Once in a while you eat at a place that you know you would definitely return to. This was one of those places. We were seated immediately, the service was friendly and the wait for our food was not long. It was a very family friendly environment and I even overheard a couple patrons having a friendly conversation with each other. We ordered the pineapple chicken, chicken pieces on the iron skillet and the chicken fried rice. Hands down, the chicken on the iron skillet was our favorite! I would go back just for this. It came out fresh and sizzling in the pan and had a really good flavor. I'm not eating spicy at the moment, and this was not a spicy dish but still had great flavor. It paired really well with the fried rice as well. The fried rice was simple and delicious! The pineapple chicken was sweet and crunchy in the best way. read more

There is free limited spot parking in the back. You have to park there and tell the server your car number. Otherwise parking in front is paid. Heard good things about this place so thought I'd try it. Tried some dishes people mentioned. Hot and sour soup - not standard. No wood ear, bamboo, etc. Taste was ok. Mongolian beef - everybody seems to rave about this but it was nothing special. Quite salty. Bei fung tong chicken wings - presentation is very nice. Lots of fried garlic pieces to take home and mix with rice. Chicken didnt have much seasoning but it was crispy and very juicy. Cumin lamb fried noodles - quite standard. Tasty but can get this dish elsewhere for cheaper. Overall nothing really stood out in terms of taste. We went on Sunday during lunch time and it was just us and another table. I would try other dishes next time. read more

Very poor service. The manager was extremely rude and dismissive, with no basic courtesy or professionalism. The way I was spoken to made me feel uncomfortable and disrespected. Overall, the experience was disappointing and unwelcoming. I will not be returning and do not recommend this place based on how customers are treated. read more

饭店名字叫丝绸之路，在用餐接近尾声时，我从盘子里舀起一勺面条，发现了一根头发。我立即告知服务员，她道歉后却表示由于我已经吃完了这道菜，不能免除这道菜的费用。这让我感到非常不满。作为顾客，我在菜中发现了头发，服务员本应主动为我免单。然而，我并没有提出免单的要求，服务员却一开始就表示不能免单。这种态度让我非常失望。 The name of the restaurant is Silkway Halal Cuisine and towards the end of my meal, I scooped a spoonful of pasta from my plate and found a hair. I immediately informed the waitress, who apologized but said that since I had already finished this dish, she could not waive the charge for it. This was very upsetting to me. As a customer, I found the hair in my dish and the waitress should have offered to waive the bill for me. However, I did not ask for a free meal and the waitress stated right off the bat that I could not get a free meal. I was very disappointed by this attitude. read more

Xinjiang cuisine is one of my favorite Chinese style food. I've dined in at Silkway a couple of times in the past. Due to COVID, they're currently open for take-outs only. We ordered 3 items and, man, the bill was $7x something. The prices have definitely gone up quite a bit since we were last there. My all time favorite Xinjiang dish is the braised chicken. The small order costed us $26 something. It came with a tiny portion of homemade noodles. The noodles mixed with the chicken sauce was SOOOOO good. However, the chicken didn't really have that sauce flavor. It tasted like regular Chinese style chicken. What's more, they gave us mostly bones. There wasn't much meat. Besides the mostly bones chicken, there were 3 small potatoes, 1 piece of red pepper and 1 piece of green pepper, and some onions. You'd expect them to be more generous with the price they charged. It was a huge disappointment. Only the noodles mixed with sauce was good; therefore, the dish wasn't worth $26 at all. We also got Lamb with cubed Xinjiang naan. This was $2x. The lamb and naan were amazing. Both very fragrant and flavorful. However, we didn't get much lamb in the dish. It was mostly naan. Lastly, we got the mongolian beef. It was very delicious as well. All in all, the food was overall delicious. However, what you actually in terms of quantity didn't justify for the prices they charged. Compared to other Chinese specialty restaurants, I think Silkway is quite overpriced. I mean for the chicken dish, if you added up all the actual meat you got, it probably didn't even equal to one drumstick + thigh. And they charged $26??? read more

Absolutely horrendous experience at Silkway Halal Cuisine. I was in town from California and was so excited to try this highly rated place, but the food was absolutely terrible. I dined in and ordered dumplings, beef soup with noodles, and fried rice -- everything was awful. The dumplings had no flavor, the beef soup was bland, and the fried rice was dry and flavorless. The satay was hard and smothered with cumin, making it impossible to enjoy. The chair and table were terrible--I honestly thought they were going to break while I was sitting there. The prices are ridiculously high for such poor quality. After that disappointment, I ordered chow mein for takeaway, which took over an hour to get -- and when I tried to get the staff's attention, they completely ignored me, even though they saw me clearly. The waiters barely spoke or understood English, making communication impossible. To make matters worse, this is supposed to be a Muslim restaurant, yet they openly allow alcohol to be consumed inside. The way they act is not anywhere near how Muslims conduct themselves--I don't believe they are truly Muslim. For a place that brags about awards and high ratings, the food was shockingly terrible and didn't live up to any of the hype. Clearly, those awards don't reflect the actual quality or experience. This place is unprofessional, disrespectful, and a complete waste of time and money. Avoid at all costs -- I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. read more

We were looking for a place to eat before beach v-ball and settled on Silkway Halal Cuisine. They specialize in Ningxia food and everything is halal. They're located next door to Bubble Fruity. We dropped in on a Sunday evening (around 6:30pm) to an empty restaurant. A couple other small groups trickled in but for the most part, it was dead. The only way to describe the service is condescending. The waitress wasn't impressed that we didn't speak Mandarin; commence attitude. Not a big deal but just expect that coming in. At least they bring out a full tea pot and refill it. The menu is humongous with over 15 pages of options; cold dishes, soup, seafood, fish, lamb, chicken, beef, vegetables, noodles & rice, dim sum and dessert. Tons of classic lamb dishes and their roast local goat chops looked delicious (must pre-order in advance)! Lunch menu had some real cheap specials (all under $10.00). - 2x Rice ($1.90 each) - we ordered a couple bowls to go with our meal. - Chinese lamb burger ($8.95 for 2) - these were different than the standard Chinese burgers. Buns were soft and pillowy. Reminded me of a Taiwanese bun. - Lamb skewer ($9.95 for 6) - these were dusted with paprika and cumin. Skewers were respectable. - Boiled fish in hot chili oil ($19.95) - this came with fish, bean sprouts and cilantro. The crew liked that the broth was spicy and had a good kick to it. Would have liked more fish pieces. - Sliced lamb with pickled cabbage in hot pot ($18.95) - this was actually delicious. The broth was fantastic; good depth, homey and each sip was a tantalizing mouthful of sweet and sour. Don't know how the lamb was tender but still retained its bite. You can pay by card if it's $30.00 or more (otherwise, it's cash only). Prices are on the higher side; bring a group to take advantage. 3.5 stars. read more

Bad experience about their service. Extra charge for international credit card. When I argued with them, they just walked around and ignored me. I asked to talk to boss, and they just walked away. Liar and cheater. Food is so bad. It taste like raw meat and is unchewable. read more

Price/quality (3/4): Generally pretty good, and it's one of the few places in Vancouver that serve Muslim Chinese food--which is more notable for the absence of pork than anything else, though the dishes from northern China do have a more distinctive taste (and include a lot more lamb, mutton, and cumin). However, some of the lamb dishes do include less tasty cuts of meat, which can affect the texture. Service (1/1): Generally pretty good. Service tends to be fast enough, even during lunchtime. Would I come here again: YES read more

I came here with my family being totally excited to try out this restaurant. Our reservations were for 6:15pm, we ordered at 6:30pm and our first dish (which was minced beef egg white tofu soup) did not come out until 7:20pm! We had to ask them twice to follow up with our order. That alone already left a bad taste, not to mention the soup was bland and there was maybe 5 tiny pieces of minced beef in a large serving pot. Next, came a shredded beef wrap, after scooping the beef up, there was about 2 tablespoons of oil sitting on the bottom. We also order kung pao chicken and spicy pocket beef (you put the beef into a fried "pocket" once again.... Extremely greasy and not satisfying! Even Macdonald's fries are not nearly as greasy! Will never come back! Horrible food. Poor service. Don't waste your time and money! read more

This is one of the few places that I've seen serve halal Chinese food (that is not Indo-Chinese), so I was eager to try it. My excitement was rewarded as I enjoyed the dishes very much. The Beef and Mushroom with Black Pepper was a favorite. The Chicken Chow Mein was good too, but I felt that there was not enough chicken pieces. The portions also felt a little small for the price. The staff were nice and the decor was tasteful. Overall, I would love to try out more of their expansive menu! read more

Our friends told us that this restaurant serves great lamb, chicken and beef dishes, in Halal style. We tried some dishes and liked them. The cumin lamb is my favorite. I have posted some pictures in yelp. Many dishes here are quite spicy though. The price is a little more than we expected though. read more

Definitely five stars! This Halal Chinese (halal meaning cruelty free/hand slaughtered meat) is my favorite Chinese restaurant. It is very clean. The sidewalks are well-kept, the aroma is light and airy (not heavy), the bathroom is clean and the seating is ample. The staff are very friendly and if you require accommodation or have dietary needs let them know for some great suggestions. We had two dishes, soup, and tea. The total cost was about $27 US (cheap!). Ample portions and full of flavor. My experience with other Chinese Restaurants, at least in Seattle, is that the food is heavy and I question whether the oil was changed. Not the case here. The food is light, and tastes very fresh. Whereas, I tend to be a blabber mouth American trying to make jokes and push the limit, I noticed that though Canadians are very friendly, they need to be provoked to start talking. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask. The gentlemen are super helpful. Great experience, however, please note that parking in the back is free but street parking is not free on Sundays. A lot of places in the U.S. have free parking on Sundays but I got a nice red ticket for $35 CA. You Canadians may have us beat in Chinese Restaurants but not in parking. Canada ey? read more

Food is super good. The Lamb and pickled cabbage noodle soup is amazing. The pan fried dumplings are all good too. The fried noodles too. Nothing has disappointed so far and the service is very good. Parking is a bit tough. There are 4 or so spots you can park just adjacent to the restaurant at 8188 Saba. Make sure you register your license plate at the restaurant. You can always pay for street parking as well. read more

Absolutely amazing! This restaurant seriously makes the entire street smells so delicious. My boyfriend and I came around 6 pm for an early dinner on Saturday and fortunately, there were still plenty of room. I know this place is quite popular as I always see tour buses coming for group dinner. The menu was huge. It's like a menu that keeps giving. It was literally page after page of delicious food, and it took us forever to decide how we could narrow down to a few choices. In the end, we picked the lamb with cumin powder, lamb dumplings, and sizzling beef with a side of rice. All of the food came out really fast and in huge portions. Unlike a lot of Chinese restaurants that like to boost their dish size with vegetables or non-edible decorations, Silkway's dishes were legit huge in portions and packed with meat. I don't know how they could cook meat this tender, but every slice of lamb and beef was like the softest and most flavorful meat I have ever tasted. They tasted just like the ones I had in China. And the meat really absorbed all the flavor of the sauces and spices. Overall, this place is absolutely amazing. The servers were funny and attentive, and the tea they serve was really delicious too. Will definitely come back to try the lamb pot! read more

Our workplace ordered take out from here for lunch today and we specifically requested the lunch special for each item. Yet they screwed up 3 out of the 8 orders and charged full price for them instead of the discounted price. They also forgot to include rice for those 3 orders. It was the Kung Pow Chicken and it was super oily and did not taste that good. I will not eat here again. read more

This place is amazing. If you want something that's not your typical Chinese food, and super flavourful, come here. I love that their menu is huge and it seems like every new item I try is delicious. read more

We randomly stumbled upon this restaurant when we were in Vancouver. We got some takeout which took a LONG time to get. Not fun. BUT, when the food arrived, I was ready to forgive the long wait. The lamb with cumin is INSANE. It was SO GOOD I still dream about it a month later. Perfectly spiced (read: heavy on cumin) lamb pieces served with some fried vermicelli pieces and rice. I had died and gone to cumin heaven. If you are in Vancouver/Richmond and are up for a culinary adventure, you MUST check this place out! read more

The best halal Chinese restaurant in Richmond and Probably the only halal Chinese restaurant in Richmond. Muslim brothers rejoice (and Jewish)! It's halal. Right off the bat, gonna mention the parking situation blows. Limited spots and pay street parking. Food Large menu, lots of variety Prices were reasonable Ordered The traditional cumin lamb - a bit fatty, but they do a pretty decent job on the flavours. Loving the cumin on the dish. Its a little fatty but full of flavour. Enjoyed best with rice or beer. Spicy shrimp A plate of chilis, jalapeños and Sichuan peppercorns. Large shrimp also present. Gotta be honest, I didn't eat too many chilis. It's a pretty spicy dish. But that's the traditional style. Again. Good beer food. Garlic snow pea shoots One of my favourite dishes. Flavours were on point, but I think the pea shoots produce itself wasn't the best quality. Still good overall. Parting thoughts The lunch menu looked affordable and reasonable The decor was exactly as I envisioned it to be: traditional and fancy. I'd come back Probably the best place that I know for its specific niche in richmond. read more

This place is one of the most rare Chinese restaurants that actually serve halal meat!!! Thats already worth five stars, but I am going to be fair and judge based on everything. I have eaten here for about four times, in all times the service was okay and the server actually remembered me (which is not always the case with some other places I went for about 7 times). The food is tasty if you like Chinese food my personal favorite is the SWEET N SOUR PINEAPPLE CHIKEN! Definitely try it! The location is really good too, its 5 minute walk from Brighouse station, for those who don't drive and take the translink. The overall atmosphere is also nice, they have Chinese tables and chairs made from dark wood and the walls are full of Chinese art, I personally like it there :) You can go with friends or family. What makes it a 4 star not 5 star, is that in comparison to their portions and value, the price is on the higher side.. I don't know why, but every time we go there, the bill is somehow more than we expect... In some places the price is really high but you pay it happily because you think its worth it, however with this place...that's not the case =( read more

Great chinese joint. Loved everything, the herby soup, Green beans with red pepper, the thick noodles, lamb with cumin(exceptional !!!), & a few other staples. Serving is for 4/5, great value, buzzing place, *all halal if that's what you're looking for. Definitely a must visit for authentic chinese! read more

The food was really good and fresh, also short wait times and good customer service. Good quality halal restaurant.

I have eaten here twice and found the food fantastic. Special mention to the spicy lamb dish, but everthing was really well done. Underground parking is available, it's kinda hidden away down a little lane. Decor and seating is vintage Chinese, it's a bit of a trip. This is a late review, hence the lack of details on the meal. Anyways, this spot is worth checking out. I Look forward to reading more reviews... read more

Came into grab lunch today, we ordered a few dishes one of them being kung pao chicken. When we bit into the chicken and tasted like the food had gone bad. A few of my friends were even questioning if it was chicken as the texture tasted like squid? Manager completely disregard our concerns and walked away without hearing us fully out. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone and question it, if it was even halal. read more

This is my regular place for Chinese food. I enjoyed the beef with black pepper sauce because the beef was so tender and juice and has a nice flavor and the amount is really generous. I also order the Chicken Szechwan, the actual chicken inside each bite is consistently good and feels nice and fresh. The outside is crispy. I will be trying other items on their but I can definitely recommend this place for consistency and high qualify food. read more

Delicious-we ordered the beef in spicy garlic sauce, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken chow mein to go. I think they forgot to add salt/sauce to chicken chow mein bc it significantly lacked salt and flavor. The other two dishes were great! The restaurant looked very nice-good for fine dining with family, and service was good and efficient. I would definitely return! read more

We had stomach cramp and diarrhea after eating the food there, the food was cold and not authentic, it was definitely overpriced.

The restaurant is excellent. It really exposes non-Chinese people to a cuisine of China that many do not have exposure to; Hui (Chinese Muslim) cuisine. Having lived in China and traveled extensively, I can honestly say it is one of the better executions of Hui cuisine that I have seen outside of China. The only dish which is poor is the Lamb Skewers (Yang Rou Chuanr). The stand out dishes are the Gong Bao Ji Ding (authentic Kung Pao Chicken), the Lamb w/ Cumin and the dumplings. They have added 'typical' dishes for their Muslim customers who are unfamiliar with Chinese Muslim food like 'Sweet and Sour Chicken/Fish' 'Fried Rice' which is not a Hui dish, but I urge you to step out of your comfort zone and go with the dishes they are best at. read more

Landed here at 9pm looking for a decent late dinner on a work trip and ended up being delighted! Started off with the guy asking if I took care of parking to make sure I don't get cited. Did not have Canadian quarters but he hooked me up. Wouldn't accept my ten dollar bill for change. Then comes the food and service... best Kung Pao chicken EVER. The place had a good Chinese decor and extremely clean. Very courteous waiter who enjoyed his job making recommendations from the menu. Beat of all its all halal. Will go back when I am in the area read more

Best General Tsao Ive ever had, I felt like the cumin lamb was overrated. Overall great food!
