Canton Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in New Bern

Let's start with the 100.0 sanitation rating. This place is clean.

The husband and wife that run this place are the nicest, hardest working people. Makes you feel good to give them your business. Now let's talk about the food.

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had.

The chicken teriyaki is amazing and my wife is addicted to it. Its not your typical teriyaki. Its very very different and you have to try it.

My wife has been dying to try the beef teriyaki but every time we order they are out of it so the last time I went here I asked them about it.

She told me that due to supply chain issues the supplier has capped how much beef they can order and beef teriyaki uses a lot of beef. If they make beef teriyaki with their limited supply of beef then there won't be any beef for the stir fry, she explained.

The husband heard us talking and came over to explain further that they don't use just any beef. The beef he orders costs him $12/lb when all the other restaurants in town use $3/lb beef.

He is so proud of his beef he ran back to the kitchen and brought it out to show me as if I could tell the quality of the rare beef by looking at it. It was really cute.

This is only the second restaurant in New Bern we have found that lives up to our high California standards. They are from San Francisco which explains a lot.

I should also mention the price. Typically, we spend $30 eating out. Our typical bill at Canton...

really upset with this place i work at a call center me and one of my coworkers decided to have them today and not only does it take a hour to get our food . i get chicken fried rice and she gets shrimp fried rice we have both had this before we order from them here in the office at least ones a week there are like 15 of us here well, we take a bite and she calls me asking if the rice taste wired i said yes it does i was about to call her and ask the same thing. so we call the place to try and figure something out we only have 30 mins for lunch. and the lady over the phone has the worst attitude and she says well we have sent a lot of rice out today and your the only one saying its bad. well because it is we order from them all the time and today (out first complaint) she was like okay well we have to get the food back to give you a refund, i said no problem we got it delivered is there a way a person from the place can come and pick it up we cant leave our lunch is over and she said yes well an hour and half passes have not heard anything or seen anyone. we call back and the lady says you guys can keep it but your not aloud to order from here anymore all because we complained one time that the rice was bad....

First time trying the Canton Chinese Restaurant. Their Google review rating was good so I figured it was worth a try. They have a nice website with an online menu which is a plus, there were items on the menu that seemed a little more traditional than most American Chinese Restaurants. The person at the counter was really nice and answered some of the questions I had about some of the items on the menu. I was pretty excited about the restaurant because of the menu and the website. The reason for the 3 stars is because the food was just ok, but not something I would say, I can't wait to eat there again. I tried multiple appetizers and a few main dishes. I have to say, I was surprised to see Chinese BBQ Pork on the menu, so I had to try it. The seasoning (BBQ Sauce/Marinade) was good but the pork was too lean so it missed the mark. The egg roles were not good at all. The dumplings were standard commercial frozen type anyone could by at the market. Anyway, I asked for spicy and nothing was spicy at all. I even asked about the spicy level before ordering and asked for spicy. The food just...
