  It's a nice quiet little place with pleasant workers and genuine food. I was more impressed with my meal than I was with some other well known Asian restaurants around the area. On top of that, the price is hard to beat and the service is very fast.

  If your looking for a Cantonese style Chinese Restaurant that serves classic Americanized fare, then you will love Canton China to no end. This place really takes me back to the 1980s, when Cantonese style food was far more commonplace in Southeast Lower Michigan.
  
  Unlike other Chinese restaurants in the area, the portions at this place are very generous to say the least. You receive a lot of bang for your buck at this place. That said, you will more than likely take a lot of it home with you that's leftover.
  
  I ordered Chicken with Snow Peas, which is served in a white sauce that is loaded with cornstarch surrey. I can remember neighbors from Hong Kong used to cook like this at the restaurant they owned. The bad part is when you place it in the refrigerator overnight, it will turn into a white gummy substance. However, it's nothing be afraid of.
  
  Moreover, the Egg Drop Soup that I had, also used a lot of cornstarch, which reminded me of dinning out in the 1980s. Next time I will try their Won Ton Soup  and see how it compares. Meanwhile, you have to love the fact this place serves egg rolls that use real bean sprouts. This practice has all but vanished from the local scene.
  
  So if you're looking for some very good, traditional Americanized Chinese food that we all grew up on as a kid in the Midwest, then Canton China is the place to go. The staff are very friendly, and will prepared your food the way you like it.

  I have been looking for a really good American-style Chinese restaurant here on the westside, and was encouraged by the reviews. I started with the Egg Drop Soup and felt it tasted of cornstarch more than anything else. Tried some of my husband's hot and sour. It wasn't bad. I don't think I'd order it though.
  
  Bean sprout egg rolls were good. They tasted fresh and the sprouts themselves were still crunchy.
  
  I ordered the Almond Boneless Chicken. Despite the name, it did not appear to come with any almonds. It was served on a bed of lettuce, which I like as an accompaniment for this dish. The sauce was served on the side, which was also good because the breading on the chicken was very crispy. Unfortunately, the sauce was a weird gloppy yellow (as you can see from my picture below).
  
  The waitress saw my face and offered to bring some brown gravy. It was better, and more what I expected from this dish. I was unhappy with the overall lack of seasoning with the dish, finding it rather bland.
  
  My husband ordered the Sesame Chicken, which I liked better. It had a bit of spice, but was rather one-note, tasting strongly of hoisin sauce. I wouldn't order it.
  
  Overall, I wasn't thrilled with my visit.

  Okay place to get some decent Chinese food. Not my favorite, but I don't really eat anything outside of vegetables so that could be the issue. ‍

  Thank goodness for this place!   We moved to Wayne 18 months ago and FINALLY found good Chinese food!
  
  Hot and sour soup:  not bad but not a lot of flavor.  I added a few drops of hot mustard and it was better
  
  Egg rolls:  yes please, I will take four more to go!  Crispy but not greasy.  Yum!!
  
  Generals chicken:  one of the best we have had.  Not greasy like a lot of places.  And real chicken (some places serve chicken that looks and feels like it was frozen breaded chicken ball)
  
  Among chicken: pretty darn good. Gravy was kind of odd colored but not bad.  Chicken was moist but the breading crispy.  
  
  We will be back!!
