Originally known as Riverside Chinese Restaurant, the restaurant has been open since 1993. With the help of many within the local community we have managed to gather a fond following from the residents of Bursledon and the surrounding areas of Locks Heath, Warsash, Whitely, Hedge End and Hamble. In 2017 we went through a large scale refurbishment and rebranded ourselves as Little Canton. As a restaurant and takeaway with a delivery service and, uniquely, a dance floor and disco on weekends, we have always been perfectly placed to reach our customers at various junctures of their daily lives. Whether they are in the mood for restaurant quality food on a quiet night at home, a nice quiet meal out with friends and family in comfortable surroundings, or a place to let loose, party and dance the night away after a long week, we have always been there ready to serve.

Really good night out. We booked on the OpenTable app and I don' t think they knew we were coming but managed to squeeze us in. We had a great table and it was a very busy night with a 30, 50, 60 and 70 birthday party in full swing. The music was low level and just about right until about 10pm and the DJ announced that it was time to party and the classic tunes went on and the dancing started. All in all a great night with reasonably decent food, especially with it being so busy. Good service and again it was very busy so good to have service even at this busy level.
