Canton Chinese Restaurant: Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Richardson, TX

The menu has extensive Cantonese dishes. Fresh ingredients, generous portions and prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and the dishes came out fast.

Really fantastic Chinese food. Huge menu with familiar favorites as well as a big selection of more authentic dishes. We ordered the whole lobster with ginger and scallion (yum!!), squid/prawns/scallops with Chinese broccoli, crab and shrimp soup, and sweet & sour chicken (surprisingly delicious and fresh tasting!). Surprised to read other reviews about bad service (maybe some of us need to be more understanding of different cultures and that not everyone needs to hover over us all through a meal??) but we found everyone here very welcoming. Our waiter even did the unheard of and told me we might be ordering too much food and recommended cutting a dish, which we did - I got too excited by all the options!) We took my Dad, who grew up in Richardson in the 50s/60s and he swears this restaurant is in the same building that used to house the Dairy Queen where he and his friends would hang out as teenagers! Affordable, delicious and we’ll definitely be back!

This is a very old and traditional Chinese restaurant that’s clearly stood the test of time. Their dishes are packed with authentic flavors and a touch of nostalgia. The orange beef is their famous specialty—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. The salt and pepper shrimp are another standout, lightly dusted and fried just right for that delicate crunch. And the intestine soup is surprisingly comforting—rich, savory, and full of depth. A real local gem for anyone craving classic Chinese comfort food!

Great value, large portions and great food quality. Like the old days of Cantonese restaurants. Cuts of meat are thick, not thin with a thick coating: Orange beef is a steak and sweet and sour pork is pork chops (choice of Beijing style or American). Food was so good my family ate so much and we still had lots of leftovers!

Canton actually used to be one of my usual spots for Chinese cuisine back when I lived in Richardson. This was my first visit in over 20 years, so I am glad to see them still in business and serving the same goodness from decades ago. Service was better than I remember, though there was only one other table at the time. Prices are also very reasonable in addition to being BYOB. Food is decent, however nothing was exceptional compared to the countless other Chinese restaurants which have opened in recent years.

Food is really good but service bit lazy. Had to call server twice to place food order. But food prep time is super quick.

October 2024 We visited this restaurant for a couple of decades. First time leaving a review. Love their flat noodles since it was always wok fried before the sauce. The chicken and shrimp is also my go to dish. Today, they were a little overwhelmed by the lunch crowd. However, they have a strong presence of regular customers. They keep their menu prices competitive. Keep on it. Don’t loose your passion in cooking great food for the community.

It was delicious. Definitely loved the beef noodles, one portion was too much for two people. I had tried lobster with salted eggs served hot and seasoning well, it was around 38$ for that one. I should call 2-3 dishes. Stop by first time read the previous review and gave it a try. Worth the time and experience.
