We are from Port Hardy and today was the first time we tried the Canton restaurant. We don’t often get to try new Chinese restaurants but the Canton restaurant had great reviews so we gave it a try and we’re so happy we did . We picked up five dishes and the portions were really great and not oily! I also ordered the War Wonton which didn’t disappoint! It was really good. The quality of the ginger beef and the quality of the Almond chicken was the best we’ve ever had in the 52 years I have been on this planet. Many restaurants we’ve been to in the past serve the “fake chicken” certainly not here. There was no delivery but picking it up was all worth it! Oh yeah, the chicken chow mein was awesome with lots of bean sprouts and not too oily. We give this restaurant five stars all day long!
Good food prepared fresh by owner Henry, is excellent. They have half orders if requested.
We went to eat in for dinner, but due to staffing problems they are only doing take-out for dinner. That was OK, the waitress was friendly and quickly took our order. It was ready in 10 minutes. We ordered the family dinner for 4, it was absolutely delicious, the dish sizes were substantial. We definitely had leftovers. My sister-in-law can't have MSG, and they graciously made the dishes without. Great food for a reasonable price.
Amazing authentic guangdong/Cantonese Chinese food! I love this place! Portions are huge. Things are not too salty or oily. They are currently only doing take-out because of lack of staff (which is understandable). The owner is super kind and always so hardworking. The place is clean and inviting. I will definitely be coming back lots. I reccomend the black bean beef noodles, deep fried won tons, and bean sprout beef noodles.
Excellent food and terrific staff. Best Chinese food in town by far. We live in Sayward and are very pleased at how good the food is with a take-out order and 50 minute drive before we get home. Dining in is even better. Plus, the price is very reasonable. Never had a bad experience in 30+ years.
We visit Cantons 1-2 times per week. It took 3 visits for our server to memorize our orders, and ask if we even require menus. I enjoy sitting in, because of the quick service, and the staff. The owner, frequently pops out to ensure the food is on point, and get to know you. Our drinks our never empty, and the food is consistent, despite the nutty amount of take out they do! My initial reaction to the menu, was expensive, but after one visit, i underatood that i wanst getting one meal, i was getting two. Even this "fat bot," cant finish Canton's 'Fat Boy!' There arent many places in campbell river i recommend, but this is one inurge everyone to try, enjoy, and support!
I've loved this place as a kid, and I still do as an adult! It's still my favorite place to get chicken Chow Mein, and their serving sizes are quite large.... As an example, ordering a dinner for two? It's really ordering a dinner and next day's lunch for two! The staff is also super nice and have been there for a really long time, so it's nice to see their familiar faces too
Best chinese food in town! My picture does not do it justice. I highly recommend the war wonton soup and most everything on the menu. Everytime I've had food here, it was always great and not to greasy, and really friendly staff!!!! Do it up. P.s. Killer hangover food.
Cheap Chinese food. It fills the void. Get the fat boy for best bang for buck
Awesome small restaurant. Service was excellent. Will stop again.
Henry always makes great fresh food. Huge portions
Delicious Chinese food and great portions too

Delicious food and good portions!!Loved the chowmein.
Very nice cashier / server Phone in ahead and they will give estimated time for pick up
Last week we ordered a take-out dinner at 5pm. We had a 50 min drive back to Sayward and the meal was still warm. We had been customers of the Rosebowl before it sold and never in all the years we went there had a bad meal. This meal was the worst Chinese meal we have ever had. Everthing looked like leftovers. Meat was tough and the chow mein inedible. We settled for frozen spring rolls instead. So now its April 29, 2022 and we try and have a Chinese lunch. The fat Boy was recommended so we ask the waitress if we can split it. It cost $19.00 and we are told the minimum is $15.00 each, so no you cant. We are seniors and there is no hope that we can eat $30.00 worth of Chinese food. #1 any restaurant that wants to have customers realizes that seniors have different needs. We eat less. #2 The fat boy was $19.00 and if you add two coffees we are at $25.00. So, we left. Guess who lost out. We didnt spend $25.00 and we wont be back. This company should take a long, hard, look at their public relations.
Wow, just had some last night and we all raved about how good it was. Fresh! Better than most. If you havent tried it, try it. Still one of the best in town. The meatiest sweet and sour pork youll ever have.
Started with 4 then 4 more. No problem very good . Best in town. Al P Parking: Easy Kid-friendliness: Yes Very
Henri makes the best! My favorite is his special fried rice with everything including egg in it. For so long anywhere Id eat Chinese food within minutes Id be having a sneeze attack from the msg. Because Henri makes from scratch all his sauces...... I never have an issue hooray BTW the staff are great too! They are open for take out at the moment only but worth the wait (which isnt long most Ive waited is 10 mins).
Fast and delicious! Best Chinese food on the island, hands down!!
Great food

I love eating here.
Good quality and generous portions.
Always enjoy the food, the management and staff.
The fat boy is delicious
Tried the fried rice. Pretty good! Though it couldve used more veggies inside, like corn and/or carrots (Mine only had peas and it felt a bit empty). The honey garlic pork was excellent
Quick take out service and the food is delicious with heaping helpings.
Great food worth the $

Reasonable prices, fresh food, hearty quantity and friendly service.
Reasonably priced, large portions, prompt service & loved the bean cake soup.
It was just ok for me
Not many Asian restaurants are willing to cater to those that have allergies, but this place deserves a triple gold star from my family. I know you would not be disappointed if you give this place a shot.
Love it

Great Good, quantity, and service!
My favorite place for Chinese food at lunch. Im a big eater so the fatboy is perfect for me.
This is Campbell Rivers go to restaurant for Wonton soup, black bean anything, and the best hot curry sauce ever!
The restaurant is clean if a bit dim at night. The food is well done and well presented. No buffet, but ordering off the menu is great for seasoned folks like us.
The Fat Boy is where it is at! It is what they are most famous for. Dine in or take out. The place is a little dated, the food is legendary. Located down town by the Music Plant
Best chowmain in town

Delicious, fast, freshly prepared authentic Chinese. Very popular local take out place. Table service. I recommend the deep fried prawns. Great for order ahead and eat on the drive home!
Hands down the best Chinese food in town. Large portions, friendly owner and staff, mouth watering taste. Only thing that sucks is that he closes at 7pm, but cant be helped if its locally owned.

The boss is very interesting and the service is very good. To be honest, the dishes are only for foreigners, but the chef came out to discuss with us and served a table of dishes. very nice. I will definitely come back to eat next time I have a chance. We asked the boss to drink Dream Blue with us. The bosss business is booming.
Pretty good .we had the wor wonton soup it was really delicious. And the egg fu young a little too much egg making it dry and the gravy was turkey you could taste it but not bad over all.
Great food and great service. Excellent.
My favorite: bbq pork on noodle soup.
Top choices and oood.
Best Curry in town.
