I have had my fair share of really good authentic Chinese food (I live in San Francisco, take a day to eat anywhere out there and you'll learn what real good food is).

This place wasn't the worst, but it most certainly wasn't the best. My family and I ordered a number of things: beef and broccoli, chow mein , orange chicken and egg rolls. Â The 'typical' stuff.

I found the sauce that was thickly slathered over the beef and broccoli to be a bit too artificial tasting, as if it was just this gelatinous "chicken flavored" goo. Which was a pity because the broccoli was wonderfully tender and the beef delicious and succulent.

The chow mein was nothing more than store bought ramen noodles, boiled until tender then doused with more of that sauce. They were the most disappointing.

The egg-rolls tasted like they were the frozen store bought kind, heated up the microwave and served up. and the sweet and sour sauce was basically water, corn starch , pink food coloring and sugar. The very same disgustingly sweet sauce was dumped on the orange chicken.

The only heroes of the whole dinner was the chicken and mushroom meal.

This place has potential to be great, the vegetables and the meats all taste fresh and delicious (after you scrape that nasty goo sauce off of them) Â It's edible but not really a place I could ever recommend to anyone. I haven't tried the only other Chinese restaurant but I can say that this place is most definitely not the best.

I bet you are as surprised as I am that you can actually get good Chinese food in Arvin (not just edible, but really good), but for years the Canton Cafe has been our one of my favorites. Â

There is no ambience, whatsoever, but the food is good, the prices reasonable, and the quantities ample. Â We usually get takeout so it's not much of an issue. Â I'd much prefer a restaurant concentrate on the food than on the decor anyway. Â And the owners/employees are all smiles and friendly as can be.

My favorite is the Egg Foo Young. Â The patties are substantial and drenched in sauce. Â My brother's favorite is the Kung Pao Chicken. Â They make it special for him - all meat and sauce and no veggies. Â They make a special veggie dish for my stepfather that is not on the menu but is oh-so-good!

A definite must try if you're in the Arvin area. Â You won't regret it.
