“First time ordered food for a takeout. This is kind of a recent addition replacing another Asian place.Pretty decent and untypical menu options. Hot Sesame balls stand on the top of the list followed by scallion pancake and saucy string bean tofu.Another interesting dish was dry deep fried tofu with half filled red chilli peppers. Tasty but totally dry … can have it as an appetizer. Their wide rice noodles were undone… plan to try other items next time. Overall it’s worth considering to dine-in.Vegetarian options: Some veggie options, but they can customize.“
“"I recently visited Canton Restaurant with my family, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Sarah, greeted us with a warm welcome and ensured we felt right at home. The service was impeccable, and Sarah's kindness and friendliness made our dining experience truly memorable. Despite a busy evening with a large group, the kitchen managed to deliver our food promptly, and it was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared.The price was more than reasonable considering the amazing service and high quality of the food. I can't recommend Canton Restaurant enough; it's a must-visit for anyone looking for fantastic Chinese cuisine and exceptional service in Santa Cruz."“
“The food is so so good! I really loved everything about the food. I really enjoy Chinese food and often am looking for a place I can call my go to. I will now be going to this place whenever I'm craving Chinese food! The lady was nice and welcoming! I liked that it's cozy and authentic. The prices are very reasonable! I'm glad I found this place!“
“I have been going to Chinese village for years.. I have to admit the prices have gone up, but definitely well worth the money. Family owned for years. Well done.Parking: Plenty of parking in the back same property as the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility perfect first floor.“
“Great food.... But do better with delivery. No sauce and no fortune cookies which really upset the kids when everytime you order chinese food the bonus is the fortune cookies. Everything else is great but definitely you gotta do better on the delivery we need soy sauce condiments “
“We ordered takeout from here so I can't say much about the service or ambiance but the food - pleasantly surprised with the quality and the low price point doesn't hurt. All the vegetables were fresh and everything tasted really good in as much "Americanized" Chinese food goes. I would definitely order here again.“
“Got the Mongolian beef lunch special, I was able to substitute the soup with a little bit extra rice, so hell yeah (I don't like soups much)! The beef was very tinder and good tasting, with a good amount of vegetables without overdoing it. The portion size was pretty decent and worth it. The only things I would change would be the decorations on the windows (so customers can see outside better), and the bathrooms were a tad dilapidated. Overall, I would definitely go here again, and might soon in the future.“
“I'm in town visiting and was eyeing another place nearby, only to find out it's like $30 a plate. Trying to get in out of the rain, I spotted Mandarin Gourmet and ran in. I looked a bit of a mess, but the man behind the counter welcomed me in warmly. He was sweet and friendly and the food was cooked very well. I had issues getting into the outdoor bathroom and he walked me all the way out to help get the door open. I spent less than half of what I would at the other place and I'm willing to bet the food was just as delicious. Definitely try them out.“
“Came in because I was craving phô.. I have to say I was disappointed with the flavor of it so I would not order that particular plate again.. however, their spork spring rolls are really good. I just wish their peanut sauce was a bit thicker... the salt & pepper wings def were the hit of the night. I would go back and order more wings if my stomach could handle it, lol... overall, I had a good experience there, and the staff was friendly.“
“Every dish is moderately seasoned. The best Chinese food I have eaten in the Bay Area (?) so far is actually in Santa Cruz! The scallion chicken is something I, a person who doesn’t usually eat white rice, enjoy the deliciousness of the scallion rice and the beef bones. Lots of slightly spicy ingredients, highly recommended! Remember to look at the hidden menu hahaha“
“Everything here was amazing. We got the pork dumplings and hot oil which was probably some of my favorite dumplings i think I’ve ever had, plus they’re handmade. The Dan Dan noodles were phenomenal, perfectly spicy and numbs the back of your throat with how much Sichuan pepper they put in it. Then we got the Red chili pepper chicken, which had an abundance of chilies, peanuts fried garlic, and was also amazing. Plus they home make their own soy sauce, which is also amazing. 10/10 would Chinese food again.“
