Canton Restaurant

Beloved Cantonese restaurant on 90th Street with dim sum, salt-and-pepper chicken wings, bitter melon cod chow fun, and Peking duck ordered two days in advance.

Canton Restaurant on 90th Street in Daly City offers plenty of ways to put together a shared Cantonese meal. Roast duck, salt-and-pepper pork chops, and steamed minced pork with salted fish sit alongside familiar dishes such as sweet-and-sour pork and broccoli beef. We like that mix of traditional preparations and approachable favorites, which makes ordering for different tastes easier. Vegetables have a substantial place on the menu, from garlic spinach and stir-fried bok choy to braised tofu with greens and black mushrooms. Fried rice, wonton noodle soup, and Hong Kong-style crispy noodles offer satisfying foundations for the table. Shrimp dumplings and fried shrimp balls add smaller bites. The appeal is a neighborhood Chinese restaurant where a simple noodle meal can become a varied dinner to share.
