We love this restaurant because the food is tasty and fresh with big portions. We like our fresh veggies, and they provide them in full glory here. Our favorites include the bokchoi with mushrooms. We always order more dishes than we can eat because we love the leftovers we take home. Save room though, the sesame balls are a don't-miss treat! And the service is always great.

Large, delicious portions at a great price! This is a small Asian business run by a super nice woman! I was so hungry I ate our food before remembering to take pictures. I'll be back soon and I will get photos! The take out portions are large too! Great variety of comfort food. All the familiar Chinese offerings at great prices. The New Canton lunch specials are the best. I love the curry chicken with chow mein which I mix together to make curry chicken chow mein. The lunch specials also come with a soup, usually hot & sour which has the perfect notes of tangy spiciness. The layout is different than usual there are two entry doors. The far left door takes you to their tea/smoothie and Boba shop and to-go area. The right door enters a small dining area for a sit down meal. I highly recommend New Canton. Pictures to come!

I'm always up for Chinese food especially when it's Lunar New Year. Since I'm frequently in San Carlos, I've always wanted to try New Canton as I usually see people getting take out from there. Anyway, this resto is not in the busiest section of Laurel street, but has lots of traction. I ordered online and was super easy and efficient to do so on my phone. I requested for pick up at 6:30pm and was ready by 6:15pm. Next door is a fruit tea and boba place, which I believe new canton also owns since the lady who helped me also rang me up and made my smoothie. At any rate, was happy that my food was all packed and ready prior to my actual pick up time. I ordered pork dumplings, honey walnut prawns, crispy fried house special chow mean and beef with oyster sauce. All were super! Pork dumplings were perfect and had both vinegar and Soy sauce on side. Honey walnut prawns were a little more mayonnaisey for me and wouldn't liked more walnuts. Crispy noodles were perfect and ask for sauce on side so noods are super crispy and not soggy upon eating. Nice sauce balance with the vegetables, seafood, and chicken. Lastly, the beef with oyster sauce was outstanding as it actually included vegetables - all that I love to eat (snow peas, mushrooms, carrots). All in all, a great find in San Carlos. My new Chinese go to spot when I'm in the area. Sorry I forgot to take good pics, as my whole fam was hungry! Happy Lunar New Year friends! Cheers to the year of the rabbit or cat (if Vietnamese)! Hope 2023 is off to a great start!

They do not skimp on the food at all. They pack the box to the brim so much that it's insane. You can literally feel the weight of the contents. At the lunch combo prices, it's ridiculous how much value this is. Easy 2 meals if you wanted to, especially if you drink water on the side. Lunch Combo E - fried rice, sweet and sour pork, broccoli beef, and crab rangoon. So much meat with an okay amount of vegetables, I was full for so long. Taste was solid too - nice and fast Chinese food slightly more authentic than a Panda Express. I was thoroughly impressed.
