I made my first visit to Canton last night (meal for one, lockdown and all that... and ordered my usual Chinese meal prawn toast to start and chicken chow mein as my, well, main! I ordered for collection and it was ready when I got there. I tend to find that whenever I order the above from anywhere, nowhere gets them both right. If the prawn toast is nice, the chow mein fails, or vice versa. But canton got them both spot on! So in terms of taste, I have no complaints. In terms of price, though, I have one minor issue. And it 's not as simple as saying it was expensive . The portion sizes were huge, which would suggest value for money isn 't too bad. But when I order a starter, I expect to be...
Cannot fault the food, it's very tasty and fresh, portion size is good, service is polite and friendly, Shop is clean. The only fault with the Canton is the prices. Its very expensive when compared to another, equally nice Chinese takeaway just down the road.

Thought we would give it a go due to the feedback and dissatisfaction with other Chinese takeaways in the area. Service was efficiently done by a cheerful lady.

Seriously it was really tough and ruined what was otherwise a nice tasting meal. I may give it another go at some point, although won’t be rushing back and I will make sure I get a chicken dish when I do.
I have been going to this Chinese takeaway for a number of years and I can honestly say that you will not get a better takeaway anywhere else. Fantastic food, fantastic service and great value for money.

Ordered Salt Pepper Chips with extra chillies and wow, they were amazing, also ordered special fried rice and it was a huge portion, very tasty indeed, will be trying more of their menu soon I hope.
Probably the best Chinese around. I revisited after 7 years as I moved out of the area and it's still just as amazing! Same owners too, always great service!
