Canton Express

Best chicken wings ever!!! I’m 27 and I remember having these party wings since I was in grade school. My family, extended family, aaaand co-​workers come here especially for the fried chicken wings.
. Every single birthday or family gathering we’ve had, there was always at least two «long» trays of these chicken wings. We have a potluck coming up at work this week. Guess what I’m bringing

I don’t know how and why this place is so highly rated but I walked in and wanted to leave immediately. I didn’t bother getting anything. The food were the remainder piles and looked dried up and shriveled. Others were sitting in 3 inches of oil. This was at 2PM on a Saturday afternoon too.

Fried chicken wings-​is what they are famous for.
Thick crispy batter salt pepper style with jalapeños.
Fresh and crispy makes you keep eating and can’t stop.
(However when cold it tastes a bit greasy but still crispy.)
Bring a bucket of wings to your next potluck or party it is sure to be a hit. Very affordable. I’ve purchased already on 2 separate occasions!

5 stars for their chicken wings. A favorite friend of ours brought these over one night and everyone kept asking «where did you get these delicious chicken wings?» The very next day I craved another order and drove straight here to pick me up some wings… Large, please! Didn’t try anything else, but I might.

My first and last time I come to this restaurant. It was a horrible experience. The food looked appetizing the lady who served me was nice. I chose to eat in and this is when it all happened. I started to eat my food and the chow main taste like it was a day old. My spice fish was cold and my chicken was cold and slimy. On top of that the place had flies on the window seal. Im not the one to put down businesses but I think this one should be looked over twice.

Been here 4 times in the past month.
1^st time we ordered the chicken wings from the takeout menu. When my wife and I got the wings, it was piping hot and we ate 2 and decided to order another box.
2^nd time we ordered wings from the take out menu and the lady must have threw in a few pieces from the steam table cause they were dried and not as fresh as the rest of the box.
3^rd time we order a short tray of wings for $ 30 and it was really good.
4^th time, my wife picked up a box and it was just dried and barely seasoned.

Yum! Bomb chicken wings! The lady is so nice. Ordered a small party tray of wing to-​go and made fresh in 15 min.

I love this place! Their chicken is bomb! I always krder my chicken here and recommends it to my family and friends!!!

There’s only one thing good here: CHICKEN WINGS! We always order these to parties and get togethers. They are finger lickin good! Don’t bother with any of the other items on the warming tray.

I usually don’t write reviews on Unilocal but it has to be known that this place has the BEST spicy fried chicken! I always order a tray whenever there is a party, fight night, or nfl sundays. I never had a problem with the food and it is just like any authentic chinese restaurant. One thing I don’t understand is how is it possible the food is this cheap?! Simply amazing. And the staff is extremely nice and professional. something you don’t really see at chinese restaurants

I ate here this Friday and have been sick with diarrhea and fever. An acute case of food poisoning was what I was told by the MD. These people need to close down. Scary.

My wife had the string bean chicken on ¹⁰⁄₂₃ afternoon and fell sick immediately afterwards with vomiting and diarrhea. She is still recovering.
I wish restaurant mgmt would enforce cleanliness and hygiene standards… getting sick is no fun.

I always come here for there fried chicken. There other food is ok but I never order it. I usually get party trays of fried chicken. The owner is very friendly. You must try there fried chicken!

Hidden? Yes.
Many people know about it? No.
Crack chicken wings? Yes!!!
Canton is a hidden treasure located in San Leandro. I first heard about it recently from my boyfriend’s mom because she brought home a whole tray of THE chicken wings. My oh my… I was lost for words because it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. A combination of onion, chili oil, and garlic… straight perfection. These chicken wings were unlike any I’ve tasted before.
Anyhoo, my advice is to go to Canton and order a tray of chicken wings. You won’t regret it ;).
Tip: Remember to call in advance to place your order because they run out at times.

Went here after multiple raves about their chicken wings.
I have to say I was quite disappointed. I ordered a larger box of wings, and was super excited. However when I got home, these were so salty and greasy! I wrapped a napkin around 1 wing just to see how much oil would get absorbed, and was quite disgusted. My close friend who frequents this place told me the wings aren’t usually that greasy for her… Maybe it was just my batch, who knows.

Why does this place have THAT many stars?
Walked in, looks clean. I ordered the 1 item combo for $ 6.50. As I watched her put my food in the to-​go container I asked «is that all your gonna give me?» She said yeah! I got visibly irritated and almost walked out. But I told her all I wanted was more food. The portions here are like those of a French restaurant. I thought this was Chinese food! Usually Chinese food places serve you up a good portion but this place uh uh. They said «it’s a recession!» (They didn’t actually say that to me) lol
I was just ready to pay and I’m told that there’s a $ 10 minimum for debit. So as I’m walking out the door (final straw) she says I can make an exception if you get the two item combo for $ 7.50 so I said fine.
Lord Jesus… SMH
I get to work to eat and this is what I got… (See picture)
As I walked away she says «$ 10 minimum next time» girl please. Hahahahahaha #neveragain

After a successful Nike Outlet run, I’m starving.
I was referred this place to have the BEST chicken wings. As I arrive to the place, I LOL’ED. I didn’t expect it to be a fast food take out place. I’m not judging, I’ll still go :)
You order in 2, 3, or 4 item combos. They have the items on the steam kitchen for you to choose from (picture Panda Express). Anyhow, I settle for fried rice, curry chicken, and chicken wings (they only give you 3 pieces).
The place is small, however, they do have limited seats available.
Fried rice, meh.
Curry chicken, meh.
Fried chicken wings, OMGOODNESS.
As other reviewers have mentioned, chicken wings are probably the best to get. As I was eating, I saw many people ordered catering for it.
Highly recommend for parties to get your chicken wings here! :)

This is not a sit-​down restaurant. There are no tables and only three or four stools at the counter facing out the windows. This restaurant is primarily a take-​out place with a steam table where you can order one or two items with steamed rice, fried rice or chow mein for a reasonable price.
The ONE thing that really stands out here (and the reason I’m giving them such a high rating) are the Salt & Pepper Deep Fried Chicken Wings. Those things are like crack (or Doritos or Lays’, whatever). You can’t have just one. They’re good from the steam table but they’re best when you order more than what’s in the steam table and they make a fresh batch for you. Hot, crispy, salty, spicy, moist yummy wings!
They do have a menu where you can order a few other dishes and they seem to do a decent business with party trays. In terms of wings, a small tray is about 40 pieces and a large is about 80 pieces. Just call a day in advance to ensure that your order is ready when you want to pick it up.

This is just based on the chicken wings.
Based on other reviews I drove over and asked for the wings that were on the steam table.
6.95 for about 8 wing segments. Flats in my case. Crispy flour batter. But tasted like fish.
Chicken was a little dry.
Won’t be back.

I picked up the combo meal with wings, orange chicken and half chow mein and half fried rice.
The food was lukewarm which was a turn off right at the beginning. The wings were OK but the rest was not that good. The chow mien and fried rice were meh. The orange chicken was chewy and I did not like the flavor. I can see how the fried chicken would be good when it is hot but the rest, I don’t think the temperature would make them taste better.
The lady who works seems nice and I wish her well but I won’t be back.
