" I used to adore this place, but recent visits haven't matched my memories. The variety is great, but flavors have dulled over time. It's not bad, but it lacks the magic it once had. If you're looking for a casual meal, it works, but I don't think I'll return for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors are BANGING! I absolutely love the variety offered on their menu. The potstickers are my personal favorite. The cozy setting and friendly service always make me feel at home. It's the perfect spot for both quick takeout or a relaxing dinner with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with friends, and we had a lovely time. The egg rolls were particularly good. I enjoyed my meal, but I feel I’ve had better cashew chicken elsewhere. However, the overall atmosphere was nice, and I would love to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed during my last visit. The food did not taste fresh at all. The egg rolls were greasy and bland, and the service felt rushed. I expected the cashew chicken to be flavorful, but it fell flat. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon unless I hear that things have improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience here! I found a hidden gem. The cashew chicken was amazing; crispy, flavorful, and downright addictive! Friendly service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I would travel miles to eat here, don’t miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Canton Inn never fails to impress! I’ve eaten here countless times over the last fifteen years, and every time I am reminded why I love it. The friendly owners and staff create a welcoming atmosphere, serving the best Springfield-style cashew chicken you’ll find. The prices are great, and I always leave feeling satisfied. If you are craving quality Chinese food, do yourself a favor and eat here! " (*Curated Review*)
