canton grill seafood restaurant 广州烧腊世家

good and fresh food. had the pork friedricewith shrimp paste, good quantity and quality. should work on their customer service though. recommended

the food here definitely deserves 5 stars! the menu is packed full of many tasty options its almost overwhelming. 
dishes ordered were: two meats onrice(bbq pork & crispy pork), sticky friedriceand vegetarian hotpot.
the two meats onricecost a little bit more than other places, but it was fantastic, probably the best in auckland i've tried, pork was perfectly cooked & juicy, and they are generous with the veggies on the side.
the other two dishes were great and we had never ordered anything like it before.
can't wait to go back and try more dishes. 
if you like fried rice, this is the place for you, as they have many variations of it :d

came here today and ordered roast pork and shrimp paste on friedriceand the egg gravy prawns onricenoodles. the friedricehad no shrimp paste in it and thericenoodles were very bland. the service was very poor. the waiter forgot our order and didn’t bother to check despite walking past us more than 10 times and not realising that we hadn’t gotten our food after nearly half an hour of waiting. when we called a different waiter about our food not coming out he seemed to ignore us and not care either. all in all we ordered our food at about 3:01 and got our food at about 3:40. this place used to be 5 stars but i’m not coming back ever again.

i was fairly sceptical when my co-worker was saying this place has the best good roast duck when we were heading there for lunch. it was full and so we shared one of the larger tables with strangers, which is common in asia. the menu had quite a lot of standard dishes like fried noodles and friedricebut we were there for the duck so i had a 2 bbq combination onricefor $13.80. the roast duck was actually quite nice but i thought that the star of the place was the char siu pork. it was crispy and sticky and was quite sweet. once you had a piece you wanted more. portions weren't too bad either.

i have been told that their other dishes were quite average but i haven't tried it so can't say but i know that the bbq meats here are top notch. probably my favourite char siu in auckland but i've had marginally better roast duck elsewhere.

unsure whether to  laugh or cry , originally wanted to get a meal at golden charcoal duck but was shut so came here instead to buy a roast pork onriceto take home and when i got back home this meal was just mainly fat with chewy greens biff in.
my guess is the best part of the pork belly is kept for the diners and the fatty ones for takeouts, i know sometimes people do buy the fatty pork as part fillings for pies, baos, won hons and/or dumplings.
 so in my case i trimmed  of the lean bits and cook fryriceinstead.

their $10 lunch specials are amazeballs. good value for money, free soup/broth of you eat there, only downer is that you may have to share a table when its busy/crowded. decor is meh; also right next to bus stop but if you happen to be in area around lunch time it's worth it. one best young chow friedricedishes in auckland ample serving size and generous with pork/prawns, duck and bbq pork onricealso reasonable, really can't complain for $10 dine in.

canton grill is a very good chinese restaurant. they are more on the good restaurant side but what's great is they servericedishes which is perfect for lunch. big tables and good service. i go around auckland ordering chinese crispy pork and theirs is a bit different where the fat is rendered down more so you feel less sinful of what you're eatinf 😂 but ultimately you can clearly taste the seasoning and it's go-od.

it's so horrible. i'll never come back there again. i ordered 3 meals. seafood laska is so big but doesn't have any flavor or smell. prawn wonton noodle soup is like a bowl of boiling water, not enough vegetables or wonton. chef forget to add salt, don't you ? noodle is worse than instand noodle that i cook at home. last dish is combination roasted duck and pork belly that oki. pork belly is alright butriceis cooked hard. the price is affordable, portions are huge and services can be accepted. however, it's not a good recommendation for food lovers.

we visit the place once a week and never failed us to give complimentary soup which my daughter really like andricetea after we eat. place is clean especially the white table cloth that they change every after meal. good service and friendly staff!

i've tried many places for bbq meat onriceand canton by far has my number 1 spot! the bbq pork and roast pork onricewas great, plenty of meat, fast service and friendly staff!

best place to get roast duck or pork in town and reasonable prices.
a standard roast meat onricewith veg will cost $9.80 for takeaway or $8.50 if dining in, and if dining in you get the extra option of getting a large bowl of pork bones soup to start.
service is average, or poor if they're super busy during peak hours but the food more than makes up for it. their roast duck is delicious, with lots of meat and crispy skin.
their prices for half and whole ducks are $20 and $38 which is a little on the expensive side, but if you just order the lunch dish onricethen it's great value for money.
hard to tell in the pic but that's a decent amount amount of roast duck on that plate. all in all i'd highly recommend this place for lunch.

i had a tofu with roast pork and fish fillet onricefor lunch today. it tasted so good and the portion was very big, i loved the fried tofu in it especially which was definitely flavourful.

the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and looks clean and new (unless you get stuck in the awkward side room next to the tower of takeaway boxes). we come here often for lunch as the food is tasty and the lunch menu is well priced. at the moment they are doing a lunch special on theirriceand roast crispy pork/ bbq pork/ roast duck for only $8 but not sure how long this special will last for. as with most asian canton restaurants, you get free green tea and  free (very tasty) soup before your meal . my favourite lunch items are the crispy roast pork (which is especially great when it is freshly roasted) and the combination noodles (best when you order the noodles to be crispy). their roast duck is also tasty but their laksas are a bit of a hit and miss depending on what day you go. their portions are always generous and at lunch prices of mostly less than $14 its a great cheap eat! we have not had their dinner menu so cannot comment on that. the wait staff are quite nice and their english is enough to take orders with. the only big issue here is the male (manager?) who needs be friendlier. he always seems unhappy to be there are is often quite rude hence the lowering of the rating.  would recommend eating for lunch.

canton grill's servings are very generous. if you dine in, your meal begins with a huge bowl of soup. two items (e.g. fried rice, fried noodles) from the ala carte menu is definitely enough for three people. the food here tends to be on the oily side so if you aren't a fan you may like to take that into consideration when deciding what to order. i would recommend the roast duck on rice, fujian style friedriceand beef friedricenoodles with gravy egg.

canton grill seafood is an absolute must try for fans of canton (southern china + hk) or chinese cuisine. i wouldnt say its amazing that it distinguishes it from other chinese restraunts that has been continuing popping up around auckland recently. cgs is priced higher than most chinese restraunts but their proportion sizes are very generous. their 'lai tong' or starting soup is very well done. their bbq meats are also a must try and i would say be in around the top group in auckland. however their service is a bit wayward such as when had the tea cup open to be refilled, took them a good 6 minutes before refill considering how small their space is. also we didnt getriceuntil we asked them which is a bit unusual for a canton restraunt service. the tea (which i think is very important) was standard but could have a bit more leaves. the restraunt was clean and very efficient (took only 10 minutes before our first dish arrived). overall a very good chinese restraunt and definitely a must try in newmarket.
