South Sea - Hamilton, Ontario

We used to hit this place up 30 years ago after drinking at some local bars and the decor is still the same cool old school Chinese themed. I had a combination plate for one which had S.S. chicken balls, lemon chicken, general chicken and rice. It was a lot ... of food but unfortunately it all tasted the same. The 3 different chicken dishes were all battered and deep fried but different shapes and had three different sauces but pretty much tasted the same. I thought the general chicken would of had some spice to it but it did not. The rice was very dark and didn't really have any taste except for the sauces that was covering it. The service was very good and I will give them another try but something different. Read more

South sea is NOT accommodating to a picky kid who doesn't like her food touching, I asked her if I order this plate of food; pan fried noodles can you please put the broccoli and chicken on a small plate separately from her noodles? She said no. She will charge ... me 10.00 extra for both as a separate order. So I said fine. Forget it. My daughter only ate the noodles. The food was very good, but the waitress was not very friendly or nice, I don't think she knew what a smile was. This reminds me of why I DO NOT eat in the Restaurant itself. That and the place is dusty. But like I said, the food was really good. Read more

Ive been getting my Chinese food here for years. This place is perfect with late take out options or dine in options (if you are earlier). The food is always awesome ive never had a bad or disappointing meal here. Well worth your time and money

Had food delivered from here. I have mixed opinions about how to rate it. On the one hand it's definitely better than most Chinese food delivery places, but I was very disappointed in the fried items, shrimp in particular. I feel like the taste was off and suspect that the shrimp ... may have been a bit past its prime. All of the other food, however, tasted fine. There's great value to ordering the specials for groups which can easily cover the number of people they're for. I would order again but may skip the fried shrimp. Read more
