The Canton House @ Fashion Island Mall

The Canton House [@ Fashion Island Mall]

Rating: 4 / 5 stars

This is my 4th time here for the past three weeks. haha...I know, I should be trying other restaurants to eat. But I really wanted to eat the crab fried rice since the restaurant didn't have it last time. So, I came here with my mom for lunch today and I ordered the crab fried rice for 50 Baht [about $1.60 US]. Usually a lot of entrées in restaurants in Thailand are very small in my opinion and my entrée was surprisingly filling and I was full in the end. My mom ordered the fried flat noodles with fried fish in black bean sauce for 50 Baht too. I have tried that entrée before too and it was filling as well. Both of these dishes were great.

The Canton House is also probably known for and offers various dim sum dishes for 15 Baht each  [About $0.50 US]!!! But, you are paying for what you get. There are about 2-3 small pieces in a dish. During my very first visit at this restaurant, my mom and I only ordered dim sum. I think we ordered about eight different dim sum dishes in total. Plus, it also takes awhile for your dim sum dishes to arrive. The chefs steam/cook the dim sum dishes to order. You will not see the traditional dim sum carts passing by your table here. For drinks, my mom and I always ordered the Chrysanthemum tea [served cold].


The service is good and the staff is friendly. I noticed that some HS students working in this restaurant too and they would clean up the tables majority of the time. Overall, the Canton House is worth a visit. Come try the dim sum or other entrées too.
