We enjoyed South Garden a lot! It’s right next to a huge Chinese supermarket, so even though there was a queue (20 mins) when we arrived, we could walk around till a table was open. The lobster tower was really good — quality of the seafood itself is great, and the preparation was also well done. The asparagus and beef stir fry was also very good.

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!

After the new ownership came in, you could tell there was a difference to the restaurant, but nothing bad. The food quality was the same, though some of the faces had changed. I went recently (Saturday) and it was most likely one of the worst experiences I've had at a Cantonese restaurant. First, we were sat at a table where they had been counting money (they had to clear the box and everything off before they sat us) and the table cloth was dirty (stained with what looked like motor oil). The food was just as sub par. We got the beef and mustard greens (it good), chicken and broccoli (was ok as well), but the salt and pepper squid tasted like dead fish and was so chewy it was inedible. The beef brisket with noodles was ok, but the noodles weren't very crispy (ok, this is a nit-pick).

I think I'm going to have to find a new canto spot in Quincy now.

One of the best Cantonese seafood outside China town. Soft shell crab is amazing, the ribs are good too. Everything here is top of the line

Excellent authentic Chinese food. The freshest seafood and delicious flavors. This place is truly a hidden gem.

I don’t think the food was fresh at all to be honest.. we ordered the 琵琶豆腐 (pipa tofu) which is supposed to be fried tofu, but it really wasn’t even crispy and tasted more like dough than tofu :/
Sweet and sour pork also wasn’t great, the meat was dry and looked very dull
And a lot of the foods were like room temperature or maybe just warm; not hot or say out of the wok. Probably reheated their food or something..
And since the bathroom is only one stall the ppl who thought otherwise would just bang on the door so that wasn’t very pleasant if ur mid pee and that happens

I’ve gone in here twice and it’s been a horrible experience each time. I don’t even understand how this place gets good reviews.

This Place forces you to purchase a minimum of 5lbs which is overpriced and overkill.
The food is not the worst but not good and the fish in the tanks are already dead mostly.
The service is poor and employees are rude.
Do not go here.
There are plenty of better places to spend your money.

Got scammed. Always ask the market price. Got a 2# steamed fish and was charged $180.

Been going for years and was completely ignored by 5 waiters picking pea pods. Have no idea why they wouldn’t help a party of three. Got a no like Caucasian feeling. They suck. We sat there for 15 minutes and they treated us like we were invisible. I am so pissed because I have spent hundreds there over the years. Also referred so many people there . I will never support this restaurant again.

First off the employee lacks manners and is soulless. Second thing is that they apparently still have the "old menu" at the front cashier, and my order was more expensive than the item listed on the physical menu pamphlet. Scammers? Not returning here

I called two times to ask about a food allergy and they hung up on me both times because they didn't understand me.
