Canton Seafood Restaurant

Authentic Cantonese food. The service varies, but that’s all part of the Cantonese experience!

Very authentic Chinese cuisine. Went on thanksgiving day 2015. A lot of the restaurants were closed around the area. Don’t expect much service we just ordered our food, ate and left. Really enjoyed the seafood noodle and abalone congee.

The customer service here is awesome! We ordered won ton funn on soup, egg flower soup and look funn in soup. Everything is perfect! Great taste, atmosphere and friendly, efficient staff! Prices are decent too. Definitely love this place!

This was a pretty good meal. The location was a little sketchy but during the daytime it was fine. We got duck, pork, eggplant, and tofu. The food came pretty quickly which was nice. My main complaint was that everything was very spicy. I think I definitely went over my daily sodium count. I’m still thirsty. Also, the amount of the main meal (we got the lunch portion) was pretty minimal. It was about a few pieces of meat and then the rest of the plate was sauce and rice.
They also charged 15% tip automatically which I did not appreciate.
Overall, it was pretty tasty.

Been here on Friday order Shanghai udon fried noodles found a long fingernails in my noodles when I chewing in my mouth Soo gross & yucky never ever come back this restaurant again … Check ur food B4 u eat. :(

i have decide it to try this place since i live very close to this restaurant. i saw the sign that has 4.99 for crispy chicken.
When i walk in this restaurant it was almost empty, that wasn’t a great sign but since i’m here i decide it order it.
i order crispy gaugee cake noodle and food came out quite fast. i order it to go and i brought it home. when i open my food i didn’t have crispy gaugee. OMG how can they forget my main dish? i called the restaurant and they said the cook forgot to put it in my food. i had to walk all the way back and grab the gaugee. by the time i got back to my house my noodle was already cold and cake noodle wasn’t crispy. it has already all soak up my sauce. oh well. next time i order from there i hope they don’t miss my food. Because they made a mistake i was hoping to have 1 extra gaugee but i guess my hope was too high.
they have some decent price lunch menu and the food was okay.

Actually ate here twice. First time, was not very impressed at all. The smell in the restaurant is very unappetizing and the food was bland and unsatisfying. I had the crispy chicken. Figured I’d give it a second chance and got a won ton mein. The noodles were so stuck together, soup base was kinda boring and won tons tasted funny. Overall, I don’t think I’ll go back again.

This place is definitely a hit or miss. We were looking forward to celebrating my father’s 84^th birthday with a chinese dinner and my family had made reservations earlier in the week for Saturday at 5pm. We were all looking forward to a tasty chinese dinner tonight but the fortune cookie princess was not granting our wish and it was not to be. Our entire family arrived at 5pm sharp and there were only two cars in the entire lot so I knew we were super early. Upon entering into the restaurant, there was only one table with a family having dinner. My brother promptly checked in the front and the only server which we knew from our prior visits (please see my previous review about the server who wanted to take our order even before our group arrived). This server told us that he did not have our reservations and that it was for the past thursday. My brother was certain that he confirmed the reservations and it was for saturday and NOT thursday. After some discussion, the server agreed to let us have a small table for our group of 7 adults. The table was already set up with settings but in a rectangular shape for 4 diners. He slowly started to set up the table by pulling out the additional table wings when my mother asked him that she would prefer a round table. He they quickly and angrily snapped back saying «can’t you see I am already setting up this table to be in a circular shape? He said this in a very sharp and smart ass tone and had this really upset expression all the while stopping what he was doing to stare back at us. My mother resented this type of treatment and promptly quelled his wise guy attitude. My jaw dropped and all I could see in my mind was the last visit where he told us that we should order our food before the restaurant got filled and before the rest of the party arrived. I immediately fired off a series of tirade which made him realize what he had done. We ended up trying to rationalize with this server trying to help him understand how he had just treated some faithful returning customers with some uncalled for disrespectful behavior. He still just didnt get it by pointing back at the incident about recording the wrong reservation date. We left the restaurant and I left him by telling him to think about what he had said and done. We contacted the restaurant later in the evening and informed the owners about everything that happened.
The owner apologized and asked us to come back but we had already committed to another establishment. She further offered to take the reservations the next time herself and gave us her cell number.
As I said, this place will be hit or miss abut seems like we are missing more than hitting.

Not the fanciest place, but the food is really good! The service is average and the people are nice. Not crowded on a Friday night. The crispy chicken is on sale right now for $ 5 and it’s yummy. The fried rice is like anywhere else and the sweet and sour pork is good. The staff speaks some English so that’s always a bonus! Parking is limited so we had to park around the corner. The inside of the restaurant is decent but the outside is slightly frightening.

Worst waiter ever. Gave the faces that his being bothered evey time a customers would come in. After leaving he check if we left tip and complain about the amount that was given. Of course you would have crappy tip if you yell at old people every time they come in or ask for something.

Bad service
Bad attitude from Chinese waiter
Too much MSG
Decided to try this place out after work @ 10:20 pm
Walked inside and nobody was there. Asked if I could sit near or in the middle to watch my moped. Then this rude male waiter says no go sit in the corner. I told him I wanted to watch my moped and he says no I got a group of Chinese people coming so sit in the corner. As I was walking out the other Chinese guy says it’s ok just sit in the middle.
The rude waiter tosses the menu on the table and as he’s taking my order he’s picking the dry stuff from his eyes. After 15 mins I get my cake noodle and I take one bite and i can feel my tongue burn from the MSG… Wayyyy too much! I forced myself to eat at least half of the noodles. As I was paying I told the cashier I did not appreciate the rude waiter telling me to go sit in the corner.
He says «that’s Chinese style!»
Also they don’t bother to check on you or offer water. Especially if your the only one dining in!

This parking lot is tiny! It was hilarious that when making a left turn into the parking lot there were two tour buses and a guy walking on the sidewalk waving us down to take his stall. Surely he didn’t come out of the restaurant with the sign that says «for restaurant customers only». We gladly accepted his stall since it was another chemical and ours with the two tour buses that took up the whole lot.
Upon entering, I found the restaurant to be quite large inside compared to the outside. A little warm, but I couldn’t complain since it was cooler than the humid heat outside. There are lots of different table sizes for different parties. We were seated immediately and our menus given.
They have a wide selection for Lunch Specials. Averaging from $ 7.99−10.99.
I ordered the Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger and Green Onions & Crispy Gau Gee Mien. The Sea Bass was delicious and hit the spot! I love angel hair mien noodles, especially when it comes out a little too crispy like eating cake noodles! What a great pair to have for lunch. Food was delivered less than 10 minutes, even with a crowd of tour buses coming in and out,
I wouldn’t mind returning with a bigger party to eat more entrees! I’ll hope the tour buses don’t take up all the parking spots next time.

Last minute decision to go to dinner. And Canton Seafood was right in the neighborhood. We ordered crispy chicken over cake noodles, char siu fried rice and beef ong choy. The food was ahhhright. Could be better. The beef ong choy had alot of butter… which I didn’t mind. Gave it extra flavor. Hoowever the fried rice and chicken cake noodles was dry… too dry! On top of the so-​so food, the waiter was slow and easily distracted that while we were ordering, another customer walked in and he told us he’ll be back… as he walks off to sit the new customers. ???
Food was overpriced for the taste of the food.

Came here for a family dinner with family that were visiting from China. Service was horrible. We had to ask for water twice, which was never refilled. My aunt wanted to order crab, I overheard the manager tell her in Chinese «no crab, on the whole island there is no crab». I think that’s some B.S. Our fried rice dish came out really late. A group of people that came after us left before it even came.
And the thing that was the most irritating… It seems that they have some sort of promotion for Chinese tours. Now I’m Chinese, but the thing I can’t stand is Chinese ppl from China. They are rude, loud, and don’t understand personal space. There were at least 4 full tables of Chinese nationals who were loud and became more loud when they started drinking. These skinny Chinese also stuck their chairs out in the tight space. So my baby and I kept getting out chairs bumped. Management did nothing to help the problem until my uncle got so irritated he said something to the manager. I understand restaurants are loud, but this was not normal. It was so loud you couldn’t hear the person next to you.
Husband also thought the food wasn’t that great. Food was tasteless. The chicken for cold ginger chicken hardly had any meat.
This was my first time here and it will also be my last.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurant.
Good service every time we dine here. My favorite is Roast Young Pigeon and the Ginger Chicken, it’s so good I always order it. My other favorites are Salt & Pepper Lobster, the Clams in black bean sauce and Ginger & Green Onions Oyster. They’re very flavorful.
I also would recommend their Honey Walnut Shrimp, Roast Pork, Steamed Fresh fish and Ginger Onion live Crab, very delicious!!!
I like this restaurant. the food taste is good and prices are reasonable

I’m been here a few times… and all I can say about this place is —
1. Food is Expensive… for what you get, vs. what you pay… there are better deals else where.
2. Food is just average (at best).
3. I see a lot tourist come here, (don’t see too much Chinese folks)…but I guess the tourist don’t know any better… and if they’re jonesing for Chinese, I guess the location is good, as it’s not too far from Waikiki or the Ala Moana area.
I came here about a month ago, as we were doing a full renovations to our house, and did not have a kitchen to cook food in. We had a gift certificate to use from this place, so we decided on coming here to eat.
I must say… inside of the restaurant looks much nicer that what appears to be on the outside.
Service was okay… we ordered just 3 items — ½ Crispy Chicken, Choy Sum Vegetable with a Dried Fish, a Ginseng Soup, and two bowls of Rice, and it came out to just under $ 35.00 (without tip).
About the food…
Well, we ordered the crispy chicken as they had some kind of special for ½ a chicken for $ 4.99. The chicken was just okay… skin wasn’t the crispiest, but it was okay. Nothing to write home about. The choy sum vegetable was the best item, and the dried fish that was topped on the choy sum tasted pretty good. It complimented the vegetable real well. The Ginseng soup was probably the item that ran up the bill… don’t know about the soup, but I really didn’t care for it.
Overall, I would come here if I was in a pinch to eat Chinese, but there are a lot of better places to go to… in my honest opinion.

We had been meaning to try this place for quite awhile. On Christmas day, when so many other places were closed, we wandered into Canton Seafood Restaurant, and were pleasantly surprised. We had a meat dish, noodle dish, and vegetable dish for less than thirty dollars. And it was tasty. The dining room itself was clean and well-​lit. Looking around, I noticed the majority of the patrons were folks speaking either in Mandarin or Cantonese, which is usually a pretty good sign right off the bat. For value, quality and cleanliness, I would definitely come here again.

Plain tasting food… but, at least they got the duck right.
Well let me get the good out of the way. The roast duck is the main entrée I really liked at this place. I mean, sure it tasted like any other roast duck at any other ‘okay’ Chinese restaurant but, at least it was good. Their seafood fried rice was also good, but not great. It had mostly shrimp and crab which gave it a nice sweet taste.
Now the not-​so-​good…
The décor and furniture of this place is really showing its age. The chairs are stained beyond recovery and the lazy susans have a lot of scratches. There is a ominous smell that lingers in some spots of the restaurant, but is masked by the smell of cooking crabs.
The food here lacks complexity especially since most of their entrees were covered in sauce. The house special chicken lacks flavor and requires condiments to make it tolerable. Make sure to ask them for the condiment because the table does not have them already (ie. soy sauce, mustard, chili, etc.). The food here is mainly to fill your belly– not to entertain your taste buds.
The service was not good at all. While placing a entrée on the lazy susan they spilled some of the sauce on the table and in my tea cup, and they did not offer to replace it. Be careful if there is no more room on your lazy susan. They will put the new entrée on top of the others– using the food as leverage.
While it is not the worst Chinese restaurant I been to… I would not return to Canton Seafood Restaurant because there are so many other places that have better tasting food.

Canton Seafood Restaurant
I know different places have the «People love us on Unilocal» red stickers on the front doors but this is the very first time I have seen at the top of a take out menu just « Unilocal​.com» look for more discounts. It struck me as odd and cool at the same time. IRL and text is blurring all the time.
Here is where I’m confident in giving a solid 4 star review. The food is good, not white truffle congiac from France glazed coating but just Chinese traditional cooking done well.
Some people are going to get upset. They have deals/​sales, but read the fine print. To get the half crispy chicken you have to buy a full price entrée, no problem really if you are going to eat with someone else but upsetting to the many passer-​bys that go in just to get 1 chicken at the good price. There is happy hours (yes hours) before 5 pm and after 9 pm, like 50% off beers. It is not too crowded on normal week days but it is just another trick is not the right word but way to get people to come back at non-​peek times. There is also after 9’s specials that are kinda like a .50 $ off normal dinner plates. So– advice, go after 9 pm if you want to go for the deals. Otherwise, the food there is still good none-​the-​less.
House special fried noodle is a nice mix of seafood and mushrooms with the great tasting noodles in a sweet savory sause.
Seafood special fried noodles has some delicious scallops cooked just to perfection with some chewy squid flank, shrimp cooked firm, and the first bite to my big surprise once was a cooked sliver similar to cut carrot was fresh ginger. OHHHH fresh taste filled my mouth. I love the noodle. So good.
I won’t order this but my friend did, spinich cooked with garlic. Just enough oil was cooked with it. The smell was so wonderful– I would not have expected that let alone ordered it.
The chicken is good. The skin is cooked the best. A little dry on the inside and soyo is good with it. Not my favorite but I prefer ordering something else.
For a normal choice, beef is normal. Beef brocolli is my normal go to for «I’m Hungry!» I’ve had better but it is just cooked well and tastey and good to go when I need to have it.
Back to why it’s a 4 and not a 5. The menus are beaten up, not a big deal but It made a slight impression on me. Some of the dinner-​ware could have flaws/​cracks. Not a big deal but again, just a note.
The waiters are nice. They are helpful and make suggestions when asked and give wait time for those that need more time to look. Very nice gentlemen.
I have been here very infrequently for ~15 years, way before Unilocal was created.
Different teacher friends like this place and I know why– good food at a reasonable well price.
Yeah– I’ll recommend it and suggest going with friends or my parents. Getting take out has some tricks to it. So I’ll double check the latest Unilocal reviews before making a big order so that my parents aren’t disappointed to find out there were deals if they just waited an hour to eat for example.

We’ve had Korean food almost every night so we decided to try out a new Chinese place that’s right around the corner from our 2^nd home.
We arrived around 7:15 PM and the place had a few tables that were occupied while we were about to enter. The owner actually came out of the restaurant to greet us & asked us how many people were in our group… which we had 5.
The restaurant itself is nice, clean and a fairly good size for family gatherings/​banquets.
While we’re getting seated, they hand us our menus and asked us if we wanted water so they brought out 5 water and a pot of hot tea. Looking through their very big menu, I found a few items that I had already pre-​chosen from the Unilocal reviews.
We ended up with an appetizer of deep fried intestine, which was served with a side of sweet and sour sauce (which I didn’t actually make use of). The flavor was fine, just that it still had the smell of intestine and a lot of fat. Maybe they could clean it better next time & deep fry it a little longer so the fat can become a little more crispier.
We had a half order of crispy fried chicken and half order of ginger onion chicken, both were pretty good because they weren’t salty like most other Chinese places. They also served the chicken with their own sauce. The crispy chicken was served with salt, MSG, & black pepper (which we didn’t use) and the steamed chicken was served separately from the ginger onion oil (which I actually appreciated because I always ask for no onions in my food).
The stir fry ong choy with shrimp paste was on the saltier side because of the shrimp paste, but I ended up finishing off the majority of the order all by myself.
The chicken and salted fish fried rice was my favorite out of all because the rice was flavorful, yet not too salty to eat with all the other dishes that we ordered. I mean it was so good, I had to order an extra one to take home and I ended up eating it again 2 hours after I just had dinner. Talk about pigging out. Overall, I would come back again just to try out their other dishes.
One warning, make sure you double check your bill because they over charged me for an item.
