Is there really anything better than a tried and true dish from a reliable food court eatery? I love eating at food courts with my family as it gives us a chance to sample multiple dishes from different places and still eat together. This was one of those days. My daughter had a craving for ho-fun (stir-fired rice noodle dish), so we opted to sample their beef option. The noodles were beautifully fried with great wok-hei and the velveted beef sliced were tender and easy to eat. The usual addition of green onion, bean sprouts and eggs made for a satisfying addition to our lunch. Overall flavour of the ho-fun was spot on and my daughter was happy. :) We'll be back to sample more of their abundant offerings soon! read more

I was in the plaza grabbing grocery when I realized it was past 1pm. I always wanted to try their signature chicken when they still had a branch at Sheppard x Pharmacy, but never got a chance to do so. I ordered their signature fish sauce chicken rice. For under $10 with a drink, it was definitely a steal! They were very generous with the amount of chicken, and even more generous with the rice. I saved the leftover rice for dinner that night. The chicken was definitely very smooth, just like Hainanese chicken. Hence, I suspected they cooked the chicken using the same technique of submerging it in hot broth. Their ginger - scallion - soy sauce dip was really good too. I will definitely be back to try their other chicken dishes! read more

Canton Kitchen Chartwell - Fish sauce chicken with rice. Milk tea is included in the combo - Imported Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This is good little spot for Chinese take-out, and is quite popular. Be prepared to wait during the weekends! I tried calling my order in once, and it was quite an experience. The call was incredibly rushed, and even though I repeated the order, I received one dish in error. I guess the person who received my baked pork chop on rice enjoyed it immensely ...lol If you end up having to wait for your order, there is a Dollarama in the adjacent plaza. There are plenty of parking spots, but weekends have become busier. * Cash only read more

We picked soup and it was a bit weird tasting and very oil ! read more

This venue is located inside a food court of a Chinese uptown plaza. They serve amazing Cantonese dishes at very reasonable price. The quality surpasses some restaurants and they're speedy with their orders! I would highly recommend trying this venue if you're looking to pick up a few dishes to bring home. Sittings are available with proof of vaccination, but do not expect restaurant atmosphere and service. They will shout your order number once your order is ready. read more

Canton Kitchen Chartwell - Beef with veggies on fresh rice noodles - Imported Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Canton Kitchen is a classic spot across the Scarborough region for quick and easy Cantonese eats. You can find your favourite fried rice, noodles, and dinner options at reasonable prices! The quality is solid considering it is a food court spot compared to their restaurant competitors. There is always a line (whether ordering in-person or calling ahead), so be prepared to wait a bit during the weekends, but the taste is worth the wait. Service is always fast and efficient, so don't expect them to be in a mood to socialize. Your stomach will thank you later! read more

Canton Kitchen Chartwell - Steamed Chicken - Imported Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Ona Saturday afternoon around 11am, I came by thinking I could beat the lunch hour rush. Not a chance! When I got there, the lineup was about 6 people deep and a row of takeout ready for pickup by people who phoned in advance. I shopped around for about 20 mins and by the time I was done I still had to wait another 10 mins. We ordered the Stir fried fish with Bean Curd ($10.75) and Shrimp with Cashew Nuts ($10.75) and it came with a complimentary box of rice. How nice! Although I really wished they'd add more than 7 medium sized shrimps. Price is decent, but I think there are one or two other places to get a better portion size. read more

Lunch Special from $4.50-$5.00 tax in that includes a drink/soup?! I really don't understand how they able to make a profit with this prices. Canton Kitchen is located inside Chartwell Mall's food court and possibly the busiest food stall there. With this price point, no wonder that are so many people ordering from here. Service is fast and efficient. Everything seems to have a system and the cashier might not greet you and chat chit with you. They are here trying to take as many orders as fast as possible, not here to socialize with customers. Even on a busy Saturday lunch rush, it only took 10 minutes for my order to be ready. Will I be back? I will be picking up boxes and boxes of lunch specials to feed some always hungry teenagers. Cash Only. read more

I was trying to figure out which place in this food court to order from, and the long lineups led me here! The menu is quite extensive, but I ordered some favorites to try out - Chicken Fried Rice with Garlic Sauce, Sweet and Sour Pork, Rice Noodles with Beef, and Baked Pork Chop with Cheese Tomato Sauce on Rice. Weekends are very busy, so the wait time was about 25 minutes. The service is very brisk, so it's best to know exactly what you want before you reach the cashier. The food was quite good, and they acknowledged my request for less salt and oil as possible. Prices and portions were reasonable. Parking was surprisingly easy for a weekend. Note that cash is the only accepted form of payment. read more

Canton Kitchen Chartwell - Chicken Fried Rice, S&S Pork, Rice Noodles/Beef, Baked Pork Chop Tomato Sauce on Rice - Imported Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

For many years I have gotten my chinese fast food from Canton kitchen at chartwell. I understand others gave reviews because of poor service. But what do you expect it's a chinese food court not a restaurant. The quick, cheap and delicious. Portions are great. If you pay for a member card, forever you get 10% off your order by paying cash. Today I order the stir fry beef rice noodle. Always on point. Tip: maybe a challenge getting a table in the food court. Always busy at lunch or dinner time. If you are press for time I don't recommend ordering and waiting. You can call in advance and pick up your order too. They have a lot of takeout pick up calls. read more

So glad my family ordered out from here! Canton Kitchen Chartwell offers affordable dishes with loads of flavor. The lady who took our order over the phone was difficult to understand. That was quite frustrating for my Aunt who was trying for almost 15 mins to place an order of 5 dishes. Canton Kitchen is located in a Food Court and they are Unit # 133. You can eat in or call in and pick up your food. They do NOT deliver. They do their best to prepare your food quickly. It's busy here and there aren't a lot of employees. We ordered Fish Sauce Chicken, Mixed Seafood w/ Vegetable, Fish w/ Roasted Pork & Garlic, Beef Slices w/ Vegetable and Stewed Sliced Pork w/ Preserved Vegetable. The dishes came with White Rice. I appreciate that the dishes weren't overly salty, greasy, oily or packed with corn starch. The sauces were light and incredibly flavorful. Meats, fish and vegetables were all tender and juicy. Vegetables were crisp and not bruised. The Stewed Sliced Pork w/ Preserved Vegetable really took me back in time. It's been awhile since I've had this dish. This was one of my dads favorite dishes. They are generous with the serving size. You will definitely get your moneys worth. With ordering difficulties aside, this place makes my mouth water. read more

I can see that this place gets poor reviews due to poor service, but I've coming here for years and haven't had any bad experiences to date. For exactly $23.50 you can get four delicious dishes with a big container of rice, enough to fill up my stomach and three others! This combo (401) consists of soya sauce chicken, deep fried tofu with beef, preserved veggie and shredded pork vermcelli, and finally, an egg dish fried with fish. It's an amazing deal, and I come here with my family whenever we don't feel like cooking a meal at home. My favourite dishes are the egg fried with the little fish (not sure what type of fish is) and the preserved veggie and shredded pork vermicelli. Both dishes pair well with rice and it is so comforting to have on a cold winter day. Overall, the food is simply delicious here and it's a cheap eat! read more

this is my go-to place for Cantonese take out. Always call your order 10 in advance since there is always a lineup Tonight i got salted pepper pork chop 4.5/ 5 , they include some basic veggie that i don't really care for. My second dish was spicy satay beef chow mein.5/5 Excellent taste and execution. Both are very simple dishes but you can taste the difference. Both are decent restaurant quality at food court prices. But like everyone else's prices have gone up a little. read more

Absolutely terrible service. The front staff filled out the orders of 4 people in front of us and prioritized them even though we ordered the same number of dishes. We waited 40 minutes for a veggie and meat plate with them telling us they were cooking our food every 10 minutes. I can usually stand bad service but this was pitiful. Would highly not recommend. read more

ORDER in advance. This place is very busy but worth it (don't compare with a sit-down restaurant it is a food court with prices to match. If you buy a VIP card, you get 10% off your order. these are not the fake busy that the old-timer keep going back to the same place when they were a kid. salt pepper pork chop Cantonese fried noodles they have decent combos. this is the best& busiest location when compared to the on at New Kennedy Square or Silver Star Blvd read more

Worst service ever, some lady just cut in the line and the person talking orders does nothing until I caused a stink and went to the back the line. What pissed me off the most was for some strange reason even after she was told to go to back of the line she got her food before I did. I used to goto queens kitchen which was beside them they were way better but now that they closed these guys don't give a crap anymore Never going back to this place again. read more

Usually, I come here for the pork belly on rice which is pretty good. The last time, I went there with the same dish in mind. As usual, I ordered it. Waited for my dish but never came. There was one dish that sat on the counter which nobody was picking up. I asked the long haired lady behind the counter if this was mine. She gave me this bewildered looked and said yes. I told her that wasn't what I ordered. She said it was and that I did not order pork belly. I told her that she may have heard wrong because I would not have known how to order the dish that was out in front of me. She said that's what I ordered, turned her head and said "sorry" in a sarcastic tone while walking away from me. Is this a way to treat a customer? Let alone someone who regularly frequents their stall. The dish ended up being good, but with the plethora of options in their food court and around the Scarborough/Markham/Richmond Hill area, I have plenty of choices that I would never need to come back. Your food is good, but your attitude kills. Sorry, but I've moved on. read more

Had the preserved veggie and shredded pork vermicelli. Came to $5 and a bit after tax. Not bad. Lots of vermicelli. Not bad on the pork or the preserved veggie, but I have yet to find a place that does exceedingly well in terms of the portions on the pork or veg. I wish the broth had more flavor, or something. Very bland, unless you get a bite of the preserved veggie. When I asked for an extra bowl (in Cantonese), the lady frowned at me, but gave one to me anyways. Perhaps there's an extra charge ($0.25) written in Chinese that I don't know about? read more

If possible, I would rate this/these restaurant(s) zero stars. Yes, their food is priced reasonably but the quality of food is mediocre at best. However, I strongly encourage you to rethink putting your money towards this restaurant/the 3 that are named 'Canton' because they aren't as great as they seem. I know of many past employees whom have quit because the owners are simply mean people. There are many stories floating around about them disrespecting their employees (ex. name calling and verbally degrading their employees on and off scene/work hours). My friends and I used to into the Chartwell plaza when we were in the area for some fast chinese food and Canton Kitchen was our pick despite the poor customer service they gave. However, most of the time when the female 'owner' (not sure of her name but she has these big glasses) was there, my friends and I would hear her insulting her employees in Cantonese. My Cantonese isn't the best but I know enough to understand that they were insults (ex. calling them rats/lazy or slow pigs). I also know past employees have also told others about this so it's definitely known around the Chartwell area. The Canton chains have also had their fair share of sketchy stories but I'll leave that out of the review. So to recap, I know the food is cheap and is 'pretty good' based off of the reviews on here but please PLEASE think twice about putting your money into a business that's owned by people who view their employees, the people who essentially hold their business together, as pigs, rats and other degrading names. Yes, maybe that's just 'the way it is' or is 'the Chinese culture' but that's just not right. I wouldn't want my employer to call me a slow and lazy rat and I'm sure those reading this review wouldn't either. Take your money elsewhere because there are many other food businesses in that plaza that are more deserving of your money than they are. read more
