Kirin Restaurant

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.

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.

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!!

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.

A hidden gem for those looking for some tasty and authentic Chinese food from dim sums to your noodle, stir fry dishes and many more. Don’t let the outdoor and indoor ambience fool you. The service was surprisingly good for an authentic Chinese place.
