Food never disappoints. Been dining here for years. So glad it survived the pandemic!! Some staff have retired but one gentleman still works there and remembers us!! He has such a good attitude, always service with a smile. Love the daily soup du jour!! My sister loves their hot and sour soup, but you must be a fan of this dish to appreciate it.

San Mateo staple! Been coming here since I was in high school and hasn't changed one bit. Sweet and sour pork and chicken, honey walnut prawns, Hong Kong style chow mein -- your typical Chinese restaurant items. You will not leave disappointed. Service is also typical for any Chinese restaurant. Be back soon :)

Our family goes here every occasion- birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, you name it! They have delicious food and service is fast! Their staff has been there forever and has they're all kind! When food is cooked, even the kitchen people would not hesitate to bring them to customer's table. Their ambiance is like you're one of the old restaurants in China town. Haven't been to China, so this is the closest I can compare them to. Their cost per plate is reasonable. Averaging $25/p.p. Can't beat that!

I've had this craving for some old fashion beef chow fun with gravy for about a month. My Uncle Joe indulged me and allowed me to take him to lunch there; the Silver House restaurant recommended to me by a friend in the area. We ordered the chow fun, garlic sautéed pea leaf, and salt and pepper chicken wings. You know that taste when you get to eat exactly what you craved? That was our meal. The food was delicious in that comfort food non-fufu way (no California cuisine here). I wish I would always know exactly what I wanted to eat. This was definitely the taste on my palate. Like watching your favorite athlete or sports team dominate, this meal was just right and very satisfying . The waiter was also very good and attentive; he had that I think I know and trust you demeanor. The hometown ambiance of the restaurant was also perfect. Thank you Silver House! You are my go to place in San Mateo! Gene Y.

I've been coming here since I was a kid so every time I eat here the smell and food brings back memories. Food still taste the same as compared to when I was younger so no complaints from me.

I have been eating at Silver house for decades and quality is always consistently good . Hard to find parking at peak hours and you don't come here for ambiance . But the food is always delicious and quantity is large . Try to order their specials which are posted on the walls !

This used to be one of the best Cantonese cooking in the area. For months now, the food tastes off. Yesterday, they used tilapia for the fish fillet even though they call it Sea Bass. It was so under-salted that even I (who likes less salt) added more flavor to it. I asked if the chefs changed, and the front desk did not tell the truth. I still like their food, but much less than before.

Been coming here for over 20 years. No soup today and they no longer have the dessert but we always enjoy the food. We love all the salt and pepper items, chicken wings, tofu, and fish. All of these are super good and had to get multiple orders of each for 11 people. Steamed tofu we had to order by showing a picture but we get 2 orders. Was here on a weeknight so it wasn't too busy and we were able to sit and talk for awhile.

Pretty standard legit Cantonese joint. Very old school and not the prettiest or fanciest place, but who cares if the food's pretty legit. Lots of options and good selection. Got the following (not all pictured) 1. Walnut shrimp: alright, standard, this is always good right. Not that generous for the portion though. I've had way better walnut shrimp elsewhere 2. Pea shoots with garlic: can't go wrong with this. Standard and pretty good 3. Seafood clay pot: came with fried oysters (not the freshest and a bit gloopy with the coating). Also came with some tofu and cabbage. Standard and pretty good. 4. Steamed catfish: standard canto steamed fish. Catfish can get a bit muddy tasting in some parts. Not the best steamed fish I've had but alright. Overall, everything here was pretty standard and legit. Not the best Cantonese food you'll have but it's decent and can't really go wrong.
