Pretty space. Went for a quick and casual lunch during restaurant week. We were seated immediately. I enjoyed the chicken wontons and for entree we both had the black pepper prawns. Ivo provided great service, he was attentive and checked in just enough. No complaints, I'd come back. The oxtail spring roll was different not in a bad way, but I liked the wonton better. Crème Brûlée was yummy and a first try for me. read more

Say more please! This place has great service from the door man to the bathroom attendant. Staff is superb. The ambiance meets you at the street before you step into the restaurant, photo op. Beautiful mural . Enter in and the decor is stunningl. You truly get a feel for the design. Im not sure if there is an elevator but the actual restaurant is up a set of stairs. The space is big, as we were seated we kept walking pass seating areas and I thought to myself , we are still going lol. White table cloth service , sexy dim lighting but lit well enough to read the menu. Grown and sexy vibes. Very good looking crowd of people; something for everyone very diverse. It was a ladies night for me. Plenty of eye candy lol the fellas were also dressed nicely. Today's r&b , afro beats , reggae, a little hip hop was played and at the perfect volume. You can comfortably hear one another. Great date night, girls night or solo spot . They have a very long bar area. Its currently restaurant week and its such a good deal a app, entree and desert all for $45. It was 2 of us and we each got a different item to sample things: Oxtail spring rolls crispy outter layer, savory , tender meat 10/10 the dipping sauce isn't needed Chicken wonton were a 6/10 it seemed frozen and reheated Beijing chicken crispy flavor not a ton of batter 8/10 Black prawns plump flavor bombs , crisp vegetables a little salty for me 8/10 Both entrees served with a hefty side of white rice. We shared one rice and took the other to go with some of the left over protein. All the food came out nice and hot. Deserts Dark chocolate mousse I wasn't a fan too bitter for me Vanilla creme brulee also wasn't a fan a little bit of a weird after taste. It was my bestie birthday they brought a sparkler and some of the staff sang happy birthday with one of the items. There is a photo lady she was nice and roped us lol into buying 2 photos they come framed and with access to a digital copy $54. Cocktail Elderflower mojito very refreshing but it better be at $22 lol We took an Uber but the door man informed us they do offer valet. Right next door is a parking facility,Street parking seemed manageable for the area. Auto 20% gratuity was added to the bill. Attended here on a Friday night. I recommend making reservations. This was my first visit but will not be my last. read more

Sei Less had been on my NYC dining list for a while because I always hear the rapper Fabolous rave about it, so I had to see what the hype was about. Ironically, Fabolous and Maino ended up dining there the same night, I was just missing Jim Jones and Dave East! Maino was generous to take a picture with my friend I started with the French Kiss cocktail, and it definitely lived up to its name, it was strong in the best way. The lobster spoon, lobster mai sui, bok choy, and fried rice were all delicious, with every dish well-seasoned and flavorful. Service was a little on the slower side, but the food, atmosphere, and unexpected celebrity sightings made up for it. If you're looking for a trendy NYC spot with great food and a lively vibe, Sei Less is worth the visit. read more

I had a great experience at Sei Less! We were seated immediately, and our server checked on us frequently to make sure everything was perfect, which it was. We ordered the chicken satay, beef, shrimp, broccoli, rice, and salad. Everything was delicious, and the food came out quickly. The chicken satay especially stood out. It reminded me of Philippe Chow's chicken satay, which is a huge compliment. Between the attentive service, fast kitchen, and flavorful food, this was an excellent dining experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

All I can say is WOW. A friend of Joe's recommended Sei Less, as they know he loves him some good Asian fusion. We arrived a little early for our reso but they promptly seated us. The restaurant definitely has a cool vibe and is very clean. Our server, Ivo, was amazing from the start; prompt and friendly service. For starters we shared the oxtail spring rolls, spare ribs, and lobster spoons. Joe said it best when he said "I don't want any other oxtail. The spring rolls were tender and flavorful and I loved the dipping sauce they came with. Those ribs?! *chefs kiss* we must have made a scene while eating them because as another table was leaving, they stopped to ask us how the ribs were and the regret they had after seeing them arrive at our table. Now, those lobster spoons?? Mm mm MM! The beurre blanc the lobster sat in was buttery and super tasty, but that wasn't even the best lobster dish I ended up having. My our entrees I got the Sei Less Signature Lobster Noodles and Joe got the Filet Mignon and Broccoli. Good lord those noodles were delicious. They used thick udon, the WHOLE lobster, and the sauce that everything sat in was so rich. I also couldn't get over how beautiful this dish was. Joe's filet was exactly what you'd expect; tender and full of flavor. This is what you wish they could serve when you order beef and broccoli at your local Chinese spot lol! & you know we always have to end with a little treat. We kept it modest and went with the yuzu cheesecake served with a lychee ice cream. The lychee ice cream was such a nice mild balance to the richness of the cheesecake. There was also a yummy brittle served with the dessert that gave a nice bite to the whole dish. Simple delicious. I know this will not be our last visit. It is 6 am the next morning as I write this, and all I can think about is getting to my leftovers later today! read more

I wish there a 3.5. The ambiance was a 5. The service was a 2. There server charged me for two drinks when I only got one. She very rarely came around.

If it wasn't for the service, this would be a solid 4. read more

Went here for my cousins 30th bday. We have a private room which you can connect to their blue tooth and play your own music. Which was pretty cool. The staff is very nice and attentive. We had a pre fixe menu and I thought everything tasted great. The salt and peppers prawns were my fave and they were massive. Literally everything on the menu was great. It's a cute dimly lit restaurant. It's very pricey but I would definitely come again. read more

My cousin told me about this restaurant and based on the reviews that I saw on here, Google, and Instagram, I was down to try. When it comes to ambience, this place checks off every box. I loved the decor, lighting, furniture, and music. It's very spacious, and I really liked that they have separate areas for dining, large groups, and if you want do hookah. Our server was great and tried to accommodate as best as he could. We were very disappointed with the food. I was bummed they were out of the oxtail eggrolls. The items we ordered lacked flavor and just didn't hit. We ordered the chicken satay, the peanut sauce was a bit too thick and in our opinion didn't compliment the chicken and the chicken tasted pretty greasy. I ordered the shrimp dumplings and really enjoyed those. I also ordered the sea bass. It was a bit bland and the rice that was served on the side was hard. My cousin enjoyed the spice kung pao chicken. For drinks, we ordered the sidecar and lychee martini. I thought my drink was pretty good. If I'm ever in the area again, I think I would try it again just to see if I didn't choose the right options. read more

Alot of places, especially trending ones like this one are strictly hype. I will say, everything about Sei Less was divine. The ambiance, the food, the service, the drinks. I took my cousin out for her birthday back in April and I we were not disappointed. I hadn't even finished my meal and I already said I was coming back. We had the salt and pepper shrimp, black prawns, shrimp fried rice, and bok choy to share. the portions of rice are hefty enough to share, but if you a big dawg help yourself to the full serving. We had the Vanilla Creme Brulee for dessert which we shared and it was just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. Nothing was overpowered. Like I said, i will be back at some point. The food was fresh and good quality. They get two thumbs up from me!! If you love Asian cuisine, you will not be disappointed! Next time your friends ask if you want to go eat somewhere, Sei Less! read more

This place is one of the few places in NYC right now that is actually worth the hype. In terms of the location, it's weird because it's not where the GPS will tell you it's actually around the corner. Of course there is like no parking you will have to pay to park in a garage however the ambiance inside is so cute. Love the decor you have to go up a few steps though since the restaurant is upstairs. Everybody was attentive and nice from the waiter to the hostess. Loved the Saketini drink and all food was fresh. They even had creme brûlée and the salt and pepper prawns were amazing. I will be back! read more

It's restaurant week in nyc, and that means of course to try some really expensive Asian food lol. Seiless is the newest hotspot in the city, and i can see why. First, the ambiance in this place is super gorgeous! Talk about instagram and tik tok favorable. They had so many places for photos for your timeline. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 for decor alone. The service, at the bar.... I give them a 6/10 for bar service. I was awaiting my friend to join me so i sat at the bar for about 20 mins, and it was the hardest time trying to grab the attention of the bartender. She was chatting away with her people, and didn't really notice me until i had to physically wave my arms in the air for her to serve me. Once my friend arrived, i went to the hostess to inform her of my parties arrival, and not so long after she whisked us to our table. Our server was amazing for the table. He was very attentive. He made sure to check in on us a few times. We were heavy in girl talk so he was polite to not interrupt but also to move things along as they should. We ordered strictly off of the restaurant week menu. Which has some good options for $45. We ordered the chicken satay with peanut sauce, fried chicken wontons in sweet chili sauce, for appetizers. For entrees, we ordered the Beijing chicken with candied walnuts, and the black prawns which were in a black bean sauce. It also came with a side of white rice each for both, and for dessert we both ordered a crème brûlée. For drinks, which are $22 each, we had a lychee martini and a lemon drop. Both of them were great. All in all, i enjoyed my time here. The food was good, the chicken was crispy, and the chicken satay was nice and flavorful. The dessert was awesome. That was mine and my friends first time having that and we enjoyed it. The drinks were good too. We stuck with 1 drink each. We were heading for drinks later that evening that we already pre purchased. So $22 for each drink wasn't happening. Super cute spot tho. I'm giving it a 3.5/5. Will i return again, i feel like once you been to one, all the rest are truly the same. Same food, same cute vibe. Essentially, the same menu, so i might end up at panda next. You never know lol. See pics below. read more

My husband and I came here for our 1 year wedding anniversary dinner and we were both satisfied. We had a reservation for 8pm and were seated immediately. It also wasn't crowded, but it started to fill up a bit as the night progressed. The ambiance is upscale chic and they had 90s-2000's R&B playing which is right up my alley. I also appreciate that the volume was at an appropriate level to allow for table conversation. We started with the "Sei Less Drink More" cocktail (very passion fruit forward) and cucumber cooler which my husband ordered as a mocktail. The drinks were pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. For appetizers, we had the tempura rock shrimp and Peking duck spring rolls, which were both really tasty. For the main course, we had the lobster fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and black pepper steak. All were flavorful, but my only gripe was that my steak didn't come out super hot like the other items. Within a couple of minutes it was barely warm. I also felt like the sauce was a bit thick for my taste. Our waiter was attentive and personable, which was nice. This restaurant is expensive and gratuity is included, so no extra tip is necessary. Overall experience was good, but it's a one and done kind of place. read more

All you gotta do is, SEI LESS!! *Floetry cadance! OMFG let me start by saying how amazing the service was! They knew what I needed before I even asked, my cup was empty never, they kept the Shirley Temps coming! For starters me and the Mrs dined on some perfectly executed ribs and oxtail egg rolls. Food was so good I wish I can eat it in a never ending time loop! Better yet in boomerang fashion so I can eat the same bite over and over and over and over. For the main I had the filet mignon beef and broccoli, meat was so tender it slid down my throat effortlessly no freaky! Ifey had the lobster garlic noodles in their special Sei Less! The romantic ambiance and vibe really made the food taste that much better, and made me a little frisky! Good food just does something to me! To end the perfect meal we had the Yuzi cheesecake! Zero complaints! Sei less left me speechless!! Go now!!!! read more

The food is great! I enjoyed the proportions and the ambience is enchanting. If you enjoy a good authentic Asian meal I'd checked this place out. The service is great as well the waitresses and waiters as well as a host are all very nice and welcoming. This place is a bit pricey though. I didn't even get a full course meal yet my meal came up to $310 . It was worth the experience nonetheless. read more

The drinks were excellent -- I had an espresso martini with Baileys and it was perfectly made. The yellowtail was fresh and good quality, though it wasn't served in the typical ponzu-style sauce I'm used to, so it tasted different than expected (not bad, just unexpected). The spring salad was delicious, and the chicken lettuce cups were amazing -- definitely a standout. The rock shrimp was also delicious, and both the fried rice and lo mein were very good. I wasn't a big fan of the fried dumplings; they didn't have much flavor in my opinion. I also ordered the filet mignon -- it looked more well-done when it came out, but it was actually cooked perfectly medium to medium-plus. Overall, a great experience with a few highlights and only a small miss. read more

Okay, I'm going to give a heads up that I have very few pictures to share, because when the food came it was The Hunger Games, y'all. Went with a group of 14 or so, and we sat in the side room that was big enough it could have likely seated up to 20 or 25. This size was perfect. After cocktails, we shared a bunch of different appetizers -- chicken satay, a variety of dumplings, spring rolls. Everything was excellent, although I will say I didn't love the chicken satay. It was breaded and the peanut sauce tasted more buttery than peanutty. Don't get me wrong -- I still ate it, I'm not an ANIMAL... So it was good, just not what I was used to. Main courses? Two words for you: SESAME CHICKEN. This is not your average, hole-in-the-wall, Chinese takeout place sesame chicken (which is still pretty darn good) -- it was light, the chicken was tender, and the sauce had something addictive in it, not sure what it was, but I couldn't stop eating it. We also had the pepper beef which was excellent -- again, extremely tender beef, with a sauce that had a lovely kick to it. I had only a little bit of the noodles and fried rice that were circulated. I was definitely getting my protein on! Find a way, somehow, someway, to save room for dessert. How can an Asian fusion restaurant also be an outstanding bakery? Not sure whether they get their desserts from outside or make them themselves, but again, we circulated two platters of small desserts that they cut up for us so we could have a small piece of each. Cheesecake, strawberry tart, creme brûlée that was more like a cross between cheesecake and a traditional creme brûlée, and a magical chocolate THING whose name was, I think, "Oh my god this is so good." I cannot wait to return to this restaurant. It's an oasis of deliciousness with a speakeasy feel. Highly recommend! read more

Sei Less has a nice ambiance and is definitely a more high end/pricey place. I got the hot and sour soup to start and it was good and came in a large quantity for an appetizer. It tasted really good with white rice. The vegetable spring rolls were okay and not very crispy, I wouldn't get them again. The edemame was really good. I also got the vegetable dumplings and veggie Lo mein. I was happy with the amount of vegetarian options on the menu. The Lo mein was pretty good but I didn't love the dumplings.

Beautiful restaurant where you may spot a celebrity. Food and service were really good and prices and portions were actually proportionate in my opinion. Kung pao chicken w/jasmine rice-menu says with peanuts (traditional) however it came out with sesame seed glazed walnuts which was different for me, but a nice counter to the spice of the chicken. Really tasty, just a smidge salty Lobster spring rolls-really delicious King crab fried rice-delicious but king crab was a little hard to find and overall a smidge salty Shrimp lettuce wraps-delicious and didn't skimp on the shrimp Will most definitely return 9/10 read more

Came here with a friend for dinner and a little celebration--per usual, he picked the spot (and did not disappoint). I arrived a bit ahead of our reservation, so I grabbed a seat at the bar to wait, sipping on a beer. Once we were seated, our server greeted us right away--friendly, attentive, and efficient. Now, onto the good stuff: the food was absolutely delicious. The standout for me? The Short Rib Bao Buns--perfectly tender meat wrapped in pillowy-soft buns with just the right balance of richness and flavor. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, and what really impressed me was how clean and light the dishes tasted. Given the fusion-Asian influence, I expected heavier, oil-forward fare--especially with the fried items--but that wasn't the case at all. Each dish was flavorful without feeling greasy or overdone. The space itself has a cozy, intimate vibe--ideal for date nights or small group dinners--and the playlist added a nice touch to the overall ambiance. One heads-up: they include gratuity automatically in the bill, so keep an eye out to avoid double-tipping (my friend almost did!). All in all, a fantastic spot for modern Asian flavors done right, with great vibes to match. read more

Sei Less - Rock Shrimp Tempura Salt & Pepper Jumbo Prawns Lobster Spoons (4) Jade Caesar Salad - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

i have been wanting to patronize this restaurant for some time now as it has seem to be the "it" spot since opening. But, unfortunately, I was disappointed. I made a reservation for an early dinner before a show on a Monday night. As expected, the place was pretty empty. It was a tad bit hard to find as the scaffolding obstruct any view of the restaurant. There was a very small sign on the building that indicated to us this was the right spot. We were seated immediately and our waiter was there to pour us some water and service us. Food- 3/5... for the price paid, I expected more on the portions chicken wonton - 5/5 Filet mignon with broccoli - 2/5 (filet was tender but it stops there. The sauce used was very overpowering. So much so I could only eat two pieces of meat and two piece of broccoli. Kung Pao Chicken - 2/5 - definitely not enough POW in that chicken. Vegetable fried rice- 4/5, really good Drinks - 5/5 Had a Sidecar and it was delicious!! Service - 4/5 Though the service was top notch, i was confused on why the waiter brought out a sparkler in a cup for my birthday because we opted out of dessert. I would rather have nothing at all than a sparkler in a empty glass. Ambiance 5/5- Very beautiful place, well decorated with lovely colors in a dark dining setting Overall, overpriced mediocre food, stingy portions, not worth it. If you want to visit there, have a drink and appetizer at the lovely bar and check it off your list read more
