Editorial Review for Canton House – by Erin Parks and Michael Longshore
The Scene
One of the less intimidating restaurants on Buford Highway, Canton House packs in couples and families for authentic Chinese cuisine. Inside, a flaming neon pictograph presides over rows of black lacquer chairs. The spacious, open dining room sports teal walls and pink tablecloths offset by bubbling tanks of live seafood and frosted glass decorative partitions. Service is efficient and friendly, and there's little or no language barrier.
The Food
The large menu features Americanized Chinese dishes, along with a strong selection of more authentic offerings. Look for pan-fried pot stickers with minced pork and scallions or crab meat with snow pea leaves, which includes generous portions of delicate greens and flavorful sauce. Pan-fried Cantonese noodles with beef and vegetables are flavorful, but lack sufficient crispiness. Best bets for vegetarians: savory spinach with garlic sauce and a particularly good Buddha's delight enhanced with wood ear mushrooms. Dim sum, served daily, is a big hit.

I usually go to Canton House on Sunday mornings with a group of friends for some hot dimsum. Not too pricey, an ok atmosphere, and good food. I do not recommend the place for everyday Chinese food though. However I do recommend dimsum on weekends.

A coupon from Entertainment book few years ago was our discovery of this restaurant. The manager of restaurant is very friendly. He always checks each table and has a good memory of guests. Found out he is from Vietnam and his parents are from Canton, China. We always have hot/good food and never had any disappointments. Portion is pretty big and their price is lower than many restaurants on Buford highway.
Pros: Manager is friendly, very clean, Inexpensive
