The food here is quite good but depending on which dish you order - we love the hand pulled noodles delicious but one of the dish we ordered , shish lamb noodle dish doesn’t have much flavour apart form cumin - I would not recommend this dish. Having said that the other dishes were really good. I would definitely recommend this place but choose your dish wisely.
We were big fans of this place in its rustic former incarnation, so worried about the refurbishment, but fears were unfounded. It’s been done really tastefully and the food is better than we remembered it. Somehow the prices don’t seem to have been bumped up for the renovation either. The pork with black fungus, as well as the aubergine were particularly memorable.
Don't get the hype. Food is quite oily and service is average. Good for those who love the szechuan peppers flavour and looking for a quick feed. Portion sizes, especially the noodles are large and prices are decent but unsure if this worth travelling out of the way for. Would have liked more protein in the noodles and more flavour in the cucumber salad
As a Chinese girl lives in London, I’m so happy to find this place! It almost feel like tapas consider the low price, so you can order 1/2 dishes more to try different things. All good are delicious, I will definitely go back to try other dishes. Strongly recommend!
I'm still loving Silk Road after the renovation. The same familiar menu, same familiar tastes, same familiar staff, but far more room to enjoy a mellow dining experience and particularly handy if you want to bring along a large crew of people. I generally go for TEP noodles which is a journey in a bowl wading through long hand pulled noodles, tomato, egg and chilli. Shredded kelp is mellow and life affirming. Home style cabbage last night admittedly had a little less chilli heat than I remember, but I swear that stuff will keep the flu at bay if you consume a bowl of it. The only criticism I've ever had of this place is why they don't do a veggie dumpling. Surely it would be a money spinner.
