Beef Pho Tai
Deanna P.

I love this place! It never disappoints. Stopped in for a pho beef soup and a mango roll to go and it was delicious! Phillip, Liz, and Eliza were all super helpful! The staff here is phenomenal! I highly recommend this place if you have not tried. It's tucked into a corner of the shopping center and worth it to find!

Bun Bo Hue
Tramy T.

Overpriced... pork dish with rice for over $30?!? I went here to try that but that's not justifiable. I went ahead and tried other dishes. The flavor was nothing impressive... The banh mi was quite pricey and it was justifiable as it had lots of meat but the bread was super soft and not even hot... crispy bread is the key to a good banh mi for me. Bun bo hue broth tasted water down.

It's 2025, and Asian-fusion fare is the name of the game. Their dishes often incorporate ingredients from multiple culinary traditions, offering diverse flavors, modern twists on traditional dishes, and visually stunning presentations that appeal to adventurous patrons. Opened since 2017, we have made a return for lunch after 3 years. Located off of River Road along the picturesque waterfront in Edgewater, SEAK (Southeast Asian Kitchen) is a Vietnamese and Thai fusion restaurant. Upon entering, my partner and I were greeted by the staff and got a table inside a trendy Brooklyn industrial vibe, with the restaurant's modern, eclectic decor and a fabulous view of Upper Manhattan. Outdoor seating is also available during warmer weather. Their Viet-Thai menu features the classic pho, chili-salted chicken wings, pad thai, and banh mi frites. We decided on the Singapore Curry Noodles with Chicken and Pad See Ew with Tofu. The food came out quickly. The portions looked deceptively small, but it was authentic, tastefully delicious, and filling. The service was consistent and attentive. The price was comparable to the area. This isn't the kind of place that gets a lot of foot traffic. They are banking on impressing you to the point where you want to come back, which we can continue to recommend.

The food was good. Very generous portion size but definitely a little more mellow in spice. I would have appreciated a little more of a kick but I can understand if it's not for everyone. Service was quick and decor was cute. Restaurant is spacious with enough seating for bigger groups.

Singapore Curry Noodles
Rainey C.

Always love coming here for Thai/Viet food! Surprisingly though, the Singapore Curry Noodles is one of my fave dishes to get here and is a repeat order for me. Very flavorful and a good amount of spice. The portions are generous and the service is always great. When not Winter, they open up the patio for outdoor seating right by the water. Great vibe!!

SEAK pho

I saw this place had good reviews (thanks Yelp!) so decided to check it out for lunch on a Sunday with my family. It's convenient since I'm always at Trader Joe's (just like everyone other person in Edgewater) and it's in the same shopping center. The restaurant had a lot of indoor/outdoor seating with an outdoor terrace. We ordered the grilled shrimp summer rolls, the banh xeo, the SEAK pho, the Thai eggplant with chicken, and the lemongrass pork chops. The portions were huge, definitely larger than I was expecting. The pork chops really surprised me since even they were gigantic, they were still very juicy and had a strong lemongrass flavor. The other dishes were good too but definitely the pork chops were spectacular. Service was great as well, very fast and friendly. I would definitely come back, probably in the summer since we can sit on the terrace.

After Sojo spa morning we were hungry for lunch and so happy we yelped to find this awesome place! Great and extensive menu For Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Fresh ingredients and beautiful decor inside! We chose to sit outside overlooking the river! I was so hungry and didn't take more pics of the delicious food except for the crepe! But I can assure you our tom kha chicken and a tofu one was sizable and delicious!! Ordered drunken noodles with chicken and also Thai iced bubble teas! So glad we found this place. You can't go wrong!!

Taro bubble tea

Delicious food and they have seating right on the water. So many drinks, juices and bubble teas to choose from. Great app selection, loved the dumplings. Service was great.

Our first time going and we were there for lunch on a Tuesday. We love the ambiance and decor of the place. They also offer an outdoor seating but we stayed indoors since it was 90 degrees outside. Our greeter/server, Elizabeth was amazing. She offered best selection on the menu. Very attentive and friendly. We tried 2 appetizers: Vietnamese spring rolls and papaya salad. The spring rolls are quite small but packed with shrimp and vegetables. Delicious! The papaya salad is more of a mix of romaine lettuce and shredded papaya and grape tomatoes. Very light and fresh, subtle taste of fish sauce combined with palm sugar and Thai chili; sweet and slightly spicy. Yum! For the lunch specials, we got the Beef Bo lac lac, Thai basil chicken, lemongrass beef and Vietnamese pork chops. Everything was flavorful. Size of lunch dishes was big enough for all of us (4 of us) to share. Highly recommended!

Pork chops
Sheila G.

I haven't been out to a restaurant where I thoroughly enjoyed every single dish in such a long time, and Seak definitely did that for me! I mean, 3 large pork chops in 1 order, and no, it did not break the bank. Delicious and flavorful. The mango sticky rice with their own little twist on it, definitely recommend. The pad see ew, pretty traditional but still very good. The mussels came in a Delicious curry, the menu doesn't mention its spicy but it is. Still very good. Summer rolls were fresh, nice size and stuffed with ingredients. Great, clean restaurant with a nice view and patio for outdoor dining. Would I recommend this place, yes. Will I go back? Absolutely!

Ashley G.

It's a very atmospheric decor spot. We came here on a slow day and the service was great. The decor was very distinct on each wall. Some of the food was burnt. Their take on bahn mi is very good though. Without a doubt the food is really filling. So even if the portions look small don't let that deceive you. Pros: there is a parking lot and it's BYOB.

Ask the Community - SEAK

Can you accommodate group of 20?

Hello! Please call the restaurant directly at 201.402.3400 to make a reservation for a large party. Thank you!

Do u have to make reservations for a party of 6 for outdoor seating?

Hello! We accept reservations but not for the outdoor patio seating! The outdoor patio is first come first served.

Do they allow dogs on leash while eating in outdoor area?

I believe they do. The last time I was there a guest did have a smaller dog on leash next to us.

Do they deliver to Secaucus?

I highly doubt they will, too far out for them. Your best chance is using one of the delivery apps like Uber eats or GrubHub.

Are they having outdoor dining yet?

Yes. Reservations are only made when you go to the hostess booth.

Are they offering outdoor seating amidst COVID-19 conditions?

Yes, patio seating is available on a first come, first served basis! Happy dining!!

Is this place open these days?

Ordered from them about a week ago. They do take out via one of the delivery platforms.

Is this place halal?

No, Thai/Vietnamese

Is this joint good for little one? Not too tight or filled w hustle bustle?

During our busy times, it can get louder in the restaurant, but we always have young kids come in with their families who able to enjoy a good meal :) Booths are available for a cozier experience, too!

Does the Bahn mi rolls have gluten or is there a gluten free option?

Hi Arlene, our bread used to make Banh Mi is not gluten free. Thank you for posting the question!

Interior was homey and small with only a few tables inside. Everything is solidly priced, especially for this economy and don't think you can find much dinner entrees for under $15. Pad See Ew was $13 and Thai Tea was $3. I thought I'd never see those prices again but here we are! My entree was neatly packed and the Pad See Ew had so much flavor and a nice kick to it. Highly recommend this lovely little Thai spot! Will def be coming back to try more of their menu items.

You're much better off paying a couple of bucks more and getting the adult size (but avoid the duck, because it was cold, dry and - once again - very little). Their crispy pork gra pro ($15) was also very little, despite being a main dish listed under their Thai Specials. The dumplings were too tough and lacked flavor. I get that they have to pay rent, but despite leaving $60 on the table, we left hungry and had to finish lunch elsewhere. Last, it may not be a good idea to use 2 tables filled with objects and toys to take care and entertain a baby... when all they have are 8-10 seats. Unfortunately, no reason to go back.

The Noms: Ground pork basil rice- one of my default orders here... the meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned and mixed with rice and a fried egg is one of the most perfect comfort meals. Coconut sticky rice - I like to order this as a dine in order because then I can ask for more coconut cream, because they tend to be a bit skimpy with it. For deliveries, which I have done three times now... it's always very dry. In Conclusion: So after the first time my coconut sticky rice was too dry, I asked for extra coconut cream on the side for the second time but they forgot... then the third time they remembered but the packaging was so poorly done that it spilled everywhere in the bag. That time was the last straw... I can no longer order take out from them. It's awful. And when you call to give the owner feedback, he told me to return the food and he will remake it. Bruh. I'm on my lunch break at work, I've not got time for these shenanigans. When u tried to tell him I can't return the food, but please make sure to package my next order more securely... he hung up on me!! While the food is good and the restaurant clean... I will no longer order take out due to poor quality and the rudeness of the owner

Food was amazing thank you for the experience…read more I highly recommend the seafood option for its spice

All the buzz, but a little too much heat!…read more Up Thai feels like your quintessential neighborhood Thai restaurant that got a nice facelift and transformed into a lively, ornate dining destination. The space is compact yet cozy, with servers effortlessly weaving through narrow aisles and dishes flying out of the kitchen. It's a well-oiled operation, and the energy certainly adds to the experience. With thousands of near-perfect reviews setting our expectations pretty high, we were excited to dig in. We started with the Roti Massaman, featuring a small roti cut into four pieces alongside a vegetarian Massaman curry. The sweet, tangy flavors were pleasant enough, but the dish left us wanting more. Having enjoyed better versions elsewhere in the city, we missed that larger, flakier roti and a thicker, richer curry that really clings to the bread and lets you soak up every last bit of flavor. This one was decent, just not particularly memorable. Next came the Kee Mao Noodles (Drunken Noodles), and this is where things got interesting. We later learned that the dish comes "medium spicy" by default, but our first bite suggested otherwise. It was SPICY. Not the enjoyable, flavor-enhancing kind of heat, but the kind that gradually overwhelms everything else on the plate. The underlying flavors were actually quite good, which made it even more disappointing that the chilies completely stole the show. For context, we're no strangers to spicy food and have eaten at plenty of Thai restaurants across NYC. Yet by the time we finished, our stomachs were feeling the burn, and a frantic order of Thai iced tea became less of a treat and more of a rescue mission. I genuinely wish our server had given us a heads-up about the spice level. For anyone ordering the Kee Mao, I'd strongly recommend requesting a milder version unless you're actively looking for a serious chili challenge. And despite the Thai iced tea, we still ended up making an emergency stop at Anita Gelato afterward to cool things down. Not exactly how we envisioned ending dinner, but at least dessert was sorted! The verdict: Up Thai has plenty going for it: popularity, a buzzing atmosphere, efficient service, and a kitchen that clearly knows its flavors. But between the underwhelming Roti Massaman and the overpowering heat of the Kee Mao, our experience didn't quite live up to the hype. A solid neighborhood Thai spot with a little extra flair, but not quite the standout we were expecting. Order wisely, especially when it comes to spice!
