During a time of uncertainty it's nice knowing that your local BYO still delivers. With a restriction of 10 people, we venture out on a Friday night for a late night favourite, Canton Cafe.
Service was friendly and the food just hits the note. Sizzling beef is awesome and the black chilli chicken is also worth a shot. Will be back.
Look, you dont come here for the amazing service or high quality decor. But you always have a good time. Dishes served in large shared portions with bottomless rice, what more do you need. Oh yes BYO!! Also try the crispy pork belly starter. Amazing
It was my brother’s birthday and we came to Canton Cafe to celebrate. I feel as though we forgot about this restaurant because there are new Cantonese restaurants around Auckland. Apparently, my brother and I came here often as children.
Between the 4 of us, we got sizzle lamb chops with black pepper, garlic choy sum, green beans with salted olives and pork mince and roast pork bean curd with vegetables casserole. The food came out so quickly, literally once we ordered and 5 minutes after, we were eating! My personal favourite is the sizzle lamb chops with black pepper because it’s so flavourful and it’s a must get in my opinion. The casserole was super delicious too! The tofu soaked the sauce and goes super well with rice.
Only criticism is my brother and dad both agreed that the wok hei was missing, which is essential in Cantonese cooking.
