Canton - Stockport

We have used this takeaway for the last couple of years, and found it to be the best in the area,having tried the rest. The food is well cooked and tasty, and the lady (who always seems to be there), very pleasant and efficient.The portions are generous. Last night we had a bulk order for 8 people (that I took in the night before,and arranged to collect) I turned up as arranged at 7:30, and it was just ready to go. All food was hot, fresh, and very tasty, my guests couldn’t get over the great portion sizes, and wished they were more local! Thank you Canton for delivering your usual high standard of food.

Had two deliveries in the last few weeks, having never used them before. The lady taking the orders (I think it was the same lady both times) was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, efficient, friendly and helpful in accomidating my dietary requirements (I'm vegan). We were really impressed by her. The food was absolutely delicious. So impressed. The vegetarian chicken was great as was everything else. Definitely be using them again.

I've consistently found the Canton to be better than any other local Chinese Takeaway I have visited. Having moved from Harrytown to Hyde (and lived in London, Coventry and Leeds) and with Chinese cuisine being a big favourite I have tried many different local takeaways and a good few less local as I'm happy to drive to collect. The Canton is a little more expensive than others locally but quite simply you get what you pay for and with the Canton that's excellent food with good quality ingredients, generous portions and great, friendly service. The Black Pepper Sauce is outstanding (especially with the beef), the Black Bean Sauce likewise and the Udon Noodles are brilliant (I have them with the Char Siu instead of the duck). Maybe a little too much oil in the noodles, but what do I know, I'm not a Chinese chef!

I made my first visit to Canton last night (meal for one, lockdown and all that... and ordered my usual Chinese meal prawn toast to start and chicken chow mein as my, well, main! I ordered for collection and it was ready when I got there. I tend to find that whenever I order the above from anywhere, nowhere gets them both right. If the prawn toast is nice, the chow mein fails, or vice versa. But canton got them both spot on! So in terms of taste, I have no complaints. In terms of price, though, I have one minor issue. And it 's not as simple as saying it was expensive . The portion sizes were huge, which would suggest value for money isn 't too bad. But when I order a starter, I expect to be able to have room for my main. So I only managed half of my prawn toast... I also only managed half of my main. So I had half last night and half for dinner today, which is OK, I suppose! But if I only wanted it to last one meal, the portion sizes could be almost halved and the price could therefore have been lower. For the record, it was £12.60 for my meal... and there were no freebies. All that said, I 'll definitely go again, especially if I order for more than just myself next time. Almost a perfect take away. I 'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.

Cannot fault the food, it's very tasty and fresh, portion size is good, service is polite and friendly, Shop is clean. The only fault with the Canton is the prices. Its very expensive when compared to another, equally nice Chinese takeaway just down the road. Unlike other Chinese takeaways, Canton do not include chips or rice with the meal, so just the addition of chips or rice to your meal will add £2.10 onto the price, other dishes are also very expensive, ribs are £7.30! For example a meal for 2 consisting of 1 x sweet corn soup, 1 x ribs, beef satay and chips, prawn in cashew with egg fried rice will cost you £26.70 while it will cost 22.90 down the road. a single sweet and sour pork with rice is £7.20 at Canton while its £6.30 down the road. This can really add up when feeding a family. We would only go back if the prices were in line with others and chips and rice included in the price.
