  • I must disclose I frequent a similar restaurant on the west side so I compare what I had from Silver Dragon to the other place. I kept reading GLOWING reviews from the Arizona Republic about this place and also noticed all the rewards the Arizona Republic awarded this place so I thought I must give it a try. I also note that I may not have tried the dishes that suit me most. Silver Dragon is a small independently owned restaurant that offers Hong Kong Style Food. They offer American Chinese Favorites on one menu and have another menu of Authentic Style Chinese Food. We started with the Buddhist Style Rolls. If I never had them before I'd think they were good. I'm used to them being tasty, crispy, light and not oily. These were stuffed with more vegetables but the tofu skin had a chewy texture that I don't like as much. These had less flavor and also leaked oil. For me they were not as good as I'm used too. The dish that I tried that was a good solid dish was the Yu Fu with Eggplant. The Yu Fu is described as some sort of fish and egg dumpling. It was very fluffy and light and didn't taste like fish at all. This dish had nice flavors that anybody would like. We did some take out to have latter. I've had Fungus and Tofu before so I had an expectation of what it might be like. The Fungus from here looked similar but might have been a different kind as it had a texture to it that was very different. The fungus from Silver Dragon was had a tough thin but almost crunchy kind of texture unlike the delicate soft delicate kind I had before. The soup part was not for me and might be delicious to other people. It was sort of like egg drop mixed with pieces of fish and shrimp with chunks of tofu and the chunks of fungus. We took home the two Filet Mignon Dishes they make. One is called French Style and the Other is called Hong Kong Style. I do note that both dishes gave you LOTS of buttery soft beef. Maybe due to my taste I didn't find either one delicious and to me were really OK at best. The French Style had very little flavor and tasted like weak beef stock. The Hong Kong Style did have more flavor but it was unbalanced and on the sweet side. It's possible that with all the Hype from the Arizona Republic that they were scrambling to feed the new masses of people and may be not have been working on full speed so my exsperience might not be typical. Also my taste may differ from yours. You will certainly get very large portions that contain large amounts of meat here. Worth a try get the Yu Fu!
