“The food is always piping hot and is always excellent! My husband is diabetic and this Chinese doesn’t affect his blood sugar levels”
- Martin Smith
“Used to get a great bit off food in here, last 2 have been extremely poor, nearly 40 quid on tasteless food, solid chips, genuinely only managed to pick 8/10 chips from the packet, satay has changed, no taste, rice and noodles very slimey, hate leaving a bad review, but needs must as its happened twice now.”

“If you like vegetables order the salt and pepper chicken because you get 92% vegetables and 6 small pieces of chicken. Don’t think I will return here. It was ready within minutes.”
- Stuart Robison

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on Canton Express. Praise centres on food that arrives piping hot, with several calling it excellent and one saying they have not used another Chinese takeaway since finding it. One reviewer adds that the food does not affect a diabetic husband's blood sugar, and another calls the service and food brilliant on a first visit. The strongest complaints come from recent visits. Two longtime regulars say their last two orders were poor, describing solid chips, tasteless satay, slimy rice and noodles, and salt and chilli chips so salty they were left uneaten. Other reviewers found the Peking ribs dreadful, the satay chicken rubbery, and the salt and pepper ribs tasteless. One says chips and curry sauce in the same container turned soggy. Another describes salt and pepper chicken as mostly vegetables with six small pieces of chicken. One delivery arrived over three hours late and luke warm after repeated assurances it was coming. A reviewer notes card payment requires spending over a set minimum, and another says the order was ready within minutes.
