Lunch with appetizer/main entree costs only $30. Additional fee for a dessert and drinks. They have nice selections for their fixed menu .

We skipped dessert as we are already filled up by what we got. Our server was so great. Fast and friendly. She even volunteered to take our photo. My friends enjoyed their steak as their entree and rib for appetizer. The place is pretty neat especially its second floor with lots of chandeliers all over the dining area.

The oxtail spring rolls, rock shrimp tempura, and crab croquettes, however, were all delicious! For my entrée, I had the Beijing chicken, which was absolutely delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals as well, including the lo mein, fried rice, lamb chops, filet mignon beef and broccoli. The drinks were great, but the ambience really made the night. The space has an old-school speakeasy feel, with a very dark and mysterious entrance and an intimate, moody vibe. Great food, great drinks, and a really fun atmosphere. Definitely a memorable dining experience!

We were seated near the bar with a perfect view of the beautiful "Sei Less" wall art. Our waiter came over right away, took our drink order, and recommended some of their most popular appetizers. We ordered the sashimi, lobster spoons, and steamed chicken and vegetable dumplings. Everything was delicious, although we both thought the vegetable dumplings might be even better fried rather than steamed. For our entrée, we shared the chicken and vegetable lo mein, which was also a hit, and the edamame was so flavorful! We finished with the vanilla crème brûlée, and it was absolutely phenomenal--I'm honestly craving it again right now! Between the warm welcome, attentive service, gorgeous atmosphere, and delicious food, we had such a great experience at Sei Less and would definitely return!

The restaurant is medium sized, lots of booths, and was decorated for Valentine's Day. They take reservations and were pretty busy. Service was good, although a little slow at the beginning. I tried the following dishes: Cauliflower Manchurian (3/5): This dish was pretty good, but not amazing. I did enjoy it. Garlic Chili Noodles (3.5/5): Pretty good noodles, not very spicy but good flavor and consistency. Hakka Chili Chicken (4/5): I liked this chicken, but my dining partner did not. The chicken was boneless dark meat, which I really like. You can get it with no, light, or full gravy. We did full and had it with rice. I did enjoy this dish. Overall, I had a pretty good experience at HAKA. No dishes were real standouts, but they were all decent. It is not a bad option for Indo-Chinese in the area.

The menu has both indian and chinese dishes. It's not fusion just two different cuisines being sold. We ordered a roll that came with shrimp tempura, mango and salmon. It was very good, a warm grill that felt like a sandwich. The side galore noodles we ordered were dry and not very flavourful. We ordered shrimp with then and they came with fried/tempura shrimp, which we found odd. There was also egg on the dish but it did nothing for the noodles. We ordered the noodles regular so they should have had some sauce but there was none. The chicken dishes were both really good. The chicken wasn't overly fried or breaded. It tasted fresh and had a good bite to it. I like the spicy garlic chicken a bit more because of the spice. The haka chicken was more of a sweet and salty flavor. Both were tasty. If I'm in the area I'll come back here.

The Tyger Visited The Tyger NYC for a girls night out and…read morehonestly, everything was delicious. We made reservations and were seated within about 5 minutes of walking in. I was actually caught off guard by how much I enjoyed the food because I had seen so many mixed reviews online about several of the dishes we ended up ordering. Most of the menu is tapas/small plates meant for sharing family style, which I personally love for group dinners because everyone gets to try a little bit of everything. The ambiance was great. The restaurant had a really cozy, lively atmosphere, and our waitress was so sweet and relatable. She even moved us to another table once some seats deeper into the restaurant opened up because we were originally sitting near the entrance and every time the door opened, freezing cold air would hit us Small gesture, but very appreciated. Now for the food, The Charred Octopus with ginger and watermelon was DELICIOUS and probably my favorite dish of the night. The salty octopus paired with the sweetness of the watermelon was genuinely mind blowing. The octopus was also soft and tender. The Grilled Beef Sirloin Saté Skewers were good and tender. I liked the sauce they the skewers were brushed with. The Phnom Penh Fried Chicken completely surprised me. The chicken itself had so much flavor already, and then the sauce gave it an extra punch. Definitely one of the standout dishes of the night. The Stir Fried Water Spinach was very good and honestly acted as a little palate cleanser in between all the heavier dishes. The "Crying Tyger" Grilled Sirloin Steak was soft, tender, and cooked really well, it was okay flavor wise, but the cut of meat was amazing. The Crispy Lamb Ribs were also delicious and VERY soft. The only dish that fell slightly short for me was the Singaporean Chili Crab Fried Rice. It wasn't bad at all, and there were nice pieces of lump crab throughout, but compared to how amazing everything else was, this was the one dish I probably wouldn't reorder next time. I'd rather use that spot to try something else on the menu. I ordered the Furnace Bright cocktail since they're also known for cocktails, and that drink was really good too. But we loved it here so much that we've officially made The Tyger our designated girls night out dinner spot Everything was delicious.

Stand-out dishes included the sushi/sashimi omakase, the bone marrow fried rice, the cod on stick, the roast duck, and the wagyu sliced steak. The dessert tower was a perfect end to our feast.

Sea Thai has a beautiful atmosphere, but the billing practices completely ruined the experience…read more Our party of five was automatically charged a 20% gratuity calculated on the post-tax total, and then an additional 4% credit card surcharge was added. While these charges may have been disclosed, it felt like being nickel-and-dimed from every angle. I can understand a small neighborhood mom-and-pop restaurant passing along a modest credit card fee to help offset costs. But a restaurant of Sea Thai's caliber charging the maximum 4% credit card surcharge, on top of automatic gratuity, feels excessive and unnecessarily greedy. These are operating costs that should be reflected in the menu prices--not tacked onto the bill after the meal. The food was good, but the final bill left a much stronger impression than the meal itself. Instead of leaving excited to come back, we left feeling like the restaurant was focused on squeezing every last dollar out of its customers. Unfortunately, the billing practices overshadowed what could have been a great dining experience. I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for transparent, customer-friendly pricing.

Our typical dinner: Apps: Fried Oysters, Mochi Fried Tofu and Karaage Chicken before our Ramen and Beef Noodle Soup followed by Dessert: the last time we had Sweet Potato Creme Brûlée and White Chocolate Panna Cotta Pie, and drinks, they have an infused selection of cocktails but I like their Sapporo on tap. Everything is reasonably priced and the visual presentation is top notch every time we go! Having been to Nakamora (LES) and Tonchin (Midtown), Unoriginal Noodles is right on par with any of these and as it gets more and more popular, it will be as hard to get into as any of these as well. It is worth the trip to have a chef who has prior worked at Altro Paradiso, Mercer Kitchen, and Mesa Grill NYC making his passion for your pallet!

We got the tonkatsu and chicken ramen and the main takeaway is that both soups were unflavorful and overpriced. Some might call the broth "light" or "healthy" but neither broth base had any robust taste or accent, even despite the abundance of roasted garlic and onion. Nothing can be made spicy - there was chili oil but it just made the soup oily. The chashu had a nice flavor but was too tough. Having bone in chicken was difficult and unsatisfying. Hopefully some improvements can be made to these recipes as the service and ambience of the restaurant were great!
