Comments: I attended a friend's birthday party at South Sea restaurant this past weekend. It was my first time dining there and I was literally amazed at how wonderful my experience was. The presentation of all their dishes were absolutely beautiful. I have never seen such trendiness in terms of plate garnishing. All their plates are very trendy in both shape and color. Service was extremely pleasant and efficient. Plenty of extra napkins were given and the waitresses checked up often to refill our wine and water. Definitely a 10 in terms of ratings. The waitresses sang a very cute version of "happy birthday" to my friend. Excellent restaurant that I will visit again very soon.

Comments: I have always wanted to try this restaurant out as I heard plenty of great reviews. Having tried it this past weekend, I cannot think of a better Chinese restaurant! They are all about excellence in food presentation and double excellence in service. In fact, I can say that this restaurant has better service than some of the 5-star restaurants in the city. Our waitress (I was told that the Chinese boy that the other reveiwers of this site was talking about wasn't there) was simply a delight and I had such a fantastic dining experience! While waiting for the food, I was admiring all of the seashell paintings that were on the walls throughout the restaurant. The dining room was cozy with the most beautiful and relaxing Chinese instrumental music playing in the background. I then received my jasmine tea and my iced tea and they were all served on very unique glasses. The iced tea glass had an arched stem to it, while the jasmine tea pot was made out of black porcelain and had a bamboo handle to it! Very classy. The hot and sour soup was delicious and had a good spiciness. I then got the order of calamari accompanied with terriyaki sauce which was a huge portion that could be shared among 4 people. Then all of the entrees came and I was literally blinded by how beautiful all of the food was decorated! The food portions were very large and were all served on gorgeous square plates of various colours. It was almost too beautiful to eat...almost. The ginger tofu was absolutely dreamy and the cantonese chow mein was very flavourful as well. I can tell that the food was cooked with little grease and that nothing was premade since the vegetables maintained their crispness. The best dish would be the General Chicken. The sauce was just out of this world delicious.

The absolute best part of the bill was the price. All of the dishes I ordered were around $8 which makes it very affordable. COnsidering the food presentation and service, this restaurant is truly a masterpiece and have thought about all avenues to make for a pleasureable dining experience. See for yourself and you will know what I mean!
