Canton Cafe

Look, I really want to tell you not to go here so I don't have any issues booking it all for myself. But that's unfair. Canton is incredible. Their Special Black Chili Hapuka is divine. Hands down, fave Cantonese in Aotearoa. Can't get a booking? Keep trying. Too loud inside? Deal with it, the food is worth it. Think the mains are a bit dear? You're paying for their quality, value and quantity. Seriously, message me and I'll come pay you for your leftovers. Parking is a nightmare. That's not Canton's fault. Side streets are a good option. They allow BYO and the corkage isn't cheap but again, WORTH IT.

The pulse of Cantonese food in Auckland starts here. You can’t beat Canton Cafe. I have been eating here since 1998 and I will never stop eating here. The staff and family owners have become true, loyal and sincere friends. Let me rate the Peking Duck, Maggi Prawns, Hapuka and Asian greens as some of the finest dishes you will eat anywhere. There is also plenty of other knock out dishes to choose from. A great venue for groups of 4 to 8 people as the dishes all deliver for these numbers.

My relatives have raved about this tasty establishment for years, so I was rapt to finally dine here. My cousin and I booked for 6:30 pm whilst en route on a Sunday evening. We arrived 15 minutes early and were greeted by a smiling server. Our 3 dishes were served within 5 minutes - you can't get better service than that! 😍😍 We ordered a hapuka fish dish, lemon chicken, and stir-fried beans. I've NEVER tasted more delicious beans in my life. And I was raised vegetarian, so I've been around a bean or two - haha The restaurant was busy with a stream of diners. Excellent meals, wonderfully warm staff - and like the Terminator - I'll be back 👍😍😍

I have been coming to this place for over 20yrs now! Restaurant was introduced to me by my in-laws. Never have liked Chinese food but this place changed my taste buds! It’s absolutely mouth watering. We don’t really explore the menu as we only order few regular dishes. Prawns with black chill sauce and chicken fried rice is the best and top selling items! What’s surprising is the flavour has not changed since the day one I had them! Keep up the good work and maybe a tinny suggestion, just need a better customer service and it will be a 5 star! Thank you
