Silver Apricot

Silver Apricot is a Chinese restaurant located in the West Village neighborhood of New York City.

History
Simone Tong opened the restaurant in July 2020. The restaurant closed temporarily in early 2021. The restaurant's name is derived from a name for the gingko tree. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restaurant closures, the restaurant initially served food designed to work well as takeaway.

Emmeline Zhao, a co-owner of Silver Apricot, also operates Figure Eight; the two restaurants are located next to each other on Cornelia Street. In July 2024, the restaurant's operators announced it would close the following month.

Reviews and accolades
Pete Wells, the restaurant critic for The New York Times praised the restaurant for synthesizing recent New York City dining trends with Chinese cuisine. Adam Platt, writing for Grub Street, praised Silver Apricot's food, particularly the crab rangoon.
