2 months agoDon't buy the food here. I bought takeout, and the quality of the food, especially the meat, was so gross. I had to throw away almost all of the food I bought. And because communicating with the person at the front of the restaurant was so difficult, I know it would be impossible to get my money back. Even ordering the food was difficult because the language barrier was that intense. Don't buy this restaurant's food. This is probably the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life, and I don't say that lightly.

3 months agoOur whole family has been coming here since they opened more than 30 years ago. It's menu is classic — always delicious. Plus the staff treat you like friends and offer super service. Huge portions so there's always some to take-home. We've never had a lesser experience here in all these decades. A truly home-style, welcoming place with tasty dishes.

5 months agoThis place is the best dim sum restaurant in the area as a NYC born and raised ABC and I’ve tried them all in the area. It’s this one that hits close to home. Iykyk. The spare ribs is just so deliciously tender and that fried taro balls just hits that umami taste that I grew up with. The only thing I don’t recommend is their baos. Service can be kinda slow but hey you work with what you can get in this neighborhood.

6 months agoThe worst restaurant since ownership changed. I don’t expect much when it comes to service at most Chinese restaurants and I’m used to it being Asian and eating in these place my whole life but this place sets a new low. They’re rude, slow, and don’t give a damn about the customer. Nobody brings you water unless you ask and then you have to find the water pitcher on your own for refills. We waited an hour for a dish that never came. Nobody cared to check on our order. I won’t be back.

2 years agoThe place was packed! We had a table for 9 and sat 11, as two were lap babies. We ordered about 11 dishes and all were fantastic. I had the baby in my lap so couldn't take photos of everything. But recommend the crab, anything with shrimp in it and the pork bun. Will be back.

2 years agoWe know that authentic dim sum restaurants are not known for good service. In fact its well known that the ruder the service, the better the food among dim sum circles. However there is a tipping point in this theory, and we finally reached it today. We patiently waited for over 30 minutes at our table with no food carts in sight, no water, no tea, nothing except garbage carts flying by. We just sat there and considered getting up and leaving on 16 June Father's Day 2024. We had to get up and ask for water at least 5 times, from one of the servers who always succeededin failing to bring us water, tea, or even call a food cart lady over. When I brought the issue to the attention of management, The Boss Lady in the green shirt was completely unapologetic with her "sorry(not sorry)". We highly suspect that they ran out of food. The dim sum was mushy, not the best but tolerable. Char siu bao meat wasnt great quality, while the bun was good, it was soggy from being oversteamed. The Shrimp Har Gau was decent, but wasn't enjoyable because we had no water to drink with it. The Pork Hash wasn't bad, but oversalted and other places do it better. The Jin dui was almost pure mochi and had little, if any bean paste. They were also the smallest Jin Dui I've yet seen without being micro Jin Dui. We won't be coming back given other choices in the area. The below pic of a plate and no water was my view for 30 minutes while we just sat there. However, when it came time for them to collect their money, they were quick to do that.

2 years agoVery 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!

5 years agoDim sum dishes are delicious as always. We have been come here for dim sum for over 20 years. However, it seems like they are short of staffs today. When we asked for adding hot water to our tea pot the service person said that she doesn’t have time to do it. We didn’t get angry but we felt so funny. We still paid 20% tips just for supporting the business. Hopefully they hire more staffs and improve the service.
