Silver House

Silver House is a Chinese restaurant in San Mateo, California.

Silver House gives a shared Chinese dinner a straightforward starting point with its family-meal combinations. Soup, appetizers, main dishes, and fried rice come together in different sets, so a table can explore several parts of the menu at once. We like that approach for a meal where everyone wants a little of everything. The San Mateo restaurant's selection includes sweet-and-sour pork, cashew chicken, beef with broccoli, and spicy kung pao chicken. Other combinations feature sautéed scallops or chicken with ginger and scallion, offering alternatives to the familiar standards. Pot stickers, stuffed bean curd, and crispy fried squid broaden the appetizer choices. Soups range from wonton to seafood with tofu and beef prepared in the West Lake style. Silver House's appeal is this balance of recognizable Chinese favorites and additional seafood, soup, and appetizer options for a varied table.
