Quick info
About Cantonese Kitchen
Cantonese Kitchen is a Chinese takeaway at 97 Unthank Rd in Norwich, cooking for collection rather than for dining in. The menu pairs crispy shredded chilli beef with roast duck with plum sauce, and it also covers chow mein in roast pork and mixed vegetable versions. Dishes are ordered by number, so customers can name the item they want without reading out the full title. A small waiting area sits inside for people collecting their food, and it is not set up for eating in.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken balls are the most frequent draw, with reviewers praising their crispy batter and one calling them the best they have ever had. Close behind are the spare ribs, crispy chilli shredded beef, roast duck, salt and pepper squid, and the chow mein, with the deep fried chicken in peanut sauce also singled out. Delivery earns repeated praise for arriving quicker than quoted, piping hot, and for friendly staff and drivers. Several call it good value, and one customer received free prawn crackers, two cans of fizzy drink and fortune cookies. Some long-time customers say they still return after moving away. The complaints are about consistency. One reviewer found the sweet and sour sauce tasted very different from before, and another found the egg fried rice slightly flavourless and the chips overcooked, with lots of small hard ones and little potato. One reviewer said it was not the most incredible Chinese food they had eaten, though it tasted good and hit the spot. Another reviewer's friend called a meal restaurant quality.

“Best Chinese in Norwich. I moved out of the city 6 years ago and I still come back here as others don’t come close. Lovely people too”

“Pretty good overall. The staff were so friendly, really lovely. Food was ready quickly and tasted good. Not the most incredible Chinese food I’ve ever eaten, but tasty and hit the spot. Really good value for money too - egg fried rice + roast pork chow mein + sweet & sour Cantonese chicken was £16.40. Would definitely order from here again.”
