I love food places that look a little "hole in the wall" ish. It's not a very big place and not a lot of decor but it gets the job done when it comes to Chinese food. The food was hot and delicious. We got plenty of condiments and our fortunes were good! My lo me in was a little oily but still enjoyable. I would order from here again!

Searching for a "pre marathon" take out meal and this spot checked all the boxes. The food was your standard take out but it was good and the owners were the nicest. You could tell that this was a beloved spot as there were several regulars that popped in while we were waiting for our order. The portions were hearty and the garlic sauce was delicious. I just wish the wontons in the soup were a bit more "put together" but all in all a great meal.

My go-to Chinese Restaurant. I've been going there since I moved here. Food is great and service is as well. My favorite eat-in / take-out restaurant for Chinese and Malaysian food.

Ordered pickup on a Sunday afternoon around 5PM. I had no issues with the pickup or the payment at all. We ordered off their website and were able to pickup our order easily within 20 minutes (could have been faster but we were able to choose the specific time of our order) We got the sesame beef and general tso's chicken. Both were really good. The sauce was delish and both our dishes came with some steamed broccoli which I always like to use as a sauce sponge. My beef was a bit hard to get through, but using a knife I was able to get it into smaller more manageable pieces.

South China is my go to for Asian delivery. It's one of the few restaurants in the DC area that sells Malaysian food. My son lived there for a few years, so we enjoy the curries and the char koay teow. Sadly, they don't sell nasi lemak. It's all good and delivery is fast.

Ok something to keep in mind is I unfortunately had to let the food sit for like 20 minutes before eating. That being said, super good and and great price. We got three egg rolls, general Tso's chicken, Kung Pao, and Hot and Sour Soup for like $35 so that is swag. It was good, but unfortunately not wow and thusly I can't give five stars, but will definitely return!!

I cannot understand how people give this place anything lower than 5 stars. The best Chinese food I have had in Alexandria/Arlington! I would hope others can separate the service they received from DoorDash / Uber Eats from this restaurant as it is nothing short of warm and homely. The food is awesome and i highly recommend the fried chicken wings if you like crispy (the sauce they give on the side is also delightful) and you can't go wrong with the orange chicken.

One of the essential foods that I need to survive is Chinese Food. South China does a very good job of preparing Hot Delicious Food; American Chinese Food. I like this place. A small takeout restaurant with 8 or so tables. There is no waiter service, but the food comes out in takeout packaging to the table. Some paper plates and eat. Simple and no frills. I have only done takeout and service is fast. NYC fast; old-school fast. You call. Place an order. Ten or fifteen minutes later. Pick up and enjoy. Been here half a dozen times already. Always fast. Always ready on time. The food is delicious. Standard dumpling. Had them both pan-fried and steamed. Like them both; not doughy. Lite on flavor for my taste; but it's really tasty. Enjoy with hot oil. Beef Chow Fun. Another winner. The noodles have body; not mush; even after a 15-minute car ride. Plenty of beef. Tender. Flavorful. Nice change of pace for me. Pork Lo Mein. Spot on dish. This is a go-to dish for me. Noodles, protein, veggies, and sauce; equals delicious. My order had plenty of the above. Decent noodles. Tender pork. Veggies in proportion. Well well-balanced dish. Beef Szechuan and Pork Szechuan. Had both and both were delicious. Nice Szechuan sauce. Spicy hot but not deadly spicy. I like the layers of flavors in this style of dish. Again tender beef and pork with carrots, onions, and celeray. Delicious. My favorite; is The Egg Roll. I am a sucker for egg rolls. Top it with your favorite sauce and enjoy. Hot, tasty, filling... Overall, South China is a very good American Chinese Restaurant. Very friendly service. Large portions. Easy on the wallet. Always leftovers. Hot and tasty. CC friendly. Plenty of street parking. No frills; just delicious food. These are all the things I look for in my local Chinese Restaurant.
