South China

Best traditional Chinese food in AbqSuper good! Family friendly. Family owned restaurant. Hidden Gem!The Orange Chicken was outstanding. Mongolian Beef Awesome. Wonton soup awesome! Real egg rolls! Thank you

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...

Finding good Chinese food is hard here in ABQ. So when we heard about South China, we had to try it. Hole in the wall in a small strip mall off Wyoming. Service was quick and she rounded on us frequently. Once we ordered, we were given a cup of egg drop soup (delicious). Food was the perfect portion size. Spicy but not too spicy. The egg roll was vegetable. Even though it is on the opposite side of town for us, we will be back to try other options on the menu.

Got a lot of recommendations to try this place so here we are. Just after lunch so seating was plentiful. Menu looked good- they had my favorite - lemon chicken. But not as a lunch special. Oh well. Ordered lunch specials Szechuan Beef & Kung Pao Chicken. First comes the Egg Drop Soup with Chow Mein noodles. Haven't had soup served like that in a long time. Our meals closely behind. Both had a nice heat level, not too much. Each came with a decent amount of meat and veggies that were cooked nicely - not over done. Service was good, she was present but not obnoxiously so. Now if I can get them to add Lemon Chicken to the lunch menu...

South China is located in Integrity Plaza off Wyoming between Backroads Guitars and Then Alteration Shop. SC has 13 4-top tables that can be pushed together to accommodate larger groups if need be. There are no booths, only tables with chairs, so wheelchair users will not have any issue here. I ordered the orange chicken lunch special (L28) to go, which came with fried rice and an egg roll. For the lunch, tax, and 3.5% credit card fee, the total was $10.24 before tip. If patrons pay with cash they can avoid the credit card fee. The fried rice didn't have any ingredients, so that was a disappointment. Without ingredients other than rice and a flavoring I'm not even sure if it counts as fried rice. The egg roll was exceptionally greasy and had only cabbage as a filling. It would have been better with chicken or another meat added. I enjoyed the orange chicken, though it did seem quite greasy as well. I very much enjoyed the sauce, which had pieces of orange peel and onions. Unfortunately that was only one item I enjoyed out of the three in the meal. While I enjoyed the sauce on the orange chicken, the greasiness of the meal overall and the lack of ingredients in the fried rice and egg roll didn't impress me. I wouldn't go back.

Local good eats. This was my third time eating here. My boyfriends family has been eating here for years and recommended it. I can attest to their good recommendation. The food was fresh and delicious. We got two dinner combination plates and the chicken wings. Even though we had a takeout order they were so kind and attentive to us. It's a small little restaurant but such a homey feel. Will definitely be my top Chinese takeout.

The front desk skinny lady is the reason it's a three star. She was so disconnected with us when we got there. Not nice or not mean. Just not there? if that makes sense. NO connection with her whatsoever. On the other hand, the other lady that was serving on us was so kind and even recommended us some things cause it was our first time eating there. The food was DELICIOUS! I definitely recommend. If the lady at the desk can change her attitude or get rid of her, then it would be a 4.5 star instead of a 3! Lastly, the place has a pleasant vibe :)

Ordered the Pu Pu platter. Everything was very good but not a fan of their breading in the shrimp. I had Kung Pao Chicken and wife had Cashew Chicken. Both had great flavor and portions were substantial. Waitress was not as attentive as I would have liked but none the less, good experience.

The service is fine, the food is the problem... My wife ordered chicken Chop Suey, which is supposed to have more ingredients than just white chicken and shredded cabbage, but it didn't. I ordered egg foo yung. Instead of fluffy egg patties with pork and crunchy vegetables covered in a light brown sauce, these egg patties were drenched with the sauce and one big, mushy mess that I tried to eat, but couldn't. The shrimp fried rice wasn't terrible; it just wasn't very fried. We kept the leftover rice and threw the rest out. $40 later, both of us were still hungry. Lately, every time we try 4-star+ restaurant we haven't tried before, it sucks. Here's one more.

Very good service and food I recommend this place staff is so nice I lov this place I can eat it all day.
