November 2024 - Looking for a new Chinese place, we chose the Chinatown Restaurant in Canton. Checking out the online menu, some details were left out about some of the items, so I called before a family member picked up our takeout. Very helpful, it sounded like the Chef himself as he was busy cooking, he told me they only had one dumpling, not a choice of vegetable or pork. They put both together. He also said the House Lo Mein consisted of shrimp, chicken and pork. Our takeaways were as follows: The egg roll and shrimp roll had the same crispy wrapping and were both good. The spring rolls were not to our family member's liking as they had what all of the Chinese places around us currently have which is a paste of some kind in the center. I will have to try these myself to see what they mean. The wonton soup was very good. The right temperature, wonton dough not too dense, filling was pure and the broth was flavorful. Their dumplings were also cooked expertly, but one family member found the combination unsatisfying as there wasn't either enough meat or vegetables to their liking. The rest of us enjoyed them, though I realize if you're a vegetarian you cannot get dumplings here as in other restaurants where they make both. Mains: The winner was General Tso's chicken. I never order it, but so many people do and it always seems like a winner overall. The serving was plentiful, the chicken was tender with a soft coating and a little broccoli on the side, which is common with this dish. The beef and broccoli also had tender meat, a good sauce and was a good portion size. The only negative was the broccoli stalks were too long and undercooked. A large container of well cooked white rice came to share with this meal and the Tso's chicken. The House Lo Mein did not look anything to me like what I would get in California, but even after so many years back home in CT, I'm still adjusting to these differences. What looked like a container of brown noodles with a little bit of addons, I asked, is this mine? Yes, was the response as everyone was happy to run off with theirs. Fortunately, it tasted better than it looked presentation wise. Still, I could only have two servings before giving the other half away for someone else's lunch the next day. Our favorite thing we all agreed they did the best with this order, was their House Fried Rice with an added egg. Perfectly made with shrimp, chicken, pork, the egg and some fresh peas. Plenty of fortune cookies were included in the bag, along with chopsticks and a variety of sauces. They do have indoor seating. Maybe six tables? The owners are very polite and accommodating. Open six days a week basically 11Am - 10Pm. Closed Mondays and most holidays. Plenty of parking as they are within a small shopping plaza.

I ordered fried rice, and I had a very bad week, and I just wanted my fried rice. And spoke specifically to have my fried rice. And guess what? It wasn't in there. So I cried. Good food overall.

I can’t rate the atmosphere because I’ve never eaten inside. Tonight was disappointing it seems the quality is waning these days. Ordered a cheeseburger and for argument sake I said well done in the beginning of the order; But after modifying other items I ordered either the well done was never written down or the cook just did what he/she wanted. My kid bit into the burger and it was pretty rare . Wasn’t bleeding rare but too rare for my taste let alone a child. So suffice to say no place is immune from these mistakes. I think every restaurant should be mandated to cook meats for well done. This was gross and I hope my kid doesn’t get sick. The other items were okay, seems the more I go the more it gets worse. I’m going to take a break from this restaurant for awhile. I’m really not one to complain online and it’s even harder for me to complain in person. Other restaurants are also on my do not go for awhile list. It just seems for the prices these days it more worth the effort to make it at home.

9/24- Their chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon comes together well with a lot of crispy bacon and crunchy bread. # August 2024 - One of the special menu of the week orders was basically chicken and waffles with a twist of poutine and pickles. Interesting. The standard menu grilled chicken sandwich is delicious and one of their healthier choices. It is a popular place and so packed last week there were no parking spaces available of their own, but you can park in an adjacent spot. Closed Sunday and Monday. Open until 7 pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tuesday and Wednesday hours are 11-3:30 pm. # Nice place for locals or visitors driving down Rte 44 to pull over for some feel-good food. Outdoor seasonal seating. Customers order at the counter and are called when their order is done or wait staff brings the food to your table. We sat outside and asked the waitress if we needed to come back in to pick up our food, and she said, no, she would bring it to us. After a half an hour, I was about to get up and inquire how long it took for two burgers to be made with light traffic, when the cook himself came out with our food and nicely said he thought we left him hanging. ? Anyway, both burgers were very good and cooked to temperature. The Beau's Burger Bleu, with blue cheese and bacon, was very tasty, and the Mushroom & Swiss was equally so. Fries with my meal were the right combination of crispy and soft. My companion wanted onion rings, so this was added to the bill as a side. I've eaten here before doing reviews and always liked their chili dog. They do have salads, soup, and chili for those who do not want a burger and chicken tenders for kids. On the high end, they have lobster rolls - I was tempted to try one as I love to compare these, and the Shrimp Po' Boy, whole belly clam and clam strip platter also sound promising. There is much to try here with an easy stop off the road.
