Buttered prawn with egg floss Salt fish fried rice One of the many things I love about Canton Cook is their consistency. I've dined at all of their locations and have ordered pretty much the same items. They're all cooked the same way and are always, always delicious. I love everything we get, but the soup, sea bass, and buttered prawn are definitely my favorites. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The prices are very affordable. The staff is quick and attentive. Canton Cook hits the spot everytime! read more

The best seafood Chinese restaurant in Atlanta area . Reasonably price and the portion is generous . Staffs are friendly and efficient .

This is the best regular Chinese restaurant in the area! (Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Acworth, and Smyrna) I don't include Sichuan in this Chinese restaurant grouping because that is a very different style of Chinese food. This used to be located in Sandy Springs and I used to regularly go to them when I worked over there. The best thing about them is their lunch special, which is around $10. Not only is it a great deal, they give you more than enough to make you full and it's delicious. There are also many options to choose from as well as some not on the lunch special list. My go to is the salt and pepper pork chop (not on the lunch special menu) which is always prepared perfectly and super tasty! The lunch specials all come with a soup (egg drop, wonton, and hot and sour), white/fried rice, egg roll, chicken wing/drumette, and the entree. Their prices outside of the lunch special are higher, but everything is really good and you get a good amount of food still. I don't think I've had anything bad here, but I do stay away from the more typical Chinese items you can get at the mall or Panda Express. Their Mongolian beef is one thing that is pretty regular/basic that is done better than anywhere else I can think of though. My go-to items are: salt and pepper pork chops, Mongolian beef, shrimp with lobster sauce, and the egg foo youngs. My wife loves the shrimp with lobster sauce and I have yet to see her order anything else here. It is really good though and they do the best job with it compared to others in the area. One last thing to note is that they are very fast! I can usually grab lunch there and go home in about 30 minutes. They've always been fast at their old location too and I'm glad that hasn't changed. It also doesn't negatively impact the quality of the food. Give this place a shot if you're nearby or are passing through the area and want Chinese food. You won't regret it! read more

Went there for lunch and got the chicken lo mien. It came with fried rice, soup, egg roll and chicken wing. The portion size was big. The service was quick and the waitress was friendly. Price is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Recommend checking it out. read more

Canton Cook exceeds all expectations each time we dine there. Their menu is full of Chinese delights and the service is excellent. On this lunch visit my wife had the mixed vegetables with tofu and I had pork egg foo yung. From the egg drop soup to the main course and fried rice and ending with a fortune cookie - everything was delicious. The portions are generous and priced reasonably. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Good Chinese food is always hit or miss. The food quality always seems to come down to two things. 1. Quality of the ingredients and 2. The skill of the people preparing it. Canton Cooks checks both these boxes. After years of trying to find Chinese food in Marietta, we've finally found it. Everything we've tried is awesome. The menu has everything and more someone might want. The service is what you might expect from similar ethnic food restaurants and the ambiance is simple and not over done. A casual yet slightly pricey option that is worth every penny. So glad to have them in our neighborhood. read more

This place is a welcome addition in Marietta, finally some authentic Canto style Chinese food. If you want fish maw soup or beef chow fun, this is your spot! Steamed fish is huge portions and pricey but well worth the dollars. All the hot pot dishes are spot on, including a more Taiwanese style chicken finger hot pot, which my family enjoyed Pea sprouts are cooked to perfection! With so many Szechuan style spots, great to have something from HK! read more

Food portions are enormous. The service is extremely fast and the only complaint I have is that the temperature in the restaurant was too warm and I sweated through my shirt. Everything we tried was delicious and outside of them needing to crank the temperature down on the AC, we will be back. read more

Loved the food on past visits but this trip we waited for ten minutes and two tables the came in after us had there orders taken and no staff came to the table. Never again!! Don't go here if you are hungry read more

I have been going to Canton Cook for over 20 years since it was on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs. It always has been my favorite Chinese restaurant. I love the large portions, fresh ingredients, excellent service, and fair prices. This was my fifth visit to the Marietta location. I ordered Wonton soup, Egg Rolls, BBQ Baby Ribs, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Roast Pork Fried Rice, and Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. The Wonton soup had two undercooked dumplings with salty broth. They used to put in green onions and a couple of slices of roast pork. The Egg Rolls were over-fried and only contained cabbage when they used to put in roast pork. They could have been more tasty. The Baby Ribs contained 4-small that were exceptionally greasy. The Sweet and Sour was a very large portion with lots of pineapple. The biggest disappointment was the Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. The 8 shrimp were undercooked, and the Lobster Sauce was watery containing very little ginger, egg white, and no green onions. Overall, the food was a C- and I was extremely disappointed. I complained to the waitress who had been there for at least 10 years and she looked at me like I was crazy. read more

This place is very busy but the service is very quick and prompt. We were seated almost immediately and all of our food came out pretty quickly as well. The restaurant itself is like your typical local Chinese takeout place so you won't find modern or updated decor. We got the Peking pork chops and the pan fried spicy salted bean curd. The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the tofu was also very crispy. However, the sauce for the pork chops was very sweet and surprisingly so was the tofu because I tasted a bit of sugar on the outside. Traditionally the tofu is supposed to be salty and spicy with a side of vinegary sauce but the side sauce for this was basically just soy sauce. Would've been better if both dishes weren't so sweet. read more

This is the best eat In Chinese restaurant I've ever had the pleasure of dining! FYI, these are family sharing sized dishes! So you can't eat it all on your own! We order the $45 special for 2. By the time the entrees were delivered we were almost full! No worries we took them home! You will definitely have food left to take home! We had the cashew chicken and magolian beef! Both we're delish! If you love egg drop soup like we do, please give it try! It's one of the best I've had! When the food and service is good, you will get 5 from me! So glad we found this place! read more

I always get to-go. The main food item I use to judge Chinese food isnt authentic dumplings, its egg rolls. The second item is fried rice. But with Canton Cook II their setving sizes are worth a little more in price. Its expensive but its the best. Always hot, flavor rich. I highly recommend. read more

Best Chinese food in Marietta. Family run. The service and the food are spectacular. portions are great for the price. Been here there for lunch and dinner. Both are very good. read more

Should have been a clue, but ... We arrived about 30 minutes after they opened. Only customers in the place. Ordered hot and sour soup. Tasted bland even after adding chilli sauce to it. Ordered the Mongolian beef with noodles instead of rice. Three dollar up charge. It was bland. Ordered crab Rangoon. My guess is that the temperature of their oil was way too high because they came out overcooked on outside and not cooked enough on inside. Ordered chicken fried rice. Asked for spicy. It too was bland. The only thing that was a plus was that the size of the portions was large. read more

My favorite Chinese food in Atlanta! My usual's are their fried chicken wings, egg rolls, shrimp lo mein, chicken fried rice, and garlic Bok choy. Strange location site but the food makes up for it. read more

They say the places that don't look like much have the best food and this is definitely the case! This place looks pretty blah and I've driven past a fee times. When my friend asked if i wanted it, i can't lie i wasn't very excited! But i didn't have any other suggestions so i just went along!! Amazing is an understatement! We got the wings as an appetizer!! I'm not sure how they get the chicken to fry so perfectly but it's insane! I almost burned my lip eating too fast! I got the chicken with broccoli as my entree. It came out a little funny looking but she told me i had to ask for brown sauce! They fixed it really fast! And they were really nice about it. It was soooo much food! We had to get to go plates! My friend got sesame chicken, i didn't try it but it looked really good. My food was really good so i wasn't really interest in trying her food this time! read more

My husband and I moved to Georgia 5 months ago. I finally convinced him to go to canton cook. We've been there twice already. The food and service are simply amazing. This restaurant is so good in belongs in New Yorks Chinatown. The portions are huge. We expect to make this a weekly ritual. read more

I have been a customer of theirs for over 20 years now. I have been going there ever since they were on Johnson Ferry Rd. I am glad they are closer to me now. I do not care too much about presentation or atmosphere as long as the food is good, price is right and decent service then I will be a return customer. I am so amazed that they have been able to be so consistent with their food, the taste and portion size have been exactly the same all these years. I wouldn't say cheap but at least they give you decent portion for it. We love their egg seafood flat rice noodle, ginger and scallion lobster, pan fried noodles with chicken on top and Beef stir-fry with rice flat noodle. We oder Sale and pepper calamari and tofu a lot but they are better when you dine in. read more

Overall 5/5: As amazing as their original location, so glad they opened this one up! Food 5/5: We got duck soup, of course! Super flavorful. We got snow pea tips as our veggies, classic. Loved their salt and pepper squid. Shrimp with mixed veggies, Seafood Chow fun (wet), Oysters, and Seabass. All super amazing. Consistently amazing. Service 5/5: Food came out fast and they made sure our water was always full as well as our hot tea. Server was friendly and patient. Vibe 5/5: Classic traditional chinese restaurant. Very clean inside. Thank you, Canton Cook! read more

Ambience. C Service. A Food. Price. A Opened June/july 2022. Found off some 4 lane road. With lots of parking lot spaces. Very open spaces and many tables. Hodgepodge decorations and overly bright fluorescent. Waitress station out in open. Can get loud in here. Service is friendly and accommodating. Very helpful placing order. And dishes came out as cooked. We didn't care which came first. We eat family style and share. All dishes were seasoned well and nice presentation. See my pics! Tonight special was 2 lobsters for $55! So we had it cooked 2 different ways. Scallions and onion sauce/ and lobster minced meat sauce. My fave is the crispy chow mein with tender beef and bok Choy. Liked the stir fry long beans with dried shrimp minced meat Chinese sausage. Very umami flavors. Overall, delish dinner. I'm here for the food and not the decor. I'm a fan...for the food! read more

Canton Cook - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I just got a terrible lunch special from them. I ordered Hunan chicken. I got it with an egg roll. I was there when it came from the back of the house and I walked out with it. The eggroll was cold and the chicken was like some sort of frozen meat that they had fried hard as a rock. It was terrible and had no spice in it, which Hunan chicken has spicy flavor. And when I called the girl said she needed to see the food as if I was going to drive back up there to bring her that food. Poor Customer Service even worse meal. No apology no concerns. read more

Beware of Canton Cook on 2063 Canton Road in Marietta who also owns the Canton Cook in Sandy Springs. They say they are open until 10pm. On Halloween night (last night) my boyfriend and I walked into the restaurant at 9:20pm. They refused to seat us and said we can only do Takeout. My boyfriend was a long time customer of their restaurant and this is how they treated him. These are the rudest Chinese people I have ever met. Please do not give them your business! read more
