WOW! Went here to eat with my family after church. Awesome buffet (see times on their website). Best crab rangoons and fried rice. Will eat here again. Evansville's best kept secret (I believe), I didn't know this place existed. Loved everything I tried.

The food is excellent. For a smaller buffet than most there's a nice variety. The dishes are refreshed often so food is kept at an appropriate temperature. The atmosphere is welcoming and child friendly. Overall a great place to visit.

Based on the recommendation of some friends my wife and I went to Canton Inn for the buffet. The food was outstanding and the service was great. In my opinion it is the best Chinese buffet in the Evansville area. Can’t wait to go again!
