The food is always good but the service is slow. The setting is terrible. They sat us in the bar. We had our children with us. The people at the bar were loud and lewd. Their language was offensive. The staff treat each other awful. The bartender(who seemed to be in charge)was rude to them and rude to us when we spoke to her about the language. She told us we should have sat out back. We were never given the option. read more

Just wanted to grab something tasty for lunch. I've been to Sei Bar many times for their countless dine in options, this was my first take out ever and I was not disappointed! The food was absolutely delish!!! Service was very friendly and wait time was very quick; especially given the freshness of the food! For $11 and some change I got my delicious combo with an equally delicious miso soup!!! Easy parking, friendly staff, amazing lunch, you can't go wrong! read more

Sei Bar - General Gao's Chicken - lunch special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

meal was very good. ordered takeout, ready on time, reasonably priced. Have gotten dinner from here a few times, consistently good.

This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for a decade. It's convenient, fast, and immaculate. The sushi is made right in front of you and has always been fresh and delicious. I've gone there on date night and I've had office parties there and it's always been awesome. As good as the food is, the staff is better. Especially Tiffany who does everything here including cooking, taking orders, bartending, and making everyone feel like their family. The first time I went there she waited on our table. 6 months later I came back for the second time. She it only remembered my name, she also remembered every dish we'd ordered the first time. I wish I could give Tiffany and Sei Bar 10 stars. read more

The service was incredible and everyone was so welcoming and the food and drinks were amazing. We were visiting from out of town and heard about this place so we decided to give it a try. The yellow tail, spider roll, and beef was definitely our favorite! Definitely a must visit here. read more

Based on the reviews this place seems to be hit or miss. Our regular Chinese restaurant is closed on Mondays so we decided to give Sei Bar a try ( we love the Everett location but it's too far for takeout). Portions are smaller than other places, but the food we got more than made up for it. Everything was fresh and tasted good. The pork fried rice really highlighted the pride and effort they take in their food, it was loaded with additional veggies. Chicken wings were a good size, well seasoned and well fried. The boneless ribs were tasty but too fatty for me, definitely need to trim off more of the fat but others may like that. Overall a decent option with good food and fast service. 3 stars instead of 4 because it's on the pricier side for takeout. read more

A pretty unique menu with some dishes I haven't seen anywhere else among the many dozens of Chinese and Japanese restaurants that I've attended throughout my adult life. The Beef Kushiyaki and basil fried rice for example are fantastic, and they have a really good selection of sushi as well. The service is excellent, with one waitress in particular who my girlfriend and I loved to converse with during our visits there when I lived in Medford a number of years ago now. The atmosphere is pretty classy but also relaxed, and the layout is interesting with the bar and wall in the center; the main dining areas are kind of split by the bar. read more

Picked up from this place for dinner and it was alright. We also drive by this place every week but never really noticed it until today and decided to give it a try since we're in a sushi mood. We got sushi duh and they're ok, no complaints except for the spicy scallop makis (they tasted a lil odd). We gave this place a 4/5 because 1. their spicy chicken wings aint spicy, it's saucey and sweet and we didn't know how to feel. 2. the spicy avocado salad which I was excited for, had more cucumbers than anything else (I was craving imitation crabmeat:( ) and yea it's a place that doesn't really focus on serving sushi & just Japanese cuisine. They also offer Chinese and Thai and Pan Asian dishes so next time, when we're in the mood for solidly sushi, we'd try another place. read more

I understand inflation, but businesses are not the only ones hurting. People also work hard for their money and so the expectations are still high. If you go up on prices but still deliver great quality food, I'm okay with paying the extra bucks. But come on! I am disappointed at the food quality that Seibar is providing. Their prices are up and their Ingredients are less. A huge disappointment. I spend about $25.00 on a Medford roll and gyoza. The roll was skimpy and full of tempura crumbs just a few strings of crab meat. The gyoza was the same quality as a super market. I should have learned from the last time I ordered, but I had faith today the food was going to be excellent like it used to be. read more

Over the years we have ordered from Sei Bar Medford less and less frequently. In general the sushi and the cold sesame noodles were the only consistently good food. Last Sunday night, in an effort to support local business, we ordered some sushi, some cold sesame noodles, and some chicken broccoli for the kiddo. The food was less than mediocre. Sushi wasn't fresh and was seemingly hacked apart w a butter knife. But the kicker came when we found a cockroach in my daughters bowl of chicken broccoli. A COCKROACH. I called and they said they would refund, but then they didn't and I had to have GrubHub get in touch with them to process the refund. Wouldn't have ordered again based just on the food, but with the roach I feel (sadly) compelled to write a review. read more

My family eats dinner there every year on Christmas and we thoroughly enjoy it. Thank you for the great food and service!

Decided to give this local place a try during covid since it had a 4.8/5 on doordash. Have tried numerous sushi spots in the area and every single one is better than this. Absolute bottom barrel expired garbage. Would be shocked if I don't get sick from eating it. Sushi is not fresh, presentation is appalling. $50 for 3 disgusting rolls(Idaho, Medford, crazy) and microwaved vegetable rolls. Plastic bag soy sauce and rotting ginger provided complimentary. read more

Everything they send out of the kitchen is fabulous! This is my favorite Sushi restaurant! I've been addicted to Sushi for over 50 years, thanks to an ex-husband. It just doesn't get any better than this!!! The Boat is a wonderful choice! Service is the best! We all are so fortunate to have them in our neighborhood! The staff is beyond fabulous...ready to make your adventure the best! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch yesterday. I ordered Miso soup. Soup arrives cold. I say can you heat this up for me its cold. The waitress looked at me like I was insane. She takes the soup back to the kitchen and 5 minutes later returns with the soup and its the same temp. I taste it and i said its still cold but eat it anyway. Well needless to say I didn't order anything else. Fast forward 30 minutes now I'm on the toilet with massive diarrhea..I can't prove it, but I'm certain the put something in my soup to cause this. I will never go to any of the multiple restaurants affiliated this this location.. Waitress was rude af to boot. read more

Food has gone downhill, commercialized, prices have skyrocketed and portion have shrunk. Always the regular drinkers at bar that you have to deal with who, depends on hour are sometimes annoying! read more

Hot and sour soup was waaaay too spicy! I called to complain and they told me literally that it's always best to make it LAVA spicy hot. I know the customer is not always correct however they should adjust. Also their hours of operation are always fluctuating- won't stay open much past nine pm - hopefully they can rectify this situation read more

Attentive service and tasty food! We ate outside. I was surprised to find cold noodles and sesame sauce on the menu- and had to get them. Aside from that, got veggie rolls- avocado, inari, and sweet potato. Wouldn't recommend the sweet potato- too heavy. My friend got a "salmon sandwich" that looked good. It was a sandwich of slightly toasted sushi rice, with raw salmon inside. He dipped it in a soy sauce wasabi mixture. May have to try that next time. read more

Came for take out after a long covid silence. Still the same delicious food and amazingly helpful staff.

Great sushi place for lunch. Stopped by with my coworkers yesterday, and was pleased to see the extensive (and cheap!) lunch menu. Lots of vegetarian options, and options for those who do not like sushi as well. I ordered the veggie maki lunch, and substituted a salad for the soup that it comes with. Everyone else ordered a bento box that looked amazing! Overall great experience, and you can't beat the cost. read more

Tried it for Uber Eats tonight and I don't think it was all the restaurants fault - my order was very delayed so my crab Rangoon was cold. I imagine it'd be great warm. Unfortunately I'm most upset that a "roll" of sushi is 4 pieces!! 4!!! That is not acceptable. I asked to add cream cheese, they did not. Avocado was brown, the whole thing wasn't good. read more

‼‼‼- Just ordered food from here, start eating and bite down on something metal...there's a sharp metal staple in the chicken. I called the restaurant and they offered me a fresh dish, no refund. I trashed the entire order, there's no way I'd feel comfortable eating any of it after this experience. Never ordering from there again! read more

Our first time trying this place for dinner. Cool spot in Medford! Loved the food and the house sei bar red and white wine. Specially the Sryah! The maki, rolls and soup was great as well as entrees a Spicy Basil Stir Fry ! Most importantly - Julie our server was the best server I have ever had ! Make sure when you visit- say Hi to Julie and you will have an awesome experience!! read more

Amazing food, great service; very impressed. Unlike other Asian food in the area. Definitely will visit again.

Love the Mai Tai and Bahama Mama cocktails. Super friendly staff! I never tried the sushi, but the tuna burger is dynamite.

new online system has too many quirks, they don't give proper descriptions of all entrees and they don't send soy sauce or utensils. ordered a dish called mango. I added chicken. they sent mango with chicken and vegetables. Nowhere in the description said vegetables were in the dish. Flavor is so blan with vegetable! Called to ask to remake dish and was told that its our fault because we need to be very specific when we order. no problem we are long time customers and have spent thousands of dollars at Sei Bar. they just lost our busines. read more

So far , the best Hunan Chinese food restaurant I have tried ! Spicy and hot-wok style dish. read more

Was pleasantly surprised to find that this is the best sushi that I've had so far in Boston. It's great quality fish, cut well and served well. On top of the amazing sushi, they also have an extensive Chinese/Thai menu, so if you go with people who aren't particularly into sushi, there are always options for them. I've gotten to know the staff, and love it there. I go at least once a week and am always anxious to bring friends there. It's also not super expensive...and they have a very robust drinking menu. read more

Great sushi: nice and fresh! The regular Asian food not that great. And it is a little pricey too read more

Amazing service. Like I mean FABULOUS! I went on a Wednesday with my friends and they were fantastic. Especially the bartender and our waitress, Julie. She was attentive and incredibly kind and personable! She is an ASSET!!!! I have also heard wonderful things about Christina! Julie gave us such a great experience and was more than awesome. We usually get take out, but after coming in for the first time, we will definitely be regulars! Love you all! Thank you!!! read more

Excellent and very fresh sushi and great service. Also Thai ice tea is very delicious

Sei Bar was really good. We wanted to try something different​ compared to Yoki or any of those big chain restaurants. I was amazed of the service in particular. The bartender was also the waitress and our food came out fast, attention was great, and she continued to check up on us when the bar was full and at least 2 other tables were​ filled. We got the sushi pizza and will def. get again. I recommend this spot! They also have a full bar! read more

My wife and I go here all the time and we love it!! We have been going for years because it is within walking distance of our home and because it is good! I always get the General Gaos Tuna which is quite filling so I am starting to broaden my horizons and get other entrees. My wife always gets the chicken cashew pad Thai which is also pretty good. So once this Corona virus pandemic is over I highly recommend Sei Bar!!! read more

This place used to be fantastic, I don't know what happened. Their food was very bland and expensive. The portions were small but we didn't like the food so it wasn't much of an issue. The spare ribs were fatty, orange chicken was weird tasting and had more orange slices than actual chicken. Not the place I remember. Won't be back. read more

Very nice place. The food is very high quality. And the spicy basil beef noodle dish is AMAZING. That alone will keep me coming back!

I have been Sei bar twice and both experiences were terrible. We wanted to celebrate my friends 22nd birthday and have heard they had good scorpion bowls. We showed up and a waitress looked to her coworker and maliciously said: "those girls think they are so pretty don't they". There were plenty of open tables but they refused to seat us after making us stand for half an hour without any Information. Finally they said If we don't all have massachusetts IDs, we can't eat there, which is the most unlikely and impracticable request ever. We left and ate at Yoshis at which we received the best service. I decided to try sei bar again. We were looking to have a nice dinner out and it was ruined by the unfriendly staff. The same waitress who insulted our group served us. (Description: Young, dark straight hair, no smile). She was evil and treated us like we were stupid and not worth her time. We were racing to leave by the end of our night. My friends food came out not as advertised and the waitress was completely unreceptive to switching it to something she would actually want to eat. Her response was "uhm what?". My friend then had to reason with her twice to not charge her for the food before finally getting a snarky "okay". (Also she would not serve us without passports and immediately made us feel very uncomfortable). Direct quote "screw the costumers". I am sure there are many great waitresses at sei bar, but this particularly appalling waitress has made us feel judged, unwelcome, and lowers the quality of the restaurant. read more

As we all know the SEI in SEI Bar stands for Sagene Eagre Illaqueate (Yes that is English). Roughly translated: A net in rising water ensnaring aquatic life for your feasting pleasure. This place is pretty jawsome. There are different rooms with different atmospheres for what you're looking for, and they have delivery and take out. The prices are a littttttle high I would say for the items quantity. That being said the food is delish. My date always complains when we go that the rice around the sushi is VERY thin, and doesn't even cover all of the sushi sometimes. She is a very detail oriented person. After I bedded her she had a hand written list of maneuvers I would have to improve. I digress. The drinks here are very alcoholic. The date is a lightweight but she was very happy go lucky by the bottom of her glass. Hence the bedding. I digress. The back room we were seated in was very dim lit and great for a date. The server did that thing where when she left the table she would back up bowing, like we were regal pillars of society and she but a mere mortal. I highly recommend giving this place a try. I was still hungry after, but I had skipped lunch that day, so maybe it was my own damn fault. Please don't forget to subscribe *points to top of screen*, we have a new review every Tuesday. And please comment below what your favorite kung fu movie is. read more

Most under rated restaurant in the area. How this place does not have 5 stars blows my mind. Everything we have ever eaten here has been amazing. The restaurant is good for dates, friends, family, hanging out watching the bruins, you name it. You can sit on one side of he restaurant which is bright and well lit where they make sushi in front of you to order. Or you can sit on the other side (the side we prefer) which is more dim and relaxed atmosphere. The staff is funny and knowledgeable. They will give you advice and help you navigate through the menu. The food always tastes fresh and clean, not like it is sitting under heating lamps in the back. The drinks are always really strong and delicious. You can't go wrong with Sei Bar. We are actually heading there now for dinner. Enjoy! read more

Maybe I should have just stuck with the Thai food on this menu...Sei no more sushi in your lunch special for $9.50? I got miso and then 5 pieces of sushi. Doesn't really seem like a full lunch for $9.50.... Good thing we also got one of their appetizer samplers which really was more of the thai type of food which included pretty tasty crab rangoons, some thai spring rolls that were nothing special, some fried chicken wings that actually I found pretty crispy and tasty, and then this super addicting beef spare ribs that were just too fun to pick up with our chop sticks not to eat all of. One person in our group got one of their thai dishes as a lunch special and really liked it--and then you get the entree, rice, salad, miso, a thai roll all for about $8. Definitely the winning choice. Sei bar, why didn't you Sei something?? That your thai food was a better buy and better tasting? My sushi lunch special was fine, just not the best sushi in the world. Jenni S. got a philadelphia roll and a cucumber avocado roll and wasn't too impressed. Definitely not Blue Fuji for this area for sushi. The inside is nice though, and they have a separate sushi bar too and separate larger banquet rooms too, so maybe I'll be back. I definitely would stick with ordering off the thai section though. read more

It was that hideous, nasty hot 97+ degree day we had last week. My delicate palate craved food, but nothing that would induce heat. The natural choice: sushi! I've driven past Sei Bar a buncha times. If you don't know it's there, you'll probably drive right by. It's not a place you'd be expecting to see where you see it. See, it's inbetween stuff, on the way to stuff, but not really anywhere on it's own. Anyway .... I ordered a spicy tuna roll (adequate), saba sashimi (watery and bland), shrimp tempura maki (serviceable), and something I can't remember that was less than memorable. My take out order (the place was awfully warm inside - bad sign for a SUSHI restaurant) came to $27.95. Kinda high price for what I got. If you're in the mood for overpriced suburban sushi, go to Yoki in Medford. They charge too much, but it's good enough that you won't feel guilty paying the price. read more
