The 5 star review is apparently old information. There was no buffet when I went on a Wednesday night. I went with my girlfriend who was not particularly hungry. We ordered a meal that we would share, a bowl of soup, a diet coke, and a water. We were told that we must order '$10 a person'. I have never heard of such a requirement. I was incredibly put off. I will not be returning. The restaurant was full, so it seems that the food cannot be that bad, but the staff was as bad as I have ever experienced. I left that night and I will never return. read more

The food at this restaurant was better than most in the area so why only two stars? The restaurant is incredibly dirty and looks as though it hasn't had a deep cleaning for probably many years (and I'm being kind). Now I'm not being picky I've eaten some of the tiniest hole in the walls in New York City that have produced excellent food but lack of cleanliness there is no excuse for! The chairs have deep cuts in the upholstery, the tables are greasy, the salt and pepper shakers are disgusting with grease and fingerprints all over them . The buffet also has greasy hand and fingerprints all over the metal, the signs advising patrons " not to take more than you can eat" are old food stain and crumpled taped to the buffet, carpeting is worn, dirty and stained with food ..same for the walls. I'm actually shocked that the Montgomery County Department of Health hasn't been in there to do an inspection and close them until they clean their place up. I've seen some other reviews which also cite the bathrooms as being disgusting. I shudder to think what the kitchen might look like. read more

Food is amazing, so you might be wondering why 2 starts well... the restaurant inside is dirty. the restaurant is very small and the tables are crowded together, the tables are very close to each other with causes everyone to be really close. wish they would remodel the place read more

Don't bother going here. I had frequented this restaurant many times but they don't own up their mistakes. Picked by up Crispy Beef and got home to find the whole meal was burnt to a crisp. I took it back and they replaced it with a smaller portion and with a rude attitude. Helen, The lady he serves at the front desk would not give us the manager's number or the owner. Canton Delight do you know how many Chinese restaurants I pass to get to you? I won't go there again. read more

I wish there was a way to give a negative 10 rating because this is what this store would get.  I was very happily in the store (celebrating that I got my 2nd covid shot) and ordered some shrimp fried rice.  She told me it would take 5 minutes yet she came back in less than 1 minute with this.  This raised a red flag because food always takes longer than a minute to cook.  I looked inside the carton and saw the same rice (not fried) from their buffet bar) and some half cooked shrimp on top). I told her, I don't want this...this was not freshly made.  she began yelling and screaming at me at the top of her lungs.  I told her, "I'm a customer...lower your voice....don't talk to me that way." She kept yelling and the other staff didn't stop her.  The shrimp fried rice was $8.00 nd the buffet was $9.25.  Instead of arguing with her I turned to the buffet bar and began making myself a plate.  She screamed "that's extra" and I said, "no worries - no problem - I'll pay the $1.25.  She kept belitting and screaming at me and when I went to put the $1.25 on the counter she started being extremely dismissive saying, "Just go , just, go..." like she was talking to a dog. I said, "Look, I've been very calm, letting you talk to me like trash....I'm Black, you don't like me....but don't you ever talk to me like that.  Yup, I said some curse words to her and then all the staff decided to tell her to stop mistreating me.  I did not expect a racist rude encounter to be the icing on my cake after I was so happy to have gotten my second vaccine.  They don't treat people right.  Please eat somewhere else.

Every time I eat here, I say the same thing "I can't believe I ate that". The food is tasty at times and the place is loaded with local construction workers at lunchtime. The problem is the place is filthy!! The floor looks like it has not been cleaned in years!! It's gross. The food is exactly the same buffet every day. Stir fried green beans that have so much MSG that they are gritty. The fried chicken is the best thing they have. If you are not picky about cleanliness then you will get your fill for $9.00. They add $.25 if you use a credit card. If you even think about NOT tipping, the owner has been know to chase people down and shame them. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

My husband and I like Canton Delight. We've been going there for 30+ years. Their buffet menu stays constant, so no unpleasant surprises. I have to say, their Moo Soo is great! The prices are good, the service is prompt and the portions are generous. The decor is dingy, but we don't go for the atmosphere. The food is satisfying. read more

Best chicken wings in the area. I know people that come down from pg county and baltimore county to eat just the wings. The buffet is small but the selection is tasty and the price can't be beat. Seating is limited. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. The food is always great. The buffet is always well stocked and clean. All you can eat. Great service and low prices. read more

Basically you get what you paid for, service is decent not 5 star worthy. Food is decent not that great, not many choices but not surprised since it's a family owned restaurant. One thing that bother me is that one of the owner ask for tip after you finish the food, I tip about 20% the owner expecting tips for just picking up plates is unacceptable since I take Soda no need to fill up the water. If you want some cheap buffet this is the place but don't expect awesome service. I will be back in a month or two which I've been doing for past few years. read more

Love this place! I come here all the time. Flavor-wise it's some of the best Chinese food in the area. The prices are also good, especially at their buffet. The other 2 or 3 Chinese buffets in the area charge almost twice as much, and the quality isn't nearly as good (even if their selection is bigger). read more

This restaurant has the friendliest employees! They serve the best Chinese food I've ever tried! The vegetable lo mein is full of a variety of perfectly cooked veggies and their vegetable rolls are delicious. The egg drop soup is a must! You get so much food for a low price (and it's the best!) read more

The food is good and I have never had issues with the service, but the waitress checking me out took a $20 and only gave me back the change for $10. I know I wasn't mistaken because I only had $20s in my wallet today. Not worth arguing with them. I just won't come back again. I don't give my business to people who steal. read more

My husband and I have been going to canton for years him as a child we would never change the interior could be updated but the food is excellent and cheap read more

What you pay is what you get this place offers a pretty minature chinese buffet which can either be carried out or ate at the restaurant. Best time to go even though it is busy is lunch time because that's when the food is the freshest possible. read more

This is a mom and pop Chinese restaurant. The food is well seasoned and the portions are good. The buffet is small, yet I go here for the chicken wings. The price is reasonable. This is not a fancy restaurant and it is an old style restaurant, but if you want good tasting food without emptying your pocket, this is the place to go. read more

I love this buffet. The Chinese food is definitely American style. The number of items on the buffet is not the largest, but it is always so tasty. The best deal is to order the take out box and over fill it so the lid barely closes - for only $8 lunch, $9 dinner (after 3pm). My favorite item is the Orange Chicken, but also like the Kung Pow chicken with peanuts. The green beans are also great. I also like that the buffet includes fried chicken and french fries as another option. You may have to wait for an item to be replenished on the buffet, but they are quick to resupply. The atmosphere is NOT why I come here, it is a dive. The service is friendly and quick. It really is like "eating in someone elses home kitchen". I'll be back regularly to load up to satisfy my craving for Chinese food American style. read more

Normally you think "meh another Chinese buffet" but if you can get over having no more than a few choices, this homey restaurant/buffet really hits the spot. The restaurant itself is small and the furniture and carpet look worn, so if you "eat through your eyes" this may offset, but the food.... oh the food! You have your staple dishes (orange chicken, beef and broccoli, noodles, fried rice and soup), but since it is such a small buffet to begin with, the food is that much better. Tastes fresh, hot, and well cooked. None of that big-mass-proucing-buffet-dry/overcooked-or-raw food business here! Their hot and sour soup was ah-mazing... I have tried it at about a dozen other places, and somehow it has never Delighted like the one from Canton. So, why not 5 stars if I loved it so much? First of all, no salad/fruit/dessert options -aside from the fortune cookie they hand out as you leave- (though I'll just help myself to another serving of that yummy soup!). Secondly, the boyfriend wasn't as impressed as I was. Yes the food is fresh, and yes it was yummy - but he still wasn't 5 star impressed. He is one of those people who "eat through their eyes" so the worn/dated look threw him off. Additionally, his chicken seemed to not have enough chicken in it, he says he got more skin than meat (oh, but the soup!) All in all, however, this is the first time I come to Canton Delight, and I will sure as heck continue coming back every chance I get (especially for that soup!) read more

We love this place. Food is amazing and gave good customer service

My favorite Chinese buffet (which doesn't really mean that much bc I hate Chinese buffets). But keep in mind, it's tiny and only has one island with food. No fruits or deserts either. However, it's close to my parents and there are times when it's like "ok no one cooked let's get Canton" and that's never a bad thing. One of the carry out boxes will feed the 3 of us given we always have rice (what you expect?) and some other small condiments. Yes, it's not the cleanest place but their food is amazing. I like to think I know Asian food pretty well and Canton definitely has one of the best Chinese, for what they offer and can fit into their space. I love their hot oil (although not very spicy). I do take off some points because they're not the nicest people. I usually don't even talk to them because I'm sure they don't want to talk to me either and so I just pay then leave. Beware though, they will chase you if you don't tip or don't tip enough. However, there was one time where I did see the server get upset and it was definitely a cheapskate customer. Overall, the servers do a good job with refilling your drinks and taking used dishes (that's really all they do) so what that customer did was uncalled for. There's more details but that's another story. If you want good buffet food, come here. Is it worth a trip if you live far? Maybe not. One of my cousins, who lives out of state, always has to eat here whenever she's in town. read more

Little hole in the wall but we love it! Small selection of food but it tastes great! The spicy sauce is great as well. Only thing I hate is the server hovers over to see how much you'll tip her. Otherwise our favorite little place read more

Decided to check this place out. When i got there i could tell its a cheap place. It didn't look clean at all. However, i thought at least the food might be good. I believe they never change their oil. The food is absolutely greasy and not healthy at all. The Chinese lady at the register was so impolite. I had my American express with me and had left my wallet at home. She talked to me as if i had a lunch worth of $1000. I told her that i would bring the money and she shouldnt be that much worried for a damn maximum $10 lunch. She was an absolute cheap lady who has no idea of what customer service is. She even called my cell phone to remind me of my debt to them. I am a resturant owner in VA and i had cases similar and i asked the customer very politely to bring the money at their convenient without even calling them. POOR QUALITY FOOD and NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. read more

Cheap chinese buffet. worth the food. You should try their chickens. And the green vegetables. Very tasty!

I gave this place a shot over my usual, I was underwhelmed. I tried the Singapore Show Mei Fun & Shrimp in Garlic Sauce. Both were marked "hot & spicy" neither was, so I was a bit disappointed. I ordered carry out, kind of glad because it did look a bit run down. I have some friends who swear by the buffet though, but you know guys, a huge to go container for $8 ($10 if you can't close it) and they are happy. Not sure I will go back unless something happens usual Chinese take-out place. read more

This place really isn't all that bad for the price. If price didn't factor into my review, they'd probably be 2.5 stars. The Chinese food here is pretty greasy but no more so than all the other Chinese places. The place is a bit cramped, and there is only a selection of about 5 dishes, rice, chicken wings, and lo mein, but again, for the price $7-8 (lunch-dinner) it isn't fair to expect much more from an all you can eat. read more

Been going here since I was a kid. Can't beat $8 for a decent lunch. Best fried chicken around. I won't go for the atmosphere, but carryout is great. read more

My cousin recommended this place so we came to check it out. The atmosphere is ok but that's not why you come here. The food is so delicious. The food is all you can eat for really cheap and the food is off the hook. They average 8-10 different dishes but they are all Very delicious. read more

Great food at a great price. Maybe not much to look at, but good where it matters. Awesome chicken wings .... I know a chinese buffet, but..... Fried rice and hot and sour soup are particularly good! read more

Great carry-out! Love the fried rice and chicken wing combo. Don't expect fantastic customer service though. I'd cut them some slack on that as this is one of your more "eccentric" Chinese restaurants. Don't expect much in that category. The food is great and the lunch hour menu attributes to that! read more

The place gives stomach full of food at moderate costs. But the restaurant had a strong smell of Chinese food and as it is air tight, it was difficult to sustain the smell. They have buffet for dinner and lunch. read more

The food is great, but the service is terrible. We did not get greeted when we came in. & the old lady waitress NEVER brought us a refill on our water!!! I will only do Carryout here. Don't dine in it's a waste, the old lady is rude and just nasty. read more

I've been coming here for years and I love it! Definitely more Americanized Chinese fare but it tastes great. Dining area is VERY small and dated, but clean. Family friendly. Great prices. read more

Live in the general vicinity and did not know about this place until last month. At first glance this place seems like your average run of the mill fast food joint with generic tasting food. Boy was I wrong. Pros For just $6-8 for a lunch buffet or dinner meal it is absolutely a steal! The food is fresh, hot, and wildly delicious. You cannot beat the distinct fried wings that they have - not quite KFC but it is not salty and is very addictive. They've got your noodles, assortment of rice, general tsao's chicken and beef plus veggies. The owners and their family are extremely nice and very accommodating. Cons - One day it could be peaceful and the next completely packed with lines forming outside. - Entire selection of food is damn good but missing a few gamewinners (seafood dishes) - Cheap and good eats so it will draw crowds from all "origins". Some random people were a bit unruly and uncouth; such as digging their noses and farting exceptionally loud in broad daylight. Overall Amazing place to enjoy a cheap yet tasty feast. Bring your friends and family - but if your group is more than 4... beware... there will not be enough seats and you will wait for a long time. read more

Its iffy sometimes the food is amazing sometimes its not the best. In other reviews ive said it but im not the biggest chinese food fan but its iffy here. Service is decent not to bad food is iffy. Decent place for a buffet read more

THE BEST FOOD!!!! No other buffet can compare to the food quality. You can put 50 buffets and not one could match the freshness of their food. It could use some remodeling but hey... I'm only there for food lol. read more

Not the best... It is a buffet after all.... But it is pretty good... By far worth the price

Canton oh canton. I have been coming to this place for years for their take out buffet. All that food for 8-9 bucks you honestly cannot beat it. The buffet is quite small but there are so many combinations you can make. I will admit the customer service is quite sh**y but whatever canton is still a fave of mine read more

Price is still 8.50 for a packed box, however they have changed their boxes at least three times in the past few months now. The carryout boxes continue to get small/smaller than your typical carryout box at any other chinese buffet or something like panda express. Food continues to be consistently fulfilling. Will have to monitor whether it is still worth coming here still read more

This is one of my favorite local spots. Their food is exactly what you're looking for when you want Chinese and their prices make it that much better. They offer a wide range of classic American-Chinese dishes and a fantastic dinner buffet for an unbeatable price. The staff is very enthusiastic and friendly. After only a few orders they remembered me by name. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for solid Chinese food for a good price with less than a 15min wait. read more

It's a small place that is super cheap. I usually come here for lunch due to the fact that the food is always fresh and the price is cheap.
