Canton Cooks Restaurant

I wanted to see why I would always see a line here. This evening we visited for the first time. Pros: thank you Yang for helping our table . Yang is a bus boy and was the only guy that attended us. Food was fresh, perfect temperature and delicious. The price is $15 -$18 a plate. We got the special 2 for $45 appetizer, soup and 2 entrees. I would say one plate is good for two people. It’s a lot of food so it’s worth the money. Yet they seem understaffed and not being attended or checked on makes me not want to return. Cons: 20-30 min wait to sit and another 15 mins to get a waiter’s attention. Verdict: I say come check them out. It was delicious authentic Cantonese food. But I don’t think I’ll return after the long wait. We felt ignored when trying to flag a waiters attention many times and that matters to me. I think Buddha blessed their business because it sure is busy! $$$ Total for 2: $55 not including tip 1 soda Tip: Oh don’t come here too hungry because you’ll have to wait !

Good service, bad Chinese food. Bad service, good Chinese food. You can’t have the best of both worlds. Besides, can you really call it bad service if they bring out your food promptly without all the bells and whistles? I was so excited to see steamed sole on the menu as it’s my favourite Cantonese dish and I’ve never seen it offered anywhere in Atlanta. Unfortunately, the current market price is a bit high at $38.

SO HAPPY! First time visitor on a recommendation. Sesame chicken, pork fried rice, lobster in Green Onion and Ginger sauce, chicken lo mein, crunchy noodle, egg rolls, and white rice. This is wonderful food with fast and friendly service. My picky 7yo now loves Chinese food and says we must return soon! Looking forward to making this a tradition!

Sesame chicken and broccoli was flavorless. Very oily and not the usual thick sauce consistency it’s known to have. Unsure what was in the wanton soup. It’s usually a hit or miss to find a good Chinese restaurant… sadly a miss.

closes at 9 on the weekends. the food is amazing when you eat there. I grew up eating canton and for a while the noodles where dry but today they weren’t!

They say the places that don’t look like much have the best food and this is definitely the case! This place looks pretty blah and I’ve driven past a fee times. When my friend asked if i wanted it, i can’t lie i wasn’t very excited! But i didn’t have any other suggestions so i just went along!! Amazing is an understatement! We got the wings as an appetizer!! I’m not sure how they get the chicken to fry so perfectly but it’s insane! I almost burned my lip eating too fast! I got the chicken with broccoli as my entree. It came out a little funny looking but she told me i had to ask for brown sauce! They fixed it really fast! And they were really nice about it. It was soooo much food! We had to get to go plates! My friend got sesame chicken, i didn’t try it but it looked really good. My food was really good so i wasn’t really interest in trying her food this time!

Great Great place. Excellent, Food, service and Great place to dine in alone or with family. I highly recommend this location. Ginger Lobster is the best, Fried pork chips, pepper steak and shrimp with lobster sauce is amazing. I am from NY and they definitely compete with China Town A must visit

Traditional Chinese with fine dinnerware. Soups with lunch special. Chicken seemed a bit soft for fried egg rolls were good egg drop soup was very good best in years. Service was fast but few spoke English.Food: 4/5

Not at all what I expected. Crab ragoons we’re almost empty/had very little flavor and my pepper steak just wasn’t at all what I saw in the picture on here. Very very disappointed. Spent $20 on something I don’t even want to eat. Got takeout so I can’t just send it back.

If I could leave zero stars that would be my rating! This was one of my favorite restaurants at one time however the service and food quality has hit rock bottom. The person at the register is so rude and unfriendly, well at least to me. I don't know if it's because I'm hispanic?, I see different treatment towards others especially caucasians. I believe everyone needs to be treated equally, with courtesy and respect. There are plenty of other choices of restaurants out there. Restaurant business is a roller coaster ride, you may be up at one point but can surely come tumbeling down if your quality standards drop.
