Best dim sum inside the loop. And arguably in all of Houston. Xia Long Bao was best I’ve had in Houston. Very comparable to a recent visit to Din Tai Fung. Overall service and food and value is excellent. Will be back to try many other items on the menu ! Don’t miss the pandan butterfly pea tea and their house made chili oil !

We tried this restaurant as a couple to see if we would want to order carry out for a party. Our waiter was extremely helpful explaining dishes to us & recommending some choices. All the food was freshly & deliciously prepared. We placed a large order for our party & were extremely pleased with all the choices, packaging, quality. We highly recommend this wonderful Asian place.

Delicious hidden gem! Must try

I was underwhelmed with the food, especially for the price. There a lot of much cheaper places in Houston that serve better dimsum. I cannot recommend this place to anyone and I left the restaurant disappointed.

Yes! It is the lobby of a Courtyard by Marriott. Marriott would be LUCKY to have SILK ROAD in all their hotels... probably would sell more rooms! Food was traditional and included imaginative and innovative touches. Stand outs were on their Lunar NY menu - fabulous. Traditions had slightly elevated gastronomic touches. It is loud, smells amazing and can have slow "bar" service - but we went with it. In what has become my regular "toast tab" eff ups... we saw the total and tipped - then got the itemized bill and realized we had been overcharged (server said - sorry, someone else ate your dish- then we got charged for it twice!) so check you tab prior to paying to ensure what you ordered is in fact what you got (management - let me see my bill first - you are moving so fast mistakes can happen - on both sides!) - it was fixed quickly but only for the overcharge - which we had no problem with - had it been three dishes... hmmm we would have done a do over on the tab and had them redo the whole bill. Still giving 5 stars - all the way around - and will definitely go back.

Way overpriced for dumplings and tapas. They charged us $13 each for three Shirley Temples. $20 per order of fried rice, $22 for noodles. The food is decent but not great.
Service was awful. We ordered drinks. 5min later we ordered food for the kids and i asked about the drinks and was told they will be right out. The food for the kids came and the adults ordered food and i asked about the drinks again and was told they will check. Our food comes and still no drinks. Waitress was rarely around. Constantly had to ask for water.
If this place was not in a Courtyard Marriot it would be mediocre. Since it is, it really has nothing to offer that is not done better elsewhere.

We have dined here a few times. Last time, about a week ago, we were told one of the dishes was on the house. When asking for the check, we briefly looked at the bill on their tablet screen, paid and tipped generously, then went home.
Upon checking the printed receipt, we discovered the problem. Yes, the dish “on the house” was comped, but a glass of wine we never ordered was added for the exact same amount.
I emailed them about it very politely, and one week later still no reply. This is not about the $13, it’s about the attitude.
To customers: check your bill. To the restaurant: congratulations, you made $13 and lost two affectionate customers .

I had such a pleasant Valentine’s Day dinner date here! The food was incredible. The waiter helped my date and I pick out the perfect dishes. He also helped us pick the perfect cocktails based on our favorite drinks. The atmosphere was wonderful with the live music. I can’t wait to go back! 10/10 recommend!
Give this place a try and keep it in business! It's a delicious dim sum restaurant that is inside the loop. It's kid-friendly with high chairs and kid-friendly dinnerware available. Yes, I don't mind being sat near the bar on the more casual side as a walk-in; it's what this city mom needs! Don't need the higher price tag & slower service but glad to see it busy. Standouts for us were the custard bao & the Baked BBQ Pork Bun.

Amazing dim sum with very attentive, helpful staff. We’ve lived in both New York and San Francisco but this may be the best dim sum meal we’ve ever had. The crispy shrimp, har gow and chive dumplings are spectacular. The tea selection is first rate. We almost turned away when we saw it was located inside a Marriott and I am so glad we did not. This is a truly top-notch restaurant at very modest prices. It’s not to be missed.

Just left this location. The restaurant only had a few guests and I waited for over 10 minutes after being seated without anyone even coming to the table. Wait staff were there, just not paying attention to the tables.
