Silk Vietnamese
Restaurant and Bar

Portland, OR 97209
Phone: (503) 248-2172
Map & Directions
The Silk Vietnamese Restaurant and Bar is located in Portland's trendy Pearl
District, know for its eclectic collection of art galleries, cafes,
and restaurants. My husband and I were staying in the Pearl District
in a condo that our favorite Austin, TX friends own. We dined out
everyday and enjoyed some of the great restaurants of the area.
This
night, we dined with some favorite friends of ours. This is one
of their favorite restaurants in the Portland area. As they had been
telling us how wonderful this restaurant is, we put the Silk
restaurant on the top of our dining choices. Our friends also knew
the owner, and because of this, we had exceptional service. The
owner was delightful and helpful with our ordering.
The decor is a
sleek modern look
with a
black-and-white, wood-and-glass palette. The bar area also has a
sleek modern decor.
