    Visited on Wednesday for lunch with my family. Excellent food (refer to photos), great intimate family ambience (although space is limited) and staff that are outstandingly friendly. So let’s break it down: Ordered: Mongolian lamb, black bean beef, sweet chilli prawns, special fried rice and steamed rice (Water for drinks) Cost pp: Approx $27.00. (Very reasonable for 3 mains, SFR and steamed rice) Ambience: small family type restaurant; definitely book ahead for a table, they are limited. But when you are in there, the experience is homely and welcoming. Certainly a testament to all the business cards on the wall. Be sure to take some time to appreciate the art work on the walls. Customer Service: Couldn’t really ask for more, our service person was really friendly and excellent with their service skills - I’m a chopstick person but was offered cutlery, which is always a nice courtesy. Food was prepared and delivered to the table within about 10 minutes of ordering; we were checked on throughout the meal and asked after the lunch when finished. On a personal note, we had a nice visit and chat from the owner, which really added to the welcome and feel of the place. Excellent. Food: (refer to pictures) as most would have had these dishes before, I will simply say that they were delicious and the meat and seafood were cooked perfectly! Plus the prawn size were generous for the cost. Well done! Overall, this place is worth its weight in gold and certainly recommend to everyone! Whether a friendly dine-in (if available) or pick up take away, it will be an excellent dinner!

    Flavour seriously lacking in the dishes we ordered. Staff are welcoming and this place was super busy the night I was here. Recommend you employe an experienced chef that also knows how to cook Asian food, to capitalise on your location and customer base.

    Pleasantly surprised at this tugged away gem in Queanbeyan! We went to Canton Chinese/Malaysia Restaurant under the invitation from a friend who have been there a few times, and they said i must try their Laksa. We have decided to ordered a few dishes to enable us to share and try them out. Prior to that we were greeted very warmly and welcome by one of the owner's son. Chinese tea were served to us promptly whilst we gazed at the many mouth watering dishes offered, on top of it, there was also a blackboard specials of the day. When it was time to order, the owner came to take our orders and suggested and asked us what our preferences are and whether we like the food very spicy or medium or mild. We went for "medium" to be "safe". We had curry chicken, which was very smooth with the coconut cream and the fragrance of lemon grass and turmeric - just the way i like it! We also ordered paratha to go with the curry. These were God sent!! It was very fresh, not oily and very fluffy and so light. Order 2 serves but we later order another 2 pieces as it was so-so good!! Need i say more!! Next our order of spicy salt and pepper pork chops. I noticed firstly that it was a generous serves compared to recent establishments, and that was great for a cold Saturday afternoon! The chops in bite sized, were seasoned and tender. I five spices and pepper were not overly enhancing. I would say, just right for us. The spring onions and fresh chilli enhanced the dish to its "wow" factor. they were fried slightly golden brown. One cannot go to a Malaysian restaurant without ordering the Chau-ku-tau". Rice noodles fried with dark soya sauce with a generous helping of medium sized prawns, beef, bean curd and generous helping of bean shoots. Just great and the chilli oil that came with it made it a great combination. Then the dish i was very much looking forward to, Combination Laksa. Big bowl of noodles and a huge topping of mixed goodies - bean curd, prawns, chicken meat, fried bean curd cubes and some greens. These were all top with a bounty of fresh bean shoots and chilli. What makes a great laksa boils down to the soup! Man, the aroma then the waiter put the bowl in front of me was...amazing!! I dug in and as they say, "the rest is/was history"!! I reckon its one of the best laksa i tasted in Australia, and it felt and tasted like eating it in Malaysia! Seriously, you have to taste it yourself to believe it!! We had after dinner mint after the meal and we could eat any dessert - that will have to be another visit! Did i mention we were were given a large plate of freshly fried prawn crackers as we settle down with tea on our arrival? It was a Saturday morning and we went in soon after they opened their door at 12, But come 20 minutes later, the restaurant was full!! I think all 8 tables, i think. I didn't count as i was busy eating, sorry!! The décor was decorated "busy" with lanterns/ coloured lights and others. But there were a wide variety of oil painting on the walls, for sale,. I fancy a few of them and would consider them to be worthy of hanging in any walls. On one side of the wall were lots of business cards, all stuck on the wall neatly, so if you needed a service/tradies etc. of some kind, you may find one there. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault them, not that there was anything wrong of to complaint. And the best part, after consuming the food (there were left overs and they were put into a doggy bag), the bill came and i almost fall off the chair, literally speaking. It was just under $110. More than enough food, with left overs, for 5 hungry adults!! We will be back!!

    I ordered takeaway on Friday night. Over an hour to be delivered which was fine, but then I found a black hair AND A PIECE OF METAL in my food. I’ve never had anything like this happen before with Canton but I don’t think I’ll be ordering from here again..

    Really great food. The pepper beef was outstanding, great flavour. Very tender, hot and peppery. The lemongrass prawns were tasty and plump. We had the mixed entree which seemed to be homemade and a lot better than most other places. The clear chicken mushroom soup was soothing and tasty. The flaming deep fried icecream was a crack up too. Great service and friendly staff will be back 👍🏼

    I have been to this restaurant a few times, the first couple were great, I was never more impressed with a Chinese restaurant before this, they served amazing food and delivered amazing service. Over time however, the food lowered in quality and quantity and the prices stayed the same. At times it was like a got a bowl of water with some food mistakenly thrown in. Such as shame I won't be back as it uses to be some of the best Chinese food in town

    Cozy restaurant with great service,I personally think there lemon chicken with fried rice is absolutely delicious and an ample serve. If you eat like a sparrow ,one serve for 2 people is a good feed!!! Definitely worth stopping there!!

    This place was terrible. I ordered two takeaway items and some snack and was told it would be ready in one hour. Unfortunately, I had already paid. I went back after 1 hr and the order was not ready. The staff were arguing among themselves about it and how the order was not done etc and then was told to wait again. After another 15mns I got the order and went to the hotel to find out that rice was missing. Had go back to get it again. Then I found that the food was tasteless and was just like water. Threw away the food. The biggest mistake to decide to eat from this place.
