Family dinner place. Good chinese food for whole family. Home made egg tofu in sizzling pan is a must order dish.

Very nice chinese meals.

Good food, cozy ambience and attentive staff

Tried this Chinese Restaurant for the first time, the salted fish and chicken fried rice was good. Tasty and o love the smokey flavour. Seafood Noodle Soup also could warm up you body in wintery.

Big size, value for money and good taste. Ordered fried rice and enough for 2. The seafood noodle soup also good. Will try other dishes.

Good food hot and sour soup needs a bit off work to much vinegar not enough heat

Great food and service ... best Asian food in Dunedin.

Food was good great selection good service

This is well worth the money and yum yum yummy

I tried many new things on my visit here and was pleasantly surprised. To those who haven’t tried, you needa have the tripe. Looks and sounds strange, tastes amazing. This is a great place to eat. The service was excellent & the food well priced. We were made very welcome. For large family gatherings, it is important to book in advance. & Kids are not a problem, even if your youngest is only 1 year old. Thank you!!

Really delicious authentic Chinese food, friendly fast service, byo wine and good atmosphere, affordable. Our first choice for byo wine dine in experience. Family owned. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Amazing food great service love the place the owners are amazing and also the food is great 😁😁💜💜

Great service, great food. Best sweet and sour fish:)

Awesome authentic Chinese restaurant, totes recommend peeps frequent this place.

I go to South City Restaurant once a month with friends. The food is wonderful. Authentic. Jenny is delightful & attends to our needs very well. I will continue to go back.CL

We often go there when our friends want yum cha. Personally we love fresh Tofu, very soft, delicate taste which we dont get anywhere in Dunedin. Service can be slow sometimes when especially people on tour are there having lunch, but overall okay. We ordered Long bean dishes as well as noodles and both are nice.

Lovely staff and great Chinese cuisine.

Good quality and many authentic Chinese dishes. Good service and prices too.

Really nice food with reasonable price. Try their chef specials.

We decided to come here for a family lunch on Sunday because of a previous social lunch few months back. The rice dish is basically that, big portion of rice with smaller portion of vegetables and meat. There was not a trace of lemon in lemon chicken, which looked more like sweet and sour. Fried noodles wasnt tasty or attractive either. Sweet and sour pork was ok. The only great dish was the fried hor fun. All in all, we were very disappointed with the service too as it took over 40 minutes to serve our first dish. There was another table of young couple who got their food before us, even though they came in more than 30 minutes after we placed our order. If you are after fast service, try other places nearby.

Our food was really yummy, and portion sizes were generous.

Using local ingredients, but great food nonetheless.

Always love coming here!!!! Great food! Great People!! Thank you.

South City Restaurant has the best Sichuan food in Dunedin. You got to try Dandan mian (spicy noodle souphere. Very friendly and enjoyable environment.

Awesome food, quick service. Small seemed to be same as large dish

Quality food at a good price. Authentic Chinese not food court.

Taste really nice, and the staffs are really nice,too.

Went with my Mum and 2 nephews for lunch. Looks really nice inside etc. There was a Chinese man eating a bowl of chicken bones(he was the chef ). The waitress was pleasantly nice but could not speak English well at all. Ordered a Chicken and Soul Fish Fried Rice($13 Large loads of rice, very little pieces of chicken and fish,loads of sesame oil with classic mixed frozen carrots and peas from a cheap 1kg ). And a Medium Chicken Mushroom Vegetables on Rice. Well the Fried Rice was served in 5 minutes and we all ate that in 10 minutes(no service ). Then went to pay as we waited to long for the last dish ($10). So we waited another 5 minutes for the last dish. So took home for dinner and it was : Little chicken bones, fine diced 1 mushroom, 2 little pieces of broccoli and cauliflower, and again masses of rice! This was the most disappointing Chinese meal I have ever eaten and will never go back there, or recommend anyone to dine(at your own risk!).

Great food. Very tasty. Wonderful customer service. Highly recommended

Lovely quaint eat in or take away. Good consistent taste each time. The banquet options are good value too

Awesome authentic Chinese cuisines! best in Dunedin IMHO

Every dish we ordered were delicious, in an authentic Chinese way.

Friendly staff. Nice food. Waiting time can be a bit longer than expected during peak hours.

Went here for dinner earlier this week for a group of 10. We ordered the set menu. It took over 1 hour to get the entrees. The rest of the meal came very slowly. Then they forgot to cook one of the dishes. The food was mediocre. We will not be back!

Nice food, reasonability priced, will come again!

This restaurant used to be the very popular Shanghai Restaurant but it changed hands 6 months ago as we found out last week. They still serve their famous friend eggy tofu. The place looked tired and needs a little spruce up. There were only two people in the restaurant, to what looks like the wife in the till, taking orders and the husband cooking and cleaning up. I wonder what it would be like if there were more customer. There werent a lot of people when we had dinner but we waited for a considerable amount of time before we got our food. I wont to dining at this place but will surely take away the tofu.
