5 Spiced Kitchen - Oakland

Everything was fresh. We particularly loved the Black Pepper Beef and the Basil Chicken Eggplant. We missed the old Silver Palace, so we were happy to see that their daughter opened this new restaurant in the same location. Definitely our new favorite.

The Mongolian Beef was very good. The hot and sour soup was good, although we had to add vinegar in order for it to be really sour.

The second generation Silver Palace is absolutely delicious. Fresh food and perfectly seasoned entrees

The green onion lamb was not what I was hoping for. The pieces of lamb were tough and gristly rather than tender and flavorful. The shrimp dumplings were quite good. I would order from them again, but would skip the lamb next time and pick a different entree.
