The Best New Restaurants in Houston, Texas in July 2025 | Eater Houston

"Houston diners have been especially intrigued by this new dim sum spot that recently opened in the Courtyard by Marriott hotel near West University. Named after the term for the ancient trade route that stretched from East to West, Silk Road serves a combination of classic and more inventive dim sum classics (siu mai, har gow, char siu, and crispy shrimp cheung fun), plus a bevy of complementing teas, including green, white, oolong, and black teas sourced from northern Thailand (caffeine-free options are available). For those imbibing, the restaurant also serves beer, wine, and cocktails infused with Asian-diasporic flavors, including sake lychee martinis, lemongrass lemon drops, berry tea mimosas, and a green tea-rosemary Old Fashioned." - Brittany Britto Garley
