    The dim sum was really good overall. We had some dishes we preferred over others but nothing was bad. The service was a little challenging because we were there at the shift change but overall it was good. I'm really glad we went at a time when it wasn't busy.

    Make sure they’re on your top list to visit for dimsum restaurant if you’re craving for dimsum! They have wonderful selection of good dimsum, like steamed shrimp dumplings (hargaw), steamed meat dumplings (siumai), BBQ pork bun, steamed shrimps and chives dumplings, steamed spare ribs with black beans sauce, steamed rice noodle rolls with shrimps, steamed chicken feet, deep fried taro with meat fillings, sticky rice with meat filings wrapped in lotus leaves, preserved egg porridge, deep fried squids, fried turnip cake. They also have hot carts filled with hot dimsum that wandering around the restaurant offering what they have inside cart. It’s interesting while you picked on the food, everything looks delicious in there! The service was good, especially if you speak Cantonese or Chinese but if you don’t some of the servers speak very well English. We always visit for dimsum, but they’re ala carte lunch menu looks good and promising too, maybe we’ll stop by for lunch or dinner sometime, but in the meantime, their dimsum always attractive for us!

    Solid dim sum, you've just got to come first thing. Food comes quickly and fresh, the cart servers aren't super pushy, and the cost is great. Everything was pretty tasty and totally worth the trip.

    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!

    This place is one of the few places that offers authentic Cantonese food in the area. Been here for decades. Solid food offerings, sometimes slow due to the volume of people, but it's worth it. They do offer Americanized Chinese food, but don't get it. They also have good dim sum

    Dim 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.

    This 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.

    The 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.
