Came in and made reservations for later in the day. Zero problems. They entered it into the system super quickly. Came back and had no problems checking in. Placed our order w/o any issues. While we were waiting for our food, my wife took our baby girl to watch them cook. My daughter was a bit hangry so the chef gave her some buns to eat. That immediately made our daughter so happy. The food came quite quickly and was super yummy. Service, atmosphere, everything was great! We ended up coming for dinner the next night & everything was great again! read more

This was close to our hotel and I am so glad we found it. Everything we had was excellent. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. We will return when we are back in Seattle. read more

We came here after a long day out at Mt Rainier as it was next to our hotel. Wow is what I have to say! It exceeded our expectations on every level - we didn't have reservations but were seated quickly and got our drinks and water very quickly. There seemed to be so many great options on the menu so we ordered a few things to share: Xiu mai dumplings, Rib eye fried rice and Nine Flavor Basil Beef. The dumplings were outstanding with just the right flavor balance. The rib eye fried rice was delicious and not at all heavy as it might have been. The star of the night was the Nine Flavor Basil Beef. Holy moly, from the first bite it just melted in your mouth and the flavors were complex but complimentary in the best way. It was a dish I wish I could get back home and still trying to figure out how to go back to have this again before I leave Seattle. The service was also incredible. Every person who was waiting in tables had a customer centric approach and anticipated needs before being asked (our water glasses were never less than half full before someone topped them off). It was really a delightful end to a perfect day. Thank you! read more

Food is good, service is awesome. Price for quantity is a little off, but if you're downtown and need a nicer restaurant to go to this one is a good choice. It's a-little Caucasian American catered, not Asian catered. read more

Vivienne's Bistro is a gem! Elevated Chinese cuisine with a creative menu that uses Seattle's local ingredients in smart ways. I've eaten Chinese food my whole life (Chinese American household + decades in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore), and this is the best Chinese restaurant in Seattle. As someone gluten- and dairy-free, I really appreciated how the staff worked with me. Our waiter Tony was outstanding--he explained what was safe and flagged cross-contamination issues with fried foods. I loved the chicken fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, pumpkin curry duck, Shishito peppers, and green beans. All delicious, generous portions, and fairly priced. The ambience is warm and elegant with soaring ceilings, not too noisy, beautiful . Chef Donna Ma leads a terrific team, and the Mercer Island location has an even more extensive menu, which I'll be trying soon. Parking tip: valet at the Sheraton steps away--validated, it drops from $28 to $14. read more

The food has good flavor. Some dishes are a little pricey, but it is downtown. I really liked the salt and pepper tofu.

The steak fried rice was really good! Would definitely eat there again when in Seattle!

We had the Woodear Mushroom and Cucumber salad along with the Nine Flavor Basil Beef and we were blown away! Sooooo good. The space is a little loud, but well decorated, and the service was nothing if not attentive. read more

Vivienne's bistro is my go to restaurant when I'm in Seattle on business. The food is always fresh and the service is great.

I ordered the steak fried rice and a mojito with rum. It was delicious and the mojito had the right amount of alcohol:) The fried rice and steaks were both seasoned well and portioned perfectly. I'd eat here again. read more

Food was really good and staff were super friendly. I like the unique take on classic dim sum dishes.

Last month I hosted a birthday party for myself at Vivienne's Bistro in downtown Seattle, using their private space above the main dining room. I worked with Acacia to plan the event, and she made everything from organizing the menu to executing the evening seem effortless. Not only was I able to bring in my own champagne, wine, and cake, but on the morning of the party, I delivered flowers, beverages and the cake to the venue. This thoughtful preparation allowed me to simply arrive and enjoy the celebration as a guest. Throughout the night, we had a designated server who managed all the drinks and food service, and thanks to the dumb waiter, food was delivered promptly and piping hot. Top dishes included fried oysters, chive dumplings, forbidden roast duck, and lobster with black bean garlic sauce. What truly set Vivienne's Bistro apart was the seamless coordination and personal touches provided by Acacia and her team, ensuring every detail was handled with care. If you are considering hosting a private event, I cannot recommend Vivienne's Bistro in downtown Seattle enough! A special thank you to Acacia, who truly made the night a success. read more

1000% not Peking duck. Food is very Asian American, and it's decent....but pretty overpriced. Not sure that I would want to go back again. We were one of two Asian tables in this completely packed restaurant read more

We had high hopes for our dinner at Vivienne's. The food was good, we really enjoyed the soft shell crab, 9 flavor basil beef, master chef fried rice and the wontons; our dinner for 2 including 2 cocktails was $134. But our waiter Tony's service was edgy. Possible he was new; he always bent down and whispered to us so that we could hardly hear him (there was no one else seated nearby) which was odd. I asked for his favorites/suggestions which he offered up, then I asked about another two items, and he said "those are great, those are my favorites," odd. We had an item come out as a noodle dish when it should have been a rice dish. And there was a long lull in our dining experience where we didn't see our waiter's anywhere in the dining room, and no food was delivered, for a good 15-20 minutes. Service was very inconsistent, and the waiter made us feel anything but comfortable. And lastly, take a look at the photo to see how our check was delivered, which was odd too. We love to dine out, but we wouldn't return here. read more

I brought my partner here for their birthday. I ordered the Mongolian Beef and they ordered the Slow Braised Short Rib. The short rib was nearly entirely fat and inedible, so my partner sent it back. Not only were we still charged for this (which was $58 before tax and half our bill), I was charged for a side of rice I was not told cost anything. My partner was also asked if they were a full 5 years older than they are... which is not a pleasant thing to hear on a good day, let alone your birthday. Don't come here. This place is awful and so is the service. Save yourself some disappointment and $ and try one of the many fine restaurants in the area instead. We will absolutely not be going back and will be telling anyone we can to avoid this restaurant like the plague. read more

My first visit to Vivienne's was unforgettable. Just as I arrived, my car got a flat tire right in front of the restaurant. I went inside hoping for some assistance--and possibly a meal. That's when I was greeted by Jack To, who went above and beyond. Not only did he serve me the best mojito I've ever had, but he also helped me with my tire! Exceptional service all around. 10/10 experience--I'll definitely be back! read more

Vivienne's is my new favorite restaurant! Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and food was amazing. My fiancé and I dined in here the other day with our family. We couldn't decide between dishes and our server, Jack To, recommended the pecking duck. It was so delicious and one of the best pecking duck I've ever had. Jack is super nice, friendly and attentive. We ordered a lot of food and it came in pretty fast with no mistakes all thanks to him. Definitely will be coming back! read more

This was a great spot for family dinner night in downtown Seattle. The decor was absolutely beautiful! Our server Ting was so sweet and friendly. She was very efficient despite having another big table to take care of. She recommended the duck, which was delicious and a must try. The kitchen noise is slightly annoying but everything else was wonderful. read more

Food was very good. I got the pepper chicken and an order of the Brussels sprouts, both were very nice. Due to their opening only a couple weeks ago, the service was subpar which is the reason for the less than 5 star review. Food was good I hope they make it. read more
