As a chinese, i have to say swedish people are really nice or incredibaly naive to give so high comment for this canton house, it has the worst taste and highest price at the same time from my experiences of dining in all kinds of chinese resturants in europe. like the newspaper framed in the resturant window says, I am...

Most chinese restaurants in Sweden offer a huge variety of greasy deep fried items and what I call "swedenised" dishes. No flavour, thickening agents, too much sauce etc. Canton is one of my favourite restaurants. My partner and I go every month or two. Our favourite dishes are the duck with taro and five spice pork.

Peking duck, marinated beef and fried duck were all very good and reminded of good Chinese food in the UK. Our first visit but look forward to coming whenever we visit Göteborg

i´ve been to this place countless times, i´ll always have the peking duck and fried rise with honey glazed pork, and seriously they always deliver!. the surrounding might not be top notch, but you come her for the food and the staff is very friendly.

Being a neighbour I've been to Canton House numerous times and I never tire. Swedish Chinese restaurants are generally not very "Chinese", rather some kind of hybrid kitchen and after growing up with it I can't really say I like it. Canton House is the shining star on the Chinese kitchen sky and there is no compettion...or alternative if you're... More

Visited the Canton on a Sunday. We were a wee bit late, it shuts at 10, but they still managed to fit us in when we arrived at the back of 9. About a 20 min walk from Viktoriagatan where we were staying. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, nice and spicy and suited our British palate. Both of us had a... More

Attractive little restaurant a little tucked away. A good choice if you're wanting Chinese food in Gothenburg.

Very satisfied. Authentic Chinese food, great atmosphere, perfect service. Only disappointment was the Peking Duck, made on duck breast, no crispy skin, to be avoided if you love the real thing. But go there, lots of other great dishes will put a big smile on your face.

Authentic cantonese food. Best Chinese restaurant in town. Slow but great service. Could add more vegetarian alternatives.
