Canton Element Chinese Restaurant in Camden

Lovely clean restaurant with a friendly comfortable atmosphere. The staff were lovely as well as helpful. The food was so delicious and portion size was amazing, we will certainly be back!

Este lugar tiene un menú amplio y variado, pero también tiene un precio fijo de almuerzo y cena que incluye cualquiera de una gran selección de sopas o dim sum seguido de una amplia selección de arroces, o platos de fideos. Me alojé en el Premier Inn justo enfrente y comí allí dos veces en los 3 días que estuve allí. La calidad y la cantidad eran geniales. No puedo recomendar este lugar más. Quizá necesites esperar una mesa, pero vale la pena.

The food was ok, very cheap for the location. It's super hot, so I wonder if it may have come from a microwave. Staff were a little sullen. My biggest gripe is the cleanliness. The toilets were absolutely vile. Worse than the roughest of pubs. To get to the loo, you walk past a little kitchen area. There was junk everywhere. Very off-putting.

Por favor, no vayas aquí por tu cuenta, te hablan como si no valiera la pena servir un solo comensal, humillando realmente la bienvenida fue tan fría.

Sweet and sour chicken with noddles was very very dry

We honestly didn't expect such high quality for 15£. Dinner was amazing.

Mi segunda visita pero con al menos un año de diferencia. Esta es una opción sólida de dónde comer. En ambas ocasiones la comida ha llegado notablemente rápido y ha sido bueno. Un amigo vive cerca, así que una opción simple. Estaría feliz de ir de nuevo. El propietario Maitre D, es afable, agradable y eficiente. Personalmente creo que la decoración podría hacer con un re - fresco, pero estoy siendo exigente. No tendría problema en volver otra vez, que es la prueba ácida. 👌

Fast paced and authentic Cantonese food. Never get u too long for neither the queue nor food. Food is amazing as always. Super super comfort food to me as a Cantonese and always coming back when I am in a homesick

Discovered by chance as it was across from our hotel. Loved it. I had a king prawn dish. It was packed with them and the meal was very flavoursome. Service was slick and very quick.

Excellent sized portions and quality of food at an affordable price. MUCH BETTER than Chinatown. We opted for their dinner set menu, which was really reasonably priced. Starters: salt and pepper chicken wings / char siu bao Main: roast duck and rice / Singaporean noodles

I've eaten here a few times and it's pretty good

Crispy noodles!!! Sesame oil jelly fish!!! Lamb brisket pot!!! OMG 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Very nice food, very good standard.

The dumpling's sauce is very spicy, should be announced beforehand

The best western style Chinese food I’ve had, great value.

Absolutely superb food! Piping hot & very tasty. Thank you

Nice food, on time, piping hot. What else do I need? Will be ordering again

Every time my friends from Hong Kong come to London, they will recommend many different Cantonese restaurants, honestly! It’s really authentic! This time I live in this area, and by accident I found a 100% authentic place for drinking tea, with a cup of authentic stocking milk tea! Help! The seafood stir-fry comes first, and all the flavors of Hong Kong are revealed! Eat more snacks and it’s really shocking! I haven’t been able to eat normal Cantonese food for a month! The character of heaven suddenly appeared. It can only be said that it is fate. 😀

I went there alone tonight. Nearly full house. I ordered a 滑蛋海鮮炒河 (egg fried chinese pho with seafood ?) for my supper. I can say that it is really the taste of traditional Cantonese dishes, which is far beyond the level of those chinese-take-away. Brilliant ! I added a pot of Chinese tea 鐵觀音 with just 2 GBP, much cheaper than the soft drinks and coffees. Worth to try !!

It’s been five years since I last visited this place. In general it’s a safe choice of Cantonese food in the area. However, terrible signal reception at this place and the waiter said they have NO WiFi.

If I could give this place a zero star, I would. Staff were super rude and hostile. They made us feel very uncomfortable. Right after we sat down, the woman waitress stressed that there is a minimum charge of $10 per person. I understand the policy but it was the way the message was delivered. She was condescending and aggressive. Food was mediocre.

nice portions. well presented and packed in a safe way to make sure items arrived in good conditions

wontons are some of the best ive ever had! their salted egg bean stalks were amazing, so addictive. chicken satay sticks were crispy and savoury. also the salt and pepper soft crab was delicious too. would really recommend, great service, great food!

Excellent food, friendly and efficient staff, reasonable prices. We enjoyed the two course meal deal. Portions were generous, and service was quick. I would certainly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for Chinese food in the Holborn area

Lovely restaurant run by Hkers. Delicious and very authentic flavours that remind me of HK

Gran menú, buen servicio, comida fantástica. Recomienda minuciosamente si estás en el área de Holburn/Chancery Lane. Volveré.

Good Chinese in London, cheap and quiet good food

Really good Chinese food in the heart of Holborn! Very reasonably priced (main snd small starter for less than £15, yes please) and quick but in a very modern and clean restaurant. All party members must be present to be seated. Staff members are very humorous, speaking both Cantonese and English fluently. Very keen to come back and eat more! Also karaoke is available!

Small cozy place with set menus that are affordable for lunch and offer good options. Portions are suitable for price and food is tasty.

I ordered takeaway, the portion was really good👍🏻, and the taste was amazing... I ordered morning tea from another restaurant a few days ago and it was just like leftovers, the portion was very small, yours is really good👍🏻

A nice little Chinese restaurant, better quality than your average takeaway.

Took the family as a walk in. Staff were great, menu great, and very good value for money.

This has become ine of locals. Staff are ALWAYS very pleasant. The food is mostly delicious, with the occasional miss.

It’s super delicious (rice dumplings, stir-fried beef dumplings, steamed buns). I’ve been here twice. The uncle who serves the dishes is very attentive to the guests and will come to help pour tea at any time.

Got my order wrong again and had to wait two hours for the meal.

Ordered crispy duck with hoi sin sauce today. Ate some of the rice and meat and then smelt a bad smell as i uncovered more of the duck meat. Checked the duck and it had a wierd shiny green colour to most of the meat. It was not fresh at all sadly and ended up in the bin. Unfortunately I have had the most horrible poorly stomach all evening thanks to eating this food. I will not be ordering from there again - whoever made and served that would've known that meat was off! Poor show.

Pequeña joya encantadora de un restaurante... con muy buena comida. Buen servicio amable, decoración limpia y comida fresca y sabrosa, con tamaños de porción decentes y precios razonables para su ubicación. Fue tan bueno que volvimos a almorzar al día siguiente.

Being from the Los Angeles area, I was skeptical of the Chinese food in London. Canton Elemental is unbelievably good. I couldn’t believe the all day dim sum would be so tasty and high quality. It’s not cheap Chinese food, but it’s really worth the price. Place was clean, food was fast and staff was friendly and efficient.

I went to celebrate my mum's birthday and father's day. Waiter was very welcoming and provided great service! Food was delicious, good portion & very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to others.

Chow mein was great and fries were 👌🏼

Pretty much our new work lunch spot! Incredible food and service.

For a ‘cheap Chinese’ this is the best in London. Been there like 10 times now and always reliable for a delicious meal!

Superb. Excellent food, impeccable wine selection and a friendly, relaxed, fun and sincere service. I can see why the queue outside was building! Sorry for taking up a 2-seat table! As long as my baby is still in Great Ormond Street, I will return here SO often. Thank you for a delicious night.

Compared to the fake reviews you see at a lot of restaurants, a 4.3 is a pretty good indicator of a good find. This place is not mind-blowing good, but it's good enough for me to return two days in a row. The congee, the stir fries and the shops are my favorites. The dim sum is ok but it's a great deal with the lunch and dinner combo. Service is friendly and prompt. I would recommend. About a million times better than the place I tried in Chinatown (TPT cafe).

This place server is really bad😡

Fantastic restaurant with a wide choice of authentic food, very quick and friendly service. This is the second time I've eaten here and I've been impressed.

This is the best fried rice I've ever had.

Didn’t get to take any pictures but food was yum! Lunchtime is busy so go early if you aren’t planning to do take away.

The shrimp dumplings are highly recommended. The meat of the pickled pork with pickled vegetables is a bit thick.

Driver was a nice guy, polite and delivered early

Food was greasy and inedible. The beef dish that was ordered had about 3 pieces of small beef in it. The sauce was so horrible I just binned the whole dish. Also, the fried rice that dishes come with is egg friend rice. This is important to note given any allergens as they aren't clearly listed. So disappointing.

Services couldn't accommodate ten people when query.

We went there eating spontaneously and the food was very good. The waiter were friendly with us.

The food is the top!! My favourite restaurant! The staffs are all very friendly.

Amazing authentic restaurant, great food and great service.

Very authentic Hong Kong style food! Would recommend friends to visit!

Amazing as always!! Food and service wonderful 🙂

The delivery was two hours late

I always go here for dinner when in London. Great food great service, over all a great place to eat

Quintessential C&G. Love this place!

Authentic Cantonese taste👍The authentic Hokkien fried rice

Amazing food! Dumpling starters, ribs, seaweed, spring rolls were all outstanding. Mains currys were also very tasty. If only this place was in Cirencester! Portions were very generous and next time we would share a mains between us. Service was great. Will definitely be back.

Food was absolutely amazing, staff were so friendly and helpful! 100% recommend the capital spare ribs, salt and pepper squid (first time having squid) and salt and pepper wings - they were the best I’ve ever had. Definitely my new favv Chinese dine in restaurant xx

Food took 2 hours to turn up. It was cold and just not very nice in general. Very disappointed will not be ordering from there again.

This place never stops impressing me! I discovered it about 4y ago and ever since is my go to place when I want to have the most delicious Cantonese food!! Well done and keep up the good work!!

The male waiter is extremely rude. Don’t come here!

Even if you make a reservation, you have to wait. I think I waited for 20 minutes. Delicious

Excellent food, service and price. Super tasty and staff really friendly and helpful. Good atmosphere. One of the tastiest meals we had in London.

Wow, I ordered from here because of the reviews but this is the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. We didn’t get any sauce like soy sauce or anything. The rice was very mushy with no taste. So disappointing

An excellent place for authentic Chinese food, reasonable price, attentive and friendly staff service. I booked a karaoke room for my daughter's birthday, the sound system is surprisingly amazing, and the air con is good too. Will definitely return to this place and highly recommend!

Food was absolutely disgusting and cold! and honestly doesn’t taste like a normal Chinese takeaway. I don’t know if this was just a bad batch as the reviews wasn’t bad but this was absolutely disgusting! Never ordering from here again.

Very friendly service! Good tasty food, hot; came quickly too. Very well-priced. Nice inside. Would definitely go again.

A recommended alternative to the frenzy of Chinatown. There is a full a la carte menu, but if you are there at lunchtime, the 2 course lunch menu is exceptionally good value. Choose a starter and a main from a huge range of options for just £12.99. The mains alone would be £15 in Chinatown and both courses were first class. Portions are large and the service is efficient and friendly.

We have visited the karaoke regularly for 7-8 times at least, spent 2-3k pounds there as there’s minimal spending of 330£. We were there for many times because food is fairly ok and price acceptable. But our last visit was EXTREMELY unpleasant and nightmare. They have put a CCTV in both two of the private karaoke rooms recently and they are INDEED watching. Once they find you are trying to take out any liquid (suppose alcohol), they will literally KICK into the door violently (who cares anyone sits next to the door or not, who cares you are hurt or not), and shouted “give to me!” loudly. And they will “confiscate” it and return back after you left. No apologies have been made. We were terrified and good mood was completely destroyed since then. I feel like I was in sort of camp or prison instead of paying to enjoy. I total accept keeping any outside alcohol temporarily if you ask politely and I don’t accept the break in rude action. Really hard to image it can happen in UK to be honest. Anyway, I won’t come again unfortunately although with good memories here. And strongly don’t recommend using karaoke downstairs.

Good, hopped in when feeling not good in stomach, got much better after the food.

It is a lovely place for a bite to eat. Busy, so booking ahead is recommended. The food was excellent, fast and tasty. The price was very reasonable. Will definitely be going back.

Very impressed with the food and service l love chinese food here is my go to place now hopefully will not have to sit opposite the woman with the sour face again

Lunch menu is great value. Food is nice and good portion size.

I had a marvellous experience here. Very clean, good food, friendly staff, cant fault it in any way would recommend!

Food is super delicious and nice vibe!

Friendly staff, excellent food.

I told them to not add pork to my rice and there was pork still in there.

Very bad service!! We walked a long way to get here and wanted a table but had a friend still on the way. There were tables in the restaurant but the staff wouldn't let us sit down. He asked us to stand and wait in the very narrow aisle by the door until everyone was there. We had to wait a little longer because our friend was lost. During this time, the staff often passed us by due to the narrow aisle, but none of them paid us any attention or even looked at us at all, as if we were not customers of the place, not to mention friendly and polite manner. We ended up changing restaurants and will not be returning here.

Absolutely gorgeous food the best we have eaten in a long long time. Quick service and extremely friendly staff . I would recommend this restaurant all day long. The take away is fantastic also as our daughter had that and loved it and she is autistic and only likes limited foods. Sarah, Kieron and Joseph x

They provided great services and foods. And the meal deal is cheaper than most of the Chinese restaurant. Really good place for lunch and dinner.

Good place to have your meal. Food is excellent...

The restaurant ignored the specific request on the order.

Sweet and sour chicken was nice but the duck was very tough and i wouldn't have paid for if i was in the restaurant.

Excellent & fast service. Tasty food with a wide range of dishes. Have been coming here for a number of years. Due to inflation, price remains the same but a smaller portion which is good as previously food leftover & wasted They will cater to vegetarians & adjust ingredients accordingly for customers who takes a fancy to non-vegetarian dishes Can get a little noisy as it's always full but not a problem if u are after fast but good reasonably priced food

Excellent food, both dine-in and takeaway, and there are good vegetarian options too

Uni must. Never knew food could be so good and so cheap. Meal deal🤩

Todo estuvo deliciosos y la atención muy agradable. La limpieza estuvo bien.

The most rude staff. Screamed at us as soon as we got in the restaurant, we had to walk out.

Seriously please avoid this restaurant at all cost. The staff is extremely extremely rude and I don’t believe they care much about customer service at all. Definitely by far the worst dinning experience I have had in London. My partner and I walked out as they started raising their voice at us. There are surely much better Cantonese restaurants around the area and if you don’t want your day ruined by a bunch of rude people, don’t go there.

Spring onion in in rumice which wasn't stated so unable to eat. Ribs were soggy. Really disappointed

The food here is excellent! Seriously the best Chinese food we have had in the city. We had 2 dinner specials and we both had the Shanghai style dumplings (pork soup dumplings for our starters and the salt & pepper pork chop and the beef noodle soup. Everything was so good, but the star was the beef noodle soup. It was so flavorful and delicious. We would come back just for the beef noodle soup. The service and atmosphere was amazing as well.

TLDR: rude staff, bad food Please do not order their pork knuckle noodle soup. The noodles were overcooked and clumped up. The pork knuckles were not cleaned properly before cooking because it still had hairs on the skin, and clearly weren't cooked long enough because it was tough. What was shocking was the reaction of the server when I asked to take the discretionary tip off the bill. I told him about the state of my food but he offered no apology. Instead he threatened that if I take the discretionary tip off, I cannot dine-in in the future, and can only do take away from now on. I've eaten here before and thought they were ok, but after today, I will not be going back ever again, especially because of the service.

I'm a western so the review is flavoured. That is definitely an authentic place. If you're looking for the immersion in experience - you will definitely get it. The food is tasty and fresh, I just have questions about Chinese food in general - too much sugar for my healthy lifestyle. And the service is also interesting - you will meet a kinda frustrated waiter that serves you with the speed of light but at the same time produces a significant volume of noise with the dishes placement, etc. However, that is the culture and this is for you to come here.

Comfort food at good prices and modern atmosphere. Comparatively no effect of msg felt unlike a lot of Chinese restaurants.

Delicious food and wonderful service. Thank you.
