Came to this restaurant for a wedding reception. Gave it two stars bc the food was decent. The only dish that really stood out to us was a dish with a crab claw type puff. The puff was filled with real crab meat as well as the crab meat from the attached claw. All other dishes were alright. This restaurant lost 3 stars for their service. While some of the servers were nice, there were others that weren't as courteous. All food was being placed on a lazy Suzan. When we saw food coming, we tried to rearrange plates (which were huge) to make room for the new plate. At one point, a server just stacked a plate of food on top of two plates still containing food. Why would one do that if we're still eating?! Then they started clearing plates to give us fresh ones while we were eating. Anyways, first time eating here and I don't see myself going back. read more

Silver Seafood Restaurant - I don't want the backside of a plate, that's been on how many surfaces maybe, touching food I want to eat. - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you like Chinese food, you will LOVE Silver Seafood...one of the most authentic restaurants I have had to pleasure to try thanks to a couple of great friends who introduced us to this place. THE BEST HOT AND SOUR SOUP ANYWHERE (not only is it fresh, it has chunks and chunks of seafood that compliments the soup quite well). Fresh seafood dishes and very authentic. And you also have to try the fried calamari and fried oysters...you will thank me later! Other favorites include seafood basket and in shell oyster stir fried with black beans and garlic. Truly finger licking good! And for those who are more into the Americanized Chinese style food...I also loved their fried rice. Being Chinese, I usually don't order it, but I must admit that once in a while, I have the CRAVING for a great fried rice. And guess what? THIS is where I get it! And for those colder months...why go out? Silver Seafood delivers! read more

Went here for my birthday (it was my fifth visit) we had a group of 11 and had a great time. Now I have read the other reviews, and I have an advantage my friend Steve who is Chinese and always is the table captain and does all the ordering for the whole table. he is a pro! The best dish was Chinese sausage fried rice. The amazing and different flavors in this dish was amazing. I could of just ate that! Second was hollow root, I think they call it (empty vegetable with garlic) it is also amazing! it was my favorite from before I had the fried rice. Fried soft shell crab was next......yummy. Next was duck with taro root. very unexpected and delicious with a nice dipping sauce. We also had a fried Tilapia which was so tender it melted in your mouth. next was the Clams with black bean sauce. We also had orange chicken which was a table favorite. I know I am missing some dishes but when I remember I will add them later. The decor is bland at best, the service is tough because English is everyone's second language there. But all is worth it for the food! The bubble teas are good there, but they don't have taro root which if you ever have a chance to get a Taro Root bubble tea get it they are strangely amazing(Joy Yee has them) I had a mango with tapioca. They also had about 10 kids terrorizing the place all about 4-6 years old. They didn't bother me but other customers were rolling there eyes. Basically sometimes for good food you have to put up with cultural differences and bland decor to make your taste-buds sing! P.S. make sure you get a parking sign for your car if you park in the lot! I have never had a parking problem there!! read more

Silver Seafood is my go-to Chinese spot outside of Chinatown. I suppose the service could be described as "utilitarian". They sit you down, they take your order, and they bring your food. Pretty straight forward. What I really come here for is the food. The highlights for me include the Hot & Sour Soup, Beef Chow Fun, and Lemon Chicken. I know these may sound like some items you'd typically see from your dime-a-dozen Americanized Chinese restaurants (and they do have an extensive authentic Chinese menu if you're feeling adventurous), but it's the execution and flavor of these dishes that truly separates Silver Seafood from the rest of the pack. FYI, you can park in the big parking lot just north of Silver Seafood for free. Just be sure to ask for a parking pass at the restaurant to put on your dashboard. read more

Oh... emmmm.... GEEEEEEEEE. I love this place. For me, this is the best take out in Chicago. I enjoy their General Tso's Chicken. I order peanuts to be added to it. It is perfectly breaded and is coated with a sweet and soury tangy sauce that will make you lick your lips, the fork and fingers. I will assume you might use your hands and go all in with your face because it is good. For starters, I usually will go with egg rolls which are just okay. Kind of heavy breaded wrapping paper that is not my favorite. However, the Crab Ragoon is darn good but I have yet to meet a piece of fried dough, stuffed with crab and cream cheese that I have yet to like. And, you get some sweet/sour sauce to dab into? Yum yum in the tum tum! Go check this place out cuz their take out is on point! read more

I found this place pretty gross, actually. Got take out once, found it all to be below-average, never went back. Not much to say, other than they've got a chinese menu that may be fun to explore. read more

Came here late night as they are conveniently open until 1AM daily. This place has been bookmarked for some time ever since it debuted on check please. My GF ordered the egg drop soup and stir fried veggie shrimp in white sauce. The egg drop soup was pretty straightforward and average, but her shrimp entree certainly was more memorable. Usually white sauces are bland in my opinion, but silver seafood's has an appealing character for the taste buds. I ordered a supposedly small order of the hot & sour soup with seafood. The bowl that they gave to me was HUGE, and nearly filled my belly with spicy deliciousness before my entree arrived. My main choice was frog in a black bean sauce as I wanted to be a little creative and try something I never had before. The sauce was delicious and the frog was extremely tender, but a little more fatty than I would have preferred (eh, I guess that's the price one pays for taking a chance on something they've never tried before). read more

I enjoy seafood and they had one that I have not had before. The shrimp chop suey was flavored well and the serving was more than adequate. The soup that came first was excellent. The place is roomy and popular with the Asian community judging by the customers that I saw. It is a worthy place to eat. read more

I came here with a new friend who, for reasons I don't understand, doesn't really like Thai food. For me, ever since I discovered Thai food, I've almost never been interested in going to Chinese restaurants... Lao Sze Schuan being the one exception. It's just not something I crave. But I'm flexible and I like to eat pretty much anything, so I went for it! It's not far from the Lawrence red line, up on Broadway where you just start getting into Little Vietnam. Allegedly they have a parking lot, but it's a really accessible location so you shouldn't need it. The dining room is pretty sparsely decorated, except for over to the one side you can see a dance floor and a podium - looks like this place is used as a banquet hall, perhaps for weddings? They serve a little wine and beer, and also bubble tea, but we didn't get any. Their menu is massive and it's hard to make decisions. We went with the red snapper in Hunan sauce (an indulgence at about $22), and the mapo tofu (called "spicy tofu with ground pork"). "That dish has meat in it," warned the server. I nodded seriously, and thanked her for the useful information. I would never have guessed that a dish by that name would have meat in it, so good thing she warned me! Everything was tasty, it's just not my favorite type of cuisine. I loved the silken tofu in the mapo tofu. Though advertised as spicy, it was really not bad at all. The tofu and meat were served in a tasty, sticky sauce with a few peas and some scallions. The savory tofu was the best part, but as always I can take-or-leave the sticky, gloppy sauce that seems to be in so many Chinese dishes. Our server cut the red snapper for us, which was good as we were about to screw it up royally. She was disappointed I didn't want to eat the eyes. It was good, I liked the crispy texture, but I'd just as soon have paid $10 less for a different seafood dish. Quite a large portion though, as it's, you know, a whole fish. Service was friendly and attentive. And I got a good fortune in my cookie. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back if Chinese was on the agenda, but I have to say it just doesn't really hold my interest the way that Thai or Indian food do. It didn't stand out to me as unique, the way Lao Sze Schuan did. I'd rather trek down to Chinatown. read more

I've visited this place twice. The first time I had a great experience - the food was good, reasonably priced, and it was a much better option than the hour-plus trek to Chinatown for dim sum. The second time I visited here happened to be on a busy day when many large groups were eating lunch. My group was seated when there were relatively few others in the restaurant. However, all the other groups (all of a similar size) who came in after us received their food well before us. When the servers DID pay attention to us, they were incredibly rude and often ignored/did not respond to requests for more dim sum or things such as silverware. Finally, two hours after starting to try and eat our meal, we decided to just cancel the last, open orders (that we had made well over an HOUR before) and leave the restaurant. read more

I personally believe this is the most underrated chinese restaurant in chicago. It's my favorite to go to for dinner. It is criminal that it isn't listed in the top best chinese restaurants in Chicago on listicle type sites. read more

Silver Seafood is one of the best places to find authentic Chinese in Chicago (my other favorite on the north side is nearby Sun Wah--you won't find better roast duck in town). Don't go here for the ambiance: go for the food. Which is fantastic. Not only is the seafood wonderful, but they have fantastic dishes all across the board, and the menu is extensive. (I haven't yet coughed up the money for the difficult-to-find shark's fin soup, but it's on the menu--and priced accordingly so that you're likely to get a good amount of actual shark fin in each bowl.) Try the Duck with Assorted Meats (don't worry, it has lots of vegetables as well), which is my favorite dish. The portions are generous and meant to be shared family-style, and the one time I walked in to order takeout my dish sufficed for three meals. For all the complaints about the service, I've never had any issues--in fact, they've been particularly nice, and I'm in there on a very regular basis (some of the staff actually recognize me now). I am Chinese, and I used to cook a decent amount of it in my own kitchen until moving 10 minutes away from the Argyle area. With amazing, reasonably-priced Chinese food so close by, there's little reason to make it at home. read more

The food here is really top notch. The lemon chicken at Silver Seafood puts all other lemon chicken to shame. I always make sure someone is ordering the lemon chicken every time I go. I encourage everyone to at least try the seafood corn soup. If corn soup or seafood is not your thing, I understand. Otherwise, no excuses. I have, on multiple occassions, walked out with a scorched tongue because I could not wait for the soup to cool before eating it. The portions are gigantic. I have gone with three people, ordered two dishes, and still had leftovers. And the food is cheap, especially for the quality and quantity. I can understand the complaints people have about the service. I won't say that the service is bad, but it has certainly never been above mediocre. That is the only thing holding Silver back from being a five star review. read more

Great Chinese food in Uptown, We love their Dim Sum!! It's the best fresh Dim Sum in Chicago!! Don't miss to try Steam custard bun, it was so delicious and melt in your mount!!. Everything here is fresh . Check it out guys!! read more

This is one of the very few Chinese restaurants in Chicago that live up to my expectations. The Americanized menu is minimal at best, but if you want things like baby clams in a stunningly vibrant black bean sauce, roasted pigeon, or quail stir-fried with ginger and green onions, not to mention a huge variety of other options, this is a fantastic place. I could easily come here on a regular basis and find new things to try, many of which are rarely seen even in Chicago's Chinatown. Everything is fresh, the service is efficient and friendly, and I've never had a bad experience here. It's true that the atmosphere is lacking, but who really cares? Order some items from the Chinese menu, take a few risks, and have fun. Then go back and do it all over again. Life is far too short to simply order beef and broccoli every time you go out. This is a place where you can expand your palate. Next time I go, I'm getting the chicken feet in hot sauce...or maybe the fried intestines. read more

I was trying to find a good dim sum place on argyle and this was not it. We came here on a friday night around 7:45 and asked if they still serve dim sum. They said they do. We sat down, about to order and was told 75% of the menu was not available. Basically could only order stuff that can be steamed back up if they were stored frozen. How irritating, why were we not informed of this before we started ordering. Also ordered the ginger chicken, it was good but never had ginger chicken with soy sauce in it, so that made it kind of weird. Also ordered the dry beef chow fun and let me just say, it looked nothing like the picture on the menu so did you switched chef or what? The chow fun was suuuuuuper greasy i think i got heartburn. The servers were nice and courteous but very clumsy, she splattered ice and coca cola right in front of a table. Yikes read more

I've been to Silver Seafood just two times, I think, both for lunch. We almost ordered delivery for the in-laws a year or so ago, but we were afraid that the menu would be incomprehensible and "scary" to them so we nixed that. Anyways, as others have pointed out, the interior is not impressive in terms of what American diners expect. When you enter, you see a bar area that's really just the place where the beer and wine are stored, and the smoothies are made. Then you see the interior - one large room with plain off-white walls, a mirror on one wall, an impressively large lobster towards the back right of the room, and a stage far on the right (my wife wondered what it's used for, but it seems like they do special events etc). Oh, and against the back wall is a lobster / crab tank that they restocked with crabs, to the delight of my children. The tables are covered with thin plastic for easy cleanup - so, no, it's not too elegant. The first time we came, we had a lunch special. I can't remember too much about it, but I was a little disappointed because I didn't get a chance to order some of the interesting things they have on the menu (a whole frog's legs section!). Today we we had some several simple dishes. Ma Po tofu, Chinese broccoli with garlic, shrimp and cashew in a potato nest, and vegetable chow mein. The kids also had vegetable egg rolls and a strawberry smoothie; we had Tsing Tao of course. The egg rolls, which we ordered right away, came quickly and were hot - and our kids (2 and 4) were stoked. The other food followed about ten minutes later - perfect timing for a lunch if you ask me. The Chinese broccoli was first - crispy and substantial, and coated in a glorious garlicky sauce - not swimming in an oily-garlic soup as it it sometimes presented (though I do love that - as long as there's lots of garlic). A+. The chow mein was probably next. Now, I haven't had chow mein since I was a kid - I guess I associate it with cheap supermarket and generic Chinese restaurant meals. This was a totally different dish - slightly crisped noodles were covered with just-done mixed veggies (water chestnuts, broccoli, snow peas, onion, mushrooms, baby corn, baby bok choy...) in a light clear sauce. Simple and elegant, and beautiful in the dish. The shrimp and cashew was next. The "nest" of deep-fried potato strips sat on a bed of shredded napa cabbage, and the shrimp and cashew in its dark sauce filled the interior. Again, the shrimp were nicely done here, and there were lots of them. Lots of cashews, too, and chunks of cucumber to offset what might otherwise have been a heavy dish with the nuts and shrimp. This was good, but not as impressive to me as the other dishes. The Ma Po tofu was different than others I've had. First the tofu itself was in larger chunks - about 2" cubes - and the sauce was lighter and not as hot, and not drowning the tofu. Again, as with the chow mein, the vegetables were discrete and identifiable, not swimming in sauce. If I was alone or at least without kids, I would have wanted the sauce to be hotter. But it was perfect for the kids, who both like fried tofu and helped themselves to it. Our experience with the service was perfectly fine - some servers had heavy accents but they certainly were attentive and actually brought a high chair to the table before we even got there. Best of all, the bill was much less than I expected it to be. I didn't know this restaurant was on Check Please!, but my impression is that for lunch they're still doing a great job. I'll go back again for sure, it's a great outing after hitting the Asian groceries closer to Arglye and just steps away from the Lawrence El. read more

I'd like to preface this review by saying I will give this place another try because friends have raved, and I may have ordered the wrong type of thing. A friend and I were looking for some fast and tasty Chinese food such as general tso's, chicken & broccoli, and some dumplings. Well this was precisely what we ordered for delivery and both of us were disappointed. Neither dish had a lot of flavor nor tasted that fresh. The dumplings were.....inedible. The prices were also a little high considering what we ordered. However, like I said, I'll give it another try because a friend said it's the place to go for seafood (yeah, duh, I know) and not for the typical fast food Chinese fare. Also, the delivery was fast and the person who took my order was very friendly. Alas, my search for decent and tasty Chinese food continues. Anyone have any suggestions? read more

A friend of mine was in Chicago for a few hours and he called me to see if I was available for dinner. Of course, I gladly agreed to dinner. With my friend's meal options being very limited, he mentioned he loves Chinese. So, being in Uptown, I had loads of options. We I decided Silver Seafood. After arriving, we were greeted by a very hospitable woman. She made our dining experience a great one!!! As an appetizer, we ordered veggie egg rolls. For a main dish, we all ordered a different dish: general tso's chicken, shrimp with and lobster sauce, empress chicken, and double flavors chicken. We all loved our dishes. No complaints on this end!!! Will definitely go back to this place!! Great food, great service, great location!!! read more

Friendly waitstaff! They're mostly from Hong Kong, including the chef, so you'll see some good ol' cantonese food on the menu. Well I suppose some other people said they're not friendly, but I asked about Hong Kong and they opened right up... there are a couple of treasures here like full sections of abalone and shark's fin dishes... wow, that is rare. I wouldn't say the quality would be much more than average on a weeknight, like when I went on Tuesday, but you do get some true-to-form HK'ers in this restaurant because you can hear the cantonese sputtered throughout the dining room, which looks like a pretty typical chinese restaurant. seafood here is indeed good n fresh, and they're open till 1am (late night menu, free parking!)(!) dang! True-to-form HK'ers don't really do spicy food that much--they are masters, however, at brown sauce, fresh seafoods, and some stylish fried things. If you want to stretch for it, go for the abalone: if you've never had it, you're missing out. staples like the hong sieu tofu and black mushrooms are done well. scallops and shrimp had the characteristic crispiness of freshness and good cooking. if you're there drunk late night, you probably could use some fried food and protein, which is completely recommendable. read more

Food: Phenomenal. Service: Scarce to non-existent. This is Chinese with a heavy Vietnamese influence, and our group of six didn't have a bad dish among the...several...that we ordered ;). Amazing barbecued pork and beef with oyster sauce, but my favorite may have been the crispy duck rolls. I think I might be able to survive on those alone. Even the egg drop soup was better than average. So why the three stars? Well, with service this spotty, you have to choose your dining pals carefully. Definitely not the place to take anyone you want to impress; anyone who's impatient; anyone who is accustomed to an attentive waitstaff...you get the picture. As we were a larger group, we were happy to chat until our server (and then our food, and then our bill) finally came. Other diners around us - including a couple and a four-top - were not as tolerant. I figure any Saturday night is going to be busy, especially with a recent feature on 'Check, Please', but this was pretty crazy. When we requested that our remaining dishes be boxed up, our server nodded and promptly disappeared. When she returned about ten minutes later, she piled our plates...on the empty table next to us, with the empty boxes beside them. It was another ten minutes before she (or maybe a passing stranger?) boxed them up. I'd definitely return, but with a select group. In this case, the larger the better; they can probably accommodate up to 15-20 per party and you'll be able to spend lots of quality time together! read more

Another night out to see my oldest daughter and her troop perform in their improv show. My wife, younger daughter, her friend, my sister-in-law and I all decide on Silver Seafood for dinner and then the improv show. We of course ordered the Shrimp and Sweet Walnuts dinner again. Huge pieces of shrimp with small cut walnuts in an ohhhh sooooo good sweet sauce. We also ordered the Mongolian Beef, with loads of tender beef strips that were really good. We had the Combination Fried Rice with loads of tasty meat pieces but some of the blandest tasting rice ever. The Egg Rolls were good. The Saute Beef was out of this world, the beef was cooked just right, tasty and tender with green peppers, tomatoes and pineapple pieces. Also the Pot Stickers were thin breaded and steamed, not deep fried and heavy. Everything, including the Banana Smoothies was really good. Another excellent dinner with family and a GREAT improv show by my oldest daughter. What more could a father ask for. read more

I've been here multiple times for dim sum, but I have yet to try their dinner. Stopped by again this afternoon for dim sum (woot! 20% off everyday!). Ordered: eggplant stuffed with shrimp, shrimp rice crepe, choy (green veggies) all with the sauce on side, fried taro puffs, fried pot stickers, and chicken feet. Split between two big eaters, the food was pretty filling and overall good standard dim sum fare. My only qualm was that the pot stickers kind of had an off filling texture. I don't know why, but it just didn't taste right to me...too mushy I guess (I've tried plenty of pot stickers at dim sum/non-dim sum restaurants before to reference). Other than that, I was pretty satisfied with the food. Kind of spotty service, especially when we were among the very few diners there, but I don't really come to dim sum for service--just the food. It *did* worry me a bit that the restaurant was practically empty during the lunch hour...but maybe it's hopping during dinner? Overall, I liked Silver Seafood. I will probably stop by again for dim sum, and try out their dinner sometime too. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I work at the Just Tires right down the street so I come here very often. They've got lunch specials for about 5-6 dollars and you get a lot of food. An egg roll, lots of fried rice, and whatever your entre was. I normally get the chicken in garlic sauce. SO GOOD!!! Definitely go here. Always go here. Live here. lol Just playing. But it's so good. I'd give it more than five if I could. read more

I've tried a few of the noodle dishes here. My favorite so far is the Xiamen noodles. They skimp on the shrimp and meat, but adding pickled vegetables to the dish almost makes up for it. I'm not sure if this is my fav Chinese place in the area, especially with Lao Sze Chuan across the street (though I prefer Szichuan food in general), but I really like getting takeout here. read more

My mom engages in old school Yelping: finding out restaurants by word of mouth from her co-workers. Their latest suggestion? Silver Seafood because it's "the best seafood north of Chinatown." I'm going to have to disagree with this claim. Silver Seafood is located around the corner from the Lawrence red line stop, and north of the tire garage. You can tell it's a fixture in a neighborhood that's gentrifying. Restaurant patrons are from all walks of life - though our little family felt dwarfed sitting at a big, round table meant for at least seven people. Many families of seven or larger came in to dine. The menu is extensive and they offer things I normally don't see: shark fin soup, meats in a 'bird's nest', and other things. We ordered half a crispy chicken, pineapple with seafood fried rice, shrimp with sweet walnuts, and a steamed tofu dish with bok choy and shrimp. The crispy chicken dish came with prawn crackers (one of my favorite snacks). I also ordered a mango smoothie. Overall, we weren't impressed even though the bill was extremely reasonable. The crispy chicken was just that - crispy chicken. No flavors really stuck out in my mind. The tofu dish was bland (as expected) though unique. I've eaten better shrimp with sweet walnuts, and had better mango smoothies elsewhere. And fried rice is fried rice. I must reiterate that this place is fantastic for groups. read more

This place is FOB-u-lous! You can't get much more authentic than this place (unless of course you are in Hong Kong). The menu is both in Chinese and English so you can order all of the fish bladders and jelly fish you can eat! I grew up on this kind of food and I miss it terribly! Bird Nest soup and Shark Fin soup is also on the menu. They have your normal Chinese take out selections as well as more authentic selections and family style packages. It also looks like they do Chinese Wedding receptions too (noted by the gaudy Dragon and Phoenix stage in the back). The food comes out in large portions. My food was not overly spiced and salty so this makes a good choice for anyone that is looking for a healthy meal. The veggie dishes were VERY good, the bok choy was very fresh and flavorful. The place is not glamorous, nor is it a high end place for night out on the town. But if you want decently priced, good authentic Hong Kong Food with your family, this is a great place to go. read more

If I could give this place 2.5 Stars, that's what I'd give it. My friends really love this place, but I wasn't really that impressed. The food was good, but not better than any of the stuff that you're going to get in Chinatown. Also, they cover the tables in white trash bags. Now, I know it's to keep the tablecloths clean, but why??? They're tablecloths! It's like the equivalent of putting a plastic cover on your couch. Plus your plates and cups are sliding all around, it's pretty tacky (tacky like, not cute tacky but just regular tacky). The servers were rude, they had some sort of chip of their shoulder. Again, the only redeeming quality of this place is the food, because if you live on the North side, Chinatown can be a haul. Otherwise, I'd say go to Chinatown and have a better experience if you can handle the drive. read more

Came here late during the week as everything else on Argyle was closed. Ordered: ong choy with shrimp paste (they brought us spinach instead because there was no ong choy left), salt & pepper squid, and chow fun. The only thing remotely tasty was the chow fun. The spinach had an after taste that I can't quite describe. It made my mouth very dry afterward. The salt & pepper squid was simply not good. If you're stuck in the same predicament, I suggest going to 7 Eleven or something because you will be sorely disappointed to spend money here. Side note: free parking with a permit and the gals were nice. read more

This was my plan b, but a most welcome one - it turned out. I think they are making amends for the parking situation, the first question from the server's mouth was, "did you drive here?". Their tables are wrapped in a prophylactic (sp?), haha, qaint and cute at the same time. I had the pork chow mein, ample portions that did satisfy. I think they have $3.00 Tsing Dow's too. The place is quite spacious, so big parties of are no problem. And yes, very conveniently located off the Lawrence Red Line. "Merry Christmas Mr. Lorry!" read more

Delicious! The salted squid is a must. I wasn't a huge fan of their noodle choices, but the whole chicken was yummers as was the coconut shrimp. All in all, quite delicious and worth a trip. read more

This is my go-to pre-Green Mill dinner spot. Their portions are enormous and delicious. Every time I bring new friends I always suggest that we split an order. It never happens and we always end up with a huge batch of leftovers, which is a great problem to have. Their presentation is artistic for a few dishes. I had the broccoli chicken once and the broccoli was arranged like a bouquet. Last time I had their sweet and sour chicken, which had to easily be 1-2 pounds of chicken strips. Also BYOB friendly. read more

"Shrimp Fried Rice (sfr) / YUMMY - Bathroom / ICKY" 5/2/09 After hearing about the place on "Check Please" a while ago, since I was hungry and in the neighborhood.........I only ordered sfr and I received one (1) package of soy sauce; 1 soy sauce, come on now. The sfr was quite tasty and I'll probably order again, though I didn't care for the green peas in the sfr and also, the egg throughout was visibly a tad burnt... I'm "very critical" when it comes to restaurant bathrooms. Silver Seafood's wasn't the worse but it did give me an icky feeling. The women's bathroom, in my opinion, definitely could use a serious makeover. read more

stopped in here after a show at the aragon because i desperately needed food that wasn't mexican, specifically i was craving eggrolls. knowing nothing about this place we were a bit turned off by the "seafood" endorsement co-mingling with the exterior and upon entering i was tempted to turn and run. The huge tables, bright lights, and sober people did not mix well with my 4 drink show minimum. but we braved it and thank god we did. oh. my. god. delicious! the instant presentation of tea helped me to sober up enough to enjoy: the egg rolls, which were awesome, seafood in basket, and a shrimp dish that the server recommended. seriously there was a massive amount of seafood!! shrimp and scallops galore. we each took at least half home and the next day i counted* and had like 16 huge shrimp left. seriously meals upon meals of yummy seafood goodness. all for less than $30 bucks. *yes, i do that because one needs to know the cost/shrimp ratio apparently read more

I go here often with my family, due to the great food and late hours. I recommend the salt 'n pepper crab and fish maw soup. The wait staff is friendly, and theres usually a couple families hanging around the place. If you want to save on street parking, you can park in the adjoining lot and ask the hostess for a placard you can place on your windshield. read more

We visited Silver Seafood last night, and overall it was an okay place. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Pork Chops, Salt and Pepper Fried Smelt, and the Beef Broccoli Chow Fun. All were good, not the best I've tasted, but good. This is definitely a good Chinese restaurant to visit outside of the Chinatown area. Overall, good food, okay service, good prices. Will definitely go back to try more dishes. read more

For a late night visit all of the food was great. We ordered Salted and Fried calamari, Oysters in Black Bean sauce and House Shrimp stir fry. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Unfortunately food came before the appetizer yet that matters little if a main dish comes out in less than 20 minutes. read more

Gonna have to give this one star because we saw an unsavory six legged thing crawling on the specials board. That was before we ordered and for some reason we didn't leave. I was with my wife and her extended family, probably too hard to move 16 ppl to another restaurant easily I guess. They asked the owner about it, and he said they don't have any. They were just exterminated. So maybe it was just a stray survivor. Don't know, I was pretty grossed out but I still ate anyways cautiously. Food was decent but I don't think I'll ever be back. read more

This place is all about the food! If you are into fine dining, do not come here. But if you want to eat tasty asian, bring your own booze, and do not want to go to Chinatown, this place suits. I recommend the Schezuan String Beans and the Singapore Stir fry Noodle. Also -- There is free parking, when you go inside and ask for a voucher! read more

Great place to eat and for any occasion. The Smelt is to die for yummmmmmmm . We have been to this place at least once a month and have always had great set and food read more
