Canton Inn Takeaways - Paraparaumu

I absolutely love this place! It's my favorite spot for quick bites, and I'm always impressed by how polite the wonderful owners are.

The food was incredible; I couldn't find a single fault. The staff were polite and very knowledgeable, always ready to assist with any adjustments. The service was outstanding, and I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.

The service here is incredibly friendly, and the food is excellent with generous portions. The pork buns are absolutely delicious! This place is definitely worth a visit, and we will be returning.

Canton inn sits opposite a liquor outlet and the mad butcher in a row of fast food outlets (kebabs, pizza, pastry) on kapiti road, paraparaumu. It wasn 't my idea, I was acting on instructions Chinese take aways from kapiti road. <br/ It is obviously a take away and restaurant with plenty of tables. Not overly ornate but it has the standard golden cat with one paw raised, red and gold posters in a script that could be saying anything and one of those glass pictures this one of a waterfall that doubles as a clock, barometer, and currency converter. <br/ Standing in front of the fluorescent menu board we decided on five dishes for six people <br/ Roast pork egg foo yung<br/ Ginger beef <br/ king prawn chow mein<br/ Sweet and sour pork<br/ Combination meat with cashews<br/ ....... And rice<br/ <br/ In retrospect this was probably enough for nine or ten people.<br/ <br/ A very friendly Asian lady took our order. After us a guy on a mobility scooter came in and gave his order. The lady was so nice to him and when his food arrived she brought it out specially and opened the door for him. When ours arrived there was s bottle of soft drink tucked inside gratis. I wasn 't used to this sort of treatment in the big city.<br/ <br/ I also couldn 't get over how cheap the dishes were $80 for a meal for ten people! A sign under the menu board said it all 'dinner buffet all you can eat with tea or coffee and chicken and corn soup $15.90. ' <br/ <br/ When we got back to family and friends it was obvious we 'd over ordered but no matter everyone agreed that for a Chinese takeaway it was very good food and very good value. There was plenty of meat and plenty of prawns where they were supposed to be and the flavours were nice and not overly sweet. ... Except for the sweet and sour pork. I think you can gauge a cafe by its poached eggs, a restaurant from its rare fillet and a Chinese restaurant from its sweet and sour pork. I dissect a piece and separate the meat from the rest. How much fat, meat and batter? Some are almost all fatty gristle, few have a high meat content. Canton has little fat, a small piece of real meat and a rather dense, savoury bread like substance surrounding it. It tasted ok though.<br/ <br/ Good, cheap, lovely service, tasty recommended if on the coast.

Food can be a little greasy but overall very nice. The price is spot on. Smorgasbord is nice too and well priced. The curried potatoes are surprisingly delicious!
