Silver Crystal Restaurant

This is a delicious Chinese restaurant if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food and dim sum. They do speak and understand English so it’s easy to order. You won’t find carts here for dim sum but a menu to choose from. They have a nice variety that they offer and all of it is good! We got a lot of different food and also chose some things from their regular menu.

The Chinese broccoli with Chinese bacon was really good! There was also some Chinese sausage in it too that was delicious! The walnut shrimp was good! The XO chili sauce with longevity noodle was really good but not very spicy at all. There didn’t seem to be much chili sauce at all but the noodles themselves were good! We ordered a lot of dim sum. Some of our absolute favorites are soup dumplings (steamed juicy dumpling), rice noodle with shrimp, pan fried dumplings, steamed bbq pork bun, crispy chicken wings, fried spring rolls, steamed shrimp dumpling, stuffed eggplant and stuffed pepper. I usually also order sticky rice but I forgot.

The kids liked the red bean buns and said they loved the “chocolate” inside although it’s the red bean. Lol

We also had the fried shrimp roll, fried scallion pancake, pan fried rice noodle, fried mashed taro dumpling, steamed shrimp ball & steamed beef meat ball which were all good!

We did order a large rice to go with our meal too!

They do serve alcohol so some got beer while we were there. I got the Chee Chee which was pretty much a pina coloda which was good!

Overall a great place to try some authentic Chinese food!

Food is fresh and delicious. Traditional and Americanized Chinese food. Dim sum is excellent. Friendly staff in a casual atmosphere.

As soon as you walk in, the staff greets you and are very friendly. It was maybe a ten minute wait for the food to come to us after it being ordered. I ordered the L29 and my husband ordered the L30. Portion sizes are perfect. The pork fried rice is amazingly flavored. The chicken fingers, chicken wings, and egg rolls have a nice crunch and are not overwhelmed with grease. The beef teriyaki is so tender, it melts in your mouth. We are definitely going to come back here again.
(In the photo, I already ate half of what was given to us.)

This the first time I came here. We celebrating Chinese new year. I really enjoyed the food. And the service is really good

The best Chinese restaurant I have found anywhere, including NYC or Boston. I love their food and have almost never been disappointed. It's not fancy, but I don't care. They are reasonable too. They have the best dim sum I have ever eaten, including fancy places in Boston or NYC, and the prices are so much better than those places.

Literally the best Dim Sum I have had throughout the United States. I highly recommend getting the juicy dumplings and pan fried dumplings. The noodles with Beef Brisket are excellent as well. I highly recommend to let your dumplings cool a bit first, they are fresh from the steamer or pan.

Best Chinese food. Vanessa was a excellent waitress.

We've been dining here once every couple of weeks for 5 years!

They serve the most authentic Cantonese dishes including dim sum in all of RI. They also serve Americanized Chinese cuisine. They have two menus, one is authentic Cantonese food and the other is Americanized Chinese food. Ask for the Chinese menu (which also has English in it) if you want authentic Cantonese food.

I love that food quality is always high and consistent. The same family has owned the restaurant for a very long time.

Delicious, fresh, authentic dim sum. Loved every bite. The pea pod greens with garlic sauce and the juicy dumplings were my favorites. The service was so friendly and helpful. Would go back often!!

Dim sum without the wait and hassle of parking in Quincy or driving to Boston. Excellent quality and friendly service. My son, who is picky, loves the fried shrimp rolls. I love the noodles so much I usually order 2 different kinds so I have enough to bring home. There is plenty on the menu to choose from. I almost want to keep them a secret, because if too many people find out, there may be a line out the door.

Great dim sum. So glad to have found a spot in RI that serves tasty dim sum, saves me the trip to Boston!

The food was great, the staff was super polite and nice. The wait time was minimal and the service was awesome. Highly recommend this place for anyone in RI that wants to my some dim sum!

Been going for years, and they always remember me when I go in. The service, needless to say, is awesome, and the food is great. Dim sum menu is really good and their normal menu is also well rounded with lots of options. Highly recommend!

I LOVE this place. Since I discovered this place around 4/5 years ago, this place has been my go to for delicious Chinese food. Service is always good and the owner and their family are always around making it very family friendly. Most traditional and delicious food I have ever eaten (look to the "special menu" for it!) in RI. I used to joke about going on a "silver crystal diet" because I can never get enough of it. :) haha

This restaurant is excellent! Both the dim sum and the americanized food were prepared very well. The scallion pancake was spectacular. The orange and general Tso's chicken were crispy under the sauce and tasted very fresh. Frankly, it's the best general Tso's chicken I've eaten. Prices are also reasonable. Highly recommended!

Dim Sum offered every day! So delicious! Room full of Asians is a good sign and reflective of the restaurant's authenticity. So happy to have found this place ❤

On top of attentive and friendly service. The food here is authentic and excellent. We were here for vacation from Boston. I was surprised that the dim sum here is competible (even better than many famous restaurants in Boston) Will definitely come back again.

Excellent food and service. We ordered the Poo Poo platter and pad thai noodles with vegetables. Both were better than any other Asian restaurants we've ever been to. Crab rangoon was generously sized and filled. Teriyaki was tender not overcooked and leathery. Chicken was also tender and not smothered in sauce. The entire platter was done very well with the only exception being the fried wontons which were comparable to other restaurants. We absolutely loved the pad thai with veggies! It had the right amount of spicing and the flavor was great.

Next time we go there we will have to try the dim sum food. We did not know about it and after all the accolades on this review site its certainly on our radar to try it.

Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to outside of highly populated Chinese areas (Chinatown, Hong Kong, China, etc). The food never disappoints, is always hot and tasty, and the prices are very reasonable.

They have three different menus (that I know about): the typical Americanized Chinese food menu, with beef teriyaki, sweet and sour, etc, the dim sum menu, which is very small, it packs some of the best finger food that is authentic yes can imagine, and finally, the authentic menu, or I believe they call it their special menu.

I will be honest and say that I have never eaten anything from the normal menu. My wife has ordered the hot and sour soup from it, and my mother has had their beef teriyaki, but that is about it. So I cannot attest to the quality of the food from it, but it appears to be extremely popular, as I see the same people in there all the time ordering.

The dim sum menu is small, doesn’t have many options like a traditional dim sum restaurant would offer, but instead, they offer the best things that most people order when they go for the full experience elsewhere. I might be able to sustain myself just off their juicy dumplings, they are so good. My wife always orders the chicken feet, and she never leaves any left. We also order the bbq pork bun, stuffed eggplant, and the steamed pork dumplings on a regular basis. We have also ordered the congee on occasion, and for the price you pay, you get a good amount.

The authentic menu is nothing fancy to look at, it’s just a list on both sides of a laminated piece of paper, that has the name in Chinese and English, with a price. This is where I always order my food from. It tastes just like the food I would eat when I lived in Hong Kong and China. If you love Chinese food, you might want to take a chance and order from the authentic menu instead of the Americanized menu, it is a bit different than what you probably eat normally, it is always worth it to try new things.

I usually order the beef fried rice, because that is what I ate everyday at university in Hong Kong, since it was cheap for me and very filling. It reminds me of times when I was younger. I also really enjoy the pork and mixed vegetables with chow foon. My wife has had some of the seafood soups, and she always enjoyed them, as well as the salted fish fried rice.

When you order from the authentic menu it will take longer to cook than what you are used to for Chinese food. I’ve seen people come in 10 minutes after me order food, and get their food 5 minutes before me. To someone who doesn’t know, it may seem like they cooked the other food before yours, but just know that it takes longer to cook authentic food.

Easily the best dim sum in Rhode Island. No point driving up to Quincy or Boston. Get the century egg and pork congee — you won’t regret it! We have dim sum from Silver Crystal like every two or three weeks easily.

One of the few places in RI that serve dim sum. It's a hidden gem.
If you're wondering whether or not real Chinese people go here to eat, I can assure you that they do. This has authentic Cantonese food.
