Inexpensive flavour sensations, tongue tingling middle plate chicken and home style cabbage are a favourite but don't forget some pork and celery dumping.

Been recommended this restaurant in Camberwell, and I thought we'd give it a shot. I have read some reviews just in case but I find it hard to align myself with the negative ones.

Firstly, the interior of the place is simple yet tidy and clean. Everything looks organised and nice (especially compared to many London restaurants that look alarmingly unhygienic.)

The service was good and the team was pleasant. Nothing bad to mention.

As of the food it was clear that it is not a typical Cantonese / hong kong style place. The food is lovely, and reminded me of Murger Han a lot, though I immensely pointed out the fact that this place is cheaper and serves noodles etc. with a look more sauce, vegetables, and meat in general. Also, there are a wide variety of dishes. Meat is pretty much standard (especially lamb and pork) but there are also a couple of vegetarian dishes available. The dumpling were pretty nice too, but the main praise goes to the noodles which were handmade and so very very ice.

Overall the flavours, the portions, the prices and the atmosphere were all fine and happy to be returning here again soon.

One of the best places to enjoy spicy northern style Chinese food! I highly recommend the dumplings, hand pulled noodles and the skewers!

If you are Chinese, do not eat here. 不好吃👎🏼
Flavours are watered down for a western palette. We should have known better when we saw no other Asians eating in this restaurant. Heard good things about this place from friends who have come here for years, so I am wondering if the management has changed.

No spice, no msg, and many filler vegetables in all dishes. Tomato egg noodles were tasteless, where is the spring onion? Price was decent. Lamb skewers were very good, probably the only thing we would order here.

I've been enjoying eating at Silk Road for over 10 years and couldn't wait for the re-opening. The new restaurant (next door to the old one) is larger and has a more modern feel. I do miss the old place but I'm sure I will grow to love the new restaurant. I ordered my favourites, Chicken with Green Chili, Homestyle Aubergine, hand pulled noodles with a side of lamb skewers. It was super tasty and I can't wait to go back!
