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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
