    The belt noodles were amazing! Aubergine, and garlic pak choi, pork and celery dumplings were also good. This is a great place for a very quick slightly more authentic and really cheap Chinese food.

    I "built my own noodle dish" by mixing the lamb skewers, home style cabbage, and pulled noodles. Delicious, can't wait to go back and try more!

    All skewers have the same amazing cumin&paprika seasoning, I liked kidney and tripe the most. Cabbage dish is a must. Chicken plate is like a stew and has very different flavours.

    The belt noodles that come with the middle chicken were incredible. Just be sure to bring cash (though you won't need too much, it's very reasonably priced)

    The best dumplings I've had in England. Get a middle plate chicken to share with a side of garlic veg. This is what Chinese food should be like!

    Long tables, short wait times, memorably good northwestern Chinese food characterise this south London standout. Read more

    Everything was great! Especially the lamb noodles! Skewers are little bit too tiny... But overall excellent!

    The food is great....but it's shouty, the staff don't care if you exist, it's not comfortable, must have had my back hit about 25 times in an hour. I would go again though :)

    Best Chinese food I've ever had. Get the aubergine, lamb skeweres. Just tell them to bring a selection and it will blow your mind!

    Cheap and authentic northern Chinese/Xinjiang cuisine. Middle plate chicken was huge and the noodles that came with it were 👌.

    The hand torn cabbage is THE BEST. And the lamb skewers are supposed to have cubes of fat on 'em - eat while hot. Love the fried dumplings, middle plate chicken, homestyle aubergine too.

    Delicious and amazingly cheap with generous portions. There are some very spicey dishes on the menu. Must try the kelp, and the hand-pulled noodles.

    Authentic Northern Chinese food as it should be: delicious hand made noodles and dumplings packed with flavor and reasonably priced. Spotty service at times but the food more than makes up for it.

    Lamb shish 👌. They don't accept card and the nearest ATM has a fee. Book in advance.

    Not super into this style of Chinese food—too many bones and the dumplings were too thick - I like them almost translucent

    Tuesday night can't get a table even though the place is half empty. Staff were seriously rude. Seems all the good press and hipster appreciation has totally ruined Silk Road.
