Canton Inn

This has been some of the Chinese food I have ever had. Every order is delicious and freshly made. The couple who run this restaurant are just adorable, and always make you smile. The restaurant needs an update, so that’s why I can’t give them a full five stars. I would give it five stars for carryout. I would highly recommend this place. Ask for the Singapore noodles.

I have eaten here my whole life & my family before that over 40yrs. They have never changed the inside or outside but the food is always good & abundant portions. The original owner no longer cooks I believe he passed away in the last 2yrs so now his son is cooking. With time & experience I believe the cooking will be back up to the Dads 5 star quality!!! Please stop in & enjoy! Love the almond chicken, fried rice, pepper steak & egg foo young.

On the hunt for a good Chinese place in the area; gave this place a shot and I’m sorry that I did.
The food was super greasy and the General Tso’s Chicken was swimming in a pool of what appeared to be motor oil. The egg rolls were likely frozen, and the filling was chewy and tasted like ramen. I didn’t even touch the rice.
Short of remarkable… by a long shot!

Decent Chinese food here! I used to love the Canton Inn, the food isn’t as good as it used to be but it is still a great place to grab a carry out. The portions are sized right and everything is fresh.

The sweet and sour pork here was pretty good but I’m afraid my visit went sour fast.
To be totally honest, I thought the food was pretty good, though I was in the mood for the very Americanized dishes so I can’t say I ate «authentic» Chinese but hey. Sometimes you just have an itch for sweet and sour. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The product was on par with most any other Chinese joint.
It was when the meal was over that things took a nosedive. We were initially somewhat annoyed when my fiancée (who was dressed in scrubs) was told that she was «too young to be a nurse» and then asked why she was wearing scrubs. For the record, she’s a doctor as of this coming June. No big deal. You learn to shrug your shoulders at everyone who assumes female+scrubs=nurse.
Then we were forced to sit through an extremely awkward conversation about the area and why it’s not as nice as it used to be. Since we were the only people in the restaurant at the time and are both white, our waitress figured we were interested in her theories on «those people» and why they act «that way.»
We were both scrambling for the door by the time we got our bill paid.

Chinese Buffets aside, this is, hands down, my most favorite Chinese restaurant on the planet.
And it doesn’t look like much from the outside — actually, it’s rather cheesy, like they haven’t changed the décor in 30 years (and supposedly, that’s true.) But like many things, looks can be deceiving.
They have awesome dinner deals. You can get soup, an egg roll, a huge plate of your main dish plus fried rice, drink or tea, and an ice cream desert. Keep in mind this is between $ 7 – 15 depending on what you get. wow!
They have their own blend of sweet and sour, and I’ve had a LOT of sweet and sour around town and beyond, and I’ve never tasted anything like it. That, and the fact that they don’t serve reheated frozen eggrolls, but their own handmade rolls plus this special sauce is a big big draw for me.
As far as main dishes, I’d recommend the almond chicken, the pepper steak, or the lo mein. Keep in mind that with all that food, you’ll most likely not finish it all and will have lunch the next day!
Lana has run this place for as long as I can remember. She’s a such a sweetheart — you can’t help but feel like it’s what a real family owned restaurant of any style should be like.
