“ I love this little hole in the wall. Pu Pu Platter is a must. I always enjoy Kung Pao Chicken. Everything is made fresh and comes out piping hot. Good bang for the buck. ”
“ South China has been my favorite restaurant for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made — you can tell they put love into every dish. The staff is so kind and welcoming, and they always make you feel like family the moment you walk in. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing, but I definitely have my go-to favorites. (sweet and sour chicken, soup, egg rolls, ) I honestly crave it all the time! Whether I’m dining in or ordering takeout, the quality is always consistent and delicious. If you’re thinking about trying South China, do it — it’s a gem you’ll keep coming back to. ”
“ You guys. This is our absolute favorite place to get appetizers in Albuquerque. Nobody, I say nobody has better fried wontons! They’re filled with white meat chicken. They also have great sweet and sour sauce. Another wonderful thing is their Pu pu platter. It comes with chicken, ribs, fried shrimp, egg rolls, and wontons. The one pictured is for 3. Bring cash and avoid a 3.5% charge for cards. ”
“ Should have looked at their website for operating hours, and didn't know they close from 2:30 to 4:30PM, yet when we showed up a few minutes before the afternoon close, they had no problem whippin' us up a take-out family meal for 2. While waiting, we visited the guitar shop--located right next to them--which was convenient. Late lunch was quite a lot of Chin-Amer fare for a great price, honestly. It was standard stuff, but perfect for two large humanoid dudes, with plenty of leftovers for whenever. I will say their S&S Pork was made with huge chunks of swine, yet was still very tender. All-in-all there wasn't a bad bite of food in the whole feast. We weren't expecting fine dining, and recommend others should limit their expectations as well. Nice job, South China... ”
