Canton Cafe

I have been going to the Canton since I was a kid. The food is still the best ever! The egg rolls are huge and stuffed with shrimp, chicken and lots of bean sprouts, then deep fried! Served with coctail sauce, hot mustard and seeds! Canton Chow mein has lots of veggies and is awesome! The décor is old and outdated but to all of us that grew up here it’s what makes it special ! You’ve got to try the BBQ pork! They do it themselves! If you are wanting soup try the Wanton! It has Bok Choy, Water chestnuts, little corn, and lots of wantons in a tasty broth. No it may not be Fukiyama but Fuki yama wasn’t started by the same family in 1920 and still ran by them! Thanks everyone at the Canton for all the great food and memories:)

I have the number 14 combination the almond chicken with sweet and sour sauce. I used to live here 3 years ago and I would come in here after I got off late at work and the food tastes exactly the same absolutely amazing as I see them so many Unilocal reviews so many people come into a place to be fed and the first thing they do is Judge with their eyes the one thing that you cannot do in life is that you must judge with your taste buds and with your soul I brought my wife here for the first time ever and she is amazed at the quality of and flavor of the food staff was absolutely amazing friendly and helpful very quick to get us our orders back to the table tea was hot overall definitely coming back and bringing people with me

This is a place my parents used to go to late night when I was a kid and they are still cranking out great food! The fried rice is served as it should be — with green onions and sliced bbq pork. I LOVE the egg rolls. They are huge and have a strong mix of veggies and baby shrimp inside, with a super crispy shell.
The restaurant is definitely a «hole in the wall» so don’t expect a fancy place — the bathroom still has the pull down continuous towel thing you don’t see anywhere anymore and there is a real working jukebox by the cashier.

We ordered the Beef and Broccoli, Chow Mein and the egg rolls. The egg rolls were great, it would have been great to get some sweet and sour sauce to go with them, but they just included some spicy ketchup and soy sauce.
The Beef and Broccoli was more broccoli and veggies with a tiny amount of beef. For the price we paid, I expected there to be more beef. The beef were tiny little pieces, so when eating a bite of it, it was easy to miss. The broccoli was cooked great, and we enjoyed the other veggies in the dish, just disappointed about the amount of beef.
The chow mein with soft noodles was okay. I know this is a traditional way of serving it in some restaurants, but other restaurants do it a little differently, so we weren’t sure what to expect. Some of us in the family enjoyed it, some of us did not, I think it was more a personal preference in the way they prepared it.

Love Canton! Oldest business in Aberdeen and the people are great! Have never been disappointed.

I’ve been going here since I was a kid and I love the food.
If you haven’t been here, get the fried rice, sweet and sour spear ribs, chow mein, and EGG ROLL!!!
They also have a good variety of candy options at the cashier and you can play any of your favorite oldies songs on the jukebox

The service — the waitresses are very Aberdeen-​esque. Lol but very attentive and polite.
The ambiance — ghetto. Nothing matches, everything seems old and cheap. But you can’t really expect much more from Aberdeen.
The food — I ordered what I always do at chinese restaraunts, general tsos chicken. I wasn’t expecting it to be 5 star food. And it wasnt, but it wasn’t bad at all. It was actually quite tasty. The chicken breading was very good and crispy. The sauce was sweet and spicy, but the rice was just cheap white rice, nothing fancy.
I’ve gone here a few times because I’m from Montesano. But I don’t LOVE this place.

«Friend rice» was minute rice with soy sauce on it. Egg flower soup tasted like sea water, couldn’t even get it down. Almost no meat on their ribeyes, gross soggy vegetables, stale crackers… Just awful. Worst place we’ve ever eaten.
They have good egg rolls.

Great Place to eat! Love the food! The tall red head who works there is very friendly!

I can’t believe the Canton only has 3 stars overall. Then I read the reviews and several were down on the place because it’s not vegan. The don’t advertise as vegan and most restaurants around here aren’t vegan. I can’t see downgrading a restaurant for something that they don’t claim to be. Makes no sense to me.
Service is always nice and friendly. The place has had the same décor for the 50+ years I’ve been eating here and I love it this way. I hope it never changes because it just adds to the historic value of this old restaurant, which will be 100 years old in 2020. It’s not fancy but that’s part of the charm.
The food is great, portion sizes are generous, and the breading they use is divine. Get the egg rolls! Really, get them. They are huge and packed with good veggies, shrimp and more. I always grab an order of them extra so I can eat them the next day for lunch. Superb!
There are other good Chinese restaurants around here but the Canton will always be my first choice and my favorite.

Every time I am in the area, I have to get my Canton egg roll fix. No one makes a better egg roll!

I Love this place! The staff is friendly and so is the owner, they remember our order and I’ve never had a bad meal there.

Canton has a variety of menu options. Everyone in my family felt the food was OK… not great… not bad. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Glasses had spots all over them. Seating is all wood booths (very lacking in the comfort area). Servers & kitchen staff were very loud in the back which made for a less then enjoyable visit.

Not even vegan-​friendly in the least. Get with the program peeps! (smart) People are evolving!

Nice place. Good food. Generous portions and the American food options satsify me whiney kids who don’t want Chinese.

Canton has always been one of my favorite places in Grays Harbor for Shrimp Fried Rice! I’ve always enjoyed everything I’ve eaten here. They’re always really friendly too. But yes, it’s an old place. In fact, it’s been there since 1920! In my opinion, no restaurant can last THAT long unless they have GREAT food and service to match.
So yes, the décor might not be worth writing home about, and it may feel small inside, but I don’t go there to look around, I go there to eat. And I’ve always left satisfied and smiling.

I wanted to like Canton Café. But though it was quaint and historical, there was not one vegetarian or vegan item on the large menu so we were forced to leave. The server didn’t even offer a special dish to meet our needs. No thanks.
