  Average joint win very efficient service and decent ambience – we had the aromatic duck and a platter of dim sums – pass but reasonable. Small capacity and live kitchen make it a lively setting

  Canton is a pretty nice venue with a broad range on the menu and budget-friendly prices, with mains costing between 6-10 each. We ordered a bbq meat and rice plate, mapo tofu and wonton noodle soup with tea for 25. Service was polite and our orders came out quickly, and the food was nice, although the tofu had a slight tomato flavour. Tea refills were offered and we were able to get takeaway without trouble; would definitely visit again if in the area.

  This place , except for the roast duck, is terrible. The roast duck is the only saving grace and it was quite tasty. All the other dishes ordered were NOT authentic at all – the fried tofu was mushy instead of crispy and the preserved vegetable pork was nothing like the real dish – this was the worst version I have ever tasted , tasted like someone out a whole heap to char siu sauce and some preserved vegetables to make a stir fry. Terrible! Would never visit again but give a 2 as the duck was good

  Visiting some friends in London and all craving for Chinese we ended up choosing this restaurant of cantonese food. The place is small, even in the upper floor, however it was filled with english locals, tourists and asian (chinese) people so we decided to try it out. The service is fast so don’t order all at once otherwise your table will be filled with food. Start slow and you’ll keep getting the food in and enjoy it while hot. The employees don’t speak the best english but it’s enough to know they’re getting your order right. We ordered the duck, a whole duck. The guy that served it had amazing skills as he dismantled the whole duck right there in front of us with amazing speed. The food was very good, not overly greasy or sweet, all with the right balance. The duck was delicious and the rice very fresh. The prices are very affordable.

  Somewhat indifferent Cantonese restaurant with quick service and low prices. My companion had chicken fried rice which was tasty enough, not too greasy, but suffering from an absence ofvegetables. I had the sizzling scallops with ginger and green onions. It wasn’t brought to the table sizzling, and would have beentastier if the scallops had been seared at a higher temperature. My dish wasquite bland and flavoredsolely with ginger and onion.More seasoning, a higher cooking temperature, and a little garlicallwould have helped. There was some good Chinese black vinegar (a malt vinegar similar to balsamic) on the table that helped too. At least there there plenty of scallops.

  This was a favourite of mine. Have been coming here for years for the crispy belly pork. But sadly on my last visit I discovered it has been taken over. The surly/friendly waiters who’ve worked here for years are no more the portions have been reduced and the lovely homemade plum chilli oil has been replaced by the ubiquitous chilli oil. Have started my search for a new venue.

  Incredibly delicious three-meat meal. Cheap as well. Must try.
