    Nue is a unique eatery known for spotlighting global street food tapas. Reservations are highly recommended for both brunch and dinner. For parking, they have street parking directly in front and across from the restaurant. Inside, they have some rustic and quirky decor with a decent amount of seating. For their menu, they have a very unique selection of different globally inspired dishes to choose from. Wifey and I ended up getting the Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread, Japanese Zosui, and the Chengdu Chicken & Waffles. Everything that we had tasted delicious and had some unique flavor profiles. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Stop by here for your next meal and you will most likely get to try something you have not tried before!

    Pineapple Coconut Cornbread
    Cheryl W.

    Wow. The Yelp reviews and intriguing menu drew us in, and this place did not disappoint!! For lunch we ordered the Pineapple Coconut Cornbread ($9), which was lovely, followed by the South African Sunny Bunny Chow with Rice, which was simply amazing. (FYI--it's chicken, not bunny.) The spices were on-point, and the serving size allowed for leftovers, which were equally as good warmed up later. The place itself is eclectic and interesting. I'd love to return to sample other dishes on the menu.

    The food was delicious. The staff were very friendly. The decor was cool and so many things to look at!

    South African Bunny Chow- best dish on their menu.
    Anhaita J.

    A word to the faint at heart--their bunny chow curry is a that chicken! I'm glad I read this description because this was the best dish at the place. Outstanding food! The ambience could be a lot better because the place is a hole in the wall with tables almost touching each other. But the flavors, umami in each dish and effort they put into ensuring each menu item is uniquely represented is noteworthy. Their service people were warm, but could use some practice with the international words on the menu. Would any of the negatives outweigh my desire to come back and have some more of that delish bunny chow? Heck no!

    We went with reservations and tried the brunch here. The place was pretty packed and has a nice vibe to it. We tried the Filipino Tosilog , Japanese Zosui and Tunisian Shakshuka. Each of these were very well thought of dishes and a treat. My fav of these were the tosilog and then the shakshuka. I was also tempted to try the chicken and waffles but ended up taking a rain check on that. The menu also offers a bottomless orange juice and champagne;what can go wrong with that :) Overall a good start to the weekend.

    South African Bunny Chow

    I really liked: Chengdu Wings This was ok: Dutch War Chips South African Bunny Chow Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread Nue is a cool idea with global-inspired small plates, but overall it was just okay. The Chengdu wings were extremely crispy and well flavored. Don't let the peppers scare you. They're not hot at all and the best thing here. The Dutch War Chips were basically crispy fries with a ton of mayo and onions. Great if you're into mayo, not so great if you're not. The South African Bunny Chow was more interesting sounding than it ended up being. It's a mild curry served in a bread bowl. The Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread was just okay; very dry, and the coconut didn't really add much. Service was on the slower side, and we had to remind them about drinks and entrees. We sat outside, where the lighting was poor even after they turned on the lights, and the small tables made it feel a bit cramped. Overall, the experience was fine but not quite worth going out of your way for.

    Came with friends last Friday to check out Nue I had heard about them but my friend had them on their list to check them off her list. Don't remember there being a large outdoor sign, easy to almost walk by if you miss seeing the window sign. Not to large of a space there are tables and counters to sit at. Eclectic world travel vibe decor. The QR code is on an airplane ticket looking card and the bill came out in a travel book. We stuck with water to drink room temperature water in each table. One of my friends got the Bunny Chow in bread bowl, my other friend the wings and I got the Malaysian Dahl: Coconut Mik, Makrut Lime Leaf, Lemongraas, Curry Leaf, Ginger, Lemon, Gamished with Cilantro and Chili oil. The lemongrass and citrus and other fragrant herbs adds a lot of depth and flavor definitely nothing I had tasted was really delicious. the roti was light and flakey. Also tried my friend's dished which were beautifully plated and also packed with flavor. Definitely would return to try more of the menu and cocktails.

    Chengdu Wing Tower, for the spicy and bold lovers
    Marina P.

    If you're looking for a culinary passport without leaving the city, Nue is the place to go! This spot absolutely blew us away with its vibrant international street food menu, relaxed vibe, and top-tier service. We came in on a whim, but everything about the experience felt intentional--from the eclectic decor that gives the space a chill, welcoming feel, to the playlist that perfectly matched the laid-back energy. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, share plates, and really enjoy the moment. Huge shoutout to Theo, our server, who made the whole afternoon even better. Super knowledgeable about the menu, genuinely friendly without being overbearing, and had great recommendations. You can tell he really cares about the guest experience--something that's rare these days. Thanks, Theo! Food-wise? Absolute flavor explosion on the Chengdu Wing Tower. Bold spices, creative presentation, and clearly made with love. The menu is adventurous without being pretentious--perfect for foodies and casual diners alike. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or just want to shake up your dinner routine, Nue is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

    Came for restaurant week and at $35 for an app, main, and dessert, it was a great deal. I got the taiwanese turkey rice and it was delicious. Insanely peopery but I actually loved that. Despite being mostly turkey and rice, it wasn't dry at all. The turkey reminded me of the disney turkey if made way more moist and with care.

    Tower of Chengdu Wings
    Derek C.

    A very intriguing restaurant with the main theme is being a international celebration of cultures. From the food items, names of the food, to the decor, and even the receipts in books. Service was not as quick, but there was a lot of people and it was packed so can't judge them too hard. Off to the food review!! 3.7/5 - Tower of chengdu wings - The fish sauce tries really hard to pull through, but the thai chili and szechuan peppercorn just packs a very spicy punch right to the throat. My partner had some trouble eating it and i needed some water to pull through. In my opinion its a bit too spicy for the average spice enjoyer, but if you love spice these will be great 3.8/5 - Filipino Tapsilog - The garlic rice with the savory meat and runny egg, you can't go wrong. This is a very traditional breakfast, nothing special, but they made it just right. Garlic rice is a must have with this kind of breakfast. Perfect to start off brunch and the vinegar acidity really helps with the oiliness if its too much for a person. 4.2 - Caribbean pineapple cornbread - Didn't think much of this outside i wanted a sweet appetizer or dessert but damn this surprises me. For someone who doesn't like coconut, the flakes are toasted just enough to give a crispiness to the dish. The soft inside with a crunchy outside can't be beat with its sweet cornbread. This was the star of the show and quite a surprise. Overall great experience, however the food came a bit slow, so was the service. I try not to fault them too much due to how many people were there. Still a bit a waiting for us to get an order in.

    Very cool concept highlighting different foods from various countries. Fun way to casually try out some new dishes. We got the South African bunny chow, Caribbean pineapple cornbread, Danish dream cakes and the Brazilian acaraje. The highlight was definitely the Brazilian acaraje. It was so perfectly crispy and savory. Texturally very well balanced. The bunny chow was good as well. Tasted like a lightly spiced curry. The bread did get a bit mushy though because of the sauce poured on top. Food: 8.5/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 9/10

    when my friends want brunch, i ALWAYS suggest Nue. it's fun, unique and a transport across the world. we came in on a Sunday around 10:30 AM. were quickly seated and attended to. you cannot expect authentic food here, but rather a fusion / play on beloved tropes. i almost always get the chengdu chicken and waffles. it is the perfect savory - sweet brunch convo. waffles are soft and chewy and go well with the syrup and the chicken is always tender and bursting with flavor. if you're not here for brunch, please please try the tower of wings. the spice from the peppercorns and chili pairs so well with the crispy exterior and is an incredible combination. i love the decor and the energy of this place so much, from the plane ticket menu qr codes to the check in a travel book, it really lives up to its fun energy and is a great way to spend a morning. one of my seattle classics for sure

    We had a reservation for 9 PM on a Friday. Upon entering, we noticed the atmosphere was infused with various cultures--Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and more. While we knew this was a tapas restaurant, we each opted for the $35 three-course meal and shared different dishes. The kale salad was fresh, the Portuguese Piri Piri sandwich had the perfect crisp, and the Sri Lankan squash curry was incredibly flavorful. We also enjoyed our cocktails and beer! Although the restaurant closed at 10 PM, the staff patiently waited for us to finish our meal past 10:15 PM. We truly appreciated their friendly service!

    How do I make a reservation for more than 10 people?

    Does your outdoor dining area have heat lamps at the tables?

    Yes, we have LP heaters and blowers that warm the space and keep it rather toasty 😊

    Hi There! Do you have A/C inside the restaurant on hot days?

    Hi Anita, Yes, we do have AC. Full disclosure, our space is quite small though so on very hot days, it won't be a perfect 68 degrees. Our HVAC with AC is serviced every month but given the limits of our space, I just want to set expectations.

    Can I find wonderful dishes without onion or garlic? Your place looks amazing. Thank you,Chris! I'll be in soon.

    Hi Lori, Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately most all of our entrees have garlic and/or onion in them to some degree and I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you to find dishes that don't when you dine out.… Read more

    Is the meat halal?

    Hi Miriam, we use halal meat in one of our dishes, the Pakistani Chapli Kabab. The other meat items on our current menu are not. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    What are the vegetarian options like? Is it more salads or actual full entrees?

    They do have few vegetarian entrees. One of them closely matches a kachori with chickepea.

    Does this place have bottomless mimosas?

    It was on the menu when I went last month. Don't know if it changed or not but I assume it hasn't.

    It shows brunch and breakfast, but do you serve dinner?

    Yes! Check out the menu here: http://www.nueseattle.com/menu/
