With more than 200 menu items to choose from and a clean, warm atmosphere inviting guests to dine in comfort, Canton Seafood Restaurant sets the tone for a flavorful foray.
After initially opening in Chinatown 10 years ago, in 2011, the restaurant relocated to its current 923 Keeaumoku St. locale. Manager Peng Gong explains that the restaurant’s Cantonese cuisine draws influence from the southern region of China, and features healthy preparation techniques coupled with fresh ingredients.
Gong credits executive chef Sou Keung Wong with designing and executing the flavorful menu selections available at Canton Seafood Restaurant. Gong applauds Wong and his 30-plus years of experience for creating a good sense of teamwork within the staff, while also emphasizing quality control to ensure each guest enjoys a tasty meal time and time again.
“He brings authentic, healthy items to our menu, and uses less oil and salt in the preparation,” says Gong, when describing Wong’s extensive experience. “He’s very concerned with the continuity and quality of our food, to ensure freshness in the various meats and vegetables.”
Crispy Gau Gee Mein ($6.99) is just one of more than 40 specially priced dishes, and features a bed of noodles topped with shrimp, chicken, char siu pork and fresh vegetables, along with four pieces of gau gee.
Deep Fried Flounder with Lemongrass ($9.99 with purchase of accompanying entree) is a popular seafood selection — the chef prepares tender fish in a zesty garlic sauce, and the succulent morsels fall right off the bones. This dish is normally priced at $15.99.
