After reading some reviews, I decided to give Canton Restaurant a try. Overall, it's no different than many other Chinese restaurants nearby. The positives: 1) Canto gives you a lot of food. The dinner for one is a really great deal. It comes with egg drop soup, egg roll, scoop of fried rice, chicken fritters chicken, and chicken chow mein. 2) The service was really good at Canto. It's not too busy and the server will talk to you, friendly personality. The negatives: 1) It's really dark inside like a steakhouse. 2) The food taste no differently than any other Chinese restaurants. The best item was the chicken fritters. Everything else was average. This was a pretty cheap eat. I could not finish in one seating and took leftovers for dinner. Overall, about 3.5 stars. read more

Overpriced. Rude. Not your "memories" of the old Canton - they just butchered the reputation and left piles of broken booth seating in their parking lot to tell you "STAY AWAY". Trash spot - save your hard earned money. read more

This IS NOT the Canton we all loved and supported. This is now something entirely different capitalizing on the location and name with a totally different menu and food. Canton Seafood IS NOT Canton Chinese. read more

Wanted to love it based off past reviews, but quickly understood that they were based off the previous owners not the ones currently. There were roaches.... It did not feel clean at all. read more

I finally decided to see what remains of our beloved Canton restaurant. Sadly, the only thing this restaurant has in common with the 5 star restaurant that was there for over 40 years is the location and the name. I'm attaching a picture of their sweet and sour chicken. For anyone who remembers the Hawaii Guy, you'll know this is not in the same universe. I looked on the menu for the pork fried rice and it's no longer offered. When they sold this place to the new owner, recipes were not included. I ordered water to keep lunch cost reasonable and received a bottle of water over a glass of ice that I was charged for. It seems empty, dark, and dirty. I reached for soy sauce and my hand stuck to the glass. Filthy. Door to enter was grimy. Asked for hot mustard and received two packets of hot dog mustard. From 5 stars to 1. Don't even bother. You're welcome. read more

Canton Seafood - NOT Hawaii Guy - Chinese Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Amazing food! I have been going to Canton's for twenty five years and have never been disapointed. It has a classic Chinese restaurant vibe from the décor to the family style servings. Tho like most ethnic food restraunts it Americanized it food to get us Okies to eat it, any given night will have a good percentage of Chinese patrons, so it's not to far off. Overall, if you like family run hole in the wall establishments that have withstood the test of time you will love Canton's read more

Been going here for over 40 years same family has owned it The Egg rolls are amazing, great and unparalleled across the nation everything else is just good Chinese food Different than any Chinese food I've ever had but good read more

The Hawaii Guy (sweet & sour chicken) is the best I think I've ever had and not covered in way too much unnecessary batter like all the other places. The Chicken Low Mein is good too. Great "fresh" egg rolls as well, other places seem to precook their egg roles, you can tell because they're not crunchy and just warm. Not at Canton, they cook them to order and they're very hot and crunchy like they should be. The soup is hot (as it should be) and not just warm like a lot of other places. The people who took it over from the original owners pretty much kept it the same. The place could use some updates and some background music but it serves its purpose just fine. Great Food, I've become a regular again read more

I used to eat here years ago...it's been a long time. My sister told me I need to try it. So, I did, and I wasn't disappointed. First, they are so friendly and kind! Very helpful and welcoming! Let me start by saying I am weird about meat. They have the best meat at a Chinese restaurant I have had. The Hawaiian chicken is all white meat, it's real white meat. It is fried perfectly crispy. I can't really explain, except say, you need to try it. You may need to order a second side of rice, I do feel the the rice was a small amount. I do t think anything has changed in here since I was a kid. It's kind of dark, same booths. I picked up to go, so can't say much about eating in, but it's great to go. They are fast, friendly, and you should try it soon! Yummy! read more

Great Chinese food. Enjoy the Hawaii Guy as my favorite the lo mien is bomb, garlic fry tier chicken is tasty as well.

Decided to try this place out as it came recommended. We ordered our usual entrees-- broccoli beef, sesame chicken, wonton soup, and egg rolls. Overall the restaurant seems like a little hole in a wall and definitely was busy. Unfortunately, the food wasn't so great. The noodles in the wonton soup had an odd texture like they had been flash fried. The broth had very little flavor and lacked any seasoning. The egg rolls were tasty however I have had much more flavorful rolls elsewhere. The egg fried rice was cooked nicely, but again was missing seasoning. The broccoli beef was tough and had a weird after taste to it. We ordered the Beef Lo Mein, but what was delivered was like a veggie lo mein with a couple strips of tough beef. The plate had a ton of cabbage! So much that it seemed more like a cabbage dish than a noodle dish. The only reason I'm giving this place 3/5 stars is because of the sesame chicken! It was the right proportion of chicken to crispy batter and the sauce was fantastic! I wish the rest of the food was tasty! read more

Been eating here for 45+ years and has never disappointed!!! Great egg rolls, garlic fritter chicken......well, everything is great lol.

Been coming here for 40 years and it's OKC's best by far. The egg fried rice!!! Egg rolls!!! Everything is delicious and the service is always great. read more

First time eating here but I'm a Yelper so I gave it a try. Not much to look at from the outside but these dive/hole in the walls are my jam. I walked in and was the only person there at noon. A little concerned but I carried on. Inside kind of matched the outside. Nothing fancy and eerily quiet since I was the only person. Got an egg roll and rangoons. Nice and crispy on both and freshly made. Super good. If you like spicy mustard, theirs will clean your sinuses right up. Had the beef hunan and perfect spice. Fried rice was moist and fluffy. By the time I left, a few other tables had come in also. This time s a hidden gem. Give it a try. read more

I checked out a lot of Chinese food restaurants on Yelp and Google before choosing this one. We had one single day in OKC, so we wanted to make sure we got the best AFFORDABLE lunch we could. Of course, places like Pei Wei are good, but they are too expensive, and we always prefer to eat at independent restaurants, not chains, when possible. That said, the food was fine, but not any better than local take-out places we patronize in our home town. Too bad, because we were hoping to find a go-to place in OKC for the 2-3 times we visit each year. We had the egg rolls, egg drop soup, Hawaiian Guy (sweet and sour chicken with pineapple), chicken chow mein and pepper beef. All acceptable, but nothing special. Mainly, the egg rolls were overcooked, chicken was dry, soup was almost flavorless, and the chow mein was bland. read more

This is our favorite go to for Chinese! It's nothing fancy, but service is great and the food is awesome! We love the chicken almonding. Their egg rolls are delicious. Chow mean is delicious too! We have never had anything bad! read more

I've been eating here my entire life (and my parents and grandparents have even longer)! Canton has always and will always be the best Chinese food in Oklahoma, and the best eggrolls anywhere, ever. Ngl, I labored in their restaurant bc the hospital told me to go eat and come back to have the baby. They're amazing, love the food, love them. read more

I am shaken to my core. Never have I had such a riveting experience in a restaurant. The sesame chicken is a typical dish for most Chinese restaurants, but this was out of the ordinary. The sweet sauce complimented by a hint of chili spice topped with sesame seeds all while complimenting the crisp crunch of the freshly made chicken. I thought my wait for my food was a bit long until I realized what I was eating. It was art. But not just any art, a masterpiece. Every bite like a storm of rain falling all around you without getting wet. Like jumping chest first down a waterfall but never worrying about hitting the bottom. Free of any burden and simply living in the moment you are given. Some days are like others filled with monotony and are lackluster, but today I walked away from my meal with a twinkle in my eye and a pep in my step. I walked away better than I was before, all thanks to this blessed sesame chicken. I write this message with urgency and truth, may everyone feel as though I have eating from this amazing restaurant. Thank you Canton, I am forever yours read more

Hard to find great Chinese food that's convenient to get. Friend told us about here. A must were the egg rolls (real peanut butter) and the Hawaii Guy. Egg rolls were fabulous! Didn't order the HG.....this time. Had egg drop and wonton soup, garlic chicken and Hal Gal Kew and ALL just awesome. Next time maybe the HG, maybe not. They have a great menu, lunch too so who knows. Hostess was great! Thanks! See you soon! read more

Cindy and her husband are doing such a wonderful job. The food is great and just as wonderful as it always was. Cindy was especially sweet to my 15 year old daughter and made her birthday so special. Thanks so much. We will be back, Nikki+ Chris Purcell read more

Cantons has been around forever! I love their egg rolls more than anywhere else although jack in the box (yes I said jack In the box) comes in up there with canton egg roles. I love their fried jumbo shrimp(they are jumbo). I usually get the Hawaii guy. I also enjoy their cashew chicken. If I'm in the mood for Chinese this usually my go to. read more

Best Chinese food in the world. One time I flew in from San Francisco, they have china town there. It's like the most Chinese you can get in America! We're talking Chinese food for days and I had quite a lot from the top places in town! And you know what? They didn't even come close to this place. After I landed back in okc I drove from will Rogers straight to cantons to get some quality Chinese food because nothing in China town in San Fran was comparable to cantons read more

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had!! The best egg rolls, the filling is cooked completely throughout and the wrap is crunchy! All homemade! I always get the Hawaii guy (kinda like sweet n sour) and shrimp fried rice. The Hawaii guy sauce and the sweet n sour for the egg rolls is homemade as well, you won't find this this sauce anywhere else and it's amazing. I also love the garlic chicken and egg drop soup! My family has been going here since my granny moved to OKC (70's or so) and I hear the same story from someone almost every time I stop by. You can't eat here only once, you'll get hooked! read more

My favorite Chinese-American restaurant is Mandarin in Del City. The point of that is: This is the closest place I've been to in the OKC area where I live that is similar to Mandarin. Not exactly, but fairly close. They actually fritter their garlic chicken instead of drowning it in sauce. I just... thank you. Combination Platter B: -Egg Drop Soup 3/5: The broth could use a bit more flavor but it's a nice light soup with just the right amount of egg in it. -Egg Roll 3/5: A good crispy eggroll. I may not order it on its own unless I was really craving an eggroll but it's not bad at all. -Sweet & Sour Pork 4/5: So crispy and tender! The sauce is great. None of that yellow chicken with pink sweet and sour. There are already pictures of it on this page, so refer to there. Egg Fried Rice 3/5: Not my favorite rice. It was improved with just a bit of the sweet and sour sauce from my pork, though. From pictures on the page, I have a feeling they can do better so I will probably order their fried rice again to see! read more

Great food! No thrills, delicious. Fast service! Good eggrolls. Cute takeout boxes. Cashew chicken was delicious. Loved the vegetable lo mein. read more

I absolutely adore this place! Best egg rolls I have ever had from San Francisco to New York and beyond. I live everything's here, From the sweet family that runs it all the way to the best chicken chow mien and sweet and sour chicken you will probably ever have! The sauces are homemade, not canned. Their egg drop soup is excellent, homemade not just heat and serve. Like others state they haven't updated ever so it's basically a mid century gem inside. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Their Garlic Chicken is the best I've had! I love their egg rolls. All of the food I've eaten at Canton has been very tasty and well prepared. The waitstaff and owner are all nice. I love the fact they use the traditional cardboard to-go boxes and don't use styrofoam. read more

This place doesn't look like much.. and if you haven't been in you may be scared to try it... but I have been coming here for over 30 years and nothing has changed. In my opinion this is the best Chinese food anywhere. My brother drives from Edmond to meet me here and eat often. The staff is always friendly and quick. My favorites are the Hawaii guy chicken with egg fried rice, their egg drop soup (very different - clear and thin) egg rolls (amazing), and their chicken chow mein is great. Can't go wrong, I hope this place keeps doing its thing for another 30 years. read more

I've not been here since 2000, and let me tell you, it's even better than I recall. The employees are nice, food is tremendous, truly a gem of an establishment. I am making a conscious effort to come frequently. The fried butterfly shrimp is unparalleled as are their egg rolls. read more

Great place. We have never been to Canton physically, but we have heard great things about the food. We finally ordered delivery. Food was very tasty. Food was hot upon arrival. I had chicken with peanuts, sweet and sour chicken , egg rolls, fried wantons and steamed rice. All were yummy. read more

I've been enjoying Canton's food since I was a child. It is my favorite Chinese food. Delicious food, wonderful staff, and good prices!

Best Chinese food in Oklahoma. The egg rolls are addictive, the sweet and sour pork is old-school Oklahoma City style, and the soups and main dishes are superb. This is a family-run, 1970s OKC Chinese restaurant. There were several like it (August Moon, Ouy Lin, Ding Ho, Chiam), and this is the last one. If you grew up in OKC in the 70s and 80s, this place will take you back in time, in a good way. It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but it's clean, friendly, and delicious. Give these good folks your business, they deserve it and have earned it. And, go ahead and order the extra egg rolls, you're gonna want more anyways. read more

We were looking for a different place to order takeout Chinese food. Saw this on yelp and decided to give it a try. Nice flavor to egg drop soup. Very light. Egg roll was very crispy and the sauce for egg roll was wonderful. Not a super sweet red sauce. Chicken sweet and sour was a pleasant taste. Real chicken was obviously used! Had tomatoes and pineapple in it and no crunchy onions. Outside is worn out but food is good! read more
