Silky Apple is the nicest Chinese restaurant we’ve ever been to. The food is delicious and excellent quality. Would highly recommend. The staff are lovely too
Great staff. Good food. Only prob was San Choi Bow was cold and flavourless. Great staff. Good food. Only prob was San Choi Bow was cold and flavourless.
Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere and the staff are attentive but not annoying. The food was served at a steady pace and arrived hot. Great experience.
Friendly service good quality food,and good corkage....This is why silky remains a fixture of melbourne dining....Love the Cantonese steak,the stuffed scallops and dumplings....Peking duck a bit disappointing
We enjoyed our first visit. Staff were friendly & discreet. The food was of a high standard especially the Cantonese sizzling beef fillet. We'll be back!
Had a Lovely meal at Silky Apple on Friday night food nice and tasty, good service and options to B y I a bonus .
David who looked after our table was a great guy. Had a super night here and love that you can BYO wine. We'll be back.
My dinner was outstanding. Food service and price. Very happy I will be back again. Love the place. Always welcoming. 5 star rating from me.
Not what it used to be. We waited over 20 mins once seated to be offered any food. The selection handed around was ok but not amazing. We ended up ordering more off the menu. End of an era
Service excellent, food fresh and delicious. Surroundings a little dated, but very clean. if you can see past the decor, then you will be very pleased with this BYO treat.
Elegant setting, great service and top quality Chinese food. The calamari was amazing!!! We would definitely go back and we would definitely recommend to anybody.
Excellent service, food full of flavour and delicious. Extensive food menu well supported by a a good selection of wines and beers. Will certainly be back again.

Excellent service. Quality food. Great for family. Staff could not do enough to accommodate us. Traditional favourites. Fresh. Flavoursome. Great location. Takeaway option and parking.
The food was fantastic. However, the stairs are hard particularly for a person with a walking stick. Much better to let them have a table on the lower level - we were at the top level. Food and Service very good.
Had a lovely Yum Cha yesterday (N.B. you have to ask for the YC menu). I think having the menu instead of carts coming round led to a more enjoyable meal
We enjoyed fine food, along with prompt, friendly and efficient service. The restaurant staff dealt easily with our group, especially in a tight time-frame. Excellent!
The toffee apple dessert and the fried ice cream were spectacles! We loved everything we ate and the service was great. We will definitely be back.
The experence failed our expectations. Banquet B was mediocre value for money. Service was a bit inattentive to our needs. Atmosphere was not there at all. We are not coming back. Thank you.
Great food and service. Have been going there for 30 years and never had a bad meal. In particular, Peking duck is excellent. Highly recommend
We have lived near Silky Apple for around 9 years and finally got there for dinner. Wish we’d done it earlier!! Food is awesome and we will definitely be back
Good food, but a bit hit 'n' miss with what was offered. Would've been nice to bring out several dishes so make a selection from.
Food was great. Good choices on the menu Service was slightly amateurish but not from lack of trying Staff were very friendly Prices were justified compared with similar places.
Nice food as usual, but a little over-priced. Decor looking a bit tired as nothing done in 30 years. Usually very busy on a Saturday night, but only a few tables there this time. Probably reflective of price and decor.
A family favorite, we came to celebrate our daughters birthday. Everything was first class. Exceptional food and great service. We have been coming regularly for over 15 years and the quality is always high.
We were really disappointed with our dinner this time at Silky Apple. Our previous visits have been fantastic but last night it was as if the chef didn't even try. The food lacked flavour and our fried icecreams weren't even crisp or warm on the outside... Frozen solid all the way through. When I asked why the fried icecream wasn't "fried" the Manager's response was that it depended on how hot the oil was!!!??? Didn't offer any apology and just took my uneaten dessert without offering anything in return and still charged us all for the uncooked fried icecream. Very bad service.
Great food. Great service. Great experience. A must go place. I have been going there for years, and enjoyed it every single time. Do yourself a favor.
Absolutely disgusting there were hardly any dumplings and the ones they brought out were soggy and horrible not going back it use to be good
Silky Apple has excellent food choices and high quality food. The staff are very attentive and you do not wait long for your dishes. It is a good choice for kids & family gatherings.
Always great to return to Silky Apple. The food is reliably very good. The people are pleasant, aim to please and a delight to watch as they serve people. We always enjoy going there whether we are on our own or without grandchildren.
Great Banquet at a reasonable price. Peking duck our favourite dish, along with the birds nest. Restaurant does look a little tired, but has been around a long time.
The food is amazing! We had the Peking beef which was heaven. First time we've had it and it won't be the last. They serve the best sweet and sour pork. The honey chicken is nice but not the best. The fried rice is delicious! The service is great. Can't wait to go back again!
The food and atmosphere was good and everyone enjoyed their meal it was very fresh and lots of it the drinks were good as well
Fantastic old school Chinese decor and super friendly staff. Family friendly and spacious layout. Yummy black bean & chilli king prawns! Fried ice cream with a lovely delicate lemony coating and a flaming garnish was a special experience.... We will be back again soon.
The dishes always delicious with the service always top notch. Been going to the a Silky Apple for 30 years and standard has never wavered.
We had a great meal with great service Restaurant was warm on a very cold winters nightand cqarpeted floor meant we could talk . Very friendly and obliging staff
Yum cha was very yum and excellent value. Service was good. Spring rolls, pork buns, sui mai and ha gow - all delightful. Will be back!
Amazing food and such humble service. Would def return. Food was a bit slow but the owner came & apologised they were down 2 staff members.
Good food, pleasant atmosphere, good service. Some really nice dishes; an enjoyable dinner experience. Very good staff. Easy to enjoy, for families and couples as well.
We had a Very nice dinner, although the Service was a bit slow. However, the restaurant is always pleasant and comfortable. Not quite as good as the previous time.
It was a very nice meal at a reasonable price. I go to Silky Apple each week for lunch as its food is very good.
It was very cold through the dinner. We didn't even take off our coats. Food's very pricey,not appealing at all,covered in starch. Many years ago use to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Melbourne, unfortunately not anymore
This was one of my favourite restaurants. This time when I went there was no variety they put us on a table that was too small, because they had given and table away. It was supposed to be Yum Cha but we had to keep asking for the different food and they kept missing the tables in our section. It was one of the worst Yum Cha lunches I've had. I spoke to the girl after and she didn't seem concerned!
