Ramie offers a modern take on Vietnamese cuisine that really stands out from the usual spots. As Vietnamese ourselves, we were extremely impressed by the quality of the ingredients, the craftsmanship behind the dishes, and the attentive service.
The bánh tiêu was a pleasant surprise—served with butter and packed with rich sesame flavor. The balut duck egg dish was creative and beautifully executed, while still keeping the traditional flavors intact. The garlic noodles were another highlight: freshly made in-house and cooked perfectly al dente. The chicken dish was also fantastic, super flavorful and paired nicely with grilled kale.
Overall, a really memorable dining experience. Ramie does a great job blending tradition with a modern approach, and it’s definitely a place we’d recommend checking out.

Really cute restaurant. The food is really tasty. I took 1 star away for a few reasons: 1. The wait time in between dishes is relatively long. We had a reservation at 6:45pm and we probably left at 8:45pm. The tasting menu itself has 4 courses but they are smaller portion so we finished them right away after they were served. Then it was almost just waiting. 2. The steak and fries dish is not balanced in terms of temperature. The steak is cold but the fries are hot. I wished the steak is also hot or at least warm. For the portion size it is a little bit pricy. It is really delicious though. But I do like the taste a lot and I will come back for the à la carte menu as I saw great reviews and larger portion size.

The egg custard is really good and creamy, the scallops are fresh and savory. The hamachi and wagyu are tasty too.
The background music is a bit loud though.
A bit hard to parking around that neighborhood.

Overall had a mixed feeling after dining at Ramie. Atmosphere is good and pretty chill. Food wise, egg custard is good and recommended. So does the coffee rub pork ribs. However the eggplant is a little overpriced and just so so. The tomato based sauce doesn’t go well with the grilled rainbow trout and kinda trash the whole dish.
Food service is really slow. Had to wait around 20-30mins after ordering to get the appetizer. And another 30-40mins for main dish to be served. The pandan green cocktail has a weird taste, more like a fail cough syrup. Maybe the other cocktails are good but I don’t know.
Good thing is they don’t charge those ridiculous “surcharge” that has been going around in restaurants in Seattle.

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The menu is thoughtfully curated, every dish beautifully executed and full of flavor. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between vibrant and refined, creating an atmosphere that feels both special and inviting. Absolutely stunning space, inside and out.

My husband and I had our Valentine’s Day dinner at Ramie. The whole experience was positive. I booked online and paid the total amount plus 22% tips in advance. It is non refundable. The dinner package came with appetizers, pho, main dishes and desserts. We made the main dish and dessert selections when we made the reservation. The decors in the restaurant were beautiful. The server seated us right away. The food was very delicious especially the appetizer and the lobster pho. But the main dishes were okay. The braised beef was a little over cooked, so the meat was too soft. The fish was too salty. It should have accompany with a bowl of rice. The dessert was also okay. The main problem with the service is about timing. The dining time was set up as 90 mins. We finished the main course within 60 mins, but the desserts didn’t come until the end of five minutes. The server originally asked us if we could finish the desserts within 10 mins, which was unreasonable in a high end restaurant. But after negotiations and arrangements, they extended our dining time. We appreciated the adjustments, but it could have arranged better if the desserts didn’t come so late.

Outstanding food, service and beverages. The non-alcoholic menu was spot on and the food was out of this world, even/especially in the bar area. Definitely will be back!

We were very excited to try this place and could not be more disappointed. The service was the worst I’ve experienced in probably 10 years. Our table wasn’t ready at reservation time, once seated we waited 10 more minutes before anybody even came to acknowledge us at the table, and the pacing quality of the service was negligent. The final straw, after waiting 55 minutes for our chicken, it was delivered without any utensils. Despite waving our arms trying to attract attention, I literally had to go up and walk to the bar and ask for a fork. Good grief. No thanks.

Came there initially for a pop-up and glad I stayed for a full meal. Sat at the bar because of limited seating on a bus weekend morning. Great service provided by the bartender. The food was delicious and filling. They warmed my cookie when I took it to go which I appreciated a lot. Highly recommend checking them out for brunch - plan ahead and make a reservation to make it easier for you

I had mixed feelings about Ramie.
On the food side, there were definite highlights. The Bánh Tiêu was great, and I really enjoyed the oysters on the half shell. The hot sauce was so good I actually bought some to bring home. The Mosaic Bò Tái Chanh was also solid. The Bò Né burger was just okay, and I’d probably skip the Sườn Heo Nướng next time. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, though the portion size was generous.
For how much food we ordered, I do wish we had been seated at a larger table. Everything was crammed onto a tiny two-person table, which made the dining experience feel cramped and a bit uncomfortable.
The ambiance itself is cute and inviting. I was really looking forward to booking the private space here for an engagement party, but unfortunately the communication was not great. It took a long time to get responses to follow-up questions, and the menu sent over for a quote didn’t include any pricing, which made it difficult to evaluate or move forward.
Overall, there are some strong dishes and the space has potential, but between the seating issues and the lack of clear communication for private events, the experience fell a bit short for me.

I had a fantastic experience here and will definitely be returning! Their Happy Hour runs from 5 PM – 8 PM, which is a generous window and perfect for sharing several plates over dinner.
The highlights of our meal:
Oysters: Incredibly fresh. The accompanying hot sauce was a standout and paired perfectly.
Beef Carpaccio: My absolute favorite! It was packed with flavor, and the grilled shallots added a wonderful depth to the dish.
Coffee Ribs: These were exceptionally tender and juicy—the meat literally fell off the bone like butter.
Banh Mi: This had such a unique, delicious 'gourmet grilled cheese' vibe.
Fruit Cup: A creative and refreshing way to end the meal. I loved the ingenuity behind this dessert!
The only miss for us was the Rice Rolls. While they weren't bad, they lacked the punchy flavor found in all the other dishes we tried. Overall, a great spot with a creative menu and excellent value!

Went with the family for brunch on Saturday and was absolutely blown away. The owner was professionally trained in France and it’s evident in her pastries. Best croissant I’ve ever had. The pate chaud, a French Vietnamese pork-filled puff pastry was HUGE, buttery, and all around delicious. Everything we ordered was phenomenally good: xoi man (savory sticky rice), the meatballs and eggs, the steak, eggs, pate and cheese sizzling platter, the corn cream pastry. This is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant with same ole pho, vermicelli bowls and banh mi. IT’S WAY BETTER.
