Theres about 15 tables so definitely make reservations I didn't really thjnk they were so different and outstanding compared to other thai restaurants but they offer good prices and service and are probably the best in the area. The jeeb dumplings were my favorite dish here, but I also liked the larb chicken mango salad and stir fry chicken. The staff is stand out - super friendly, shout out to Jimmy!

Lunch with appetizer/main entree costs only $30. Additional fee for a dessert and drinks. They have nice selections for their fixed menu . I picked the shrimp summer roll Thai style and Vietnamese pork chop with noodle and Chinese broccoli. I have never enjoyed my meal this much. A flavorful and enticing combo meal. We skipped dessert as we are already filled up by what we got. Our server was so great. Fast and friendly. She even volunteered to take our photo. My friends enjoyed their steak as their entree and rib for appetizer. The place is pretty neat especially its second floor with lots of chandeliers all over the dining area. It's a bit dark on our section . Sears and tables are old but still showing the used to be elegance of the place. Location is at the popular restaurant row. Will come back.

We started with a…read morevariety of appetizers, including the chicken satay with peanut sauce, which was a little heavy on the sauce for my taste. The oxtail spring rolls, rock shrimp tempura, and crab croquettes, however, were all delicious! For my entrée, I had the Beijing chicken, which was absolutely delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals as well, including the lo mein, fried rice, lamb chops, filet mignon beef and broccoli. The drinks were great, but the ambience really made the night. The space has an old-school speakeasy feel, with a very dark and mysterious entrance and an intimate, moody vibe. Great food, great drinks, and a really fun atmosphere. Definitely a memorable dining experience!

We were seated near the bar with a perfect view of the beautiful "Sei Less" wall art. Our waiter came over right away, took our drink order, and recommended some of their most popular appetizers. We ordered the sashimi, lobster spoons, and steamed chicken and vegetable dumplings. Everything was delicious, although we both thought the vegetable dumplings might be even better fried rather than steamed. For our entrée, we shared the chicken and vegetable lo mein, which was also a hit, and the edamame was so flavorful! We finished with the vanilla crème brûlée, and it was absolutely phenomenal--I'm honestly craving it again right now! Between the warm welcome, attentive service, gorgeous atmosphere, and delicious food, we had such a great experience at Sei Less and would definitely return!

Now, inexpensive - this place is not. But it did give our large group an evening to remember. The drinks were good, the gastropub-esque presentations on every dish were a feast to the eyes, and the flavor and perfection of the dishes were an equally impressive feast to the palate. Stand-out dishes included the sushi/sashimi omakase, the bone marrow fried rice, the cod on stick, the roast duck, and the wagyu sliced steak. The dessert tower was a perfect end to our feast.

Each dish had too much sauce, in general. Steamed dumplings were good. The pineapple cake was good and comped by our server as they lost our food ticket. I'd never go back - the scene had changed dramatically from what it once was. It's no longer hip and cool.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at this location, especially because it was my…read morebirthday and everything had been planned in advance. I specifically made a reservation for upstairs seating for my birthday. I was running late, so I called ahead and had my reservation changed to 9:30 PM when it was originally for 9pm. When I arrived, I was told that I could no longer be seated upstairs because of staffing issues and that the area was closed. This was frustrating because no one communicated this to me when I called to change my reservation nor when I book originally for 9pm. On arrival I spoke with Nick, the general manager, to understand what happened. He apologized for the inconvenience and told me he would make sure I still had a "wild experience." When I asked what he meant, the accommodation offered was dessert on the house. Considering this was a birthday reservation that had been planned in advance and my party was only two people, I would have appreciated more effort to accommodate us. Even if that meant having a staff member serve our table upstairs, I would have appreciated an attempt to honor the reservation rather than simply being told the area was closed. Unfortunately, a complimentary dessert did not make up for the lack of communication or the fact that the seating I specifically reserved for my birthday was no longer available. I ultimately decided to turn around and leave rather than stay and spend my birthday somewhere I was already disappointed with before even being seated. I understand that staffing issues happen, but better communication and a stronger effort to accommodate a reservation that was planned in advance would have made a huge difference. This was supposed to be part of my birthday celebration, and I left feeling extremely disappointed. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this location or another one of their locations.
