We came from Edmonton with friends and ordered food inside. After all of us had already payed, we were told that we could not eat inside because the washroom is broken. Why couldn’t they tell us before? Then, they told use to go outside and eat on the street. The food was not good either. The spicy ginger beef was not spicy at all, didn’t taste ginger, and was over-fried. They need to learn what a customer service looks like. The place is also really messy and dirty

I haven't had such delicious Chinese food in red deer in so long. Got the dinner for 2 (A). Loved every dish you get.

Canton Kitchen has been mine and my family’s go-to Chinese food place for years. The service is always great and the food is yummy. However now their prices are too high and the portions are much smaller. It’s $15 for an order of sweet and sour chicken balls. It is not enough to feed a family of 2 adults and a small toddler. It used to feed 4 adults! It’s almost $2 for piece for a little chunk of chicken in batter, ridiculous.

Best ginger beef around!!!! The portions are tiny for the price! Had the dinner for 2 $40 approx They charge $4 for an item swap even though their the same price. In fact, the swapped item was cheaper, but it is what it is! It's definitely a to go bussiness as the inside is pretty grunge and tiny, however thats where the best food tends to come out of soooo! Everyone was in the kitchen chatting and cooking, so no one knew I was there despite my bell ringing, which caused a 15 min wait! They are friendly enough but the ginger beef and beef and broccoli are definitely worth all the other stuff!

My only gripe is that when I order from here, I eat too much. Their quality is consistent, and they are one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Red Deer. The owners are super friendly. Order the crispy chili oil too. They make it in house.

Nothing was cooked with any seasoning besides salt . It was "good food" but definitely didn't taste like Chinese food unfortunately. Egg rolls seemed freezer burnt and then deep fried and a dinner for 4 had very small portions few peices of meat compared to veggies . Probably wouldn't order again.

Ordered dinner for 2 A and B yesterday and it was the best Chinese food we’ve had in a long time! Fried rice was moist and flavorful, veggies slightly crisp and delicious. Fried items had a good batter and not too much of it. Only complaint was the ginger beef was very skinny and not much of it but tasted very good. Wontons could have used more filling as well. Delivery was only $3. Man that took the order was very friendly. I’d definitely order from Canton Kitchen again!

Best Chinese I've had in Alberta so far being from the maritimes. Chicken balls are best in town, the absolute best General Tao Chicken I've ever had - Actually spicy and not too sweet. Wontons were 100% awesome, beef and broccoli was decent. Only complaint is I couldn't get my chicken fried rice with no Peas.

First time ordering from them, and the last. Got the dinner for 2 - swapped out the sweet and sour pork for chicken balls; an extra $9, completely understandable. They just shoved a few chicken balls in my lemon chicken instead of providing me the full serving I paid for; I would have gotten a full serving if I didnt pay and extra $9 to not get pork. Chicken fried rice: chicken was dry, old, and hard. Peas were still frozen. It was not even hot.

★★

The chicken wings were not fresh, over cooked and very dry. The beef and broccoli very soggy. Wont be eating this food again.

Best Cantonese food in red deer. Staff are always very polite and respectful. Regular orders are made quickly and always hot. Recommend ordering a few days early on holidays to give ample time to have it ready for you.

Lost a couple of starts this time Im afraid. Sooo many onions added to the spicy squid that there is many more onions than squid. Also, the fried rice- hard rice kernels throughout still.

I have been ordering here for at least 8 years. Had an awful beef chow mein last week, it was so full of gristle that it was inedible. The rotten customer service that I received means I wont be ordering from them again, she argued with me about how nobody else had complained and how they get their meat prepackaged so dont have any clue how much gristle is in it. I ended up wasting 15 minutes with her over a $14 dish. Now I called in to use my credit and she reminded me that I would have to pay the $2 difference. Customers mean zero to this restaurant. Wonton soup was seriously lacking as well.

December 22, 2022

Very disappointed we have ordered here for years used to be excellent but lately every order gets smaller costs more and the quality goes down today s order was not good at all so disappointed I will definitely be looking for a new go to place

Canton Kitchen is the only place in Red Deer that we will order Chinese food from. The customer service is excellent, prices are very good, delivery time is very reasonable and the food is always always hot and delicious. In the 8 years we have been ordering from them I have never had one complaint. I have recommended Canton Kitchen to many family and friends and they aren t disappointed. The Ginger beef is by far the best.

This was the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Warning! If you order prawns or seafood, let them know that is what you want, and NOT onion rings. It was terrible.

The fried rice seemed old and not fresh. Very little beef in the beef and broccoli. It was okay, but would not order here again.

December 22, 2021

Food quality is very poor and food is spilled in the take out box. Things where piled on the soy sauce packs that all broke open. Ive noticed the last couple times we have ordered from there the food quality is nowhere near what it used to be. We even found what looked like cut up octopus or squid in our chow mein. The onions in our ginger beef where old and had skin on them still. I dont know whats happened here, but we will not be ordering from Canton Kitchen any more.

★★★★★

Family owned and operated restaurant, with delivery and takeout options only ( not sit down). The food is always fresh and hot, and their combos offer a few options, which I appreciate. Typically pickup times run about 20 to 25 minutes, which isnt bad if youre ordering last minute.
