We walked in for happy hour and walked out with a happy belly. The vibe is pretty casual with moody lighting and retro photos on the wall. We sat near the patio for fresh air and better acoustics so it wasn't hard to hear each other talk. Food wise, we did half dozen oysters with house hot sauce (yum!), hollow bread, shrimp toast, chicken bite and mini donuts, duck egg custards, and fish and chips. Dessert was coffee and pomelo entremet (fancy). I will definitely do shrimp toast again and try some other dishes next time. Drinks are pretty but not super memorable. I enjoyed the service that's warm attentive but not over bearing. Overall lovely date night spots and solid happy hour food menu. read more

This restaurant is full of contradictions. On one hand, it contains some of the best individual dishes I've had in the city. On the other hand, some remarkably bizarre choices and inexplicably bad dishes leave you thoroughly confused. I'm a positive person (kind of), so let's start with the good. Their bahn tieu, or hollow bread, ranks up there as maybe the best bread-as-an-appetizer in the city. From the moment you cut it in half and feel the hiss of the steam escaping from the middle, you know it's going to be good. The outside is crispy, and the inside is so unbelievably fluffy it's wild. The honey coating on the bottom just adds that slightly sweet flavor that makes it even better, and the honey butter works perfectly to spread and let melt on the hot bread inside. For just $4, it's comes at an unbelievable price. We liked ours so much we ordered it again at the end. Following that same theme, the next thing we had, the toasted bahn mi, was also incredible. This is definitely not your typical bahn mi - as it comes in two mini triangle shaped pieces with a fried exterior. This outside has the perfect crunch and slight oiliness in its texture, and the inside of chicken liver parfait and pork floss just works so well. The nuoc cham also has essentially every flavor - sweet, salty, umami, spicy - it's the perfect dipping sauce. Ok, now let's talk about the truly incomprehensible. The rockfish fish and chips contains some of the worst fried fish I've ever had. The breading is beyond repair - it's practically soggy to the touch. When taking a bite out of the fish in your fish and chips feels like eating a bamboo shoot, you've completely lost the plot. I shudder to think about how this would appear when put next to some of the other fried fish I've had in Seattle. There's no seasoning, and to make matters worse, something just tastes very off about the inside. I don't even mean that's its overcooked, which it is, but there's just something weird going on that I can't quite put my finger on. Also, the tartar sauce might be the worst I've ever had. It's essentially just a pickled salad. There's no fat - no mayo or anything to provide something good to dip the fish into. It's just watery, liquidy, and functions atrociously at its job of being a dipping sauce. At least the fries were decent enough. If that wasn't everything - there's two more things that went wrong. The first one of these is just laughable. When we sat at our table and tried to order from the lounge menu, which is an all-day menu (not just happy hour), we were told that we couldn't be served the lounge menu at our current table, and had to be moved to the lounge area. And then - completely serious - we were proceeded to be moved like three seats over, now told we were in the lounge area, and allowed to order the lounge menu. It was so ridiculous both of us couldn't stop laughing for like five minutes. Even now I find it incredulous. The fact that there was some great firewall standing between the lounge and main dining area that prevented them from bringing a lounge plate one iota outside the allocated area is exceptionally funny. The second one is a bit more annoying. When we got our table, we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. I found this a bit odd - it reminded me of Europe - but I didn't think too much of it and asked for still, assuming that like essentially every restaurant in the US - the water would be complimentary. It was my absolute shock that we were charged 12 (twelve) American dollars for water. What!? In the land of the free? And the home of the brave? Really? Twelve dollars? Water? You know the kind where Seattle has some of the best tap water in the country, and you can literally just fill that up. Granted, it was probably partially our fault for not blocking the question entirely and asking for tap water from the start, but I assumed they asked between these two options to just determine the type of water we wanted. Overall, this has a couple of the highest highs, but the lows here are in the depths of hell. 5/10 read more

Honestly this has been one of our favorite dinner date experiences in Seattle this year! Food blew our mind! Especially the appetizers! We loved the hollow bread, clams, and the egg! The noodles were tasty but we felt didn't quite fit the flavor palate. The pork was honestly a bit on the salty side. We ended our night with their scallion cake which was tasty! Service was friendly and wonderful to start but we noticed by the end of the night they kind of forgot about us and it took quite a while to order dessert and get our check to leave. That was a tiny bummer for the overall experience but we really love this spot and will continue to recommend it! Especially for the appetizers! read more

We went here for brunch. The food was okay...they have a unique and inventive spin on Vietnamese cuisine. However, the dishes seem to miss the mark. We got the Bo Ne with the New York strip, which was like a deconstructed Banh Mi. But the steak was super salty. The Shrimp Benedict was fine. Something about the fish cake and the beurre blanc sauce together was mushy, so for me, I didn't like the texture. We however enjoyed the Banh Bao Chien, a crunchy, savory app! The coffee drinks were delightful! And the kouign-amann was one of the best we've had. So there were some hits and misses. The service started off great, however, the server disappeared on us mid-meal and was hard to get refills on water and any sort of service towards the end. That put a bitter taste in our mouths. So, not sure if we'll be back read more

Dinner from Nov 23, 2025. Menu is subject to change. Prices updated if dish is currently offered. Ramie is a re-imagined, elevated Vietnamese restaurant in Capitol Hill, at the same location that was Omega Ouzeri (RIP). The restaurant is remodeled worthy of a date night. As much as I love pho, bun, and Vietnamese street foods, I appreciate trying a different take of a cuisine that is vibrant with flavors. They operate as sampling plate sizes and suggest four to five items to share. We went for broke and ordered six. Some of their dishes are incredible home-runs while others are perhaps second or third base. Overall, these are creative and excellent efforts, and kudos to a well-trained staff with explanations and identifying their popular dishes. They also have a chef's tasting menu that is worth considering. The Food: Duck Custard, $14 - 5+ Stars Menu: egg custard, duck ragout, rau ram oil, rau ram, house seasoning This is a top-notch worthy dish that every table should order and, in fact, looks like they all did. Highly recommend. Scallop with salted egg yolk sauce, $15 - 3 Stars The salted egg yolk sauce is light in flavor while the scallop was overcooked. Good intentions, insufficiently executed. Hamachi Crudo, $27 - 5 Stars Thick cuts of hamachi are paired with crispy garlic, pickled veggies, herb oil, and sherbet, the last component being a surprising complement that worked superbly well. Highly recommend. Coffee rubbed pork ribs, $24 - 4 Stars We thought these ribs could use more coffee flavor. Nonetheless, they have an excellent umami flavor, are tender, with meat falling off the bones. I do recommend this. Pork Shank Ragu, $43 - 3.5 Stars One of their signature entrees. The meat is flavorful though oddly beefy. We both thought it is a touch salty. We opted not to finish. Anchovy Butter Noodles, $22 - 3.5 Stars Housemade noodles with an immensely rich sauce that tasted fantastic for the first few bites, then the dish started to taste salty. We opted to stop eating these noodles and the pork shank after 40% and brought the rest home to be 'modified'. The leftovers turned out very well. Hehe. Every table was also gifted a small bite of chef's special on bread. read more

Went during brunch time. Favorite dish was the Salmon Croque Madam. It was a banh mi sandwich with salmon flakes(?) topped off with an egg with a side of arugula. Easy to eat and flavorful on its own but dipping it with Chinsu added spice and more flavor. Bot Chien had a crisp to it and egg was cooked well. You have to dip it in the fish sauce or else there is no flavor. Just something minor but I wish the pickled veggies were more separated. It had the cut lines but not fully cut so you had to separate it yourself. The com tam was alright. All of the components you would usually get for a broken rice dish. The meatloaf was really good. The pork on the other hand was a bit too salty for my liking. And you only get one thin piece... soup on the side was good and was a good way to cleanse the palette. Overall good modern/fancy spin on Vietnamese food but overpriced. Would probably be nice to go during dinner time for some drinks as the ambience seemed better for night time. Good amount of seating. Street parking around the area was easy to find. read more

I took my mom here for a little family lunch, which we don't get to do often. Since she's mostly only familiar with Vietnamese food, I wanted to bring her somewhere a bit different but still approachable. Overall, everything we tried was good and we enjoyed the meal. The flavors were solid and the experience was nice for a casual lunch together. The only thing I'm a bit unsure about is the pricing...specifically the $20 bot chien. It tasted fine, but for what it was, the price felt a little steep. Maybe I just ordered the wrong item or expected something a bit more elevated for the cost. Other than that, it was a good experience and I'm glad I got to bring my mom here and try something new with her. read more

We came for brunch on a Sunday because my friends wouldn't stop raving about their dinner. So this current rating is for the brunch menu, but I will be back to try the dinner menu in the future. All the dishes were presented nicely. I had the croque madam and it was just ok. The bread was a bit on the dry side and there wasn't much salmon in it. I love the concept though. Everything else was just ok as well but the pastries and drinks were good. I probably wouldn't come back for the brunch but I would for a pastry and a cup of coffee. Street parking only in this part of town but we found a spot pretty quickly. read more

Loved the concept of the menu and the restaurant. I've never had upscale Vietnamese food since I just eat whatever is at home. My first experience was very good! The balut was my favorite dish here. I could probably eat like 10 of those. It tasted like a rich soft scrambled balut. I was very impressed! My 2nd favorite dish was the tofu eggplant. Flavors weren't too overpowering and the potato chips added a nice texture to the dish. Our server was very attentive and accommodated whatever we needed. I love the ambiance of this restaurant. read more

Wanted to love this place but something fell short for their brunch meal. The food was just average to me. The flavors were there, but there wasn't anything in any of the dishes that wowed me. It felt like there could've been more to the dishes or something that makes them more unique than any other place selling Vietnamese brunch. Overall it was lacking something.. When I eat a banh mi chao, I want all of the items on the plate to be harmonious to each other. I want to be able to put combine different parts of the plate onto that piece of banh mi to make a perfect bite. While each part tasted well on its own, combining everything felt like it was too much and didn't complement each other at all. The pate and the cheese were too salty when I tried to eat them together or with the xiu mai. I also wish there was more sauce. The pastries were good. I liked the strawberry and cream croissant. The pate chaud meat filling had good flavor (though it kind of tasted like the xiu mai but without the tomato), but the pastry itself was a little bit wet at the bottom and I couldn't tell if it was from the meat or if the dough was slightly undercooked. I felt that the portions were a bit small for the price point. The food here was good, but it didn't feel like there was anything very refined or different about the dishes that would warrant a higher price. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we came, but the service was still a bit slow. It took longer for us to get our server's attention when the rest of our party had arrived and wanted to order. I was also surprised at how long it took for my Vietnamese iced coffee to come out. Maybe I'll have to come back and try their dinner menu to see if it is better. I do love the idea of a more upscale/elevated Vietnamese restaurant, as I truly believe that the cuisine can break through the idea that the food has to be cheap, so I'm hoping that Ramie can evolve. read more

We came to Ramie after meeting the owner at a different restaurant they own in Poulsbo. We decided to go to the Saturday brunch. We parked in front of the restaurant on Capitol Hill. Be aware that parking can get crowded. I believe they also have validated parking. We tried a couple of the pastries to begin with. The breakfast croissant was awesome with shaved pork and thinly sliced radish. I think it was the Ăn Sang Croissant. We also had Pho Tron Bo and Com Tam entrees. Both were excellent. All of the foods had a unique Vietnamese flavor and style to them while being different than anything we've ever had before. Two excellent Americanos topped off the meal. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant itself was chic and inviting. You can make reservations to avoid having to wait. Going to try their Bainbridge Island location next! read more

Such a unique restaurant! As a Vietnamese person, it was so exciting to experience flavors that I grew up with but in completely unexpected/new ways. What I loved: oysters on a half shell, mi muoi tieu, goi ca, bo la lot, che banh lot What was worth trying: hot vit lon (I know that this is a fan favorite but I strongly prefer traditional hot vit lon), che thai (also a fan favorite. I just don't like the dessert it's inspired by so that's completely a me thing), suon heo nuong, ca phe muoi What I could've passed on: banh cuon, nam chien nuoc mam, cha ca la vong chien There was nothing that I disliked, but more so dishes that just weren't memorable. All of this food was also for a party of eight which they did a wonderful job accommodating. I'm hoping to revisit when the menu is rotated! read more

Genuinely such a memorable meal, from the food itself to the service. We were visiting from out of state and wanted to go for a birthday dinner. We arrived for our reservation on time but there was a small wait since we had larger party. We were able to get some drinks at the bar while we waited so there was no issues at all. Once we were seated we got a great overview of the menu from our server. We loved everything so much that we made a reservation for the next day on the spot. Hamachi Crudo 5/5: The kumquat sorbet with the yellowtail was amazing. It made the fish bright and refreshing. Grilled Cabbage 5/5: An unexpected top 3. Didnt think much of it since it's a cabbage, but it became a star at our table. We ordered an extra one on our second day. Will definitely be thinking about this one. Manilla Clams 5/5: For our table of 8, we ordered 4. It was nice and savory, add the sliced kumquat to add some acidity! amazing! Oysters 4/5: First day we got the oysters as is, but the second day we knew that they used to serve it with some type of fish sauce. Our server brought out the yuzu fish sauce, game changer with the oysters! We honestly tried everything on the menu by the end of the second day, even the desserts but those are my must haves. Thank you to Ramie and team for such a great birthday dinner and we will definitely be back next year! read more

Ramie is a stunningly gorgeous restaurant that has earned all of its accolades. The service is courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was 30 minutes late to my reservation due to a crash on I-5 and called to let the restaurant know. When I arrived, the staff even asked me if I was ok! The menu is innovative and still tastes like comfort food. The presentation is top notch as you can tell by the pictures. I'm looking forward to visiting with a larger group so we can order the whole menu read more

The happy hour here is delicious and it goes till 8pm which is awesome!! Seats are limited and a little cozy but the food is excellent! The coffee glazed ribs were my favorite!! Tender, meaty and tasty. The pressed bahn mi was very nice. Not too big but just enough to give you a good try to be satisfied. The turmeric fish was a bit strong in flavor for me so would skip that next time personally but it was fried excellent and was flaky. Beef skewers were super flavorful and filling despite just coming in a pair as well. Overall: packed flavor + good ingredients = I was more full than I thought I'd be for the quantity which was awesome and pricepoint can't be beat. Loved the jasmine tea vodka cocktail too!! Will happily return and give a recommend!! read more

We really enjoyed our experience here. The ambiance is very much upscale and classy, which we didn't realize initially but was totally fine. The service was good even once they got quite busy, but go early if you want more interaction or attention. The food was all very tasty, though my partner said he wouldn't order the bahn mi again because it was pressed and it just wasn't as good that way. He was glad he tried it but felt it didn't improve flavor at all. I liked my dishes but felt the portion sizes varied quite a bit. The mushrooms vs. the eggplant for example, but prices were higher for all items. This place is more of a tapa style/sharing plates menu, and there are limited options for vegetarians and few if any for vegans. That said, still very interesting takes on Vietnamese food and quite enjoyable. This would make a great date night. read more

Incredible restaurant (and a fantastic happy hour). Unlike a lot of hybrid renditions of Asian restaurants, everything here feels thoughtful, intentional and is truly delicious. The custard duck egg is an excellent starter, with a rich, savory broth that delivers a deep, yolky umami punch. The rau ram oil and herb is such a creative twist that adds the perfect herbal dimension. The radicchio pudding was light and offered a clean, almost grassy brightness without being overwhelming in flavors. Great option for any vegans at the table. The wagyu beef tallow fries were some of the best fries I've ever had. Ultra-crispy, perfectly thick-cut, and deeply flavorful with beef notes shining through, without being too heavy. Like many of the dishes here, perfectly balanced in flavor. The grilled eggplant with whipped tofu and crispy sun chokes was another standout. The tofu whip was so smooth and should be considered a worthy sub for mayo. The eggplant was soft, creamy, and perfectly charred. The garlic rice was incredibly savory and maybe my favorite version of it yet. Packed with the perfect depth of garlicky flavor and seasoning. Finally for dessert - I thought the durian fruit cup was decent, it's great for durian lovers but next time I will be back to try their other desserts. The hollow bread is a must-try. It's fried to perfection, the inside is steamy and the butter it comes with is perfect but the bread alone is so good that it doesn't need it. The perfect touch of roasted sesame. Slightly sweet, it's a delight in textures and perfect in cold weather. The oyster on half shell in happy hour is also a great standard oyster, very fresh, with a nuanced Viet twist in the sauces. Vegetable dip is pretty standard and also delicious, great if you're looking for a healthy starter. Coffee rubbed ribs were fantastic as well and an incredible deal for the size. Very savory, a little sticky sweet, but not too much. Service was also friendly and the food came out in a reasonable time. One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle, and had fun chatting with regulars next to our table too. read more

The chicken and coffee ribs are AMAZING and worth getting! The pork belly was a lunar year special and nice trying the different kinds. The rice rolls are good but only if you like crab and seafood.

Quality/Quantity - We chose to do "family style" today, so we can all share and experience as many of the dishes as we can. Amuse Blouche - A palette cleanser. This was a good start to our meal. Hot Vit Lon; Duck Custard $28 - A signature dish and glad Jon, our waiter, recommended it. I recommend it for all to try. Nam Chien Nuoc Mam, Mushroom $21 - Good. Banh Cuon Tom - Rice roll, another signature dish, but I have eaten much of this as a kid and did not find this special. I actually can speak for the whole table as this was the only dish we did not finish. Mi Muoi Tieu, Salt & Pepper Noodles $19 - Barely a single portion. Think tapas... This was good, but we all just shared one strand of pasta, lol. Suon Heo Nuong, Ribs $27 - This exceeded our expectations! And the only dish with generous portions. A home run. Also, it looked fatty (not in a bad way), but it was mostly lean meat. Authentic NY Strip Loin $65 - Quality was good. But again, not enough even for a single portion. Everyone only got a small slice. Side of red rice $5 - Again good, something slightly different than just white rice. Ambiance - Beautiful space. Two stories. See pictures. Clean restrooms. Fairly easy street parking. Service - Good. Price - $209 + generous tip. Expensive even for this high quality of food. I guess it's good for a special occasion. If it was a slightly better value, we would frequent more. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. read more

This upscale Vietnamese restaurant serves unique dishes featuring fresh, exotic ingredients. The space is beautiful and spacious with a great vibe perfect for hosting a private event. However, we encountered a major hiccup during our visit this evening. We ordered six different dishes, one of which was the Hamachi. When the server brought it out, we noticed it looked different from what we expected. After checking the menu to confirm there was only one Hamachi dish listed, we began eating. It was the third or fourth plate to arrive. My daughter eventually checked photos posted by other diners and realized that what we were served looked nothing like the standard Hamachi dish. When the server returned, we asked for clarification. He insisted it was Hamachi, but when we asked why it looked so different from the photos, he claimed we had ordered the "Hamachi collar bone," which isn't even on the menu. This was shocking. How could we have ordered an off-menu item that was never mentioned to us? Furthermore, the Hamachi on the menu is quite popular, making his explanation even more confusing. I remained composed since we were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday and had already finished the meal, but the experience started spiraling down. In my experience, when an error like this occurs, a manager usually steps in to clear up the confusion, but that didn't happen here. Instead, the server offered to take the dessert off the bill after taking his manager, which felt like an odd solution to the problem. Mistakes happen, but I still cannot wrap my head around how the server concluded I ordered a secret menu item during my very first visit. - bread: Skip. Not worth it. - duck eggs: Interesting enough to try at least once - ribs: Pretty good. A bit salty - half chicken: kale was excellent. Chicken was pretty flavorful as well - rockfish: good. We all liked the dipping sauce - hamachi collar bone: Skip it. - dessert: pretty good and exotic flavor but small portion. Try it. read more

100% a 5 star experience! Came here for our anniversary dinner and everything was fantastic. Spacious seating so you aren't bunched up right next to other people. The service was extraordinary from beginning to end from multiple attendees. Of course the food was in my opinion deserving of a 1 Michelin star. The bread, fried oysters, Hamachi and meats all stood out in different ways but everything worked so well in taste, texture and flavor! read more

Ramie was very enjoyable after some initial confusion/service bobbles (it took a while to set up our reserved table, we were provided the wrong menus, and our server - while very nice - was a bit absent at the beginning). That all being said: after a slow start with the small bites, we were off to the races with the appetizers/entrees/sides. The small bites are visually beautiful but not worth the price imo (they are indeed quite small - and in the case of the scallops, $45 for 3 minuscule bites of Hokkaido scallop, sitting in a pool of grainy sauce... that was a low point of the meal. Not a great start). Thankfully the appetizers immediately improved the meal: the snail sausage was unique and so delicious; the rice rolls and the anchovy/miso noodles - also amazingly flavorful. We ordered a side of the garlic rice as an accompaniment, and we used it as a base for the leftover sauces. The entrees were very good as well - loved the wagyu tri tip and the whole trout (once again, the tomato/based sauce that the trout was perched on was otherworldly-yum). The spicy half chicken was visually stunning, but despite being brined, the white meat was quite dry. One of our favorite dishes of the night, though, was the beef tallow frites - WOW. Do not skip those. They are incredible (and will definitely remind you of childhood - back when McD's used to fry in beef fat). Dessert here felt a bit like an afterthought - almost all of the dessert options were sold out at 8:30 pm, so we wound up ordering the Vietnamese coffee ice cream. It was a soupy/barely frozen consistency, served in a tiny bowl with a sad tuile on top. I would skip dessert next time altogether, and save room for the spectacular savory stuff. read more

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. read more

I came here with some buds for Friday night dinner, and it was so good! The vibe, the service, and the food were all great. The portions for the larger dishes were also pretty large, so we ended up not spending as much as I thought we would. We got the hollow bread, oysters, scallop, duck custard, hamachi crudo, rice rolls, ribs, and anchovy egg noodles. The egg noodles were a huge portion and def a hit at the table, but it is heavy on butter so would steer clear if that's not your thing. I didn't try the duck custard but my friends did, and they said it was one of their top dishes for the night. Everything else was delicious as well! Texture of the rice rolls were great, but I will say the prawn head puree was strong so it is definitely very seafood-heavy flavored. read more

A unique take on Vietnamese cuisine. I came here because I was craving something a little different -- and the food didn't disappoint. It's a refined spin on Vietnamese flavors, created by a chef who trained at a culinary school and worked in New York. The dishes were flavorful and beautifully presented, but I couldn't help feeling something was missing. I've been to several high-end restaurants, and while the food here was good, the service didn't quite match the price point. Portions were surprisingly small, and my coffee took a bit too long to arrive. The Turmeric Sticky Rice had a lot going on ingredient-wise, but the flavors didn't fully come together -- still tasty though. The Banh Mi Chao felt like a Vietnamese-style shakshuka, and the light, crisp baguette served with it was delicious. Overall, the flavors were vibrant and the atmosphere was lovely. The Coconut Cream Coffee was a highlight. This spot, located in the old Omega space, is definitely worth a try if you're in the mood for something different. read more

Ramie is a clean and elegant restaurant serving exceptional upscale Vietnamese food in Capitol Hill. I recently made a trip to Ramie for brunch, which runs from 10am to 2pm on the weekends. Ramie took over the longstanding OMEGA OUZERI, replacing the colorful and playful aesthetic with a more sleek vibe. It's a much darker and refined atmosphere. Coming in around 11am, the restaurant was not too busy. There were about five other parties and not a lot of staff members running the floor. It felt a little understaffed. In general, our server was there when we needed them, but not much more than that. The first thing to note is the size of the brunch menu. It is a little limited, without a ton of variety in dishes. There are four appetizers, pastries, six mains, and a few "banh mi combos" which are not well explained from the menu. The mains consist of three rice dishes, a dry pho, a more traditional pho, and a wagyu dish. We started off with the Pate Chaud, one of the two savory pastries. I really enjoyed it! The savory filling was rich and flavorful with a perfect pastry to compliment it. It was crunchy at the first bite while still flaky and chewy after. Ramie takes their own perspective on traditional Vietnamese dishes. All of the mains are relatively small portions, but the kitchen's technical ability really shines through in every dish. Compared to what you may expect from another pho restaurant, the pho at Ramie has a very clean and intense flavor that isn't too rich but is very beefy. Noodles were good, but the standout was the beef. In both the dry pho and the more traditional soup-based pho, the beef was extremely tender and well seasoned, making it a highlight in both dishes. The com tam was another highlight, featuring a perfectly cooked pork chop atop rice with a nice broth and fish sauce on the side. For how small the pork was, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was still juicy and moist while having a slightly crispy exterior. The dry pho tran bo was just alright to me. The featured beef was great, but the noodles were a little underwhelming. They had a nice chewy texture, but were clumped up at some parts making for some overly chewy, almost doughy. I also thought they were lacking in flavor. There was a nice contrast in textures with the fresh bean sprouts and garlic chives, but overall was nothing special to me. Although all of the food was tasty and well executed, I honestly wasn't blown away by anything we ate. All of the flavors were very refined and clean but almost to a fault. The dishes we had, aside from one highlight component, were a little boring to me, making for an overall uninspiring experience. When I think of Vietnamese food, I think of a harmonious balance of all flavors and tastes complimented by fresh ingredients and herbs. I didn't really feel like I got that experience from Ramie. It felt like a very westernized and "modern" take on Vietnamese cuisine that didn't really hit the spot for me. If you are looking for a more upscale and pleasant experience, Ramie is a great option. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly. Expect to see a side of Vietnamese cooking that perhaps you haven't seen before. However, if you are looking for a hearty bowl of noodle soup or filling comfort food, this definitely isn't the place. Dishes are expensive and portions are limited. With a clearly talented kitchen, I trust that Ramie will continue to innovate and improve. They have the potential to transform Vietnamese cuisine in Seattle, but aren't quite there yet with the current iteration of the menu. read more

I loved this place, the ambiance was amazing. They have a little coat check at the front. The servers give you an overview of the dishes and bring them out when you're finished with each, along with a new set of utensils if needed. Perfect Date night spot. We got four items which was more than enough, two appetizers, a carb, and a protein. The himachi crudo was amazing, so fresh and the granita like sauce on the side was such a refreshing compliment. The duck custard was so rich and fatty along with the Vietnamese herb. Wish there was like a piece of toast to balance it out, but very cool concept. The rice rolls were al's amazing, smothered in fish sauce and fried shallots, everything went super well together. The coffee rubbed ribs were good, maybe we could've gotten it with rice since it was a little salty. Rich and umami. Overall great restaurant and experience. Definitely recommended and would come again. read more

Booked the Valentine's experience for 2 - wow, that was not worth $300+ (22% service charge before tax? Ouch). The service was extremely slow - we spent over 2 hours there for 5 courses - and the delay between the third and fourth course was at least an hour. Worst of all the portion sizes were so tiny we had to eat a second dinner after just to make sure we were full. The overall ambiance was crowded - you can tell they tried to maximize profits by cramming as many tables into a small area as possible - and make sure you could hear the conversations all around you. I will say - I've been here before for their soft opening in May 2024 - from that experience I had high hopes. They definitely were understaffed today - it was so far below the bar I almost want to rate this a 1/5. The saving grace was that the food quality was at least ok. The drinks were also similarly "ok" (not "good", but ok). Would I come back again? Maybe - but this isn't on our list of "important food places to visit for 2025". My advice: if it's on your list of places to try - take it off - the hype is officially donezo here. read more

We came for a birthday celebration. Trinh and her team made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The plates are perfect for sharing and the pricing is spot on. Highlights of the night: the balut and that bone marrow! Already planning the return trip for their brunch menu. read more

Best happy hour value in all of Seattle. I freaking love this restaurant so much. Top fave 3 in all of Seattle. Tonight was my first visit for happy hour. Absolutely blown away by the offerings and what you get for the cost. The items on happy hour are as impressive as the full menu. Can't wait to come back soon. read more

We visited Ramie during happy hour on a Saturday night. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant itself has a wonderful ambience and the service is very attentive, friendly, and helpful. We started with the bread service which was absolutely delicious! The oysters, pickle sampler, and short ribs were all very good and discounted on the happy hour menu. This menu also included happy hour only beef betel leaf meatballs, which was one of our favorite dishes of the night! The pork belly was actually a very large portion and a perfect entree for sharing. We definitely left feeling very full and satisfied with the experience! read more

I was a little delayed to writing this review, so it's hard to remember the exact names of all the dishes we had. But did they leave a warm, comforting taste in my mouth that was a reminder of home. If you want modernized and comforting Vietnamese food, this is the place. The service is fast, my party felt attended to, and they were checking in on us frequently but not to where it's overbearing. We went for a happy hour, and everything was priced just nice. The lighting provides for some very nice photos for any occasion, and I really like how open the entire restaurant is, it makes it feel so free. read more

Elevated Vietnamese food that's done right! As someone who is fortunate enough to just call up my mom and ask her to cook something I'm craving, like sườn heo nướng (grilled pork ribs), I was hesitant to pay such steep prices at Ramie...I was wrong! My 2 friends and I tried most of the menu because everything sounded so good, but be warned because our bill was about $420 after tax and tips! Yes, prices are high but they take traditional flavors and dishes and turn them into something unique. It's an experience and a special occasion! A cute date night or birthday celebration could be justified here, if the prices aren't favorable for a regular dinner. Starting off with drinks - each cocktail was around $18-$19, but well crafted. My favorite cocktails were Trà trái cây and Cốm. Both were on the sweeter side. One that surprised me was Nấm because it was described as an Old Fashioned (I hate OFs) but I wanted to try it out because of the coconut milk-washed Larceny Bourbon and Nixta Corn Liqueur. It did have that after-punch of an OF but was smoother and more flavorful. Now to the food - EVERYTHING was delicious. My favorites were (basically everything) the bánh tiêu starter with whipped butter and honey, hột vịt lộn inspired egg custard appetizer, bò lá lốt beef tartare with shrimp chips, sườn heo nướng with coffee rub, thịt kho with seasoned rice, and finally the nấm hầu thủ that was executed so beautifully. Highly highly recommend trying this place out! Looks like they're thinking of exploring new menu options because they had pieces of paper at each table for guests to write down dish ideas or new techniques and flavors they would like to see. I'll definitely be back with my mom to see what she thinks of this modern twist on Vietnamese food. read more

We had a really nice dinner here and enjoyed the flavors so much! If you want HH, you sit in the back, so we decided to go for the regular dinner menu and sat in the main dining area. It's a little darker and more moody of an ambiance. The staff was all very kind and gave us a happy anniversary card signed by everyone, so when servers came they would wish us happy anniversary. We ended up putting the card away so they didn't have to say it each time haha The food and flavors were so good. We loved the different mignonettes for the oysters! We also got banh tieu, duck custard, mushroom (this tasted so amazingly meaty), rice roll, hamachi crudo, bone marrow, coffee rubbed ribs, and maybe a couple other things. Everything was very good, but the issue was that we waited 40 minutes for dessert with no update on how much longer it would be, or option to cancel if we didn't want to wait. We were feeling tired by the end of the meal so we were almost falling asleep at our table waiting for dessert. Other than that, it was an overall nice dinner! Not sure if we would be back, but we did enjoy our experience. read more

Ramie is a modern upscale Vietnamese restaurant that I recommend! We got to try several of their dishes and they were all stellar. The ones that stood out to me were the banh tieu (hollow bread) and tuy nuong (charred bone marrow). I'd definitely recommend getting those two! The banh tieu (hollow bread) was like a warm pillow beignet that tasted like toasted sesame seeds. And the whipped butter with the honey complemented it so well with its subtle sweetness. The tuy nuong (charred bone marrow), another favorite was ours, was very tender, flavorful, and juicy. It came with pho pillows which are like fried rice papers shaped like a pillow. One thing that I found lacking was that I wish they served a little more of the butternut squash puree with the ribs. Also we couldn't quite taste the coffee in the ribs, but it was still very enjoyable! Other than that, the service was excellent and I recommend you give this place a try! read more

This is my overall experience rating. The staff was excellent, and the presentation of the food was stunning. While the food was good, it felt quite pricey given the portion sizes. I appreciate the chefs' innovative approach to modernized Vietnamese dishes, but the flavors didn't quite match their creativity. The egg custard dish, served in an eggshell, was delicious but very small. We also ordered a rice dish, and the server informed us it would be presented in a style similar to pizza. It resembled a rice crispy snack--crunchy but again, quite small. The ribs were enjoyable, but I couldn't taste any coffee flavor or aroma. The puree was merely a small squirt on the plate, accompanied by just one ring of onion. The scallop dish was the most disappointing for me; the scallops lacked sweetness, and the corn tasted like grits, which was not the texture I was expecting. On a positive note, the rice roll dish was my favorite of the evening, featuring a delicious sauce and a great balance of textures with the noodles and crispy shallots/onions on top. Overall, I am unlikely to return, primarily due to the high prices relative to the portion sizes. read more

Service is nice. Restaurant is clean. Good location for business. This is an INSPIRED Viet food restaurent. If you want to try different Vietnamese dishes that are not in the typical Viet restaurants in the US, sure do this, because i can see it would be a new food journey for you. I like that Vietnamese foods are being elevated and advertised in a fancy way. If you expect to be full or good mom homecook or authentic streetfood, I think its better to choose different place. Food are ok, not a wow, portions are small. Good to experience once. read more
