Canton Restaurant - Cháo Cá Chợ Cũ

Food: We tried three things 1) We try the HK style beef chow fun and it was really amazing a must try here. You can taste the charcoal broiled taste and it was well seasoned. Might be a little oily though but the taste is very nice 5/5 2) Next is fish Congee with pork blood on sides. The presentation is nice and taste is average but I try putting little hotsauce and fish sauce to add flavor and it went well 4/5 3) Chinese Donut is a must too. taste blend well with the congee and taste is reallu 5/5. Service: When we came in it was not too crowded so the order was done pretty fast so service is 5/5 Ambiance: It was nice and clean like typical vietnamese restaurant nothing fancy. Parking: A lot of parking space.

First time here because we wanted porridge. Went on a weekday. The porridge is comforting and the egg rolls were yums.

that fish, worth the drive and so are their congee. Decent service, the owner is welcoming and friendly. Your typical hole in the wall space but it is clean and bright. I definitely recommend a visit.

The pork blood and added fish congee was super good and there’s other options too! I added fish to my pork blood congee but even if not it was great the pieces of pork blood were HUGE and so was the fish and super delicious hella worth visiting actually better than Chinese versions of the same dish, somehow the Vietnamese just do everything better even Cantonese dishes Also got an iced coffee which was good too :P

This place is a comforting and affordable restaurant that serves Vietnamese food. It’s my go-to place for chao, and they come served in cute bowls that hold heat well, so there’s no need to worry about your food going cold before you finish. My favorite side to add is the fried Chinese donuts! Heads up, the restaurant is cash only!

I stopped in at Chạo Cá Chò Cú in Westminster after hearing so much buzz, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The place was packed with mostly Chinese and Vietnamese locals, which to me is always the best sign that a restaurant is doing something right. The atmosphere was busy but still welcoming, and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive even with so many tables to take care of. What really stood out for me was their vegetable chow fun. The noodles weren’t quite as wide or as thick as I expected, but they were still cooked beautifully—chewy, flavorful, and full of that smoky wok aroma that makes chow fun special. The vegetables were fresh and plentiful, and the whole dish came together in a way that was absolutely delicious. A lot of restaurants don’t even serve proper chow fun noodles, but this place does, and it makes a big difference. The menu itself is a unique mix of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, which gives you a lot of options depending on what you’re in the mood for. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked generous and authentic, and it’s clear why this spot is so popular among locals. One thing to note: they don’t take credit cards, so make sure you bring cash or be ready to pay by Zelle. It’s worth the extra step because the food and service really deliver. If you’re in Westminster and want to experience a local favorite with excellent chow fun and a lively crowd, this is the place to go.

Canton Restaurant impressed me with its comforting congee served in traditional clay pots. The porridge was smooth and flavorful, topped with fresh ginger and herbs. The fried dough sticks were perfectly crispy and paired well with condensed milk. A warm, satisfying breakfast spot with authentic flavors.
