Love this place! The food is so good and they give enormous portions for a great price. So happy I found my favorite place for Chinese food. Can’t go wrong with anything you order!! Wish I would have took a picture of my food when I went last night.

This place is so good and they give enormous portions. Best Chinese food place around. It has taken a long time to find a great place and I'm so glad I now found one yay!!

I gave the atmosphere 4 stars simply because this is not a fancy restaurant but it is clean, pleasant, well-lit, and updated inside.We come here for the food! As a foodie who’s eaten my way around the world, I can say that everything I’ve had here is fresh and really tasty. I’m so lucky that Silver Dragon is in my neighborhood! I definitely recommend it!

I'm no super-taster or anything, but I like to think I have a particular appreciation for Chinese food, both authentic and Americanized variants. After recently considering a move to Fair Oaks, we thought we better scope out the local Chinese food choices and Silver Dragon came right up. I'm glad it did! The chow mein was no ordinary noodles, achieving the rare quality where the sauce is just so *flavorful* you really feel like you couldn't just make some noodles at home and achieve the same thing. The pot stickers were the style with very thick (obviously home made) wrappers but they managed to still be flavorful and not taste *too* doughy, even though they aren't my preferred style. The orange chicken, on the other hand, was a style I can heartily recommend (as long as you aren't on a health kick), with a thick coating that manages to be crispy on the outside despite being covered in sauce so sweet and thick it evokes eating literal honey. I took a moment to appreciate the jouney this recipe took to arrive here and wondered "Did someone really just start adding sugar until it seemed sweet enough for silly Americans? Is this what they think of us? Do we deserve this?" I decided we do, and it is awesome. That said, the most interesting thing about Silver Dragon is the sense that woven through their menu there is a personal touch. Now I only ate there once and we ordered 2 appetizers and 2 mains, so this isn't a large number of data points, but no fewer than three times I found myself surprised to detect a hint of plum sauce I didn't expect. I first noticed it in the unique and delicious pot sticker sauce we were served. Then, I found it also on the paper wrapped chicken, which was also quite good and well worth the frustration to unwrap and eat without burning your hands. But perhaps most surprising was to also find it in the orange chicken - It was decidedly orange, but the notes of plum were also unmistakable to me. Maybe I'm just hallucinating from my sugar coma, but after eating here I feel like the chef took me on a journey to plum town, and it is a locale I wish to visit again. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was pretty crowded. We were seated shortly, the service was good, and everyone seemed friendly. The server boxed up our leftovers for us, a nice touch many restaurants don't bother with anymore. I don't want to exaggerate, I wouldn't get on a plane to go to Silver Dragon, but I will definitely be frequenting this establishment if I live in the area!

Was looking for a new Chinese restaurant checked the reviews most were good, unfortunately within a few hours after leaving I had the worst case of food poisoning. The only thing that I ate different from my wife was the hot and sour soup.
