Canton House, a beloved Chinese restaurant in Welland, Ontario, has been a staple for over three decades. Patrons rave about its consistency and flavor, with dishes like the black pepper chicken repeatedly stealing the spotlight. Customer testimonials echo a deep nostalgia, as many have been enjoying the cuisine since the 90s. The restaurant primarily offers takeout now, a change from its buffet and dine-in days, which has left some fans yearning for a return to previous offerings.

Benny Eros reminisces about the restaurant's glory days while praising its unmatched taste compared to more recent establishments in the Greater Toronto Area. Newcomer Chrisse Allan was equally impressed, describing the spring rolls as “the largest and best” she’s ever experienced. Other customers appreciate the friendly staff and reasonable prices, although some lament the loss of indoor dining, rating the atmosphere lower for this reason.

The consistent quality and standout dishes like the black pepper chicken make Canton House a must-try for lovers of Chinese cuisine. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer craving comforting flavors, this restaurant continues to satisfy. Here’s hoping for expanded hours and a return of dine-in options to reignite its community spirit!

I've been eating here since the early 90's back in the day that they had the buffet, later they had dine in, takeout and delivery. Unfortunately now they only have the takeout option. We moved away from Welland about 25 years ago and recently moved back. Tried many places in the western part of the GTA: Mississauga, Brampton, Milton and Acton but must say that no other place had Chinese food as tasty as the Canton House. Over the past 3 decades the food remains very consistent. Definitely the best Chinese food I've ever had. Only complaint I have is related to the hours of operations and also there have been at least a couple of lengthy closures in the past years. It would be nice to have earlier opening hours at least on weekends. Also the delivery option would be much appreciated. Their black pepper chicken is absolutely amazing and nobody can make them like they do. Hope that with the revival of Welland this place can return to the way it used to operate back in the day.

Recently moved to my new home in this neighborhood. I had not had Chinese Food in months and was craving some. I decided to give Canton house a try as they had a lot of great reviews. So I ordered four dishes. Their spring rolls are easily the largest and the best I've ever had, the black pepper chicken was amazing, the beef with mixed vegetables truly satisfied with the variety of fresh vegetables, and the chicken fried rice was excellent. Canton house will definitely become my go to place for Chinese Food! 多謝你 Thank you!

Food was just as I renembered absolutely amazing. It's been a long time since I've been here. portions were large. Had enough left for a second meal. I was greeted by a very lovely gentleman when I went in to pick up my order. Looking forward to returning.

The Canton house is our go-to spot. We picked up our family fav tonight- dinner for 3 sub beef with veg for black pepper chicken and an order of Singapore noodle. Mrs. And I got to talking while I was waiting for my order and she said they've been open 40 years now and won the award for best Chinese food this summer. She did say that some nights are quite slow and it's thanks to the regulars for keeping them steady most weekends. They used to have a great buffet but due to too much food waste, they had to stop and after covid, are takeout only now. The food is awesome consistently. We've been eating here since before I was born. (Mom craved the egg rolls I've been told) I don't think they offer delivery, I always pickup. Worth the drive. Kind people fantastic food
