The 8 Best Dim Sum Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Silk Road is in the lobby of a Courtyard Hotel, partitioned off though in full view of the check-in counter. But the food makes up for the slightly strange atmosphere. The crispy shrimp cheung fun is a masterpiece of texture and technique, with shatteringly crisp yet plump shrimp innards surrounded by a silky rice noodle. The cordyceps dumplings are chewy wonders of dim sum engineering, with bundles of mushrooms spilling out of a green wrapper. Everything here is memorable, except for the bland pan-fried chow fun noodles. Order a pot of tea (we like the oolong osmanthus), and go early, because the most popular dishes can sell out within an hour of opening." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, mai pham
