The Canton promise

Built for the people who run the kitchen.

Most restaurants order from more than one supplier. Here's why Canton earns the standing order.

Delivery you can plan around

Will-call pickup at the dock and delivery across LA. Call for current windows and order cutoffs, and we'll have it ready to load.

Get the right order, every time

Accuracy first. If something's short, we tell you fast and suggest a substitution that keeps the line moving.

Real people on the phone

No portal, no chatbot. Talk to the same family that's run Canton since 1969 — in English or Chinese. 中文 OK.

The catalog

Everyday staples and the Asian specialties that are hard to find.

More than 2,000 items under one roof — daily produce and dry goods alongside the Cantonese and Asian cooking bases Canton is named for. Here's a snapshot; call for the full list and current pricing.
