Silver Fountain Fast Food — Restaurant in Toronto

I came here to the food court yesterday and ordered the thousand island pork on rice. I ordered the same dish from Great Fountain Fast Food because I was curious. I also had help to eat them.

There was a marked difference between the two dishes in terms of portion size and philosophy.

The dish is exactly as you would expect but may be a bit spartan. It comes with a drink, white rice and the pork on top with sauce.

The dish at Great Fountain Fast Food (their competitor in the same food court) included a bit more but was a few dollars more. The competitor's meal included the same items but also soup. The skill and preparation gone into the dish at Silver Fountain appeared to generally be less than Great Fountain. For example, the pork's fried texture and sauce at Great Fountain was clearly superior to the Silver Fountain's thousand island pork because it seemed to indeed have more wok hey as other reviews have mentioned. But Silver Fountain's dish had slightly more pork in their dish and cost less.

The rice at Great Fountain was superior because it was a simple egg fried rice whereas Silver Fountain only provides white rice. The rice was also topped with some Bok Choy and comes with soup whereas Silver Fountain does not.

The lemon tea at Great Fountain had more lemons and a stronger tea flavour compared to their Silver Fountain.

I am sympathetic towards the thin margins these small stalls have and I am pleasantly surprised by what they can provide. The dish at Silver Fountain had a lot of rice and a little bit more pork than Great Fountain. If the margins permit, I think the dish could benefit some a little bit of green in terms of vegetables or maybe even some chopped pickles in the sauce for colour.

The dish at Silver Fountain was a dollar or two less than their competitor and is priced fairly.

The service was good and pleasant. I heard the gentleman in front of me picking up his order saying multiple times that he was very hungry suggesting he wanted a little bit more. I can't be sure, but I think the worker at Silver Mountain comforted him gave him a bit more food.

The lady at the front was also nice and warmer when I was ordering and picking up the food when compared to Great Fountain.

The food quality is probably a bit better at Great Fountain but Silver Fountain stall strikes me as incredibly hard working, honest and looks out for the common man looking...

Dear Readers.

My first experience was during a time visiting my old acquaintances. They highly recommend this place due to the price.

First expression from the layout it's very shabby. I have low expectations already. But when I managed to arrived home with take out box's. To my surprise the braised beef with rice were delicious. Especially enjoyed the fact that they didn't add to much salt nor used cheap cuts.

For $10.25 with tax. It's far more tasty than it looked.

Have low but realistic expectations. Most places will be charged between $15-25 per meal. I can see why they highly recommend this place. The location it's actually pretty good for this area of community. Although it'll be difficult for me to visit again unless it's an special occasion.

In conclusion I would come here again for casual eat. Far better than McDonald's.

Here's a tip. Bring cash.

We tried silver fountain Chinese food for the first time tonight and it was amazing. We ordered the dinner for 3, combo 3A, that came with deep fried crispy chicken, sweet and sour pork and stir fried veggies with garlic. It also came with steamed rice and their daily soup. We also ordered the beef tomato and eggplant and grouper over crispy egg noodles. Everything was delicious!!!!!! Besides the steamed rice that came with the beef tomato and some garlic veggies we have no left overs it was that good. We did have to wait a little while for our order cause there were approx 4-5 people who ordered ahead of us but it was well worth the wait. Cant wait to go back again and try other dishes. Would highly recommend silver fountain fast food to anyone who wants good homestyle...
