Canton Inn

"Overall, everything was okay. The young man placing the orders was great! Some of the other staff was not the greatest. And I know getting Sriracha was a little difficult for awhile, and most Asian restaurants would not give any out. But it's not difficult to find Sriracha currently. They either didn't have it, or didn't want to give any out. So, I then asked for traditional chili sauce & it was wild to see the man's reaction. He definitely did not want to give us any. But he reluctantly gave us 2 of the tiniest amounts ever. But make no mistake about it, he did not want to! (I'll include a picture.) I had heard wonderful things about their "Springfield Style Cashew Chicken". I don't personally agree that it's one of the absolute best in Springfield, but it was pretty good. The Beef Lo Mein was very bland. We both were very pleased with the crab Rangoon."

"They have the best cashew chicken and egg rolls in town. They also have really good general chicken. I have been eating here since I can remember and they are the best."

"Cashew chicken is a Springfield specialty. This place has been doing it right for decades. It’s a family favorite! Ignore the fried food calories. And please understand that the strong reviews come from customer loyalty, not from extraordinary food."

"Look, I very rarely write bad reviews, but with as unacceptable as this was I just had to. Ordered dinner for the Mrs and I since our usual Chinese takeout place was closed. I had the Generals Chicken, this was served SWIMMING in a container of sauce with as much garlic as they could add. Flavor wasn’t great and with so much sauce is just wasn’t appealing. Why bread and fry chicken if you’re going to soak it in so much sauce it’s practically a soup anyhow? The Mrs has the Beef & Broccoli, that had to be tossed immediately. It looked fine, but the beef reeked and tasted super strongly of fish. This was supposed to be beef, mind you. Why does it smell and taste like 3 day old fish? The rice served with the order was a rather small portion. I was expecting plain white rice but received a “semi-fried rice(?)” thing instead. I was basically just rice stir-fried with an onion, that’s it. I would have been fine with it except the rice wasn’t fully cooked and had a hard crunch interior. Overall not great, I made the Mrs toss the Beef & Broccoli as soon as I tasted it after she said it tasted funny, and I couldn’t stomach more than a few bites of the General Chicken. 1/5 stars, would not recommend."

"Pictures speak volumes lol. Canton Inn has been my favorite place to eat since high school and that's been a nice little minute lol! Go check them out folks, you won't be disappointed!"
