“Amazing Chinese Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2012

While this restaurant seems dark and dingy, the food more than makes up for the atmosphere. Everything is made fresh on the premises including the plum sauce. The egg rolls are the best in Charlottetown and, quite possibly, all of PEI.

“Old Faithful - Charlottetown's Canton Cafe”

“Great "Canadian" Chinese food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

This is a great place to pick up some "Canadian" Chinese food. The egg rolls are the best in Charlottetown. The price is very reasonable as well. Enjoy!

“Maybe ok if you like western Chinese food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

First, I must say I am spoiled with eating at many good Chinese food restaurants that offer variety in authentic Chinese food. So while on vacation in Charlottetown, I knew I wouldn't be able to find a place that would provide that. We chose this restaurant as they had a special for 3 items, egg roll, and drink for a...

“Run away from this place as fast as you can- horrible horrible food”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011 via mobile

Terrible food that is tasteless and poor quality. The atmosphere is horrible- bright dirty and run-down. We ordered 7- 8 dishes and not one was any good. I would rather nit eat at all than eat here. Run away.

“If you enjoy good Chinese food, give this a miss!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2010

While enjoying Charlottetown (PEI) in September, we decided to eat Chinese food one evening. In checking the options, it seemed that there were a few choices downtown, so we opted for the 'Canton Cafe'. Wrong choice! As is our wont, we selected a variety of dishes, such that we could share what we expected to be culinary delights. In all... More
