Vivienne's Bistro

The entrees were well done and elevated. The staff was very professional and nice. The decor was modern and had a cool vibe. We liked everything we had.

We had the soft shell crab appetizer, Peking Pork chop, and Sautéed Jumbo shrimp and Prawns. They were all perfectly cooked. The crab was delicate, crisp and light, even though they were both deep fried. The saute of seafood was delicious with a light sauce. We saw the the Forbidden Duck at another table, it looked amazing.

We booked a reservation same day for Sunday and a few days ahead of time for Thursday night (which seemed necessary since it was busy!) and had a great date night. We brought our little one and the staff kindly helped store her car seat.

Spicy wontons, spiced beef, chefs noodles, we’re all amazing. Can’t wait to go back!

So happy Vivienne picked Mercer Island!

Amazing new restaurant on the east side. Chinese food elevated to gourmet. Not only is the food amazingly delicious but the presentations are so beautifully crafted. Highlights were the duck (the caramelized lemons brought an amazing pop to the duck); crispy pork belly (my fave and a must order); soft shell crab (almost tempura like with their light but crispy coating); chicken wings topped with garlic butter and the black squid ink rice with bacon and cheese. The decor inside was nicely decorated and really loved the lights. For a soft opening, their service was great! Definitely will be returning often!

Excited for this restaurant to be open and in full swing! Have been lucky enough to go to soft opening and experience the elevated takes on classic Chinese dishes. The best duck in town by far, and the squid in rice - so delicious like nothing I’ve had before. Also great is the crispy pork belly. I’m sure this will be a regular spot for me when then open full-time.

We are excited to have a new Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. We had several dishes as takeout this week. The pot stickers and other dumplings were excellent as were the vegetable noodle dish and the honey walnut prawns. When we went into the restaurant to pick up our food we were very impressed with the decor and individual booth seating. We are very happy to have such a great place nearby.
