Review: SEI

Initial thoughts:




  • Design and Decor:  Lavish white interior with dim lights.  Beautiful hanging Capese shells.  Similar to Oya.
  • Wait:  No wait.
  • Food:  Amazing and inventive!  The menu is super fun and one of my favorite restaurants that I've tried in a long time.  I loved the Fish and Chips Roll and the Triple Tuna.  

    • Drinks:  Extensive Sake, Wine and Cocktail list.  We loved the Lavender Margarita!
    • Price:  Reasonable.  Most dishes are small plates style around $10 each.  You could order 3 between 2 people and be good to go.  They also have a Prix Fixe 3 course dinner for $29.
    • Service:  Exceptional.  Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.  Thanks Walter.  Also, Steven Chiang, the manager, was very helpful
    • Would I go back?  Yes!

    SEI takes a modern twist on classic American with Asian flair in a prix fixe menu filled with inspiring dishes and mixing in innovative cocktails, such as, Liquid Wasabi Cocktail (this has a kick!), Asian Pear Sangria, Zen Collins or the Lavender Margarita.  
     We also tried the house-made ginger soda to cleanse our pallets.
