Friendly staff and delicious food. Lots of choice, quick service and good value. Will be paying another visit when we come to cleethorpes again.

Very disappointed with our food. The Canton has always had a good reputation , and in the past food has always been good. Unfortunately we shall not be going back. The special fried rice seemed very over cooked and the meat hard. The chicken balls were covered in very thick batter, hardly any chicken. As for the prawn crackers..they tasted very sweet and resembled those you get in a bag from B&M.

First the good points. Large portions. Meat tender. Spring roll crispy with good filling. Hot. Now sadly the bad points. I had special chow mein which had a very strange sugary taste which got more prevalent with each mouthful until it was inedible. My wife had pork curry. Again meat tender but sauce was very thick which congealed as it cooled on the plate and had that same unpleasant sugary taste. Prawn crackers were yellowish and once again tasted sugary. I'm guessing, but perhaps the oil hadn't been changed recently? Very disappointing as this takeaway has had many good reviews and we thought we'd give it a try. Won't be going back.

This was our regular Chinese but sadly the last 2 visits have not been as good . Not sure if it has been taken over or they are using inferior ingredients. The rice was stodgy and chips very chewy overall a big disappointment and will be looking to go elsewhere.

Ordered food from here last night and was told 20 pounds for egg fried rice chips curry sauce and spare ribs prawn crackers when we added this up on most recent menu never came anywhere near this cost would stay away from using this company as they clearly charged whatever they like

We have lived in Cleethorpes for over 30 years and used to swear by the Canton for both quality and service. This evening was our last visit after too many repeated disappointments. We ordered Vegetable Chowmein, Salt and Pepper Ribs and Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls. What we got was some unnecessarily sweetened noodle concoction (lacking in all but a few peppers and token beansprouts), spare ribs which were as tough as old boots and frankly, just not what we ordered, and chicken balls coated in an overly thick batter. The rancid tasting prawn crackers were the final straw, however complimentary they may have been. Sorry Canton, we'll be going elsewhere from now on.

Ordered 2 special omlettes and 2 curry sauces. Arrived within half an hour. On opening the food there were no curry sauce , rang the takeaway and they said they would deliver in 10 mins to which they did!!! I dont know whats happened to this Chinese but we may have just thrown £17.00 in the bin. Omlette - dry and tastless Chips - Frozen, hard and burnt. Tasted like they had been fried over and over again. Curry sauce- tastless and watery. Very dissapointing when you come home from work looking forward to your tea and it all goes into the bin!!! Needless to say that we will never order from here again !!!

First time and last time, ribs very bland and tasteless, beef and mushroom in black bean sauce also bland, don’t normally do reviews but don’t waste your money, go to lucky instead, what a waste of £25.00

This was our second order this month and it was fantastic again. Every meal was hot and tasty and we all enjoyed it. Canton is our new favourite place.

I really don’t understand the negative reviews. I have been trying to find a decent Chinese takeaway in Grimsby/Clee for over two years. This is 100% the best one. Ever time I have ordered the food has been really tasty and hot. Only downside is they don’t have a website to order from, you have to ring up, which can put some people off ordering, as many people like to order through there phone for convenience. However it is worth ringing for.

First time trying this take away and a big mistake. Everything apart from half the bag of chips went in the bin. Chicken if it was chicken looked and tasted revolting. Wouldn't feed it to a pig not that I have one. Dread to think what tomorrow will bring but on a lighter note there isn't a shortage of toilet paper at the minute. Avoid.

Thought we'd try the Canton as our regular Chinese takeaway is closed and we'd heard good things about the Canton. Crispy chicken was soggy, curry sauce as thick as tar and fried rice that was almost black. Without doubt the worst Chinese food ever. Avoid it like covid. Best thing was we ordered it to be delivered and arrived at the exact minute requested.

Very disappointed !! Had a terrible meal from here a few nights ago food lacked taste and flavour and was the worst Chinese meal I have ever had from here. I grew up in Middlethorpe Road and as kids used to play at the back of the shops and played with the owners kids and grew up eating from this Chinese. I am approaching 60 now and have had many many meals from here and always enjoyed it but now not sure if there are new owners but it’s really gone down hill. I will not get another meal again unless things change and will seek a new business to buy from. Sorry guys food was terrible.....!! Bland and tasteless food..

Bought a shrimp curry and boiled rice which consisted of a few prawns and a few onions floating in some yellow watery liquid. The boiled rice was okay. I can't imagine how they get any good reviews selling rubbish like this.

First time getting food from Canton. Ordered 2 chow meins. Both of them were way too sweet, the Singapore chow mein not spicy at all! Asked for a bag of prawn crackers , got a small bag with 6 pieces in it! Never going back again!

Normally when we have a takeout from Canton it is really nice however tonight my special chop suey didn’t have a lot of sauce, was bland in taste and the peppers were hard. I think basically they chucked it in a pan, whirled it round for 2 minutes and then put it in a tray. Come on Canton get yourself act together

After not having a Chinese for 3 months & our usual one closed due to lockdown we reviewed and decided to try here. We all ordered chicken satay starters which the sauce was nice, however the chicken was undercooked in parts and extremely chewy. For mains all the rice was stuck together as though it had been reheated, the beef dish was tasteless and didn’t have much beef in and was chewy. The prawn crackers were the best part, as most of the meal went in the bin! Will not be returning.

It’s a while since we have had a Chinese from the Canton, so tonight thought we would return there. What a good decision. Rang with the order which was dealt with very politely and efficiently by a lady. She said it would be ready in ten minutes, and sure enough when I arrived to pick the food up it was ready. Back home we tucked into hot, tasty and good sized portions. Cannot speak to highly of the service and food and can highly recommend this establishment. Looking forward to the next takeaway from here already.

Ordered a takeaway from here for the family at 6.15 pm , rang them at 8.30 said we was next to be delivered, driver rang at 8.45 saying she couldn’t find address was at the wrong road, rang them and they blamed the delivery driver, they agreed reluctantly to reduce our bill by £3 however when the very unapologetic delivery driver arrived she refused to accept this and was extremely rude , said she didn’t have her phone so I had to ring them back so the driver could be told this, she then proceeded to have a conversation on my phone , I asked for it back and she started swearing at me . Absolutely appalling have never known anything like it. Shall never ever use this place again and would wrongly recommend nobody else does also food was stone cold

We’ve tried plenty takeaways in and around the area and Canton on Middlethorpe Road is by far the best around. Still do the ‘proper chips’ and the curry sauce has a right good kick to it. Never had a bad meal and always ready within 15/20 mins for collections. Can be busy at the weekends as it is a popular place.

Honestly the best Chinese takeaway in the area! The food is amazing and the timing (how long it takes to make the order) is also astounding! This one time I ordered from here and they said it would be 45 minutes but it was delivered in under 15 minutes. This was amazing and the delivery drivers have such polite manners! Absolutely nothing bad at all about Canton and would highly recommend this to anyone!!! I've never had a bad meal from here and I'd highly recommend the chicken chow mein to anyone! It's AMAZING!! 10/10!!

Young girls that are about 17 that think they can do what they want as the owner does not understand, this includes ordering customers what they want them to eat as well as overcharging them when they order delivery. The owner passes the phone onto the delivery staff as he does not understand, the overcharging has not happened once but on several occasions. Doubt whether I will be returning to this Chinese for meals due to the staff need replacing and competent staff being employed. Might help as well if the owner can speak English so he can deal with the complaints rather than pass the phone to those that you are complaining about.

Very disappointed tonight, starved myself all day so I could enjoy a takeaway away from here tonight, we started ringing them for a delivery about 9.45pm and they decided to leave the phone off the hook. We've tried for 1hr then left it, very very disappointed they must have know, as they wouldn't be getting any orders.

My parents will only ever order from here and the food is delicious! We always pick the order up as we live around the corner and it is always ready within 15-20 minutes. Friendly staff and good quality food - can't go wrong! We always get the 4 dishes for £13 which makes it better value.

If you want a takeaway, but don’t mind being lied to then this is the place for you!!!!! Ring your order through, Chase it up after 45 minutes, you will be told it’s on it’s way, when you’ve waited another 15 minutes and ring back, they’ll tell you it’s just being cooked and will be with you in 15 minutes!!

The previous evening, I phoned this establishment. Firstly, to ascertain that they were open at lunchtime, which was confirmed. Secondly, I specifically asked if they accepted credit cards for payment. This was clearly confirmed so we were confident that we didn't need to get cash prior to our visit.

Buenas porciones de tamaño, que era preciosa y fresca y caliente. Estupendo si tienes apetito, si no puede guardarlo para el día siguiente.

I’m glad I didn’t check the reviews before ordering from here tonight or I probably wouldn’t have done. I ordered 3 dishes and some fried rice. The food was all really tasty - with a good kick of heat in the spicier dish. I called the takeaway as I needed to change something on my order and this was done without a problem. Two things … £2.60 for prawn crackers is obscene! And delivery is very slow. I understand (and prefer) the need to cook everything fresh but an hour and twenty minutes for delivery on a Tuesday night isn’t good.
