crème brûlée and mochi ice cream

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.

Chicken Wings
Stephanie B.

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.

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.

Gyoza. They were so bad. Tasted like the ones from supermarket. Barely had any meat.

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.

Chicken, broccoli, roach
Smar T.

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.

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.

One serving of sushi - 61. Crazy Maki (Shrimp Tempura Maki)

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.

Metal in my food.

**November 2025: Saturday Night Visit**…read more My friend and I had been driving all day and were staying at the Hyatt Medford Hotel just down the street. The Medford/Boston area seemed to all have limited parking so we were looking for a dinner option that didn't require us to drive since we were sick of circling around. Matsuba Izakaya was just a 5 minute walk away from the hotel so we we braved the cold for some delicious food. When we arrived at the restaurant we were escorted toward the back of the restaurant which was very warm and inviting. I ordered the mini omakase for $55 and was super impressed with the presentation and variety of seafood. I was presented a box of 9 different seafood offerings: uni, toro, salmon belly, fish liver, raw shrimp & fried shrimp head tempura, scallops. yellowtail, and squid. The uni and toro were fantastic, and I enjoyed everything else except for the salmon belly. For some reason the salmon belly wasn't ultra creamy - maybe it wasn't thawed enough, which is a shame because I love salmon sashimi. Nevertheless, for the presentation and price I was really impressed with the variety. It also came with a miso soup which really warmed me up quickly.

There generally is a wait but I wouldn't let that deter you as it is worth the wait. The sushi is always freshly prepared, they have some unique side dishes and sushi/maki offerings too.

What I can remember is that all the food had great visual appeal. Additionally, the flavors from the main ingredient, sauce, and condiments were artfully balanced. I felt that none of the ingredients in the dishes I ordered were decorative. My only minor disappointment is the small portion (though I get that US portions are typically giant...). Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Great service even if there was only 1-2 waiters. Wait-time is decent. Cleanliness is impeccable. One minor negative is the positioning of some of the table that sees the fan above them--the fan sits just below the light bulb and creates a "strobe-light" effect at night. This was incredibly disturbing for me and I had to face diagonally downwards most of the time to avoid the flickering at the top-corner of my eyes. Price (0.5/1): As much as I love what they've created, I just feel the price for the portion we receive is on the expensive side. Rounded to 4 because I love the place.

Service - Servers were polite and attentive to our needs, filling waters before they were emptied, checking in on our food, etc. Food - Torch Toro Maki: 9/10 Really delicious & flavorful, the roll just melts in your mouth Million Dollar Maki: 10/10 This was my favorite roll with yellowtail, tuna, and salmon. In one bite you get a ton of fish and it tastes so satisfying! Salmon & Spicy Scallop Maki: 8/10 I did not love the mayo sauce on top but the roll is still delicious! The scallops and salmon pair nicely together Tenzaru Cold Soba This dish was so satisfying on a hot day! I really enjoyed the wasabi that comes with the soba noodles - it tastes fresh and sweet.
