Canton City Restaurant — Restaurant in Montebello

I've driven by this place numerous times. It was time to check it out. I like to think that a good hot sour soup will be an indication of the flavors to come in subsequent dishes. The soup was not bad. I would have preferred fresh mushrooms over the canned stuff, but the soup was still tasty. The owners were very attentive and gave excellent service. The owner recommended I add the crispy noodles, they give at the start, to the soup. Excellent suggestion!. I also ordered the Canton lo mein. It was delicious. The shrimp were fresh and the chicken tender. What I really liked about this place was that the flavors were mild. They were not overpowering with vinegar and other condiments. Great mom and pop place! It was clean and service was quick. You can tell that the owners take great pride in their establishment. I definitely will return to try other items on the menu.

The food at this place reminds me of the Cantonese food we used to get when I was a kid. I don't know if the same owners owned the restaurant in L.

Funny how it seems that during the pandemic restaurant quality went down everywhere. And with no dining in people seemed to just let it slide. After all whose gonna get home eat and drive all the way back to send a dish back. And now it seems to be getting worse as the price of ingredients is rising so much. Seems canton city has chosen to use bottom of the barrel stuff for their orange chicken or should I more accurately call it "somewhat orange like dry chicken erasers." And I never thought anyone could mess up my favorite dish "Walnut Shrimp" enough to where I wouldn't want to eat it. I will never and I mean never be going back. Only reason they got 2 stars is cause my wife liked the egg rolls. But then again this is a woman who uses A-1 steak sauce like syrup on...
