About

  • Day‑to‑night Hong Kong cafe → cocktail bar concept
  • Cantonese-style BBQ and roast meats
  • Pillowy milk bread French toast
  • Dine-in and takeout-friendly
  • Vibrant Navy Yard nightlife spot

Canton Disco blends the casual comforts of a Hong Kong cafe with the theatrical energy of a nighttime Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar. By day it pours classic milk tea and stacks pillowy milk bread French toast; by night it turns up the heat with Cantonese-style BBQ, shareable plates, and craft libations. The dual personality makes it a versatile stop for weekend brunch, weekday takeout, or late-night revelry in Navy Yard.

What to Order

Milk Bread French Toast

Thick slices of pillowy milk bread soaked, crisped, and topped with butter and syrup for an indulgent Hong Kong–style brunch.

Cantonese BBQ Platter

A showstopping selection of charred roast pork, soy-glazed duck, and honey lacquered char siu served with fragrant rice.

Salted Honey Milk Tea

A silky, slightly salty-sweet take on Hong Kong milk tea that pairs perfectly with both toast and barbecue.
