OrangeTV: Canton Still Best On A Good Day

Full post and best-Chinese restaurant poll here

Since taking over in 2005, the ever-smiling Alex Kim and his family have risen to that challenge and have generally succeeded.
I’ve said there aren’t any truly great Chinese places in town, but Canton probably comes the closest. When the food is great, it’s really great: fresh and light, tasty, good sized portions. The problem lies in the unfortunate fact that they just aren’t very consistent. I’ve never been served anything truly horrid here, but sometimes it’s just bland, or slightly off-tasting, or maybe it’s been simmering in the pot too long. You never what you’ll get from day to day and this can make the place seem a little iffy/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho.

DFO: Canton is a special place for my family. When the kids were home, it was the place they preferred. It was also the place where my son told me he had fallen in love with his future wife, Stephanie. I quit going there b/c it became a crap-shoot re: the food. After reading OrangeTV's review, I might have to try it again.
