About Canton House

Canton House is a Chinese takeaway at 27 Manchester Rd in Manchester, serving a menu in the style of an old-school Chinese chippy. English and Chinese dishes share the list, so salt and pepper chicken and chips sit alongside fried rice. Half fried rice and half chips is an option for combining the two in a single order. Chicken balls come with curry sauce. The kitchen has operated under new owners for a couple of years, and the recipes carried over from the previous owners.

Customer Review Summary

Salt and pepper chicken is what reviewers raise most, described as crispy outside and soft inside with a nice bit of spice, while another singles out salt and pepper chicken balls with curry sauce as a stand out. Close behind are the seasoned chips with garlic, onions and peppers, the dark gravy that thickens as it cools, and a fillet steak in green pepper and black bean sauce that one diner calls melt in the mouth. Several describe old school Chinese chippy cooking, and a few who thought quality slipped after a change of owners say it was back to what they remembered. The complaints are specific. One reviewer found the salt and pepper shredded chicken hard and reheated rather than freshly cooked. Another calls the chips salty, says the phone order was rushed, and says a scallop they paid for was not handed over and prawn crackers were missing from the bag, with the reply being a sorry and a free item next time.

    “Ordered from here the other day for the first time. I can say I have found the best Chinese takeaway food was lovely. Very hot also big portions and I have been telling people about this place”
  • Jaggy
    “A good friend of mine told me about five years ago to avoid this place because since the new owners took over The food on service isn’t the same quality. I’ve just ordered food there tonight. The service was fantastic. The delivery was prompt. The communication was amazing and the food was delicious. Just the same as I remember it. I’ve just noticed in the comments. Many people saying the same thing, my friend said this is my personal opinion. The owners did tell me that they was trained on the old recipes from the old owners and as far as I’m concerned if implemented it perfectly five stars from me!”
