Canton Palace — Restaurant in Somerville

I first came here a few years ago when the restaurant only had a small main dining area. I went back last week and was surprised to see that they had remodeled the space and opened up a large dining area in the back! I'm excited for them to serve more people! I love that they serve dimsum all day long and have a large selection of classic Cantonese dishes

Ambiance open layout plenty of light from windows lots of seating

Service attentive staff food came out fast

Foods I had to get my fave trio of dim sum: turnip cake, soup dumplings, beef cheung fun! Everything was well seasoned and flavorful! I could eat 2 orders of turnip cakes by myself but I held back to let the rest of my family try some

Sauteed Silver Anchovy: fried anchovies are now my favorite! They were super crispy and paired so well with the Chinese chives and crunchy white vege ( not sure what it was but it was delicious!)

Pecking ribs: I've loved this dish all my life and again these hot the spot. These are Sweet and tangy!

Steamed chicken ginger and scallion: this is a classic dish that I always order if I can find it on the menu. The chicken was a bit too salty for me but maybe it's because I didn't have a bite with rice. I love that this dish is so simple and lets the chicken flavor shine!

Overall, this place had some of the best Chinese food around and I'll be back to try...

Great Cantonese dinner place! There are some good Cantonese restaurants that have good dim sum brunch but not very good at dinner menus, so I would definitely come back to try more dishes! This time we ordered roasted squab, it is not quail so rarer which means more expensive, $28 a whole, tastes very authentic! Lobster sticky rice, this dish point is not the lobster, if u want to eat lobster better order other dishes, such as ginger scallion lobster. The stir fried sticky rice they made are really good, dry not greasy and aromatic, I can just eat the rice without the lobster. The best dish I like this time is their 椒盐排骨 (salt & pepper pork chop? Lol) I ve tried a lot similar pork chop dishes in all the north Jersey Cantonese restaurants, this one is the best, tender and flavorful, garnished with fried garlic, a must try! They also have one person portion of soup, I ordered ginseng black chicken soup for $10, I don’t know why there are two white feet in there though, there are dry scallops in the soup too, ingredients...

One of my favorite local dimsum spots. Service is fast and have no issue asking for more hot chili & mustard. Everything we tried here came out hot and fresh.

The restaurant is a decent size so should be able to fit parties of at least 8 people.

Parking is on the street so it can be a challenge during prime time. Street parking is free on Sunday, at least.

Update : Tried dinner here and it was okay. The Kung Po chicken was just okay but the Peking Pork dish was very good. Definitely recommend the Peking Pork dish: has a sweet glazed sauce and it very crispy,...
