Based on the good reviews I planned to visit this restaurant yesterday. So I drove to this restaurant and parked my car at their parking. As the USPS is very near to this restaurant, I went there to drop a letter quickly and was back soon. I was shocked when I was walking back to this restaurant my car was missing - they got my car towed leaving no trace.. i had a hard time just finding my car.I will never ever visit this restaurant again. Also I would recommend customers to be watchful so that this inconvenience doesn’t happen to them..Parking: Parking is a mess here.They got my car towed within just 5-10 mins while I was dropping a letter in USPS.before going for dinner at this place. They left no note or signs and it was really difficult finding my car. Be very careful when you park your car here.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Silver Seafood Restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting, the staff were friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. From the moment I walked in, I could tell it was going to be a special meal.The menu at Silver Seafood Restaurant offers a wide variety of seafood options, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the ingredients used in each dish. The flavors were exquisite, and I particularly enjoyed the perfectly grilled salmon.The only minor drawback was that there were fewer pictures of the food on the menu. It would have been helpful to see more visuals to get a better idea of what to expect. However, the descriptions were detailed enough to make informed choices.Overall, I highly recommend Silver Seafood Restaurant for its exceptional cuisine and warm ambiance. Don't let the lack of food pictures deter you from trying their delectable dishes!

I remember my family bringing me here when I was growing up. The staff here was always nice to us and even talked to the kids and let us run around. The Chinese food here is also up there with some of the best in Chicago. Honestly the only thing that's holding them back is the location. If they where in Chinatown I could honestly see this restaurant with way more foot traffic. 10/10 will always pay this restaurant a visit when I'm in town.

Everything tasted loaded with MSG. I ordered twice cooked pork and we were given this abomination of a dish with pork pieces, cabbage, zucchini, mushrooms.. THIS was definitely NOT twice cooked pork. I just didn't complain at the time because I started eating it. Lol.We were here several times before and it's been a while but at the time of our visit- there was plenty of fruit flies. We had to shoo them away or cover our food with table napkins because they're notorious on really getting to you food. Upon seating at the table we already noticed 2 insect zapper machines... That was already our sign for the flies come..

This is by far one of our most favorite Chinese food restaurants in all of Chicago!The food is consistently good.Some of our favorites are the Salt and Pepper Squid, Seafood Chow Mein, Beef with Onion, Sweet and Sour Pork Chop, Egg drop soup, and fried rice.Portions are pretty generous.Definitely go here with an appetite.This restaurant is quite a drive for us but for this food is totally worth it.The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the bathrooms.Doesn't seem like they take too much pride in keeping them clean.Stall doesn't even have a lock to ensure privacy when you're in there.Hopefully they address that.Parking: Parking is free in the lot next door but you have to go inside the restaurant first. They will give you a permit to place on your windshield while you eat so your car won't be towed.

Blessed to have had this placeParking: Great addition to this palace!
This restaurant rules. There's a ton of stuff on the menu -- arguably too much -- but if you order actual Cantonese dishes, they'll serve you some excellent food. Chicago does have good Chinese food, but not much of it is on the Northside. Down in Chinatown or Bridgeport or even downtown is another story, but Silver Seafood is some of the most interesting Chinese food north of the Loop. Most of the other half-dozen *good* Chinese places on the Northside are either Sichuanese -- like Chengdu Impression or Lao Sze Chuan -- or barbecue-oriented -- like Sun Wah -- so Silver Seafood fills an important niche: good Chinese food that is neither crazy spicy, super meat heavy, nor reminiscent of a mall food court steam table. (Don't get me wrong--I love love love Sichuanese food and even have a soft spot for objectively mediocre American Chinese food.)A few hints to get you started, because the menu is long and not especially approachable: try a salt-and-pepper seafood dish, something with black bean sauce, or the chow mein or chow fun noodle dishes. The various vegetable dishes seasoned with dried scallops are excellent, as are all the clam dishes I've tried (which they don't always seem to have in stock). Homestyle tofu is a comfort food classic that is just so satisfying on a cold Chicago night. My fave, though, is the preserved sausage with yellow chives. It's a stir fry, where the delicious fermented rendered fat of the air-dried sausages is used to sautée the mild yellow chives. It's a top five dish I've eaten in Chicago, and I've lived here for almost a decade.

I haven't been here in a while, so was excited to go back. Food is good, but they had 2 bug zappers that were making awful zing noises! And at one point, there was a bat crawling on my hand. Ewwww!

A close Chinese restaurant. Didn't expect too much but they have some really interesting dishes.Taro crispy duck: you will like it if you're crazy about Taro. Just waaaaaaaay too much taro for me. The taro: duck meat ratio is like 5:1. Way too dry with this much taro. Would give 5 star if it's 1:1 cause the top and bottom are really crispy and good flavor. Combination fried rice: big portion and has lot of stuff in it. Worth it.Twice cooked pork: this is not real twice cooked pork. It's cabbage with stewed pork. Not even close to the original recipe. More of a white washed American Chinese food style. Shame

Silver SeaFood restaurant is like any other Chinese restaurant. Very extensive menu. But very important information - no alcohol in the menu. You can come with your alcohol. food fresh and good sometimes a bit greasy. Silver seafood worth recommending.
