    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

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    First Impressions: this is a local spot and close enough to my apt to walk for Thai cravings. The…read morefood is really good and the prices are reasonable. 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

I will say it's bc I don't eat the noodles/egg it comes with, I order a side of rice. If you're looking for more bang for your buck but the same delicious flavor go to fish cheeks. I spend about $50 here and fish cheeks is only $30 and no shells.

    Time for a stomach reset!…read more This restaurant is not for those who are sensitive to flavor and spice. If salt and pepper are the only two spices you can handle, this is not the restaurant, rather not the cuisine, for you. Thai food is based on a multitude of factors. Colors, variety, and spice. What I got here reflects all of that, even if my pictures show a large shade of brown. My first item is the Kao Soi Ped, a coconut curry noodle soup with duck and shallots. I was incredibly afraid to eat the whole thing because coconut curry is a natural laxative. However, the dry noodles and crispy (and rather tasty) duck probably saved me from potential embarrassment. The dish evolved from a chow mein into almost like a duck ramen, which actually made it fun to eat despite the insane flavor bomb it packed. My go-to at any Thai restaurant is a Drunken Noodle, better known as a Pad Kee Mao. It carries quite a punch to the mouth in flavor. There is also plenty of variance on the plate with ample noodles and chicken. The amount of vegetables to protein to noodle is appropriately proportionate to each other. Not one piece of this dish is out of place. The spice also countered the richness of the curry and to my surprise, I finished the whole thing. I never go to a Thai restaurant without ordering a Thai Iced Tea, and this one does it as well as one can make it. My advice is to order it and save it for later, when the heat and flavors need some temperance from taking over your stomach, throat, and later, perhaps your bowels. For Upper West Side standards, this is par for the course in terms of price and value. It is also close by the 1 train when it comes to convenience, but keep in mind the kitchen closes for a bit as the restaurant shifts from lunch mode to dinner mode. Good thing the restaurant is not far from a few distractions to keep you entertained if you want to dine here but do not live in the neighborhood. Or you could just plan your trip accordingly like any normal person and stop in after 4:30 pm if you want to come here for dinner. Enjoy the experience.
