Excellent Dim Sum! Loved every dish. The waitress was very helpful and constantly checked on us. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I asked the manager if he had a port to charge my phone and he politely said he would do that at the cash while we had our brunch. He even made sure I didn’t forget it on way out.

The food here was very nice and fresh. I personally really liked the chee cheong fun with bbq pork as it was fresh and flavourful. The curry noodle was also cooked really nicely.

Baby garlic lobster was very delicious! We'll come back very soon for more. My pork chop with fried rice was very good. Biggest quantity we've had in Penang on a dinner order. Please come to Canton- I at Gurney Plaza at Penang Island Penang Malaysia.

I tried Canton-i at The Gardens, kuala lumpur and the char Siew and good crispy roasted pork belly. Last evening, i visited this outlet, but the roasted pork belly skin was not crispy. It seems to me quality is not consistent. However i love the “song thong yin choy”. It’s really good with flavour.
Charles Eugene
We had wantan noodles, pork & prawn dumplings. It came with complimentary char siew bun & ice lemon tea. The noodles were delicious with a generous amount of succulent char siew. Overall food was beyond satisfactory. Even the drink was good …
