The first restaurant from the creators of Salvo bakery, located on Bilderdijkstraat, offering an elegant fusion of Chinese and Italian culinary influences.
Loved the tartare and the wine, and the service was very attentive. Juliano took great care of us and made sure everything was good, even though the restaurant was full.
The rest of the dishes were a bit underwhelming. The ribeye, in particular, lacked flavor and seasoning, although the rice was very good. Overall, the food was okay, but the high rating for me is mainly for the service and the ambiance.
I think the food menu could use some adjustments, particularly in terms of seasoning and bringing more depth and character to the 'Asian' dishes.
Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, especially the beef skewers and the rice dish, both full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Great presentation, high-quality ingredients, and excellent value. I would definitely come back and highly recommend SILK to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Wow! If you love Asian flavors this is THE ONE. I loved everything we ordered. The flavors were so rich, presentation was great and people were super friendly. The leek and cabbage especially stole my heart 💜

Last weekend, we visited SILK, a charming modern Asian restaurant and bar located in Amsterdam’s Old West neighbourhood. Although intimate in size, the venue offers a refined dining experience, complemented by a minimalist and contemporary interior that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
We started the evening with espresso martinis, followed by a bottle of Haru Rosé, which was refreshingly crisp and pleasantly fruity. To share, we ordered the oysters, tempura-fried mushrooms, beef skewers, and prawn toast, all of which were beautifully prepared and full of flavour. For dessert, we enjoyed the burnt Basque cheesecake, which was the perfect ending to the meal.
Whether you’re looking for an elegant spot for a date night or a stylish venue to enjoy drinks and bites with friends, SILK is an excellent choice. I would highly recommend it.

So I went here on a date with my girlfriend 3 months ago. The restaurant was not what we expected, when we arrived there was 3 out of the 5 or something entrees unavailable for order and my date was forced to get the whole head of cabbage instead of the fish that she wanted. As we were waiting for our order we noticed the larger table behind us getting served the fish which they said was unavailable. I find it quite ridiculous that despite such a small menu they’re unable to keep items stocked up for customers even when they’re open for such a short amount of time in the evenings. Furthermore I ordered the dry aged Ribeye and the portion was tiny and I feel like the teriyaki sauce they added to the rice cheapened the dish. The whole head of cabbage was almost inedible past a few bites. Service was good though.
