Canton Restaurant in Invercargill

Good food. Good service. Dated surroundings but quite charming all the same. Nice people.

Everything was fresh, good proportions, well priced. Nice clean good service,

I was about to order several dishes and asked table for 1,but the Chinese lady is ride for a fellow asian like me and told me to finish and to return back the table in 30minutes, considering there arent many customers inside.By that rudeness, I lost appetite and just left.For me, I can eat not so delicious food but I cannot tolerate rudeness especially coming from A fellow asian.How sad, Its a first for me to recommend something like this, I rexommend guys dont eat here.I just went to Hongkong restauarnt instead and people there are accomodating and very nice.

Ive never been here before. Was able to bring a bottle of wine. Food was yummy all 4 of us chose a dish. Good to share each others choice

Beautiful setting/decor. Devine meal of stuffed battered mushrooms, blue cod bites in lemon sauce & prawns in ginger & garlic sauce . Friendly attentive hostess.

Great food always enjoy going there.

Very fresh and tasty food. Great service. Recommend ++

Attended a Birthday Banquet this week food excellent beautfully prepared and presented the service was very attentive and efficient over all a dining experience to remember Well done Sue Pete and Staff Thank you for making it a Birthday experience to remember

Best Asian food in town.

Just yuck 🤮 I got fish $26! with more onions than fish.. fried rice, so dry & with mixed vege $4 50. This place has zero atmosphere & decor is stuck in the 70/80s.. only good thing is its byo

Had a meal there last night, very tasty and plentiful. Tidy place, warm, the lady who served us, was very helpful in explaining the dishes to us. Would recommend this place.

We ordered beef black bean, sweet and sour blue cod and combination chow mein to take away. Once we got it home we realized we didnt get a chow mein, we got a fried rice instead. The meal was well below average tasting and small portions for the price. The blue cod was nice but only 8 little balls for $21.50. Will not be back.

Fried rice is nice...

Delicious meal. Absolutely enjoyed it

Great food and good variety

Had chicken fried rice and steak and vegetables, very poor!! no flavour. If this is the best Chinese restaurant in Invercargill, I would hate to try the rest

Delicious food.... excellent customer service

Had chicken chowmein, pork fried rice, sweet and sour pork and beef noodles.All dishes were very blan my co worker said it was like we ordered 4 of the same thing🤷‍♂️. The pork barely had any sweet and sour sauce. Staff were lovely and very prompt but im here for the food not to make freinds. The food was edible but just no flavour i see people sayin this is invercargills best chinese restaurant but they need to up the flavour game!!! Oh and the chicken chowmein noodle s where not even the fat noodles just the thin egg noodles i could have just ordered stir fried chicken and vegetables.

Outstanding food and service. By and very reasonable corkage and food prices. A fantastic night out.

Just the best with very special service from the owner who we missed so much during lock down and the food was devine you all must try to go there and support this excellent local restaurant thank you

Not great food.

Lovely quiet atmosphere and beautiful food. My husband said he would return just for another bowl of chicken mushroom soup. Elegant & flavorsome food.

Food is good but that is about it. Would be great if they picked up the game on service, desserts and atmosphere.

Impatient staff, terrible experience.

Lovely Chinese foods

A warm welcome on a cold summer day.Warming food in quite surrounding.

Weve been going here for many years for the buffet as a family. Once again they prove to be the best Chinese restaurant in Invercargill with the best, friendliest service and the tastiest food!

I would only rate the canton as slightly above average the food is ok but the decor needs updating

Good food and friendly staff. Very satisfying night out 👍👍

Meh.

So untasty

Very expensive for the food and service - - - certainly wont be going back

The service was friendly and efficient. Delicious food!

Great food. Got the sizzling Chinese steaks, chicken fried rice and cashew nut. Service was excellent and food was fresh.

Excellent service. Exceptional food.

Great food great people

Amazing

Yummy food

If youre into Chinese food then this is the place to be. Their signature dish is an absolute must try, which is their Golden Crispy Chicken. The portions are relatively big so it is perfect if you brought your family here. The noodles were also another highlight during my visit here. The food does take a while to come. Another thing that you should know is that most poultry dishes come with vegetables. Other than that you should really try this place out as it is a nice place to dine.

In my whole life I did not have such bad chinese food. Avoid this place by all means. Not only the cook is bad, no, also the ingredience are old and bad quality on top.

Horrible food and bad service. The photos on there website are completely different from there restaurant. But if you wont bad food in a building that needs a clean then this place is for you.

Wow so disappointed!!! Ordered the “blue cod with lemon sauce” @ $21.50 = x12 less than bite size pieces ($1.80 per pieceand that’s a large!!!!Phoned the manager to express my disappointment who was very rude and asked why I was not shopping at my regular Chinese outfit, RUDE!!!

Mediocre at best. Id not go back.

Food was very nice. Tasty and well presented. Service was excellent.

The best Chinese food in town . Have been going to Susan and Johns restaurant for 30 years plus. Wonderful food and couple.

Ok. Basic meal.

Amazing. My family has been going there for over 20 years and still hasnt disappointed. Lots of choices for meat lovers to vegans. Always worth checking out their specials board.

We had chicken and sweet corn soup and it was made with bought chicken stock that wasnt even desolved and it was so salty it wasnt nice. One of my greatest accomplishment was finishing that soup. The rest of the meal was ok but still not great. Sorry but I wouldnt recommend this restaurant.

Best Chinese in Invercargill

Place is about 40 years old but serves good traditional Chinese food that is fresh.
