Customer Reviews
Underwhelming, as in. Canton Road has been touted as one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Metro. With all the buzz I heard, I naturally had high hopes for my visit. I’ve had a lot of Chinese food for most of my life so I have an idea of what’s good and what’s not. Taste is subjective which is why I found Canton Road’s food to be so-so. What they do lack in flavor, they make up for in creativity of the dishes. I also appreciated the snappy service of the waitstaff. Having a sofa inside the private dining room added to the positive experience. In all frankness, I won’t be going back to Canton Road. The only exception would be if the company was paying for the bill. Would I spend my hard-earned money here? Definitely not.
The best cantonese restaurant in the area. We dined in here a couple of times now and it’s good. Still consistent even after a year. The service is great. Serving time is a bit long, but you know if it takes long, it means it’s special. Worth the wait. I love the crispy pork belly. The swan dessert is also great, my wife and I love it. We’ll come back here to try other food in the menu.
We arranged for a large family dinner. This was a multigenerational gathering. The staff were clearly accustomed to such gatherings. Our table was ready, we were seated quickly, table waters, quickly, poured, and weight staff were ready to take our orders. We ordered Peking duck, naturally. This was prepared for us tableside. This had been arranged ahead of time. We ordered our other dishes at the restaurant. We had a great time, enjoying the food and each other‘s company. We would definitely come back if the opportunity arises.
Food is superb. Service is excellent. Blessy, the staff who gave us the food, is efficient, friendly, and warm. She made sure that no dairy was included in my food as I’m allergic to dairy. She went out of her way to ask the chef to make me a dairy-free dessert which was sublime. If you’re in BGC, go to Canton Road, an excellent Chinese restaurant, in BGC SHANGRILA Hotel. Well done, Canton Road.
