According to a recent article from the Seattle Eater, Trinh and Thai Nguyen of Ba Sa will be opening a new concept called Ramie at 1529 14th Avenue.
A representative of Ramie was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
According to the article from the Seattle Eater, “It’s not clear when exactly Ramie will open, though the Nguyens are aiming for spring. When it is up and running, the hours will be 3 to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.”
“The Nguyens moved from a refugee camp in Thailand to the U.S. when they were young children and later worked at their parents’ restaurant Pho T&N in Poulsbo (which they now run). Ba Sa, which opened just months before the onset of the COVID pandemic, combines traditional Vietnamese recipes with local ingredients and adds some global twists — a banh mi with karaage chicken, avocado spring rolls, a pear and cheese panna cotta for dessert.”
“Ramie sounds like it’ll be more of the same — the press release said that the menu will focus on “simple, old-school cooking techniques,” and the Nguyens spent December traveling Vietnam to help develop the food. “We literally ate and drank our way through Vietnam,” said Thai. Since this is Capitol Hill, there will also be plenty of cocktails.”
