What a rare find in downtown Seattle! This place used to be my beloved Loulay...but so happy that Vivienne's Bistro took this place now that Loulay is gone! The moment I walked in I was warmly greeted and seated promptly. The service was impeccable...my server Mai was so nice and gave me a thorough overview of the menus...I ordered the Fried Oysters - they were succulent and hot...I also had the Seafood Wonton Soup - amazingly delicious! And for my entree, I ordered the Pork Chops - uniquely flavored and not too sweet...paired well with my brown rice! I will definitely be back to try the Crispy Duck...Keep up the good work!

Had an amazing dinner at this place. Not sure what I expected, but it wasn’t this. Best Chinese food I’ve ever had! Even the vegetables were next level. My table shared the forbidden duck and the braised ribs. The skin on the duck was so crispy! It did not disappoint. And the ribs were tender and flavorful. I also had the duck fat old fashioned. It was soooo good and savory. Ting was our server, and she was delightful. Can’t wait to go back.

We were attending the 5th Avenue and found this wonderful Asian restaurant. Every entree we ordered came out hot and fresh. The Wonton soup was some of the best I’ve had, and the portions were generous. The staff were very friendly and my wife and I are looking forward to coming back soon.

We have been looking forward to coming for a while.
We got the Forbidden Duck, Ribeye, twice cooked pork belly, orange peel beef, and okra eggplant. Everything was perfect.
Ting was our server and took great care of us.
We will be back!

This is a wonderful restaurant, the food is delicious and the customer service topnotch. I live out of state but I had a great time the two times I visited the annex on 602 union street. Special shout out to Ting, one of the waitress. She was very professional and helpful and warm. I recommend this place 100%.

Gives the impression of being fancy but the food is nothing special. In fact, I had more flavorful food from almost anywhere else. In fact, I would recommend asking for a side of salt and pepper and chilis. Not worth the price.
My girlfriend and I went to Vivienne’s Bistro together, and it was such a wonderful experience! The food here was absolutely delicious, and I especially loved the roast duck. Please pass along my thanks to the kitchen for their amazing work! 🙏
Our server was Mai, and she was polite, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease without being overly enthusiastic. It felt like we were having a meal at home—so comfortable and relaxing! This sense of “pressure-free” service doesn’t mean Mai wasn’t serious about her job. On the contrary, we both felt that she was professional, warm, and gave us sincere recommendations without exaggeration.
I believe the kitchen should also thank Mai because, without her heartfelt suggestions, we wouldn’t have discovered dishes that perfectly matched our tastes. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you for giving us such a lovely evening—it was truly delightful.

I had the pleasure of dining at Vivienne’s Bistro recently, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The menu offered a great selection, and everything we tried was flavorful and perfectly. And our server, Mai. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout the meal.❤️ we loved u mai！we will come back

Fantasic food, friendly staff, and great cocktails! Ate here twice during a weekend trip to Seattle at the end of December (we were staying at the Sheraton Grand and it's on the main floor of the hotel). The food was so good on the first visit that we had to come back the next day to try other dishes (especially the duck - which was sold out the first time we went because of popular demand). The peking duck was the best we've had anywhere and came with fluffy bao buns. Every other dish we had was delicious as well. The mango cake we had for dessert was a light, flavourful end to the meal.
Isaac and Ting (one served us for each meal) were both very friendly and had great recommendations. Chris (behind the bar) came by our table and whipped up several interesting cocktails. Best dirty martini we've ever had! The chef also stopped by the table to ask how our meal was and seemed very enthusiastic to hear our thoughts about the new menu items they were trying.
Thanks again to all the staff at Vivienne's for the great experiences! We'll definitely be back on our next visit to Seattle!
