Food was nice however could have been presented better. The drinks order was completely wrong which is fine but we were made to feel it was our fault. We had no privacy as the lady who was serving was just standing staring at us And as soon as we put our cutlery down to take a drink she was over to take our plates away, even though we hadn't finished our meal.
Lovely meal. Roasting kung po chicken was delicious, as was the prawn toast, fried rice and salt pepper chips (even if a little too much cinnamon) however the chicken satay starter was disappointing. I wouldn’t really call it satay as it doesn’t look or really taste peanutty. All came roasting hot so overall very impressed.
We always have take away from here and this was the first time we had sit in. The food was absolutely delicious and great portions. Literally cannot wait to go back.
Lovely food, friendly staff, pleasant surroundings. Only complaint was the plate wasn't heated and my food went really cold very quickly. Heat your plates and it would have been perfect❤
I popped into the Carton Restaurant by chance for a quick dinner with my wife. What a find... A wee hidden gem 💎 situated at the top of the Thornbrae in Johnstone. The food, the staff and service was absolutely top notch 👍👌 I would thoroughly recommend this Chinese restaurant. They have a great selection of dishes and have an early evening specials menu too... So don't miss out! I will definitely be back 😉
This review is for a takeaway meal from The Canton.
When we arrived it was very busy but our order was taken very quickly by a very friendly lady.
Here's what we ordered, photos added too:
Chicken Noodle soup - 8/10. Plenty of chicken and not too greasy.
Beef curry - 9/10. Beef was great quality, sauce was nice, just slightly salty. Fried rice was perfect.
Chicken balls - 8/10. Sweet and sour sauce was amazing according to my wife. Chicken balls had just a bit too much batter and not enough chicken.
Salt and chilli chicken wings - 10/10. Perfect batter, nice and crispy and very tasty.
Will definitely try again.
Excellent food and helpful friendly staff . Brilliant service and very good value
Perfect staff and tasty food 😋
Strongly recommended 👌
Went to Canton for some dinner knowing they would be busy two nights before Christmas. They found us a table.
We had the two course Christmas Special ( we were too full up to have the third course)
Thai Samosas and Chicken and sweet corn soup to start then Cantonese sweet and sour chicken along with Chicken Satay.
Everything was hot, tasty and nicely presented. Our waiter Yen was friendly, chatty and extremely polite.
The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated so all in all five stars… we will be back!
Johnstone is home to one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Greater Glasgow area. The food is of an entirely different standard to the numerous other Chinese restaurants I've been to, because you can tell that the food is fresh and not mass produced rubbish. All dietary requirements and allergies are catered for. This is a review for take away only, once I've had a chance to dine in at Canton I will amend accordingly.
Go to the Canton fairly regularly. Food never disappoints and cost reasonable. The staff are always friendly and seating area spacious. Shame not open on a Wednesday but as family run business glad they take the night off at least once a week.
Aye really enjoyed my meal chicken lovely and main was beautiful, my husband got chicken in gravy and said it was well over cooked and the portions size was a tad small for my liking but overall good experience
I don't think my big kids have ever sat in for a Chinese so I wanted to sort that out! Our food was lovely, service was too, looked after us very well. We are from the pre-theatre menu which was ideal and it is on at good times all week. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Popped in for some food while passing through. They were doing a small plates menu, and every dish was excellent - some of the tastiest food I’ve enjoyed in a while. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
A local, cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere. The food choice is good and invariably tasty with a very decent selection of red wine.
I'll be back for sure!
Honestly the best Chinese ever! The food is so fresh and the service is amazing. The East night on a Wednesday is absolutely unreal and the menu has so many different options. I will 100% be back
