THIS IS for BUFORD HIGHWAY restaurant NOT PLEASANT HILL one. ***FOOD: overall good and authentic Chinese dim sum food. Good variety but the same carts full of the same foods circled around for awhile. The usual rice noodle rolls, siu mai, haw gao, bbq pork buns, sticky rice, congee, scallop dumplings, spinach dumplings, custard buns, custard tarts. All was good but would prefer more variety. Was looking forward to pan fried radish cakes, mango pudding or black sesame dessert which they didn't have but was listed on their menu. One negative is the fact that some items were so cold. I had to ask the server to go heat up our congee because it was ice cold. Some of the dim sum dumplings were only lukewarm not steaming hot. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ not bad for dim sum lunch. Ate about $100 ***DÉCOR: sparkly chandeliers, grand for wedding for special events, open, lots of seating but parking could be an issue, clean interiors. Organized well run place. ***SERVICE: prompt, servers were attentive for more water or tea, cart pushers didn't always understand what you wanted, just wish some of the carts actually turned on their sternos or whatever it is that heated up the food in the carts. ***RECOMMEND: RECOMMEND because their food is good and satisfies that dim sum craving. FYI - did go to the PLEASANT HILL CANTON HOUSE on MOTHER'S DAY & it was a disaster - chaos, late opening, 1.5hr wait until we got to sit down, not enough staff, manager was overwhelmed, dim sum was ice cold, expensive. I didn't write a formal review of CANTON HOUSE PLEASANT HILL location. because want to give them a 2nd chance.

Food was great, nothing to complain about. It felt pricey for what it is. The dishes weren't fresh to me, though some were. The lack of selection took away from the experience. Also, service was a bit slow except for the main lady. She was quite exceptional and felt like she was doing everything. I wouldn't go back but probably will look for other places to try. Gave it a four star because for a dim sum place that's in ATL, you can't expect too much.

Been going here for years! Unfortunately, I almost never get my food pictures here because I always end up feasting immediately as food is placed down before me. Some of my favorite dishes here: black pepper short ribs: my favorite cut of meat, seasoned with the perfect amount of black pepper. I love how tender the meat is and how the juices pair well with a bowl of plain rice shrimp shumai: so juicy, they're so sweet in that delicious seafood way. easily eating 3 servings of these chicken feet: not everyone's speed, but I personally love how the skin is so soft and spicy, basically falling off the bones as you take a bite in The service is best it can be with the crowd they draw in; it is so busy on the weekends! Definitely get in before that brunch rush. I've been when there was no wait as well as when it had a 45 minute wait. The waiters are kind and attentive. The place is definitely a bit older than some others, but it has that authentic charm to it. I would love to attend a wedding event here. Definitely will be back soon!!

You either already like dim sum, or you don't - this review is written by someone who does love it and rates this option highly. If you're not a dim sum person (as one of my table-mates definitely isn't), then you are not my target audience as I can't convert you in a short review. You'll probably dislike any dim sum experience. My expectations before I visited? I was planned for a long wait, fast service and an afternoon snoozing away the excess consumption. The reality? Arriving at 11:45AM on a Sunday, we were 2nd in line and the wait was very short. The front of house staff were super friendly and welcoming, and we were seated within about 10 minutes. The service was indeed SUPER fast, and we had to take a break a few times to catch up. Everyone was so helpful and quick to send in a special order if something we wanted wasn't on the carts. The place was packed, and noisy - it was a great atmosphere and stayed busy the whole time we were there. The food is hot and fresh, with all the items you'd expect. The staff is great at explaining and understanding what you're looking for. Great meal - awesome value. We will definitely return.

Canton House is a phenomenal Dim Sum restaurant! I have been here several times throughout the years, and more recently on Father's Day. It was a packed restaurant, but the food and service were still top notch. The Dim Sum here is authentic, delicious, and are pushed around via service carts (the best kind of Dim Sum)! The restaurant has traditional seafood restaurant / banquet hall vibes, and is not far from the BuckHead Bars (10 min drive). I love coming here after a night of drinking and enjoying authentic Dim Sum. Great place to take family, dates, or friends! An absolute must try!

Always love this place when I need. Dim Sum fix while visiting Atlanta. The service is super fast and the carts are always running. We are always treated very well and feel welcomed. The ambiance is typical of a traditional Dim Sum restaurant. We ordered a variety of items and enjoyed them all. My favorites are the soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, shumai, and baked pork buns. The price is typical and very reasonable. We ordered about 10-12 items and tea and spent about $70.
