Glad to have found a new go-to spot for Chinese Food in the Bay. For context, this is my first time visiting this place. After a bad experience at a different spot years ago, my family and I gave up on finding good Chinese food out here (originally from the east coast, IYKYK). I decided today "why not give another place a try" and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Broccoli with Prawns. I didn't realize until I got there, that this entree doesn't come with Rice. However, Simon came from out the kitchen and graciously hooked me up with some on the house since it was my first time. We love wonderful customer service over here!! The food itself was pretty tasty! For next time, I'll probably request some brown sauce on top to give it that east coast vibe but overall delicious!! - Mrs. Arizona United States 2024 read more

Silver Spoon Gourmet Cuisine - Broccoli and Prawns Side of Steamed Rice - Chinese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Decided to try this place again since our go to in Chinese restaurant in Castro valley closed down. Sadly, quality and quantity seem to have gone down. We ordered the braised filet fish with mushrooms and quality was majorly lacking. This is the first time our fish has tasted like it was frozen and then reheated. It had that defrosted spongy texture and the outer texture was soggy. Did not at all taste fresh. The portions have also majorly decreased and mushrooms were cut thinly and sparse. Also ordered the seafood chow mein and literally had to try to fish for ingredients which were lacking...two shrimps, two small fish, 1-2 scallops, two squids. Not sure what's going on here but hope that there are improvements in the future. Otherwise, staff is friendly read more

Potstickers and customer service are thee only reason im giving 3 stars. Pork fried rice 2/5 Chicken skewers 1/5 Chicken chow mein 2/5 Location has fairly good parking, inside needs updating pretty badly. Service is friendly and A+ for effort read more

This place is a hit and miss. Services are nice for dine in or togo and folks are friendly here. We have dined in and togo many times but the quality of the food and taste consistency varies each time. I ordered their orange peel beef, sometimes it is over fried and really crispy that you can't taste any meat left and sometimes it is way too soggy that I ended up throwing away as it is not worthy of eating. I ordered the shredded pork with chili pepper and sometimes it is proportionate with meat and other ingredients, while other times it is barely enough meat and all green peppers and onions. The inconsistencies really sucks because you don't know if that is a ok or good or bad meal. Anyway, after many times of trying due to convenience, I think it is time to explore other options. One more thing is that I am overcharge for an item here and there while their menu price is $1 less and noticed on my receipt later on. read more

We came here years ago and apparently, I didn't get a chance to do a review! We needed to find a place that was centrally located to our extended family members, where there was parking and near our daughter's bakery so we decided to meet here for a Chinese New Year luncheon. Parking is ample and there are spaces in the back of the restaurant as well. Everyone got a chance to order one of their favorite dishes and we had an assortment of food which were all tasty and delish! I especially liked the crispy fried chicken wings and sweet and sour pork spareribs! It was great to see our relatives and a enjoy a delicious lunch together! Simon, the owner and Andy, our server were attentive and friendly! read more

This is a great choice here in town. Tasty dishes and good service. The flavors are robust and the food is prepared fresh.

(3.5 out of 5) My favorite thing here I forgot to take a picture of. I really suggest you ask for the soy wasabi type sauce they have the goes over the rice. We got Japanese style rice. Super good with this sauce. The general Tso chicken. Very good as well! Everything else wasn't necessarily the best. I do suggest coming here though. I'll be back just for the rice dishes. I definitely wanna try other dishes. So I'll be back! Service was very good! And ambiance is also super nice. I love the classy aesthetic And when you come tell them Rothyy sent you read more

I wish I can give this place more then just 5 stars! The owner Simon is very nice. When you get sat down and order a waiting for food and drinks takes a normal amount of time. Food here is amazing! This place has been my to go spot for over 12 years! I totally recommend read more

I ordered two of the pork and onion wontons, which is featured on their website and I got two orders of just their wonton so their website needs to be updated because I didn't get what I wanted. I wanted fried wontons with pork and onion. Everything else with my order was excellent but this was bullshit. read more

Totally haphazardly ran into this place, as we were trying to go to the Cajun restaurant next door, but they were closed on a Monday. We were ready to hop back into our vehicles and head out to plan B as we just got done playing golf and we were all starving. Then a strong waft of wok cooking caught my senses and I started looking around. And lo and behold, this Chinese restaurant was right in front of us, but you can't really tell as it is just in a basic strip storefront. Hong Kong Iced Coffee ($3.75/4*) I was sold this as I've never had one. I've had milk teas hot and cold up the yin yang, but never thought of Hong Kong as having a rep for coffee. It was quite good, like a much lighter version of Vietnamese Iced coffee. Quite milky, a tad sweet from condensed milk is my guess. And the coffee had a strong roast flavor similar to Viet coffee just not as thick or dense, this had regular coffee viscosity. This went surprisingly well with the food here, as I've never really had Iced coffee with Cantonese food before. XO Seafood Fried Rice ($13/4.5*) I'd say perfectly fried rice, fluffy texture with each grain being separate versus sticky clumps. Great wok flavor with that smoking oil flavor that I just love. The only knock for me, is that I didn't really get a big hit of the XO in the bites. If it were there, then it is really on the mild side. Kung Pao Chicken ($14.25/3.5*) I let my friends each pick a dish, as when I pick the menu, then I tend to get the same things. This way I may get to try a dish that either I've never had or haven't had in a long time. This was the latter for me. Chicken was perfectly cooked, super tender and tasty. No shortage of peanuts, which is appropriate and the veggies were a bit heavy on the bell pepper. The sauce was like a lighter version of sweet n' sour, which doesn't excite me, but at least it wasn't gloopy thick here, which is to be commended. I didn't love this dish but I also didn't hate it. Spinach with Garlic ($11.50/4.5*) I'd say perfectly executed, nice and vibrant whole leaves and stems of chinese spinach, blanched til just barely done/wilted and served with a scant of a light soy sauce on the bottom. I prefer a bit more of a browned garlic flavor, as the garlic here had a blanched/boiled texture. Rock Cod with Mushrooms cooked in Consommé ($15.50/5*) Very well balanced and well composed dish. Crunch from the bell peppers and onions, nice meaty chunks of mushroooms and even meatier chunks of rock fish. The sauce was a slightly thickened broth so nothing got smothered in a thick sauce. The sauce was like a see through veil, very classy. The kitchen here has some skills, better than most. I can just tell that they'd be able to rock out my faves at a high level. And the service is very western in that the host is quite chatty and would probably get to know his regulars. A very rewarding yet serendipitous outing. Pleasantly pleased. read more

I was looking forward to eating at Silver Spoon as I hadn't been back since before the COVID pandemic. We ordered fried chicken wings, Peking spare ribs, honey walnut prawns, beef stew in clay pot, black mushrooms with American broccoli, and tomato beef chow mein with thin (Hong Kong style) noodles. Overall, the food was good with the exception of 2 dishes. The black mushroom and American broccoli dish had very little flavor. It needed more salt. Then, on the other hand, the tomato beef chow mein was so salty...all you tasted was salt. Normally, there is supposed to be a sweetness to it. I eventually told the waitress that I never had any dish that was as salty as their tomato beef dish. It was really bad...don't let the picture fool you. We came to the conclusion that the chef must have added more salt thinking he was adding the sugar. She apologized for that but never offered to remove that dish from the bill or provide any other compensation. I had also asked the waiter if he could take a photo of us. This was when our food was still hot and not all eaten up. He had a dirty dish in his hand and said he wanted to bring it back to the kitchen first. He came back out, took orders, cleared tables, and more but didn't come back to take our picture. After waiting for over 20 minutes, I finally asked the waitress to take our picture. Most of our food was already eaten up by that time. The waiter finally came back to take our photo just before we were going to leave. I told him the waitress already took our photo. I definitely was not happy with that waiter. I would have given this place 3 stars but lowered it to 2 stars as I was totally not happy with them and am not planning to go back to their restaurant. read more

I've been coming to Silver Spoon pretty much since I moved to Castro Valley. It's become my spot for both grabbing a quick bite to go and sitting down for a meal. Parking is pretty straightforward since they share a lot with the restaurant next door and have a few extra spots out back. The place has a nice waiting area where you can hang out if you're picking up an order. Simon, the guy who usually runs the front, has offered a drink if your order's taking a bit longer, from time to time. Inside, the dining room's got a nice vibe and sometimes, there's even live music, which is a cool touch. What's neat about this place is that they actually serve soup to your table, which is a nice change from the serve-yourself style I see most places. It's also got a bit of an upscale feel with white tablecloths, which isn't something you see a lot in Castro Valley. You've got to check out their clay pot dishes. Whether it's the beef or the seafood, they're both fantastic and have me coming back again and again. Big fan. read more

Delicious! And made without MSG! Ordered MuShu Pork, egg flower soup, tomato beef chow fun, salt and pepper fish. Simon asked us if we wanted extra peppers in our salt and pepper fish and I told him we were trying to avoid to much salt so he limited the salt on all our food. And it all came out perfectly seasoned for us! Simon was very attentive and made sure everything was good. Our favorite Chinese restaurant! Can't wait to come back! read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is always delicious and the staff are great! Everything I've ordered has been so good and doesn't disappoint. The food is fresh, flavorful and such a gem! Highly recommend stopping in! I'm used to getting good Chinese food all over SF and this is my go-to when I'm in the east bay. They have a small parking lot, too so it's great for indoor and takeout. read more

Not only is the customer service amazing but the food is fresh and delicious!! I did a phone order for pick up but came in little early so my food was not ready yet. I was greeted right away and while i waited for my food they brought me fresh hot tea. Had small talk with the staff, and they are genuinely really nice people. Ordered a lunch plate of beef w/ snow peas and fried rice and an order of won ton soup. The beef was perfect flavor and snow peas were cooked perfect where it still had a nice crunch. The fried rice was delicious and I like that there is no meat in it. The won ton soup was perfect! The broth was hot and flavorful and I like how they put mushrooms and zucchini in the broth. This is now my go to Chinese spot when I come to Castro Valley! read more

I am certain I posted a review when my friend and I first came over a month ago but not sure what happened. Anyway, mentioned this spot to family who LOVES Chinese food. We came on Friday (1/13/23) and everyone fell in love. We ordered the wor wonton (fam RAVED and said the broth alone is DELICIOUS) garlic noodles extra garlic ($2) - I don't like that but whatever, flounder which I of course did not try, fried ribs which seemed to get mixed reviews but were eaten (lol) couldn't decide so shrimp fried rice (bro-in-law), ginger fried rice (mom) and xo fried rice (sis) ALL WERE ENJOYED but Sis said she overate on the xo because of the Awesome flavor, high heat string beans - the first order was bomb and in my opinion not hot but the second order seemed to be made a little different as some members commented they were hot but I didn't have any of the second batch, two orders of fried chicken wings which friend, bro-in-law and niece tore up on. I believe there was something else ordered but the overall consensus from the fam was to definitely return as they were ALL pleased which was music to our ears. 1/15/23: Came back with friend and ordered fried chicken wings- can't imagine him coming here NOT ordering the wings, xo fried rice and some special shrimp entree our Awesome server Andy recommended which was stir fried shrimp w/scallions and onions. Quite tasty and that paired VERY WELL with the rice. Like for real, put the shrimp on top of the rice and stop playing. We will be back and I can only hope to get Andy. He is super pleasant, totally LOVES what he is doing and it shows in his conversation and service. Not sure what you want, let Andy give you some recommendations. He knows the menu inside and out. Thank you again Andy, you know we'll be back read more

Silver Spoon Gourmet Cuisine - Black pepper beef, it was only 8 beef for $20 - Chinese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Went here for take out. The food was on the edge of "okay". There are many Chinese take out spots in CV/hayward I'd much rather get take out. The Hong Kong style chow mein we ordered felt a little bland. They gave us the noddles and the sauce base with the veggies and protein they provided with the noodles was about half as much as we get from other places. We ordered the pork ribs as well. It was more bone than meat, and it tasted so bland. Would not recommend ordering this. The rest of the food was okay. Nothing extraordinary. The issue is the price of it. It was about 15-20 each entree. That is quite pricey for just "okay" food. read more

The food is good. But the service is slow. Ordered catering a week in advanced. Came to pick up and still had to wait an hour for the food. I mean what's the point of advanced notice? Ambiance is relaxing but nothing special. read more

Very sad to hear that the lease was not renewed. This is so heartbreaking, it was a wonderful restaurant and Simon truly is such a sweet wonderful person. The place was clean, nice and spacious, and the food was amazing! I will miss their fried salt n pepper eggplant. I don't understand why this happened, but Simon if you are reading this; please do not give up and if you do re-open at a new location you still have your customer here. I wish you all the best, and thank you for always providing the best service. read more

From the minute you walk in you treated to a wonderful experience. The ambiance is so relaxing, clean, mood lighting and friendly staff. Our server Simon was amazing.

The food was made to order and completely authentic. This place is now my "go to" spot. read more

Food and service is ALWAYS good. I've been coming back for years. Amazing go-to Chinese spot.

This restaurant posts INACCURATE PRICES on their website. Silverspoon's website links to a menu (both by clicking on "menu" or on "order online") that shows prices that are outright LIES. I found this business online and because they were so inexpensive (or so I thought!) ordered four lunch specials. According to the menu on their website, this should have cost $31.00, but when I picked up the order, I was charged $49!!! I believe this is DISHONEST and UNETHICAL. Silverspoon Management, please don't lie. Update your online menu to your actual prices. read more

I have eaten at Silver Spoon a number of times and enjoyed the food. The reason for the 3-star review is because they have a handwritten note in a green sharpie pen on the door providing shortened restaurant hours. (Tacky and Unprofessional)These hours are different from the website and nothing indicates a change of hours on the site. For a restaurant that has such good food and to not manage their website, is unprofessional and inexcusable, lackadaisical and tacky. read more

Good consistent chinese food is hard to come by these days .... And I say that because this is my second time eating from SSGC ... literally days apart at that .... My first time getting food everything was good the fried rice /SS pork /General Tso chicken hella good , hot too !! Freshly cooked !! .... Man listen yall !!! Today I ordered the exact same food !! When I say this food is nasty I mean it !! The fried rice has 0 zero flavor !! Wasn't hot at all kinda just warm ... THE GENERAL TSO CHICKEN , has like a ROTTEN MEAT taste as you chew it up , soon as I started chewing the meat up I knew something wasn't right !! No meat should taste ROTTEN/Spoiled ...the SS pork is okay ... but honestly overall I WILL NOT BE A RETURNING CUSTOMER .... I'm big on consistency and this was a definitely HELL NO !! read more

Silver Spoon is our "go to" local Chinese restaurant. Every dish we've tried has been fresh, hot and delicious. We typically order their salt and pepper wings, BBQ pork fried rice, beef chow fun with black bean sauce (dry) and then mix in their honey walnut prawns, kung pao chicken, chicken in spicy garlic sauce or Mongolian beef. Their won ton and hot and sour soups are great. Their service is excellent and the staff there knows us as we are regulars. I highly recommend Silver Spoon! read more

One of the many Chinese options available in Castro Valley. Slightly small front parking lot but they have overflow parking in the back. I come here regularly and will probably come here a lot more given the food is cheaper than Hong Kong bbq and pretty much the same quality. Recently ordered the beef fried rice and curry beef stew. The beef stew was super tender, soft, and flavorful. Great service and ambiance. read more
