Food was great! The frozen beers are amazing. Great for big groups as they have a lot of sharable dishes.

We got the beef sukiyaki and the wagyu beef tartar/sashimi combo. For some reason they were sold out of the Wagyu beef tartar but it was available in combos. The sukiyaki was good with nice thinly sliced beef. We ended up ordering more beef slices too. I really liked the sweet sukiyaki broth and the raw egg and dipping sauce that came with it complimented it nicely. The Wagyu beef tartare was my favorite. It was seasoned really well and paired deliciously with the salad and ponzu sauce. The salmon sashimi was a little thin and nothing special. You can tell this place specializes more in beef! Food came quick. They have an electronic menu that you can order and call the server with which was nice. Place is dimly lit and intimate. read more

Really cute izakaya with a pretty good variety of dishes! Some friends and I were looking to grab a quick bite, and we didn't have any problems making a reservation during dinner hour on a Wednesday. The sukiyaki broth was super clean (and I quite liked both the egg and sweet dipping sauce) - I think I would've liked more mushrooms and tofu, since the meat is piled on top of a pretty large bed of bean sprouts, but no complaints here. I really liked the pork jowl and beef tendon nabe; again, really clean flavors in a light broth, but the textures were super diverse (pork jowl was meaty and chewy; chives and cabbage gradually softened over time; and the beef tendon had a great bite). Favorite of the night was definitely the seafood jjampong; the broth was a lot creamier than most, but the texture was great and really coats all of the noodles. Would definitely reorder this. read more

Came here on a wednesday evening at 7 PM with a reservation for 2. It wasn't too busy and had a very classy interior. You order on a screen at each table, and they are very quick to bring out your food. We shared the beef sukiyaki and the spicy seafood jjamppong. I really enjoyed the flavors of the ingredients with the broth of the sukiyaki and the egg dipping sauce. It looks like it comes with a lot of meat, but be aware that it's only a layer of sliced beef on top of a bunch of bean sprouts. The spicy seafood jjamppong was spicier than we were expecting. I liked the bits of seafood that it came with, as well as the vegetables and roe. Both dishes had very large portion sizes and were great value. They also gave us some free pineapple with condensed milk for posting a photo of our food on an instagram story. read more

Izakaya Seasun is a cute & vibey izakaya. It gives great party vibes and the staff is super kind. Our party of 6 really enjoyed the food and the portion sizes were great! + Tendon + Pork Jowl Nabe [5/5]: Soooo delicious. I loved literally everything in this nabe. The pork jowl was okay-tender, and the tendon was out-of-this-world! I loved the chives down the middle. + Sukiyaki Nabe [4/5]: I personally didn't like this but all of the 5 other girls I ate with LOVEDD this. Great sukiyaki taste and comes with an abundant amount of soup and fillings. + Wagyu Tartare [4/5]: I usually don't like tartare but this was done really well. Not too gamey and the bites were the perfect size. We came on a Sunday night so the vibes were pretty quiet, but this looks like a great place to have some chill drinks and food with a large group of people. Would definitely recommend! read more

It was valentine's weekend and I had the impossible task of calling an audible around a spontaneous, last minute Saturday night reservation that wasn't a pre-fixe. Izakaya Seasun looked promising, and they are on Yelp Waitlist, meaning I could join a virtual queue to track my place in line. I'm forever wishing more restaurants would use this feature, and Seasun executed it flawlessly. I timed my arrival so I'd get there right as I hit the front of the line, and was seated immediately. The place had the energy of a late night eatery you'd stumble into at an Asian night market, serving boozey drinks and greasy food to accompany it. We kicked things off with a couple of frozen Kirins, which hit exactly right. You order via ipad at the table, and the food came out quickly. I went with the spicy pot chicken with rice noodles and the creamy crab pasta. Both were aggressively spicy, even for my standards, wherein the frozen Kirins became less of a choice and more like a lifeline. Our server came over to ask us to submit a song request, which they'd add to the restaurant's playlist "to recognize your love or whatever." I thought it was pretty gimmicky at first, but when my song ended up coming on, the haze of the spice combined with the cold burn of the kirin made me feel like I was in the closing scene of a romantic film, my date's eyes catching the light just a little more than usual. read more

An aroma drifted out into the street in soft white tendrils, a smoky hand beckoning me and assailing my nose with a smell I could not ignore. I was so happy that we stumbled onto this gem of a place. The Japanese inspired decorations with the massive retro speakers in the wall gave this place a cozy, vintage, jazz ambiance. I loved the eclectic wallpapers and the cat logo. The smell of meat permeated the air and we quickly ordered a plethora of food. We tore through the meat and tteokbokki and were fully satisfied. However, the matcha makgeolli tasted just like Melona ice cream and I'm itching to go back. Life revolves around simple joys and there's nothing that quite beats good company+food+alcohol. This place is very good and I highly recommend you drag your friends out for a Friday night vibe :) read more

This is our favorite spot for some delicious shabu-shabu after a great workout. This Korean eatery adopts the best of Japanese and Korean comfort food. You can browse the menu and order directly from the iPad, but the servers are always available to give recommendations. The portions were generous, as the two of us typically split a hotpot with a huge bowl of makgeolli. The prices are very reasonable too! read more

Came on a Friday with a resy for 2 at 7:30pm and they were busy. We still had to wait an additional 20 minutes although they did give us the booth seating. We got: - Beef Sukiyaki: comforting, the soup base wasn't too sweet which some sukiyaki base can be - Beef Motsunabe: similar broth to the sukiyaki, it didn't feel heavy/fatty - Seafood Cheese Tteokbokki: Avoid. The pot looked hefty, but the not so fresh crabs took up most of the room. Maybe 6 pieces of tteok and the mussel meat were very small - Matcha Makgeolli: unique, you can taste the subtle matcha Service was attentive. Easy ordering from a tablet on the table. Kpop jams were playing all night, all around good vibes. Prices were fair too. read more

The food is decent and the atmosphere is nice. The 2 person table in the side are a little too small, but they'll usually let you sit at a bigger table if you ask. All of the food was decent, but none of it blew my mind. If I come back, I'd look forward to trying some of there other soups and noodles. One comment is that the strawberries in the dessert were so cold and frozen that it was like biting into an ice cube. read more

This place was all over my social media so I definitely wanted to try it. My friends and I came for dinner on a Monday at around 6 pm. I would highly recommend making reservations since they were pretty busy even on a Monday for dinner. They have little tablets on each table so that you can order directly from your table - all the menu items had images so that was nice to see what exactly you were ordering. We decided to do family style and share everything. -Beef Sukiyaki Hotpot: This was one of their highly recommend dishes and for good reason. It was so yummy and delicious. They pretty much put a hot pot stove on your table and you make everything yourself- keep in mind the portion size is not that big so if you have two I would recommend two hotpot dishes. -Waygu Beef Tartare: This was also very good, especially if you are a fan of beef tartare -Jjapaghetti with egg and cheese: This is a fairly basic dish but pretty good honestly, slightly on the spicy side so something to keep in mind -Sweet Potato fries: We really love our fries around here ; nothing too special but they were pretty crispy. -Yakult slush: This was super frozen when it came out but so yummy and delicious. A good end to the meal. Overall solid food and a great place to check out for dinner! read more

Super cozy izakaya spot that serves a mix of Korean & Japanese influenced dishes. The food here is pretty solid, but portions are definitely a bit on the smaller side. For a party of 2, I would say you need at least 1 nabe and 2 other dishes, and for a party of 3, we needed 2 hotpots and 2 other dishes. I'm not a huge fan of sukiyaki, but the sukiyaki here is pretty good and not overly sweet. The portions are a little deceiving though; the meat slices are on top of a giant bed of beansprouts so it's not actually that much meat. I loved both the spicy crab pasta and spicy pork jowl pastas. They are quite spicy though but the flavors are good! The jjamppong is interesting - it's the first non-spicy one I've had but you do taste the pepper. Drinks are tasty - I enjoyed the yuzu highball. Highly recommend reservations because the restaurant fills up quickly even on weeknights. read more

Cute spot, cute decor. Servers were extremely nice, no complaints there. The spicy crab pasta is VERY spicy and is only imitation crab. Still good but I wouldn't order again as it was a bit too spicy for my personal taste. Matcha makgeolli was delicious but could barely taste any alcohol. Still enjoyable and would order again. The pork and beef tendon pot was perfectly seasoned and balanced. I would come back to try some of their tartare and sashimi dishes. read more

Still mind-blown by the food here... this is easily my top favorite izakaya spot in NYC. Seasun? a popular izakaya originally from South Korea, has blown up in NYC since opening. They bring a delicious mix of Japanese and Korean flavors. The ambiance is a 10/10: super cute cat mascots everywhere, cozy dining booths, and cool speaker-themed decor. I already knew I'd be coming back for both the food and the vibes! Portion sizes are typical izakaya-style (iykyk), except for the ginormous bingsu. ＊Beef Sukiyaki $28** The sukiyaki was served with sliced beef and tofu arranged in a circle. The broth was sweet and savory. Dipping the meat in raw egg made it extra rich and silky. I'd definitely add udon to soak up every last bit of the delicious broth next time. ＊Wagyu Beef Tartare & Salmon Sashimi $29** The wagyu beef tartare tasted absolutely divine after mixing it with the raw egg yolk. I wrapped it all--beef tartare, salmon, and onion drizzled with sesame sauce--in seaweed for the perfect bite. ＊Cheese Curry Katsu $20 I just couldn't resist the cheesy center wrapped in the pork katsu. It was so good, especially with the curry. I do wish they had given more rice though, as there was only a thin layer under the katsu. ＊Cup Ramen Fried Rice $16 The fried rice was saucy and spicy, with some noodle bits mixed in. It's not a must-get, but it's a good way to get some carbs and fill you up. ＊Snowflake Strawberry Bingsu $23* Make sure to save room for their bingsu!! My jaw dropped when I saw this mini tower of strawberries. The strawberries were a little too frozen for me, but the snowflake shaved ice underneath was so light, fluffy, and milky. To my surprise, it had little mochi balls too! ＊Earl Grey Highball $15* ＊Mango Highball $15 We asked for non-alcoholic versions, and they tasted amazing! The mango highball was new and had mango chunks in it. Highly recommend the earl grey one -- it tasted like tea soda and I enjoyed it. read more

Might be my new favorite Korean spot in Manhattan! I would genuinely order every dish again. From spice to texture to serving size, this spot didn't disappoint. I came on a Tuesday evening, a little before dinner time, and it was still a packed house. The beef tartare is my #1 recommendation. Great quality and eating experience since it comes with fried seaweed wraps. The cumin wings are extremely flavorful. Bold and addicting. I wish more places seasoned their meat/food to this level. The buldak salmon doesn't skimp on spice--be warned! I fully enjoyed it but it definitely was too strong for my friend. The matcha drinks are super tasty too. Very sweet, which I like. You could barely taste any alcohol. Loved the interior. True modern pocha experience that not many places in USA emulate. read more

I made a reservation a few days in advance on Yelp, which I would recommend because there were several parties with no reservation who had to wait. We ordered the beef sukiyaki, salmon sashimi and wagyu tartare, and kimchi pancakes for our main food. The sashimi and tartare were both fresh and the tartare was flavored nicely. The kimchi pancake was ok, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. The beef sukiyaki had good flavor and the presentation is nice but it is a bit hard to cook everything in the dish provided. We also ordered the matcha makgeolli and mango Bingsu. They whisk the matcha in front of you and pour it in to the bowl. I honestly normally don't like makgeolli that much but this was super tasty and you could barely taste the alcohol. The mango Bingsu was also pretty good - super nice and fluffy! It looks bigger than it actually is since a lot of the height is from the whipped cream, but it's still a big portion. There's also some mochi in it which was a nice surprise! read more

Ordered the beef sukiyaki, spicy pork cream pasta, and matcha makgeolli. The beef sukiyaki was the best I've had. The meat was good quality. The marbling was gorgeous. The soup had a good flavor to it. It was sweet but also savory. They also gave a surprising good amount for the price. The spicy pork cream pasta was great. The sauce was definitely very creamy and tasty, and the spice added a good kick to it. The matcha makgeolli was a good experience. It was cool watching them whisk the matcha in front of you into the makgeolli. They gave a lot, so I'd recommend getting this item if you have more than 2 people. This is an item you could easily make at home though, so I would skip out on this one if needed. Overall, the vibe was great. They had anime music playing in the background. Super fun place to eat and chat with friends. read more

Make sure you get on the waitlist via Yelp or have a reservation - Izakaya Seasun is always busy! The food here is pretty good, but doesn't easily accommodate groups of 6 or larger. We had a group of 6 and had to squeeze 3 to each side of a booth and it was hard to find table space for everything. The food was really good here, I want to come back with 1 or 2 people to fully enjoy the meal. The crab cream pasta was my favorite, it had a nice kick to it. Vibe was also chill here, will be back! read more

Yes I liked their spicy chicken and rice noodles and that it comes in a little stove pot and you can get it bubbling and hot. Flavor wise it tastes like buldak and really loving that.

Such a great, affordable restaurant with so many great food options. The restaurant is dark with cozy soft lighting, so sometimes it can be difficult to see around the table, but your eyes adjust quickly! The staff are always attentive and welcoming. And the food tastes great. I always bring my friends here when I'm back in the city. My favorite was the wagyu tartare with salmon and the sukiyaki. You can order sides for the sukiyaki, such as extra veggies or extra meat, for an extra charge (but honestly, I think it is worth it). I do not recommend the okonomiyaki because it was underwhelming, but all the other dishes I got were 5/5. I highly recommend it! P.S--if you are planning to come on a weekend, go ahead and make a reservation because there's always a line/wait if you try to do a walk-in. read more

Honestly, I think this place keeps getting better and better. I wasn't too impressed when I first came, but this past weekend was my 4th time coming and I was actually impressed at everything. From the throwback songs they were playing to every dish hitting the spot, I think this restaurant will now be somewhere I will want to bring my friends who are visiting NYC! Their new menu items are actually so yummy. We tried the matcha makgeolli which literally just tastes like matcha latte, and the mala sukiyaki which had the perfect kick of mala. The corn cheese is a bit on the sweeter side and there isn't THAT much corn (more cheese) but it was still yummy. I would always recommend any of the beef tartare as they season it perfectly and it's always a crowd favorite. It does get busy but every staff tries to make sure that you have water and clean the table as they go. I will definitely be coming back! read more

My boyfriend and I spent 12 hours in NYC and we were looking for a late night dinner spot upon arrival! We stopped at 2 bars before and had cocktails then ended our night at this incredible Izakaya. The restaurant is low lit, with the CUTEST bamboo deco (equip with mini stuffed pandas). You order and call your server on a tablet, which makes the dining experience efficient and fast! We tried the Izakaya skewers, the enoki mushrooms wrapped in beef was my favorite! We also loved the gochugang pork belly but it was SPICY! It went perfect with the chapaghetti noodles. They also gave us a complimentary Banana milk at the end of our meal which was the PERFECT end to the experience, and a yummy sweet treat! I would love to return and try more items! read more

Newer addition to the Korean bar scene in the city. They get extra points for not being in Ktown! Calm & moody with old school "vintage" Korean vibes. It honestly feels better as a date night spot or small group gatherings bc you can hear each other speak! You self-order using the kiosks at each table. The raw dishes were the stars - wagyu tartare & sashimi combo super good. A must order The hamachi was also fresh but the cut was a bit off. Hot dishes helped ease in the drinks, oden and sukiyaki both good but on the saltier side. Our final choice was the spicy beef tendon glass noodles.

Heard amazing things about the place so had to come try it! Made a reservation for 4 on Saturday night at 6:30pm. The ambiance was pretty cute but loud since there were a lot of tables. We ordered a few dishes and got to chowing! We ordered the beef and salmon tartare, fried chicken wings, assorted skewers and pork jowl/beef tendon. This was done all through the tablet. The food didn't take long to arrive. The pork jowl/beef tendon dish is cooked in a pot with vegetables in front of you by the staff. They come back every so often until it's ready. This was pretty good and flavorful with some soup over rice. I think for us, the star was the beef and salmon tartare. The beef was so flavorful with the egg yolk and the salmon was just so soft and buttery. We only got 4 dishes but definitely want to try the rest read more

Amazing addition to the neighborhood! Izakaya Seasun is definitely unique and stands out from the other restaurants in the area. I love the fun vibes and cute interior (the little touches of cats are so cute :)) I haven't tried their yakitori or sashimi yet, so I can't speak on those. But their sukiyaki hot pot and other dishes are so tasty! The spicy chicken with wide noodles is extremely spicy (my spice tolerance is a 6/10) but tasty -- I love the texture of the chew noodles! Yes, ordering is done on an ipad, but the service we received was spectacular. For example, they have this sac sac grape soju cocktail. We asked if we could get the sac sac grape soda drink itself because one of our friends doesn't drink alcohol. Initially, the server apologized and said no because it's not on the menu. She went out of her way and came back later to give us one! How sweet is that?? Price is decent too, one of the more affordable meals I've had in the area!
