Yelp.com Review - by Linda Y.

5.0 of 5 stars. Yes, the major attraction is the bar, but the food's no slouch. It's Chinese-American, no chicken feet here! The bbq pork is juicy and flavorful, the sesame beef is awesome, the soups are always a hit...

4.0 of 5 stars. Don't expect to "get" The Palace if you only go in once or twice. My wife and I started going here about once a week and have come to enjoy chatting with the patrons and family who owns the place....

4.0 of 5 stars. C'mon... Chinese food? It's more than that.... Hey, it's a DIVE BAR! Enjoy the food but enjoy the LOCAL bar patrons... Some play dice games and try to avoid certain other patrons, who can be...

Yelp.com Review - by Insert Z.

1.0 of 5 stars. some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had... it's on par with those chinese/hamburger/pizza places you see slummy neighborhoods, where prostitutes and bums can grab a quick $2 meal.

Very good chinese food by Carolyn M. at InsiderPages

We have eaten in the Silver Palace restaurant many times and have always had a great meal. Portions are generous and the prices are competitive. They offer dining in and take out. The restaurant is very clean...

2.0 of 5 stars. I've been going to Silver Palace for alomst a year now. Every time I go I am less impressed. Perhaps it is that I have switched to take out. The bar always looks like a good time, but I've never...

Yelp.com Review - by Kolya R.

3.0 of 5 stars. Based on the enormous plate of garlic eggplant I got for the lunch special, this is a good place if you want a lot of food which is only average.I suspect that their regular menu offers better food.

Glad We Tried It!

I've lived in the Montclair area for nearly a half-century, but it wasn't till about ten years ago that my family and I tried The Silver Palace Restaurant in Oakland's Montclair district. Before that, I had heard a couple younger people saying that it was disgusting. Fortunately, we tried it and have been fans ever since. The oyster sauce/broccoli beef is great, as is the mu shu pork, fresh pork chow mein, sweet and sour pork or chicken, and the Mongolian beef or lamb DO ask them to go lite on or leave out the hot, red chili peppers in the Mongolian--they'll blow your mouth off). The roast duck is ok. Appetizers a bit disappointing. The Wor Won Ton soup was below par. The Singapore curry chicken or lamb is delish, only again, ask them to go lite on the hot peppers! Other dishes are generally good to excellent, EXCEPT FOR THE SEAFOOD DISHES. STAY AWAY from these!! The seafood is often spoiled. Ugh and peeuww!! Also, I checked the Alameda County (acgov.org) restaurant health inspection results web page, and this eatery has some seriously-disgusting sanitation and food safety violations, as does every other restaurant in Montclair. EERGG! Hey, look on the bright side -- if they remedy these deficiencies, they'll be a real standout!

4.0 of 5 stars. This place has a great chicken dish. I can't remember the name of it, but it comes with 3 kinds of chicken. I go here for this alone.

3.0 of 5 stars. silver palace is nothing extraordinary, but it's not horrific either. it's completely americanized chinese cuisine, which makes it great for takeout. when you're starving and you want something easy...

Yelp.com Review - by Master C.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've come to realize that there is no "real" Chinese food in America. The culinary traditions of China are far to vast to fit into a restaurant that would have mass appeal in the United States...even...

Our neighborhood place

All kinds of dishes, from old reliables to adventurous! It's the old fashioned chinese restaurant with the fish tank. It delivers too, which is really handy. Note this is in Montclair Village, not in Piedmont.

5.0 of 5 stars. Where else can you get good Chinese food that has a a full bar? I have to agree the Mai Tais are goooood. The service is fast and friendly and if you live in the area delivery is an option, but I like...

Yelp.com Review - by Shelly A.

5.0 of 5 stars. The food and service is awesome. The steamed salmon and salt and pepper prawns are the best. Another plus is the full bar, if you like rum you have got to try their Mai Tai.

Yelp.com Review - by Nelle E.

1.0 of 5 stars. You'd think Montclair could have a decent Chinese restaurant, and I seem to remember that 15 years ago, this place was. But now it's pretty awful. The decor is so retro cheesy that it's kind of fun...

Yelp.com Review - by Susan I.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's not spectacular, but I don't think it's horrible either. We get their delivery once a month or so when we're too tired to deal with cooking. It's just fine.

Yelp.com Review - by Patricia H.

1.0 of 5 stars. The worst. I think they drown everything in giant vats of Heinz tomato sauce - or at least it tastes that way. The one dish that is tolerable, if you have to eat here (and why would you want to do...

1.0 of 5 stars. This place has been open for years and I can't understand why. The food tasted like paper dipped in water. Spare yourself. Starve.
