MORE, PLEASE!!! We were so pleased with this establishment that we asked to speak to the manager just to tell them how much we enjoyed it. So, what happened was, we started out at an Italian restaurant, just around the corner. Let's just say that even after being seating, we walked out. We went to Vivienne's instead. I'm so happy we did. The place is so modern and chic. The design is lovely. The hanging lanterns aren't your typical red and bright colors. They are understated and elegant. It's not a large restaurant. We felt that the tables were spaced nicely. We didn't feel crowded, even though they were very busy. It was a Friday night, prime dinner time. We were still able to get a table very quickly. The food...oh my! We are from California. We have amazing, award winning Asian restaurants. Vivienne's should win awards. We had the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. They were on point! 5/5 tasty. Next the Master Chef Fried Rice with Chicken. So good! We enjoyed the fresh vegetables and the light touch of oil for a moist rice. 5/5 again. Also ordered the 9 Spice Basil Beef with Hoisin Sauce. OMG! The beef almost melted in your mouth. It was decadent!! If I could say 10/5 I would. So 5/5 it is. This was my favorite. My husband ordered the Cumin Spicy Lamb. It had the perfect spice. Just enough for you to know it was there but not over the top. The lamb was moist and delicious. This was his favorite dish. Again I wish I could give more than 5/5. So very good. Also had 3 cocktails. The Tropical Butterfly, Vanilla Whiskey Sour and the Casa Pina. All were delicious. They didn't skimp on the alcohol. We enjoyed all three. The service was spot on. We felt attended to but not harassed. Nor were we neglected. Truly, this was a very nice dinner. We enjoyed everything. The next time we're in Seattle we will be eating here. DELICIOUS!! read more

OMG!! Do not skip this place if you are in downtown Seattle. I am disappointed that I couldn't eat more! We are staying at the Sheraton and wanted something close. We walked by Vivienne's on the way to another restaurant and looked in the windows as we passed by. The food look enticing. We ended up walking out of the first place and going over to Vivienne's. We were glad that we did!! The staff sat us right away and patiently answered our questions. We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts and a couple of drinks to start. The drinks were tasty, as we're the Brussels sprouts. The star of the show was the entrees. We ordered the Nine Flavor Basil Beef, Cumin Spicy Lamb, and Master Chef Fried Rice with chicken. They were all top notch, deliciously spicy. The fried rice was a nice offset to the spicy lamb. I cannot describe how tasty it all was! We are from California, and in town for a wedding. We have the full range of Asian cuisine, some good some...OK at best. Vivienne's is the kind of place I wish we had in my hometown. I would eat here all the time! read more

Vivienne's Bistro is definitely a step above your traditional Chinese food. The modern take on classic Chinese dishes blew me away. I craved Peking duck and it didn't disappoint. With a simple addition of a candied lemon, the Peking duck was elevated with new flavors but still remained true to what the dish should be: it was sweet, succulent, and had me craving more. The restaurant itself has a modern vibe that is a little more upscale. The staff were very helpful on choosing the right drinks and dishes which made my visit enjoyable. I would come back to try the other dishes. read more

This place is so great! It has a modern vibe with some traditional Asian artwork and pottery. We ordered the Peking duck and the woodear cucumber salad and both came out quickly and was delicious. They add these caramelized lemons to eat with the duck that gave the bite sweetness and acid, and it was just sooo good. A nice spin on such a traditional dish!! I'd recommend definitely sharing the duck between 2-3 people as it is quite large. The service was friendly too and it was nice seeing the owner walking around as well. Would definitely recommend to locals and visitors alike. read more

Went here for our trip to Seattle and this was the first time trying Vivienne's Bistro. I will start by saying the customer service was great, and I enjoyed the alc drinks. In my honest opinion, the food tasted like an elevated & fancier Panda Express. The only dish I liked that didn't taste like it was the pork chops. Food also could've been seasoned more. Not coming back, but if you like Panda? This might be for you. read more

After seeing the ratings and the amount of money that we spent, we expected the food to be spectacular. Grilled ribeye was tough, even though cooked medium rare. It chewed like a piece of USDA Select. Pork+shrimp wonton soup had an extreme amount of ginger in the wontons. My teenagers usually love fried rangoon, but each had one bite and never touched them again. The Kalbi short ribs were good, the best dish we ordered. Nobody at the table wanted to eat the Okra eggplant after the initial bite. We really wanted to like the food, but, unfortunately, we weren't able to. read more

Delicious cocktails and food with fast, friendly service. The room is noisy especially when it is busy.

Wanted some small bites to eat in the afternoon, however this filled up two people more than we expected. General Tso's had a rich, creamy sauce with a tang but hot spicy. Rice is separate, if wanted. The wontons came in a wonderful garlic and oyster sauce broth that really impressed us. Great service, very quick. read more

Located inside the Sheraton Grand Seattle Hotel, Vivienne's Bistro is an Asian-esque restaurant that can be accessed from the street or within the hotel. The primary reason for low rating was due to the service. The server, Tony, was insulting, arrogant, and showed no concern or respect for customers. I was absolutely floored how he was so blatantly rude. The food in general was just good. The portion size is small. One main dish is really just enough for one person. We ordered the Grilled Tofu, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Szechuan Style Green Beans, Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Orange Peel Chicken, Kung Pao Surf & Turf, Mapo Tofu Fish. Most of the dishes were good (not great), with the exception of the Steamed BBQ Pork buns. They were NOT good. Very little filling and it was over-steamed as the bread was mushy. I would not order this again. The Grilled Tofu was just ok. Also note that it is soft tofu that they grill, not the firm tofu. The Mapo Tofu Fish was disappointing in that you cannot tell if there is any actual fish in the dish. If you pay real close attention and sift through the sauce, you may find a "big" enough piece to actually identify it as fish. The flavor itself was fine but I wouldn't call it Mapo Tofu FISH if it's that hard to find the fish. This is where Tony's true personality and arrogance showed up. After our meal, he asked how everything was. I expressed to him that the Mapo Tofu Fish was disappointing in the you couldn't really tell there was any fish. Tony then proceeds to tell me that maybe in the future, instead of ordering Mapo Tofu Fish, I should order FISH Mapo Tofu. Really??? He's saying that I ordered incorrectly? Mind you, there is no such dish available. So he's not only being rude, he's throwing shade at me?!! I could not believe it. First, do NOT ask the customer how everything was if you do not want to hear their answer. Second, if you do receive an answer you do not like, how about saying something like, "I'll pass that thought along, or I'm sorry it wasn't to your liking, sorry to hear that, I hope you like the other dishes." Instead Tony decides to be upset at my opinion, be rude, and then give me an attitude? HORRIBLE customer service. Truly unbelievable. Never again will I come here because of the service. read more

General tsos and green beans was very good. The pumpkin curry had a great flavor but the chicken was a little chewy in it. The potstickers were good as well. read more

Convenient downtown location for power lunch. Not pulling punches on flavors. Twice cooked pork like my grandma used to make.

This review is based on takeout. If an Asian restaurant doesn't include chopsticks as part of "utensils" it's not really an Asian restaurant. And the utensils they did include were very flimsy. Their entrees also don't come with rice which you have to order separately and an order is literally one ice cream scoop. read more

Had probably some of the best soft Chow main noodles I've had! Service was excellent and our server Raven was authentically nice! read more

This location for Vivienne's is new and obviously working out the kinks. No less than 3 items ordered were 86, or missing or can not. But, the service was apologetic and what they did have was mostly yummy. The Squid ink rice with cheese was the most incongruous item I have ever eaten an Asian restaurant. I quizzed the staff and they were equally befuttled. The Pea Vines were absolutely magic! When a simple plate of greens makes you "tear up" you have to be respectful. Some items over woked, or sauced. Garlic Dumplings sublime. read more

I frequent this location often because of the distance from my office. Always pleasantly surprised by the quality of customer service from the staff and speed of the food arriving gets me in and out in the short time I have available. My recent visits (Tuesday) seem to be the opposite. The restaurant was not much more busy than usual however it seemed less staffed than usual My usually 20-30 minute lunch turned to 45 minutes. Looks like it was understaffed but I appreciate the effort from the staff they were apologetic about the longer wait time. I'll have to call ahead next time to see what the wait is before I come back. Food was great per usual, staff was great and nice. Just turned away from the longer wait time. read more

Went here for a work dinner and dined in at their group dining area upstairs. It was a bit noisy on a popular weekday night, but it's a fun environment. Several vegan and vegetarian options. Very kind servers and fun environment. read more

As good as always! The pineapple prawn is fantastic. And the service by Raven is also great!

Had the best food and most amazing waitress! Thank you Raven for making my mom's 77th Birthday special. Raven had a sparkling personality and was a great waitress We will be back every time we attend a show at the 5th Ave. read more

The food is Chinese-centric, but there are plenty of inventive twists on familiar dishes. I loved the honey walnut prawns with green apple. The royal duck is bonkers good. I also have not been able to stop craving the Master Chef Noodle dish. We had a table for 8 and the service was as good as the food. It was loud inside, but in a festive way that did not impede conversation. I ordered delivery a week later because I wanted more noodles, and I also ordered general tso prawns that were great. read more

A friend in our group suggested this place for a late joined birthday get together so we all went last night. The restaurant is beautifully decorated without being over the top, relatively busy but wasn't too crowded (we had reservation at 6pm Friday evening). We ordered a lot of food including. The Peiking duck, honey walnut prawns, fried pork belly, chef noodle, wood ear and cucumber salad and bunch more. I was pleased that it wasn't oily or overly seasoned and the taste was just right. The rice we asked for was a bit dry and came later when some of the food was served. The mocktails were delicious. Our table's waitor Isaac was attentive, nice and made us feel welcome and went taken care of! The establishment seemed rather "new" so they haven't gotten their drink list or dessert menu worked out yet, and sometimes I saw the disconnection in communication among servers, bar. I'm sure they'll work out the logistics and way, and we'll definitely be back to try other dishes! read more

We were a group of 4 and had dinner before watching Jimmy O Yang show at the Paramount and it was the perfect start to our evening. We started with cucumber salad, shrimp egg roll, and Brussels sprouts. All delicious and the sauces that came with the apps complimented even more. Our entree we ate were: fish with ginger and scallions, pineapple sweet and sour shrimp, tofu curry, pork chops, and green beans. All sooo delicious! Then ended with chocolate ganache and pumpkin mochi donuts. Friendy staff and great setting. Excited to go back with more friends. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and when the downtown location opened, bingo! The space is beautiful and the staff very friendly. We ordered a handful of items: wonton with black garlic sauce, lobster Rangoon, chicken lollipops, broccoli and chicken, nine flavor beef and the chef's noodles. While everything was good, nothing really wowed me. The portion sizes were enough for four but the prices seemed a bit high. read more

I was so excited and happy with this place I forgot to let my camera eat first! Had the salt and pepper chicken which was absolutely amazing, not crazy spicy but the flavor and texture was great. Followed this up with a steak fried rice and was very pleased with the result. I only wished that I came with more people as their portions were very generous. As for the atmosphere the place is in a premiere spot with great service and a really upscale feeling for a great price. Would highly recommend this place to others to try! read more

Decided to try this spot as we wanted to grab a quick lunch. The staff was very nice and friendly and all of the service was super speedy. It's a cute restaurant with corner views and bright open windows. As for the food, I personally consider it a miss and expensive for what you get. I thought the shu mai dumplings were a bit weird and the bell peppers add on seemed weird. The chicken and shrimp dish was fine but def not worth the amount we paid, I think it was about 23-26 ish for that plate. I just thought it was mid and I feel like you could find something better for a cheaper price. Overall it's a nice spot if you want a fancier feel but the food itself is mid at best. read more

My first time visiting Seattle has been nothing but a wonderful experience. I have heard many good reviews and have been excited to try this asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Seattle. My husband and I were seated at the bar and the bartender Brian was super friendly and very attentive despite the restaurant getting slammed with a rush. The drinks were superb and the entrees exceeded my expectations as an asian fusion establishment. I personally loved the seasoning on the forbidden roast duck and the fried rice was phenomenal. I definitely recommend stopping by Viviennes Bistro if you ever find yourself craving asian cuisine in downtown Seattle. The ambiance and friendly staff made this experience 10/10. read more

I came to Vivienne's Bistro hungry and left emotionally fulfilled. From the second we sat down, our server Brian understood the assignment. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and somehow always appearing exactly when we needed him. His recommendations were on point, pacing was perfect, and he made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun instead of rushed or stiff. As for the food, I can tell this is the kind of place where the kitchen actually cares about what they're sending out, not just pushing plates. If you're debating where to eat, stop debating. Go to Vivienne's Bistro. And if Brian's working, you're in very good hands. read more

The food wasn't bad here at all but the food was a bit under seasoned. We could have used some salt on the table as a result, but there was none. The honey walnut prawns did however have excellent flavor, so much si that I found d myself putting some if the sauce on my rice. The rib steak rice tasted good but only came with 7 small pieces of steak on top and at $28, is a total rip-off in my opinion!!! Add more steak or lower the price and this dish will be a winner!!! The kalbi ribs were very flavorful but there was no knife given to us with the dish or provided as part of our silverware set-up, so we're were forced to eat them with our hands "cave man" style!!! Overall not a bad experience. The food is a bit on the pricey side however, which I guess is to be expected since it us downtown Seattle. PS, I didn't get my discount for having ACT theater tickets despite showing the tickets to our server!!! read more

Let's talk about the food I ordered and limit the discussion to these 2 dishes. Squid ink fried rice. There was a little too much of mozzarella cheese on top. It's not spaghetti, it's Asian rice. Probably could have been better instead of a loaded mozzarella fried rice, it is topped with Asian spices or even just simply green onions. And add more of shrimps and bacon. They were there, but a few far and between. You just gotta look for it. Crispy fried pork belly. Very simply flavored and done very well. Crispy. It comes in thin slices. I was expecting it to be in chunks. This could have been a better experience if it came with a dipping sauce to enhance the flavor and not leave your mouth dry. Remember, it's fried and of course it will be greasy. The restaurant has modern decor and I was thinking this may be an Asian fusion restaurant. I would say, leaning towards there. But their description is contemporary. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday during their soft opening. I love the interior decoration. Between 4 people we ordered 5 dishes with white rice on the side. Favorite dish was the triple pepper chicken. It had a nice kick to it that's not too spicy. Disclaimer: I love spicy food so I probably have a high tolerance for spicy food. Another favorite was the crispy Brussels sprouts! I enjoyed the herb aioli. Least favorite dish was the squid ink baked rice. It just wasn't special to me. The cheese hardened up quickly. I love lychee and the lychee mojito with a shot of vodka was dangerously delicious! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable with the menu. The birthday girl got a ceramic tea cup at the end of the night. Overall a great experience. I would totally come back to try their Peking duck. read more
