Mandarin is the most popular dialect of Chinese and standardized in education. Cantonese is a lesser spoken dialect that is spoken in a few regions of mainland china and in Hong Kong. Think of it as Ebonics, Spanglish and regular English. It bears a close resemblance and you may hear similar words with the same meaning but some of them are indeterminable and totally pronounced differently phonetically.(PS) Alot of asian restaurants are misleading IE alot of Japanese places are owned by chinese
