Decent dim sum Place. Very busy though, and the tables are so close to each other, kinda hard to move around. The chairs are very closely seated together as well.
Great taste. The lobster rice was only $39.99. Clean environment. Distantly spaced. Covid friendly. The rate at which they put out the dishes was slow. We waited 35 min from ordering to getting the food. But the taste made the wait worth it!
This restaurant used to be known as the old South Ocean, but it has since been renovated and looks quite nice. I haven't had the chance to try dinner yet, but the dim sum is quite good. The dishes are served promptly after you order. They offer some unique items, like 'tom yum' omasum and 'truffle' siu mai. The omasum tasted similar to other standard omasum dim sum dishes, but the truffle siu mai was a delightful addition. However, the tendon beef stomach dish was a bit of a letdown, as it only included one piece of stomach. The prices on the menu are generally average to slightly above average, but there's a 20% discount with free tea before 11 am and a 10% discount with free tea after 11 am, which helps with costs. Just a heads up about parking—make sure to use the lot in front of the restaurant, as the nearby lot isn't part of the plaza. There's an undercover parking attendant who watches closely and issues tickets!
Dragon Group Seafood Restaurant has taken over the spot where South Ocean used to be. I remember I used to go to South Ocean quite a bit when I was younger. The restaurant has been re-decorated to give it a more high end feel. First off, we had the Pan Fried Rice Rolls. We found the portion to be smaller in comparison with some other restaurants but the taste and texture was good.
We had a wonderful dinner. The whole crab was perfectly cooked, and the sticky rice underneath was delightful as it soaked up the crab's flavor. They also did a great job with the stir-fried tong choy, which can be a challenging dish to get right. The service was good, and our waiter was quite attentive. Keep in mind that this is no longer the budget-friendly South Ocean Seafood, so you should anticipate significantly higher prices. However, if they have special deals on seafood, it's definitely worth taking advantage of!
