Love their food and yummy cocktails. They also always give an exceptional service. 😘🍹
Love love this place! I can eat there everyday! Great ambiance and service!
Pho Van has the feel of a large urban kitchen with large windows. There are long wood tables and a wood bar facing the street. The furniture is all metal which is an interesting contrast to the wood tables. You order your food at a counter and it is delivered to you. We tried several dishes and they all tasted fresh. My favorite was the vegetarian egg rolls. My least favorite dish was the papaya salad. It was crunchy but had a little too much fish sauce.
Wow they totally remodeled and reinvented themselves. Same great food but more casual and extensive menu. Love this place
Really good! Order the of- menu Ramen, its probably the best thing there.
Food was decent if you don't want to take your rental car out of the $30 valet and venture outside of the little city. Food was tasty but the Spanish server was useless....
Great pho. I always order the pho. The broth has a lot of flavor, and the portion of meat is generous. The soup comes with a side of bean sprouts, sliced peppers, basil and lime which you can add to your soup to flavor it the way you like. I also like the appetizers like the chicken wings. They were sweet and came with a spicy dipping sauce.
The restaurant is spacious and fancy. I've been many times and have never been disappointed.
Delicious. This is my go to Vietnamese restaurant when I'm in Portland. Love that the servers wear these traditional silk outfits. Fantastic cocktails and outstanding presentation of food.
The drinks are exotic and good. The bar is beautiful . The staff is a little snoddy but I can forgive that because the food is so good.
Upscale Vietnamese..... This is the upscale version of Pho Van and I would consider it to be a hit. The cuisine speaks to me on many levels and while I have frequented Pho Van many more times than Silk, it is still worth the higher price.
Go with the Honey-Lemongrass Chicken and certainly try the crispy rolls. (pork is your friend)
Delightful Happy Hour at Silk. I am writing a blog about Pho in Portland, so we choose to visit Silk before attending a play at PCS. I won't bore you with all the specific details, but needless to say, we had an amazing experience here. They didn't know I was reviewing them, and we still were greeted warmly, accomodated, given precise information, and prompt service. The server, Cat, was amazingly efficient with the bar full of people, yet she never looked rushed.
We ordered lemongrass chicken banh mi, pork meatballs, and pho bo. Every dish was perfect, and I only needed to request some chili paste for the banh mi. The pho came with the typical accompaniments--sprouts, lime, basil--and with some chili paste it was divine. The wine selection with dinner complemented the meal well, and all this for less than $40 for two people, including a generous tip!
Next time you're in the Pearl, visit Silk. You'll thank me. :)
Best asian happy hour fare. Drinks are original, food is amazing and well priced.
We don’t eat Vietnamese food enough. Pho VF changed our minds, part of a great afternoon shopping in Portland. Excellent service and tasty food all around.
Delicious Pho! The serving is huge that it covers you very very well! I don't think the photo I posted justifies how big the bowl is. Also highly recommend the savory pork belly steamed buns! Staff and service is wonderful as well!
Great decent food here. My friend and I came on a tuesday night for dinner (2021/08/17), steady stream of take away clients and the outdoor tables filled up quickly… the staff were super friendly and enthusiastic in explaining what’s in what dishes… we had the basil tofu special, garlic wings, beef pho and crispy rolls. all so yum!! 😋😋😋 tho i think the wings could be marinated a bit longer before being cooked.
I could come back here for sure!!
Nice place with great flavors. They have a variety of options from bowls to pho to specialty plates and everything in between. I tried the Green Curry Special and it was so good. The flavors are bold. Great location down town. Service could be better though.
My husband had the Rahman with beef and I had the Vegetarian Pho with fried tofu. Both were delicious. The broth of the Vegetarian Pho was the most flavourful I have ever had with a non-meat option! Very friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend!
Great experience.
Had the special. Green curry with mussels. Probably the best dish of curry I've ever had, thus far. Mussels were perfectly cooked. Amaaaazzzziiing!
Also ordered the crispy roll rice bowl with chicken (normally comes with pork). Very good but not as good as the green curry with mussels.
Very nice ambiance.
It is a little dark inside though.
Amazing service and great recommendations on food by the cashier.
Seems like you order at the counter and pay then they bring out the food to you.
Price point average: $10
The pho noodles are great, the texture of noodle is a bit different from many other pho restaurants, which I like it a lot. The garlic sauce gives a unique taste of sweet and spicy to the wings. However, they make a mistake on my order, so I have to wait for 15 min. That's the reason I give 4 stars, but the food itself is really nice.
This is hands-down the best place for pho. I got their chicken pho and it was so flavorful and fresh. The chicken was so juicy and not overdone. Will be back anytime I am in town.
I want to believe that once, maybe before it became "fresh," that the pho from Pho Van was authentic; that the broth had been simmering for hours to get that rich, savory taste. I don't think that's the case, if it ever was. The pho is okay, just okay. Although I didn't thoroughly enjoy my bowl, I finished it anyway. The vermicelli bowl is a better choice. I don't know what the ramen tastes like because I would never, intentionally, order ramen from a Vietnamese restaurant.
But hey, they threw on the "Fresh" for a reason. If you want to grab a vermicelli bowl togo, this is the place to go. But if you crave a warm bowl of pho on a rainy day in downtown Portland...there are other places.
Got here about 1815 seated and ordered straight away was about 3 or4 people queuing half hour later seems very popular. Food was great big portions for me got a doggy bag. Really ice place to eat drink n chill out great service very helpful.
