| - Before going to a show at the Westgate, I looked on Yelp for a restaurant there to try that I had not been to and I chose Silk Road. The restaurant is part of the Benihana Village with Benihana, Silk Road, and Rikki Tiki Sushi all in the same "village" with Silk Road being at the entrance.
I was seated quickly. It was early and it was a Stanley Cup game at the same hour so there was only one other table occupied. My server was Andy and he was very good.
I looked over the menu and I didn't see the duck that is in one of the Yelp photos. I guess the menu has changed. I ordered something completely different for me--fried rice. I think this may have been the first time I've ordered it as my only other fried rice has been a side with some Asian food. The Fuking fried rice is egg fried rice with asparagus, peas, BBQ pork, shrimp, chicken, and brown gravy. It was good and so different than the dry kind of fried rice side you normally get. The dish was moist with the brown gravy and it had a good amount of shrimp, chicken, and pork.
For dessert, they have two kinds of sorbet--mango and coconut. I asked Andy if he had a preference and he suggested coconut. It was perfect. The sorbet is cut in the shape of a pie wedge and it is for people who like coconut like I do.
The decor of Silk Road is red--red lanterns, red lights on the steps going into the restaurant, red place mats, and red lighting.
This is a good place for some quick Asian fusion food.
