Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I don't know what happened to the Egg Foo Young since I first tried it, but I no longer recommend it. The patties are smaller and the gravy was thinner and tasted watered down. What a disappointment!

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out last week. The overall atmosphere of the place is very nice! It's not too loud and It isn't too busy, there were only a few other tables eating while we were there. The staff was very nice and friendly and it was pretty fast. We didn't have to wait long for our food (which was cooked fresh) and I thought it was delicious. The orange chicken was perfect. It wasn't hard to chew like orange chicken I have had before. It was perfectly light and crispy. Also my shrimp egg foo yung was delicious! The only problem we had was when we used the Yelp coupon ($30 for $20). We ordered an appetizer during happy hour (which was half off, because of happy hour) and they told us because we used the coupon from Yelp we shouldn't have received half off on the appetizer. I don't know if they are telling us we shouldn't have ordered it or what, but we showed them our $30 for $20 coupon when we ordered. They didn't have to give us half off. Overall though, it is good food and I would recommend it to anyone looking to fulfill your chinese food craving!

I arrived to pick up my order. I gave them my name and they didn't have the food. The guy picked up another order read the name "Patrick" and handed to me. Unfortunately, my name isn't "Patrick", or else I would have taken my food and been on my way. I explained that I wasn't "Patrick" and gave him my name again. Once again he pushes the food toward me and says "Patrick". I was a bit frustrated and left without my order. The next day I looked at my bank account online. They charged me anyway, even though I never got my food. Who the hell is "Patrick" and why did they keep trying to get rid of his food?

This place is horrible. Gosh!!! Where do I start? Ordered lunch special. Lo mein tastes like crap plus they served me with white rice instead of fried rice like I ordered. Worst place ever. I'm definitely not going back. These people are fake Asians. They don't have any regular again food. Gosh horrible!!!! Wish I can give them zero stars.
(1)Lance M.
Very rude. Good food but I thought my wife left cash on the table. So I did not put a tip on the receipt. The waitress chased me outside and demanded a tip rudely. So I gave her $2 only. I'm a family of 8 that will never go back. This was about 2 weeks ago.
(1)Donna C.
Great food, great service, fair prices, and even better during happy hour! We've been going here for years and we love it!
(5)Brad C.
Possibly the worst Chinese restaurant in town. They never get an order correct. They respond in a rude manner when it is politely brought to their attention. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE.
(1)Tom G.
I ordered take out - 2 entrees (happy family and green chicken and shrimp curry) and the two eggs. For nearly $30 I expected a ton of food, but it was pretty standard as far as quantity. There was no rice included (but I think there was supposed to be, hence my 3 stars instead of 4). The food was very good. There are like 9 other Asian restaurants within a mile or so of Canton Dragon (Jade Palace, Cha Da Thai, Ling & Louie's, Akita Sushi, Hiro Sushi, Red House, Bamboo Club, Quik Chinese and Sushi Ko), so not sure if I'll be back.

I think I wanted to like this place more because Yelp offered a 15% off the bill, that I didn't get to use anyways. Apparently you have to write the review while in the restaurant, then show it to the management, then they will give you the discount. Talk about pressure. Since Yelp doesn't allow you to post a review, only draft it, I was unable to do this, or use the coupon. The food was alright, nothing fancy. The egg drop soup was very jelly like, and reminded me of weird school lunch. Not sure if this is normal but i've never had jelly soup before. The staff was friendly, and I believe its family operated. Would eat there again, but now know I can't use the discount, especially after writing this.

I'm feeling generous tonight, and am willing to splurge on the second star. Mom was in the hospital across the street, and really wanted some hot and sour soup and chicken chow mein. Went across the street with my roommate in tow, and we decided to have a drink while waiting for our food to go. Our order - Small hot and sour soup Canton sampler (ribs, fried shrimp, egg rolls, crab puffs) Pork dumplings Chicken chow mein 2 hard alcohol drinks Well - the drinks were right - and poured on the heavy side. That accounts for one of the stars. The bartender was a sweetheart, which is the other star. I can't report on the hot and sour soup. Mom had about two spoons of it, said it was fine, but didn't want anything more. And insisted I take the chicken entree home with me, she had no appetite at all. The sampler. Mostly tasteless and unremarkable. Except the crab puffs. They were memorable because they were so incredibly sweet I couldn't even finish one. The filling seemed to have as much powdered sugar as cream cheese. Not something I'm used to, and not pleasant. Pork dumplings I can't comment on - as we got BBQ sliced pork instead. Sigh. Chicken chow mein - I know it's supposed to be a mild (bland) dish - but they even managed to get the flavor out of the veggies! And something was missing. The chow mein noodles! Seriously? A noodle dish and you forget to include the damn noodles? I had to specifically ask for a plastic spoon for the soup and chopsticks. Too bad I didn't check the packages - would have also asked for hot mustard, sweet and sour sauce, and maybe a suggestion for a decent Chinese restaurant next time I am in the area. When the Applebee's in the same parking lot is an experience in gourmet flavors in comparison, you know you're doing something wrong. Mom won't be back at that hospital - hopefully no one else I know will either, so I can confidently say I will not be back.

Best happy hour deal around town ! Good food good service :) They just did a remodel , added some new items on their menu very relaxing too ! Def coming back !
(4)Gabe P.
Not a bad spot if you are getting lunch as they have good lunch special deals. Restaurant stays pretty busy which is a good sign. Service is fine and time of wait for food to come out is decent. My problem with this place is the food is very inconsistent. My first few impressions of the place went very well. Food was delicious, hot and ready. Then there were a few times after that, that the same dishes I usually order taste different or bland... sometimes tasteless. It is worth a shot if you are around the neighborhood or live in Scottsdale. I wouldn't press my luck driving down here just for this restaurant.
(3)John B.
It was okay, and good to know that carry out and delivery is available close by. Just not as flavorful as it could have been. The hot and sour soup, on the other hand was very flavorful...but only served lukewarm.
(2)Jay C.
I was surprised the food quality of this restaurant, simple but really good as a Chinese's standard.
(4)Kathy G.
I've seen this place in this strip mall several times and was always too scared to try it. My fiance and I walked in one day and were surprised to see how much bigger (and nicer) it is on the inside. You would NEVER know by just looking at it from the street. The service is kind, friendly, and speedy. We have had several dishes that were suitable for a little unassuming place like this. We always order 'special' dishes of our own creation with meats and chinese vegetables and whatever sauce we feel like that day and they are more than accommodating. Their dishes are much better than the appetizers. Not a huge fan of their fried rice either, but I am spoiled by LA Chinese food. For here, and especially in N. Scottsdale it's not too shabby.
(3)Daren R.
Great Chinese food with quality white meat and no gristle!
(5)Dee G.
If you are looking for good egg foo young or wonton soup this place is excellent. However, everything else I have tried here has been so-so. I would only recommend it for certain dishes on the menu.
(3)Lance Z.
Low quality Chinese food. My sugar-loving child found the sweet and sour chicken to be objectionable. The green curry with beef and shrimp was terrible due to a cost-cutting abundance of sauce-stretching corn starch. The beef was very low quality. We were up charged for wonton soup which was watered down in another cost-cutting move. This is not a good bet for Chinese food in Scottsdale. Please avoid and seek other options on Shea Blvd.
(1)Andie G.
I am not a Chinese food fan so I will keep this brief and leave the reviewing to the more qualified Yelpers. I hadn't been to Canton Dragon in three years, but was drawn to give it another shot after purchasing a Groupon Now! deal ($20 for $30 of Chinese fare) the other night. The place was just as unremarkable as I remember, but the spacious dining room area, ambiance and charming service made up for the marginal cuisine. My dining companion and I split crab angels, orange chicken, and scallop with garlic sauce. The crab angels were a tad overstuffed with cream cheese, but the outsides were crisp and quite good. The orange chicken was pretty standard - thoroughly breaded with a hint of spiciness - and did not disappoint. The scallops, however, were less than spectacular; it also lacked the shrimp the menu claimed to be among the contents of the dish. Okay. I'm done. Lesson learned: I really don't like Chinese food!
(3)Julie R.
Discovered this gem on my peds rotation. Usually have 45 minutes for my lunch and cannot be late! This place is super speedy. Between being seated and walking out the door- done in 30 min, BOOM! The lunch specials are definitely the best deal. Most food and variety for the best dollars spent. They have all of your favorite Chinese classics. Casual. Dependable.
(4)Kathryn S.
If I could give it even less than a star I would. I ordered food for the last time last night. $20 minimum delivery and since I live 4 miles from the store, I was charged a $4 delivery charge, plus I tipped on top of it. That is fine. The problem started when I ate the food. Nothing I ordered was good! The orange chicken, while dressed with an orange wheel was abomidable. Absolutely no flavor at all. It tasted like I took chicken out of my freezer and fried it. That's it. No seasoning, no flavor, no sauce. I got the crab puffs(or whatever their terminology is there). Where in the world was the cream cheese? It tasted like sugar!!! How does someone mess up a crab puff. I couldn't even choke an entire one down! Then the "egg roll" order I added on to meet the delivery requirement.....Took one bite and it made me want to throw up! Beyond terrible! I ordered late at night and after receiving the terrible food and trying it, the store was closed. I called back in today to tell them how dissatisfied I was with the food, and not only was I called a "liar" by the person who answered the phone, I was told they can't do anything because I was a liar. I have never been spoken to like this before, and would never speak to one of my customers like this. I offered to drive to them with the food, which I kept to prove to them how terrible it was, but she told me to call 911. I have no idea what this restaurant is thinking, or how they teach their employees to act, but clearly calling a customer a liar and then telling me to call 911 is completely unreasonable. The food is overpriced and terrible. I don't mind paying for overpriced food, but when I couldn't even eat more than a single bite, that is not right!
(1)Jeff F.
Some of the best Chinese food I have had in Phoenix. I love that this is a small place and that the food is consistent. Very nice staff and I think the owner served us. Definitely more comfortable than the jade palace around the corner, better food too
(4)Aneta W.
Waitress #1 spills hot tea on my mom, we specifically asked for a shrimp dish because we had a vegetarian with us and they served us chicken instead, we were charged an 18% gratuity for a coupon which didn't mention one at all and when we asked for the manager, Waitress #1 said they weren't there (is no one in charge?) only to find out from Waitress #2 that Waitress #1 is the owner... That was the last time we visited the Canton Dragon. No fortune cookies either...
(1)Nick C.
This place was accomodating for us, since they were open on Christmas and served Roast Duck, which we very happy about it since we tried going to other places and did not have it. The staff there was very friendly and because of their service we would definitely go back again.
(5)Caitlyn O.
Love this place!!! Order it for take out pretty regularly - my moms boyfriend says the Egg Foo Young is die for, and I have never ordered a dish from them I haven' t liked. They are very reasonably priced, and very frequently have a groupon now for 20 bucks for 30 dollars worth of food. If your craving some great chinese food definitely give them a chance.
(4)Jacqui B.
What an unexpected treat! Since we were visiting the area, we weren't sure who to ask to find good Chinese food. We tried a different restaurant at the other side of this same parking lot and had average reviews to make about it. The next go-round, we decided to give Canton Dragon a try.....YAY for us! The appetizers were on happy hour prices, quite tasty....but the Orange Chicken was the star of the show for this dinner! Yummy, just the right amount of sweet with a kick. My only concern was my peanut allergy that I warned the waitress about but she failed to keep me from the lettuce wraps until I was a few bites in :( Thankfully, my taste buds are designed to kick out the alarm before an E.R. visit was necessary! And the server was oh-so-sorry for the misstep that it all ended just fine. Will definitely go back to try more half-price yummies during happy hour!
(4)Blair A.
We love this place. The sea bass is our favorite. We always come back for it. The lunch specials are great too. The are always friendly.
(5)Susan R.
Food is consistent but the portions are sort of small for the price. One of my favorite things that is hard to find is the shrimp toast. If you have never tried it, try these they are crispy and delicious. It is the closet I could find to mandarin style Chinese food here in my area. The lemon Chicken is also very good.
(3)Christina N.
It is disappointing when you find a place that has only a few really good dishes and everything else is just, well...OK. And yes, they have a little bar in the back if you need something to make your day a bit better however when the bill comes out do not be shocked that the drinks cost way more than the food....
(2)Mu-Chium H.
Both food quality and quantity has degraded. The spring roll you get is now made with some kind of mushy paste thing instead of recognizable vegetables and meats. I used to only eat half the portion and take the rest home, now it's small enough to eat in one sitting.
(3)Laurie M.
Favorite chinese restaurant! The vegetables with the entree are always crisp!
(5)Dana S.
Fairly busy even on a weekday night. Good food. The green curry is quite spicy, but delicious. I like that you can get brown rice instead of white rice.
(4)Honest Reviewer A.
Incredibly surprised with how good their food was! My husband ordered the orange chicken which was lightly battered and had a GREAT taste. I ordered their chicken and broccoli which was not breaded and placed in a white sauce. I'm used to brown sauce, but it was GREAT! I would definitely pay the extra 1.00 for their fried rice. It was yummy. Also, both meals were about 9 bucks. If you check in on Yelp, you can get 15% off your bill. The staff is also very friendly.
(4)Eric L.
Writing this from the lobby, as i wait for my food. Why did i get here so early? Well, i ordered online and they didn't check their inbox. 2nd time in a row. It was easier to order online because of a language barrier that can creep in over the phone sometimes. They rushed the order through and I was walking out within 10 minutes. The food is generally above average, the crab angels and hot & sour soup are great and we have been up and down the noodle dishes. Avoid the eggrolls (weak) and General Tso's chicken or other red-sauce based dishes... they are too sweet and have a gentle scent of ketchup (not kidding, unfortunately). Many other good dishes here, including the Chicken Katsu, and Chicken w/Garlic Sauce. We live close and return to Canton Dragon somewhat regularly. Obviously the online-order screwup isn't a deal breaker. When they have screwed up an order, they are fast to offer a replacement or credit the account for next time. We will continue to return. Edit: about two weeks after this incident, they removed the online menu and ordering, slightly remodeled the interior, and added happy hour drink and app specials. They claim to be making menu adjustments, and I look forward to exploring them.
(3)Courtney M.
Why all the hate? I used to frequent here for lunch all the time. The prices were cheap and the food was always amazing. Every soup on the menu was good and the service was wonderful. I can't imagine giving this place any less than five stars. This place is never busy. I think every time I've gone I was like...one of the only people in the restaurant.
(5)Jnj H.
We started out with Sizzling Rice soup. It was outstanding. We ordered Orange Chicken, Shrimp Egg Foo Young and Combo Fried Rice. It was all exceptional. Your perfect neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We will certainly go back. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were large. We brought food home from what we ordered. If you looking for a nice, clean, friendly family Chinese restaurant you have found the place!!!
(5)Thomas S.
I've never eaten at the restaurant itself, opting instead to either pick up my food or have it delivered since I only work a block away. I have loved their food and consider it the 2nd best Chinese food restaurant in the Phoenix Metro area. The employees are always courteous and the service is very quick.
(4)Dustin P.
Omg the eggdrop soup was delicious!! This place is really great to get your authentic Chinese fix. I recomend hitting up the lunch special to save some money which i believe is from 11am-3:00pm. The music that they play is retro love ballads. Good eats for a quick lunch super friendly staff!
(3)Miss J.
I'm torn! I should give this place 1* but gonna give it 2 instead. The first time I ate here was for lunch. I had one of their lunch specials - shrimp in lobster sauce or something like that and the BF ordered crispy chicken without whatever sauce they slather over it. All was mediocre. The servers were nice & friendly and the space was clean. I really wanted to like this place. It was close to home and finding a conveniently good chinese place is a heaven sent. Not too long ago I got sick. I was craving for a nice bowl of Wor WonTon soup. I called in the order for two people (not for the BF but thinking of the next day -- so selfish!). The BF picked it up on his way back from the gym. I was extremely excited to dive in this "broth of life". It was far from bringing me back to life. The broth was flavorless! I could do hellah better with packaged ramen!! There were... hmmm... let's see... all of two wontons in the whole soup. Glad the order was for two: 1 wonton for today, 1 for tomorrow! Also, I swirled my spoon 'round'n'round and around again looking for some crustaceous morsels. I thought out loud to the BF that shrimp should come in the soup. For 9 buckaroos, he said it better comes in a school of 'em. (does "school" applies only to fish?) Anyhow, they did their math correctly though - there's 1 shrimp to go with the 1 wonton for today and the other shrimp to go with the wonton tomorrow. BTW, I'm a queen of doctorin'up flavorless dishes, but this bowl of soup was a loss cause. I'm still trying to recover from my flu. Go figure!
(2)Yvonne G.
Wow. Here I go again. I go and write a nice review and then I visit for lunch and am disappointed once again. Ordered shrimp with lobster sauce. Lunch combo included "fried rice", egg roll and soup. Hot and sour soup was just ok. Fried rice is a misnomer. When I think of fried rice I think of chucks of meat, peas, egg, bean sprouts, you know.... This was white rice with a drop of soy sauce and a slivers of egg (if you have a magnifying glass). Canton Dragon, Please don't call it fried rice. Do yourself a favor and just say your combos come with white rice. Egg roll was tasty and not too greasy. The shrimp with lobster sauce was almost inedible. It is not the shrimp and lobster sauce you get at other restaurants --it is totally different and in this case different is not good. Included corn kernels, a tiny bit of bok choy, which are never part of shrimp of lobster sauce. There was a blandness about it that made me leave the dish practically untouched. My granddaughter's beef and broccoli satisfied her yen for beef and it was quite generous and hence the two stars. Don't think I will be giving this place another shot.

Mom had about two spoons of it, said it was fine, but didn't want anything more. And insisted I take the chicken entree home with me, she had no appetite at all. The sampler. Mostly tasteless and unremarkable. Except the crab puffs. They were memorable because they were so incredibly sweet I couldn't even finish one. The filling seemed to have as much powdered sugar as cream cheese. Not something I'm used to, and not pleasant. Pork dumplings I can't comment on - as we got BBQ sliced pork instead. Sigh. Chicken chow mein - I know it's supposed to be a mild (bland) dish - but they even managed to get the flavor out of the veggies! And something was missing. The chow mein noodles! Seriously? A noodle dish and you forget to include the damn noodles? I had to specifically ask for a plastic spoon for the soup and chopsticks. Too bad I didn't check the packages - would have also asked for hot mustard, sweet and sour sauce, and maybe a suggestion for a decent Chinese restaurant next time I am in the area. When the Applebee's in the same parking lot is an experience in gourmet flavors in comparison, you know you're doing something wrong. Mom won't be back at that hospital - hopefully no one else I know will either, so I can confidently say I will not be back.

Not a bad spot if you are getting lunch as they have good lunch special deals. Restaurant stays pretty busy which is a good sign. Service is fine and time of wait for food to come out is decent. My problem with this place is the food is very inconsistent. My first few impressions of the place went very well. Food was delicious, hot and ready. Then there were a few times after that, that the same dishes I usually order taste different or bland... sometimes tasteless. It is worth a shot if you are around the neighborhood or live in Scottsdale. I wouldn't press my luck driving down here just for this restaurant.

It was okay, and good to know that carry out and delivery is available close by. Just not as flavorful as it could have been. The hot and sour soup, on the other hand was very flavorful...but only served lukewarm.

I was surprised the food quality of this restaurant, simple but really good as a Chinese's standard.

I've seen this place in this strip mall several times and was always too scared to try it. My fiance and I walked in one day and were surprised to see how much bigger (and nicer) it is on the inside. You would NEVER know by just looking at it from the street. The service is kind, friendly, and speedy. We have had several dishes that were suitable for a little unassuming place like this. We always order 'special' dishes of our own creation with meats and chinese vegetables and whatever sauce we feel like that day and they are more than accommodating. Their dishes are much better than the appetizers. Not a huge fan of their fried rice either, but I am spoiled by LA Chinese food. For here, and especially in N. Scottsdale it's not too shabby.

Great Chinese food with quality white meat and no gristle!

If you are looking for good egg foo young or wonton soup this place is excellent. However, everything else I have tried here has been so-so. I would only recommend it for certain dishes on the menu.

Low quality Chinese food. My sugar-loving child found the sweet and sour chicken to be objectionable. The green curry with beef and shrimp was terrible due to a cost-cutting abundance of sauce-stretching corn starch. The beef was very low quality. We were up charged for wonton soup which was watered down in another cost-cutting move. This is not a good bet for Chinese food in Scottsdale. Please avoid and seek other options on Shea Blvd.

I am not a Chinese food fan so I will keep this brief and leave the reviewing to the more qualified Yelpers. I hadn't been to Canton Dragon in three years, but was drawn to give it another shot after purchasing a Groupon Now! deal ($20 for $30 of Chinese fare) the other night. The place was just as unremarkable as I remember, but the spacious dining room area, ambiance and charming service made up for the marginal cuisine. My dining companion and I split crab angels, orange chicken, and scallop with garlic sauce. The crab angels were a tad overstuffed with cream cheese, but the outsides were crisp and quite good. The orange chicken was pretty standard - thoroughly breaded with a hint of spiciness - and did not disappoint. The scallops, however, were less than spectacular; it also lacked the shrimp the menu claimed to be among the contents of the dish. Okay. I'm done. Lesson learned: I really don't like Chinese food!

Discovered this gem on my peds rotation. Usually have 45 minutes for my lunch and cannot be late! This place is super speedy. Between being seated and walking out the door- done in 30 min, BOOM! The lunch specials are definitely the best deal. Most food and variety for the best dollars spent. They have all of your favorite Chinese classics. Casual. Dependable.

I don't know what happened to the Egg Foo Young since I first tried it, but I no longer recommend it. The patties are smaller and the gravy was thinner and tasted watered down. What a disappointment!

What an unexpected treat! Since we were visiting the area, we weren't sure who to ask to find good Chinese food. We tried a different restaurant at the other side of this same parking lot and had average reviews to make about it. The next go-round, we decided to give Canton Dragon a try.....YAY for us! The appetizers were on happy hour prices, quite tasty....but the Orange Chicken was the star of the show for this dinner! Yummy, just the right amount of sweet with a kick. My only concern was my peanut allergy that I warned the waitress about but she failed to keep me from the lettuce wraps until I was a few bites in :( Thankfully, my taste buds are designed to kick out the alarm before an E.R. visit was necessary! And the server was oh-so-sorry for the misstep that it all ended just fine. Will definitely go back to try more half-price yummies during happy hour!

We love this place. The sea bass is our favorite. We always come back for it. The lunch specials are great too. The are always friendly.
(5)Susan R.
Food is consistent but the portions are sort of small for the price. One of my favorite things that is hard to find is the shrimp toast. If you have never tried it, try these they are crispy and delicious. It is the closet I could find to mandarin style Chinese food here in my area. The lemon Chicken is also very good.
(3)Christina N.
It is disappointing when you find a place that has only a few really good dishes and everything else is just, well...OK. And yes, they have a little bar in the back if you need something to make your day a bit better however when the bill comes out do not be shocked that the drinks cost way more than the food....
(2)Mu-Chium H.
Both food quality and quantity has degraded. The spring roll you get is now made with some kind of mushy paste thing instead of recognizable vegetables and meats. I used to only eat half the portion and take the rest home, now it's small enough to eat in one sitting.
(3)Laurie M.
Favorite chinese restaurant! The vegetables with the entree are always crisp!
(5)Dana S.
Fairly busy even on a weekday night. Good food. The green curry is quite spicy, but delicious. I like that you can get brown rice instead of white rice.
(4)Honest Reviewer A.
Incredibly surprised with how good their food was! My husband ordered the orange chicken which was lightly battered and had a GREAT taste. I ordered their chicken and broccoli which was not breaded and placed in a white sauce. I'm used to brown sauce, but it was GREAT! I would definitely pay the extra 1.00 for their fried rice. It was yummy. Also, both meals were about 9 bucks. If you check in on Yelp, you can get 15% off your bill. The staff is also very friendly.

Love this place!!! Order it for take out pretty regularly - my moms boyfriend says the Egg Foo Young is die for, and I have never ordered a dish from them I haven' t liked. They are very reasonably priced, and very frequently have a groupon now for 20 bucks for 30 dollars worth of food. If your craving some great chinese food definitely give them a chance.

Writing this from the lobby, as i wait for my food. Why did i get here so early? Well, i ordered online and they didn't check their inbox. 2nd time in a row. It was easier to order online because of a language barrier that can creep in over the phone sometimes. They rushed the order through and I was walking out within 10 minutes. The food is generally above average, the crab angels and hot & sour soup are great and we have been up and down the noodle dishes. Avoid the eggrolls (weak) and General Tso's chicken or other red-sauce based dishes... they are too sweet and have a gentle scent of ketchup (not kidding, unfortunately). Many other good dishes here, including the Chicken Katsu, and Chicken w/Garlic Sauce. We live close and return to Canton Dragon somewhat regularly. Obviously the online-order screwup isn't a deal breaker. When they have screwed up an order, they are fast to offer a replacement or credit the account for next time. We will continue to return. Edit: about two weeks after this incident, they removed the online menu and ordering, slightly remodeled the interior, and added happy hour drink and app specials. They claim to be making menu adjustments, and I look forward to exploring them.

Why all the hate? I used to frequent here for lunch all the time. The prices were cheap and the food was always amazing. Every soup on the menu was good and the service was wonderful. I can't imagine giving this place any less than five stars. This place is never busy. I think every time I've gone I was like...one of the only people in the restaurant.
(5)Jnj H.
We started out with Sizzling Rice soup. It was outstanding. We ordered Orange Chicken, Shrimp Egg Foo Young and Combo Fried Rice. It was all exceptional. Your perfect neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We will certainly go back. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were large. We brought food home from what we ordered. If you looking for a nice, clean, friendly family Chinese restaurant you have found the place!!!
(5)Thomas S.
I've never eaten at the restaurant itself, opting instead to either pick up my food or have it delivered since I only work a block away. I have loved their food and consider it the 2nd best Chinese food restaurant in the Phoenix Metro area. The employees are always courteous and the service is very quick.
(4)Dustin P.
Omg the eggdrop soup was delicious!! This place is really great to get your authentic Chinese fix. I recomend hitting up the lunch special to save some money which i believe is from 11am-3:00pm. The music that they play is retro love ballads. Good eats for a quick lunch super friendly staff!

I'm torn! I should give this place 1* but gonna give it 2 instead. The first time I ate here was for lunch. I had one of their lunch specials - shrimp in lobster sauce or something like that and the BF ordered crispy chicken without whatever sauce they slather over it. All was mediocre. The servers were nice & friendly and the space was clean. I really wanted to like this place. It was close to home and finding a conveniently good chinese place is a heaven sent. Not too long ago I got sick. I was craving for a nice bowl of Wor WonTon soup. I called in the order for two people (not for the BF but thinking of the next day -- so selfish!). The BF picked it up on his way back from the gym. I was extremely excited to dive in this "broth of life". It was far from bringing me back to life. The broth was flavorless! I could do hellah better with packaged ramen!! There were... hmmm... let's see... all of two wontons in the whole soup. Glad the order was for two: 1 wonton for today, 1 for tomorrow! Also, I swirled my spoon 'round'n'round and around again looking for some crustaceous morsels. I thought out loud to the BF that shrimp should come in the soup. For 9 buckaroos, he said it better comes in a school of 'em. (does "school" applies only to fish?) Anyhow, they did their math correctly though - there's 1 shrimp to go with the 1 wonton for today and the other shrimp to go with the wonton tomorrow. BTW, I'm a queen of doctorin'up flavorless dishes, but this bowl of soup was a loss cause. I'm still trying to recover from my flu. Go figure!
