Profile

With a name like SEA, it’s no wonder this futuristic-looking eatery excels at dishes from the deep. Try the red snapper with tamarind sauce, a cleverly presented whole fish that is flash fried until crispy and then covered in a deliciously balanced sweet and pungent sauce. In general, the sauces here have a tendency to outshine the dishes they accompany, like the delightful lemon lime sauce with mustard seeds on too-dry spring rolls. The curries err on the conservative side, so ask them to add extra spice if you really want to take the plunge.

Note

Went with a large group, and they were very accommodating. The food was great, the decor was cool, and the service was really good. Very affordable...most meals were $10-13. Great place for a group, date, or just to hang out.

My absolute favorite restaurant in the city. Chic decor, efficient waitstaff, large portions of delicious food (I always leave w leftovers), and nothing on the menu is more than $13. The only flaw sometimes you have to wait around for a table. But the longest I've ever waited was 20 minutes. In the end, it's worth it.
