This newly refurbished restaurant is located on the outskirts of the iconic Subang airport. The restaurant features Balinese and Thai interior decorating ideas, well-designed to give you that perfect dining experience. It gets really crowded especially during peak meal times. We came here during dinner time and it was pretty busy inside and out with patrons. Reservations are recommended.
At South Sea's they craft dishes only with the fresh seafood from the aquarium and prepared with a dedication and paired by an enviable selection of unique wines. They showcase their wide selection of fresh seafood such as spider crabs. lobsters, clams etc in the various huge aquariums. Workers will fish out those seafood once you've made your order.
We are able to order the fresh seafood from the aquarium. The menu offers several standard cooking chinese cooking styles and complement them with a bottle of wine or fresh beer. What else distinguish South Sea from the typical chinese seafood restaurant? The impressive in-house wine cellar definitely sets them in high spirits with great choices of whites, reds and even champagne.
First, we had the Kung-Po Prawn Mantis. The Mantis Prawn was flavorful, well prepared with nice fragrance and decorations.
We also ordered one of my favorites, Stir-Fried Squid with Salted Egg. However, the dish didn't meet the standards. These squids were soft and not-chewy texture. We definitely expected well-seasoned chewy squids with crunchy texture outside.
Same goes to the well-decorated Signature Seafood Tofu with homemade sauce, the dish portion was a little small and nothing much to shout about.
Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes or more especially for their famous dishes. We had the rich and creamy Seafood Otak-otak with homemade spices wrapped and grilled on the sizzling plate.
After finished all the dishes, here came the last one, Stir-Fried Crabs with Seafood Soy Sauce. Their basics were pretty standard, which did not really impress us.

The restaurant caters mid-to-upper class consumers, not forgetting they are also pork-free to target our Muslim friends. Overall, it's not a truly memorable feast. Considering the steeper prices of the dishes, we would definitely expect a higher quality food with slightly bigger portion as well. Perhaps, we should come back to splurge for their signature dish, Spider Crab which would cost minimum RM 1k and above.
Come for the pleasant restaurant environment, the food and services require further attention and improvement.
