Silk Road focuses on dim sum, with classics such as shrimp and pork siu mai, pork soup dumplings, har gow and chasiu baos, as well as elevated and innovative dim sum dishes, such as cordysep dumplings filled with cordyceps flowers and king trump mushroom, crispy noodles and gravy and a mushroom-shaped bun with shiitake and shimeji.

Silk Road also serves drinks such as the sake lychee martini, pineapple jalapeño margarita, green tea rosemary old-fashioned, dirty chai martini and berry tea mimosa.

For those not looking for alcohol, the bar serves different teas such as roasted hojicha, silver needle-bai hao yinzhen and osmanthus.
