Don't sleep on this gem! Their brandy fried chicken is bomb and worth a trip to this take-out only spot. We ordered the Hong Kong style noodles, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, mixed veggies, fried chicken and won ton soup. Their portions are a great value- between the four of us, we had enough for dinner plus leftovers. I loved the sweet and sour chicken, brandy fried chicken, fried rice and veggies but everything was fire. The staff is personable and attentive (they currently have takeout only). There is free parking in the lot they share with the business next store. Thanks! read more

It's a hidden gem. I usually get their Wor Wonton Noodle Soup. I like the soup since it's not salty and does not have MSG like most places. I thought this place was a Panda Express until Alex told me to try their Hong Kong style Pan Fried Noodles. I will be back to try different dishes. Eric and Alex have been running the restaurant for over 40 years. I can tell they have the passion and love to serve their customers. read more

Old and stale brandy fried chicken. It's a hole in the wall togo chinese food. It's been awhile since last trip and wanted to give another chance sine reviews were positive. Very disappointed. Chicken was oily. The meat was stringy which seems refried from an old batch that's been sitting awhile. SORRY DUDES, but I gotta be honest. read more

Fantastic Traditional Chinese Food! SITREP I am so loving Asian & Pacific Islander Month because it's given me more focus on Asian cuisine and checking out more Asian restaurants. On this occasion my friend Annie and I checked out the much touted traditional Chinese spot: Canton Restaurant ("Canton"). THE SETUP Located on 47th Avenue, Canton is the absolutely delicious "Hole-In-The-Wall" (by definition!) and it touts a fantastic menu. Very reasonably priced, it reminds me of an old school "Drive-In" version of a restaurant: people pull into the large gravel parking lot, and they either have their to-go order already waiting for them, or they actually order in the lot. And in a very reasonable time, the to-go order is brought out, they pay for it, and the restaurant is kind enough to put the meal-to-go in a stable cardboard box to take home. LE MENU We did an array of yummies: * Coconut Shrimp * Shrimp *& Vegetable Chow Mein * Sauteed Greens * Peppered Chicken Wings * Sodas and Tea Each dish was delicious and SO FILLING! THE LOWDOWN You have to come check out the best Chinese Food in South Sacramento! read more

I decided to try Canton after seeing it featured in an Instagram video. There is no indoor seating, it is just pick up. The first time, I ordered the sweet and sour, and honestly, I thought it was just okay--I've definitely had better. However, I absolutely love their veggie plate. The vegetables are incredibly flavorful, and I could eat them all the time. My husband and I also get their fried chicken, which is so perfectly crunchy. While the prices aren't as inexpensive as you might expect for a spot on 47th, the portion sizes are huge and totally worth it. read more

On a rainy afternoon, my appetite rose and I decided to treat myself to some pork chow fun at Canton Restaurant on 47th. These days, all orders are for "to-go" here. It was not my first time there. To the uninitiated, the restaurant front doesn't look like much. I get them not wanting to put much into decorations in a sketchy neighborhood where so much gets vandalized. People still come here for their take-out Chinese food because it tastes good and the price is reasonable. A $13 chow fun order will get you enough food for 2 meals for. moderate eater. Not like these newer ramen places that charge nearly $20 and you get only enough food for a single meal. I made sure to order the chow fun dry-cooked (I don't like my noodles dripping). After not a very long wait, my order was brought to my car, and I was off to return home and dig into the dish. There's a generous serving inside the bag along with a nice big napkin and plastic fork. I noted that they'd include a piece of cardboard under the clamshell so it would "sit" flatter in the bag...this was much appreciated! Food was delicious! Lots of bean sprouts! Lots of yum. This really hit the spot. The seasoning was spot-on...not overly salty. read more

A hole in the wall, takeout only place, but reasonably priced and large portions. They accommodated my request to have vegetable chow mein and fried rice with my combo instead of pork. I called in my order, and it was hot and ready when I arrived, about 10 minutes or so. Check em out if you're in the area and want some good Chinese takeout! read more

I had the pleasure of trying their ginger beef and wonton soup the wonton soup was therapeutic and nostalgic it was made exactly how one would remember as for the ginger beef it added a great level of spice without the need to make it spicy it was intense yet subtle at the same time I look forward to trying the rest of his venue read more

Hella legit Chinese food, family-owned very friendly service. Got the housemade chili oil sauce. I love spicy foods. Get the beef chow fun, fried rice, chowmein, can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Food comes out fast and hot. I would've never stumbled upon this place if not for the locals. Now that there's indoor dining, can't wait to come back and gather with friends. Chinese New Year is around the corner, time to celebrate big for Year of the Dragon!

My favorite place for great Chinese food. Getting harder all the time to find Cantonese style food. Their food gives memories of how it used to be in the '50's. I have to drive about 50 miles to eat here, and never regret it. There is no longer dining inside, however arrangements can be made to eat outside. Always a treat to eat here! read more

Cantonese is my favorite genre of Chinese food. I ordered the basics. The chowmein here is exactly what chowmein is supposed to taste like, soo good. The fried rice was very good. The egg roll was different than any I have had. There was a particular spice in there that I enjoyed, but would not be common to the American pallet. It is take out only. I will goo back to try some of the other specialties that were recommended to me. read more

My favorite place to get Ginger Beef over rice. It's always delicious and love that they give you lots of gravy.

Yummy! I completely understand why two dudes pulled up here just to order two eggrolls and then peace out the last time I was here waiting outside for my order. The eggrolls are just that delicious, and the biggest I have ever seen in my life. Don't let that fall on your foot, as my Grandpa would have said. They're also vegetarian! Woot woot! The menu has a dedicated vegetarian section, and several things can be made vegan upon request. I ordered orange tofu and eggrolls, and both were fantastic. You also get a ton of food so you'll have three meals at least in one, and for that price? Are they serious? I would absolutely order the orange tofu and eggrolls again, but I also want to try the different kinds of tofu dishes that they have available in the not too distant future. The guy who took our order was very kind and was the one who told me about the vegan mods if I wanted them. They do not have dine in yet in these trying times, so you'll have to either call ahead to order, or pull up, order outside, then wait for your food. There is a little shade so it isn't terrible on a hot day, and the wait is hardly anything at all. I think we waited 15 minutes once we had ordered. The parking lot looks mostly deserted but it is open during the posted hours on Yelp that I did check and see were up to date. There is plenty of room to park in the lot. Bathroom Report: Unavailable Vegan Corner: Not marked on menu, but many items can be made vegan upon request. Vegetarian section is clearly marked. read more

Canton Restaurant - Broccoli beef combo plate - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great food. War wonton soup is Never a bad choice. Fried rice is in abundance too. Definitely will have left overs.

Straight to the point .... The food was good! Hot! Took about 10-13 minutes and was presented to me. The portions were large & satisfying ! I was able to eat some for lunch and dinner! Got general chicken combination plate with pork fried rice and chow mein. Don't let the look of the place determine if you should give it a try. They are polite and love to service the community. I will be back for more!! read more

I've been coming here for a while. Amazing owner, food is legit for sure and I'll keep coming back... This place is underrated definitely..... read more

Me and my boyfriend were so excited to give this place a try, as we seen the review on IG. We went today and were so disappointed, nothing we ordered was good. The sweet and sour pork had a horrible taste , the meat was so gross I threw it up, the egg rolls were so disgusting, everything was gross . Don't be scammed by the supposedly good reviews. Maybe years ago it was good but it's not worth the try, Don't recommend this place at all. read more

Great food and good Price. No Dine in option. Service is quick too. Prices not updated online. Friendly service

Been going here for 30 years. My kids have grown up on the food and love it. It's our go to comfort food spot

Great food and service. Best Chinese food in the area. Orange chicken and general chicken is lit! Everything is fire actually! Place don't miss with the Chinese food cravings. read more

We went here on a rainy day. The service was friendly and very efficient. The food tasted great and more importantly affordable! It's pretty tough finding good food that doesn't break the bank these days. They have a solid selection of items. Would recommend the fried chicken, it was well seasoned and stayed crispy through dinner time. We also got the fried rice and chowmein. Glad businesses like these are still around. read more

Ive got food here a couple times. The I've ordered chow Mein, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and Brandy chicken. The rice and chow Mein was a little on the greasy side nothing too overwhelming I ended up doctoring it up at home and it was tasty. The sweet and sour chicken was decent, but the Brandy chicken is no bueno. The brandy chicken was soaked in grease and even used Hell of paper towels to absorb the amount of greasy in the chicken. I took and bite and it was still too greasy for my taste that I ended up tossing it. Yuck! I would still order the other dishes. There are better Chinese food restaurants in Sac this one by far would be at one of the bottom of the list. The location is in a area, I wouldn't be at after dark as the location gives me the creeps. The customer service is always great and the interior is nothing special. This place is a solid 2.75 to 3 star. read more

Pretty solid family owned, Chinese restaurant. Found this place through yelp on a rainy day when we were craving Chinese food. Service has been super friendly the last couple times we came. The first time we came, we were recommended to get the pork wontons, he said they were hella good and they were!! When you come here get EXTRA of their chili oil, THE BEST I've ever had, I want to bring some with me to every Asian restaurant I go to now lol read more

I've been here multiple times. Ive had the tofu, orange chicken, chow mien, fried rice. Different days. The food was just all okay. Great Deal overall not expensive. Great portions, but the food itself just isn't something out of the ordinary. At least for what I've had on 3 separate occasions. Good service. You have to wait outside which i have no idea why but it's okay. The area isn't too bad but I've had some ghetto experiences outside but they are pretty quick. read more

Terrible fake food Who use a load of celery ? I threw it out. Ok that should be enough charac

We're so happy with Canton this is our favorite spot for about 30 years maybe a little bit more We miss dining in but continue to order their delicious food Thanks Canton gang Mama Eric Alex forever in our N hearts Henry and Cris read more

I've been going coming here for 30 years. It's been our go to Chinese restaurant for a very long time. Te sauce for the broccoli beef and oyster sauce with beef is perfect. I don't care about msg and they say there's none but it's so good that I have to believe there is some in there. The food always takes 15 minutes and it's now just a pick up restaurant and not a sit down. I'm okay with that. Perfect food to pick up for a movie night read more

I wanted to like this place due to several very good reviews of their Brandy Fried Chicken. I was craving this today and decided to try Canton's along with an order of pork fried rice. Suffice to say, I was disappointed. Both the chicken and the fried rice were a bit too salty for my taste. The cook got a bit too happy with the salt shaker. I wanted to really give Canton a higher rating but not this time. I will try again in the near future and see if they've corrected the salt issue. One can always add salt but not remove. For now Canton only warrants a 2 star rating. I had a hard time finishing one piece of 6. The crispiness is very good. Chicken is cooked well. read more

Food is always amazing and wonderful. It's family owned and have been going here since I was a kid. Very welcoming and friendly.

This is the best! Fried Chicken Broccoli beef with fried tofu Pork chow Wor won ton with noodles. We have been coming here for over 40 years! Great family Takeout. Don't forget your picnic utensils. Have a nice picnic. read more

Okay, a friend suggested this place and was shocked I had never been here. There is no dine in but the service is top notch!!! We ordered by phone and when we pulled up we're greeted promptly by a very friendly man who made you feel like u were a regular off bat. I ordered the broccoli beef with extra gravy , Mongolian beef, house chow mein and orange chicken. Now the brocolli beef was amazing. The brocolli was cooked to perfection and the gravy was very tasty. Would definitely recommend ordering this. I also was pleased with the Mongolian beef, Tasty sauce and smothered with onions and peppers. Orange chicken this day was a little over cooked but will give it another shot next time. Chowmein was good but a tad more flavor WOULDNT hurt it. All and all a must try. I'm excited to try more items on this menu and believe me there is an array to choose from. Sorry no pics we all were hungry and I totally forgot. Will post next visit. read more

Canton Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

A true neighborhood favorite where everyone knows everyone else and walks freely up to eachothers tables to say hello. Definitely a friendly vibe - the employees knew all the customers that walked in and what they liked to order. It was like watching a Chinese restaurant morph into Cheers. Food was delish. I was craving some noodles so I got the shrimp chow mein. Loads of fresh vegetables and juicy shrimp. Speaking of shrimp- the kitchen brought out some spicy shrimps to our table to try. Yum! Flavors are authentic and not bland. And thankfully, not too salty, which is what I usually run into with Chinese food. Quantities are massive, so be prepared to take at least half of your food home. Hot tea here is the best I've had at any Asian restaurant. Hands down. If you're in this neighborhood this place is a must try. read more

We paid around $150 for food. Not worth it! Egg rolls are oily, flavorless and soggy. Fried rice is just white rice with veggies and egg, hardly any soy sauce. The chicken in the chow mein is literally over cooked and lacks flavor. I think this place should not considered themselves fine food. Overall, this place is lacking flavor. The rest of the food is also tasteless, this place needs to improve the food quality. Never ordering here again! read more

Ordered to go prawn hor fun (chow fun). $8.75 plus tax = $9.13. All there are: tiny prawns with a type of green leave vegetable I think bak choy, the chow fun isn't tasty. I suggest going Lollibowl nearby, I've also went there ordered to go with tax $10.72 got item D1 a box of seasoned rice with nice sized beef cubes and mixed vegetables, worth the extra $1.50, definitely look and smell so much yummier! read more
