Silver Seafood Restaurant — neighborhood seafood in Uptown. Feels like it's been there since before the neighborhood changed. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. Group-friendly. Gerald Red Amlih: "The flavors were exquisite, and I particularly enjoyed the perfectly grilled salmon"

“Some of the best time to go is during lunch to get the lunch special”
Chow fun was bland. I like it when the noodles are sautéed a little to get a little crispy.
This is probably one of the more authentic Chinese restaurant in the area but the quality of the food is simply OK.
Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had and I’ve had food poisoning before in college from egg Fu young .

“Some of the best Chinese food in town.”
Some of the best Chinese food in town! Well cooked and prepared. Some of the best time to go is during lunch to get the lunch special. They provide so much food for a very reasonable price. My favorite is usually the beef with Chinese broccoli and white rice! The veggie egg rolls are also so delicious! They also give you this sauce to go with the rolls that’s so good too. Customer service is very polite and fast with serving. Atmosphere is very relaxing and pretty quiet. If you’re looking to grab some good Chinese food then this is definitely the spot to check out!

“Silver Seafood gives off a distinctly old-school Cantonese vibe with a traditional banquet hall tucked in the back.”
Silver Seafood gives off a distinctly old-school Cantonese vibe with a traditional banquet hall tucked in the back. We ordered a mix of seafood and classic dishes - salt & pepper squid, cuttlefish, shrimp with eggs, black bean pork ribs, and garlic watercress. Everything was flavorful, comforting and brought a nice taste of home :)

“A classic hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant in Vietnamese town.”
A classic hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant in Vietnamese town. This place holds many nostalgic memories growing up in Chicago and as a patron of this restaurant for decades, I finally found some time to come back and make a review. Decently cheap Chinese food with delicious and PLENTIFUL options (intimidating amounts). Would recommend bringing large groups of people as the portions are made with family-style sharing in mind. Staple items: salt & pepper smelt, Japanese fried tofu, sweet pork-chop, and duck buns! But there are so much more to choose from and the options pictured above are also very good. Would always come back here when craving Chinese food without the energy to drive all the way down South!

“Huge menu, prompt and efficient service, and really delicious food.”
Huge menu, prompt and efficient service, and really delicious food! My brother and his Vietnamese-American wife love this place, and my first visit made me a believer too. We celebrated a birthday here by getting a whole crab ($45 market price), and a whole bunch more food for nine people. It was delightful to sit around the big table with a Lazy Susan and share the feast. The atmosphere could have benefited from some music or a fountain or something, but the interior looks nice. Plenty of easy parking just north of the building.

I've been here before and love the variety of food. The food is always fresh and the servers are so polite. You can also bring your own alcohol as well.

“I had a fantastic dining experience at Silver Seafood Restaurant.”
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!

“Super nice service and huge menu featuring all your favorite Cantonese dishes.”
Super nice service and huge menu featuring all your favorite Cantonese dishes! I was pleased to see they had a lunch menu with 30+ items that cost less than $10 after tax. I got the beef with rice noodles “gan chao niu he” and it was cooked accordingly- plenty of beef with thick rice noodles stir fried with veggies.
