Reviews of Canton Cafe (Gardener)

Aaron Rogerson

Had the phone off the hook so I couldn't get through to place an order. Went in person and was told it would be 30-35 minutes but it was more like 50 minutes. Others that came in after me got their order first. I was not impressed. Thankfully the food was good once I finally got it.

Only far food

Best food in town love their eggrolls

(Translated) One of the worst restaurants we have eaten at. Many of the items offered on the menu were not available. The waitresses spoke almost no English and no French at all. Errors in the dishes we were served. Not very fresh ingredients, sloppy and barely lukewarm cooking. Not very clean place. We walked out with a bad taste in our mouths and got sick. A place to be avoided at all costs. (Original) Un des pires restaurants où nous avons mangé. Plusieurs mets offerts sur le menu n'étaient pas disponibles. La serveuses ne parlait à peu près pas anglais et pas du tout français. Erreurs dans les plats qu'on nous a servis. Ingrédients pas très frais, cuisine bâclée et à peine tiède. Endroit pas très propre. Nous sommes sortis avec un mauvais goût dans la bouche et nous avons été malades. Un endroit à éviter à tout prix.

Love it. The food is great, and the staff are phenomenal! ????????????????????

The service was okay, and the egg rolls are great, but otherwise I was a bit disappointed, as the food items weren’t as fresh as they could have been. One reviewer described it as “Canadian Chinese food” and I would agree. I’ll be back for more of the egg rolls though, as they are fantastic.

Jeremy MacLeod

Very disappointed...paid for two orders of wontons...only recieved one. Also, vegetables were well past their prime with lots of dark spots. Staff, however, were very nice, but the food quality has deteriorated.

The combo's are great, good price. I don't go beyond those. Comfort food, has changed hands but this location has been a staple in Charlottetown for many many years.

Pretty nasty eggrolls...

Chan Yiu Kwok

Good

Ron Kierstead

The very best egg rolls anywhere!!

Kay Pitre

My brothers favorite place to eat we go there every time he comes back to the island.

Anytra Eterovich

Canadian Chinese style food.. great service and awesome egg rolls but food is not good.. lemon chicken came with lemon water - not sauce, over cooked and all batter. Everyone of us were disappointed with food but complaints to owners feel on deaf ears.. If you like egg rolls then good to go but all else is a pass.

Theresa Corcoran

Great, friendly service and delicious Chinese food. Right in the heart of downtown Charlottetown.

Katie Magnum

I went there the other evening and got my fav chicken balls with fries and gravy it was delightful tasty and plentiful prices are great and the small man at the cash was so hardworking at what he was doing he was so polite such a gentleman!!

Kevin Brooks

Coffee sucks

Baconator James

I ate here 25 years ago. Today the "Canadian Chinese" menu, the food is the same, the decor is the same, and I'm guessing most of the staff are the same. Great for a late - night scoff, but don't be expecting much.

Melody Garnhum

Best Chinese food on PEI.

donna lee

Good prices for what you get. Two people can share a dinner for one. It is more than enough with an extra egg roll. The restaurant decor is a bit dated but adds to the charm.

Monty Gautreau

Have eaten at the canton for years and always go back because you could always count on good food. However last time we had the canton the food was terrible!!! The egg rolls were not edible, the same with the rest of our food. I was extremely disappointed and will never go back. Just not even close to the quality of food I have come to expect from the canton. It’s too bad that the canton name is associated with such poor quality now.

I can't say enough about how great this food is. I can't find anything like it in all of PEI and NB, where I currently live. I travel all the way to PEI just for the lemon chicken, as many times as I can. The egg rolls are also fantastic. I have gotten entire orders of just egg rolls before.

Kris Holt

A good but not sensational restaurant. The food is good without any plus. A nice family restaurant to have good old chinese/canadian cuisine.

I went to the Canton Cafe for the first time in many years. It wasn't a great experience at all. The server was very nice but when we complained that our ribs were tasteless and over microwaved and not edible, he apologized for them and took them away. When he brought the bill he said tell the guy at the cash your ribs weren't good and you didn't eat them. So we mentioned it to the cash guy and he shrugs and says "We have lots of customers, everyone get the same, everyone pay." I told him if they were fine we would have eaten them. He again shrugs and says "everyone get same everyone pay." I told him they were clearly over microwaved and like rubber not good at all. He again says "everyone get same everyone pay". I say I'll pay but I will NOT be back! What a joke for customer service!

Darius Lutz

Very disappointed with the food since the new owners took over. It's either over cooked or under cooked and doesn't take very good. They take their phone off the hook during the day because they cannot handle the orders. It's to busy for them.

This is where I go to get Chinese in Charlottetown and they're open late too. Order combo D if you want fried rice, egg roll, sweet and sour chicken (chicken balls) and honey garlic spare ribs for the low cost of about $15 this isn't bad.

Susan Taylor

It's really good food but one waiter doesn't come to your seat after she gives you your food and she doesn't ask if u want pop

Shane Graves

Our waitress was very nice. Food was slower than usual to be served to us. Food was great, just the way we like it - Canadian style Chinese food. Water should have had ice . Atmosphere dreary, don't think that it has been updated since the place was built, whatever year that was !! We're wondering if this place is under new management ??

Lorine Houde

Best eggrolls on Earth n the curry beef is eceptional..midd George ????

Chris Hendrickson

This place has the best eggrolls on PEI and awesome food as well.

David Hughes

Best egg roles in town!

John McDonald

That waitress Oraphan is the absolute sweetest thing. She is always so polite and checks often with her tables. The atmosphere is very cozy and calm, very nice location as well. This is mine and my friends favourite spot

Debbie Mutch

My family and I have been eating at Canton for as long as I can remember. The staff, service, and food are always exceptional!

Food is always great

hayley mccaffrey

My first time in Charlottown. Tonight I made the biggest mistake and felt completely robbed. I ordered shrimp and scallops with vegetables which cost including tax about $25. I was excited to come home and enjoy my take out and when I opened the container, I was in a complete shock!!! A few scallops and tiny shrimps!!! I'm not on a diet mate!!! And when I tasted the food, it was tasteless!!! No ginger, no garlic... No salt, Is this a diabetic meal??? I am so disappointed!!! So upset that they can serve crappy food. I couldn't finish the shrimps and scallops that I can count because it is tasteless!!! In the garbage it goes because thats what I ate, garbage.

Veronica Jendrick

A little slow service wise but the food was really good.

Lindha DL

Great food, brand new kitchen, and recommended for their egg rolls or maybe the homemade plum sauce. I always get the combo number two for one person and an extra egg roll $23. 00

Many health violations in Dec, April and again Dec all 2017

Their posted hours are not correct....I wasted my time driving in town to get some takeout.

rick gallant

This will be the last time we order on New Year's eve, perhaps the last time we eat from here at all. The food was certainly not the best. The chicken CHUNKS tasted like rubber and under cooked. Chicken fried rice was dry and nearly inedible. Positive my $50 could have been better spent. A real disappointment for our New Years dinner ????

Judy Macdonald

Good food and friendly service.....highly recommend if you like Chinese food!!

Tim Sock

Food good, people very friendly, delivery prompt and FREE. Badly needs new management, who will pick up the phone! 3/4 of the time, we have to order from another restaurant because the line is always, always busy. They're the only ones in town who haven't been shut down for food safety.

Georges Mardini

Had a take out combination plate f. Good portion size, hot and ready when picked up.

John Clark

Excellent food

Maureen Cheverie

This place is a Charlottetown tradition.

Étienne Madore

Alot better than it used to be years ago, friendly service, best Chinese food in Charlottetown again! Hands down. We gave up on China Garden not even good after the bar food anymore much less through the day

Mark Gaudet

Very fast service. Food was pretty good.

Sandra Jean Ferguson

Food was good. Rice a bit on the dry side. Service was excellent.

Patty Wincey

Always the best Chinese food in town

Janet Jones

Great food.

Kimberlee Faulkner

Service and food has suffered since change of ownership

Brandon Gallant

Food missing from my order and the phone off the hook too much. I live 30 minutes from the restraunt so I wasn't driving back for the other half of my order that night but tried for hours to reach them by phone and no luck. Terrible experience...

Cory Drake

Got very sick after eating there , waitress was very nice but the eggrolls had a bad smell and tbr ribs were tasteless and reheated God knows how many times.

Crystal Macdonald

Love the Canton. A Charlottetown classic - consistently good and open late.

William Gallant

Mediocre food and prices too high for what you get. Great egg rolls

Jenny Carter

Used to be good, but last time I ate there egg roll and chicken balls way over cooked. Almost too hard to bite into. Then I found a non food item mixed in with the rice.. gross.. never again.

Robert Mac Donald

Great place

Kathryn Schelter
