Nice reasonably priced food ,fast delivery

Really gone downhill.. just threw my food in the bin 🤢

Wonderful food and happy service

Very efficient service. Very pleasant staff. Very tasty food. All a fair price . *****

Lovely food although duck chow mein wasn’t very appetising. Woman over the phone and over the counter is very rude, she needs to learn better customer service and learn how to smile or look like she actually likes her shop/job.

Ordered Crispy shredded beef, which was literally all hard batter. I struggled to find any beef, not only in the taste, but within the texture. It was definitely all warmed up from an old portion. Also ordered a portion of Young Chow fried rice. All fried rice when freshly fried is golden in colour and not the extremely deep brown that we received. It’s easy to see in the picture that this is definitely not freshly fried. The colour is a massive indicator that this was fried rice that has been warmed up numerous times. Hardly any meat or prawns in the rice, but there was plenty of peas. However, at these prices peas just don’t cut it as a substitute for chicken, prawns or pork, all of which I would expect to see in any good version of Young Chow fried rice. My daughter had a couple of other dishes from this takeaway, which were also very disappointing, and it’s not worth the time to explain how poorly executed they also were. Overall, an unpleasant, and expensive experience from this Chinese takeaway which we shall not be repeating. It always flabbergasts, and annoys me that establishments are unable to provide a satisfactory product. It’s not as if I’m asking them to do something that they’re not used to doing, surely it’s not that difficult to make fresh goods using minimal ingredients quickly. But unfortunately this takeaway is not alone in providing sub standard quality food.

1st time customer, food dreadful, went in the bin. £28 wasted.

1st visit since new owners have taken over and last visit ordered crispy shredded beef in carrot n chilli was crispy and burnt to a crisp tasted charred could not finish meal. Special curry bad hardly any meat in no mushrooms but usual plenty of onions chips with it all dried up. Never again

Very nice food and fairly cheap prices. Very pleasant staff

My new favourite Chinese (Cantonese) takeaway. Friendly staff quick service and reasonably priced Recommended

great food and very nice people

Very different tasting Chinese food - not the usual fare - but really excellent flavours. We ordered many dishes and everything was amazing.

Vile greasy food, found two long hairs in separate meals wants shutting down

Meat tasted funny, each of us had a hair in our different meals, chips soggy, probably the worst Chinese I have ate

Absolutely disgusting.... had special curry and the meat was vile. Had a funny taste to it, rice was very over cooked. Will wait till fortune House opens back up next time

Have been ordering from here for 20+ years and it’s always a great meal. Even since the change of owner recently the food and service is as nice as always. Thank you.

Couldn't give it less than one star or would, ordered crispy shredded chicken, chicken was just mush and so was batter very soggy, wouldn't recommend

We have ordered from here for the last 5+ years although the woman is quite rude we love the food, but the last two weeks she has got the order wrong and tonight said we didn’t order prawn toast and we ordered prawn crackers, we have never ordered prawn crackers ever as we always get them free with our big order! We have been charged for them and she wouldn’t acknowledge that, her customer service is 0 she has lost a good customer !! You have replied with saying you have CCTV !!! How is this then when we have had it delivered ?? You could of simply resolved this for an outstanding customer with giving them the correct order but instead you have tried slating them and now there business in google , really you have never even used our business and because we have given you this review which was completely correct you have given a false review in ours, really sad to be far, to treat a really good customer in this manner !!!

Expecting around a 30 minute wait for my delivery but arrived in 20. Delivery guy was friendly and polite. Lady on phone took my order quickly,politely and accurately. Quite a while since ive ordered from here and she seems to have mellowed in that time. Now employs a calmer,friendlier and softer sounding tone of voice. Ordered special curry & chips. It was all very tasty even the chips. Curry sauce was a nice spicyness,consistancy and taste. Well packed with chicken,chinese pork and a few king prawns. Also a nice amount of onions and peas included. Only one thing i didn't like my extra portion of bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Totally my own fault though because i had actually meant to order beansprouts which i love and not the bamboo shoots. So all in all very nice food and decent(ish) price. Would gladly recommend and i'll be ordering from Canton Chef again in the near future. Gave the 5star rating because it was my fault i did'nt like the B.S's & W.C's because like i say i stupidly ordered the wrong items.

Disappointed is an understatement..... We have used this take away for a number of years, but due to being unable to contact them at certain times where it appears the phone is of the hook, or very busy ( one time 78 times within the hour ) we decided to stop using them. On the off chance, used them last night. Again i'm sorry to say the food was very bland, either they didn't use any seasoning or MSG, but it was not very flavoursome. Add to that some tummy troubles for the wife and i this morning and into the afternoon. It's fair to say we won't be using them again.

My favourite Chinese, never had a bad meal yet. Always red hot when I get it home or delivered.

Absolute favourite chinese takeaway. Lovely food!

Love this place, best Chinese in Pontefract

Fantastic food very good value Pleasant staff well worth a visit

Over priced, under cooked food, a very arrogant rude lady but lovely delivery driver

The best Chinese take away around and we have tried several. We’re a little far away for delivery so we have to collect but it’s worth it. For some reason, this place closed over lockdown, so to get our fix we tried several other local places that were highly recommended to us by friends. Whilst they weren’t bad, they were not Canton Chef! I don’t normally take the time to review places, even when they’re amazing, but this place ticks all the boxes and deserves to be mentioned. Whenever we mention it to people, they don’t know where it is or haven’t even heard of it! Reasonable prices, decent portions, fresh and probably most importantly consistent. Yet to have a bad meal, and can count the number of times there’s been a mistake with the order on my hand in few years we’ve been ordering.

Speedy service delicious food large portions too.

Never had a bad meal from here. Good size portions too.

Took over an hour for delivery and was stone cold but to make it worse we found a blue plaster in it when we phoned them they denied the plaster coming from there’s, refused to replace or refund and was very very rude would never recommend this place.

Fantastic food quality and service

Best takeaway in pontefract go all the time food is spot on no complaints thank you

Horrible paid £15.10 for box meal including delivery overcooked obviously been cooked hours before and kept warm ribs couldn't get meat off was that tough everything else full of oil if think I'm just being fussy I've been qualified chef for forty years so know food overcooked /overpriced avoid

Not great. Wouldn't eat there again. Nothing against the place. Just lacked taste

Very nice food would definitely recommend will use again

Great prices for such brilliant food. I won't be going anywhere else now. Would highly recommend

Brilliant Chinese. Really tasty meals and good prices. Quick delivery of needed.

Husband ordered sweet n sour pork cantoneae style for the first time from here, he got sweet n sour pork balls in batter then it was covered in the sauce, he has this regular from other places and it doesn't come like that usually, it's just sliced pork, Think they had just done battered pork and put it in sauce, the batter was soggy.. Don't think we will go there again

Love the take away ! The food is amazing

1st time we've used them in a while and we loved it. Family of 6 to eat for under £30, bargain aswell, will highly recommend.

Poor service and food... cold and rubbery chicken. Ignorant staff.

If I could give 0 stars I would, absolutely disgusting, all 3 meals binned, and I feel really sick after the few mouthfuls I did have. No taste at all

Best Chinese takeaway I've been to

great meal good value fast delivery will use again

State £1.30 for delivery within 3 miles . We live 2.6 miles away but wouldn't deliver??? Rubbish!!

Wasn't too happy about sauce in curry really different from the sauce you buy separate almost fishy :/ ewww

Worst food ever. The chow mein that I had did not even satisfy my taste buds but to leave a horrible after taste was just an insult for the price I paid for my meal. I found a hair in my chicken and pork chow mein and to make things worse the chicken was boiled not fried and the meat was just fatty and digusting, The portion of salt and pepper king prawns was over salted and to make things worst when i did get the taste of prawn it was vile and tasted out of date. Prawn crackers were too thin and plain. Never again I will suffer from this insult of spending over £10 on what was essentially crap.
