Master Critic Review
Silver Seafood Restaurant
8.3
A big-menu Cantonese seafood room that’s built for group ordering—whole fish, shellfish, and sizzling plates that land best when you commit to a shared-table spread. The cooking leans traditional and volume-ready, so the win is picking a few house specialties and letting the Lazy Susan do the work.
Must-Try Dishes:
Salt-and-pepper shrimp, Whole crab (market price), Steamed whole fish with ginger-scallion

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on nearby Uptown side streets; availability varies and can be tight during peak dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual — everyday clothes are fine; no need to dress up.
Noise level: Lively and loud, especially with full dining room and large tables; conversation is easy within your group but not quiet.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation when busy; larger groups may wait longer.
Weekday lunch: Typically little to no wait, except during peak hours with tour or family groups.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple vegetable stir-fries, tofu dishes, and rice/noodle options, though seafood dominates the menu.
Vegan options: Limited — a few vegetable and tofu dishes can work if ordered without oyster sauce; best to ask the server.
Gluten-free options: Possible with modifications — steamed seafood, plain rice, and select stir-fries; soy-sauce-heavy dishes are harder to adapt.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a quiet, intimate first date — it’s loud and built for sharing — but great if you already know each other and want a fun, communal meal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially on weekdays or with a smaller group, but expect waits on weekends and during peak dinner hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — families are common, portions are generous, and there’s plenty of familiar dishes for kids, though it can feel busy and loud.
Best For
Better for: Large-group Cantonese seafood ordering, whole fish and shellfish dishes, and classic preparations meant for sharing.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, solo dining, or modern/creative Chinese cooking rather than traditional banquet-style dishes.
