Canton House on Buford Highway is a go-to for dim sum lovers, where you can feast on carts of authentic Cantonese dishes in a spacious, inviting atmosphere.
"Dim sum is best with groups as a weekend brunch. Canton House’s dining room is much bigger than it looks from the outside, but still be prepared to wait for a table. When you get a table, carts carrying steaming dishes get wheeled by your table, just have a peek at what each server is offering. You’ll find popular favorites like steamed pork buns, sesame balls, sweet tofu soup, taro tempura shrimp, Chinese broccoli, turnip cake with pork, tofu skin with pork and mushrooms, and pork ribs." - Field UX
"Canton House, a longstanding bastion of Cantonese cuisine in Atlanta, is known for its dim sum. However, the restaurant’s Cantonese roots also shine in one of their most popular signature dishes: lobster with ginger and green onions. In true Cantonese style, succulent lobster tails are simply flash fried in garlic, ginger, and green onions to bring out the natural flavors of the lobster for a distinctive Cantonese flavor profile." - Susie Chow
"We’ve been coming to this iconic restaurant on Buford Highway for years, where there’s always a celebratory gathering in their chandelier-lit private space. Canton House provides the full dim sum experience with unique offerings like dessert carts with mango pudding and the only bubble tea cart we know of in the city. The salt and pepper squid is our favorite item here, but it’s not always on rotation. Just make sure you catch a cart that has our other favorites like sponge cakes, pan-fried shrimp, chive buns, and steamed rice rolls filled with shrimp or beef. We always like to get the pan-fried noodles with beef from their regular menu since it’s the tasty, filling finale we need to keep us from cleaning them out of chive buns." - candy hom
