About Canton Star
Canton Star is a Chinese takeaway in Selby, based at 32 Barlby Rd. The kitchen cooks Chinese food, and the menu includes salt and pepper ribs and salt and pepper wings, two dishes built on the same seasoning. Prawn toast sits among the starters, so an order can begin with a small dish before the larger plates. The shop works as a takeaway, so all food is prepared for eating elsewhere.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken balls come up most often, with diners praising them in sweet and sour form and on their own, alongside egg fried rice and crispy dumplings. Thai chicken wings are called truly sensational, and salt and pepper ribs earn praise from one diner. Several describe food prepared fresh and cooked to order, not gloopy or overcooked, with good value and generous portions. The complaints are sharper but fewer. Two one-star reviewers found battered, soggy, fatty starters and prawn crackers with no taste, and one found the ribs in a salt and pepper box with curry sauce tough, saying the cost felt unjustified. One reviewer describes prawn toast as bland, greasy and not homemade, and another received beef instead of chicken on two orders in a row. Still, collection is repeatedly described as quick, with one diner saying orders are always ready when promised.

“Not overly impressed, twice in a row that they have given me the wrong order, asked for a chicken meal both times and got beef instead, not very good”
- Marc Lightfoot
“Must have driven past this place a hindered times since moving to the area and finally gave it a shot tonight. Very impressed with the quality of the food and the portion size. Will become a regular visitor from now on.”
- Richard Carter
“Absolutely shocking!! The worst I’ve ever had!! We ordered the salt and pepper box with added curry sauce. The meat had a green tinge in the middle, the ribs were like eating my grandads tough old boots! Shocking! And for the price of £26 I can safely say I hope I never step foot in there again. No wonder he tries chucking vouchers at you to get you back in. It’s a no from me.”
- Robert Hatch
