The Canton Chinese Restaurant @ Nugambakkam, Chennai

The canton is small and nice Chinese restaurant at Nungambakkam, just next to Ganpath and it is on the basement. I had been to this place last Sunday, but didn’t really enjoy my lunch. I ordered for Spicy Jade Veg soup, Dragon Chicken as a starter and for the main course West Lake Spicy Chicken and Veg Fried rice. Guess What?

The base preparation for Dragon Chicken and West Lake spicy Chicken was the same, stuffed in Maida, I guess it is common preparation, when guest order for any chicken item, the pull out few pieces and prepare it dry or gravy. The gravy item was little slimy, but didn’t taste bad. The dragon chicken was crispy some pieces were not properly cooked. I did feel the same at the Cascade, it was delicious.

This time I was bit cautious when ordering fried rice, I really took care in understanding the amount be served. Yeah, it serves 2 people.

In spite of the place been small there is no comfort from the sofa and the chairs, Stern sofa which are erect at 90 degrees and it needs proper cleaning too. Ambiance is OK, properly lit apart from the Chinese dragon framed photos these is no Chinese from this place.

Service is good, you get proper answer on the quantity being served, the waiters are humble enough to extend their service when your plates are getting empty, they serve with a good smile.

I have tried the dragon chicken at these places too Shanshi @ AnnaNagar, Kim Ling @ AnnaNagar, The Cascade @ AnnaNagar and The Wangs @ AnnaNagar and @ Velachery. If it has to be dragon chicken it has either has to be The Cascade or The Wangs Kitchen @ Velachery.

The Cascade, Chinese Restaurant @ AnnaNagar, Chennai

If it has to be Chinese food @ AnnaNagar you can count on "The Cascade" too, I will be posting on couple of Chinese restaurants review in the coming days.

Remember that crowded Saravana Bhavan at the 2nd Avenue, the road which leads to Pazumudir Cholai, just opposite you will find Arun Ice cream parlour at the top is our favourite Chinese Restaurant The Cascade.

Bit pricey at the same time you get good quality and quanity food. I was bit taken away when I ordered for fried rice and Malaysian Noodles, We were just four of us out of which one was toddler who is just a year and above. Just the fried rice was actually more than enough to serve 4 people, I ended up carrying the rest of the food to home.

Very important: So when you order, please ask them about the quantity they serve. They just take orders.

Ambience is really good, neat, spacious and good service, but you need a fat wallet. You can notice that I had very little trouble with my younger son. If the place is cramped, I wouldn’t have taken few Photos of the Restaurant. The sofa was cosy and comfortable, neat and odour less, that entertained him a lot.

My rating would be 4 stars out of 5.
300 INR/ Person average
