Food is ok , but check for hair and other items in you plates, I just went yesterday and found a piece of hair in my plate, Ain't coming back for sure, sorry and also very hard to understand, I think, no habla Ingles đ đ đ€đ€
Ok it wonât look like much from the outside on ECR and from the rear you park in the alleyway lot and walk past the restrooms and the kitchen but⊠this place is the bomb. And the chefs are top notch. I feel bad not having good photos except for one dish which came on mini wok with a burner and a dipping sauce. Thatâs a special lamb dish with vegetables mushrooms and goji berries. They made some unique and delicious food. The staff knows the menu very well and can recommend and they have chef specials on the back of the menu. One set for Chinese and one set for American palette. Both are good and you canât go wrong. On the wall they post their specials also. For a IYKYK tip - if you bring in your catch they can make it the way you want and charge you âcook-your-catchâ fees.

Excellent Chinese food! Service is so-so. The main staff member who assisted our party of 10 was kind of rude but the other staff member was great. The food was really good, I must say. I was lucky to find parking right in front but I believe there is some kind of parking not too far away. I would definitely come back!
My first time here and the server , the lady in the front desk seemed to be always in a rush especially when taking our order. We ordered salted fish fried rice, that was good. Roast chicken -also good, jelly fish - okay, kaylan with oyster sauce - good, but the crystal scallops we ordered looked so different from the photo in their menu booklet. It looked more like chop suey and the taste was bland. I called the attention of the same lady who took our order and she seemed to avoid me , so had to approach her and tell her about our scallop order. At first she said it was the same as in the photo, but when we got the bill , my daughter also complained about the dish and the lady said that the next time we order that dish we should mention to lessen the vegetables and add more scallops! Ridiculous! Oh by the way we also ordered the salt and pepper shrimp which they added pumpkin which was good but the menu didnt seem like it had pumpkin for this dish because it wasnt mentioned, maybe they just added pumpkin to lessem the shrimps.
After having an amazing whole fried fish at another Chinese restaurant, I have been looking for the same dish at a nearby restaurant. This one met my expectations. Our mapo tofu and curry mixed veggies were good too. The only item that needed improvement was the white rice which was lumpy and too soft.
Food was delicious đ I gave it a 2 because my Kung po chicken was in much needed of more chicken. All I could taste was chestnuts, zucchini, bell peppers and sauce. Flavor was there tho... I'll still be a regular here, best chinese spot.
Very friendly staff. Their entrée suggestions were very tasty and were prepared very quickly.
Authentic and delicious Chinese food
Good Chinese authentic food. However, they need renovation.

If you want delicious Chinese food from a place thatâs been in business for decades, this is the place you go.
Itâs not fancy and some of the employees arenât super friendly but some are, and the prices are affordable and the food tasty.
Youâll be happy you came!

Food is excellent. Service is good. Atmosphere is ok. Averages out to 3.5 to 4 stars, which anyone knows is the sweet spot for your local Chinese restaurant.

We have been going to Silver House for more than 20+ years. The restaurant recently went through some rennovations and it's much cleaner and nicer. The Cantonese food is authentic, I like the Singaporean Rice Noodle the best and other dishes (like bitter melon with beef, seafood pot, Chinese Green, Tofu dishes are great as well. The waiter and waitness are courteous so it make the meal so much nicer.
