Dimsum is terrible. Hargow skin is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal and composes 2/3 of the entire dumplings mass. Shrimp filling is "wilted". Egg tart crust was raw...see attached image.Only redeeming food items are the noodle dishes and baked goods (pineapple bun)Customer service is terrible even by chinese restaurant standards. No replacement or resolution for raw eggtart

Very much enjoyed the dim sum at Silver Fountain. It has everything you expect for a dim sum restaurant. Came here twice. Once during the weekend and once during the weekday.Push carts on weekends.Mostly everything we ordered was surprisingly $4.95 or less per dish.Just a wonderful place to go for Dim Sum.Enjoy!

1 hour 30 minutes wait just to sit. 30 minutes wait for a waiter to take order. Seemed understaffed. Food was ok at best nothing great.When food arrived with wrong order still had to accept it and reorder. Had 4 or 5 different waiters come to table throughout the time. 1 took our order for drinks, another brought the wrong drinks 2 Cokes 2 waters, another took order for food, another brought wrong food said doesn't know anything I just bring this to this table. Next another for the check. What a mess. Never once the same person kinda hard to talk to a person that brings the wrong food or drinks that didn't take the order to begin with.Along with the attitude of the employees when asked they gave us the wrong food they complained told us pay and go if we want. We reordered but had to pay for the first wrong order.Id give a better rating for atmosphere it has a nice look to it for what it is. but it's kinda lost with the bad attitudesProbably should have walked out at some point as the whole ordeal took near 4 hours for what I probably could have got at a panda express in 20 minutes. Plus 1 hour to drive there and after waiting so long was hard to just walk away once things got started despite the constant mistakes.
We called in an order for my family. The person on the phone told us to give them 1 hour. I sent my son to pick up the order one hour later. When he arrived, he waited an additional hour to get the food. When he brought the food home, it was cold and bland. I would not recommend it.

Don’t understand the negative reviews - traditional Asian restaurants are more focused on the food quality and have more efficient service (i.e. not “fake polite”). Food is great here, try it out!

The best thing about this place is it's a clean, typical Chinese restaurant atmosphere with your Chinese music playing in the background. Service is not so great. Was told by a waitress to not order a dish (Black Mushroom Chicken) because the cooks were "busy" and it would rake a ling time - looked around the place there are only about 15 customers and most were already eating... We were also told to nit order any more food because we had enough (mind you we were 5 people)... Unbelievable.The appetizers were good but the main dishes all tasted the same or were taste-LESS. Will NOT be going back.

Worst food service, If I can give no stars I would..Found a place I wanted to take my grandfather, the food was cold.. Also the waitress was very rude and had a nasty attitude. She took forever to take our order and only came around to give our plates with an attitude. I tip by service and it was horrible, I gave a 5$ tip and she yelled at us and proceeded to ask for more.. and was showing the receipt to other costumers about how we tipped her so low.. She stated that a mandatory 15% we had to pay when coming into her restaurant.. she literally almost followed us to the door.. never will be coming here again.. she was embarrassing.

We’ve come here twice, first time for regular dinner food and second for dim sum. Both times the food was DELICIOUS and authentic. You can’t beat the price. Yes, service was a little slower than some other places but overall it was reasonable, especially for peak hours. One of the best Chinese food in the DMV.
Nice place to go for
