Silk Road: Rice Area's New Dim Sum Spot That Left Me Wanting More

After just one memorable taste of rice noodle rolls in Vancouver, I've been craving them endlessly. When I stumbled upon a social media post about Silk Road's "crispy shrimp cheung fun," the description immediately reminded me of those delicious rolls. Two kind commenters confirmed the similarity, so I knew I had to try it! The Good: The flavors were actually quite satisfying - the shrimp roll did evoke memories of authentic rice noodle rolls, and the pineapple bun had perfectly flaky pastry with well-seasoned filling. The Not-So-Good: 😳 The portion sizes were shockingly small - the pineapple bun was literally smaller than my fist! 💸 At $24 for these two tiny items, the pricing feels outrageous for Houston 🏫 The restaurant's positioning seems confused - near a university but not student-budget friendly, yet lacking the upscale ambiance to justify the prices Final Thoughts: While the food quality was decent, the value proposition just doesn't add up. This pricing might work in San Francisco or Seattle, but feels misplaced in Houston. Left feeling like I overpaid for what I got. 📍 Silk Road 2929 Westpark Dr, Houston, TX 77005 🚫 Closed Mondays & Thursdays #HoustonFoodie #HoustonDimSum #RiceUniversityEats #HoustonChineseFood #OverpricedHouston #FoodieReview
