This is hands down the best asian restaurant I’ve ever been to. The restaurant week menu is 10/10 every dish is the best I’ve had.

Everything was delicate and delicious. Yes, the portion is small but you pay for the freshness, the craftsmanship, and the attention to detail.
Updates: While we really appreciate the concept from the chef, the service should be improved to match the price, the front end service was subpar. Also, toilet was really dirty!! (Had to deduct a star from that). Lastly, I do not recommend the restaurant week menu it was not worth it. The dim sum quality was different.

Food is decent but for the LOVE OF GOD lower the pricing. Shrimp cheung fan for $13 LOL! This is mainly to fool people who haven't had dimsum before. Go to ocean palace, crown seafood or any dimsum in bellaire. This place needs to be shut down for bamboozling people. Go spend your $100 somewhere else. You're welcome.

Silk Road is a hidden gem- literally- hidden in a Marriot Courtyard. Lol the food and cocktails were - simply put- sublime. A few of the dishes I had before only in China. Shrimp Rice noodle and the mushroom bun were perfect and the tofu skin pork was better than I’ve had in China. Make a reservation and GO!!

This place is a hidden gem tucked inside the Courtyard Hotel. The dim sum here is incredibly delicate. You can tell everything is handmade, even the chili oil. I tried almost the entire menu, and we loved every single dish.
The lava bao was so soft, filled with rich, sweet egg yolk.They disappeared before I could even snap a photo. The egg tart instantly brought me back to the ones I had in Hong Kong. The shrimp rice noodle rolls were smooth and beautifully presented. The crispy tofu skin with shrimp also goes perfectly well with sweet plum sauce. Ha Gao, Shumai, Juicy Dumpling, spareribs, custard bun and chasiu pork bun are also delicious. I don’t know how can they make the bun super soft.
Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Perfect for hosting guests. I’ll definitely be coming back.

The overall experience at Solk Road was excellent. However, offering a pre- or post-dinner beverage, such as dark plum juice with crushed ice, would elevate the dining experience even further.

The location is so strange. It is in a courtyard Marriott….but the food is excellent. The menu is a bit limited, but everything was amazing. Our group of 6 ordered almost one of everything and then ordered a second round of the same. Service was friendly. Definitely worth going again.
Hot take: This might be the best dim sum in the city. You certainly pay a premium, don’t get me wrong, but every dish we got was good with no regrets.
What we got: Egg tarts Char siu bao Pork shortrib Tofu skin rolls Siu Mai Cheung fun, crispy shrimp
I would very much like to go again.

Tucked away inside a hotel...but a must try for dim sum enthusiasts. Compared to most if not all dim sum spots in the area, Silk Road provides a refined approach to dim sum while still keeping it traditional. Elegant environment/atmosphere, excellent service by Sean and staff, accompanied by great dishes. Bit on the pricier side to your typical dim sum restaurant but worth it for the experience and flavors offered here.

Our server was so nice he provided excellent service! The food was delicious, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. That said, the overall menu felt very carb-heavy, with most of the dishes centered around buns, dumplings, etc. I would have loved to see more options that highlighted proteins and vegetables, like steamed greens, or light seafood plates. It would really help balance the meal and offer something for those looking for variety beyond starches.
