" My friends and I decided to try Silver House for a Sunday lunch. The menu is extensive, offering lots of traditional Cantonese options. I loved the fried eggplants and garlic snow pea leaves. The service could have been better as we waited a bit long for our orders, but it seems like they were fairly busy. The atmosphere is quaint and not overly fancy, which I personally enjoy. Overall, a nice place to savor good food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always a solid choice for authentic Cantonese food. The flavors are consistently great, especially the eggplant hot pot and honey walnut shrimp. The ambiance is a bit rustic, but I prefer that to fancy decor when the food is this good. I'll definitely be coming back more often! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Silver House based on a recommendation. The crab dish was indeed as good as advertised. They have an extensive menu filled with several choices. However, the wait time for food was a bit lengthy which was a shame. The servers seemed working hard but could improve on their speed. All in all, tasty food that would whet anyone’s appetite. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience was quite satisfactory. The food was sundry and represented authentic Cantonese cuisine, which is always a plus. However, I found the service somewhat lethargic. We often had to flag down staff for reservations and refills. The atmosphere felt ordinary, and although I enjoyed the flavors, I left hoping for slightly more attentiveness during my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" This dining experience was remarkable. The food was delicious and felt very authentic; you can taste the care put into every dish. However, the decor is a bit outdated and may deter new visitors, but if they can overlook that, I highly recommend trying the hot pot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went there once with colleagues and it was quite nice. The salt and pepper ribs were really flavorful, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Service could have been quicker, but overall, a pleasant experience that I would recommend for dinner meetings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Silver House was an incredible experience. From their hot and sour soup to the sizzling prawns, every dish was crafted with precise flavors and authentic techniques. I appreciate how the chef maintains the integrity of the dishes, and the staff were inviting. Although slightly tucked away, it's worth the find. " (*Curated Review*)
