Canton Rodeo
Paramus
Helmed by former Eleven Madison Park chef Connie Chung, Canton Rodeo is a fast-casual spot at Bergen Town Center offering elevated Hong Kong-style barbecue. Standout menu offerings include crispy-skinned honey-roasted duck seasoned with cumin and Sichuan peppercorns, caramelized heritage char siu pork shoulder, and charred scallion lo mein served with house-made Canto Crunch chili oil. Diners can also enjoy build-your-own barbecue plates paired with house specialties like Hong Kong chicken and pineapple chrysanthemum lemonade.
Viewer reactions are largely enthusiastic, with strong anticipation for the restaurant and high praise for the visual appeal and taste of the roast duck and pork. However, feedback on secondary items is mixed, with several diners complaining about overly fatty chicken, mediocre fried rice, and extra charges for sauces. While many consider it a compelling barbecue spot, a few commenters unfavorably drew comparisons to Panda Express.
