    Mongolian beef

    I grew up ordering from here as a kid. Came back 25 years later once I heard the owner is the son of the Wo Hop in NYC owner. The food was just as good, if not better than I remember. The prices were great and the portions were large. Our server, Wendy, was fantastic. Super helpful and funny. The food was very good. I will be back!

    We went to South China Restaurant on Christmas Day. Wow, was it busy! The service was outstanding. They were well prepared to handle the crowds of people and all the to-go orders. My Father had his heart set on ordering the egg foo young. The waitress told us they were too busy to make this, so it was not available. My wife and I ordered the mushrooms in garlic sauce. They must have been short on mushrooms because our dish had more pea pods than mushrooms (see photo). Overall, the food and service were fast. The food was tasty and the restaurant ran efficiently. We will go back on a day that it not a holiday to enjoy the food that we are accustomed to at South China Restaurant.

    Fried chicken garlic. Cut pieces of chicken breast. Very greasy.

    I tried to be spontaneous and try a Chinese restaurant without doing too much research. I really regret it. This place is not authentic at all and they use leftovers from previous days into different dishes. I gave it a shot though and here are my thoughts: There was a section of combination dinners. We thought well we can try more things why not. The complimentary wonton soup and egg drop soup were very good. Then came the deep fried roll and one rib. The rib was nice. The roll however had leftover rib meat inside of it. And only rib meat. It was so dry. Next came the rice. It was so bad. I don't know how you can mess up rice. The flavoring was sweet and the rice was hard. Leftover rice probably from the day before. Finally our entrees. I can't remember the name of the soy sauce looking one. But it was super greasy. Flavor was nice. But I couldn't eat more of it because of the grease. Fried chicken garlic. I messed up and thought I was getting the chicken wings. This was good but again super greasy and sweet. The pieces were chicken breast. But not at all healthy with the sweetness and oil. There are a lot of regulars that come here. This place isn't for me.

    This is the place

    If you're looking for Chinese food like you had when you were a kid in Brooklyn then this is the place for you. My wife had tears of joy when she saw the wonton soup with big pieces of pork and soup greens. The hot and sour soup was also standout. We also tried shrimp chow mein, beef with bean sprouts, shrimp with lobster sauce and a Szechuan pork dish. The waitstaff was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed. My wife said the interior looked like the place in Brooklyn her parents took her to. Don't expect anything fancy but you will get authentic Brooklyn Jewish Chinese food as we like to call it.

    Haven't been to a Chinese restaurant since moving to Weston area years ago. Found this spot tucked away in Cooper City Strip Mall. Brought back memories of years ago upon entering. What a take out business they have! Hot tea pots on the tables and traditional ambiance and menu with complete meals with soup, egg roll and ice cream at the back of the menu. Waitress really made the experience even better. Great attitude that even pointed us in the right direction of what to order. Vegetarian items in the menu u as well as special orders which made it very appealing. Portions were large and came with fried rice. We will be back!

    Chicken wing combo (the rest of the wings were on the side)

    Order food for take out at lunch time and everything was good. I ordered by phone and the food was ready within 15 min. Service is always friendly and professional. I had the chicken wing special which the wings itself were really crispy and flavorful. The pork fried rice was ok. My coworker order the chicken and vegetable and she said it was made as requested and really good as well. I would order again.

    The place is in a strip mall with a bunch of doctors offices, and it's a little hard to find. And…read moreparking is a bit of a problem. Just keep that in mind. Inside, there are a lot of tables and in talking with my friends and the staff, it can get crazy busy, especially on weekends. But it wasn't too bad on a weekday early afternoon. We went for dim sum; they give you a menu with pictures and names, and a piece of paper to mark on what items you would like. Sometimes they'll names don't quite match but it's not too bad. They bring them from the kitchen when it's ready One tip for you: it's easy to over order, so you might order a smaller number of things and see how it goes, and order more later. Anyway, they have very many seafood and veggie dishes, which suits me just fine. And the waitress was making sure to point out what dishes had meat in them as she brought them to the table. That was very considerate. The price point for each item is on the high side, but the quantity is good. But of course it adds up in a hurry (another reason to see my tip about over ordering!) All in all, a pleasant meal and I was full when I left.

    Hands down the best restaurant for dim sum specifically in the Pembroke Pines area…read more China Pavilion is located in a pretty chill shopping center not too far from Pembroke Lakes mall. The restaurant feels very authentic to how Chinese restaurants are, the restaurant has a fish tank at the entrance which is very on brand and over all it's a pretty casual space. The food is really good and there are so many items on the menu, that I definitely recommend coming with a few people so you can try all the things you want without it being way too much food. There are a few waiters/waitresses and they all attentive. Even though one person takes the order, the other servers may bring your food, get you another drink, or clear things off of your table. This is also another restaurant I will definitely be back to and highly recommend, especially if you're looking for Dim Sum in Pines.

I call right away before they closed (I live close) I tell them that the Pad Thai is inedible... don't mention the other stuff bc there were good parts so I ate around it but the noodles were nasty af. I ask if I can get a refund or bring them in the next day af or something else. I planned on getting the Lomain which I had before and it was decent. He tells me no refunds or exchanges if u don't like it since it's their style of making the noodles and that's not their fault. Listen If I could've ate around it I WOULD.. but this was bad and especially seeing as I've spend $60 a order there for the past week I would think they would be accommodating but NOPE. He said he would have his manager call me and I never got a call/ text or VM. (He took down my info) Unfortunately I'm not ordering from here again. I rather support another company who will bend when they see it's not a scam. I loose in the end. I consider myself a loyal repeat customer.... To them in just another drop in the bucket.

The best part is that you don't even need to move from your table. Unlike most food halls where you have to stand in line at different places, here you just scan a QR code and the menus from each place come up. You can order from any of the kiosks or the bar all at once, and they bring everything right to your table. You get the variety of five different places in one spot completely seamlessly. For drinks, I had a mule and a lychee martini, and both were strong, delicious, and really well presented. Food-wise, I ordered the fried wontons and steamed dumplings from one kiosk, and my friend ordered the Korean chicken wings from another. We also shared a really good sushi roll with fresh crab and eel that was very large and filling. We ended the night with strawberry mochi for dessert. They also have a schedule for their entertainment with something going on almost every single night. The night we were there, they had a DJ playing 80s music, which made me very happy. This is a fun night out.
