Seattle’s Vietnamese Cafe Chain Coffeeholic Is Expanding to Wallingford | Eater Seattle

"On June 26 the restaurant is staging a wagyu-centric steak night called Bò & Béo in collaboration with Preservation Meat Collective, featuring an a la carte selection of cuts like T-bones and strip loins plus a limited number of 21-day dry-aged tomahawks priced at $180; smaller plates include beef heart tartare, bo la lot (beef wrapped in betel leaves) and bap xao (sautéed corn), and a cognac pairing is offered—tickets and reservations are recommended to secure limited cuts." - Harry Cheadle

The Best Restaurants for Oysters in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Trinh and Thai Nguyen opened Ramie with the intent to emphasize dishes outside of the well-known Vietnamese staples, so it’s fitting that it’s one of the only Viet restaurants in the area to offer oysters. The exacting kitchen here serves a frequently changing variety of local oysters along with a nước mắm mignonette for a distinctly Vietnamese twist. And don’t miss the phenomenal happy hour here, where the oysters are discounted oysters and you can get other small plates with compelling flavors, for enticing entry points to the rest of Ramie’s inventive menu." - Mark DeJoy

The Hottest New Restaurants in the Seattle Area, November 2024

"The newest brainchild of chef siblings Trinh and Thai Nguyen, Ramie opened in May in the old Omega Ouzeri space at 14th and Pine. The sister restaurant to Ba Sa on Bainbridge Island, Ramie serves inventive Vietnamese fare, with a full bar program highlighting Southeast Asian spirits. The menu focuses on Viet nouvelle cuisine, like deep-fried frog legs with salted duck egg, a fried whole chicken accented with chili oil, and a butterflied branzino served with chili sambal, chimichurri, cucumber kimchi, and an onsen egg. Don’t skip the vivid rainbow of a crudité plate, served with taro puree that’s anointed with fish sauce, anchovy, and crushed chicharron." - Meg van Huygen, Harry Cheadle

Seattle’s New Restaurant Openings

"Ramie is a Vietnamese restaurant and bar from the same folks behind Ba Sa on Bainbridge Island. There looks to be lots of dark wood and forest green paint in the dining room, and on the menu you can expect dishes like bánh tiêu with honey butter, coriander oil-drizzled canh khoai mỡ, and gỏi cá with garlic chips and kumquat nuoc cham. We tried Ramie and added it to the Hit List. Read our thoughts here." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo

Ramie Review - Capitol Hill - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This dark wood-blasted sister spot to Bainbridge Island’s Ba Sa is Seattle’s fanciest Vietnamese restaurant. In a city that has an abundance of casual restaurants serving bánh mì, pho, and bún, it’s refreshing to see a menu that involves frothy pandan-infused cocktails, crudo topped with nước chấm sorbet, and wagyu carpaccio with porcini ash. But even with some standout dishes, Ramie is ultimately underwhelming—a good-but-not-great Capitol Hill special occasion backup plan. photo credit: Suzi Pratt photo credit: Suzi Pratt photo credit: Suzi Pratt photo credit: Suzi Pratt photo credit: Suzi Pratt Sure, the space is snazzy—with usual suspects like elegant stoneware and furniture that looks plucked from the lobby of an architecture firm. But that doesn’t matter if everything else is kind of a yawn. There’s not much activity buzzing even amidst peak dinnertime. And though the food is fine, it lacks the spark that would otherwise make our fingers dance across a phone screen to text friends. Beautiful scored-and-seared oyster mushrooms plead for salt. A dish of beef tallow-coated corn is diluted by egg yolk. And a glassy-glazed black bean mousse resembles Yoplait Whips’ early aughts heyday and not much else. Not everything’s forgettable. Ramie’s best dishes include puffy hollow bread that tastes like a deep-fried sesame bagel, rice rolls slick with shrimp butter, and assembly-required trotter lettuce wraps sauced in a lemongrass pork jus that adds tang to everything it drips upon. The wine list is great too, with pours like sparkling verdicchio from Italy and Georgian amber fermented in underground qvervi. And reservations are easy to nab, making Ramie a solid candidate for a last-minute date. Provided you skip the breath-compromising tequila cocktail infused with garlic chive. Food Rundown photo credit: Suzi Pratt Bánh Tiêu The hollow bread is a steam-stuffed cloud of fried dough and nutty sesame. Slather on butter that’s been filled with a crater of honey, and tack on a second order while you’re at it. Gỏi Cá This is a very nice $27 hamachi crudo. The yellowtail is buttery, pickled ramps and garlic chips add bite, and a salty-fruity quenelle of kumquat sorbet multitasks as a bright sauce and refrigeration at the same time. photo credit: Suzi Pratt Bánh Cuốn If you like consuming the insides of a prawn’s noggin, you’ll enjoy these rice rolls coated in a combination of shrimp butter, pork, mushroom bits, and nước chấm. Nothing life-changing, just a pleasant—albeit oily—appetizer. photo credit: Suzi Pratt Canh Khoai Mỡ "It’s not like other risottos,” our server bragged. We hate to break it to them, but the canh khoai mỡ is, in fact, like other risottos. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since this vegan version features a creamy duo of arborio rice and purple yam, and the snackable brittle lotus root crips add a twinge of texture. But there's not enough of the herby pesto moat, and you'll find yourself reaching for condiments from other dishes to jazz up the bowl. photo credit: Suzi Pratt Gà Nướng Muối Ớt Sometimes, the char-marked chicken is a work of juicy poultry brilliance. At other times, it’s disappointingly dry—and the accompanying bitter-burnt kale can’t save it. photo credit: Suzi Pratt Cá Chiên It’s alarming how little branzino meat this whole grilled fish yields, but the morsels you do end up with are rich and tasty, especially with a dollop of fish sauce-coated onsen egg yolk spooned on top. And we could snack on the shaved kimchi cucumber it comes with for days. Giò Giả Cầy These are DIY lettuce wraps served with thin pork slices and a variety of sauces and vegetables. Assembling your own is fun, so this is worth an order—just note that the earthy jus on the side is overly salty." - Aimee Rizzo

Creative and delicious menu, beautiful presentation, and elegant ambiance. I especially enjoyed the egg custard. Pacing is a little slow for me, but you may enjoy a very relaxed 3 hour dinner.

Don’t walk, run. Make a reservation asap. Ramie is now one of my favorite restaurants. The whole menu was delicious. It’s definitely worth it especially when you’re a foodie. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. The flavors are unique and I’m glad my friends and I ate here.

We indulged in the chef’s tasting menu, wine pairing, and dessert pairing, and every course was simply phenomenal. The service was impeccable, making it an overall great dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

I only had dessert here. The fruit salad is absolutely amazing. You get a lot of the flavors mentioned in the description, and they are fruity and punchy. The shiso and pandan didn't add anything imo. The black sesame ice cream had great texture, and the toasted seeds amped up the flavor. It could have been cheaper as it was relatively simpler.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Great place for date night and hanging out with friends and family. Would definitely want to come back again to try other dishes. Thank you to our server J for taking great care of us.

Good wine, inviting atmosphere with upbeat Vietnamese pop music, and attentive service. Overall, approachable fine dining even for the skeptics! The staff was so helpful. Always smiling while describing each dish and wiping down our table between courses. The flavor combinations were something I’ve never had before, but worked so well together. Each one was an experience. The slow dining style had us seated for longer, but we never felt unattended to or underfed. We would discuss each plate so it makes for great conversation. We especially loved the hollow bread and butter, the che tai dessert with all its classic fruits you’d usually find, but elevated in a way that wasn’t too sweet or overpowering. As for the cabbage roll, we could drink that sauce as a soup! The fact that the menu is seasonal, gives you something to look forward to. I would highly recommend it for a date night or outing with loved ones.

I love their sister restaurants (Ba Sa), so I had to check this place out in Seattle. The elevated Vietnamese dishes are amazing, definitely worth a try! Just one thing: the portions here are smaller compared to Ba Sa. Still a solid spot to experience elevated Vietnamese cuisine, but not sure if I’d come back regularly.

My first time at Ramie was May 2024 right around when they first opened. I had a good experience overall then and wanted to revisit for valentines dinner. They had a Valentines set 5 course menu with 2 options for courses 4 (main) and 5 (dessert). Unfortunately it was a very chaotic and disorganized night for them. Pros: - Food was overall tasty save for a few issues - Drinks were tasty and creative - Ambiance was romantic, flower petals and candles on the table - They printed out our customized menus with our names on them - Staff were kind and professional Cons: - Arrived on time for 7pm reso. Not seated until 7:40 (table still occupied) but could wait at the bar. Not everyone was able to, numerous parties were standing by the door for over half an hour. - Bartender accidentally splashed us in the face with water. He apologized but also played it off as us being in the “splash zone” and didn’t offer a napkin - Personalized menus were incorrect, didn’t match what we pre-selected when making reservation. Was fixed promptly though after asking. - First course (ravioli) was served undercooked to my partner. - Second course (mango salad) was watery and lacked flavor as a result. - Service was slow. Finished at 9:45. - Ordered a drink mid-meal that never got placed.

One of the bestttt best meals I've had in Seattle - and not an exaggeration either! Granted, my sample size is from my visits every few months. But that doesn't take away from how blown away we were with the food, drinks, service, ambiance and the whole experience we had here. It was hard to pick a favorite out of everything we tried, but the hollow bread with butter was SO GOOD and the branzino really sealed the deal and stole the show for us. Both were reminiscent of meals I've had with my family or with relatives in Asia even as someone with a non-viet background, but really just elevated and made into their own. It gave the whole meal a family-style feel and really just brought a level of comfortability into a sit down restaurant experience. The drinks were great too, couldn't go wrong with the options, just noted that they weren't as sweet as other restaurant drinks I've had. Altogether such a great experience, worth a try for a special treat and I was already looking forward to being able to try a different seasonal menu here next time I visit!

First time I've ever had vietnamese fine dining. It was great! The servers were super friendly and explained all of their dishes. The restaurant had a nice vibe and lots of space, I think there was an upstairs area but it wasn't open when I went. Food wise, I loved the shrimp paste rice rolls, those had the most impactful flavour of the night. The duck egg served in the shell was an interesting dish, though it was quite small. The pork floss crispy rice pancake was full of umami from the pork and the rice was really very crispy, maybe even a little too crisp. The branzino was maybe overcooked for my taste, but the charred flavour paired well with the sides that it came with, especially the onsen egg. Overall, would come here again, I'd be interested in trying their duck next time.

I occasionally go to fine dining, so ramie was a treat. We tried a bunch of different dishes: Bread was solid. Lightly sweet with great texture Frog legs could have been crunchier but the sauce was fragrant Chicken: the sambal sauce was the best one, overall not bad Fish: crispy and served as a shallot delivery device. Sauces were unremarkable. Crispy rice: nothing special. The real highlight was the mousse. Superb texture and flavor and perfect sweetness. Overall decent but kind of pricy. Nothing really stood out that made me have to return but it was an interesting experience and the ambiance and staff were great.

We came here for a huge group dinner and had such high hopes for this place because we saw raving reviews on social media. Service and ambiance were both great. The starting bread was really delicious and drinks were also very tasty. The food was decent but not amazing. I would've given this a 4 star but it was super overpriced. Would not visit again unfortunately!!

We went to Ramie for our wedding anniversary dinner last night. I came in a bit skeptical ad a Vietnamese person and one who didn't have a great experience at Anchovies and Salt in Renton so I was curious how Ramie would do in the higher end of Vietnamese cuisine. It was an enjoyable experience! The food was quite delicious overall. The service was top notch. Ambiance was ok but it could use some paintings on the walls to bring the restaurant all together. We were pretty excited as high end and experimental Vietnamese restaurants are not super common. We really enjoyed their take on some Vietnamese dishes. However we did notice that most of the current summer menu was very fish sauce based. It was very good but throughout the night the flavor profile was a bit stagnant. We would've liked a bit of variety overall. The frog legs were good but the weak point of the night. The fish definitely was the highlight, the sauces really complimented each other and was top notch. Their bánh cuốn take was interesting as it was a bit of a deconstructed version, but still very good overall. It felt like Ramie made different dishes that paid respects to Vietnamese flavors, which I respect. They pulled it off for the most part. Overall it was a great experience. I would rate Ramie overall a 4.2/5 for the most part, it would score higher as I thought a couple of the dishes we got were just a bit overpriced for what we got. But we still left satisfied and happy! Definitely eons better than the other "elevated" Vietnamese restaurant in Renton Anchovies and Salt. Go to Ramie instead.

Service - excellent Atmosphere - love that they played current Vietnamese pop music! Price for food was higher than average. But the dining experience was very pleasant thanks to the service and nicely decorated space. We ordered the Banh Tieu and it was $9. I would not say it is worth the price even with the fluffy white cream. If it was much larger banh tieu to share and so large that it's a unique/novelty kind of deal, I might have liked it better. But for the small size and standard tasting banh tieu, it's not worth the price. The fried fish dish had plenty of side dishes to give it flavor but honestly it fell a bit flat. The rice was delicious but not enough to share for 2. We also ordered beef, the fish salad, and well...pretty much all entrees on the menu except for maybe 3 dishes. The fish salad and mushrooms were definitely my favorites. I would come back with friends so they get a taste and but wouldn't be a regular here.

Food was so incredibly good. The must orders are the hollow bread, rice roll, and hamachi crudo. Prices are definitely a little more pricier, but you're paying for the quality of the food. The space is pretty large and the service was so friendly. And if you love Basa from Bainbridge, then you'll love the food here since they're from the same owner!

I've dined at Ba Sa on Bainbridge Island three times before, and with all the recent press on Ramie, I was looking forward to another innovative culinary experience. I secured a solo reservation via Tock for its grand opening on 5/22/24. I gave myself plenty of time driving from Shoreline to Capitol Hill due to traffic and to find street parking. Just an fyi - 75 minutes and 90 minute street parking for $8 two blocks away. Once I was able to open the heavy front door on that blustery evening, I was warmly greeted and seated at a nice two top where I was able to take in views of the main dining room, vast bar, and open kitchen. There's also second floor mezzanine for additional seating. High ceilings and windows allowed natural light to contrast against the modern aesthetic Ramie created at the site of the former Omega Ouzeri. The bright arrangement of orchids by the reception stand was beautiful. I was given the choice of water while perusing the beverage and food menus. My waitperson also was very polished and offered to go through the menu and answer any questions. I decided to splurge on a cocktail and focused on the fish offerings. *Ngot - Sweetheart ($19) was their spin on an Old Fashioned. Bourbon, Diep Ca demerara, corn liqueur, aromatic & orange bitters, orange peel twist and baby corn. Appreciated its strength and presentation with the large ice cube. *Goi Ca - Hamachi Crudo ($27) Fresh slices of hamachi with stinging nettle oil, thinh, pickled ramps, lime leaf, rau ram, and kumquat nuoc cham sorbet. Loved the seasonal spring ingredients of stinging nettle and ramps! Notable was the thinh (powdered grilled rice paired) with the sorbet and the herby rau ram. Amazing foil with the hamachi. *Ca Nuong - Branzino ($37) Perfectly grilled and topped with scallions and shallots and accompanied with four dipping components. These included an onsen egg with fish sauce, perilla chimichuri, chili sambal, and red pepper cucumber. Standouts for me were the perilla chimichuri and the thinly sliced red pepper cucumber. I appreciated being provided additional flatware with this entree. I had passed on the bread, other apps, and dessert. But I was very satisfied with the choices made, definitely checked the boxes for dazzling flavors and combinations. It was a hefty splurge for just me, total with tax and tip, it was $110. A nice added touch was that one of the owners stopped by my table to inquire about my dining experience. I may have dined solo, but felt well taken care of from start to finish. Definitely a worthy palate pleaser and overall an elevated, approachable dining experience!

I was excited to try out Ramie with some friends during their grand opening. It was an okay experience. I think the owner had a lot of friends dining at the time we went, and they went to the back to turn up the music. This was unexpected and maybe killed the vibe a bit for my friends and I, as we couldn't really hear each other. Hopefully it was just a one time problem! The food was pretty good, but I'd say a little pricey for what you get. I thought the plating was beautiful, the dishes were interesting, but the portion sizes were alright. We got the following dishes: - Banh Tieu (hollow bread): 5/5, this was really good and the butter it comes with is so sweet! Reminds me of sesame balls from dimsum. - Banh Cuon (rice rolls): 5/5, these were TASTY. I could eat these all day, you really taste the tiger shrimp in these - Com Chay (charred rice... pancake?): 3/5, while it looked good and was a cool concept, the dish itself was pretty bland. - Frog Legs: 3/5, not seeing this on the menu anymore so maybe it was limited. Honestly it didn't taste like anything - Ca Chien (branzino): 5/5, this was great because of the variety of sauces it was served with. I liked the fish with the onsen/fish sauce combo the most, but the chimichurri was a close second.

Missus got a last minute reservation for 2 by calling them at 6pm on a Saturday (for 630pm) in May (05/18). Technically this is the soft opening (officially opens 05/22). This place replaced the old Omega Ouzeri location. Verdict : missus rates this a 4.7 - 'better than Basa, Musang, and Paju'. I agree - this is worth a visit! Get in before it gets busy. I don't understand how they're not the number one restaurant on Yelp. Food: vegetables blew missus' mind - they were her favourite. Hamachi was the least favourite - but shoutout to the kumquat for being a nice sorbet addition. Trotter is bloating but INSANELY DELICIOUS. If you're going to order a main - there you go. Hollow bread - worth it - go for it! Frog legs - I usually am not a fan - but this place converted me. Dessert fruit cup - coconut Pavlova with jackfruit, chestnut, pandan, durian, dragonfruit, and fruit milk ice cream? - yes. Order it? Yes. Is it good? Yes. WHY ARE YOU ASKING JUST ORDER THE DAMN THING. Drinks: order pandan rice and longan rose. Thank me later. No more questions. Service is extremely courteous and fast - they accommodated the allergy easily - but everything from food to drink came out quickly and efficiently. Definitely feels well-run. Ambiance wise - there's a soundtrack playing but I dunno what it is - drowned out by the acoustics of other people's conversations. The vibe here is definitely low-key but chic - not a lot of "showy" or flashy decor, but it's modern. The only (ONLY) valid complaint about this place is the pricing (bit higher than most places) - but if you like really good food, Ramie is the place to go. For 6 dishes (dessert, main, 4 starters) and 2 cocktail drinks, it was about $200 after tax, before tip. Also there's a parking garage but it's not validated / comped since it is attached to the apt building.

YES. Elevated Vietnamese done right. As much as I adore the hole in the walls with the tacky menus with white out for updated price and authentic Vietnamese food that is up to par with your mama's cooking, I love concepts like these and I especially love that it's Vietnamese inspired. I am a fan of their sister restaurant Basa, but unfortunately it requires me to hop on a ferry over to Brainbridge Island so I don't frequent there often. We ordered banh tieu (hollow bread), mosaic bo tai chanh (rare wagyu beef in fish sauce), nam chien nuoc mam(king oyster mushrooms), com chay(charred rice), and che thai(fruit dessert). Everything was very different and very good. The hollow bread was fresh out of the deep fryer and hot, it came with some sort of whipped sauce with honey that you dip it in, the ones you find at the deli's usually are shrivel up and has been sitting there all day. I usually don't like my beef still pink but the lime juice in the fish sauce actually cooks it and it was so thinly slice that it was easy to eat. The king oyster mushroom came with "vegan" caviar which I suspect is some sort of fried rice cracker. Charred rice was my favorite, so crispy and the toppings goes perfectly with it. Che dessert is usually a variety of toppings and fruits swimming in a coconut milk mixed with half + half plus condense milk so it's liquidly, their version here was interesting. Overall, nice ambience to impress a date or dress up to have a girls night out. It is one of those places with small-ish platting that is art so don't expect to come out with a feast, but everything was quality and the server explains what goes into each dish. It still can be a spot for casual meet up, it's not intimating as going into fine dining and having to make a reservation way ahead of time. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

Wow. This meal was absolutely delicious. Came here during the soft opening. They don't officially open till 5/22 so their menu is limited but still delicious. They are the same owners as Basa on Bainbridge Island which is my go to place when I like to do a day trip to BI. Their cocktails are super unique. Don't expect it to be simple but like a journey. I got the pandan rice (I absolutely like anything pandan) and it has flavors of gin and calamansi as well. It was delicious. Started off with the calamansi taste then finished with pandan. For our food we got the mushroom, chicken and trotter (asked my friend Trinh which is one of the owners what we should get and she suggested those). All amazing. the mushrooms had a meaty texture and flavors were so good. Chicken was moist and flavorful and the trotters (pigs feet) had so much flavor and you wouldn't even know it was feet unless someone told you. You eat it like a ssam (wrapped in lettuce) and the pickled daikon and garlic cuts through the heaviness of the pork). For dessert I couldn't decide out of the two so we got both! The black bean mousse tastes very similar to black sesame with the nuttiness. You can taste the hibiscus foam. My favorite had to be the fruit cup which is made with fruit milk ice cream (i need this in a tub) with fruit on top with a pavlova crust (like a meringue). SO GOOD. Can't wait to come back and try the more of the items.

We were excited to try this new Vietnamese fusion restaurant after trying BaSa. We made a reservation at 5:30 PM on Saturday and the place wasn't too busy then. Interior is pretty modern and aesthetic. Food (4/5): Overall, pretty good but too salty and overpriced... - Hollow bread: this is basically fried bread with smooth butter and honey. Pretty tasty and basic as an appetizer, slightly oily though. - King oyster mushroom: this was very flavorful, buttery, and juicy. But for basically 2 large mushrooms, $23 is a bit too steep... - Sweet corn: this was our favorite dish here. The corn is sauteed with beef jus and comes with an onsen egg. Very different from what it looks like - so umami and flavorful, although it started to get a bit too salty. Initially $19 for corn seemed like a lot too, but because of the unique and complex flavor, I think this was definitely worth it. - Rice roll with tiger shrimp paste and pork: strong shrimp flavor and nice texture from the rice roll. A lot of flavor from the pork as well! -Branzino: whole Branzino fish that comes with 3 sauces (perilla, chili soy sauce, fish sauce with onsen egg), rice, and cucumber kimchi. We liked the perilla sauce but the other sauces were too salty. The fish was ok... we liked the green onion and fried shallot toppings, but the fish was a bit dry and thin with lots of tiny bones that made it hard to eat. We normally love Branzino and regularly eat it at home, so not sure if we would get this. Service: When we first arrived, we saw a lot of staff and plenty of empty tables but the service was super slow. Took awhile for our waiter to come by and we were all ready to order and starving, but he started explaining the menu in a lot of detail... would've been nicer if we got this info earlier because we had already made up our mind. Other than the hollow bread, it took awhile for each dish to come out one by one. Worst of all, our server splashed some sauce on my dress while clearing some plates and ignored it. Overall, not impressed with the service, which is why I am dropping a star. Overall, we had pretty high expectation after seeing really positive reviews so it was a little disappointing. The food was decent but too pricey for the portion and the service could be improved.

Went back again last night. What a great dinner experience. Everything was great start to finish. I'm hoping they add a couple more entrees soon. That's the one thing I wish they had more options of.

Originally was gonna go to Spinasse and even made a quick reservation when I got there but changed my mind because I rather get a reservation for a different day and just plan it out. I had walked past Ramie before going into Spinasse and right off the bat noticed the interior and the overall look of the restaurant so I head on over to dine in. Right as they open, first person in and ready to eat. The interior was so modern but had such a distinct aesthetic to it. Big windows for great natural light, open kitchen so you can see the line in action, servers extremely knowledgeable on the menu and made great recommendations. Let's get into what I got; BANH TIEU | WHIPPED BUTTER, LOCAL HONEY, FLEUR DE SEL. ROASTED BLACK SESAME CAN GA DON FOIE GRAS | FOIE GRAS STUFFED WING FREE RANGE WING, TEMPURA, GROUND PORK, SHITAKE MUSHROOM, CABBAGE, GINGER, FOIE GRAS. ADDED CAVIAR CANH KHOAI MÖ | RISOTTO PURPLE YAM PUREE, NGO OM AND NGO GAI PESTO, PICKLED FENNEL, HERB OIL, LOTUS CHIPS, HAZELNUT DUST NAM CHIÊN NUÓC MAM | MUSHROOM KINGARYSTER MUSHROOM, BEURRE MONTE, LIME FISH SAUCE REDUCTION, VEGAN CAVIAR Drinks I had; HOA QUA | FRUIT DRAGON FRUIT, ROSE, SEEDLIP GROVE, CITRUS, BUBBLES NUÓC ÉP | FRESH MELATI FRESH, PASSIONFRUIT, CALAMANSI, LIME, CITRUS CORDIAL I can say that I genuinely loved the hollow bread and the risotto the most. CAN GA FOIE GRAS was very interesting, I have never had foie gras before but what they put together with it was really interesting but played off each other pretty well. HOA QUA was my favorite drink from the two I got. CANH KHOAI MÖ risotto was savory and delicious. Had been craving a good risotto and it did not disappoint that's for sure. My overall experience was very great and I will absolutely be coming back to try to rest of the menu.

How many good things can I say?? The appetizers were delicious (I was tempted to order a second bread), the entrees were excellent and beautiful (loved the dipping sauce options that reflected different cultural elements), the dessert was amazing, etc etc The service was wonderful, super attentive and loved chatting with everyone. I was celebrating an occasion and they wrote out Congratulations on my dessert plate! Everyone was beyond sweet and friendly!! Things to expect: they recommend you order 4+ dishes for 2 people (we did the hollow bread, wagyu carpaccio, branzino, and chicken), entrees take 30-40min to prepare, and reservations require $50 deposit (that will later be discounted from your bill)

The overall experience was okay. The food was good, but for the price I was expecting either bigger portions or more explorative flavors/dishes. We tried pretty much everything on the menu except 3 plates. I'm Vietnamese, so the dishes weren't much different in flavor than what I usually am use to but at a higher price, but the presentation was great. However, the dessert was fantastic. Highlight of the evening for us. The drinks were meh. We are huge craft cocktail drinkers and were pretty disappointed with the drinks we did have, but this could just be subjective to our taste profile. The service was also okay. Nothing special. The ambiance was good. A beautiful place, and nice decor. The bathroom however is on the second floor, and I'm not sure how it is wheelchair accessible. I didn't see an elevator, but it could have been hidden somewhere. Overall, love that a new Vietnamese spot opened up, but the pricing for the portions would be the only reason I would choose another spot to eat, unless I was having a special occasion.

It's not often that you find a restaurant where every.single.dish. is interesting, delicious, beautiful, and filled with different textures. We ordered a dish from every section of the menu, but our standouts where the mushrooms and the wagyu. The place is also modern, warm, and the service (especially Jonathan) was outstanding. Looking forward to returning with family and friends.

the king mushroom cute is huge. Sauce is too salty and inter part no flavor. The texture is no surprise at all. These few pieces is about 30 dollars. we waited for 55mins for two dishes, we ordered four. I just cannot find my server And service fee is mandatory. Risotto no flavor just some rice. Only good is the cocktail the pandan one is okay.

Amazing friendly staff with amazing food. The restaurant has an amazing ambiance. Food is family style. We order 6 dishes between the two of us and felt just right. The hamachi is a must try I still think about it

I would recommend Ramie to experience at least once before making any assessments. Thoroughly enjoyed the creativity that was tasteful to my palette. There were 4 in our party and everyone for the most part was impressed. The bill was steep but didn't mind. Would go back often if prices weren't on the higher end. We tried a little bit of everything including a couple of desserts to share. The desserts were delicious. Don't go here expecting traditional taste and expecting it to hit the same. To me, it's about food evolution and this is bringing Vietnamese cuisine to a different level which I appreciate the skills involved. Keep it up and happy eating!

Disappointing Frog Legs Experience I recently tried the frog legs here and was quite disappointed. The legs were extremely dry, and the accompanying sauce seemed to be there just to mask the bland taste. While the sauce was flavorful at first, it quickly wore off, legs were difficult to chew and swallow. I've had frog legs before, and I don't remember them ever being this dry. I hope they didn't serve food that had been sitting out for too long.

The food was delicious and we enjoyed our meal there being from out of town. I would recommend visiting for sure. The only down side was the 5% service charge that was added to our bill? We inquired and the waiter knew nothing about it but came back informing us it was for benefits to the staff but he said he didn't receive any of that money so it was confusing who really got this money? It just seemed like an added charge gauging the customers for something they say is being given to the staff but clearly the waiter waiting on us is not receiving any of this. It really does add up because then you're also adding a tip of min. 18% on top of that. (Of course you don't have to but its the standard they set on the machines now). It's all personal, it just didn't resonate well with me is all.

Tl;dr - We just dined here tonight and my main thought walking away was that this place feels destined for greatness. Please go! We got nearly everything from the menu, off the top of my head: the fried bread, oysters, hamachi crudo, beef carpaccio, rice rolls, queen's oyster mushroom, risotto, charred rice, branzino, pig trotters, and both desserts (a black bean mousse deal and a fruit pavlova). The mushrooms were a real standout: perfect texture, balanced sweetness, excellently cooked in butter. The hamachi crudo had an interesting sorbet pairing that combined the crudo's saltiness with some acid and sugar. If it were possible to just have a bowl of the black bean dessert I would've had it to go. If I had to pick nits, the branzino's presentation (deboned, on a plate topped with confit (?) scallions and fried shallots) was a little plain compared to all the other stellar arrangements. On the flip side, I liked that the plate was flanked by a trio of sauces that represents Vietnamese cuisine in the north (onsen egg fish sauce), south (sambal), and by this restaurant (chimichurri). We also thought the risotto didn't taste quite on the same level as the other dishes, but as a mostly-vegetarian I understand the levers are a little limited. I also had their version of a martini and it was fantastic. I'd love for vermouth blanc to take off! Service was excellent, we all appreciated that, as they took our drink orders, it was already being communicated to the bar via some handheld device. Our server was also kind enough to formally hand us off to the next person when his shift ended. Ambiance: the outdoor seating looks excellent, but we sat in the middle as a party of six. One compliment I heard was that, in the space's previous iteration, the place we sat was usually blinded by the Sun's reflection from across the street, but whoever designed Ramie evidently added solar shades to blunt the effect. Nice! Last but not least, yes the place is firmly not on the cheap side, but if you've read this far into the review, it's clear I think it's worth it!

Can we talk about upscale Vietnamese cuisine? The food at Ramie was flavorful and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend everything we got on the menu. My absolute favorites were the mushrooms, the Hamachi and the hollow bread, but everything was very tasty. The service exceeded all our expectations. Our server John, got to know us by our personal names and talked us through the menu in detail. He was very knowledgeable about every dish and even shared stories of their origination. He made excellent recommendations on what to order and also how much to order for the four of us. The space is beautiful inside they did an excellent job making it feel upscale and a cool vibe that you wanted to be in. The owner Trinh greeted us at our table to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of excellent. She is super sweet. I highly recommend trying this new restaurant and if you're ever out in Bainbridge Island, definitely go eat at Basa as well!

I've been meaning to write a review of this place. It's close to one of my offices and I am SO stoked about it. Food is so phenomenal!! Flawlessly executed, high quality ingredients, and impressive flavor profiles that meld Vietnamese cuisine with true modern chef creativity. Serious compliments to the chefs and menu creators! And price point wise, every penny worth it for what you get. Staff, bartender, and service were impeccable - non pretentious, knowledgeable of the menu, personable, and changed our old plates for new ones. The cocktail menu also was well curated. I'm personally not a huge fan of mixed drinks in general but the ones I tried from my friends were flavorful and enjoyable! Ambiance is classy with very nice finishing touches for decor. Highly recommend!! What a gem to add to Capitol Hill. I will definitely be back!

Recently opened in Omega Ouzuri's location, Ramie is high end Vietnamese food like nothing else in Seattle. You must start with the hollow bread and it's accompanying whipped honey butter. If you had weak self control you might just order 4 of these for dinner. Cocktails are classics infused with Vietnamese flavors, like a martini riff with a Vietnamese vegetal oil. Reminiscent of Phocific Standard but less challenging, which makes sense as the food here is the star. The location retains Omega's bones, but with darker colors, that create a little more stately environment. And service is up to par with the price, prompt, knowledgeable and polite. I had a fantastic time here and plan on returning with friends.

The food was interesting, innovative and delicious. The service, however, managed to be both obsequious and patronizing. My advice: trust your customers to ask questions about the menu and seek explanations when needed. The fact that it took a ten minute explanation of the entire menu before I was able to order a drink is just silly. Also, you're a restaurant in seattle without an espresso machine? really? If this place can iron out its service, it has the chance of being a great seattle find.

This beautiful new restaurant introduces their guests to an array of French Vietnamese dishes. The sauces are unique and flavorful. The appetizers range from veggies to protein to an amazing banh tieu ( light bread) with honey butter. We tried 5 appetizers and 4 entrees and two desserts. It was a delicious adventure all around. a We will indeed return. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable. The manager and owners were friendly and gracious.
