More information on Canton Express

You've spent the morning shopping and strolling through Lakeview, and now you are ready for lunch. If you want to treat yourself to a guilty pleasure, slip on your Groucho Marx mask and step inside the wonderful world of Canton Express - the best, the greasiest, the most unashamedly dingy Chinese place in town. Most of its business is take-out. But if you don't mind being seen, splurge and order a huge carton of fried rice the way it was meant to be: so greasy you don't have to chew. The egg rolls, especially the vegetable rolls, are very fresh and very good. And how can a place that features Crispy Duck be bad?
