1st time here…. My other place is closed today… I found Kirin very good. Shrimp wonton soup was 1st class…. BBQ pork buns were fantastic!!!!! House shrimp dumplings were yummy and so good… portions are good and if you in the area, give it a try.. they have Dim Sum menu as well…. Was tying to talk with owner but she was very busy with other customers… I wanted to tell her about my experience…

I leave very few reviews, but felt compelled to write this because a lot of people wrote this place off, and I get why. This restaurant was Silver Pond for decades, a legit Cantonese spot that I used to drive 30–45 minutes from Boca/Palm Beach to eat at. When it changed ownership and became Kirin about a year ago, the menu fell apart. Many of the classic dishes disappeared, the ones that stayed were unrecognizable, and quality and service fell off the cliff. At some point this year, Kirin was taken over again by another local Chinese restaurant. They kept the name, but the food is completely different now, and honestly better than the old Silver Pond in a lot of cases. Some of the original Silver Pond waiters are even back. The place has been cleaned up and the fish tanks are finally clean again! We had the following dishes: • Fried pork intestine – Used to be a small, often quite funky appetizer at Silver Pond. Now it’s a full entrée with bigger, meatier pieces, super crispy, lightly stir-fried with onions, green pepper, and scallion instead of being drenched in sweet sauce. I actually prefer this version. • Chicken wings – Only ordered because someone in our group was less adventurous. Huge mistake (in a good way). Perfectly crispy, insanely juicy, some of the best wings I’ve had anywhere. • Roasted duck (half) – Crispy skin, juicy meat, tasted exactly how I remember it from the old Silver Pond days. • Hong Kong pork chops – The standout. Thicker, crispier, juicier, fewer bones, and better sauced than the original. Worth the trip just for these. • Whole Dungeness crab with garlic – As good as I’ve had in any big Chinese food city. No grease, just clean garlic and sweet crab. • Garlic eggplant hotpot – Same silky texture as before but with a little more heat. Served bubbling in cast iron. Outstanding. • Sichuan beef & vegetable stir fry – The opposite of greasy takeout. Minimal oil, vegetables still have bite, and the beef was perfectly velveted. If you skipped Kirin because of the first owners,  or if you just miss Silver Pond, I'd urge you to give them another shot. Much of the good food that I remember is back, and in some cases, better than it ever was.

The food is very delicious and fresh! We had orange chicken, spicy salt n pepper squid, and Japanese egg tofu with carrots and mushrooms this time! We also drank hot oolong tea. The ambiance was amazing and peaceful! We had an awesome time. The restaurant was immaculate great lighting and the service was awesome. The staff is very sweet and friendly and professional! We highly recommend this restaurant especially if you want to eat yummy and savory Authentic Chinese and Hong Kong food!

It's now called Kiran Restaurant. New owner Jeff is from New York and you can tell from the first bite of his delicious food. Cantonese style at it's best. Cool Retro Chinese restaurant decor, bright and spotlessly clean Please give them a try and say Gary sent you

Best dim sum restaurant in Broward! A true hidden gem for authentic Cantonese cuisine! The brunch dim sum was incredibly authentic, with each piece perfectly crafted! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates authentic Cantonese dim sum and traditional flavors!

Jessica McKenzie

Best authentic Chinese food I’ve eaten since Philadelphia’s Tai Lake. This is not the average Americanized Chinese garbage from most take out spots, this is the real deal. The owner was a gracious host who took great pride in serving his customers. We will be back… all the time!

Very kind and welcoming from the minute we walked in the door and throughout the entire meal. The food was fresh and delicious. The man and woman working were very attentive and helpful. What a amazing restaurant. Definitely will be coming here again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kirin Restaurant has breathed new life into what was once Silver Pond—same great location, but now with fresh management, a new look, and a rejuvenated vibe. The updated interior is clean and inviting, with a modern touch that still honors the charm of its past. The menu has remained largely the same, which is a huge win for longtime fans. I tried the Singapore Rice Noodles, and they were absolutely off the charts—perfectly spiced, loaded with flavor, and cooked to perfection. You can tell the new team here is focused on maintaining the classics while elevating the overall experience. If you loved Silver Pond or are simply looking for authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine in the area, Kirin is a must-visit. I took a few pics while I was there—check them out, and be sure to follow for more food finds across South Florida!

Haven't been here since they became Kirin, and found their food and service to be excellent. Had been going to Silver Pond for many years and always enjoyed it as that. Now I will look forward to Kirin being my go to Chinese restaurant. They accommodated all our requests. 👏👏👏 Bravo!!

In October 2024, twelve of us went to the newly reopened Kirin Restaurant in Lauderdale Lakes for dinner. The restaurant was clean, bright, and spacious, making it an ideal venue for banquets and wedding receptions. They serve traditional Cantonese cuisine and offer dim sum cart service during lunchtime. Since we had a large group, we ordered double portions of everything. The Crab and Fish Soup was fresh and delicious, and the classic Kirin Stir Fry was so flavorful that it was perfect with rice. The Ginger Scallion Lobster was also excellent. My personal favorite was the Crispy Pork Intestine with Pickled Vegetables, which was incredibly tasty. The Grilled Oysters, which were huge and paired with a delicious sauce, were a hit with everyone. There were many other dishes, and two friends particularly enjoyed the Stir-Fried Lotus with Soybean Sauce, as it's a flavor not commonly found here. The Hong Kong Style Pork Chops were crispy with a sweet sauce, and they were very tasty. We all found the food to be very delicious, and the owner was very friendly. We heard that there will soon be karaoke available, so we highly recommend this place for group gatherings and enjoying great food.

Delicious and expansive menu with something for everyone. Tried the pork pan fried noodles, chicken/beef bird’s next, and a bean curd/sautéed veggies dish in this first visit. The bird’s nest was such a fun dish. It was a beautifully flavored mixture of chicken, pork, and greens in an edible bowl made from fried potato and taro. Really loved the play of textures and flavors. The pan fried noodles and mixed vegetable side were also excellent. Huge servings and perfectly tender bites. The restaurant itself is nice, plenty of seating and definitely a family-style menu. One dish alone is likely plenty for two people to share, so plan accordingly! The whole plaza exterior is currently under construction, but don’t let that turn you away! Silver Pond is very much open. Excited to try their dim sum in the future.

I used to live in Philly so I’m spoiled with many good authentic Chinese Restaurants. So I was in shocked coming down here in South Florida because the food sucks here. I live in West Palm and every weekend I take a drive with my family in search of good Chinese Food, as far as Orlando but nothing… Finally my wife found this place, I was very skeptical at first. As soon as I came in, I was greeted by a nice lady, she showed me to a table on the left corner of the restaurant but the boss Jeff Ma directed us to a bigger table because of our group size. He then came over and answered all our questions and explained pretty everything was in the menu. I don’t just order regular food like typical Orange chicken or things like that. I usually order frogs, Squids, Jelly Fish, eels… which requires skills to cook them. And OMG did they deliver, the food was delicious, a tear came out of my eye when the food touches my pallet, exactly the same as Tai Lake Restaurant in Philly, if you know you know!!!! The owner Jeff Ma is a down to earth guy, very professional and friendly. Normally restaurant owners, especially chinese are not that close and nice to their customers. This guy is awesome!!! He even gave me his number so when my favorite seafood Lake Shrimps become available, he will call me!!! Please give this restaurant a try if you want to taste authentic good chinese food!! you will not disappoint!!!

Great Dim Sum meal with the family. The pineapple custard buns and the fried shrimp balls were our favorite. Oh, and the snow pea tips too 😊. Very attentive staff.

Tien Lowe

Wow, the dim sum at this place is excellent. I haven’t been here since it changed from the old Silver Pond but I have to say this is equivalent to some great spots in Hong Kong. The selection is good, all the usual faves. Of note is the beef with fat noodles and steamed shrimp dumplings. If Leo is there, ask him about the oolong tea, very smooth! I ordered a few dishes to try and had plenty to take home for dinner. My meal could have served three.

Sorry food in pic is more than halfway eaten. Place is full, but they tell you straight up the wait for food. Figured I could wait less in a not so good restaurant or wait longer for good food. The latter won of course and was well worth it. Pan fried flounder still the best, the chicken with black bean is good as well. Hong Kong chicken is great and fish casserole is a must. Oh BTW, you guys have to get the pan fried noodle, absolutely amazing:)

I used to come here when I was in elementary school. Nothing has changed. Great food, fast service, and decently priced. We ordered the following: Beef satay Beef with Chinese broccoli Salt tasted jumbo shrimp Peking pork Half peking crispy duck Fresh tilapia steamed with ginger and scallions Lobster salt and pepper Lobster ginger and scallions Chicken fried rice Snow pea tips garlic Fish maw and crab meat soup I'm not sure if I got it all but here goes nothing. To start, hot tea. Loose leaves. Great for each meal. Beef satay, good. Nice tender beef and lots of green bell peppers. It was good but not favorite. 3/5 Beef with Chinese broccoli, chunks of beef. The Chinese broccoli still had a bite to it. Great mild flavor, perfect with rice. 4/5 Salt toasted jumbo shrimp is delicious. Head on with shell is the way to go. Perfect amount of saltiness and has a bit of heat from the jalepenos. 4/5 Peking pork is like a general tso chicken but with pork chops and a bit more tanginess. I wish it was more crispy but good flavor. 4/5 Peking duck is good too. Not too much of an odor. You get a hoison sauce paired with it. Crispy and moist at the same time. Duck is nicely cooked. Missing bao buns or something like that. 4/5 Steamed tilapia was steamed perfectly. Sauce went well with white rice or any rice. Great flavor. Not too salty. The meat was flakey and you know it's fresh from the flavors. 4/5 Lobster salt and pepper was good. Fried nicely. Good amount of salt And pepper. Juicy and not dry Lobster ginger and scallions was my favorite from the two. So flavorful 5/5 Chicken fried rice was good. Any typical Chinese restaurant will have this. 4/5 Snow pea tips garlic was cooked nicely. Had a good bite. Good flavor. Enough garlic 4/5 Fish maw with crab is my favorite soup. Brings back memories so it might be a nolstagic thing. Huge portion because we had a party of 11 and we still had leftovers. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Clean plates and silverware. They provide everything you need and get unused plates out of the way for your comfort. The tables have the center piece that spins. Makes it easily accessible to reach for foods.

My recent visit to FLL presented the perfect chance to revisit a restaurant that had formerly impressed me with its truly exceptional duck dish. Yet, I found that the venue had transformed, embracing growth through changes in ownership, menu updates, revitalized decor, and potential staff revitalization. While the duck's quality may have wavered, I remain appreciative for the chance to recapture the essence of this beloved location, which treasures a multitude of heartwarming memories.

Walking into silver pond you’re instantly transported from the hood outside to china inside. What a refreshing change of scenery! The staff is warm, inviting and funny. Fresh lobster! Big koi that are not for sale. And a very full menu of authentic food. Will absolutely come back. Pro tip- sit at a lazy Susan.

Decided to go for dim sum with my family who was visiting from NY (this is a regular weekend outing that I do when I’m home with them) and Silver Pond was the closest to my house and had raving reviews. I was surprised to see this place so empty for a Saturday morning but I will assume yum cha isn’t a big thing here in FL. I can testify that the food is about as good as NY’s dim sum but the only thing is that they seem to have less options compared to home. Regardless, we all enjoyed the good and will come back to visit soon.

This used to be "Silver Pond" and is now under new ownership from the same family that owned Golden Marquis in Pembroke Pines. Unfortunately they do not have a liquor license so you will have to BYOB. We had a wonderful dinner starting with wonton soup with noodles and also a chicken corn soup. Both soups came out hot and delicious. For appetizers we had pork spare ribs, spring rolls and an order of clams with black beans sauce. My son's really enjoyed the ribs with a thick BBQ sauce and the adults enjoyed the clams with black beans sauce next time I will ask them to make it spicier. Main entrees were shrimp and broccoli with ginger sauce, Beef chow fun, House special fried rice and kung pao chicken. All dishes were served hot and fresh. We really enjoyed the meal and will be back again.

The BEST Chinese food in south Florida! Very authentic Cantonese dishes: fresh ingredients, tender meats and nice flavors. Food is on par with good ones in NYC Chinatown. Service is reliable although there can be a line on weekend evenings. If you are looking for spicy Sichuan food then this is not for you.

Wonderful dinner ; started with my favorite hot and sour soup, with flavorful chicken w black bean sauce. 2 chefs in the kitchen, one from the old Silver Pond, the other from NYC. Great and attentive service. Best Chinese food in the area.

First visit to this restaurant, celebrating a relatives birthday. Sunday lunch and the place is packed. We waited for a few minutes for the foods. As soon as one food is served another one follow. The food all taste good. So much food was ordered that we can not finish in our table. I recommended this Chinese restaurant for you to try.

My first time trying dim sum at all with some friends from Fujian Province.

The whole mood and the atmosphere with the amazing food and service was spectacular. Will be coming again!

Our favorite place for Dimsum. It was hard to find a very good Chinese food in West Palm beach and we don’t want to drive any farther than here. Our selections came out hot and tasty. It satisfied our needs. We left there happy and full.

Absolutely authentic dim sum, fair pricing, and good portions. Husband and I were visiting and found this on google maps. I sent our food photos to my parents and they were impressed. When we’re back in the area, we will try their other foods. Love this place. The servers were friendly and polite. Food came out relatively fast considering they had to steam/fry everything. All the food is fresh.

The service was amazing ,the waitresses were quick on serving the food, and checked on us multiple times. The food was very well made, tasted great, and a really filling portion. The atmosphere was very clean and hospitable, they also had a big sized fish tank with koi and goldfish, stunning. Ten out of ten, would recommend and come again. Mints and fortune cookies were also given on the way out.

Hidden gem that reminds me of China town. From the outside, you may just consider this a basic Chinese restaurant, but that is far from reality. Inside awaits a classic family style restaurant that offers extremely fresh seafood, classic dishes, and white glove service. Come with a group, order and share everything! There is something for everyone here. We started with the hot and sour soup, which was boiling hot and loaded with ingredient that melt in your mouth. Seafood fried rolls come out in 10x pieces and feature mussels; paired with fresh sweet and sour sauce. My favorite is the pan-fried noodles, which you can order 3x different ways. We opted for seafood again, which included scallops, large shrimp, calamari, and bite size fillets of white fish. The velvety lobster sauce coats the seafood and veggies generously, allowing the bottom noodles to soak the juices and the top noodles to remain crispy. Cho, was our sever and was friendly, knowledgeable and an extension of the restaurant. Total class and white glove service.

We came from Northern California where we really enjoyed good Cantonese foods for years, we were spoiled! !!! We have been looking for good Cantonese foods and finally have found Kirin who serves authentic Cantonese cuisine. We dine at Kirin 2 to 3 times a week. Their dim sum dishes are freshly steamed n fresh, their pastries are also very good. We have found the best roast duck and the foods have really good wok aroma. The vegetables dishes are excellent. Their services are good the place is nice n cleaned.

I travel to Hong Kong often for business and have dined at countless restaurants in Kowloon and Hong Kong. Kirin Restaurant is the closest I’ve found to truly authentic Chinese cuisine. Every meal is outstanding—delicious, flavorful, and reminiscent of Hong Kong. The food, ambiance, service, and quality are consistently excellent. This is my go-to spot for the BEST CHINESE CUISINE.

Many people say there isnt good Chinese food in South Florida. Well then they have not been to Kirin. This place is the real deal. I have been to China many times and this place reminds me of being in a restaurant in China. The food is outstanding. No one can top their soups, and main dishes. All the shrimp dishes have large, fresh shrimp. The pork is outstanding. The place is top notch food and service. Best in all of South FL.

Great news Silver Pond lovers. The old Kirin which took over is gone and the New Kirin is in. The menu is 35% of the old dishes from the Silver Pond and even some waiters are back. We ordered the dishes from the Silver Pond menu, just to compare apples to apples. 1) Pork intestines. (Hey, the Shabath was over, why not!? 🙂 ) We liked them more than Silver Pond, still crispy, but with a tasty sauce! 2) Peking Pork chops with sweet red sauce. More succulent and just impeccable. 3) Crispy fried duck. As good as what I cook, we didn't leave a single piece on the plate. 4) Orange beef. Same story, we devoured it all. 5) Garlic and ginger whole crab. Was gone rather fast. 6) Sizzling eggplant (no meat) As good as Silver Pond. We asked for the dessert menu. Nothing...but... Jeff, the new owner, brought us BBQ stuffed buns, they were so good, I begged to give us some to go, and he obliged. (no charge) I am in Heaven, I went to old Kirin only once with ZERO desire of going back, the revitalized old Silver Pond is my salvation, as we haven't been to the Chinese restaurant in 7 months. In the words of "Blue Brothers", The band is back together!

Formerly known as The Silver Pond, we've been coming here since we moved here three years ago. The new owners have done some renovations, the place looks even better than it did before. The food is still excellent with a great selection of offerings. All skillfully prepared and presented. My Asian inlaws loved it when they visited! And now, for all of you Dom Sum lovers like us, they have returned to having cart service!! It's always more enjoyable to be able to just choose from the cart for dim sum! Had our traditional Chinese food for Christmas holiday dinner! (I'm Jewish and Chi is Bhuddist) So we usually go out. A definite recommendation!!

I had the most wonderful roast pork egg foo yung I have ever had the sauce was so savory And the pork fried rice was very tasty. The quality of the food was undeniable. I can't wait to try more of their delicious dishes. You will always be in for a delight. A very friendly and accommodating experience.

Kirin (in the old Silver Pond location) is a great place to continue getting traditional Cantonese cuisine. We went here for Dim Sum and were pleasantly surprised with the spread and flavors! If you like Durian, you HAVE to get the Durian Puffs, as they are out of this world, and very rare to find! The lava egg buns were cooked to perfection, being creamy and sweet inside, not overcooked. The flavors are light and tasty, not being as heavy or greasy as other dim sum locations. Overall, if you’re in the Lauderdale Lakes area, Kirin is a fantastic place for some Cantonese cuisine!

Primera vez aquí… Mi restaurante habitual está cerrado hoy… Kirin me pareció muy bueno. La sopa wonton de camarones estaba exquisita… ¡Los bollos de cerdo a la barbacoa estaban fantásticos! Las empanadillas de camarones de la casa estaban deliciosas… Las porciones son generosas y si estás por la zona, te recomiendo que lo pruebes… También tienen menú de dim sum… Intenté hablar con la dueña, pero estaba muy ocupada con otros clientes… Quería contarle mi experiencia…

Service was great as one of the owners kept checking up on us and serving the food. Dishes enjoyed were orange beef, Cantonese roast duck, pork chops, lobster with ginger and scallion!!!! Would come back for a feast!! 🙌🏼

Went here on a Tuesday for dinner with my bro. We were seated right away. The staff is very friendly and eager to explain the menu. This feel like Authentic Chinese Cuisine. I'm not an expert, but I think more Cantonese style. The food was beyond DELICIOUS. I shall return.

Food is excellent! Our Waiter was rude though. Otherwise I would've given this place 5 stars.

I went for lunch had a bowl of shrimp soup dumpling, delicious, and dim sum shrimp and eggplant. Give this place a try you won’t be disappointed really authentic Chinese food owner at the cashier should be more friendly.

Food was very good, authentic Chinese Service was also very good. Female waitress Atmosphere was ok but outdated and the carpet really needs to be removed. Overall a delicious experience.

Very authentic Cantonese cuisine. Love the steamed fish (清蒸瀧鲤),and the chicken (白斩鸡)is 赛欧tender。The owner is super nice. Will definitely come back and enjoy next Thanksgiving!

We usually go for dim sum. No carts which is better because food comes fresh from kitchen and is nice and hot. Excellent quality and taste. Good selection. We like Kirin better than Ten Ten which has the carts and most dishes that are sitting for a while are luke warm or cold. Good size portions and reasonable prices. Partner is Chinese and we have tried many places in South Florida and Boston. Kirin ranks high for our taste. Most customers are Asian which is always a good sign as to authenticity and taste.

My family and I had been coming here for well over a decade. We’ve been through two previous owners — sad to say this one just doesn’t fill the previous’ shoes at all. The renovations are nice, sure. But what kept this place packed every day of the week (that the restaurant was open) that it was open was the food. We gave it a chance. Came when it first reopened after the renovation was finished and the ownership changed — it was nothing like it was before. I had sent back dishes because the squid tasted rancid. We tried again a second time thinking there might be some improvement and although there was a slight improvement, it was still nothing like the quality of food we had at Silver Pond. The older rave reviews are undoubtedly about Silver Pond— not Kirin. I only hope the new owner learns a thing or two from the previous owners and chefs. Don’t skimp on the quality of your proteins or portions.

This maybe the worst Chinese restaurant in the area! It got a new name under new owner. It used to call Silverpond. I hardly give a very low review to a so-called authentice Chinese restaurant because the chefs can produce some OK dishes. This one is different! The servers don't know how and what to serve. The so-called chefs don't know how to cook. The portions are small but they charge you a premium price. On a Saturday evening at peak dinner time, there was only a few tables and we were one of the unfortunate ones. Another worst part is that they charge you a so-called tea fee of $1 each person. Who give you the confidence to charge the tea fee when your business is very low and the tea is not even good? I want the Chinese restaurants to be successful so we have a place to eat authentic Chinese food in South Florida. However, this restaurant's busines tactics and the capability of the chefs are all WRONG! Spend your hard earned money elsewhere and AVOID this restaurant!

Was there Christmas Day. Had a reservation but they had very little staff. Ordered food after1/2 hour and everyone else got food but me. When I mentioned it another half hour went buy. Everyone finished eating but me. I decided to cancel the order. The owner came out apologizing but the still didn’t feed me. He took it off our bill but by that time, after 2 hours, I would rather have peanut butter. I won’t return. Our waiter was very nice but the rest of them thought by giving a free meal it would make up for the terrible service.

It's used to be a good food and good restaurant before. It was packed. Now it is gone down. I think because the service is very bad and the food is not the same. Last visit, I ordered spinach with garlic sauce. It was really bad quality. There is only one thing I still love. That is Hong Kong duck, so amazing favor. The waiter seems like to be sleepy. No energy. He threw the silverware on the table. I don't like that. Beware of the cleanliness.

J
Jessica Shin

Overrated food, don't believe all the hype for this over-priced sub-par cuisine. I really wanted to like the place because the menu was different with interesting ingredients. The sea cucumber in oyster sauce was flat, thin sauce where the flavor doesn't penetrate into the sea cucumber. The seafood and tofu casserole was overcooked, where the gigantic pieces of squid, shrimp, scallop, and conch were rubbery, although the tofu was the only highlight. The salt baked shrimp used big shrimp, but totally under-seasoned. We also had a rude waiter who was an angry gentleman just tossing the plates on the table that he didn't even apologize when tge sauce spilled all over the table. We asked hin why he was so angry as he was packing up the leftovers and he just contined to grumble. We will never come back to this place and if you want Cantonese style food, I suggest King Palace in North Miami or Hong Konv Wok n Grill in Jupiter.

Ordered 4 Lb Loster in Lobster Sauuce for $128. What was served was a bowl with old, tough flavorless pieces of lobster most of which had no meat. It was a mixture from many small lobsters no more than 2 lbs. Restaurant was totally empty as it was the day before when we stopped in to see menu. Don’t waste your money as it is no longer the old Silver Pond.

We decided to celebrate my father's birthday with a dinner at Kirin. As a family, whenever we have had big events, silver pond was our go to restaurant we loved dearly. We havent been back since the ownership and name change but we decided to take the plunge, mainly to see if we should rule this place in or out of our regular rotation of restaurants. When we walked in, the restaurant was literally empty and we were their first dinner table and remained so for a good hour before 2 or 3 tables started trickling in. I remember silver pond always being a packed house. Our server asked if we wanted tea and we ordered the flowers tea which we later found out they charge $9 dollars for it. We ordered snow pea leaves ×2, whole duck, mapo tofu ×2, beef stew, cashew shrimp, beef chow fun, salt and pepper pork chops and lobster. ALL of the dishes were SUPER BLAND like they forgot salt existed. We ended up pouring soy sauce and hot sauce over everything just to give it some sort of flavor. The most disappointing dish was the whole duck. They literally pieced together bits and peices of random duck which consisted mostly of back bones. There were literally no thick breast peices to be found anywhere and missing a leg. My husband is a chef so he knew that they were being deceitful. We even questioned it to our server to which she answered that she knows its a whole duck pieces because of the plate they served it in. Smh. Overall, this restaurant is a hard pass for us and we vowed never to come back here again. We left regretting our choice to cancel our reservation at a different Chinese restaurant to come here. It was a expensive mistake on our part...the one we will never make again.

I was a regular customer when this place was silver pond, and their food was fabulous! This restaurant did NOT meet my expectations. There was a hair in my food, and the food was horrible! I wasted my money. I will never go back here ever again! I miss silver pond so much!!!!

Really bad. I call for a pick up order. There almost nothing can order, I ask 10 items, they only have 2. That's crazy. They give me the total on the phone, but when I pick up mu food they change the new total. The upgrade all the price when I pick up the food. But they just give me a total in phone, and changing price when pick the order??? If they change the price they should give us a call back, but they didn't. The charge a dollar more for each item. There price is very expensive. The food is so so. The server is bad. No more order that this restaurant.

Damion Chung

Place changed name/owner service was horrible I ordered online. When arrived at restaurant, they were unable to locate my order they had to contact a company in Illinois. Took an hour to get my phone after I arrived for an order I placed ahead. Made thing i wanted they didnt have. So company in Illinois called to tell me and refunded me. There's a disconnect with online ordering and the restaurant

Randy Neugroschel

Very busy, we were told it would be slow and they were out of a bunch of basics, 2 hours later they apologized that most of what we ordered was not available. Shame on you for making us sit for hours without a morsel of food. Spent my whole life in food business and Never experienced anything like this. No apology no let us make it up to you.

Horrible customer service ! Had a reservation Christmas night and arrived 10 minutes early. Restaurant wasn't even 1/3rd full and each waiter was only attending 2 tables each. There were only 2 people waiting for take out when we arrived, and they were still there 45 minutes later, still waiting when we left, and clearly upset at the wait. The staff was moving like a bunch of snails in a heroin coma. Then the owner/manager came out of the kitchen with a cart and exited the front door, but stopped to ask 3 people that just walked in if they need a table. I said we had been waiting over 30 minutes and had a reservation 20 minutes ago, and he said ok. He returned through the front door with the cart full of food, instead of properly through the backdoor, which was very unprofessional wheeling it through the dining room, and was never seen again. After 45 minutes, we finally had enough and walked out. Never tried the food because we were never seated and offered any, but glad as the kitchen was probably filthier than the dining room. It's no wonder this place has changed hands as there is a high rate of turnover and closure of Asian restaurants in South Florida. They clearly don't know what they are doing, and don't need our business, and probably don't need yours either. With customer service like this, they probably won't be around long. I won't be back

As Chinese customers, we were really looking forward to celebrating Chinese New Year at an authentic Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, this restaurant was extremely disappointing. First, the pricing was unreasonable and not transparent. The steamed fish cost $95, which was shocking. We were never informed of the price in advance, and the server did not mention it when we ordered. For a dish like steamed fish, customers should be clearly told the price beforehand. As a result, we spend more than $400 for the whole meal. Second, the wait time was unacceptable. We arrived at 2:00 PM and did not leave until almost 5:00 PM. The food came out extremely slowly. On top of that, about three of the dishes we ordered were only reported as unavailable after we had already waited for about 30 minutes, forcing us to change our order last minute. This shows poor kitchen management and lack of preparation. What made the experience worse was the apparent unequal service. Several tables (white people) who arrived after us received their dishes before we did. This happened multiple times. It was especially noticeable that Cantonese-speaking customers were served before us, even though we ordered earlier in Mandarin. Whether intentional or not, this created a very uncomfortable and unfair dining experience. In the end, our Chinese New Year lunch turned into dinner because of the excessive delays. The portion sizes were small compared to the high prices, making the overall value extremely poor. We left feeling disappointed and frustrated. For a holiday that is supposed to be joyful and meaningful, this experience seriously affected our mood. We cannot recommend this restaurant.

# Silver Pond Restaurant: Un Viaje Culinario a la Auténtica Cocina Cantonesa en Lauderdale Lakes

En el vibrante y multicultural corazón del sur de Florida, la ciudad de Lauderdale Lakes se erige como un crisol de culturas, sabores y experiencias. Dentro de este tapiz urbano, donde la diversidad es la norma y la comunidad se entrelaza con una energía única, se encuentra un establecimiento que ha consolidado su reputación como un verdadero pilar de la gastronomía asiática: Silver Pond Restaurant. Ubicado estratégicamente en la 4285 FL-7 (U.S. 441), Silver Pond invita a sus comensales a un auténtico viaje culinario a través de los ricos y variados paisajes de la cocina cantonesa, con un énfasis especial en el arte milenario del Dim Sum.

El Corazón de la Cocina Cantonesa en Florida

Silver Pond no es simplemente un restaurante; es un portal a una de las tradiciones culinarias más veneradas y complejas del mundo: la cocina cantonesa. Originaria de la provincia de Guangdong, en el sur de China, esta gastronomía es famosa por su frescura, sus sabores equilibrados y sus meticulosas técnicas de cocción. A diferencia de otras cocinas regionales chinas que pueden inclinarse hacia lo picante o lo muy especiado, la cantonesa prioriza la pureza de los ingredientes, buscando realzar sus sabores naturales con una delicadeza que ha conquistado paladares a nivel global.

Los pilares de la cocina cantonesa incluyen una amplia gama de métodos de cocción, desde el salteado rápido y la cocción al vapor hasta el estofado lento y el asado, cada uno aplicado con precisión para extraer lo mejor de cada ingrediente. El uso de salsas ligeras, como la salsa de soja de alta calidad, el jengibre, la cebolla verde y el ajo, es fundamental para crear perfiles de sabor que son a la vez sutiles y profundamente satisfactorios. Los mariscos, frescos y abundantes dada la ubicación costera de Guangdong, juegan un papel protagonista, al igual que las carnes asadas a la perfección, como el pato laqueado y el cha siu (cerdo asado).

En Silver Pond, los visitantes pueden esperar encontrar una dedicación a estos principios, ofreciendo una experiencia que va más allá de la mera alimentación para convertirse en una inmersión cultural. El ambiente, a menudo bullicioso y lleno de vida, con familias y amigos compartiendo grandes mesas redondas, es un testimonio de la naturaleza comunitaria de la comida cantonesa.

El Arte del Dim Sum: Una Tradición para Compartir

Sin duda, uno de los mayores atractivos de Silver Pond es su oferta de Dim Sum. Para quienes no estén familiarizados, el Dim Sum es mucho más que una simple comida; es una experiencia social, una tradición arraigada en la cultura china de "yum cha" o "beber té". Se trata de una vasta colección de pequeños platos, delicadamente preparados y servidos en cestas de vapor o en pequeños platillos, diseñados para ser compartidos entre los comensales mientras disfrutan de té caliente.

La tradición del Dim Sum se remonta a siglos atrás, originándose en las casas de té a lo largo de la Ruta de la Seda, donde los viajeros hacían una pausa para descansar y reponer fuerzas. Con el tiempo, estos establecimientos comenzaron a ofrecer pequeños bocadillos para acompañar el té, evolucionando hasta convertirse en la elaborada y variada oferta que conocemos hoy.

En Silver Pond, la experiencia del Dim Sum es un espectáculo en sí misma. Durante las horas de almuerzo, especialmente los fines de semana, el restaurante cobra vida con el ir y venir de carritos que serpentean entre las mesas, cargados con una tentadora variedad de delicias recién hechas. Cada carrito presenta una selección diferente de platos, y los comensales simplemente señalan lo que desean, permitiendo que la comida llegue directamente a su mesa, fresca y humeante. Este método de servicio no solo es eficiente, sino que también añade un elemento de emoción y descubrimiento a la comida.

Entre los platos de Dim Sum más populares que los visitantes pueden esperar encontrar en un establecimiento como Silver Pond se incluyen:

  • Har Gow (Empanadillas de Camarones): Pequeñas y translúcidas empanadillas rellenas de camarones frescos, bambú y grasa de cerdo, con una envoltura fina y elástica que revela su relleno rosado.
  • Siu Mai (Empanadillas de Cerdo y Camarones): Empanadillas abiertas en la parte superior, típicamente rellenas de cerdo picado, camarones y setas shiitake, a menudo adornadas con huevas de pescado o zanahoria rallada.
  • Char Siu Bao (Panecillos de Cerdo Asado): Panecillos al vapor, suaves y esponjosos, rellenos de trozos de cerdo asado (char siu) en una salsa dulce y salada.
  • Cheong Fun (Rollos de Arroz al Vapor): Rollos de fideos de arroz finos y sedosos, a menudo rellenos de camarones, carne de res o cerdo asado, y bañados en una salsa de soja dulce.
  • Lo Mai Gai (Arroz Glutinoso en Hoja de Loto): Arroz glutinoso cocido al vapor con pollo, setas, salchicha china y otros ingredientes, envuelto en una hoja de loto para impartirle un aroma distintivo.
  • Gai Lan (Brócoli Chino): Vegetales verdes al vapor, a menudo servidos con salsa de ostras, que ofrecen un contrapunto fresco a los platos más ricos.
  • Dan Tat (Tartaletas de Huevo): Un postre clásico, estas tartaletas consisten en una delicada y hojaldrada base de masa rellena de una crema de huevo dulce y sedosa, horneada hasta la perfección.

La variedad es asombrosa, y parte de la diversión del Dim Sum es probar un poco de todo, descubriendo nuevos favoritos con cada visita. La frescura de los ingredientes y la habilidad en la preparación son cruciales, y Silver Pond se esfuerza por mantener estos altos estándares para ofrecer una experiencia auténtica y memorable.

Más Allá del Dim Sum: Un Festín Cantonés Completo

Si bien el Dim Sum es una estrella, la oferta culinaria de Silver Pond se extiende mucho más allá, abarcando una amplia selección de platos cantoneses tradicionales disponibles para el almuerzo y la cena. La carta principal ofrece una profunda inmersión en la riqueza de la cocina de Guangdong, satisfaciendo tanto a los conocedores como a aquellos que desean explorar nuevos sabores.

Los amantes de los mariscos encontrarán una sección dedicada a pescados y mariscos frescos, preparados de diversas maneras para resaltar su dulzura natural. Desde langosta al jengibre y cebolla verde hasta pescado entero al vapor con salsa de soja ligera, la frescura es la clave. Los platos de carne también son prominentes, con opciones como el ya mencionado pato laqueado, que se sirve con su piel crujiente y su carne jugosa, o el cerdo asado, con su exterior caramelizado y su interior tierno.

Los platos salteados son otro pilar de la cocina cantonesa y de la oferta de Silver Pond. Desde carnes y vegetales salteados con salsas ligeras hasta fideos chow mein y arroz frito, cada plato se prepara con la técnica del "wok hei", el "aliento del wok", que imparte un sabor ahumado y una textura única a la comida. Las sopas, a menudo ligeras y reconfortantes, también forman parte del menú, ofreciendo un equilibrio perfecto antes o después de los platos principales.

Para aquellos que buscan una comida más sustanciosa, los platos de arroz y fideos son opciones excelentes, que van desde el clásico arroz frito Yang Chow hasta fideos de arroz planos con carne de res. La diversidad asegura que haya algo para cada paladar y ocasión, ya sea una comida rápida o una cena elaborada.

El Entorno y la Experiencia en Silver Pond

El ambiente en Silver Pond es típicamente el de un gran restaurante chino auténtico, diseñado para acomodar a un gran número de comensales y fomentar una experiencia comunitaria. Las mesas redondas, a menudo equipadas con Lazy Susans (plataformas giratorias), son perfectas para compartir platos y facilitar la conversación. La decoración suele incorporar elementos tradicionales chinos, creando un ambiente que es a la vez elegante y acogedor.

Lauderdale Lakes, como barrio anfitrión, es una comunidad diversa y vibrante en el condado de Broward. Su ubicación en una arteria principal como la FL-7 (U.S. 441) hace que Silver Pond sea fácilmente accesible para residentes y visitantes de toda la región. Esta accesibilidad, combinada con la reputación del restaurante por su autenticidad, lo convierte en un destino popular para reuniones familiares, celebraciones y simplemente para aquellos que buscan una comida china de alta calidad.

El personal, a menudo bilingüe o multilingüe, trabaja con eficiencia para gestionar el flujo constante de clientes, especialmente durante las horas pico de Dim Sum. Aunque el servicio puede ser rápido y directo, es un reflejo de la naturaleza dinámica de los restaurantes chinos tradicionales, donde la eficiencia y la frescura son primordiales.

Un Punto de Encuentro Cultural y Culinario

Silver Pond Restaurant no solo sirve comida; sirve como un punto de encuentro cultural. Para la comunidad asiática local, es un lugar donde se pueden sentir en casa, disfrutando de sabores que les recuerdan a su tierra natal. Para otros, es una oportunidad para explorar una cultura diferente a través de su gastronomía, ampliando sus horizontes culinarios. La presencia de un restaurante de esta envergadura en Lauderdale Lakes subraya la diversidad de la ciudad y su capacidad para albergar y celebrar diferentes tradiciones.

La autenticidad es un factor clave en el éxito de Silver Pond. En un mercado donde abundan las opciones de comida china "americanizada", Silver Pond se distingue por su compromiso con las recetas y técnicas tradicionales cantonesas. Esta dedicación se traduce en platos que son fieles a sus orígenes, ofreciendo un sabor genuino que es muy apreciado por quienes buscan la verdadera experiencia.

Consejos Prácticos para tu Visita

Para aprovechar al máximo tu experiencia en Silver Pond, aquí tienes algunos consejos prácticos:

  • Horarios de Dim Sum: El Dim Sum suele servirse principalmente durante el almuerzo, desde la apertura hasta media tarde. Los fines de semana son especialmente populares y pueden estar muy concurridos.
  • Llega Temprano o Tarde: Si deseas evitar las multitudes, considera llegar un poco antes o después de la hora pico del almuerzo, especialmente los fines de semana.
  • Ve con un Grupo: El Dim Sum y la cocina cantonesa en general están diseñados para ser compartidos. Ir con un grupo más grande te permitirá probar una mayor variedad de platos.
  • No Tengas Miedo de Preguntar: Si no estás seguro de qué pedir o qué es un plato en particular, no dudes en preguntar al personal o a los camareros de los carritos.
  • Explora Más Allá del Dim Sum: Si visitas para la cena o simplemente quieres una comida más completa, explora el extenso menú principal para descubrir otros clásicos cantoneses.
  • Ubicación y Estacionamiento: Al estar en una ubicación prominente en la FL-7, el restaurante suele contar con amplio estacionamiento en un centro comercial o plaza, facilitando el acceso en coche.

En resumen, Silver Pond Restaurant en Lauderdale Lakes es más que un simple lugar para comer; es una institución culinaria que ofrece una ventana auténtica a la rica y diversa tradición de la cocina cantonesa. Ya sea que busques la emoción del Dim Sum rodante, la frescura de los mariscos al vapor o la reconfortante familiaridad de un plato de fideos, Silver Pond promete una experiencia gastronómica que deleitará tus sentidos y te transportará a los vibrantes sabores del sur de China, todo ello en el corazón del sur de Florida. Es un destino obligado para cualquier amante de la buena comida y una joya en el panorama gastronómico de Lauderdale Lakes.


Lauderdale Lakes: Guía Completa de Estilo de Vida y Vivienda

Lauderdale Lakes, una ciudad en el corazón del condado de Broward, Florida, se presenta como una comunidad dinámica y en constante evolución. Lejos del bullicio turístico de las playas de Fort Lauderdale, esta ciudad ofrece un estilo de vida distintivo que atrae a una población diversa en busca de un equilibrio entre la conveniencia urbana y un ambiente residencial arraigado. Para quienes consideran establecerse en el sur de Florida, Lauderdale Lakes emerge como una opción atractiva y accesible, con un carácter propio que la distingue.

1. INTRODUCCIÓN: El Carácter de Lauderdale Lakes

Lauderdale Lakes es, ante todo, una ciudad de carácter mixto, donde la vibrante vida comercial se entrelaza con extensas zonas residenciales. No se define por ser un destino turístico de playa, sino más bien como un centro neurálgico para sus residentes, ofreciendo una amplia gama de servicios y comodidades. Su identidad está fuertemente marcada por una rica diversidad cultural, reflejo de las múltiples comunidades que la llaman hogar, creando un ambiente multicultural y enérgico que se percibe en sus calles, sus negocios y su oferta gastronómica. Es una ciudad que se siente auténtica y arraigada, con un fuerte sentido de comunidad.

2. PERFIL DEMOGRÁFICO: Un Crisol de Culturas

El perfil demográfico de Lauderdale Lakes es uno de sus mayores atractivos. La ciudad es un verdadero crisol de culturas, con una notable presencia de comunidades caribeñas (especialmente haitianas y jamaicanas), latinas y afroamericanas. Esta diversidad se traduce en un ambiente vibrante y acogedor, donde se celebran diferentes tradiciones y se fomenta la interacción intercultural.

Lauderdale Lakes es un lugar ideal para familias que buscan un entorno estable y comunidades con valores arraigados. Su enfoque en la educación pública y la presencia de parques y áreas recreativas la hacen atractiva para quienes crían hijos. Si bien no es predominantemente un centro para jóvenes profesionales solteros o estudiantes, sí atrae a aquellos que buscan opciones de vivienda más asequibles que las ciudades costeras, sin sacrificar la cercanía a los centros de empleo de Broward y Miami-Dade. Los jubilados que valoran la diversidad y la accesibilidad a servicios también encuentran un lugar en Lauderdale Lakes, aunque quizás no sea su principal destino de retiro comparado con otras zonas de Florida.

3. MERCADO INMOBILIARIO: Diversidad y Accesibilidad

El mercado inmobiliario de Lauderdale Lakes ofrece una gama de opciones que se adaptan a diferentes presupuestos y estilos de vida, destacándose por ser generalmente más accesible que las ciudades costeras o el centro de Fort Lauderdale. La oferta de vivienda incluye:

  • Viviendas unifamiliares: Predominan las casas de estilo rancho, construidas principalmente entre las décadas de 1960 y 1980, que ofrecen jardines y un ambiente más suburbano. Hay una mezcla de propiedades bien mantenidas y otras con potencial de renovación.
  • Townhouses y dúplex: Opciones populares para quienes buscan más espacio que un apartamento pero con menos mantenimiento que una casa unifamiliar.
  • Condominios y apartamentos: Una abundancia de complejos de apartamentos y condominios, muchos de ellos más antiguos y por lo tanto más asequibles, aunque también hay desarrollos más modernos. Estos son ideales para individuos o parejas que buscan comodidad y menos responsabilidades de mantenimiento.

El rango de precios es considerablemente más moderado en comparación con las ciudades vecinas como Fort Lauderdale o Pompano Beach. Si bien los precios varían drásticamente según el tamaño, la condición y la ubicación específica de la propiedad, Lauderdale Lakes ofrece una excelente relación calidad-precio para el sur de Florida. Es un mercado atractivo para compradores de primera vivienda, inversores y aquellos que buscan alquileres asequibles en una ubicación céntrica dentro del condado de Broward.

4. TRANSPORTE: Conexiones Estratégicas

Lauderdale Lakes se beneficia de una ubicación geográfica estratégica en el condado de Broward, lo que le otorga excelentes conexiones de transporte:

  • Autopistas: La ciudad está directamente adyacente a importantes arterias viales. La Florida's Turnpike atraviesa su borde oeste, y la I-95 se encuentra a poca distancia al este, proporcionando acceso rápido al norte y al sur de Florida. La U.S. 441 (State Road 7) y Commercial Boulevard son las principales vías comerciales que atraviesan la ciudad, facilitando el acceso local.
  • Transporte Público: El sistema de Broward County Transit (BCT) opera varias rutas de autobús que sirven a Lauderdale Lakes, conectando a los residentes con ciudades vecinas, centros comerciales y centros de transporte. Si bien no hay estaciones de metro, las estaciones de Tri-Rail (como Cypress Creek o Fort Lauderdale Airport) están a una distancia razonable en coche o mediante conexiones de autobús, ofreciendo una opción de tren de cercanías hacia Miami-Dade y Palm Beach.
  • Distancia a Centros Clave:
    • Centro de Fort Lauderdale: Aproximadamente 15-25 minutos en coche, dependiendo del tráfico.
    • Playas: Las famosas playas de Fort Lauderdale están a unos 20-30 minutos en coche.
    • Aeropuerto Internacional de Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL): Alrededor de 20-30 minutos en coche.
    • Aeropuerto Internacional de Miami (MIA): Aproximadamente 45-60 minutos en coche.

La dependencia del coche es alta, como en gran parte del sur de Florida, pero la infraestructura vial y la disponibilidad de transporte público local son ventajas significativas.

5. SERVICIOS: Comodidad a tu Alcance

Lauderdale Lakes y sus alrededores ofrecen una infraestructura de servicios completa que cubre todas las necesidades diarias de sus residentes:

  • Colegios: La ciudad forma parte del distrito de Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Broward, uno de los más grandes del país. Cuenta con varias escuelas primarias, intermedias y secundarias públicas dentro o muy cerca de sus límites. También hay opciones de escuelas privadas y charter en la zona.
  • Hospitales y Atención Médica: Los residentes tienen fácil acceso a importantes centros hospitalarios. HCA Florida University Hospital en Davie y Broward Health Medical Center en Fort Lauderdale están a poca distancia. Además, hay numerosas clínicas de atención primaria, centros de urgencias y consultorios especializados distribuidos por toda la ciudad y sus alrededores.
  • Supermercados y Compras: La oferta de supermercados es excelente, con cadenas como Publix, Walmart Supercenter y Winn-Dixie. Además, la diversidad cultural de la ciudad se refleja en la presencia de numerosos mercados étnicos que ofrecen productos especializados de diversas cocinas, lo que enriquece la experiencia de compra. Los centros comerciales locales y grandes superficies están convenientemente ubicados a lo largo de U.S. 441 y Commercial Boulevard.
  • Gimnasios y Recreación: Hay una variedad de gimnasios (como LA Fitness, Planet Fitness) y centros de fitness disponibles. La ciudad también cuenta con centros comunitarios que ofrecen programas deportivos y recreativos para todas las edades.

6. AMBIENTE: Comunidad y Calma Suburbana

El ambiente en Lauderdale Lakes es predominantemente el de una comunidad suburbana activa.

  • Seguridad Percibida: Como en cualquier área metropolitana, la percepción de seguridad puede variar. Sin embargo, la ciudad se esfuerza por mantener un ambiente seguro para sus residentes, con la presencia de la policía local. Muchas comunidades residenciales y complejos de apartamentos cuentan con medidas de seguridad adicionales. El sentido de comunidad es fuerte, y los vecinos a menudo se conocen y se apoyan mutuamente.
  • Vida Nocturna: Lauderdale Lakes no es conocida por una vida nocturna vibrante al estilo de South Beach o Las Olas Boulevard. La oferta se inclina más hacia restaurantes familiares, bares locales y establecimientos con música en vivo más relajada. Para opciones de vida nocturna más animadas, los residentes suelen dirigirse a Fort Lauderdale.
  • Zonas Verdes: A pesar de su desarrollo urbano, Lauderdale Lakes ofrece espacios verdes para el disfrute de sus residentes. La ciudad lleva el nombre de "Lakes" (lagos) por una razón; cuenta con varios lagos pequeños y canales que añaden un toque natural. Hay parques comunitarios con áreas de juego, canchas deportivas y espacios para picnics, ideales para actividades al aire libre y para disfrutar del clima de Florida.

7. RECOMENDACIÓN FINAL: ¿Para Quién es Ideal Este Barrio?

Lauderdale Lakes es un barrio ideal para:

  • Familias que buscan asequibilidad y diversidad: Ofrece viviendas a precios más razonables que otras ciudades del sur de Florida, en un entorno multicultural y con acceso a buenos servicios educativos.
  • Individuos o parejas que valoran la conveniencia: Su ubicación central y fácil acceso a las principales autopistas la hacen perfecta para quienes necesitan desplazarse por el condado de Broward para trabajar o estudiar.
  • Aquellos que aprecian una comunidad auténtica: Si buscas una ciudad con un fuerte sentido de identidad, donde la diversidad cultural se celebra y la vida comunitaria es activa, Lauderdale Lakes es una excelente opción.
  • Personas que buscan un equilibrio: Ofrece la comodidad de la vida urbana con un ambiente residencial más tranquilo y accesible que las zonas costeras.

En resumen, Lauderdale Lakes es una ciudad que ofrece una calidad de vida sólida, opciones de vivienda variadas y asequibles, y una comunidad rica en diversidad. Es una excelente opción para quienes buscan establecerse en el sur de Florida sin la prima de precio de las zonas más turísticas, pero sin sacrificar la conveniencia y el acceso a todo lo que la región tiene para ofrecer.
