What Ruth I likes about Golden Canton:
Golden Canton is nowhere near me by any means. I arrived too early for a gig in Herne Hill and decided to grab something to eat to kill time. Although it's a takeaway the lady kindly let me sit in there to have my meal, and let me tell you it's the best chinese takeaway meal I have had in years! I live right across town in West London and it takes me about 2 hrs to get there, but I now visit at least once a month (cr... View all feedback. What Dennis Hill doesn't like about Golden Canton:
I ordered Singapore rice noodles and asked the server if they could be made without spice. After a moment of consideration, she confirmed it could be done. I also ordered BBQ spare ribs. When I got home, I found that the noodles had been rinsed and rewarmed, and the BBQ ribs did not taste like barbecue at all. I ended up throwing it all away. View all feedback.

Have been ordering from here for years. I quite like the food. It's what you'd expect from a Chinese takeaway.

The Golden Canton restaurant seems to have a mixed reputation among those who have dined there. One reviewer described their experience as the worst food they have ever had, criticizing the watery dishes and lack of meat and vegetables. Another reviewer was disappointed with their meal and ended up throwing it away. However, there were some positive reviews as well. A local customer praised the restaurant for its fair prices, consistent quality, and quick delivery. Another customer was so impressed with the food that they make a 2-hour journey to dine there once a month. Overall, opinions on Golden Canton seem divided, with some patrons loving the food while others had a disappointing experience.
