South China Restaurant

I went to pick up my order, and the lady at the counter found it and “checked” everything. Unfortunately, when I got home and started serving, I realized the main sauce—honey garlic—was missing. On top of that, the rest of the food was disappointing. Everything was bland, and the beef was undercooked. It seems like they’re overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with all the incoming orders. Definitely not the experience I was hoping

In Cooper City, there aren't too many Chinese Restaurants or Takeout spots. Our family used to order from No. 1 Wok when we moved here 13 years ago. Then we found Asia #1 a few years later when we got tired of the rude owners at No. 1 Wok. For years we have contemplated trying South China in the Countryside Shops Publix Plaza, but we never got around to it. Well tonight, we decided to try it. The ordering experience (for takeout) was fine, despite the musty smell the restaurant gave off while waiting for our food. It's when we tried the food that we realized it was a huge mistake. We ordered a few different dishes to try and out of 6 people, not one enjoyed their meal. The chicken fried rice was dry... the Szechuan chicken (med spicy) had NO flavor at all. The Beef and Broccoli was flavorless as well. Shrimp with Broccoli... flavorless. Vegetable Lo Mein FLAVORLESS. I have no idea how there are any positive reviews for the food coming out of this restaurant when you could get much better quality (and save money) ordering from either of the Chinese Takeout spots mentioned earlier in this review. Seriously.... Don't...waste...your money.

I had to change my review on this place. South China was once the best places to get Chinese food. I don’t know if they switched owners or what but, it’s not the same. They changed all of the servers too. The new ones are rude. The food is not fresh anymore. The pictures that I have up are from years ago. This is NOT the same place I went to every weekend. I will not be back.

Lives up to the good reviews. I had the barbecued rib and pork fried rice dinner portion. My daughter had the sweet and sour pork. It seems like a family establishment from the son to the grandmother involved. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. The pork fried rice was perfect, with a hint of smokiness and flavorful. I have had Chinese in Chinatown and this was better. The rib did not taste stale like it had been sitting but instead was moist and the right amount of burnt sugar on it. My daughter's S&S was nicely fried puffy and crisp. However the sauce was poured on top. We like it separate so that we could eat at our pace without it getting soggy. I wager their other food will be great too. If you want authentic Chinese food taste, this is the place.

Great place, really good Chinese food. They serve fried wanton as appetizer, tea and eggroll. Service was very good as well.
