Canton Taste 大江南北 in Camden

We popped in as a walk in to have some Dim Sum. The staff were friendly and helpful and offered to make recommendations we could enjoy. Food was delicious and served quickly. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you! 🤩

I had the Singapore noodles which tasted like lobster, which I'm assuming they reused the oil to cook most of their food. And lobster doesn't sit well with me I had bad stomach pains.

The food was very tasty, however the service was not on the same level. I attempted to order in mandarin and the waitress said ‘can you speak English please’ in a very rude tone, and her general aura seemed off throughout, there was no welcome with a warm smile. I didn’t feel welcome. The food was good but I won’t be returning due to the service.

The dim sum is good, the barbecue platter is plenty, and the egg yolk quicksand buns are the best. The landlady is very talkative and makes you feel at home, which is great.

We had appetisers and crispy duck , they were all excellent and the lady who served us was lovely

Really good, would recommend! Great service and delicious food

So, reading all this nice reviews we decided to give it a try but to be perfectly honest we have much better in Wolverhampton. The service wasn't the best, they forgot my husband soup , we had to move our table because a larger party arrived ( they booked in advance so the restaurant should have known). My fish with vegetables on the menu was marked with two peppers ( I usually love this) arrived so spicy I had to use my husband rice so I could eat it. Just look at the picture, all these peppers I fished out from my dish! The portion was very generous though, would have been enough for 2 people. Also it was the first restaurant we were in that haven't offer us any desert menu, they just brought a bill and that's it.

The food is always so delicious and very authentic.

The food I ordered chilly chicken something is completely diffident with the picture. Very dry and burnt so I asked the staff then he took my food away and said canceled my food . I just ask why the food is different with the picture. Don’t go there which the review all not real

Amazing food will definitely return. Beef Black Bean, sweet and sour pork and noodles. Sensational flavours. Great menu and friendly service. 10/10 !

Great little Asian place just around the corner in Kings Cross. Friendly service and really good food. Recommend it if you are passing through. We had everything so I can't recommend any specific dish, they were all good.

Delicious food, great staff. Had a lovely evening

Fried large intestine, crispy durian cake, great! !

Best bao buns I’ve ever had. The staff was so nice and the food was ready fast and very good! If I ever come back to london I‘ll definitely visit again!!

An authentic Chinese restaurant, of which there are not many in London. I spent some time in China, so I can write this from my own experience. Critics of this restaurant probably only know Asian fast food restaurants. Excellent selection of food, pleasant service, good prices, I definitely recommend it

After finding this on a list of really amazing Chinese restaurants in London, I was happy to find no line on a Sunday for dim sum. Char siu bao was delicious and was the perfect bun to meat ratio. Xiao Long Bao could’ve used a little bit more soup and I had a tear or two, but it was still good! My only downside is that it’s a little expensive for what you get - I spent like 12 pounds for 3 char siu bao and 3 xiao long bao, usually you’d get at least 6 xiao long bao for that. But I would still recommend it to people for sure!

This place was rated higher than it deserves. Very small portions for duck and crispy pork and was not as flavorful as I would have hoped. Charged £12 for white rice for 3 portions. Menu is overpriced, food underdelivered, try elsewhere. Did not eat dim sum, only dinner.

Absolutely amazing food. We got lots of different things and all were awesome.

Great service, the staff were very attentive & friendly. The food was also great :)

For those who love Chinese cuisine, I recommend it. The staff is super welcoming and the food is amazing.

Tried asking the staff member whether it was Chinese or another region the food was from as he stood outside having a cigarette, to which he was confused as he didn't speak a word of English, so lost a sale.

Overall everything was very tasty and fresh. Every dish was flavourful. Would recommend! The prices are also reasonable.

Everything was so good. We normally eat Dim Sum in Chicago and this really hit the spot.

I visited this fabulous restaurant Sat, 1st June 2024 with my family. I had been recommended to dine in and what a great experience. The selection of Dim Sum was amazing and really authentic. The main menu, well it's all there for you to make your choice. All our dishes were a taste sensation. We loved it there. It's only a small restaurant so you might want to book ahead. It looks nothing from the outside but the prize is the food itself and the lovely lady that ensured that service was prompt, hot and plentiful. Loved it there. I will be back.

A good variety of dishes and dim sum on the menu, I just wish mine had hit the mark. Take note, anyone who has had great Chinese food; this is not it. The items I ordered ranged from poor to decent, the prawn and pork dumplings I couldn't finish, not because I was too full but because of how stodgy and flavourless they were. Didn't taste of pork at all and the prawns were overcooked. Maybe the other dim sum options are much better? The beef noodles were nice, albeit under seasoned; I had to add a lot of soy sauce. One plus is that the portion was very large. Service was fine, slightly surprised they add a service charge for a solo diner at a spot like this. Overall nothing impressive, I wouldn't return, and the 5/5 reviews are baffling.

One of the best Chinese food . Small place but the food is Amazing weldone to the chefs and All the staff .

Authentic Chinese cuisine with a touch of home cook taste and friendly staff to serve you. Definitely worth a visit to satisfy your Chinese cuisine cravings 👍🏻

Delicious food cooked to perfection, and a pleasant atmosphere in a nice little restaurant. Good varied menu. Would definitely revisit!

Delicious food! Can’t have enough! They have a broad selection of dishes. For those who like it, they also have many spicy dishes.

Name change was Cantonese Taste, now BABA TANG, same chef just as good as first time. Totally authentic, delicious and friendly with a chef who takes pride in his cooking. I would be here every week if I lived nearby.

Delicious! Cozy and in an unexpected area. Packed for good reason. What a pleasure and reasonable for the high quality cooking!

I don't usually write google reviews but wanted to make an exception. Absolutely fantastic little Chinese restaurant - intimate setting, food was fresh and delicious and the service immaculate. The whole steamed sea bass and egg noodles were particular highlights. The host was very friendly and attentive. We walked in on a Wednesday eve and had no issues getting a table for 2. Will definitely be back!

My partner and I decided to try this because of the amazing reviews but were pretty disappointed. The food was alright, not amazing. The "spicy" tofu barely had any heat, the duck noodles were meh - everything was kind of meh. There is definitely better Cantonese in London. To add insult to injury I spent the entire evening sick after eating here. We informed the staff that I have a shellfish allergy and asked about how everything was prepared. Usually restaurants offer guidance on what is cooked in what oils etc. so we can make informed decisions. Our first clue should have been that the server just brushed us off - we were ordering chicken, duck, veggies, and tofu, no shellfish. I tried to push about how it was prepared but was waved off. We should have left then, honestly. That part is on us. The food wasn't good enough to get this sick over. Note to the restaurant: How you prepare your food is just as important as what is obviously in it. Also, not all allergies result in anaphylaxis (mine is severe gastrointestinal distress), but had this been someone with anaphylaxis it could have been so much worse. Don't wave your customers off.

Fresh and tasty food at a good price. We had chicken with ginger/spring onion sauce. Also pork dumplings and green beans with chili. All dishes were delicious.

I would prefer more variety of dim sum, but overall tasty and really friendly service.

Everything in this restaurant is disgusting. 4.8? Are you kidding me, non-Chinese people? Food hygiene rating is only 3. You can smell strong bleach. You can see the cook cooking in the kitchen and you don't want to eat anything any more. Everything in the restaurant looks like falling apart. Food is like basic Chinese takeaway. It's not expensive though.

As someone from Hong Kong, this place is authentic and amazing

Excellent food!! Between us we had a variety of dishes…chicken spring rolls, beef in black bean sauce, egg fried rice, hot and sour soup, and a gingery chicken dish. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Well worth a visit.

We ordered small plates of salt/pepper soft shelled crab, salt/pepper tofu, gelatinous rice in lotus leaf, and dim sum assortment with Chinese beer and tea. It was all outstanding. We took nothing home. It's a cozy place and a short walk from King's Cross. Service was quick and very attentive.

Fantastic restaurant, very small with a nice vibe. Host very friendly and the food was probably the best I have ever tasted from a Chinese Restaurant. Divine.

The sweet and sour pork at this restaurant is authentically prepared, with a perfect balance of crispy coating and juicy pork, complemented by the right balance of sweet and sour sauce that is not too sour to make people cough. It’s a standout dish that promises a return visit, perhaps to try the eight white steam crab.

It’s so delicious that I can’t even think of not writing a review, especially if you don’t order the crab sticky rice, you’ll regret it! Besides being delicious, it’s still delicious👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really nice, reasonable priced Canotonese meal. Managed to get a table for 2 as a walk-in at 7pm on a Friday. Staff really friendly, dumplings great. Would definitely go back to try more of the dumplings! Nice atmosphere & place was full as we left. Handy for Travelodge Farringdon (2 mins up the road).

We chose this after our other option fell through. I am very happy with our choice. They were very helpful and our food was delicious. I would be happy to order from here again. The dumplings were great and the crispy duck was amazing.

I was with my dog, so I ordered takeaway, but the atmosphere inside the restaurant looked intimate and personal. The food was delicious with very generous portions. Everything tasted fresh. I absolutely loved my dinner. Although I had to eat my dinner in my hotel room with my dog looking on, the taste, presentation, and quality of my meal was five 🌟 stars! Don't hesitate if you like authentic fresh aromatic Chinese food. I'm a discerning reviewer so trust me when I tell you that this is a must try restaurant when in the King's Cross area.

Went for my birthday with 9 friends and family. Lovely staff and the food is actually the best Chinese I have had outside Asia. Fresh and beautifully cooked. Recommended!

Perfect food after I finish work late at 10pm ☺️ loved the Stir-fried Beef River and Green Beans with Olive Vegetables!

Everything we ordered was amazing. Highly recommend the salt and pepper Squid, szechuan sliced beef, and the Malaysian curry beef clay pot

Amazing authentic food and excellent service!

This hidden gem at kings cross at Kings cross is Must try !! If not you will regret !! Chef is serious about his cooking. Glutatinous rice crab is something unusual and taste so great ! Must order in advance as it popular. Portion sizes is generous. Service staff are friendly. Looking forward to try something different the next visit!! Yum ....

Food was good, came in good time. Pricey for the portion size and quality. Busy place but relaxing atmosphere

A good place to go for Chinese Food near King Cross Station. Small place, good food.

Delicious authentic food in an quite ordinary place.

very nice canto food and good environment and service

Small fimily run restaurant. We ordered many different plates to share. One of the best dumplings Ive tried. All food was really nice and the waiter was very kind. I would defo recomend.

Absolutely amazing food, so authentic and delicious. The staff were so professional and very friendly. Everything cooked fresh to order and was served very promptly. The curry sauce actually had a decent kick to it. The Shanghai dumplings were the best I have ever had, for such a small restaurant I was so impressed could easily give any other Asian restaurant a run for their money. Highly recommend. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place.

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts and delicious dishes. recommended to everyone!

Ohhh why are not more people here than in over priced King’s Cross central? Food and service at Canton Taste is equal to Hong Kong! Such authentic Cantonese flavours! Highly recommend and will be back!

Wow. Food was delicious, staff was friendly. Very happy with our lunch.

Amazing food! Super quick food on the table. Really decent portion sizes and a good choice on the menu. Highly recommend.

En lite sted med.fantastisk god mat! Vi spiste et sett meny og det snakte nydelig :)

Blown away by the quality of this little place, h n s soup the best I have had. Nice staff too.

I never write reviews but this chinese was amazing. One of the best places i’ve been. The staff are so so friendly and caring compared to certain places in London. - Although there wasn’t many people in there 1 to 2 couples, (9:00PM), it was still a nice friendly feeling to be in there. The lady kept refilling my water after drinking it over and over. Extremely good price, AMAZING FOOD, wish i could try everything. Served with/in traditional asian bowls, cutlery and the option to use chopsticks as they’re already on the table to use. I just wished the music was on a little louder as it would have made the atmosphere, but nevertheless it was a “relaxing” place. My new favourite spot for when i come back to London!

Food is delicious, quick and good service. The crispy duck was excellent as well as all the dumplings and buns we ordered. The menu has a good variety so I will be back to try more items next time.

Better and quicker alternative to the over-hyped Dim Sum Duck across the street. Everything we ate was delicious. The service is typical for Chinese restaurant and not particularly friendly.

Was quiet (Monday night) but food was great and service fast and friendly.

Osjećaj originalnosti kulture i okusa. Brza usluga. Hrana dovoljno dobra. Svakako zanimljiva za nepce

[English version below] 推薦菜色： 口水雞、豬肚雞、炸大腸、夫妻肺片、蜜汁叉燒 上菜速度稍慢，但是辣食實在都做得蠻好吃的，店不大，人多（超過4人）的話建議先電話確認是否有位置，店家可以協助安排。除了合菜，也有乾炒牛河等適合單人享用的品項。價格中價位，不是特別便宜，但也沒有到貴，炒菜部分某些品項份量比較少。 Recom spicy dishes and chicken& pork stomach hot pot in this restaurant. Apart from stir fry and single dishes with rice, the restaurant also offers noodle/fried rice menu. The service is a bit slow but the food is good, in spite of smaller sizes of some dishes. I will not call this place expensive but it is certainly not cheap. The dining area is not very spacious. If you are going with over 4 people, it’s a good idea to give the restaurant a phone call on advance to check the capacity.

A small, very warm, very friendly, cosy place with authentic Cantonese flavours! Went for lunch and had a dim sum platter, ho fun noodles with chicken & bbq pork with honey glaze. The food was fantastic, the service was top star and the prices fair for the location. Would visit again!

每一道菜都很好吃，我們點了蛋炒飯、牛肉炒麵、椒塩雞塊、清炒雜菜👍👍👍

Stumbled across this place when we got in late to London and were struggling to find somewhere open at 10pm on a Tues night. The staff here are all so lovely, friendly, happy and welcoming. Food was delicious!!

As a Cantonese person, this place is legit. Fast service, fab food.

On a whim, we decided to have a late dinner and ordered 19 dumplings. To our pleasant surprise, they were absolutely delicious! The taste far exceeded our expectations, and we were delighted by the quality of each dumpling. We would definitely love to visit again in the future. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience!

Super damn good, restaurant owner talks to you and food is amazing

Delicious. Fast service. Excellent crispy duck, generous portions.

some dishes are very nice, small restaurant

Good Cantonese food!!! And price is reasonable

We had a fantastic time with our family. Excellent food clearly prepared on order, authentic taste that revived memories of previous visits to Sichuan and Canton. We have long been looking for a reliable Chinese restaurant in the area: our search is finally over! Friendly service and kitchen staff too. Thank you!

Just perfect. Authentic, great taste, big portions. Like!

Woow Very surprised it's very good Chinese food, very kind people, well served and clean.

This restaurant isn't in my neighbourhood. Visited for the first time last night. All dishes were surprisingly good. Obviously the chef was quite capable. Definitely will come again.

炸大肠和猪肚鸡还真不错诶！我一个不爱吃大肠的都觉得还挺不错！点心的蒸粿还不错，奶黄包也ok但这两个都蒸过了一些。其他就是一般水平吧，感觉更多是做老外生意，店里几乎都是歪果仁。

Everything was excellent! Definitely some of the best Chinese food I’ve had and comes with nice, friendly service and a very reasonable price. The dim sum was particularly tasty

Meh average. Beans didn’t have much texture and crunch. They did not have the dish that was advertised outside.

Delicious, authentic Cantonese and Sichuan food and friendly staff. The black fungus was one of the best I've had

Dim sum is great, but the vegetable dish is not authentic at all. 13.8£ + 10% for monks vegetable I expected at least some fermented tofu and some glasses noodle.. or fuchuk (bean curd skin) turns out it’s just mainly broccoli and carrot in soy sauce. When I pointed out this to the lady boss, she was defensive saying she “saw” in the kitchen, the chef added fermented tofu. I asked her to look at the dish, and it’s just soy sauce. It’s impossible as she’s front of house. I said I’m ok if she uses more fermented tofu. she just said it’s going to be salty if she adds the fermented tofu. I said ok. I expected her to change the dish or something… Later in the kitchen I heard, she asked the chef if she did put fermented tofu… need I say more? She fry the same vege with more fermented bean curd (but initially it won’t be filled with soy sauce!!!!) so the vege ended up being overcook.. It would be nice if she could offer to swap for a dish or something . And the water is never refilled… They also charged up £0.50 + 10% service for a glasses of Hot Water…..

No-frills, authentic, Chinese restaurant. Food was well-cooked and the flavours were amazing. 5/5 would return. Prices are very reasonable too.

Molto buono, piccante ma molto buono

Bon resto cantonnais. Nourriture de qualité Et très bonnes portions!! Personnel agréable.

Had new year dinner at this place cause the chef was famous from Chinatown. Food was a delight so was the service
