What People Are Saying About Canton Cooks

In Short – Most of Atlanta’s great ethnic finds are all clumped together off Buford Highway, but Canton Cooks is a gleaming OTP find in upper-class Sandy Springs. (Surprise!) Going into the place feels like walking into something closer to SoHo than suburbia: servers arrogantly scurry about, the plating looks like something circa 1988 and the place is always packed. Those who want real-deal Chinese (snow pea leaves, crispy noodles with seafood) Canton Cooks delivers the hard-to-find familiarities. If they have it, the chrysanthemum tea tastes remarkably like a flower smells and dragon…

Great AUTHENTIC Chinese food!

The wonderful fact about Canton Cooks is that it is Chinese food by Chinese people. It is not an American Restaurant, therefore, it does not feel like one. If all you are interested in are fried eggrolls and General's Chicken, this may not be the place for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy experiencing culture through food...well this is definitly your kind of restaurant. The staff is friendly and generous. I felt comfortable asking for menu explanations and was able to understand their knowledgable reply. They are gracious even when serving very large parties. So if you can't get to China, go to Canton Cooks!
Oh, remember for your large groups to order family style.

When you are very hungry and out of options, this is the place you still want to avoid. The service is very horrible. The server cannot even speak english and refuses for me to order what I wanted in the first place. Even before the food comes out, they put the check out a couple of times and expects for us to pay. Do not eat the rice or sauces they provide because they reuse them. I know from experience.
- Pros: Free hot tea, close to Ross and WholeFood.
- Cons: Everything, especially the hot tea

I didn't like the soup I ordered and waiter refused to bring me anything else because "YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE IT EITHER!" Manager wasn't on duty. That sertainly made my satureday night. Old, worn out place should serve good food and have a good service to compensate.
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: horrible service
