About Canton House
Canton House is a Chinese takeaway at 61 Sheffield Rd in Sheffield, open Wednesday to Sunday evenings and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The menu leans on a char sui curry made with pork pieces, curry sauce and onions, alongside a Hong Kong style sweet and sour. Other dishes include quarter duck with pancakes, Singapore chow mein, special chow mein and special fried rice. Salt and pepper chips, ribs, soup and spring rolls fill out the rest of the choices. Orders are placed by phone and collected at the counter, and complimentary prawn crackers come with the order.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on the food, but price and inconsistent cooking dominate the complaints. The most repeated grievance is cost, with several calling the portions basic for what is charged, including a Hong Kong style sweet and sour and a takeaway for two that one diner says matched restaurant pricing. Chow mein draws mixed comments: one calls the special chow mein tasty but greasy, another found it tasteless with barely any meat, and a third received plain chow mein noodles in place of Singapore chow mein. Duck and pancakes were nice for one diner, while another found the quarter duck fatty with undercooked skin. Salt and pepper chips were lovely and well spiced for one reviewer and cold, with only salt, for another. Long-time customers say the char sui curry has shrunk to tiny pieces of pork in mostly sauce, and one group reports cold or uncooked food. One of them describes a counter worker swearing and making rude gestures over a refund request, after which the owners were lovely and refunded them. One visitor praised excellent food and clean premises, and a caller was met with an apologetic young man who offered the cook.

“Absolutely disgusting food for the price. Got char sui curry all curry sauce very very small and few pork pieces the size of a pea. Been getting char sui here for years Always had big pieces of pork. Not tonight though. 6 peas in the entire Porton all curry sauce with a Few onions. Won't be going back. I've been going there for years Always thought it was the best. Not as it was. Shame.”

“Service was great, staff were nice. Food was good, we had the duck pancakes which were nice, S&P chips which were lovely, well spiced. And a special chow mein which was tasty but a bit on the oily/ greasy side. There was quite a bit of grease in the tub so when we poured the tub out onto the plate, it wasn’t the best.”
