House of Canton in Wolverhampton

Avoid if you want anything gluten free. If you have celiac disease or an intolerance.. They lie to you... Went out as a family of 12. Had my celiac daughter with us, who wasn't going to eat. But they guaranteed us they could do chicken satay gluten free. And that the chips are cooked seperatley from everything else. When they bought the two chicken satay out as her dad had ordered the same. I asked which one is gluten free. The girl looked at me confused. So I asked again which is the gluten free one. Neither staff knew. So bought both dishes back to the kitchen to confirm. They came back out a few minutes later and said both were gluten free. I then asked are you 100% sure. She answered yes. So they tucked in. I'm sure you know what I'm going to say next. Yes my daughter was very poorly. Pain, bad stomach, numerous toilet trips. And won't heal now for 3 to 6 months. So yes she had been glutend. So not only did they lie. They guaranteed us from the start that she can eat as they can do gluten free. Like I said. She wasn't going to eat from there. We were ordering her pizza from pizza hut round the corner. But because they GUARANTEED us 100% we stupidly trusted them. So if anyone has an intolerance to gluten or celiac disease Do NOT trust this restaurant. We will never go again. The service was all over the place as well. We didn't all eat together waiting on dishes. You get the rice and chips. And wait ages for the main dish to come out. By that time you've nearly finished your rice and chips. As you don't want them going cold. They keep coming back every 5 mins to see if you've finished to rush you out aswell. So overall absolutely awful. As they guaranteed the gluten free food. Not happy at all. Nearly 300 quid and now my child is suffering.

I’ve been to this location the first time. I really enjoyed my time and the food was also great. Staff was really nice and interactive.

The service is very fast and friendly" and I REALLY like food in this restaurent .

Very nice service, great food will be back

Great food and friendly service! The flavours are authentic, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is cosy. Highly recommend their dumplings and noodle dishes!

We having been going for many years and never had a bad meal. The food is amazing and always tastes fresh.

i eaten food here many times. food always amazing and service very good , polite . Sure will visit again for having my favourite dishes sizzling beef , shredded chicken , salt and paper chicken wings really all food lovely .. I recommend to everyone visit and try delicious chinese food. Thanks.

Great place. 7 of us for 7.30 were treated wonderfully although very busy at the time. Food was delicious and came as and when we wanted each course and so much of it! Would recommend to anyone. Will be going again very soon

🤮 Disgusting overpriced junk. Have the personnel in this junk hole ever eaten genuine Chinese food? No wonder your google reviews are horrible similar to your “food” which I doubt my dog will like. Never again

We have eaten here for many years. Last night we had a table of 13 for 3 birthdays and it was a disaster. We booked for 5:30 and we're seated. We ordered by 6. The starters took and hour to come and came at various times. By 8.30pm, not all of the mains had been received. One of the party had to leave. Other tables also walked out. The staff could be heard arguing and the atmosphere was awful. We won't go back

Arrived for a 5:30 booking, 13 covers, first in, drinks ordered, all ok. Food order taken at around 6:15, then the wait began. Couple of meals came out about 7:30 but still waiting for completion at 8:00 even though other tables were served well before, confusion reigned over what had and hadn't been served to our party. Other customers abandoned because of the wait. All in all a poor dining experience and no more custom from myself. Shame really as the food was of a good standard.

Large party attended tonight, after three hours I walked out after not receiving main courses or any kind of explanation as to why the service was so appallingly slow. I wouldn't return if it was free.

I have eaten here before and the food is always lovely and the service ., Last night I went and must say it’s the worst food and service I received. I am not sure if the current owners are away . Very disappointing . There was no table cloth on our table . The boy that served us wasn’t at all pleasant . There was food left on other tables not cleared away . I had to ask for knifes & forks plus napkins . If this was my first visit I certainly wouldn’t be returning again .

Absolutely superb place to visit for excellent food the staff were amazing and very welcoming, the restaurant was more busy than a cucumber in a women’s prison, however we had a superb time here and definitely enjoyed it

Having been to this restaurant several times before and having pre booked it upon arrival was informed that it was cash only and no card payments l wasn't told this when booking by phone.To be honest the ambience and decor including the tables/tablecloths looked quite in need of replacements. The lady who took our orders was pleasant the drinks came and we ordered starters Spring rolls / chicken skewers, the latter was hard, chewy and difficult to remove from the skewer either over cooked or been on the skewer for some time. Before the main courses arrived we was attended to by staff that looked very young and hadn't got a clue on how to serve at a table, items of cutlery were dropped on the table in a pile, heated trays were placed on top of each other and the table presentation was a total mess. The food itself was OK not the best by far small pieces of meat plenty of sauce but edible. After the meal was finished we did have to leave the table to get the bill although there was no one else in the restaurant and although there was only four of us the bill was quite expensive and you got the impression they wanted you to leave so they could lock up albeit only 9.30pm. Although we have always enjoyed a visit here over the years after tonight l think we will try somewhere else as it was a disappointing culinary experience and we all agreed we didn't enjoy the evening at all, l do hope the proprietors can re establish the standard they used to have because l think other guests may be of the same opinion as we all were,

Superb food, superb service although other patrons didn’t appreciate us having a good time, they must he been from Tetten-hall

Food was great, service brilliant surroundings a bit basic, not an issue for me, would definitely go back.

This was absolutely the worst dining experience ever!! It completely ruined my family dinner!! I'd taken out my family, party of 5 - for Father's day, and also to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary.. We booked at table at 6pm, and arrived on time. We told the server when we arrived that my mother was diabetic and needed to have 10 mins notice before eating so that she could take her insulin. We were advised we would be waiting 25 mins for food. By 8pm, almost 2 hrs after bing seated - we were absolutely starving and had only received our starters. I complained, only to be told the main course would still be another 45 minute wait!!! What kind of Chinese restaurant takes almost 3 hours to serve one table of 5 people?!?! The restaurant was not even full, it was literally half empty. We left hungry with no dinner with no real apology or resolution. I paid for the starters and drinks which came to £69. I am absolutely furious that they completely ruined my families celebration. We will NOT return, and I would urge anyone else not to bother either.

What a disappointment. Booked for our daughters birthday for 6p.m.We were rushed to order but our starter arrived 90 minutes later and that was because I complained.We waited another 45 minutes with no sign of mains arriving.We decided to leave paying the bill with a 10% reduction and an apology of being short staffed and very busy with take away.Surely bums on seats pay the bills.....very disappointing. Sue James

Meal booked for our family at 6.00pm Absolutely awful service Had to complain no starter which finally arrived about 7.15 pm after being told my wife was on insulin and diabetic and needed to know just before food was arriving for her injection 7.45 our main course still hadn't arrived and the table behind us had been waiting, they had been told they would have to wait 45 mins to an hour . We decided to leave pay our bill for starters and drinks . Never again will we be going here for our family meal completely ruined fathers day

Like stepping back into the 1970s. Although some fake blossom and fairy lights added it looked tired and cheap. 1 adult and 2 children with just a main course and a drink costing over £70. Nice enough food but not worth the price. Expected Basil Fawlty or Manuel to appear.

Best Chinese in Wolverhampton. Ever since I’ve started eating in the restaurant there is no going back! Top food & staff

I never leave reviews, especially about food but I don’t think I will eat a Chinese the same again. This was the worst Chinese I have ever had. The chicken came on top of the chow mein and chicken fried rice. It was overpriced, which we wouldn’t have minded paying if it was actually edible. The pancakes were ok. We were missing a couple of items. It was just plain awful. Sorry

We arrived on a busy Saturday evening. Welcome on arrival was nice and friendly. We ordered a set meal at £25/ head. The starter yuk sung came in under 15 minutes and was ok, a bit salty for my taste. Sadly all went downhill and we didn't get our mains until after almost an hour we had to complain. "Kitchen very busy" yes but why did two tables who came in after us get their food well before we eventually had ours. The food : mediocre, sweet and sour chicken was in batter that was almost inedible. Rest of meal disappointed. Will not return!

I’ve never ordered a takeaway so i cannot speak about the service on that end however the restaurant is brilliant. We always a one for family meals, been coming here for a few years. Food is very fresh and piping hot when it arrives. Slightly on the more expensive side but the portion sizes are good and food is delicious. Not too long of a wait for food.

Never had a bad meal here the staff are amazing at what they do

First time visiting this place,omg what a terrible experience. Sat down ordered our drinks which was fine,they came,then waited and waited for service in the end had to find a waitress to say we were ready to order. We asked the waitress what was in some of the food and she hadn't a clue and looked stressed,ordered food and waited 45 minutes for it to arrive, then the fun began we sat and watched has the waitresses served food to the wrong people, the older waitress shouted at one customer saying he was served the wrong food and not to touch it,I have never witnessed such appalling service.when our main eventually turned up we was given the wrong food when they realised they took it off us and gave it the table behind(shocking)an hour we waited for our main which was served in bits.i can honestly say I have never eaten at a place like this..I have never experienced such poor service has I did here tonight,we were served by staff who hadn't got a clue what they were doing,they were miserable, unhelpful and rude.andcto top it off they put a service charge on the bill which we refused to pay.when we went to pay the man who took the money was as horrible has his staff.food very Bland and overpriced. I speak has I find and if your good you will get a good review but this place, there is nothing good .

Food was good but the service was shockingly bad with food arriving over 1hr after ordering it. Cannot cope with a full restaurant with the small amount of staff they have.

Booked for a party of 12 and paid £60 deposit two weeks ago, Arrived on time but service was chaotic. Some of us were still waiting for meals TWO hours later, When I checked the bill they had "fotgotten" to deduct the deposit. Merely an oversight, I'm sure. Will not be back.

Lovely meal, delicious food and great set menu options. Service was excellent too.

Been coming here for years and tonight was the first time they have put a service charge on the bill. Had to get this removed. We always leave a good tip but not being forced into it by putting it on bill. Can't fault the food but this change has put us right off. Disappointed.

Food was delicious. Would recommend and would eat here again.

The best Chinese resturant in Wolverhampton by far, never had a bad meal , family love it , food is always fresh and tasty, service is fast and friendly, very reasonably priced for the quality!

Very poor service. Not welcoming at all, in fact the staff were extremely rude. Not usually a person to post bad reviews but this needed to be the exception. Wouldn't recommend to dine in at all. Go to Minhs instead to dine in

Food was amazing, staff friendly and welcoming

Went here for the first time today, the food was lovely. Came out really quick & we finished every last bit. It’s one we’ve been meaning to go to for ages as it’s so close to us & we finally did & loved it. Will definitely go back again 👌🏾

Sadly have to give one star all round, have been ordering from here for years but unfortunately I found a long black hair in my food. Hair nets should be worn at all times in the kitchen to prevent this.

Ordered our first takeaway yesterday. It was amazing. Dishes were fresh and meat dishes were not filled with chunky vegetables like some other places. This is our new local Chinese!! Keep up the great work.

Food was tasty, service was very good

First time using this Chinese Takeaway, I really enjoyed the food, I asked for the special curry and Singapore chow mein to be extra spicy 🌶️ and it was it was lovely, the bbq spare ribs were good too I will be back for sure. Thanks!

Brilliant food very welcoming staff

Came in with a group of friends and had a great experience. Service was very friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. We had a set meal, and everything served was very tasty and generous portions.

Absolute best Chinese curry I've had for a long time quality of the ingredients were top notch portions are good size lady serving us was lovely will definitely be eating here again

Awesome food, friendly staff and a great location

I always use this takeaway, always lovely food apart from the prawn crackers are a little hard.

Never been here before, but came with my sister who recommended it. We had the set menu for 4 and were amazed at the amount of food that kept appearing, the service was friendly and the food was delicious.

Excellent tasty food. Thank you

Food was nice. Meal for 2 waa a little small - other places give more and complementary prawn crackers!!!

Just went for a birthday celebration for my niece there were 14 of us , the service was excellent and the food was amazing we had a fantastic time , we took birthday cake with us and they lit the candles and bought us all plates so we could have some , could not fault anything

designing food and very bad attitude ,07 01 2023 RATS ,,

Just moved to the area love a Chinese never eaten a Chinese and still felt hungry after very small portion for the very expensive price

Lovely food and staff. Fast service. Thank you. Would recommend.

Excellent food great service fairly priced .

Great food. Friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed a Jolly meal here.

Great food!!! Very tasty, good portions, will definitely return.

Vile food worst ever not taste tasted like leftovers worst Chinese I've ever had

UPDATE. July 8th. Tonight we had our usual and what a shock. NEW PRICES SO CHECK BEFORE ORDERING. My special curry meal has gone up £1.65 and now £7.50 Normaly our two meals £11.70 and now £14.70 so you have been warned. You've now Lost our custom. sorry.

Another very good take away from the House of Canton. Love the sesame prawn toast and the pork yuk sung. Excellent service, order always ready and correct. Would thoroughly recommend.

Friendly staffs - £££ price for the food which could have been better. We have tried various places so the quality of the food could have been better . No complaints but make sure to pre book your table before visit. (Make sure to say the exact numbers of people visiting- coz even if one extra person trying to hop on board- they will not take it easy) Okayish food.

I have been visiting The House of Canton for nearly 30 years now. For some reason we haven't been for a long time. If anything the food is even more amazing than I remember. It's one of those restaurant's you keep thinking about the food for the next few days. Trust me well worth a visit.

Excellent food excellent service every time

The food is amazing and the service incredible, totally recommended!

Went for my birthday meal today and couldn't fault the service or the food. Food was lovely, piping hot and we didn't have to wait long for it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. No request was too much for them and when we told them it was my birthday, they gave me a free drink of Baileys! My parents and I have been to this restaurant for many years and have always had a lovely time. Definitely recommend!

Good food to eat in with a takeaway next door. Very popular

Very nice meal but limited post COVID menu

Excellent service and excellent food. Great night. Thanks House of Canton.

Excellent service and very good food

Pleasant surroundings and helpful staff.

Excellent food, has chicken sizzler satay and it was gorgeous

Hidden Gem! We actually dropped on here because the 'all you can eat' restaurants were fully booked and we were more than pleasantly surprised. Excellent service and authentic vibes and fantastic food. Between us all we had a mixture of starters and mains, every single one was of excellent quality. Fresh, rich and incredibly tasty! The satay sauce was the best I've ever tasted and I've tried many. We travelled quite a way from Rugeley and will definitely return.

The service is extremeley nice. They were quick and stuff were very good. The sweet and sour chicken, and the singapore fried rice was amazing. Would highly reccomend

Great food and excellent service 👌

Food and flavouring is always so amazing, but I don't know why or how they have changed the chicken dishes... I always have ordered mushroom and chicken curry, flavour ect is always spot on but they have changed the way they cook the chicken... Im nota fan and have stopped ordering this dish for this reason. Also the cantonise style chicken isnt the nicest.. Flavour ect is amazing but the chicken isnt the nicest. I'm sorry I had to leave this review but from somewhere I have always ordered from it has recently gone down hill.

This is my local Chinese restaurant and I want to support it but I wont be ordering from them again in a hurry. Had a takeaway from there at the weekend and it wasn't great - i'm not going to say it was awful as its probably similar to lot of Chinese takeways in the area but the chicken was really odd - who knows how they cooked it but it didn't look like the stir fried chicken I was expecting from an Oriental stir fry. Parts of the meal were satisfying because when are crunchy spring rolls and prawn toast (aka fried bread with prawn flavour) not but it pretty much tasted like every other Chinese takeaway i've had for the last 20 years - it all just tastes the same even after asking for no MSG. I think its about time we asked for more from these restaurants. I know the food is cheap so what do we expect but i'd rather pay more for something fresher and tastier. Maybe its just me. Rant over. By the way the chips were great..........what is it about chips from a Chinese restaurant!

Always enjoyed food here and hate giving bad reviews but so disappointed with the service and food we received .. ordered early 5:20 so an hour went past no food an hour and half no food, gave a call just to check we hadn't been forgotten to be told our order was on its way.. 40 minutes later decided to call again to be put on hold while they rang delivery driver then was told be there soon.. delivery driver couldn't find address as he pulled up twice outside and drove off! Finally our food arrives cold! But were hungry so ask if a almost 3 hour wait would get us some discount? £12 off but had chicken balls missing and our food was awful , chicken curry so greasy , chips were soggy as was spring rolls.. such ashame as we have always recommended but we will never return as customers again!!

Really don’t like leaving bad reviews anywhere but I feel like I have to write something. The food tastes stale and like it had been reheated, there’s no taste to any of the food it’s very bland, even the curry sauce. I think it’s a shame as it looks like a lovely place and the staff are really friendly but unfortunately I won’t be returning.

Just gone back to where we used to order before just eat appeared. Soooo glad we did food still fantastic and quickly delivered. We are back !!

Really Nice Food Hot on Delivery the Staff on the Phone are Polite and Helpful and the Delivery Driver is also Very Polite too

Had our food delivered, right on time. Food was hot and cooked to perfection. Oriental special curry and chicken curry best we’ve ever had, will definitely go back again and again

great food every time! very tasty always hot fresh and quick

Sunday buffet was delicious as usual

Great shop. Great food. Great staff too, who respect their customers. Will recommend!

We hadn't been here for a while but will be going more often from now on. The food was amazing top quality ingredients and I have to say it was the best Chicken Curry ever! And ive tried a lot! Loads of chicken breast and the sauce was delicious could not fault it - lovely staff and very reasonably priced a little gem.

I have just had the worst take away Chinese ever

We've always had our Friday night takeaway from here and never had problem however last night we thought we'd try something different and had the Cantonese sweet and sour chicken never again the chicken was so dry and over cooked it was like chewing wood we couldn't even swallow it. Never again will I order food from here again.

I'm not always a fan of the ‘all you can eat’ buffet, but this Sunday and Monday evening extravaganza is good. We were four, and each was very satisfied with our meal from starters to deserts.I have been a visitor on many occasions and had the a la carte, and always been very happy with the food.It doesn’t offer the most glamorous surroundings, but compensates with good service.

Best chinese in wolves!... excellent and super fast service lovely and friendly staff especially Ken who loves to chat! Could do with abit of a interior face lift but other than that defo reccomend to everyone i know.

Amazing food, good people, quick delivery. Perfect

Friendly staff and prompt service. A varied menu to suit all tastes in a nice atmosphere. Have resolved to try the Sunday Buffet on our next visit

Good, but fairly standard Chinese meal. Would go again.

First time trying. Everyone impressed. The Yuk Shung was superb as was the special fried rice. Starter of satay chicken was massive. Family impressed by Chow Mein

Never changes awesome takeaway for last 25 years and still brilliant

The buffet is not vast. About 8 main meal choices, eggfried rice and noodles. 10 starter choices. Ice cream, cheesecake, sweets and fruit. The sweet and sour chicken was lovely. Main gripe not a lot to choose from if your vegetarian,

Very disappointing - bland & tasteless food & stale prawn crackers - avoid !!!

Always good food and friendly staff 😊

Originally when trying first time 4 months ago very good but last 2 orders recently quite poor

Amazing food x great quality. We love the duck rolls, yuck sung and kids love love love the puddings, sweets and ice cream. Thank again for a fab meal. We go here alot and would defiantly recommend x

We went to house of canton with family would recommend to anyone who likes Chinese food staff are very friendly Ken is very friendly too

It's time going here . Was recommended by my daughter. Have to say well worth going. Food was constantly fresh and hot .staff were on the ball

Bit dearer than most, but worth the money. Buffet on Sundays very good value
