Silver Palace - South Burlington

My son and I are in the process of visiting every Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County. We always order the same thing.I order a chicken and broccoli combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. My son orders a sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and teriyaki sticks.Silver Palace is ordinarily a sit down restaurant that is presently offering take out only due to Covid restrictions.Price: Absorbently high at 88.24 or .59/oz.Portion: 9.4 lbs between the two meals is 2x+ the average price of a Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County.Pros: Convenient South Burlington location off Williston Rd. Provided soy sauce packets, duck sauce, spicy mustard and several fortune cookies The beef teriyaki quite delicious Chicken Broccoli meal was quite tasty Overall food presentation was excellentCons: Price, Price, Price Long wait time (1.5 hours, Friday evening) during peak hours Don't offer combination meals Didn't include utensils or napkins Didn't have egg rolls, but offered spring rolls instead Although the pork fried rice recipe was cooked with more veggies than we normally see, the rice itself was rather bland and lacked flavor The sesame chicken recipe wasn't tastyImpression: Generally good tasting food costing more than twice the average cost of a typical Chinese takeout in Chittenden County. Convenient location good curb appeal. Overall positive experience giving Silver Palace a 3.5 star rating.

This is one of those restaurants that my mom and dad would have gone to in their hay day when it was new. Now, the furniture and ambiance hasn't had a facelift in decades. It's dark, dank and old fashioned in a way that makes you not want to look in the kitchen. We occasionally ordered take out until a particularly unsavory pot sticker order that seemed to have been on a hot table for two days. It's a shame because when fresh they were the only thing I would eat there. Thumbs down after trying several times. Avoid when possible.

Country chicken my favorite. Clean and good quality.

Well I’m not sure yet.. good quality of food.. pad Thai wasn’t spicy enough. The boneless ribs where like I got them from blue bird BBQ. Not saying I don’t like it.. I guess I’m gonna have to try it one more time.

My favorite Chinese (or Asian Fusion) restaurant in the Burlington area.
