Taste of Canton — Restaurant in Louisiana

First of all, the place has been just taken over by a former chef of 10 years from 5 Haphineses Chinese restaurant in New Orleans. This is basically a takeout establishment, though there are a few tables to eat on from take out boxes only. No waitresses. This is a family-run establishment, using the same recipes from the former owner, according to the new owner. There’s no A/C at present, and according to the daughter, whom works counter, it’s been broken for a year. She told me that the renters are liable for such repairs. I sat alone at one of the tables to eat my order with only a fan running and the entrance door opened. It wasn’t that bad, however, but had I known ahead of time I would have taken it to go. Anyways, I ordered the shrimp and lobster sauce combo which includes combo fried rice and egg roll. The egg roll was large and filled with noticeable shrimp and other fillings, and it was above average. Freshly prepared, not sitting under heat lamp, evidenced by its crispy outside casing. The fried rice looked better than it tasted, but a little soy sauce and sesame seed oil and it would be a hit. The the shrimp and lobster sauce is one of the best I have ever had, very flavorful with enough shrimp to top it off. Both the owner and his wife are very pleasant, and I met the younger children who seemed...

Second time trying this place. The egg rolls are BIG! We love them. They give large portions. The "Beef With Hot Garlic Sauce" was very good. However, the "Pork Lo Mein" we didn't like so much. The pork was dry and lacked flavor. The "Mandarin Chicken" looked good but the gravy was greenish in color and tasted so weird. It had a strong curry taste. If it wasn't for the fact I poured it all over my chicken I would have thrown that gravy away and pour Louisiana hot sauce over my chicken and made the best of it. I ate it anyway, all the while telling myself I was eating a new dish. A dish I will never order again. If you want great Mandarin Chicken, please try China Rose...

was craving some Chinese food today, found out my favorite Chinese food restaurant is closed. Was very upset cause I've been goin there since I was a kid so I looked up some places & came across this place & let me say I'm glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the orange & general's chicken dinner with the combo rice, egg roll and egg drop soup. Everything was so good & fresh. The eggroll is to DIE for!! Just amazing. This is my new Chinese food spot! :) & the prices & portions are great. Spent about $30 to feed my family of 4 & a friend with plenty of leftovers for lunch...
