South Garden

We came here specifically for the lobster tower as we wanted to try it. It was very tasty with lettuce and french fries. It was pricy, but great experience. The restaurant was fully packed and every table was taken. This was around 7pm on a Friday night. $98 for the lobster tower dish. Three of us ate it and completely finished the entire tower.

The food was either a hit or a miss. I've never seen a chow fun so poorly made, which was clearly lacking the grease and flavor that makes it distinctively Cantonese chow fun. Because of that, a lot of the noodles and beef were burnt and when we brought it up, we were told that he guessed the chef made it like that today and walked away with no suggestion to change it or remake it. The soy sauce chicken was great, though...super juicy! This place was really lacking in the service department, though. My grandmother literally asked a reasonable question of whether the entrees came with white rice or not so that we could order some if they didn't. The waiter scoffed and said "of course we have white rice... what kind of Chinese restaurant has no white rice?" We probably had like 4 different waiters that stopped by our table and the others were okay or much better but that particular waiter having a snarky and condescending response really annoyed tf out of me. Even asking for the check was such a chore. Usually you go into these type of Cantonese restaurants expecting meh service, but that was completely uncalled for and the food wasn't even all that to justify this place at all.

New menus.Food was spot on as usual.Biggest lobsters in the tank I've ever seen in my life.

This place is right next to Kam Man supermarket and was packed when we went for dinner. Some dishes were kind of greasy. I loved the appetizer with the huge clams, don't remember what it was called but would come back just to order that. The shrimp was also very fresh. Would come back to try more things but definitely order the clams.

South Garden is a great spot for Chinese food! The garlic chicken was super tasty, and the lobster tower was incredible - so fresh and full of flavor. A little but way too crowded but they have plenty of parking. The staff was really nice, and the food came out fast. If you're craving good Chinese food, definitely check out South Garden!

It's been a crazy few days. Celebratory dinner at South Garden Quincy, food was fast and plenty! My little guy recieved a special award for his non profit efforts and dropping off 4000 pounds of food to our local pantry this weekend. We had the seafood tower (Asian style) it was a 9 pound lobster, crabs, and fries??????, fried tofu, beef and Chinese broccoli, beef and cilantro soup, seafood soup, chicken with fried garlic, egg tofu, Buddhist delight, sweet and sour beef, Mayo shrimp in taro pot, triple fried delight (pork, shrimp, calamari). Everything was really good! I especially loved the little sweet warm dessert at the end. Highly recommended!

It's been a few years since we last visited South Garden and I was really looking forward to it - and I wasn't disappointed! Delicious, well-prepared, and such a variety of different dishes to choose from. (Btw, if you're wanting standard Chinese-American fare here, just don't. Explore and awaken your taste buds!) We shared: salt & pepper squid (one of the best we've had - and had some real heat for a change); steamed scallops and tofu in black bean sauce (funky and mild at the same time; sounds weird but it works); mixed vegetables with lotus root and bulbs (very very good); and yellow chives with fish in xo sauce (amazingly delicious, the yellow garlic chives are mild and sweet, the fish filet pieces were skate wing I think, also very good). Outstanding meal. Service is polite and prompt. We'll be back - and I wish we lived closer to Quincy so we could go every week!

Definitely a must visit for the lobster tower! We got a small which can feed 4 comfortably, 5 people maybe. It's market priced, so when we went, it was $98. Really a nice experience to eat various parts of the lobster and it's quite meaty! The flavor was AMAZING. Hard to describe, but a bit of a spice, salt and peppery, garlic-ky, and more. They deep fry it so it seems too. Also came for the dou Miao (pea pod stem) in crab sauce, and it's one of my go-to dishes. :) Will be coming back again!

I've been here dozens of times over the years and I think it's declining now. This past year, the food has become more bland, shrunk, and gotten more expensive.The service has gotten a lot worse. You can be ignored if you're not proactive. I've been seated without a menu more than once lately. Most recently, my order was taken but didn't make its way to the kitchen. When we followed up, it was clear that the waiter screwed up. Then they didn't bring out an entree, and when the bill came, it was again apparent that they left it out. The waiter who brought the bill said maybe they were out, but the waiter who took our order never mentioned this.At its peak, I'd give it a 4 for reliable, consistent, good Cantonese food but a little lacking in service and environment. I'm going to give South Garden a 2 as a composite historical score, though some individual visits were definitely a 1.I'd still come alone for quick lunch if I knew exactly what I wanted and could order as I sat down though. Their rice and noodle plates are good for that. For anything else, try the places on Hancock or Brook Streets, like New Winsor or Big Fun.

Always good authentic Chinese. Gone to other places in Quincy - can't compare to South Garden.The best soy sauce chicken around.
