Canton House
A long-standing Cantonese dim sum spot on Buford Highway operating since 1994, preserving the tradition of push-cart dim sum.
Located on Buford Highway in Chamblee, Canton House has been serving dim sum since 1994, with the AJC noting that it helped establish the highway as an international dining destination. The restaurant features traditional push-carts with dim sum served in bamboo steamers; you can point directly to what you want, or ask a server to fetch items from the kitchen if they haven't rolled by. The Infatuation recommends the salt and pepper squid (which is not always available), Cantonese sponge cake (Ma Lai Go), pan-fried shrimp, chive dumplings, and shrimp or beef rice rolls, alongside mango pudding and a bubble tea cart. The official website states that dim sum is served all day, opening at 10:00 on weekends; older food reviews mention that the push-cart service runs from 10:00 to 15:00 on weekends, while weekday cart service remains unconfirmed. No reliable average spend was found, so please refer to the menu.
