    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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!!

    Pork chops

    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!

    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.

    Traditional Banh Xeo Plate

    This is my second time at Seak . First time I had their pho so the second time around I wanted something new. I got their Bang Mi and I must say that was the star of the show. Who knew they were so tasty!? Their Banh Mi was crunchy yet soft, I really liked the fact that it was saucy. The presentation was on point! I got the grilled sesame beef and friend got the heritage pork. He preferred the pork which works for me because I enjoyed the beef more! I would definitely come back for that alone. I also ordered their Banh Xeo and was pleasantly surprised! I thought the exterior shell would be crunchy but this one was more soft. Either way I liked it and I would re-order it again. To get seated by the window you have to be a party of 4 or more and usually those are reserved. You can ask to be seated closer to the window. Guarantee I will be back for a 3rd visit!

    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!

You have to go in person to join the waitlist, and the staff will not seat you unless your full party is there. It is always fun going on the weekend because they have specialty menu items. The food is consistently tasty and served very quickly. A few highlights include: - Banh Chung | Crispy Rice Cake: A solid starter to share among two to four people. The texture is chewy with a light crispiness on the outside. There is also a vegetarian option. - Vegetarian Curry: A savory yellow curry made with a coconut milk base. Really appreciate the variety of seasonal vegetables included. - Bun Ca Hai Phong | Fried Fish and Tomato Noodle Soup: Highly recommend getting this during the weekend! A nice alternative to the typical meat-based dishes. The tilapia is lightly fried, so the tomato broth does not become overly heavy, and the dill helps cut through any extra oil to balance out the flavors. - The beef noodle soups are also very good, but are more classic options. The rice platters are great to share since the portions are generously sized. The staff are always friendly and helpful throughout the meal. Service is very fast, especially considering the restaurant has always been full.

I given a brief rundown of how the restaurant worked, then left to fill out my ordering card. The seating is short chairs and you may be sharing a table or bar type seating. I ordered the date drink and one of the sharables . When my food was served, person working asked me if I'd eaten this before, and when I said no she instructed me to mix the fermented shrimp paste until it became frothy and then to dip the items in the paste. She also let me know there were other sauce options (fish and soy) if I wished. It was delicious! My favorite item was the blood sausage but the tofu had a great texture and was more pleasant than I expected! The greens provided were a mix of cucumbers and various leaves more common in Vietnam so it was nice to try some again. I left feeling full, with maybe 3-4 tofu pieces left. Halfway through they brought me the fish sauce too, but I preferred the shrimp paste. As a heads up, this isn't casual Vietnamese food most Americans are used to, but the options are delicious!

Luckily, when we got there, the line wasn't too bad, but it quickly grew populous right after us. We got seated in one of a few narrow dining rooms that Mam owns. While I have never been to Vietnam, it feels like what they are serving feels authentic. Food: The menu is minimal and focused. We had the stuffed snails, fried prawns, and the signature bun dau mam tom. With its grounded snail mized with pork and aromatics, the stuffed snails were surprisingly approachable. It tasted more akin to a small meatball that tasted like wonton filling. The lemongrass-loaded fish sauce dip was delish. The prawns were deeply fried and crispy golden. Like a 3D shrimp chip, they packed so much flavor and went well with the side of ketchup. With its assortment of fried tofu, Vietnamese sausages, pork belly, intestines, blood sausage and everything else, it was a textural and flavorful journey. I loved taking the bits and pieces of herbs, vermicelli, and randomness, and popping it in my mouth like a pungent charcuterie. While I consider myself more on the adventurous side of eating, even the shrimp paste was too much for me. Definitely prefered a side of fish sauce more. While not everything on the plate I fully enjoyed, I am glad I tried it. I am so happy to see a Vietnamese spot that isn't just playing it safe. Ambiance: Probably my favorite part about this place. Playing on the angle of authenticity, the atmosphere feels more akin to street food on the side of the road. I love the intimate, unelegant feel of the small colorful kiddy tables and minimalist, worn down, industrial aesthetic. For that brief dining experience, I was no longer in NYC but tucked away in the belly of Hanoi. Service: Staff was very friendly. Although, they were occasionally difficutly to get ahold of, but totally understandable given how busy and chaotic it was.
