CANTON Image 1 There’s an old Chinese saying: “All things are difficult before they are easy.” When we opened Canton in 1991, it was the first fast casual Chinese chain in the Middle East and North Africa region. This was long before the great flowering of international restaurants and cafés in Saudi Arabia, and we faced many challenges in introducing this exotic cuisine to a country in which many people were unfamiliar with it. Another Chinese saying is: “If you work hard enough at it, you can grind even an iron rod down to a needle.” Through hard work and an unwavering belief in what we were doing, we succeeded in realizing our dream. Now, more than 25 years later, Canton is the largest and most popular fast-food Chinese restaurant chain in Saudi Arabia, with more than 80 stores throughout the KSA. More importantly, we have continued to honor the vision of our founder to provide customers with premium-quality, healthy cuisine at affordable prices, and this guiding principle will always be at the center of our business. To bring our menu of fresh and delicious selections to our loyal customers, we utilize one of the oldest and most versatile cooking implements in the world, the wok. We use only the finest fresh vegetables, meats, seafood, rice, and noodles to create a wide range of Cantonese and Szechuan dishes to satisfy every taste. The beauty of wok cooking is that it can be done quickly without compromising quality, which makes it perfect for fast, casual dining. Our continuing commitment to serving only the highest quality food at the best prices has earned Canton the loyalty and admiration of customers of all ages, and has made it the fastest-growing brand in the KSA.
