Wow.just wow! This was hands down the best Chinese meal I’ve ever had from the rich,authentic flavors to the beautiful presentation.every dish was absolutely flawless.l’ve been searching for a place like this for so long ，and I am so glad I found it .you’ve truly won a loyal customer for life. Thank you for not just delivering food but creating an experience that made my day brighter.keep up the amazing work-you’ve got something really special here👍

Outstanding food and exceptional service! Every dish we ordered was absolutely spot on. The portions were generous, the flavors were incredible, and everything was cooked to perfection. The Singapore noodles were hands down the best I've ever had—bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and just the right amount of spice. The pancake roll was crisp on the outside, packed with tasty filling, and cooked beautifully. The prawn crackers were so fresh and crunchy—a perfect addition to the meal! Everything arrived piping hot and exactly as expected. From start to finish, this was a 10/10 experience. A huge thank you to the talented chefs and the hardworking team at Canton House —you're doing an amazing job. I'll definitely be ordering again soon and recommending you to everyone I know. Keep up the fantastic work!👍🏻👏🏻

Rice was dry and stuck together like it had been stored for a few days, not enough sweet and sour sauce. The BBQ ribs are not BBQ the sauce is more like a gravy. Always used to go to Canton all the time, won't be going back.

Really fab as always. Thank you so much!

Food has always tasted great when ever I have ordered, always quick, never have to wait more than 10 to 15 minutes for the food to be made, staff always polite 😊

Excellent! Try the new salt pepper chicken balls amazing. Really enjoyed the crispy shredded chilli beef although could have been a little hotter - asked for no veg in the main dishes & got exactly that, very pleased.

Excellent as always, hot, tasty food and delivered before estimated time, highly recommended

Super fast delivery. Food was delicious and arrived hot. Best Chinese we've had in a long time.

Small curry sauce £3.60!there having a absolute laugh. Not surprised it's going downhill

Excellent Chinese Takeaway. Delivered within 30mins. We had Kung Po Chicken and Beef in Black Bean. Accompanied with Fried Rice.

onions were uncooked in Hong Kong sweet and sour prawn

Walked in and collected chips and bbq sauce and the sauce. Was not bbq sauce at all was all like gelatin had white fat lumps through it was not edible not a happy man right now and make the best of it the chips was stale !!

Delicious, hot and exactly as expected, infact it was even better than expected would definitely order again.

fantastic food, brilliant service 👌

Food was around 15 to 20 minutes late and was stone cold by the time we received it Very unhappy, not delivery drivers fault so still tipped

Food was freezing cold , disgusting

food was good however the rice was £7 for a small portion

Excellent service and excellent food!

Good food, on time and easy to order.

Sadly food not good. Not recommended.

Really bad food. Chow mein had no flavour and duck meat was over 50% fat. Will never use again.

I have been ordering from here for a while because it was close to my house but have always been disappointed, they just don't put any love into their food.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS TAKEAWAY! What an absolutely vile, disgusting meal. If I could give this takeaway zero stars, I would. I ordered chicken with cashew nuts. I'm sure tge meal had been cooked at least an hour beforehand. ZERO cashew nuts. Cold slimy sauce. Had a smell of diesel exhaust to it. This has left me feeling physically sick and very cross as I was expecting good things.

DO NOT USE THIS TAKEAWAY! Just had an absolutely vile, disgusting takeaway from this restaurant. I'd ordered chicken with cashew nuts. ZERO cashew nuts, cold slimy sauce. Had a smell of diesel exhaust. Had to throw 2 thirds away as it was so dreadful. Has left me feeling physically sick. PLEASE, do yourself a massive favour and go elsewhere.

After having not tried Canton House for quite a while after a poor experience, I thought I'd give then another try. And the food was terrible! Chicken Fried Rice was undercooked and very bland, and had hardly any chicken at all. I think I spotted two peas! Also tried the BBQ Spare Rib - which was not BBQ at all. The ribs were again very bland tasting, but also the sauce wasn't BBQ but plain gravy! Delivery itself was on time, and polite driver, but overall absolutely awful and will definitely not use again. Avoid.

Unfortunately, the food was bland beyond measure. The pancake roll contained nothing more than beansprouts, 1 sliver of what i think was chicken and half of what at might have been a prawn, but I would not put money that. I would not recommend this place ti anyone.

I have never tasted anything so bland 😔

Back in the 1970’s canton house was fantastic and the best around . Such a shame that we went there last night and it was the worst anywhere !! It didn’t even taste like Chinese and all the onions peppers .etc were completely raw . The only good thing were the prawn crackers!!!! The original owners would be devastated that their original reputation had been ruined

Ordered meal for friday evening Over cooked sweet & sour chicken, fried rice not fried and crispy seaweed was disgusting and inedible

Very poor quality and almost devoid of meat. Disappointing, and will not go back. Cannot recommend Canton House based on this meal.

I used this takes away some years back but had a take away this week and I can honestly say it was the worse Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time. DO NOT EAT HERE if you enjoy your food

Quality and quantity. Very good value for money. Fresh and very tasty. Definitely recommend and will order again.

We won't be ordering from here again. Vegetarian spring rolls had chicken inside, chips were undercooked, Vegetable Singapore noodles came without any vegetables, the chicken chow mein was watery... I strongly advise any potential customers to look elsewhere.

Worst take away ever, HK chicken style was awful, gristly chicken and water source. Overpriced. Avoid.

Ordered crispy duck and not crispy but soggy and fatty. Curry had smell to it so couldn't eat it. Really poor quality

Had a takeaway on Saturday 10th Dec 2022. Canton House used to be so good but this meal was awful. Pricey. Half-filled cartons. I had Kung Po chicken, usually crispy in a tasty sauce. This was floating in soy with lots of undercooked onions and the chicken was chewy and slimy. Yuk. Only a couple of cashew nuts.

I am going to take to them 2morrow the disgrace they deliver... It is a pool of fat × 4 with not sure wot is in the grease MESS. VERY VERY LIQUID FAT.. YUK YUK.. Will wrap it up well to avoid spills in HEAVY DUTY BIN LINERS

Ordered through just eat. Never again. So hard to get a refund. Food was stale, the noodles stank as the bamboo shoots were gone off. Was sick the next day. Had to bin most of the order. Used to be good but not now. Won’t be ordering again.

Always great food and friendly service.

We live locally so its great to have such a wuality chinese takeaway so close. Great menu, always accomodates special requests, speedy delivery service and above all, very tasty food. Would 100% recommend.

Extremely disappointed. Chicken curry gloopy and the sauce had been poured over cooked chicken. Kung po dry and prawn crackers stale. Complete waste of money

Can’t rate this higher enough. The food was delicious, order delivered in ultra quick time, and reasonably priced.

We ordered 5 dishes. The satay chicken was replaced with chicken & pineapple which I dislike but didn't realise until it was on the plate so too late to take it back. The portions were small, foil tins not filled to top and the rest of the food underwhelming. There are much better chinese takeaways in Chandlers Ford and I will not be ordering from this one again. We did message about the incorrect dish but were never given the courtesy of a reply.

We ordered deep fried chicken and fried shredded beef Singapore rice, salt and pepper ribs and spring rolls. The only thing palatable were the spring rolls which they probably buy in. Singapore rice was basically old rice with a bunch of curry powder dumped in. The ribs appeared and tasted days old. Fried chicken was tasteless the bland pale batter looked and tasted vile The same tasteless batter on the beef and tiny portions of both. Complete waste of money - had to bin it. Do not bother going.

I always thought this was the tastiest and cleanest in town but the last meal was hidious and i asked if theyd changed the cook to be told that the food order must have been rubbish because i didnt pay enough?And i must pay more!

waited 1 hour 30 mins for this to arrive , ive been a regular for years up to now. It arrived 30mins after they said it would, and then my order was wrong. also have to say it must be a different chef, every dish was full of onions!! I rang to complain and hey offered a refund for the missing dish, but that doesn't really help when your kids are hungry and the only thing they will eat is missing. What has happened to canton house

Would give it no stars if I could. Without a doubt the most disappointing and bland Chinese. I used to use this before the current owners and it was fantastic. I thought I would give the new owners a chance and well that was a waste of money. Chow mein had no flavour, the curry tasted of powder and nothing more, loads of onions and substandard meat. Big spring rolls were all batter, oily and no filling. The most impressive and tasty thing here was the free prawn crackers. Do yourself a favour and please avoid here it’s not worth your money.

I phoned in advance so did not have to wait too long when I arrived. The food was really nice and hot but my only complaint was the amount of onions in every dish. Far too many to make the meal enjoyable which was a shame because when we got rid of all the onions it was quite tasty.

ordered a takeaway service, this was my 1st time ordering from this takeaway and im sorry to say it will be my last, to start card machine on arrival did not work,so unprofessional. chicken curry was bland and pretty tasteless, the chicken was so chewy it could not be chewed so ended up in the bin, shop suey a tiny portion of beansprouts again pretty tasteless and once again chewy chicken and was unable to chew it, i ordered chips, can you really go wrong with chips, well here you can, totally dried up and sorry to say again ended up in the bin, the only thing which were edible and fresh were the prawn crackers, so a lot to spend on a bag of prawn crackers. this was so disappointing but the worst Chinese i have ever had .

Excellent food, with plenty of meat & veg rather than just tonnes of onion which we’ve had from other local Chinese take aways. Ready on time, good quality dishes.

The food here is revolting! Not one item we ordered was any good! Chicken satay starter was tough and in a weird brown lumpy tasteless jelly. Spring rolls were just beensprouts in thick greasy batter. After a bite each both of them went in the bin!Lemon prawns were vile! The sauce was like lemon wallpaper paste and the prawns had half their shells on too, then covered in batter. Chicken in black bean tasted like liquorice and was really sweet, yuck! The Singapore fried rice was dry and hard and had no flavour.I have never eaten from a place where every dish was so revolting! Such a shame as this place was great a couple of years ago. I guess the new management are clueless. Doubt they'll be open for much longer. The reviews here are quite right, disgusting and revolting food, I would eat from here if I was paid too!

Used canton house for over 20 years. Gave it a go when it changed hands, hoping it would still be as good. Food was terrible! Ribs were tough, sauce looked and tasted like greasy dish water. Best bit of the meal was the fortune cookies. Devastated to have lost the best takeout ever

First order by recommendation & was very good food! So glad I decided to try this place. Every item I ordered was full bursting with flavour and so well cooked. Even after eating some of the food the next day as left overs the taste was exceptionally delicious.

The food is really good,the chicken balls were perfect, not that greasy and the satay sauce was the best. It’s so difficult to find proper satay sauce and I’ve finally found it! Ridiculous amount of prawn crackers and the prawns were very well cooked and I love their varied menuWill be my Chinese from now on

Sorry but that had to be the worst Chinese food ever. Tasteless, bland, feeling slightly sick now. What a complete waste of £30.the beef chowmein was all stuck together and had no flavour. The pork satay was awful. Totally disappointed with the whole thing. Sorry to be so negative but all I have written is 100% true.

Tried Canton out as I heard from some people that it had improved from what it was first like when ownership changed.Sadly, it was pretty awful. Service was sullen, and the food itself was beyond bland - honestly I have had better pot noodles, and I have never, ever, had a spring roll with such little filling.Cannot recommend on any level - such a pity, as the location is good and the previous owners ran an excellent business.

First visit to this Chinese, it will be our last. We ordered chicken chow mein and a few other dishes I have never tasted anything like it. It was horrible we couldn’t eat it

Hadn't been for a while but chose Canton House recently as was always very nice and relatively healthy. Didn't realise it's changed hands. The noodles were slimey and tasteless and my partner has been ill all weekend after trying the beef chop suey - the beef was like shoe leather and was inedible. We won't be going back.

Noodles were congealed, greasy and mushy. Crispy beef was solid and chicken balls were cold and soggy. Chips and prawn crackers were only nice bit. Mother gave up eating it. Just so sad this place has gone downhill.

Been going in here for years but since the change of management food quality and portions have diminished, it used to get very busy at lunchtime in the cafe but very quiet nowadays

Canton house use to be one of the prides of chandlers ford, with great dishes such as their spare ribs, but a recent change of management its food standards has severely deteriorated along side its customer service.

Regular patrons of Canton House are no doubt aware it has changed hands recently. I I have held off writing a review because the first 2 takeaways were so-so. I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt but that has now evaporated after takeaway number 3.

Absolutely gutted,have used Canton House for years and always said how great the food was,now it is no way near as good,so much so that I will not return there.

We ordered food from here tonight and it was absolutely lovely. The ribs were well seasoned and cooked perfectly, the chow mein was perfect and so were the chicken and the beef. It was just the perfect take-away and we would go back again.

Ordered a curry and egg foo yong. It was tasteless. Great pity because I have had many a tasty meal from them over the years. I think it has new owners who really must improve their offering to retain previously loyal customers such as me

I’ve been coming to this place for the last 7 years, the foods always been fantastic and really tasty,and the man on the front desk always friendly.In my eyes the best Chinese around or it was!

My family & I have been coming here since the mid 70’s and I’ve have just had the worst take away ever...! I know the old owners so i contacted them but they tell me the business is sold. The Chinese curry is full of msg, boiling water with cheap curry powder from Yau brothers. The ribs are fatty & slimy & deep fat fried, the beef with green pepper is again so salty from msg it is not edible. The texture of the beef is “pappie” like the cooked reconstituted frozen Chunks you can buy in bookers / Lidl. I’m not going to say anymore but I’m deeply, deeply saddened as this place was once an institution & the best....

Bit worried when I heard the owners had changed. Ordered chicken curry and egg fried rice and a pancake roll and it all tasted great. Will be back soon.

Noticed there have been a few negetive comments lately. Had a meal this evening, absolutely delicious. I guess the benchmark will be the spare ribs tho as they used to be fantastic.

Been a customer of this establishment for 30 years and did not know the owners had changed, had our first take away last night and it was rubbish. Sweet and sour spare ribs which I always loved turned out to be tiny pieces of ribs with lots of onion, fruit and a sauce so weak it slopped around on my plate. My wife's meal of prawn noodles was dry and lacked taste. Never going back there again and will search for a new venue.

Unfortunately not a good first impression of the new management Chip portion was tiny, bbq ribs sauce very watery and tasteless Unsure whether to give them a second chance with different items

Always very good. Prompt service and very tasty Have only been in the area for a relatively short time but this is the best we have tried

Lived here for 40 years. This is THE best Chinese in the area. Great service, great food - a frequent user - thank you

I ate the satay chicken and sweet and sour chicken from here, both were lovely and fresh. First time using this takeaway as was visiting family. Very nice!

Good grub all round but the bbq ribs are epic! Don’t have any. Leave them for meeee! Plenty of other tasty dishes and many old favourites, all done well.

Just treated to a chinese takeaway by my daughter excellent piping hot nicely cooked and really tasty.

Best in Chandlers Ford hands down. The food is first class and the service is always friendly. Been using this establishment for many years now and never been disappointed. I bit of trivia: this was the first Chinese in Chandlers Ford opened back in the 60’s

Lovely food and always happy and smiley service. My only complaint is they don't deliver and they only have a 3 for food hygiene. Their spare ribs are meaty and delicious, the large spring rolls are a little bit greasy too.

Same family hands since I was a teenager and Im 48 now. Best chinese for miles and only fault is that they dont deliver.

Best Chinese take away in chandlers ford! The ribs were amazing with alot of meat on the bone. Highly recommend

Just had another yummy takeaway from our favourite Chinese Takeaway.We have going there for years now and have never been disappointed,probably the best we know of,long may they continue.

Authentic Chinese food at an affordable price. The Singapore rice noodles are the best in the area. 👍

There is only one word to describe the food at this takeaway WOW it is so popular you could have to wait for up to 2 hrs if you place a phone order but it is worth the wait

Chandlers Ford has an excess of mostly good takeaway restaurants. Indian and Chinese predominate, however having moved here 30 years ago, the finest Chinese takeaway is still The Canton. We ordered a meal there the night we moved in and still go there pretty well every Saturday evening, having tried most other takeaways in the town. Their barbecued spare ribs are a speciality and full of meat instead of just bone. Their selection of normal Chinese meals is very good and although we've tried other establishments we have yet to find a better takeaway. The only downside is that they don't deliver, however the half hour wait is made easy with a pint avross the road in the pub.

We usually have prawn and special curries which are always top notch. Every now and again I will have the spare ribs which are like pork chops as they are so generous. Simon on the front desk is an absolute gentleman, great guy.

We have been ordering from here since we moved to the area and started to do so because of the reviews. Crispy Chilli Beef is amazing and so crispy, the food is lovely and the service is perfect. Never have a complaint.

Mi compañero y yo pedimos la comida de Cantón Casa cuando nos instalamos en la que la zona y elegimos porque era el mas cercano. Este fue casi hace 4 años y nunca hemos estado en china para llevar otra desde entonces. La comida es...

Personal amable, teléfono está siempre ocupado pero una vez a través del personal son siempre tan alegre y amable. La comida es fantástica y a un gran precio. Hace poco nos hemos mudado a feria de roble pero seguir usando este lugar.

Nunca tuvimos una mala comida de aquí en más de 20 años. Buena relación calidad-precio estupenda comida muy práctico si no quieres cocinar.

Preciosa China! Mudado recientemente a la feria de roble pero aún viajando por China, ya que es tan bueno! Dulce y agria pollo es preciosa!

Me encanta este chino. Estado yendo allí por años. El último par de meses, aunque nos hemos dado cuenta de que lo han cerrado un poco. Espero que esto no ha sido a causa de una enfermedad.

Primera y original para llevar chino Chandlers Ford. Aún así, ofrece la mejor comida para llevar perfectamente preparado.

The first Chinese takeaway in Chandlers Ford, still going strong and as tasty as always. Great service and great food.

What can I say This is what food should be With out doubt the best Chinese food in the area Ten out of ten

We have just moved to the area and found this Chinese just round the corner. Guy behind the counter is great, friendly and helpful. Pub over the road so perfect waiting room!! Food is great, the best chicken curry I've had!

I've never given a 5 rating for a takeaway, but this place deserves it. The man out front taking the orders was cheerful and knowledgable about the menu. Ordered the smoked chicken, chicken satay, green pepper chicken with black bean and Singapore fried rice - delicious and flavourful. They were happy to amend the ingredients for a personal preference.The phone hardly stopped in the 15 minutes we were waiting. Unfortunately they don't deliver, but I'm happy to return for such good food. Parking out front and next to a Co-op to buy an accompanying bottle of wine.Definitely going back

What can I say? Saw reviews here, thought we'd give it a go, so glad other reviewers had been kind enough to share their comments!The smoked chicken was lovely, good size pieces of chicken with nice flavour too. The chicken satay was perfect, nice little tingle to the taste buds from the sauce with plenty of chicken, onion and pineapple as well. I asked for no peppers and I got what I wanted, fab. Even the rice was delicious.Great food, well worth the wait, about 30 mins when they opened on a Friday evening. Charming and welcoming chap on the counter too, Simon I believe. Thanks for ending the week in such a great way. We'll definitely be back!

We have been using canton house for years and can honestly say the food has been consistently good. They use chicken breast in their chicken dishes unlike some other establishments! Word is getting around about how good they are so there is sometimes a bit of a wait but it's worth it.

After reading reviews we tried canton house and was not disappointed. Been using for ages now always good quality. Allow about an hour if you order by phone as they are always busy due to popularity. We have takeaways close to us but make the drive as its worth it. Food also looks good, never greasy or oily. Smoked chicken is so good! And always friendly service

I was in the canton house recently and I got Chicken Fried rice and curry sauce and it was the best I've ever had.
