What Scottish Hidden Gems doesn't like about The Canton Takeaway:
We had been going here for many years but it has recently been taken over by different people. The food is nice and the staff are friendly but its nothing like it used to be, definitely not my favourite anymore. View all feedback. What User likes about The Canton Takeaway:
The restaurant offers freshly cooked, delicious dishes without the usual overcooked chips or chewy ribs. The food is flavorful and the portion sizes are generous. It's a great addition to Irvine, especially under the management of David and Pauline Shek, who remind customers of the quality of the Peking Chef from years ago. View all feedback.

Dry tasteless food, limited chicken in meals. Delivered cold. Worst takeaway in years. Pre ordered and still cold on delivery.

Food was not good and the owners will try to overcharge you at the first opportunity. I was charged an extra £1 just to make the curry spicy. Please don’t order...

The restaurant has undergone changes in ownership, resulting in mixed reviews from long-time customers. Some find the food and service lacking compared to previous years, while others praise the delicious, freshly cooked dishes and friendly staff. Despite some negative experiences, there are positive notes on the flavorful food, generous portion sizes, and attentive customer service under the new management of David and Pauline Shek. Overall, the restaurant seems to have its ups and downs, making it worth a try for those looking for quality Chinese cuisine in Irvine.
