Just heard they closed We're really going to miss them Really good food I hope they reopen somewhere close read more

Good thing: Fast service Bad things: Peking Spare rib smell old and the meat was tough. I felt sick (the feeling of food poisoning) and vomited after eating this dish. For Walnut shrimp, instead of shrimps, they covered each small shrimps in a thick (very thick) batter to fill up the portion. This is worse than Chinese fast food and American fast food. Worst than McDonalds. At least I don't get food poisoning after eating McDonald. Never come back again! read more

Finally had the chance to order takeout from Silver Ocean restaurant, and we ordered it on Christmas day. Ordered a couple of items: vegetable fried rice, ma po tofu, eggplant, and green beans. Food was ready within 10 mins. The food was decent especially for the price. You can't beat that price for food in the bay area. The flavors were good but not the strong Chinese flavors that I was expecting. Overall, it was ok but nothing too spectacular. Large parking lot shared with raleys and other small businesses. read more

Delicious food served in huge portions at low prices. Some of my favourite dishes are Barbecued Pork Chow Fun, Egg Flower Soup, Edamame, and Barbecued Pork Fried Rice! Highly recommended, let's make sure they stay in business!! read more

This restaurant has been here forever. It's our local reliably good OG Chinese food. This place is the kind of place our parents took us to back in the day in Chinatown. Veggies were cooked perfectly and were very fresh. Lots of nice sized shrimp in our shrimp with mixed vegetables. We also ordered chicken chow fun. It was amazing! It really hit the spot. We will be back. read more

I like Chinese food. I order Chinese take out a lot. This was the first time I ordered from Silver Ovean and it was not good. Bland and not fresh. It tasted like the used old shrimp in their dishes. Took a chance but won't be ordering from them again. Threw most of it in the trash read more

Worst customer service! Called in for take out and a certain employee called Dar, gave me attitude! And check the fingernails of the people here preparing your food. read more

Wait a minute...this restaurant not only serve Chinese food but they offer Japanese food like sushi. I would not expect simple food from both countries. I dine at this restaurant due to doing my grocery shopping at Raley's. I had Sesame Chicken...delicious and simple. Inside the restaurant is quiet. Their TV is on Headline News. You can watch the news while eating. I will dine here again read more

Still the best value in town for Chinese food and sushi. Where else in 2024 can you get a whole order of chow mein with meat for less than $10? The menu is pretty extensive and the owners are very friendly and hard-working as well. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Silver Ocean Restaurant - All this chicken chow mein, and for less than $10 in 2024! I even took some noodles off the top already! - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

Tried this spot and really enjoyed the food! Came in for lunch and the service was quick and very good. Highly recommend this spot!

Super hole in the wall restaurant. Great prices and great food (had the sushi - excellent). Nice server too. Will be back.

I have ordered takeout before from Silver Ocean and have always had timely, delicious hot food. However this past week was an exception. On one Monday, I ordered my usual, Sweet and Sour Shrimp. This time I didn't want to have my accompanied Chow Mein, but decided to try their Singapore Noodles which I have never had in my life. It was SO GOOD! On Thursday I was already wanting to reorder just the Singapore noodles. I ordered two servings. I'm not sure if a different chef was on that day (around 1:00 PM) or what had happened, but both noodles were completely dried out and covered with curry powder. They tasted and looked like they were old and just thrown in the microwave. They came from restaurant to my house in 15 minutes, which tells me they were not made fresh. It's sad because consistency in restaurant food these days is a must and at $14 per order of noodles plus all the "nickel and dime" fees and tip, it's a hefty sum to have sub-par delivery food. I won't order here again due to consistency issues. Do better, or don't do at all. read more

Haven't been here in a few years. Decided to stop in for lunch. We came in and were seated. We were looking at the menu and 10 minutes later pour order is not taken. The server is looking at us for the back area and saw us looking at them yet no one came to take our order so we left. We won't come back. read more

This place is 5 stars, as always. Wanted to get some good takeout during SIP 2.0 They do a really good job on the Hong Kong style chow mein, which is chock-full of different kinds of meat, shrimp, and vegetables on a bed of crispy pan fried noodles which stayed crispy on the ride home! We also got the garlic eggplant which was so flavorful and the tofu beef which was delicious with a rich gravy over soft tofu and tender beef. The service here is always great! They are bright, friendly, fast and efficient. I asked them to hold the salt on my food and they did. This is a small family business which is so deserving of support during shelter in place. Please patronize them, their food is so good, authentic, and the service is superb. I hear that their sushi is fantastic, hubby will probably try that next time. Will definitely be back! read more

The food is excellent. The lunch specials are a great price. You get entree rice, won ton soup, salad. For a few dollars more you get another choice this time I tried tempura vegetable and shrimp delicious. The service is great. The servers were super nice. This is my second time eating there. Nice and clean read more

We did an order of mapo tofu, veggie fried rice , and crab puffs. It was actually very good especially it was a great price too. We picked up the food and it was a nice clean restaurant and the staff was pleasant. Looked at their menu and they seem to have amazing lunch deals so this is going to become one of our go to spots for great Chinese takeout. Awesome veggie selection with authentic Chinese flavors. Deserves praise! read more

** The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** Oh dear, I've broken my self-imposed rule of avoiding hybrid restaurants whose cuisines are not all that compatible. There are Mexican-Italian restaurants and Franco-Moroccan restaurants, but Chinese-Japanese restaurants conjure up a level of historical animosity that don't necessarily reconcile themselves on a plate. Besides, what does sushi have to do with kung pao chicken? As it turns out, not much though I think they do a pretty good job on the Japanese side all things considered. I decided to break my rule over the fact that it was the rare non-Japanese-owned restaurant that offered a $12.99 Naruto Roll, the rice-less cucumber roll filled with salmon, maguro, hamachi, and avocado. This one they did quite well as the fresh fish was abundant and the portion quite generous (photo: https://bit.ly/2Win404). The $13.95 Yellowtail Lover Roll was another winner with chopped spicy hamachi and avocado wrapped in slabs of fresh hamachi and green onions (photo: https://bit.ly/2z0soxk). The $12.50 Sunrise Roll was just not as satisfying. It mixed culinary sensibilities by combining spicy tuna and avocado, wrapping it in a seared white tuna and topping it with deep-fried crunchy bits and tobiko (photo: https://bit.ly/3aXdh4Q). Frankly I found it a mess. Much better was the $8.50 Salmon Kama, a grilled collar with an extra amount of salmon for good measure (photo: https://bit.ly/2Sue8U9). To complete the meal for Jamie W. and myself, we added an order of the $4.50 Edamame which hit the spot one steamed, salted pod at a time (photo: https://bit.ly/3aXETa7). Preparation and delivery were fine by us during this time of COVID-19. FOOD - 4 stars...the simpler the roll, the better, and the kama was pretty hearty AMBIANCE - n/a...it was takeout and I was nowhere near El Sobrante SERVICE - 4.5 stars...delivery was fast and attentive with no physical interaction TOTAL - 4 stars...a Chinese-Japanese restaurant that mostly worked RELATED - Exploring the western part of Contra Costa County?

I wish I would have read the health test scores first. We were greeted to sit with a party of 6. The food came out pretty fast despite we were the only family in there. The combo rice ingredients tasted old, the Mongolian beef tasted spoiled/old-we did not finish that plate, the broccoli beef was ok, the chow mein was ok. All the meats had a similar taste or maybe the refrigerator wasn't working. The sushi was ok. I definitely do not recommend this place in anyway. I will not be returning. read more

Overpriced for the quality and quantity of the portions. Service was beyond bad, this girl was so rude, didn't even wanted to talk to me directly only to my husband. She forgot my water when she brought both of our sodas and I tried to get her attention but she just flat straight ignored me I had to raise my voice for her to even acknowledge that I was there. After dropping off the food I had to get up and get the soy sauce and chilly sauce for myself, she saw me doing it and didn't flinch. In full honesty this place was so sad to be empty on a Saturday night. I would suggest to avoid going to this place if you want to be mistreated specially if you're a woman and like I said it was too expensive for the amount of food we got. read more

The food is freshly made and well prepared. Could use a better proportion of meat to vegetables.

Absolutely loved everything we ordered for tonight's dinner! Sushi was fresh and flavorful and the fried rice and chicken was amazing as well. Definitely will be our go to for now on! Very nice people working there as well. read more

I love this place. Great sushi and so consistent with quality and presentation! The Chinese food takes a backseat for me, but I haven't been disappointed when I do try it. Service is always quick, selection is extensive and customer service is excellent. Every time I order whether over the phone or on Yelp, there are never any hiccups with my food. HIGHLY recommend! Oh and they were open the entire pandemic and DID NOT raise their prices. Pretty dope! read more

Silver Ocean Restaurant - 2 lion kings, 2 crunch california roll, shrimp and Chicken Chow Mein, Gyoza, Honey Walnut Shrimp, sweet and Sweet sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

OMG! Why didn't I ever try this sushi place any sooner than today?! So I had a craving for poke salad and in my area there aren't any options at all but I saw that Silver Ocean had a poke roll - must try! Especially with the warmer weather that's now approaching, it really hit the spot! But this review is for the American Dream Roll - I never thought you could wrap this all up with such delight!! I've never had such an AMAZING roll before!! And look at the photos, the sushi roll is HUGE compared to make other sushi places that I've been to. Definitely the size of a mini burrito if you ask me!! I would totally have this again and I just had this 5mins ago! read more

Good food and friendly service. The staff is nice and the food is delicious. It's my go to place for sushi and a good lunch.

Really great and tasty all the items i have tried are so good and well presented! I live this location because if you do not want to dress up it is a really mellow chill spot! The service is great and fast. Sushi and Chinese food its cant get better than this! read more

Decent and affordable Chinese food within reach! The restaurant is conveniently located in a plaza, so finding parking isn't a huge issue. The space is open and laid out like many other mom and pop restaurants, and can accommodate for parties both big and small. The last time I came here, my sister and I had dinner and had General Tso's chicken and beef fried rice. The chicken was a bit too soft but overall saucy and tasty. The fried rice did the job well. Overall, this is a good place to grab an affordable lunch or even take out a big party to for dinner. read more

Love the salt and pepper fish I had the vegetable chow mein and chicken broccoli I ate this for 2 days straight because you can't eat it longer than that but it was sooo much fun and it was delicious so I didn't mind it I'm disabled they always deliver to my car and I enjoy at home very nice people my go to place read more

Great hot and sour soup! Also, so fun to get Chinese food and sushi together. Very fair prices, too.

I came here for the first time about 1 month ago and loved it so much that I came back the very next day for lunch! I forget which rolls I had, but all 3 were delicious and fresh. The service was great and the staff is friendly. It's definitely the best sushi in the area. read more

We ordered our food to go (grub hub) the food was ready way earlier than the timing showed on yelp. The food was delicious especially the shrimp. Fresh, big and meaty. I didn't care for the pot stickers. They were huge pot stickers but there was little meat and the pot stickers tasted a little watery. The staff had great customer service. read more

Look my kids know their way around the HK style chow mein. This one wasn't it. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing very memorable about it. I will say, their service was fine and the staff was friendly. Maybe just gotta try some different dishes next time. read more

I was very impressed with silver ocean and also even to grub hub. Their prices for delivery are much cheaper than DoorDash. We ordered salmon and tuna sashimi, a dragon roll and a side order of chicken fried rice. The basic fried rice honestly was super tasty. The dragon roll was amazing and the freshness from sashimi was great. Good cuts and good size cuts. I will have to dine in next time but this place is great. read more

Wanted Sushi and this was the only place open, I'm so glad it was the only option because it was amazingly good!!! Price is fair, size was excellent and taste was fantastic! Thank you guys for being open on Christmas Eve!!! read more

Silver Ocean Restaurant - Lion King Roll Deep Fired California roll - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

I'm sorry to have to give such a bad review, but folks need to know. I got this sudden giant craving for sushi - haven't had any since Shelter, so out of desperation I decided to try this place since it's closest to where I live. I wasn't expecting super special, but it would have been so cool if it was even just decent and convenient. I'm not a big roll person, like to taste the fish. So I got 3 orders of nigiri: tuna, hamachi and unagi. Both fish were of poor quality. The hamachi was especially gross since it was cut with the grain rather than across which made it stringy, plus it was absolutely drenched in lemon juice. The rice was also poor quality, broken grains and just not properly made with way too much sugar. The unagi was OK, just a bit much seaweed taste, but by then I was too done to be open minded. I only ate one of each pair and was too grossed out to continue. The portions were very generous, but it would be preferable to have less and of better quality. This level of fish might seem to get by in a big giant deep fried roll with a ton of other stuff (again, not my thing) but it absolutely does not stand on it's own. To top it off, I ordered in person and stepped out for awhile. When I came back I noticed the mask had slipped under the cook's nose. Not cool! I almost returned the order, but I was tired and hungry, so I just took it and walked out. I'm at least the second person to comment on this, I now find. At least now I know and no longer have to wonder about this place anymore. I know it's unlikely, but if I have to get covid from sushi, I wish it had been better sushi! I've only had their Chinese food once when they first opened and wasn't impressed, but that was a long time ago, so I can't comment. I have to say I'm surprised they've received so many positive reviews. Update: I did not get covid. Still not going back. read more

Since Royal Palace closed down, I've been forced to try out the other Chinese restaurants in the area. I've tried 4 others so far, and I'm going down the list. Today is Silver Ocean's turn. I give it two stars. Here's why: 1. I went inside the place to check out the menu and place my order. I ordered from the lady behind the counter, who I was already having a hard time hearing because she mumbled under her mask. After placing my order, she told me it was $51.43, and it will take 20 minutes. I said okay I'll be back then. She says I have to pay now. I said I normally pay in Chinese restaurants when I get my order. She said you have to pay now. I said, that's a first. I would rather that I pay when I pick up my food. A gentleman behind her was listening and said, "go ahead. You could pay when you get back." Minus 1 star 2. I ordered 5 dishes. Sweet and sour pork - This is good. The bell peppers and onions in it were crunchy, just how I like it. The family loved it. Combo fried rice - It was okay. No complaints. Orange chicken - Not great. Bland and even though swimming in sauce, still dry. I did like that it was lightly breaded. Shrimp with snap peas - The snap peas were nice and crunchy. However, if you look at the picture, the sauce was gray. I think it was from the shrimp. The shrimp may have been on the verge of going bad. It tasted funny as well. We ended up just eating the snap peas. Chow mein - It was okay. I would say no complaints, except the shrimp has the same problem as the previous dish. It tasted funny too. If the shrimp is bad, I will update this review tomorrow if I got sick from it. Minus 1.5 star. 3. When I returned to pick up my food, they changed the total to $54 and change. Being that I made a big fuss about paying for the food beforehand (and it's probably why I got old shrimp in my food), I didn't even bother to ask why the price changed. I guess that was my payback for hassling them about paying before I get my food. I lost on the discount of paying upfront. Minus .5 star I wanted to come back here to try the sushi, but seeing the condition of the shrimp that was cooked, I will not risk Montezuma's revenge on raw items from this place. Probably will not come back here. read more
