Silver City Restaurant

Food portion is quite large and tastes very good too. Owner is very friendly, but does not speak Mandarin. He speaks mainly Cantonese and English. This restaurant also offers take out. Overall would recommend this pace.

I have not been to this restaurant for years. The last time I was here, I remembered it as a struggling small restaurant that catered to the take-​out crowd that didn’t necessarily care about the authenticity of the Chinese cuisine. After seeing a few good reviews recently and the fact that this is under new ownership, I thought I might give this place another try.
We came on a Wednesday night and the place wasn’t busy as expected for a weeknight. The busiest time saw four of the eight tables occupied, which isn’t bad for a weeknight. The service was friendly and we were looked after quite well. We only have four people with diet restrictions so we weren’t able to order too many dishes or try some of the more unique meat dishes. The food was decent and portions were large except for the ‘Oyster Cake’, that I thought could be thicker. Otherwise everything was food. I will follow up with a more in-​depth review on the food once I get to try other things here on future visits.
PS: if you want to come here for dinner on a weekend, I highly recommend that you call ahead to reserve a table. We tried to come here once but was turned away because all tables were booked.

Came here quite late on a Monday; 45 minutes before posted closing time. Even at that late an hour, they were super accommodating and friendly. The restaurant is small and cozy, perfect for our impromptu meal. I’m often deterred from going to Chinese restaurants as my recognition of Chinese characters aren’t that great. Often times I’m left guessing and hoping that I ordered the correct item off the menu. I had no fear here!
The server greeted us in both English and Cantonese, and actually asked what type of tea we wanted to drink. That rarely happens! Often we are just given jasmine tea without a second look. The menus also have English no them! Just reflecting on their menus gives me joy!
The server was super helpful in helping us pick out dishes, and also telling us what the specials were for the day. I found it extremely helpful that she told us what veggies were available for the day, this helped us to narrow down our choices as well.
As per the server’s recommendation, we got half a honey garlic crispy chicken, house special fried noodles and stir-​fried yu choi with garlic. All the dishes we got were delicious and not swimming with oil: D They came out hot and super quick as well!
We ended our meal with complementary sweet soup (which is another perk some restaurants neglect to provide us). The taro sago was a perfect end to a fabulous meal.
Looking forward to bringing friends and family here in the near future.

They recently change new owner. Good food and service. Very authentic chinese food now. Must try.

Food here is pretty good! The service is very friendly as well! My only wish is that they had interac for their delivery! But other then that we go back often!

We were happy to finally find a restaurant close to where we live that closed at 11pm.
We walked in at around 845pm Fri night. Family run for sure. The kids were running around bored, no customers at all, husband was reading the paper at a table, delivery man was smoking outside the door, the wife was counting the days’ receipts at the till and the older female child was helping her. Not overly friendly by any standards, speaking only when spoken to.
We knew the menu from on line and placed our order. We were told it would be 15 min, took almost a half hour. Brought the food home and we really wanted to like it, it would have saved us a drive to Chinatown when we felt like Asian food.
Dinner for one — the small cup of wonton soup was half full and was pure salt. And we like salt. Inedible. Spring roll, not bad — that and the fortune cookie were the only «passes’ for this meal (I do not like when they give 1 cookie for 2 people as they did! I do not wantgto share my fortune!!!). The fried rice was overcooked and the chicken balls tasted off. We also ordered my fave dish, Singapore Noodles. It was a nice portion and initially tasted OK. After a few bites though, my tummy was turned off by something in it and the whole thing now sits in the fridge about to meet its fate with the garbage can. Hellloooo Pepto!

This was pretty decent western Chinese food. We ordered right around dinner time on a weekday. They quoted us 30 – 45 minutes and it was closer to an hour, but the food was still very hot when it arrived and everything seemed fresh. The ginger beef was really good. There was nothing particularly amazing about the food, but it satisfied the craving.

Just ok… Would take out again but not eat in.

Solid, standard westernized Chinese food. Very friendly staff & the chef will often come out to make sure you understand what you are ordering. They make great ginger beef. My favorite dish from our last visit was the chili sea bass. It was deep fried which I found surprising but it was very good. Oh and it was HOT (not surprising because it was covered in dried chilis). I will definitely be ordering it again!

It was a quiet holiday for us this year, minus the big family get together –I had a hankering for some Chinese. Silver City is close to where I live and never really noticed it till trying to find something open on Christmas Day.
We decided on picking up since it would be quicker and ordered some ginger chicken, chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli, spicy chicken and veg and beef chow fun noodles. They offer a free option if you spend a certain amount but it was a disappointing selection, we opted for stir fried veg.
The place itself was cleaner than most Chinese places but the food was mediocre, the only redeeming dishes were the beef and broccoli and the beef chow fun, the rest were no fun at all! The rice was not fresh and the chicken chunks were dry and bland. The chicken and veg dish was also bland and the chicken tasted off to me; the leftovers of this dish the next day were inedible. The free stir fried veg dish had these disgusting gelatinous chunks throughout which I pray was undiluted cornstarch – ewe!
The kids loved the ginger chicken because they were essentially huge chunks of nuggets breaded beyond recognition and suffocated in the sweet sauce, I was happy to see that most of the chicken meat was white meat, though, and the kids did gobble it up so I give them a plus for that.
Their prices are about the same as most Chinese places but I did find a few of their containers smaller than others so you don’t get the same amount of food for the price.
I probably would give this place another go, since it is close by… but my quest to find authentic, clean, and unambiguous chinese food (not downtown!), continues.

I ordered some take out from Silver City, and the food arrived cold. We only live 5 minutes away, so not too sure how far ahead our food was prepared. The food was also sub-​par. The chicken fried rice had a weird burnt taste to it, and the beef and broccoli wasn’t as good as I was expecting from the other review.

I like the Canadian Chinese food, Ginger Beef Chicken Balls, sweet and sour pork or chicken Fried rice Lemon Chicken ect…
all i have to say is WOW, the food is fresh and it dam good, the Gingerbeef is nice and lightly crispy, the chicken balls HAS CHICKEN in it, not just dough. The take out dinners for 1 – 10 are a great value.

Silver City is your pretty basic Peking and Cantonese cuisine restaurant. Their menu is available for dine-​in, take-​out and free delivery within a five-​km radius on orders over $ 25. See, pretty standard.
What makes this place exceptional is the wonderfully enthusiastic and friendly staff. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by a woman who seems genuinely delighted that you walked into her restaurant. She greets you with a huge smile and a loud, «Helllllo!»
Their menu consists of pretty basic food like, chop suey, different fried rices and an assortment of beef, chicken and vegetable combinations. My favourite has got to be the Beef with Broccoli. I love the sauce that they use and the ingredients seem to be fresh, not like they’ve been sitting around waiting to be used.
Silver City is a great local restaurant! They offer delicious food for a reasonable price, and are sure to put a smile on your face with their kind demeanor and odd yet funny jokes!
