They were absolutely amazing, everything was delicious - and they were so lovely at pickup - they insisted on carrying our order out to the car. Super friendly, generous servings, SO AFFORDABLE! If you wanna get some good old chinese, this would be the spot. They deserve all the 5 stars :D

What I posted here cost me only $15, can you believe it in 2024 that I can say this amount of food cost me $15. I don't think I've written a review ever to say something was this cheap but not only that I have to commend the food was just so Cantonese authentic which I personally am as well. I just googled the place and found it with all these great reviews and had to check it out. I spoke to who I believe is the owner, she was wonderful to speak with in Cantonese, hope she remembers me she was delightful such a sweetheart. The meal was two thumbs up coming from a Cantonese food loving person.

I really wanted to like this place more after reading the great reviews and the fantastic and kind service in the whole process of getting my order. The price to food ratio was good however the food was a little bland likely due in large part to us not receiving the sweet and sour sauce that was supposed to accompany our order. I am interested in trying the other dishes they have to offer and hope for a more positive second experience as their prices and service truly can't be beat.

This place is one of the best places I have been to in toronto and this isn't a joke. The staff will treat you as you mother treats. Very polite, very respectful and a food is amazing too. When i came by there it was a hot day, i ordered a combo for 10$ and they gave me a watter and an ice cream for free. Alex and his mom really care about their customers. All the best to this little business and Alex's family.

Such a gem, I went close to their closing time and they still served me. I felt bad, but made sure to tip extra even for take out. The price of food here is very reasonable. Please come short your local Asian food. I’ve read their precise reviews and spoke to the people getting food there, impressive. I’ll definitely bees coming back. It’s one of those unassuming establishments…very low key. Writing this is making me hungry. See you soon. Great family vibes.

you get a crazy amount of shrimp for a really good price. my intuition tells me the bbq pork fried rice should also taste good. a little suggestion for the chief, adding both dark soy sauce and light soy sauce might be a good choice.

I ordered the Sweet and Sour Spareribs, Chicken Fried Rice and one Egg Roll at South Pacific. I am on the hunt to find the best of the above meal in Toronto. I attended this location because of the rating and I gave the 4/5 because for Service this location is wonderful! I was greeted ever so nicely and treated well in action as well. For the food itself I did not enjoy it. Sorry. I wanted to love it but, the Sweet and Sour Spareribs was not as I am used to and the rice was not good. I do feel bad to say this because the people who work here is real nice people. The Egg roll was good with the plum sauce. I may try another meal in the future but, I won't be rushing back any time soon. As for parking its quite tight as it's near a bus stop. If you drive call in advance and place the order to pick up. Otherwise I hope others try something else and have a better meal than I. The food just was not good.

Okay first of all... The food. The charm .. the kindness. Cant remember a time Ive interacted with such jovial people. My heart was leaping with joy when one of the owners appeared from the serving window with two lime crush freezies... For free, just for us !? while another lovely woman spoke from the kitchen about how beautiful of a couple myself and wifey were.... .....( ) Anyways, I was buzzing like a bee the second I walked in and out of this luvly spot. The food is clearly made with genuine love, the pricing is great, and the best service in town. South Pacific is an ideal come true !

Found this place by a review. Did a pickup order (takeout only). Food was ready fairly quickly. The gentleman at the counter was friendly and offered us bottled water. When I went to pick up food, I was greeted by the whole family it seems! Very friendly folks. Lots of food for the price. Very reasonable. Food was very good. Nothing fancy, just well prepared and fresh. Would return for sure!

This is our FAVOURITE Chinese takeout spot. The food is absolutely fantastic we try different items and have always enjoyed each of them they as fresh as can be and a five minute drive to pick up, which make it invaluable. We have two young kids and were scrambling for food the other day when our dinner plans went sideways. Alex was very considerate during his dinner rush, as he always is, and could hear our kids screaming in the background. He pulled out two freezies for the kids as he mentioned he could hear the kids on the phone. This gesture saved the evening and the kids ate well before having their freezie dessert! Thanks Alex and your mom!

New review: I would just like to say this place is truly exceptional. Incredibly kind owners. I have never had such amazing service at any restaurant which is why im updating my review 2 years later. The food is also very good at a very fair price. Highly recommend dropping by. Thank you, truly. Your kindness has left an impact on me and I often share my experiences here with friends. I only wish i could come more often as i don t live in the city Old review: Came to the restaurant earlier today. As soon as Alex saw my uber eats bag he offered me a free meal and a free drink. I have to say Alex is an incredibly kind and friendly person, the interaction has honestly made my week. South Pacific has earned a loyal customer and I look forward to eating here again.

I live 1 1/2 hours away from this restaurant. But i have been coming here for at least 35 years, passing about 40 competitors that I could easily pick up at on the way But no way. . Every time I come to Toronto to visit my cousin Alex, its become our tradition that we make a visit to see the other Alex and his mom . For 35 years the food has been awesome , the portions and prices are fair , and I know they are getting gouged for food costs just like the rest of us . And more importantly, I know they have my cousins back, especially since his stroke. .They always. ask about him . How many places do you eat at where you can say that the owners are so kind they actually care about people ? . I cant confidently recommend South Pacific enough. Explore the menu . Youll keep finding new favourites with enough variety you can eat there weekly no prob, with all kinds of variety

January 22, 2024

I ve ordered here in the past and was satisfied with the food. However, this time I ordered and was completely disappointed with the food/service. I ordered the Szechuan chicken dish, only to realize there was no chicken in my meal. I called to let them know and they told me if I drove back they would provide me with my correct order. When I got there one of the workers came out of the kitchen and told me if I want more chicken I should go to china town! . I left completely shocked and returned home with the second dish. Still no chicken and completely inedible. Feels a little personal

Terrible experience with this restaurant s service! I called thinking this was a restaurant that had delivered to me once, and was told they don t deliver so I was surprised and said it might have been a confusion with the number then I looked up the restaurant on google maps to make sure I tapped their number since this was the restaurant I wanted, calling again not knowing if this would be the same place I had just called. To confirm if they had no delivery and choose pickup, I asked if I was calling the same place that I had called just now asking about delivery, and the woman said they don t deliver and hang up on my face. What she should have said was: we don t deliver would you like to pickup? To which I would have said yes to, but instead got mistreated and now am ordering from elsewhere and will not call or go to this place ever again.

This was my second visit to this family run business. Susan and Alex undoubtedly have preserved an open kitchen takeout concept I first encountered in the 1970s. These small establishments provided working class people an option for picking up a home-style cooked meal of authentic flavours quickly and effortlessly. According to my friend, who always chooses Chinese styles for takeout, this is unquestionably the best place we have patronised in the last seven years. Many thanks for the friendly service and authentic well prepared food in both portion and quality.

First time trying this place , I order a combo plate with chicken balls , chicken fried rice and sweet & sour ribs and I also got an order of chicken wings I loveeeee Chinese food and have ate from most places in Toronto . The fried rice wasn t fried , still had lots of chunks of white rice , no flavour , no green onions , no egg , no peas or carrots. Very plain white rice The chicken ball has a sour taste to it and some of the chicken balls had no chicken , just dough (in pic) The sweet & sour ribs was bones covered in dough or just a ball of dough (in picture) The chicken wings were okay , it doesn t have a typical Chinese flavour , more like kfc fried chicken . Also when you walk in all you smell is air freshener, I found weird , didn t smell any food at all This place doesn t also deliver or work with any delivery apps so you have to pick up , I would definitely not go out my way again to try for an second time even if I was offered a free meal

Hidden gem! Family run Chinese restaurant with delicious food. The Singapore noodles are to die for and are always the first to go at the dinner table! They give free items as well (rice, drinks etc). One occasion I picked up my order before closing time (totally forgot they close at 8) and they didn t even charge me for the order and they were not mad!! The chicken to veggie portion is very light, but for the price it s not a big deal. Definitely recommend adding extra chicken to the dishes if they ll do it for addition charge.

Im very impressed, I went into the restaurant to see if they could sell something quickly because I didnt eat from 9 am to 6 pm and the owner gave me very good service. This type of attitude in a person is gratifying and the food is very good. !! Thanks for the water & rice

One of the friendliest interactions I ve had in recent memory. Cheap, great big portions and just genuinely nice service.

Super yum and such good value! The BBQ pork and broccoli is the best weve had. Did not like the sweet and sour sauce at all but doesnt take away from the rating. Tonnes of veggies. 2nd time: ChowMein could be saucy-er, so Ill ask for more next time and its clear theyll take feedback / special requests. Realistic expectations management for pickup: their prices have increased from their paper menu and they sometimes are too optimistic on timelines so you have to wait longer. But they are so NICE!
