Canton Cafe
What other Aucklanders are saying about Canton Cafe.
Customer : Visited our fave little cafe after living overseas last 4 years and the staff still remembered me! Friendly, welcoming and food is just the BEST! Feasted on most of our favourites – black chilli hapuka, hot and spicy prawns, steamed dim sims, crispy roast pork and steamed rice. Didn’t have room for salt and pepper squid and fried beans with mince and olives so next time. Food did not disappoint, tasted exactly like it did last time we ate. Wish we could pack up Canton and bring it to Melbourne! Will definitely visit again when we are home next.
Customer : Canton cafe is my family favourite restaurant. It’s always fully booked on mothers/fathers day. The hot & spicy king prawns is second to none, so delicious Even the name hot & spicy, but it is not spicy. We like hot & spicy hapuka too. Staff are helpful & friendly.
Customer : Father’s day dinner, very bad manner of putting plates on the table by waiters, waiters don’t understand half of the things you say. My wife called the Boss lady
to get some sauce, she took two steps and start serving another customer totally ignored her. We have to ask two waiters to get the sauce. And from the counter the BOSS lady, asks my wife if everything is okay. My wife was so upset and she left to sit in the car and told us to have the dinner or have it takeaway. I called the Boss lady regarding the issue what happened and I told her i am not happy with the service, she replied with anger. She took away all the food we ordered from the table and left it in the kitchen while we still sitting on the table, this BOSS lady was very rude. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Customer : Came here for a birthday dinner, BYO. Food portions were huge and ideal for sharing, Duck pancakes were delicious and so was Sweet & Sour chicken. Plenty more to choose. It can get rowdy here as plenty of groups come to celebrate or have a pre meal before a night out so don’t expect a quiet restaurant. Also, when the fruit is served at the end of the meal, that is your sign to finish up-ha! I imagine the staff have to deal with a lot of drunk customers so seemed very indifferent to guests, I would probably be the same so don’t expect warm hospitality, however they would bring the food out quickly and clear them well too. I would still come back here for a meal or group meal.
Customer : Food was nice! Super busy and great BYO! Staff are really rude though so that’s of putting. Made a booking for 6:30pm to 8:30pm but it was 7:30 and we were already being kicked out even though we were ordering more food. It’s a shame, staff could be nicer!!!
Customer : Food:(3.5/5)
We had the crab, peiking duck and the pork with tofu. The crab was very delicious but the portion of peiking duck was so small and the pork with tofu was way too salty.
Service:(4/5)
Service was fast and staff were very friendly.
Customer : The best simple Chinese food I’ve come across. Very tasty and reasonably priced.
Customer : Very busy place specially on Friday evenings. You won’t get a place without booking. We had good time as a group and everyone loved the food. Ice cream was very good. Plenty of paid parking and a free parking also available nearby in the streets.
