    Crab "Rangoon"
    Laura C.

    We checked out beautiful south in downtown charleston and loved our experience! We went at 5:15 on a wednesday in january- so expectedly, there weren't very many guests there. The staff were all very personable and friendly, adding to our experience. The menu is family style, everything is meant to be shared. I would describe the menu as a unique twist on Chinese food. Authentic flavors but modernized. We loved the small plates- the crab rangoon "chip and dip" style was unique, and the dumplings were delicious. The drink menu was also very unique and had a wide range of flavors. Overall we will be back!

    Sunday Brunch at Beautiful South is a must do for locals and visitors of Charleston! Their Dim Sum menu is AMAZING!! Our Dim Sum Favorites: Scallion Pancake w/Egg Hong King-Style French Toast Beef Dumplings Steak Chow Fun Cumin Lamb Burger Char Siu General Tso Chicken Jade Mountain Classic Mimosa Yes!! We tried a lot and even had enough for leftovers the next day. Their portion sizes are large and everything was delicious! Be sure to check them out for yourself.

    Beautiful South is a perfect date night spot with great service, ambiance, delicious dishes, and unique cocktails. The matcha cocktail was unlike any drink I've ever had. The dining experience was fun and easy especially for a date night, because they recommend you choose a few dishes to split. This allowed us to try a few different things and share. We also ordered pork dumplings which I did not snap a photo of, but they were pretty fantastic! Overall great experience at Beautiful South!

    This place had a very cool, new vibe to it. However, after thinking over the food, I would give this 3/5 You can get much better Asian food elsewhere. The peppered beef was just that, extremely peppery. I did enjoy the Hong Kong noodles but it wasn't knock your socks off. I had reservations here so we were sat immediately. However, the table behind us had a little kid that was running around screaming.

    I am so late writing this review because I visited Charleston six months ago, but I definitely wanted to talk about one of the best restaurants. I ate it while I was there. Beautiful south is a very beautiful nice casual spot. You could easily get dressed up or be dressed down to visit and enjoy some good food. I went with some friends and we enjoyed a few appetizers like the five spice dry room, ribs and dumplings, as well as the crab Rangoon dip, which was personally one of my favorite things. The crab Rangoon dip had big pieces of crab meat in it, not that imitation crab either. As far as the food went, everything was absolutely amazing. And the portions were big. Definitely had some leftovers to enjoy at our Airbnb the next day. Prices were affordable. The staff was very nice and answered all of our questions since we were out of town and didn't really know much about the restaurant. They gave awesome suggestions and recommendations. The next time I'm in Charleston I will definitely make sure to come back and visit Beautiful South but it's delicious food.

    I've visited beautiful South twice. The first time it was ok. Our food came quickly and service was fine. The second time it took over 20 minutes just to get greeted at our table and the food was just ok. The chicken was just ok. The green beans were the best thing we ate here. Everything else was just meh. I wouldn't come back.

    We went on a more adventurous outing with some vegan friends, so we had a mostly vegan meal. We had several meals from the menu, but substituted the meats with tofu. We selected seven different dishes and are buffet style, everything was delicious and flavorful.

    Shumai

    I like this upscale Chinese place! The ambiance is rather romantic and classy. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors clean. I went with some girlfriends and we shared several dishes Including the eggplant, moo goo gai pan, mushroom shumai. The service was good. Overall a great experience and I'd go again.

    I went to Beautiful South for dinner around 6pm on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, so we were seated right away. Our server was nice but newer, so she didn't know a ton about the menu. We ordered a couple of things and nothing really stood out to us. - Crab rangoon dip was creamy and good, and we enjoyed it paired with the crispy wonton crackers - The shrimp toast was just okay - all you can really taste is the oil and how fried it is - The scallion oil noodles were fine, but kind of one-note and didn't have any special flavor - The mongolian beef was just okay as well, but you get tired of it pretty quickly since it's the same base flavor over and over Besides the crab rangoon dip, everything was pretty one-dimensional and lackluster. Definitely Asian fusion cuisine that may be good if you haven't had any of these dishes before, but not worth going if you've eaten decent Asian food. Restaurant has great decor, but I wouldn't choose to go back.

    Black pepper tofu
    El H.

    I got the vegan black pepper tofu. It was very good, don't get me wrong, but it was neither spicy nor flavorful. They didn't have hot sauce so I added chili oil, but the bottom part wasn't very spicy either! I also didn't like that every table who ordered after me was told there was a long wait for white rice because of a "big" table. Asian restaurants should never run out of white rice, and the table wasn't very big.

    Shrimp shumai
    Danielle S.

    When making a reservation for this restaurant I went off of Google review not knowing the reviews on yelp weren't as good. Our reservation was at 7:15 on a Thursday, the food was excellent, pork dumplings were fresh with favorite, the shrimp human although small was great with favor. The Char Siu fried rice was great I wish they had more options for meat but the pork was really good , the black pepper steak made me want to slap someone in a nice way it was so freaking good, whomever season those veggies like that needs to come home with me! Cocktail constellation teapot punch was refreshing and sweet, the sea drinking cities was good and strong but beware of the duck fat washes it has an after taste., the service was great our waiters were on top of it and the restaurants is a beautiful vibe. If I visit again I would definitely come back!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Beautiful South on New Year's Eve. This modern Chinese restaurant serves an upscale experience of southern Chinese cuisine, dim sum and craft cocktails. The dinner menu offers many great options suitable for sharing. We had shrimp & pork shumai, Kung Pao mushrooms, and Lap Yuk cabbage as starters. Each one delivered flavorful bites, and satisfying taste. Then our entrees were Ginger Chicken and General Tso's chicken. While the ginger chicken was good, it was well surpassed in texture and flavor by General Tso's chicken. If you want jasmine rice, order just one serving as it is plenty. Our service was good, with Chelsea taking care of us throughout our dining experience. We had been to Beautiful South earlier in 2025 and had just an ok experience. So we were skeptical at first on this visit. But I am glad we returned as we had a much better experience. The food was the significant key part, and made us appreciate the night.

    One of the best Chinese dinners we've had in Charleston ever. A very cool vibe, everything was fresh and delicious. The chili oil that is on the table will enhance every single dish. We will definitely be back!!
