Best Chinese food in the state of Florida by far. Hot and sour soup a must not spicy just delicious and best fried rice you ever tasted. Beef chow fun also the best I ever tasted and I grew up going to Chinatown NY once a week.

I started eating at Silver Pond back in 1993. Had hundreds of meals there. Knew the original owner. It sold pre covid and original chefs left. Wasnt the same quality after that. Decided to give it another try. The food was actually good. Will come back.

They are alive again. The authentic Cantonese dishes are back. Food comes out fresh and delicious.

Service was excellent for dim sum. The sweet and sour soup for 10 of us was served hot, and excellent strong taste. The hot chicken type soup was watery. Especially good was the steamed dumpling shrimp. Parking excellent

We had a really great dinner here. They seem to be traditional Cantonese cuisine. Their soups are large shareable bowls. Entree were very good as well. We had cantonese wonton soup with shrimp & pork wontons & greens, chicken & corn soup which has an egg drop base, imperial duck, veggie fried rice & general tso chicken. All was delicious.

I have been coming to Silver Pond for 2 decades. Usually for celebrations and holidays but I definitely see some recent changes for more of a daily dine in. To start, they have started providing dimsum on the weekends. When they first started doing dimsum, they had push carts. On my last visit, I didn't see any push carts. Not sure if it was due to the amount of people dining or if they had removed this. I think their Cantonese / Chinese food is amazing. Makes me feel like I'm in a Chinatown. The menu is setup for family style sharing. I personally enjoy the sizzling steak, shrimp with mayonnaise sauce, and pan fried noodles. They are one of the few Chinese restaurants in South Florida that offer roasted duck. They usually do a killer job with a crispy skin on the duck. This last visit wasn't up to our expectations but our server kindly took it to the back and gave us another. I think service has also greatly improved recently. Their staff is attentive and will change out your plates for a clean plate mid-meal. It's a bit of a drive for my family, but we'll do it for the food here.

I've been coming to Silver Pond for several years for birthdays, Chinese New Year celebration and regular dinners. Food was pretty decent New York Chinatown Cantonese dishes. With an ownership change and addition of dim sum, we had to try. We arrived Sunday at 11 am when it opened. It was pleasantly uncrowded, and restrooms were clean. It was nearly full by noon. There are no dim sum cart ladies. You order from a sheet (no pictures), so hopefully you have an inkling of what "beef stomach" and "chicken feet" are as well as a slew of other items. Unfortunately congee and desserts were all crossed off. We were happy to discover that the dim sum was very good! After going to practically every dim sum restaurant in Greater Fort Lauderdale, this was the freshest and tastiest, and not oily. The dishes come out as the chefs prepare, in no particular order. The food is steaming hot. A few unusual (for FL) dim sum included Crispy Taro Cake which had more than just taro (we all liked the dish), and the Chiu Chow Dumplings which were plump full of tasty minced ingredients. We ordered Chinese Broccoli with garlic, and Salt & Pepper Calamari off the main menu. The calamari was delicious! The waiter who has been there for years was typical no nonsense and efficient. Shockingly for a Chinese/dim sum place, the waitress actually smiled and was friendly. She even gladly took photos for us with our phones! We will be back to try more dim sum and maybe see if their dinners are as good as lunch.
