The mango salad was good - very fresh, a good balance of fish-based sauce, and a huge portion. I also tried my friend's duck curry, which had a crispy skin and was a well balanced curry.

It was a Wednesday evening and there weren't a ton of customers. However I'd still highly recommend you give this place a try!

Imperial Kitchen and Bar in Belltown offers Hong Kong cafe style food while offering a full bar experience including creative cocktails. The food menu has a variety of international choices, and the dishes are pleasantly good. The place is understandably loud, being a bar. The décor is old-school dark wood bar chic with small HK style neon signs hanging from the ceiling. The Seahawks celebrations merriment was still ongoing with karaoke blasting on Superbowl Sunday. Service was swift, and the food came out in a timely manner. I will remember this place for future late-night food. The Food: Rib Eye Steak Platter, $28 - 4.5 Stars This sizzling platter comes with your choice of sauce and a choice of starch. Hubby chose black pepper sauce and spaghetti. Hubby asked for medium rare, but the rarest they offer is medium due to being served on a sizzling platter. Fair enough. The platter did arrive smoking hot. The flavors were pretty good. The black pepper sauce was delivered warm, not very hot. The flavors met expectations. Stir Fried Udon with Tenderloin Steak, $20.95 - 4 Stars This dish is also done in a black pepper sauce. I quite like the high veggies-to-udon ratio, almost equal parts. Overall flavor is a bit salty. Some beef pieces are better than others, a mix of tender and chewy. Garlic Pepper Soft Shell Crab, $16.95 - 3.5 Stars Despite being fried, these pieces are softer, less crispy than I all other fried soft-shell crab I have had. Perhaps they might need to double fry. These have good flavor with good seasonings despite not being particularly crispy.

The reviews for Vivienne's Bistro were promising, and the photos of its beautifully presented dishes had us eager to try it. Naturally, our quest for fabulous food finds led us straight to its door. One of the restaurant's biggest draws was its convenient location, within walking distance of our downtown hotel, the W Seattle, and directly beneath the Sheraton. With reservations made earlier, we were seated right away upon arrival. The interior holds a lovely balance between modern sophistication and warmth. Crisp white walls, medium and dark wood tones, and black accents create a clean, contemporary aesthetic, while the high ceiling lends an airy, open feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to shine in, making the restaurant feel warm and welcoming. For dinner, we ordered: *Lychee Mojito *Seafood Wonton Soup *Forbidden Roast Duck *Cloud Passion Fruit Cheesecake The undisputed star of the evening was the Forbidden Roast Duck. Its presentation was jaw-dropping, accompanied by a colorful assortment of accompaniments: caramelized lemons, bao buns, fresh cilantro, crisp cucumbers, radish, and hoisin sauce. I really enjoyed the various textures and flavors of this dish. Everything we ordered was simply delicious! My only regret was that we couldn't sample more of the menu. Since we were staying in a hotel, taking leftovers back to our room wasn't particularly practical, and leaving perfectly good food behind was not an option. Sometimes, the only downside to a great meal is having to exercise a little restraint. With its delicious food, attentive service, inviting ambience, and convenient location, Vivienne's Bistro turned out to be a wonderful find during our Seattle stay. It checked all the right boxes, and we'd happily add it to our list of places to revisit the next time we're in town.

As a business owner it's your responsibility to pay your employees a fair wage. A tip from a customer is not and should never be misconstrued as an employees base pay.

The pineapple sweet and sour shrimp had great flavor but the shrimp were overcooked and rubbery. The presentation was very nice.

Personally I really love Woo Bar and their brunch menu, especially the Ube pancakes and oxtail eggs Benedict. Also recommend the Vietnamese coffee. Staff are friendly and like supporting local, minority owners. Dinner was good - the main thing is that I'd recommend having them send out the dishes as they get done so the food doesn't get cold. However it is nice to get the food all at once. Otherwise, solid food for dinner. Best dishes on dinner menu are the oxtail hummus, pork sliders and chicken sesame salad. HH everyday from 4-5 pm.

Our server was friendly but service was not crisp. Our drinks sat on the bar for a while (we finally saw another server grab our server who was not busy) and our apps came out slow. Not what you expect in a pre show context. The idea of a second beer sort of went out the window at that point. For food, the apps (Bok Choi and Crispy Rolls) were just ok-the Crispy Rolls really lacking flavor. I had the Yuzu Salmon which was overcooked and seemed out of balance literally swimming in sauce. As a Monday night, maybe this was just an off night but an overall experience below expectations.

Ray was our server and he did a great job with his recommendations, even steering me away from something I wanted to try, warning me the dish tends to get the most complaints from guests. Additionally, we had quite a bit of food without that. We had melon salad, roasted califlower, and grilled angus sot bap. All had a good flavor palate with ingredients that worked nicely together. The space was nothing remarkable, the entrance didn't really mention Chan, but Spruce instead. Confusing, is it a rebrand or different name depending on the day or?? Look at the menu before you go and see if you consider it $$ or not, I don't have a good feel for that sort of thing as my restaurant outings are infrequent. This place is part of the "add 3% if using a CC" which kind of grinds my gears. I understand margins in restaurants can be tight etc, but to see that on your tablet in smaller print is a bit lame IMO.

I will say the photographer created a bit of an uncomfortable experience as she came off a bit pushy and did not explain what the photos were for. She ended up coming back and wanting us to pose differently and retake them. We politely told her we weren't interested and she proceeded to come by and show us a printed photo of ours to sell. When we said no thanks, she continued to press and tell us to just take a photo of the photo with our phone lol. Besides the photographer, the food was pretty good. I ordered a khao soi, and it was my first time trying the dish. I am not sure I would come back, but it was a nice dining experience besides the photographer and the food was good.

This was our first ever omakase and we were simply blown away. The fish quality was out of this world and I really appreciated the variety throughout the courses. I also didn't realize at time of booking this was a global/fusion experience so this was a very welcome, serendipitous surprise for me and my husband, who love exploring global flavors. There were more traditional bites as well, which I appreciated because while I thought I despised wasabi, turns out I only hate the fake stuff and actually quite enjoy the real thing. The omakase is also offered at a very accessible price point and can't be beat for value. We did opt into the premium add-ons, and while they were fantastic, the regular courses are enough to standalone. We're already planning return visits in our future with family and friends!
