Canton Restaurant - Chao Ca Cho Cu

I love this restaurant! It definitely has a hole in the wall feel. They specialize in Cantonese style rice porridge and have all the classic flavors. I get the fish porridge and I love how delicious and comforting it is. The portion sizes are generous. And make sure you order the Chinese donut which goes perfectly with porridge. They also do take out orders. And the price can't be beat! But beware, they only take cash!

Absolutely fantastic experience and sad I haven't tried this sooner! My grandpa always wanted porridge here and I can see why! Friendly owners/workers and delicious food!//CONTEXT//Came here on Christmas Day! It was really busy with a lot of takeout orders. We came as a party of two, thankfully beat the rush as we saw more people line up to be seated.//FOOD//Porridge (fish): very flavorful! My husband who grew up eating porridge doesn't buy porridge since his family makes it all the time. He was left impressed at how good porridge can be. The fish is not "fishy" at all and softCa Thang Long: wow so impressive! I also go to another location for this but this one was better. A nice char at the bottom and very aromatic//PRICE//At time of visiting porridge was $11.50 and the fish was around $26 or $28? //SERVICE//The guy at the cashier who is a family member was so nice and told me about the history of the place. Food was fairly fast despite being busy//OVERALL//Love this place!

Came in today for lunch and we loved everything that we ordered. The chicken porridge was so comforting, but I gotta admit that the fish porridge is truly amazing. It was very flavorful and the ginger elevates the dish even more. We also paired the porridge with the Chinese donuts and I can dream of this combination all day. The salty fish fried rice was very tasty and so was the #38 that we took some to go. Definitely worth the visit and would love to come back here when we're around.

Really delicious Cantonese Vietnamese food. I have been coming to this restaurant for many years because it never disappointed with 2 dishes. I love their porridge ( Cháo Cá) Surprisingly, even though they use tilapia or catfish (I'm not sure which), I didn't taste any of that fishy taste. Another must try is their Dill Turmeric Fish, ( Chả cá Thăng Long) delicious and delightful Everything was excellent. Parking lot is large but shared with a lot of other businesses in the plaza,but for sure you can find it around. Cash only !

The business reached out to let me know they did increase prices slightly, which is why I was charged a bit more. I would have known that if I received a receipt but that's ok. I went back again and really enjoyed their fish porridge. I ordered a pigs kidney porridge and they gave me a 2nd fish porridge. They were really busy Friday so I think they got my order confused. We also got the Chinese donut and it was so fresh.

This place feels like home. The organ porridge was rich, comforting, and tasted just like something I'd have growing up. The flavors were spot on, warm, familiar, and deeply satisfying. The price is reasonable, and the service is relaxed and welcoming. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes!

Food: 4/5 The special porridge dish which include: fish, chicken, squid, shrimp was great. Seasoned well and plenty of fish served in a creative style bowl. The new poporridge that had pork intestine, pigs blood and liver was really great. Added Sriracha and it was perfect. Definitely order the side of Chinese donuts and it's a perfect way to start your day!Service: 5/5 Server was very nice, reminder you'll have to head to counter to pay for your meal. Ambiance: 3/5 Was ok, clean and simple decoration. Seats were ok in terms of comfort.***Reminder: Cash only!!! If needed you can go to Stator Bros to withdraw if needed.

The egg roll was the best in all of Little Saigon, I have had them 5x only once it was not crunchy, very few restaurants still have shrimp n crab in them, here the egg rolls were made w VN rice paper not Chinese thick skin wrap. It was so good I asked them how they made it so crunchy , they would not tell me! Must be black magic as it pulverized in the mouth. 5 stars for this. The soups were not special, their specialty supposedly grilled fish but it was just sautéed on an iron plate like everywhere else, I'm not a fan of fish n hate dill. I had the congee once but don't remember I'll have to do it again to review it. I feel blessed to live near Little Saigon, almost all other cuisine they used the excuse of Bide nomics to rob us blind! Hope I'm allowed to say it like it is. They reminded me daily to review this restaurant so here it is! You're welcome.

Did a phone order for Fish Porridge this time. Soo good. I think this is my new go-to porridge. It comes with shredded ginger on top and lots of fish. They're still cash only!!

I was on a mission to find congee with a sit-down area, which isn't as easy as you'd think! This spot popped up while I was nearby, so I decided to give it a try. It's simple, fast, and exactly what I was craving. The menu is mostly text, so if your Vietnamese isn't strong, Google Translate to the rescue!The vibe is casual and bustling--plenty of people popping in for takeout, but we lucked out with a booth during off hours. It filled up fast though, so don't dawdle!The food? Pure comfort--like sitting down for a meal with your aunties and uncles at home. Deliciously homey and just what I needed.Heads up: It's CASH ONLY, but there's an ATM at Stater Bros. in the same plaza. I always forget these things since I moved away from OC!
