Silk noodles

If you love Chinese food, you must visit this restaurant. It’s very popular with the locals and it’s because they have cravable noodles and their portions are enormous. It’s located some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 300. The first time I was there, I had the most bomb chicken noodles. They were so good that I had my partner and I go back barely a week later. Their decor is simple. Chinese design with wooden poles all around the restaurant. A few booths but the rest of the furniture includes rustic chairs and tables the same color as the wooden poles. I also like that they have an open kitchen that you can see your food being prepared. I have tried the beef and chicken noodles with a sauce of your liking but my preference lies with the chicken. The service is fast and that’s a plus considering the number of customers there at lunchtime. Such a great place.

Chinese cuisine is among the foods I had always wanted to try but never got a chance. So, when my friends invited me to Silk Noodles, I had to join them. Silk Noodles is a Chinese restaurant located next to Hurlingham Estate along Argwings Kodhek Road in Remax Shopping Village. It’s a quarter an hour drive from the Nairobi Central Business District. We arrived at the restaurant just on time for lunch at exactly 12 noon. This was perfect timing, since the restaurant filled up quickly right after we arrived. Many people missed a table. The sight of that many customers waiting for a table, was the first indicator that the meals served at this restaurant have to be good. The waiter arrived immediately to ask for our order. My more experienced friend suggested that I order beef noodles and dumplings. The waiter noting my inexperience also suggested the same. Having no experience with Chinese food, I obliged. The service at this restaurant was really fast and the food arrived in less than fifteen minutes. I have no experience with Chinese food, but in my opinion, the food was really good especially the dumplings. The soy sauce was also good and plenty of it was provided. The restaurant provides a large serving of food and none of us were able to finish our meal. When I left the restaurant, I could barely walk and just wanted to sleep after such a heavy meal. The beef noodles cost me around KSh700 and for such a large serving of food it was completely worth it. Am hoping to return to the restaurant soon.
