Upon arriving around noon, I was initially concerned to see only one other party in the restaurant. However, more customers gradually arrived, creating a reasonable crowd. The owners, a couple, managed the floor. They first brought out some chicken pot stickers, and after learning that we all spoke Cantonese, they took our orders for the usual yum cha dishes such as har gow, siu mai, sticky rice chicken, bamboo rolls, and pork ribs.
The pot stickers were flavorful but a bit oily. The rest of the dishes arrived promptly, with XLB (Xiao Long Bao) being offered as an additional option. The dim sum portions were generous, with the har gow containing two large prawns each. While the skins were s...
4/5 because they actually listen to you when you've got an allergy. <br/ <br/ MSG makes me so severely sick for days and the owner made sure there was nothing in it and boy it was great. <br/ <br/ Western style we had honey chicken was all breast and covered in runny honey so it was delish. Fried rice was amazing too and full of flavour. <br/ <br/ Decor is a bit outdated these days and from the funky neon sign you'd expect a chic modern but it's more wood and traditional inside. Staff were friendly and they deliver as well with Deliveroo but seriously why is it full price for Deliveroo? Should be the take out prices as its so much cheaper.
I have been dining at the Silky Apple for many years and I can't recommend it highly enough. <br/ <br/ There is a broad menu with a fantastic range of dishes made from fresh produce that is of a consistently high quality. <br/ <br/ Raymond and his staff are friendly and easily adapt their menu to accommodate varied dietary requirements (i.e.: gluten free).<br/ <br/ On Sunday's they have Yum Cha but they allow you to also order off the main menu. <br/ I have been to a lot of restaurants that don't give you that option during Yum Cha.<br/ <br/ Great location and open two split dining levels.<br/ <br/ This restaurant will not disappoint.
Such a hidden location in the midst of Armadale! But definitely worth the trip! Popped down for a lunchtime rendezvous which was fortunate as the restaurant wasn't busy. Super sweet waiter recommended everything we should try and he wasn't wrong. A big fan of the old school interior and the food was simple enjoyable would venture back!

I have been a patron of the Silky Apple since 2006. It is a lovely old school (80's) Chinese restaurant nestled above a 7-11. The food is very tasty and the menu is extensive. Staff here are lovely and attentive. Only downfall is the stairs for disabled people, otherwise it's always busy when I come here.
Went there last Wednesday with ordering a half roast duck. The duck was cook the very well, the skin was so crispy n the meat is flavoured. The steam rice was hot and sticky. Although the desserts only had mango pudding, it still tasted good n no that sweet
We opted for a selection from the entree section of the à la carte menu rather than yum cha. Whilst we enjoyed our choice of dishes the food is refined run-of-the-mill Chinese fare accompanied by attentive service.
The food at this restaurant is excellent. It was not great in the past, but the new management has greatly improved it. I would recommend it as there are not many good Chinese restaurants in the area.

Silky Apple, the restaurant, has closed its doors marking the end of an era. A sign on the door announces that the landlord has taken back possession of the premises.
Very nice traditional Chinese cuisine. Love it. Peking duck and black pepper steak are highly recommended. Friendly service. Great experience.
