Vivienne’s Contemporary Asian Cuisine has quickly established itself as a dining location for those seeking an innovative experience that honors traditional Asian flavors while embracing creative interpretation.

Owner and head chef Vivienne Lee draws inspiration from her travels throughout Asia. She crafts a menu that surprises and delights with unexpected flavor combinations while maintaining respect for authentic cooking techniques. The restaurant’s warm, modern interior creates an inviting atmosphere for casual dinners and special celebrations.

The Establishment Approach 

What sets Vivienne’s apart is its remarkable versatility and customer-centered approach. “We can accommodate different sizes of parties, occasions, and our chef would love to talk to you about your special menu,” explains the restaurant’s manager, highlighting their commitment to personalized service.

This flexibility has made Vivienne’s a favorite destination for milestone celebrations, business gatherings, and intimate dinners alike. The restaurant’s dedication to creating memorable dining experiences extends beyond the food to encompass every aspect of customer interaction.

Restaurant Promotions 

Currently, Vivienne’s is generating buzz with several promotional offerings designed to introduce more community members to their unique culinary vision. A popular “Taste of Asia” sampler special on Tuesday evenings allows diners to experience multiple small plates for a fixed price. At the same time, their weekend “Chef’s Selection” features limited-time creations that showcase seasonal ingredients.

These promotions have drawn attention to signature dishes that continue to earn rave customer reviews, including the innovative Peking Pork Chops, which incorporate peaches for a surprising sweet note.

Menu Standouts 

Another standout offering that has diners talking is the Slow-Braised Beef Short Ribs. This dish undergoes a meticulous 48-hour preparation process, resulting in remarkably tender meat. As one customer described it, it is “so tender and tasty we couldn’t stop eating it.”

Other menu highlights include a tea-smoked duck with house-made plum sauce and pan-seared lamb chops with five-spice glaze. Each dish demonstrates Vivienne’s commitment to balancing traditional techniques with contemporary presentation and unexpected flavor combinations.
