Canton restaurant in Solo gives off the Chinese feeling right away through their use of red square theme doors and windows. They have plenty of waitresses and open kitchen right before you come in so you can see the ingredients right away. The unique differentiator from other restaurants nearby is how the owner will give you recommendations on what’s fresh for the day. The restaurant is clean and bright, it’s also open-door but they do have some fans inside the main dining hall. My recommended menu: - stir fried bean sprouts with salted fish - garlic pocai - squid in oyster sauce
