First time here at canton house. I came here Sunday afternoon with some friends about 1:25 pm. We were seated quick by the hostess then a few carts came by and we picked a few items. Nobody came to take our drink orders, we asked a waitress that was walking by if can get some water for everyone, she said ok. 10 mins passed still no water. We tried to flag down another waiter and he looked at us and walked away. Another man who I think was the manager came and took out drink orders and promised us that our drinks and hot tea will come out at the same time. 5 mins go by and we received the tea. It's about 1:45 now and still no water. We had about 6 items on the table that we picked a little while ago, the same dessert cart came by 3 times nothing else. It's 2:00 pm Now and still no water. I ate one piece of chicken feet and 1 shumai, we decided to leave so we paid and left. three staff members did apologize but we were annoyed at this point. Drink orders should've been taken at the start. it was pretty slow at the time also, Good Service is what brings me back to a restaurant and canton house did not have it on this day. I'll probably just stick with east pearl maybe I'll give canton house another try some day. But it's a for me. It should not take 45 mins to bring water. read more

This location is 10x better than the original. The service is surprisingly good - they are all friendly, will cut up the dim sum plates for you so it's easier to share, etc. The food is hot and fresh - I think it has more of a Chinese flavor than the other dim sum spots around but that's not a bad thing. Their Thai tea is very creamy, I like that it's half cream half tea. Must gets are obviously rice noodle rolls and their crispy roast duck. My new regular spot for dim sum! read more

Window browsing around the area and wanted something to eat., so I was surprised to see a new Dim sum place directly opposite of GW supermarket. The ambiance was super clean and room is brightly lit. It was perhaps 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. I was quickly seated without much problem. The food was okay. Cheong Fun skin felt just right. Not thick like other places and not thin enough that'll tear upon picking it up. The rest of the food were okay. Nothing spectacular nor off putting to write about. The attendants were nice and attentive. I did have to flag someone down for tea. Otherwise, an okay experience. Prices/portions are comparable to other places around the area. read more

Canton House - General sitting area - Dim Sum Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Food was great. Reasonable priced too! The only thing I would recommend is to try and avoid busy hours because it does take a while for them to come around with entrees other than that, give it a try! read more

This place feel like home. Joe the owner is super nice. The food is always freshly made. Is nothing fancy but quality is always good, servers are always extremely nice. MUST TRY THEIR CARROT CAKE!!! ORDER EARLY, sometime they do sale out! read more

A friend and I went for an early dinner on the Friday night after the Lunar New Year of the Snake started. I wanted to celebrate by having great food. I had been to a wedding anniversary banquet in December and had been impressed with the selection of dishes, so I thought this would be a nice place to celebrate the New Year. I ordered the steamed sea bass, gailan with garlic sauce, yang chow fried rice, seafood pan fried noodles and chicken corn soup for the two of us. My friend probably would have ordered a regular dish she likes, but I suggested I do the ordering for us as I don't think she would have picked some traditional dishes. Once ordered, the food came out fairly soon after the soup was served. As these were all Cantonese dishes, there wasn't any spiciness other than the chili oil on the table. My friend can't eat spicy, but I do, so it was just right for her and I added my chili oil/sauce. Our waiter was Dennis who I had recognized from the banquet in December. He was friendly and attentive. Other wait staff stopped by to clear dishes as needed or to check if we needed anything when Dennis was taking care of other tables. I was surprised to find out that this was Dennis' last night as he was going to help start up a Vietnamese restaurant in the City Market formerly Assi Plaza. We told him we'd see him at the new place. My friend and I finished our meal with the mango mochi from the dim sum menu. They were so good! Light, warm and oozing with mango custard. Just enough to finish up the meal. I thought the restaurant would be packed for a Friday night and the holiday week, but it wasn't. It made it easy to talk and not feel rushed to turn the table over for more guests. Definitely will be back. I always went to the Buford Hwy location for dim sum, but the Duluth location is so much closer and there's plenty of parking, so this may be a preferred location. read more

The classic dim sum experience in Atlanta. I prefer this location for ambience and service. It's not a 5-star meal like the monitor suggests, but it offers all the dim sum classics and they all hit the spot. This is a variety favorite not a quality favorite but the quality is above par. It's a really fun brunch for foodies. read more

Came here a couple weeks ago and quite disappointed. I know it's newer so it takes time to get into the rhythm of things so I will be back to re-try later. They kept running out of food options and we would have to wait 30+ mins for them to say they're still trying to make certain things in the back. The carts were pushed in no organized way, so we kept getting the same people with the same options but the ones we wanted never pasted our table once. We were there forever and felt like we left hungry. read more

We came on a Tuesday afternoon so they were slow and service was great. They greeted us at the door and we're very attentive. They open at 11 and we were the second ones here. It's a very big space. They have separate individual rooms on the side for private party. In those rooms you can do karaoke and they have their own separate bathroom with a bidet. How fancy! the other side of the restaurant is for event space. You can do a small or large event here because they have partitioning walls. Food is served very quickly after you order. It's still very new so everything is very clean and pretty. When you go into the entrance, it's very nice and modern, but honestly not as well decorated as their competitors. Pretty simple decor in the event space. They had dim sum all ready and served in carts. We tried both, ordering from the menu and ordering from the dim sum cart. The food and the dim sum cart was good and tasted as it should. However, it seemed like everything we ordered from the actual menu was a bit on the salty side. We had to eat extra rice to combat the saltiness. If it wasn't for that I think it would have been much better and my rating would be better. read more

I really wanted to write an amazing review! So newly opened bigger space lots and lots of people waiting. Service was sooo slow and the options were limited. I didn't take any pictures because whatever we got we ate and had to wait. There were no other steamed dumplings. There was only 2-4 varieties. No Hargao no Chaohou Fun Guo no pork spare ribs. A lot of the fried food was just cold the chili sauce on the table was very bland and just oily. The chicken feet had soo much red coloring to it. No one came to refill our drinks service took forever just for soda. The duck on the cart was the same duck getting pushed for 30 minutes. There was no plain egg tarts or the ginger tofu offered. Hopefully they get it together. read more

My family tried this newly opened place. Love the place, it's massive and the ambience is nice, making it a great place spot for small or large gatherings. I only gave 4 stars considering they're new. The service is a bit slow and still a bit disorganized like main entrees came out before the appetizers (dim sum) & soup. The dishes we ordered were so good except for the orange chicken. It was rather dry & chicken was hard. Other than that the place is good. Will go back for sure and give it another try. read more

Was thoroughly disappointed in the service. Waited over 10 minutes to ask for more water and put in 2 orders of dim sum. Another 25 minutes to get more water and our extra last 2 orders of dim sum. Servers were barely checking up on us. There were only 5 other tables in the afternoon and service was slow. Servers did not seem to know what they were doing and it looked like there was a lot of confusion. Food tasted the same as the Chamblee location. The restaurant looked a lot more fancy vs the other location as well. Hope to give them one more chance to see if their service will be better since they are newly opened.. read more

Canton House - Dim sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Wow! This place finally opened. We've been several times in the Canton House in Atlanta; I know they have awesome food. First since this is new, I am honored to be able to see the beautiful place. Clean, properly decorated with modern Asian theme; marble white floors clean Restrooms, bright lighting. You need to see the workmanship of this place. As for service, with new place, you can always expect slower service. The chef needs to familiarize their surroundings and communications between the servers and the chefs takes a few weeks to ironed out. As for the food; this is what we come for. Incredible!! The pork is tender with a touch of sweetness and spice. The fish is well presented with string beens and sauce. Great food! This is a must try right away! read more

Only time I saw my waiter was when he gave me the check. He said he took my order, he said he refilled my drink, he said..... Service is lacking, food is good. read more

Not sure why this place has a 3.8 rating. Food was spicy and came out fairly fast. There were two wedding happening and the brides were gorgeous! Hot and sour soup was black pepper based and different from what I'm used to, but it hit the spot! The shrimps were HUGE, lots of chicken, spicy . All the servers were kind and very attentive. Not sure who the young man was that came over, but he told us about the New House opening, the authenticity of the recipies and he was very pleasant to talk to. Next time were are in GA, this is a stop - and to think we only stopped because we wanted Dim Sum! We ended up getting so much more. read more

I ordered to go dim sum, the taste was ok, but the size is small... I only got 5 pieces trip for the order And the egg yolk bun have something in there... I can't figure out what is it, hope the other one was ok read more

The people were very friendly. Too bad the food was tasteless and lack luster. It would have been better probably if we allowed them to put MSG in the food which is in pretty much everything. I do not cook with MSG and I make plenty of Asian dishes, including soups, and my food tastes delicious. I think a lot of these type of restaurants rely on MSG to give the food flavor. Unfortunately, without MSG their food would not inspire us to return. We sampled a lot of different dishes and by accident sampled one that another person at our table ordered with MSG and that one tasted pretty good. read more

Ordered Beef chow fun, string beans and many dim sum. The beef in chow fun was still raw in the middle. ALL three of us had bad diarrhea later that day. Very bad experience! read more

This is a nice place that is spacious, bright and clean feeling. The people working there are exceptionally nice too! The let down is the food, which is only average. Shrimp is a staple of dim sum, but the quality of shrimp used there is not very good. Another issue is the oil that they use in the dishes, which is strong tasting and taints everything with an unpleasantness. If they can improve this, I would frequent this restaurant. read more

Upon walking in, you're greeted nicely by the staff and then taken to your table. The atmosphere looks nice and very clean. It's bright and beautiful. It definitely makes you think that it'll be good but unfortunately, that's where it stops. As always when you're finding a place to eat, the food is always the most important. Sadly, the food here was quite disappointing. Almost everything came out mushy and a lot of it was quite bland. There are many dim sum places in Duluth and this is one that I can't recommend. On top of the food not being so great, it's even overpriced! Much more expensive than the surrounding dim sum places. So putting those two together just equals a bad experience. Will not come here again. read more

Restaurant was clean and served dim sum in carts which were delicious. It was not too packed on a Sunday afternoon. Only thing is that I wish was more variety in their dishes, specifically tendon offerings that other dim sum restaurants have. Would visit again. read more

This food Din Sum & Duck was amazing & we had such a good time laughing and the waiter was funny and we all laughed together!

It was okay. I was really excited for a new dimsum place in Duluth to compete with Royal China, but it was nothing to write home about. Came in Sunday around noon, was told it would be a 30 minute wait, but turned out to be an hour. All the food was alright, nothing spectacular, just what you would expect for an average dim sum place. Interior and decorations were very nice and clean though. Carts came around fast enough, but it seems to heavily depends what seats you end up getting. read more

The service is absolutely the worst I have experienced. We're still one hour into Dim Sum, and our waitress has totally ignored us. I had to go to the server station to get silverware. read more

Sitting there with family without being greeted or offered beverages for quite a while until a couple settled at the next table who immediately got greeted and served tea. Waving at the server, and the server asked us to wait. 30 minutes passed by, still only got shumai from the same cart three times. I asked the server if he can just bring 腸粉, 糯米雞,蘿蔔糕 so we can hit the road. He told us that we had to wait for the cart, which never came. Sadly we only had a few plates of shumai from the same cart and one bowl of porridge when we walked out the restaurant. It's the worst dim sum experience ever! I normally tipped 20% at restaurant, but just couldn't today. The owner or manager needs to see this message. Your restaurant failed when your quality of service is affected by the ethnicity of your customers. Do your Chinese servers think Chinese customers don't tip enough for their services, so they are allowed to give this attitude to all Chinese customers? read more

So why are all of the food that they "cook" frozen and prepackaged? It's honestly not that good and you're better iff going somewhere else.

The food was very mediocre. However, the service was extremely unattentive, and it took roughly 40 minutes in order for our order to come out. Also, the waiters are very slow to get their attention, and even the bussers are really slow. They also seem to be understaffed, and don't plan on having your food come on time if they have a private event. Just go to Royal China for dim sum. read more

The waiters are hella rude and don't care about the customers at all, the place is plain and the environment doesn't do anything really, they take so damn long to bring your shitty ass food to your table read more

Canton House - Bad stuff - Dim Sum Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Food is good. Service is excellent. This is not a complaint. I just want to share my experience when I lost my iPhone. My wife and I left Canton house restaurant in Duluth around 220pm yesterday. We went to Gainesville for a meeting . On the way there, I wanted to call my friend and realized that l left the iPhone at canton house. So my wife called the canton house to see if my cell phone was there. The receptionist couldn't find it so she asked for Peter, the manager there. After talking with Peter, he said he would check on the camera and call back . Later on his receptionist called back and let us know they couldn't locate my phone. I canceled a meeting and turned around to Canton house to see Peter to check on the camera but he wasn't at the restaurant. We went to Verizon nearby to buy the new phone. After purchasing new iPhones the salesperson couldn't transfer database because I didn't have my old phone. We went back to Canton house looking for Peter . He checked on his camera and went back to the table where we were sitting to look for my iPhone. We were hanging around the reception area , suddenly the server came with my iPhone and said he found it on the parking lot next to his car. We said thanks and went back to the Verizon to see the salesperson to help me download the database to my new phone. It took a longtime to download so we left the Verizon with both phones still downloading. Here is my opinion for whoever lost the phone or found someone phone. When I lost the phone I was panic bc all contacts , important information , schedules and images ... saved in the phone with both my credit cards, drivers license and insurance inside the iPhone case. On the way back to Canton house in the car, my wife was trying to locate the phone but it was offline so she had to freeze both of my credit cards . We lost the whole Sunday afternoon running around trying to figure out how to find the iPhone with all information that I need for my work daily. And I'm still learning and download all apps and information to my new iPhone . I'm old man so learning how to get used and download information is not easy like young people . For phone founders: When you find the lost cell, please don't turnoff the iPhone so the owner can locate the phone. Give the cellphone to the counter or any business nearby with your name and phone # for owners to comeback pick it up. We were on vacation with friends in Cancun few months ago. I were sitting on the chair by the swimming pool while all my friends in the pool. The cellphone on the next chair kept ringing , so I think it's an important call , so I answered for my friends while they're in the pool. It turned out the couple and hotel staff were looking for the lost phone around the pool. So when I answered the phone they asked me where I was sitting. They found their phone and everyone including hotel staff were very happy and cheering. So please don't turn off the cell whenever you find it so owner can locate it Conclusion: The cell phone is not that important but you think data and information on your phone are important then you should save them on icloud because you can't find these information if you lost your phone. If you're cellphone finder, please think about people who lost their phones how panic they feel and also cost them time and money, so do the right thing. read more

My son and I went on Sunday at 12:30, peak time and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. By the time we left, the place was clear. Service was good, and we didn't have to wait for carts, drinks, refills or empty plates to be bussed. The manager (Peter) came and talked to us and gave us a tour and pricing for private parties/private room. You can tell the no expense was spared, no cheap plastic hanging flowers here that you find at just about every new eatery. The owner designed the lighting, which was custom made. Very cool spot! Will definitely be back. read more

We love the new location. It is beautiful! We have been coming to Canton House for a VERY long time. The new location is so much closer to us and is HUGE. We will probably book a room for a family dinner sometime in the future. Peter took the time to show us a few things around since he has been seeing us come to Canton House since he was a teenager. We tried other dim sum places but this remains our favorite. read more

new location...very nice rooms...lots of dim sum with regular menu attentive service

We were disappointed. So sad because we had high hopes. We haven't had dim sum in years. The only dim sum I liked was the little pork riblets. The pan fried noodles were good. Everything else was either too mushy or way overcooked and tasteless. read more

Good dim sum, great service (but we went on a weekday and early for dinner service), beautiful dining hall, and very clean. It was much nicer than in ambiance and service than the doraville location, but the dim sum was just okay. Will have to try again in the brunch hours to see if the quality and variety is better. read more
