Canton House in Dumfries & Galloway

Very Good food and nice young girl at front of house counter will definitely go the next time I'm in the area

Staying locally for the night in our motorhome and decided to try here, staff were polite and cheerful, usual menu from a Chinese takeaway and we chose food weve had from our usual place and I have to say it was top class, well cooked and good quality, we enjoyed everything we had and can honestly say we'd recommend it, yes it's cash only but that's quite common and there's signs in the window so it's obvious, cash is also better for local shops, we should all use more cash

We had special chow mein it was very tasty with thick pieces of pork beef King prawns chicken nice soft noodles in a lovely sauce cooked to perfection, large portion enough for two,good value,even the prawn crackers were nice. Thanks

Fantastic take away , value for money , very nice staff , we had the Special curry with fried rice and vegetable spring rolls , delicious, lovely Chinese food in a lovely town , pleas visit

We had a set meal for 2 last night, absolutely amazing food haven't had a Chinese like that in a long time. We will be back visiting Kirkcudbright again soon, just to eat your wonderful food. Thank you 😊

Went while on holiday special chowmein and special friedrice really good tasty food

Best Chinese food we have had for years.

Love the turtle and that man at the till is so nice 🙂.

Very friendly. Excellent food. Remember: cash only!

Had a takeaway from here and it was all very tasty

My partner and I visited this establishment tonight. We chose a few dishes from the menu, only to be told it's a CASH ONLY BUSINESS! It would seem that all takeaways in this town have the same policy. I wonder why? I'll let you draw your own conclusions? And it isn't to save on bank charges!

The food was ok , not the best I've ever had . Certainly fast food , very little wait.

Very average, not as nice as it was in the past, sorry just feel quality needs to be better. I won't be going back.used it for years, and the food to salty was just ok. Do a Google for others

Great food at a very good price. We went twice during our week in Kirkudbright and both meals were superb. Highly recommended.

We had just arrived for a week's stay in Kirkcudbright and so had a takeaway. We rang in advance, the food was ready when the said it would be. We had 3 dishes and a rice (you never know how large the dishes will be) and it actually provided us with another meal the next day. The food tasted freshly cooked and very nice. There's a varied menu, so we could try dishes new to us. Definitely somewhere to try if you're in the area.

Tasty, quick and good portion size. Good service too.

Excellent deep fried vegetarian tofu dishes, one of the best takeaways we've been to and quick service.

Great food at a good price will use again.

Great take away in Kirkcubright! Delicious chicken with black bean sauce 😉

If you are staying in Kirkcudbright, well worth getting a carryout we had battered chicken strips in sweet Thai sauce and chicken in blackbean sauce both were very tasty and enough rice in 1 portion for 2 people unless you like a lot of rice

Fabulous! Every dish was excellent, and every mouthful a delight, I would highly recommend it!

Had a lot better. The chop suey was full of beam sprouts - weird- and the other dishes weren’t much better. Wouldn’t return here or recommend.

Went there last night and was so impressed with the food, the guy serving us was lovely & very helpful. A great find.

GREAT TAKEAWAY BELIEVE ME. I have a vast knowledge of Chinese food and this is an absolute gem! Cantonese dishes cooked as they should be. Large portions and very well prepared! We visited a few times over a short break.

Would rate 0 stars if possible. Worst takeaway I have ever ordered from. Chicken fried rice is dark meat (which fair enough a lot of people like and I don’t) but this is not specified on the menu or whilst ordering. Salt and chilli chips tasted of nothing but chilli powder so were completely bland and not nice at all. Returned the food for a refund and straight away the manager was on the attack, using the excuse that no one else had complained etc. Good for them but I’m sure that’s an exaggeration. He was ridiculously rude and arrogant and enough to put me off even if the food was good. The only good thing about the takeaway was that the girl serving on the counter was friendly and helpful. It’s a Shame she has to put up with such bad management really. Also food is extremely overpriced for the quality of it. Avoid at all costs, especially if you ever try to ask for a refund.

Cash only. Really nicely cooked beef chow mein. Not overloaded with onion. Lovely egg fried rice. Portions were big enough without feeling bloated.

Absolutely delicious and very generous portions. Quick service too

Really good Chinese food. A1. Fast service too. Highly recommended.

Really tasty food, very good service and reasonable prices. On holiday in Kirkcudbright and decided to try Canton House, had 3 lots of meals whilst here (hasten to add we did stay for a month)! Really nice food, tasted fresh, great to have decent sized king prawns as opposed to some we have had in the past which claimed to be king prawns but were so small we struggled to find them! These were lovely. Would recommend the sweet and sour chicken as well and the chicken or prawn curry. Definitely coming back the next time we are here.

Very nice food. I've only been once while on holiday but it was recommended by a couple of locals and I really enjoyed it.

Very few places open on a Monday evening so ended up with a takeaway from here Very enjoyable Good value. Great food

On holiday in Dumfries and Galloway, we needed a quick takeaway one night and discovered the Canton House in Kirkcubright was close. We ordered by phone, collected ten minutes later and couldn't fault any part of the set dinner for four. It was so good we went again before the end of the week. Recommended.

Great place to come to for a Chinese, highly recommend!

Great Chinese, friendly staff and promptl service

Good food from a more varied menu than an average Chinese take away. The staff are also friendly & cheerful

Foods not the nicest greasy noodles salt and pepper chips taste like metal might have something to do with it just being chilli powder flung over them Ordered 2x salt and pepper chicken only got 1, first and last time I'll be there

Tasty Chinese food. Reasonably priced .

Nice wee take away. We've used this place whenever we're in Kirkcudbright with our motorhome. It's not far to access from the Silver Craig campsite. The meals we got were very good, so we we're happy once again.

Amazing food. Service was great!

We stayed at the local campsite and hubby went to collect a takeaway to enjoy in the camper! It was delicious! Ready in 10 mins piping hot and do tasty hubby had young chow fried rice and I had Chinese vegetables to go with my quinoa both were delicious! Good size portions too! Will use again when in the area

Great takeaway from the Canton House tonight. We had crispy duck and pancakes, chicken and lemon, mixed meat in Cantonese sauce and all was scrumptious..

We had a takeaway whilst on holiday and I can only say it was very much lacking in any sort of taste or quality. The prawn and cashew in chilli sauce was gluteness and sweet. In fairness the chicken balls were crispy but again the sweet and sour sauce was glupy and just sweet. The takeaway was incredibly busy so I can only hope we chose poorly!

Good food, quick and friendly service.

Not a bad chinese, plenty of meat on the ribs and the sweet chilli crispy beef was lovely.

Excellent service and the food was brilliant. Big order was completed on time and still pipeing hot when we got it home.

An unexceptional take a way but perfectly OK. Reasonable quantity of food of a good standard at a sensible price

Visited when I was last staying in the area for a break away. The satay chicken skewers in the peanut sauce are possibly the best I have ever had and I've had a few! Absolutely to die for. Unfortunately the chicken chow mein was quite bland and boring. Definately be visiting again if not just for the satay skewers!!

Don't waste your money this place is rubbish. We ordered a few dishes and each was poor. Life is too short to waste on bad takeaway.

Crispy shredded sweet chilli chicken is beautiful. A lovely meal

Very good Chinese takeaway. Been to a lot of Chinese restaurants over the years and the curry is the best here by a long way

Dusgusting chowmain was like pot noodle heatet up

On holiday in the area looking for takeaway on a wet Monday evening in October. A quick look at reviews on Trip Advisor suggested the Canton House was worth a try. Certainly the price of the food was very reasonable and service was quick. As for the food, the salt and pepper crispy spicy chicken was certainly very spicy - but tasted lovely. However, the sauce for the lemon chicken was almost too sharp. The main complaint from all of us was that the egg fried rice was stodgy and absolutely caked in grease, making it inedible. I think egg fried rice should be light and fluffy - may be we're too spoilt at home with a brilliant local Chinese takeaway.

Quality food at reasonable prices---good happy service--and super tasting food !!!!!!!!

Enjoy the food --its simply the best available from all the take aways in town--great service /price/staff--well done and thank you for the lovely meals we enjoyed while here on holiday

Chilli shredded chicken and King prawns are awesome.

Great food here and love the garlic chicken :)

Curry sauce from here is amazing! Fried rice is always full of flavour! 'chips in a bag' from previous comment.. To put in tinfoil containers they would end up soggy on the home run! Everything is crisp and tastes fresh well done canton. Number one choice always!

Cantón es, por mucho, mi favorito para llevar en kirkcudbright. El picante de pollo frito en rodajas es increíble. Buenas porciones, buenos precios, personal amable. Siempre listo a tiempo si un pedido o teléfono esperar si puedes pedir en el mostrador. Siempre se siente lleno y muy satisfecho después de una comida. Nunca he tenido una mala comida de cantón!

My family ate here recently and were very happy with both the service and the food! A good quality Chinese, they even do fortune cookies!

Friendly service. Food really good and piping hot

Nowhere near as good as Chen's Kitchen and will not re-visit. Good for anyone on a budget, as the individual dishes are priced at an all time low compared with any other takeaway in Scotland....

We had a takeaway last night from Canton House and it wasn't great. Chicken curry was watery and my chicken wings were dry and tasteless. Won't be back.

La primera impresión cuando entré en era que el lugar olía de grasa, no en una buena manera tampoco, pero como se hacía tarde fueron empujados por la variedad y pedimos aquí de todos modos. Las raciones de patatas fritas eran bastante pequeñas (estaban en una bolsa de papel en vez de en una bandeja y luego envueltas en papel) pero el resto de la orden era de porciones tamaño normal. No creo que volvería a comer desde allí de nuevo.

Nos gustó tanto que volvimos dos noches más tarde. Necesitábamos una comida para llevar, así que podíamos comer y jugar por la impresionante Bahía kirkcudbright durante las vacaciones.

Ok food, but lemon chicken sauce was cold, price was really good though, so would still go there again, just checking sauce temperatures.

Having used this takeaway many times over the years, I have never been disappointed. The range is really extensive and even more impressive is the knowledge of the lad who is behind the counter. You tell him your order and immediately he writes down its menu number for processing in the kitchen. Worth a visit just to see this guy in action.Parking is at the door with level floor access. TV on in the background and newspapers are there if you want a read while you are waiting.

Have a very good menu, ordered to takeaway. This was for five people and every dish was excellent. All portions were large!

Over the last 26 years we have been visiting friends in Kirkcudbright and have always eaten take aways from here. We heard that this time they had changed hands so were a bit worried that the standard would have dropped. Our fears were ill founded and the meal we had was fabulous. Thank you.

Friends up FTP. North East England and it was their treat, quick service and good menu. Special fried rice, plenty of meat.

The food was not the best and the value for money wasn't the best and service was ok tasting I would recommend going to the other Chinese so in general it wasn't a great experience

A very good takeaway restaurant. Our food was ready in15 minutes and tasted very fresh. The usual menu for a Chinese takeaway at normal prices. One of the best that we have been to for the price.

The canton house has recently changed hands and is still the best chinese in Kirkcudbright. The other one doesn't quite cut it I'm afraid.

We go every year to this take away very very nice. Good service and lovely food.
