Ridiculously good noodles. Went with Tofu and minced pork noodle, couldn’t be happier with everything. Just enough spice, nice flavor, and the dry mix noodles are very silky. Highly recommend!

Whenever I visit, my boyfriend and I order food here. He loves noodle soup, and every one he’s tried has been a hit! The mapo tofu is now one of my favorite dishes. Thank you for all the care you put into the food and for helping to make our moments even more special. Sorry, I don’t have any pictures of the food; usually we enjoy it so much that we end up forgetting, haha.

I stopped by Silky Kitchen near the World Trade Center after seeing it mentioned a lot online. I ordered the pork liver rice noodles and the cured pork version.

The cured pork was surprisingly good—flavorful and smoky! The pork liver, however, was sliced very thin and came out a bit dry. Personally, I prefer a thicker cut for a more tender bite. Also, the overall seasoning was a little on the salty side.

Great Hunan fast-casual in FiDi—Silky Kitchen brings bold, authentic spicy flavors! Food was tasty: beef gai ma over rice noodles was rich and fiery (loved the customizable spice levels—went medium-hot), handmade dumplings juicy and well-seasoned, and the wood ear salad refreshing with good crunch. Portions generous for the price.
Service was quick, friendly, and helpful with spice suggestions. Atmosphere is clean and spacious (bright, modern-casual, not too crowded mid-afternoon), though it’s basic fast-casual—no fancy vibes.

I came to their grand opening and everything was 50% off. The cashier was very attentive and ordering was smooth.

Food wise, some were good, some could have been better. Now as it was a grand opening, it could have been busy. The beef in the beef noodle soup was very tender, vegetables was cooked to a good texture, but the soup was lacking flavor. The sauteed string beans was my favorite: good texture and flavor.

Overall it was a good experience.

If you want a “freshly made” branding, you shouldn’t have an open kitchen lol. There was a large food warmer on the counter with pre-prepared items sitting inside. “Freshly made” typically implies food prepared to order, not food that has been premade and held in a warmer for an extended period until sold.

If the concept is fast-casual or grab-and-go, that’s completely fine, but the marketing should accurately reflect that. Transparency about preparation methods would help set proper expectations.

Obviously with that being said, the defrosting may have gone wrong somewhere in the midst of that “freshly-made” batch. Better check the pork belly

A simple counter-service spot offering rice noodles and rice dishes, though the quality felt a bit off during my visit. The beef noodles were very mild in flavor, while the string beans side dish was overly salty, leading to imbalanced flavors overall. It might have been an off day, but I left feeling underwhelmed.

I had the Chairman Maos Favorite Braised Pork, and it was tasty and cooked perfectly. Marinated perfectly. I got it with rice and medium spicy level, and it was spicy enough. I think the spicy is quite hot, so be aware, this place does not mess around if you want spicy. Plenty of seats to dine in.

I really loved the food and came here with my friend and her family, for all 5 of us it came up to about $79 I think but it was really good and I couldn’t even finish a bowl since there was a lot of food. It was really delicious and the flavoring was on point. I enjoyed the wall art and the cozy atmosphere they had there it all seemed like a nice place to eat at. I will definitely be visiting this place after school cause it’s a nice hang out spot to eat at.
