Five members of the New York City Thrifty Gourmets Meetup Group and I field-tested Silk Road Palace this past Tuesday. The restaurant was clearly popular that night. Every table...

Free Wine, Great Service! 6/22/2006

Ok, so the wine is from a box, but it's actually not bad for cheap wine. The service is great! The people are wonderful. And, the food is some of the best American-Chinese I have found anywhere. All for a great value, you can't beat it. Pros: Food, Service and Free Wine Cons: Tiny Space more

Drunken Chinese 4/6/2006

My godparents have been taking me to this restaurant for years, and now that I am of drinking age I can really enjoy it. I recommend the spare ribs with black bean sauce. more

Happy times! 9/8/2005

This was a fun place to go. Wine in abundance, generous servings of food and a college buzz which makes this a cheap but worthwhile visit. Groups are big- which makes it slightly harder to get a table, but for a happy couple looking for great food and an intoxicating night out - cheap but cheerful (and quality food)- this is the place! more

Bad food, free wine, high school kids 5/29/2005

Has anyone ever been to Chinatown? I always see the lines out the door at the Silk Road so I decided to finally give it a try, but I was terribly disappointed. The free wine was from a box. The food was of the same quality as the take-out places in my neighborhood. The one bright star was the friendly wait staff. Nevertheless, I really don't understand the hype over this place. Save your money and try another Chinese restaurant. Pros: friendly staff Cons: poor quality food, long wait, overpriced more

Best chinese and fun evening 5/15/2005

Visited for the first time Friday night with my boyfriend...I really couldn't believe the free wine talked about in all the reviews, so I went to see for myself. It was true. And it was great. The food was so good. The service was great. On a Friday night at 8 o'clock we waited less than 20 minutes...service is that quick. And with just about every sip of wine we were replenished with more! Since we were first timers we both ordered side dishes...big mistake. The portions are huge. We ended up taking home more than half of what we ordered. Got more than 4 meals worth of great food for less than $40. I will be back regularly. Pros: food , service, wine more

OUR TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY 5/5/2005

Frank Rules. My friends and I have been going here since we were 15, and it's still just awesome. The food never disappoints, the magic wine never disappoints, and the bill absolutely never disappoints. Where else in NYC can you feel full and drunk for 8-10 dollars for a group of 4? We've given Frank Christmas cards, he's given us free bottles of wine (not the box wine!) to take to a friend's birthday party, he's just one class act. Do yourself a favor, and pay him a visit. Be nice and tip well. Pros: Free wine, yummy food, ridiculously cheap more

Chinese Wine is the Best! 2/4/2005

Our last visit, the owner of the restaurant not only notice (among the crazy busy place) that our table was missing a spoon, but also that our table was wobbly... and fixed it without being asked. I've been here dozens of times and never disappointed. Free wine, fast service, good food, crazy atmosphere... if you're looking for a fun, cheap evening, this is it. If you are looking for a pretentious evening of lobster and martini's, go somewhere else. Pros: Free wine, Staff (MVP!!), Fast service Cons: n/a more

Best Value 1/13/2004

You're not sitting in Hong Kong, although the tables and decor certainly look like many places there. Good food, friendly service and low prices. Can't beat it -- prepare to wait, but free wine makes that more bearable. Pros: Good Food, Cheap more

fun for all 11/23/2003

I have been coming here since i was a twee little student, and it's still the best chinese restaurant in town. The free wine flows, just try and finish a carafe, and the impressively extensive menu offers delicious dishes you won't be able to finish. and it's dining on a dime to boot! Pros: Wine, Cheap, Delicious Cons: Crowded, Usually a wait more

worth the wait 1/28/2003

The wine cancels out the wait. The food cancels out the close quarters. This place beats Ollie's hands down. Pros: great food, free wine Cons: long wait, always crowded, seats too close more

freshest seafood, fastest service 11/5/2002

I have never been disappointed here. The menu is enormous, in fact it is hard to believe they can maintain such variety and high standards for a song. more

BEST PLACE EVER 10/15/2002

Come on, what is not to like. It is filled with drunk college kids gorging on free wine and picking at the mediocre food. Behave well and be polite to the staff and the wine will flow all night as you try to sort out the tiny bill at the end. more

My FAVORITE restaurant in town! 10/5/2002

This place is great! The food is really good and the free wine is flowing. Definitely not a place to come if you want a quiet romantic dinner. It is a place to come to if your looking for excellent, inexpensive chinese food and some free wine. Did I mention that it is my favorite restaurant?!? Pros: Inexpensive, Good Food, Free Wine Cons: Crowded on weekends more
