It's been a few years since I've been to Silk Road, and I have to say, it has improved leaps and bounds. Hand pulled noodles are actually available (love the soup noodles the best - less so the stir fried noodles) lamb kebabs are still AMAZING, and staff are much friendlier, if not harried. There is a nice family feel to this place too. The restaurant has also renovated its decor to be a bit more welcoming.
Try to make a reservation or arrive earlier in the evening - this place is usually RAMMED with my Chinese brethren (a good sign that the food is good) and you'll have to wait for a seat! You can order your food while you're waiting however, for it to arrive when you do get a seat. Beware - the menu I believe only comes in Chinese, so it is good to go with someone who can read it (the wait staff all speak English though!)
As well - because the place is small, you may be elbowing people when you do get a seat. Expect your clothing to smell like cumin after your visit.
