I really enjoy this place, especially for the sauces and vegetarian options. The garlic eggplant is my absolute favorite, and the green beans are just as good. They do vegetables exceptionally well, and the vegetarian platter is a standout with a subtle sweetness that makes it especially satisfying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is very nice looking, the prices feel reasonable for the quality of the food, and the service is often friendly, depending on the server, which makes it a comfortable spot to return to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That said, the sushi here is nothing special, and I wouldn't recommend ordering it. I love sushi and seafood in general, but at this location, the non sushi options are clearly stronger. I also suggest skipping dishes that combine vegetables with shrimp or scallops. In my experience, the seafood does not taste particularly fresh here, and that unfresh flavor ends up soaking into the sauce, which lowers the overall quality of the dishes for me. I have enjoyed the chicken and beef here, but overall this is a place where I avoid the seafood and lean heavily toward vegetarian dishes. I did try the vegetarian hibachi once and really enjoyed it, although the hibachi is a significant ten dollars more than most of their other dishes. As long as you avoid the sushi and some of the seafood dishes, there's a very high chance you'll really love what you order. Go for the garlic eggplant, green beans, vegetarian options, the hibachi, and this place really shines. read more

Service was very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor inside is fabulous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They definitely did a good job the food they say traditional but let me tell you. It's very Americanized heavy syrup on all their food. I come from an area where Chinese restaurants are almost right on top of each other competing so they are truly traditional. This realize too much on heavy sweet syrup when I come back probably read more

Silk Road Gourmet Chinese - As I was finishing up, I wanted to show how much syrup is in the food - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is the best Chinese food I have ever had and often crave. The staff is super friendly and inviting.

Despite several good dining experiences with this restaurant my food today was truly the worst Asian food that I have ever had. The egg roll had no favor at all and was like saw dust inside. The only way to make it palatable was to drown it in sauces. My entry was orange beef. There was no obvious meat in it at all and the breading was over fried and tough. I can eat almost anything, but this was truly inedible. Very disappointing. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is always friendly. There are so interesting specialty items on the menu. Ordered on of my favorites, Pork tenderloin that has a mix of vegetables and a little spicy flavor and the crab Rangoon. We had a few friends and shared a few other items and everyone really enjoyed all the different menu items. read more

Silk Road is and has been a staple for my family and I for many years. Their food is extremely high in quality and the portions are ridiculous. The staff is kind as can be and always takes care of us. Never change ! read more

This is a hidden gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is incredible. Many architectural elements add interest and keep the acoustics perfect for dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also I overheard one of the waitstaff tell a customer that the music was if from the owners personal collection. The service here is high end but the pricing is reasonable. Everything I have tried on the menu thus far has been delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Do not let the strip mall facade stop you from walking in and discovering this culinary adventure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Well worth the trip!! read more

To start, Called to place a lunch special order and was told they weren't doing lunch specials because it's the "holidays". What does this have to do with honoring the lunch prices that you have posted on your menu and website? Just being greedy I guess. I ordered a full price order of amazing chicken. What I received was awful. The sauce was as thin as water, and it actually tasted just like water with zero flavor of any sort. The chicken itself wasn't too bad but literally was just chicken that was limp, flavorless and stringy. I just looked on the menu and don't even see amazing chicken on it, so I'm guessing they thought they were doing me a favor by making it, but they really shouldn't have even tried. For the price I paid, I would have rather had them tell me they don't make it and I would have ordered something else that they know how to make. This is now the second time in a row that the food was bad so this will be my last time there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place used to be excellent but seems to be on the decline[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My coworkers regularly order take out from here. It's been about 6 years since I've had any Chinese food, so I thought I would go over for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I found the restaurant to be very clean and somewhat modern inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were extremely friendly. I ordered the garlic chicken lunch special which was only $10.95. I added an egg roll which I really didn't need but wanted to try anyway. For the lunch special I ordered the hot and sour soup which came almost immediately. It was good, your standard soup. My egg roll came next and same, standard. Finally the main dish of garlic chicken and fried rice same. It was good. The sauce was a little more syrupy than I expected. There was almost no spice either. The other places that I usually get it from the sauce is not so thick. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. I would definitely return. read more

Consistent good food. Always greeted when dining in or picking up. Top South Hills spot for Chinese American dishes.

Abundance of food at a fair price, prompt service wide range of options great takeout service

Best Chinese restaurant in the Pittsburgh area! The food is amazing, especially the Lemongrass chicken. The service is awesome and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is classy but cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of my favorite places! read more

We came here tonight for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is very nice with tasteful Chinese decor[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the waitress was great. We got potstickers as an appetizer and milky coconut puffs for dessert. Those were great and something we have never had before. My wife got sushi which she said was very good. I got cashew chicken. It was different than any I've had before. It had a subtle taste that I liked, but I couldn't place it. The only thing I didn't care for was the abundance of celery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over all we had a very enjoyable, calm, and satisfying dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Was really excited to check this place out based on reviews. I ordered takeout - General Tsos Chicken, Shrimp Lo Mein, and Crab Rangoons. The chicken and lo mein quality was excellent - also appreciated the size of the food included for the cost. I was disappointed in the amount of filler inside the crab rangoon's but they were also tasty! I'd like to try the sushi next time. Would like to eat there again - just didn't blow it out of the water for me. read more

One of my family's favorite restaurants. Our favorite is General Tso's. And we always have leftovers.

Service was horrible, food has gone downhill ! Waitress was rude ! Up charge for fried rice was first time I have seen that at any Chinese food establishment. Overall , it was just plain bad !Portions were plenty, but food just not the same as it used to be.Needless to say, we won't be back ! read more

I haven't been to Silk Road for a good while but I have to say it was a great experience. Our waiter was super friendly and patient. We came for lunch and the lunch special with entree, rice and soup was delicious (and a great price). I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and also added an egg roll. My 2 year old loved the egg roll and the wonton soup. I was excited to come back after a hiatus and I'm happy that Silk Road did not disappoint. read more

The food is always great. And generous. I always take some home. Service is excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You need to try it. I highly recommend it for lunch, or dinner. read more

When we first arrived, the manager was very rude. Even though I told her I was there first, she seated people who came in after me. The people that were seated apologized to me. Three of us -- a 97-year-old, a 70-year-old, and myself -- had hibachi. The food was good, and we gave the chef a $40 tip. The menu clearly states that gratuity is only added for parties of six or more, but they still added it to our bill without saying a word, hoping we wouldn't notice. My mom almost paid twice the amount in tips as she was already very generous in my opinion. I'll never go back. If you're reading this, always check your receipt -- this place is not honest. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. The food was excellent. Service was great on a busy New Year's Eve. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a party of 8 and reserved a nice table in the back which made for a nice setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was super friendly and engaging. Will definitely go back. read more

Food is definitely better than your average American Chinese, but the service is what keeps me coming back. My 9 year old son LOVES the people here, and -- bonus -- the chicken fried rice. read more

This was the closest place to me open on Christmas Day and I didn't plan a meal at home again this year lol. We ordered for dinner pick up and was only 40 minute wait. They were pretty busy surprisingly as many orders were lined up when we picked up. This was our first try here and you should never judge a place by their takeout alone however I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh everything was! Judging by their takeout, I can't wait to try when dining opens! Very large dinner portions and reasonable prices for the quality of food. My sister also ordered their pad Thai with chicken which I didn't get a photo or but it was enough for 3 meals and very tasty! I had pan fried noodles that include vegetables, chicken, scallops and shrimp (pictured) which was very good! The sauce was just right. My son had rice and ribs which he enjoyed as well. I'm really impressed how fresh and warm the food still was driving home after a winter Christmas storm. The ordering and pick up was smooth. My only critique is that the young ladies at the front desk were not very friendly however I understand they must be under pressure. If they are a bit more friendly, it'd be the perfect 5 star. I will update when I get to dine inside. Either way highly recommend! read more

First time try and did not disappoint. Wanted to try someplace new and support a local small business tonight - like a lot of ya - doing a lot of cooking at home so today was a good day for take out. Nestled in a "strip" of Caste Village is this little Chinese gem with a menu that makes it hard to decide. We tried the beef noodles - garlic pork and claypot chicken. All were so good - see pics - yes they look and taste good! I appreciated all the veggies too in the garlic pork ( does pack a little heat too). When I went to pick up - they are adhering to CDC recommendations - type of business I want to support - and they also have a lot of repeat customers. People picking up know them - another good sign! One other note - the folks are super nice! It's not just about here is your order and go. They talk to you - small talk right now but let's you feel is a warm and friendly business that in normal times - would provide great service. read more

we hadn't been here in some time, so the idea of going made us both happy! they are always busy. dining in & take out. good for them, but bad for us cuz you usually have to wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]we ask for a booth & are seated all the way in the back by the hibachi tables. cool, some privacy away from the crowd[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. we look over the menus-the regular & the wine. we order a bottle of ravenswood zinfandel. it's an older bottle & delicious! i'm ready to check out the menu now! 'cept it's just regular food?! we thought they had sushi, but didn't see it. it's why we came! for sushi! bummed by our discovery, we order. he got the shanghai spring roll & the gourmet duck tenders. it's new on the menu, & tom was feeling ducky. i got the fresh vietnamese spring roll & the hunan shrimp. hold the white rice. we split a shrimp fried rice. right after we ordered, the couple sitting behind us got a plate of sushi! ah, you need to ask for the sushi menu! damn it! the spring rolls were perfectly made. delicate. we wolfed them done like animals! hey! we were hungry! hadn't eaten all day! our meals took a little while. but SO worth the wait! tom said his duck was indeed tender. my shrimp popped when you ate them! mmmm, mmmm! both plates were filled with veggies as well. we can usually finish our meals, but not tonight! we got our "doggie bag"! & it was enough for dinner the next night! you're probably going to wait a bit, but the food is worth it! read more

Food is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. Sushi is one of the best around.

Tasty hibachi and Chinese food restaurant in the south hills of Pittsburgh! The service provided on every visit has consistently been quick and attentive and the hibachi is especially a fun night out. They also have nice large portions, even with takeout meals. read more

We went early on Valentine's Day before the crowd. It was not busy. We ordered sweet n sour chicken and sweet n sour shrimp. My husband's shrimp was awful. The breading was so heavy he had to scrape it off and the shrimp had lost all flavor. Seriously there must have been 6 inches of breading on his plate. We never got our tea that I had asked our server about. Finally he came to ask if we wanted anything else..."no but my husband didn't like his meal and we never got our tea". He said he'd talk to the manager. Came back with the check and tea!!! We had our coats on by this point ... too late for tea and nothing comped on our bill. Probably will not be back. We miss Kitty from China Village!!! read more

My family and I decided to order takeout from here for our New Years Eve dinner (4 of us). We ordered 4 entrees, 2 orders of crab Rangoon, and 4 egg rolls to share. The total came to $100 which I think was a great deal for all of the food we got, considering Chinese food is so expensive. I think our favorites were the stir fried general tso chicken and the general tso shrimp and scallops. The chicken and broccoli was just okay. The surprising chicken was a little bit on the dry side, but had good flavor. Overall though, I think we all really enjoyed most of the dishes, and we had a ton leftover. The crab rangoons and egg rolls tasted great, and they were probably my favorite part of the meal. One thing I will say though is the cabbage/lettuce in the crab Rangoon container seemed like it was going bad/turning brown. I would order from here again in the future even though it's a bit out of my way. They packaged everything so nicely for takeout, and the service was so nice to us when we came in to pick up our order. I used to come here when I was a little kid, and they've been great ever since I can remember. Seems like they had a pretty busy New Years Eve, so I'm glad we were able to support a local small business today. read more

so 5 years later, I gave then another chance. Bleh! Spring roll was a bit greasy but ok. Walnut shrimp and Eccentric Chicken were both lackluster and bland. I dumped all the sweet and sour sauce from the appetizer to add some flavor to my dish, Service was good but food was disappointing. read more

I called the restaurant two weeks ago to ask if it was open on Christmas Day. The woman I spoke with said "yes, regular hours". I asked what time it opened and she told me 11am. I called again on 12/23 to confirm it was still open on Christmas Day at 11am and was again told yes. So, Christmas Day my family ventured out to enjoy a nice family lunch. We arrived in the parking lot around 10:55am and the restaurant appeared to be closed. I called and was told that it opens at 11am so we waited until 11 to approach the front door. It was locked until 11:10 when a woman pulled into the lot, then approached the front door and unlocked it. We asked if it was open and she said not until 12pm. I was so angry that I had called three times to confirm the opening time and drove there for our meal, just to be told it didn't open till 12. We left and drove to the Rice Inn in Bethel Park and had fabulous service and a great meal! Too bad Silk Road, you missed out not only our business today, but any future business we may have given you. read more

We came here for Chinese new year dinner for probably 4 years in a row. I am Chinese and my husband's family are American so this was the go to place for us as I think they somehow can find balance between making American Chinese food and authentic Chinese food. This will be my last year here. All the main entrees were made from the same source base and just add something here and there to turn into different dishes. Vegetables like bell peppers and broccoli etc they didn't cook enough time, it is like eating raw vegetables with American Chinese sauce. Service is just like a typical Chinese place, they don't put enough people to serve, so our poor server is barely covering his tables well. Never come to ask how the food is... this place now turns into 10/10 American Chinese food place but 10/10 authentic Chinese restaurant type of service. This place goes downhill. read more

Atmosphere- with a location in a strip mall, you will be surprised how nice it is inside. Although relatively small, the restaurant seems very comfortable. The layout is long and narrow. The dining areas are separated by partitions. Tables are spaced apart comfortably and suitable for a business meeting or a romantic meal. Service - I have dined here several times over the years and service is always attentive and friendly. Food - in a word, excellent. I always order the hot and sour soup and it is some of the best I have ever had. I had the Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice, which is also excellent. Value - portions are generous and the prices reasonable for what is provided. If there is a better Chinese restaurant in the south hills of Pittsburgh, it has eluded me. read more

The food here is very good! I love the music and the free hot tea. With that being said, the service here is awful. My husband and I have sat and waited for a server multiple times for 20+ minutes. After the third time, we decided to give up on coming here. We never know if we are going to receive service or not. I'm happy to do take out though as the food tastes great! read more

Foods very good and they have excellent customer service. Highest quality Chinese food around. It's our go to for Chinese food.

Updated Review 4/5 Stars April 2020: I was impressed with how smoothly pickup was during quarantine and staff was friendly as last time. We had trouble getting through on a Saturday to another local restaurant we enjoy so we were glad we were able to get through to Silk Road. We ordered General Tsos, Rice, And Crab Roll. Everything tasted very good! I think I've had better sushi some places but it still hit the spot. Again, portions are big so plenty of leftovers. We would order from here again! Past Review 3/5 Stars: We ordered delivery from here the other night for the first time. I can say everyone was friendly from the lady on the phone to the delivery man. Delivery took a little over an hour and the food was decent. We ordered general tsos, white rice, crab rangoon, and egg rolls. The portions were large and filling which was a plus. The crab rangoon was not filled very much. The rice was unique tasting in my opinion. I enjoyed the general tsos. I heard the sushi is good, so next time I will try that. read more
