Canton Cafe - Auckland Central

By far the most delicious Chinese food in Auckland! Love it. The quantity is great and it’s a great place to come with a large group of friends as they offer BYO. Highly recommend this place for all Chinese lovers! We had the Sweet Corn Chicken soup, Fried Noodles with chicken, Black Chili chicken and Chicken fried rice! All were super delicious.

The staff should be commended alone for having to deal with BYO groups every week! Always loud busy and chaotic at canton. <br/ <br/ We had a group of 19 and booked 2 weeks in advance which already was quite hard to secure a booking. Service was polite and helpful, but didn’t interact with staff too much. They are really quick at cleaning tables and organising the chaos. <br/ <br/ Food came out relatively quickly. I tried the fried dimsum, noodles and pork and bokchoy on rice. All these dishes were really good and worthwhile for price point. Serving sizes are large so can definitely share between 2-3. Price is expensive but again it’s a good place to share meals. <br/ <br/ BYO is super cheap at $2.50 per person and you can bring in whatever as long as it’s low (rtds accepted). Also note only one bill per table.

Canton. wow. I write this to you as a thank you. thank you. Persuaded by my friends to go here. I was heading in with an open mind. Now a quick side note, I recommend, no I don't recommend. IM telling you, book a table! be ready it's busy, it's loud, but it adds to the whole dining experience. WOntons were a bit meh. Ways to improve? more meat, that's what she said Ahah I kid, I kid. Now, what did I love you may ask? The noodles wow, absolute deal-breaker. It was a taste cleanser after all the deep-fried options we ordered. I recommend these. They sure are tasty. Now the prawns. I am not a prawn girl, but wow. These were great. Tasty and crispy. My friend persuaded me to eat them as she ordered too much. SIde note, the portions are big, so order light, you can always order more. That's it.

This place is an absolute banger. I went here with my friends and we had such an amazing time. It was really busy which is always a good sign so we walked in all excited and sat down at our table. We ordered the deep fried dim sum, chicken noodles, prawns, wontons and fried squid. The service was top notch and the staff were all very friendly. The servings sizes are quite big so definitely don't over order as when it arrives at your table, you will be shocked. Overall loved my experience here at Canton Cafe and would 100% go back for another great feast.

Canton Cafe is a great place for large groups of friends to order and share via the lazy susan tables upstairs. While it is a little pricey and can get very loud at full capacity; it's always a solid choice.
