    Pineapple Coconut Cornbread
    Cheryl W.

    Wow. The Yelp reviews and intriguing menu drew us in, and this place did not disappoint!! For lunch we ordered the Pineapple Coconut Cornbread ($9), which was lovely, followed by the South African Sunny Bunny Chow with Rice, which was simply amazing. (FYI--it's chicken, not bunny.) The spices were on-point, and the serving size allowed for leftovers, which were equally as good warmed up later. The place itself is eclectic and interesting. I'd love to return to sample other dishes on the menu.

    South African Bunny Chow- best dish on their menu.

    A word to the faint at heart--their bunny chow curry is a that chicken! I'm glad I read this description because this was the best dish at the place. Outstanding food! The ambience could be a lot better because the place is a hole in the wall with tables almost touching each other. But the flavors, umami in each dish and effort they put into ensuring each menu item is uniquely represented is noteworthy. Their service people were warm, but could use some practice with the international words on the menu. Would any of the negatives outweigh my desire to come back and have some more of that delish bunny chow? Heck no!

    We went with reservations and tried the brunch here. The place was pretty packed and has a nice vibe to it. We tried the Filipino Tosilog , Japanese Zosui and Tunisian Shakshuka. Each of these were very well thought of dishes and a treat. My fav of these were the tosilog and then the shakshuka. I was also tempted to try the chicken and waffles but ended up taking a rain check on that. The menu also offers a bottomless orange juice and champagne;what can go wrong with that :) Overall a good start to the weekend.

    Came for restaurant week and at $35 for an app, main, and dessert, it was a great deal. I got the taiwanese turkey rice and it was delicious. Insanely peopery but I actually loved that. Despite being mostly turkey and rice, it wasn't dry at all. The turkey reminded me of the disney turkey if made way more moist and with care.

    South African Bunny Chow
    Dominic N.

    I really liked: Chengdu Wings This was ok: Dutch War Chips South African Bunny Chow Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread Nue is a cool idea with global-inspired small plates, but overall it was just okay. The Chengdu wings were extremely crispy and well flavored. Don't let the peppers scare you. They're not hot at all and the best thing here. The Dutch War Chips were basically crispy fries with a ton of mayo and onions. Great if you're into mayo, not so great if you're not. The South African Bunny Chow was more interesting sounding than it ended up being. It's a mild curry served in a bread bowl. The Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread was just okay; very dry, and the coconut didn't really add much. Service was on the slower side, and we had to remind them about drinks and entrees. We sat outside, where the lighting was poor even after they turned on the lights, and the small tables made it feel a bit cramped. Overall, the experience was fine but not quite worth going out of your way for.

    Came with friends last Friday to check out Nue I had heard about them but my friend had them on their list to check them off her list. Don't remember there being a large outdoor sign, easy to almost walk by if you miss seeing the window sign. Not to large of a space there are tables and counters to sit at. Eclectic world travel vibe decor. The QR code is on an airplane ticket looking card and the bill came out in a travel book. We stuck with water to drink room temperature water in each table. One of my friends got the Bunny Chow in bread bowl, my other friend the wings and I got the Malaysian Dahl: Coconut Mik, Makrut Lime Leaf, Lemongraas, Curry Leaf, Ginger, Lemon, Gamished with Cilantro and Chili oil. The lemongrass and citrus and other fragrant herbs adds a lot of depth and flavor definitely nothing I had tasted was really delicious. the roti was light and flakey. Also tried my friend's dished which were beautifully plated and also packed with flavor. Definitely would return to try more of the menu and cocktails.

    Chengdu Wing Tower, for the spicy and bold lovers

    If you're looking for a culinary passport without leaving the city, Nue is the place to go! This spot absolutely blew us away with its vibrant international street food menu, relaxed vibe, and top-tier service. We came in on a whim, but everything about the experience felt intentional--from the eclectic decor that gives the space a chill, welcoming feel, to the playlist that perfectly matched the laid-back energy. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, share plates, and really enjoy the moment. Huge shoutout to Theo, our server, who made the whole afternoon even better. Super knowledgeable about the menu, genuinely friendly without being overbearing, and had great recommendations. You can tell he really cares about the guest experience--something that's rare these days. Thanks, Theo! Food-wise? Absolute flavor explosion on the Chengdu Wing Tower. Bold spices, creative presentation, and clearly made with love. The menu is adventurous without being pretentious--perfect for foodies and casual diners alike. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or just want to shake up your dinner routine, Nue is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

    Tower of Chengdu Wings

    A very intriguing restaurant with the main theme is being a international celebration of cultures. From the food items, names of the food, to the decor, and even the receipts in books. Service was not as quick, but there was a lot of people and it was packed so can't judge them too hard. Off to the food review!! 3.7/5 - Tower of chengdu wings - The fish sauce tries really hard to pull through, but the thai chili and szechuan peppercorn just packs a very spicy punch right to the throat. My partner had some trouble eating it and i needed some water to pull through. In my opinion its a bit too spicy for the average spice enjoyer, but if you love spice these will be great 3.8/5 - Filipino Tapsilog - The garlic rice with the savory meat and runny egg, you can't go wrong. This is a very traditional breakfast, nothing special, but they made it just right. Garlic rice is a must have with this kind of breakfast. Perfect to start off brunch and the vinegar acidity really helps with the oiliness if its too much for a person. 4.2 - Caribbean pineapple cornbread - Didn't think much of this outside i wanted a sweet appetizer or dessert but damn this surprises me. For someone who doesn't like coconut, the flakes are toasted just enough to give a crispiness to the dish. The soft inside with a crunchy outside can't be beat with its sweet cornbread. This was the star of the show and quite a surprise. Overall great experience, however the food came a bit slow, so was the service. I try not to fault them too much due to how many people were there. Still a bit a waiting for us to get an order in.

    Very cool concept highlighting different foods from various countries. Fun way to casually try out some new dishes. We got the South African bunny chow, Caribbean pineapple cornbread, Danish dream cakes and the Brazilian acaraje. The highlight was definitely the Brazilian acaraje. It was so perfectly crispy and savory. Texturally very well balanced. The bunny chow was good as well. Tasted like a lightly spiced curry. The bread did get a bit mushy though because of the sauce poured on top. Food: 8.5/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 9/10

    East Indies Brussel Sprouts, Pineapple Cornbread
    Lulu C.

    The staff were very friendly. The food was just ok. Nothing special about cornbread, just a lot of coconut over it. The Brussels sprouts have no taste, literally just baked Brussels sprouts? The sauce is good. The decoration doesn't felt has a lot of thought put into it, just whatever slapped into it without much care over the years. Uncomfortable seating.

    when my friends want brunch, i ALWAYS suggest Nue. it's fun, unique and a transport across the world. we came in on a Sunday around 10:30 AM. were quickly seated and attended to. you cannot expect authentic food here, but rather a fusion / play on beloved tropes. i almost always get the chengdu chicken and waffles. it is the perfect savory - sweet brunch convo. waffles are soft and chewy and go well with the syrup and the chicken is always tender and bursting with flavor. if you're not here for brunch, please please try the tower of wings. the spice from the peppercorns and chili pairs so well with the crispy exterior and is an incredible combination. i love the decor and the energy of this place so much, from the plane ticket menu qr codes to the check in a travel book, it really lives up to its fun energy and is a great way to spend a morning. one of my seattle classics for sure

    We had a reservation for 9 PM on a Friday. Upon entering, we noticed the atmosphere was infused with various cultures--Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and more. While we knew this was a tapas restaurant, we each opted for the $35 three-course meal and shared different dishes. The kale salad was fresh, the Portuguese Piri Piri sandwich had the perfect crisp, and the Sri Lankan squash curry was incredibly flavorful. We also enjoyed our cocktails and beer! Although the restaurant closed at 10 PM, the staff patiently waited for us to finish our meal past 10:15 PM. We truly appreciated their friendly service!

    Ally W.

    I came here for brunch and was amazed at the international or fusion options. Here are some of my favorites: * Colombian pandebono con bocadillo (cheese bread with guava paste) * Caribbean pineapple cornbread with toasted coconut * Brazilian acaraje (black-eyed pea fritters split and stuffed with vatapá, a mixture of prawns, ginger, habanero and peanut) * Chengdu chicken and waffles with fish sauce, lime, basil, mint, and Thai chili The food had flavors from all over the place, literally and figuratively. I liked them all. It was like going to a really good international food festival, and also being served.

    Does your outdoor dining area have heat lamps at the tables?

    Yes, we have LP heaters and blowers that warm the space and keep it rather toasty 😊

    Hi There! Do you have A/C inside the restaurant on hot days?

    Hi Anita, Yes, we do have AC. Full disclosure, our space is quite small though so on very hot days, it won't be a perfect 68 degrees. Our HVAC with AC is serviced every month but given the limits of our space, I just want to set expectations.

    Can I find wonderful dishes without onion or garlic? Your place looks amazing. Thank you,Chris! I'll be in soon.

    Hi Lori, Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately most all of our entrees have garlic and/or onion in them to some degree and I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you to find dishes that don't when you dine out.… Read more

    Is the meat halal?

    Hi Miriam, we use halal meat in one of our dishes, the Pakistani Chapli Kabab. The other meat items on our current menu are not. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    What are the vegetarian options like? Is it more salads or actual full entrees?

    They do have few vegetarian entrees. One of them closely matches a kachori with chickepea.

    Does this place have bottomless mimosas?

    It was on the menu when I went last month. Don't know if it changed or not but I assume it hasn't.

    It shows brunch and breakfast, but do you serve dinner?

    Yes! Check out the menu here: http://www.nueseattle.com/menu/

Another 10-15 mins go by and I had to ask "do you know how long our order will take to which she seemed to get annoyed. It could have my energy because by that time I was annoyed. I'm not sure what happened to our original server but he must have gotten off. About 5-10 mins goes by and here it comes. That confirmed the table next to us got our order because of how long it took. They never apologized for their mistake. Doing all that time they never came back to see if we would like another drink. I had to flag someone down. The clincher was we got our bill and there was 22% service charge. That was on me because if I would have seen it I might not have gone. I'm not a fan of automatically charging a service charge. I'm a great tipper but it must be earned. By than I was really annoyed and thought to have a conversation with the manager but let it go. I would not go back. The craft cocktails are spendy but I had no problem with that because they're creative and they earned it by being creative. But the energy and the environment wasn't like the other speak easy bars I visited. It was boring and to top it off the service charge of 22% and the service that came with it sealed it for me. Make sure to read the website on their thought around the 22%.

People walk in, fall in love with the vibe, and walk out talking about the food. The consistency is unreal. They even order food to go. The flavors? Bold, intentional, and layered in a way that makes each dish feel crafted, not just cooked. The presentation is always stunning; plates that look as good as they taste. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they send out. Drinks are equally impressive. Their cocktails are balanced and creative, the kind that make you slow down just to appreciate the mixology behind them. And for anyone planning group outings: reservations here are a breeze.

Roquette was a surprisingly small space with a wonderful vibe serving up "destination" bar-worthy cocktails. It reminded me of some of the neighborhood gem cocktail bars that I'd frequented on the East Coast. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Roquette's lineup of cocktails were varied in flavor profile using a wide range of spirits. They also served non-alcoholic offerings which looked equally intriguing as their boozy selections. I started off with the 99 Problems ($28), which, unfortunately, I forgot to note what was in the drink. It was boozy, clever, inventive, and most importantly delicious. My second drink was the Imperium Old Fashioned ($24) made with Westland Whiskey "Roquette" Barrel, Clement Cask Strength Rhum, Old Delicious Apple Brandy, Pineapple, and Spice. It was an excellent, boozy, balanced update to the classic Old Fashioned. Although I went with drinks off their menu, I have no doubt that any of their skilled bar professionals could've crafted me a wonderful cocktail if I had simply requested a classic or something on the fly based on my choice of spirit and desired flavor profile. Yes, the prices on the two drinks I ordered were pretty steep, but they were comparable to prices I've paid in Las Vegas. Plus, I don't have a problem with paying a premium for a well-made cocktail made with premium ingredients in a comfortable, welcoming setting (the drunken guy next to me who tried to engage with me in a political discussion excluded). Bottom-line: Roquette was a revelation. It served up two of the best cocktails that I've had this year. I can't recommend it enough and it'll be at the top of my list of places to hit the next time I'm in town.
