This is one of the most important Chinese food establishments in New England if not the country, that’s just my personal opinion but I’ve hunted down a lot of good Chinese food over the years, and I’ve had many disappointments along the way, largely due to my previous high expectations and superior experience with Canton Village. I am SO glad and proud that they did the best they could, and persevered, through Covid and that their business is still here and going strong, it is a wonderful family run restaurant with nationally famous, very good food, it is the place I come back to from California where out west nothing compares, and the quality literally brings a tear to my eye. Just ask my local mom, she brought me back there for the first time in 7 years since I left, a little while back, and halfway through the meal I heard her ask: “Are you. crying?” And while I won’t confirm or deny; it was a moving meal! Excellent, consistent quality food, that stands on its own while they deal with whatever space issues they may be having in their dining area. I wish them the best in re-expanding quickly for the sake of diners who do judge them for it, but I’m so grateful they still prepare exactly the same delicious food I’m familiar with, that only a very few restaurants around the world I’ve tried elsewhere can fairly be compared to. It’s just that good, I hope they teach the younger generations to replicate their recipes and follow their meat selection and prep skills, and carry these tactics on, into the future, because they are only so rarely surpassed outside Canton Village.
