New South Ocean Chinese & Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Springfield Township

I'm from out of state and I was in Flourtown, PA visiting my mom. I often eat Asian food as I love the different flavors. I also have celiac and many Asian entrees are gluten free.

My Mom and I had spotted the restaurant on Bethlehem Pike, and I was skeptical as the outside signage and appearance was not appealing. However, when we stepped inside our opinions changed for the better.

The restaurant was charming and was spotless and very inviting. The staff were very welcoming, and our entrees fresh and delicious. I had the daily sushi roll special and my my mom had a Chinese entree of shrimp with lobster sauce. The shrimp portion was very generous and the sauce was flavorful but didn't over power the dish. The rice was newly steamed, not dry. My sushi roll was beautifully made and presented, and the tuna was so fresh and married well with the other ingredients.

I will definitely dine at this...

Acessibility for people with disabilites: Strip mall sidewalk with curb cuts at end. Handicapped parking spaces near curb cut. Standard commercial door with moderate sill into vestibule entry. Second door is lightweight and easy to push/pull. Tables with chairs that can be removed for wheelchairs. Hall to restrooms partly obstructed by highchair storage. Ladies room is accessible for WC transfer if trash can is moved out of the way.

Food: Had 6.95 lunch specials, which had good portions. Average Chinese food. Brown rice on request. Did not try sushi or Thai. The server was very attentive, boxed leftovers at the table (which I like). After the check was paid she brought over a dish of fried noodles that had just been made. Great lunch stop during Saturday...

Hoping for a better-than-average suburban Chinese restaurant but this is not it. I went on the high average review but it looks like many of those are either from a while ago or for the Thai or Japanese. I ordered Chinese and was disappointed with almost everything. And I'm really not that picky. Wonton soup was not great. The hot and sour was neither hot nor sour. The 'spicy' orange chicken smelled weird, wasn't spicy at all, and was comprised of unpleasantly thickly battered chunks of chewy chicken. The lo mein was bland - just tasted of salty spaghetti. The fried dumplings are the only thing that was okay. Won't be coming back. The search for a local place that can tide me over until I get to 11th and Race for Lee How Fook's...
