Curiously nestled behind an enigmatic mural in Midtown, behind a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it door stands Sei Less, a newly minted Asian fusion restaurant. With close proximity to Madison Square Garden and the Garment District, Sei Less is the new hot spot that all fiveboroughs will be talking about.

Designed for evenings of enviable cuisine and distinctive revelry, the spacefeatures seating for 350 guests juxtaposed with a meticulously curatedcollection of modern art and clean lines, alongside traditional, hand carved Asian design elements in an homage to the architectural pagodas ofgenerations’ past.

The curated Pan-Asian menu with a one-of-a-kindcocktail experience as well as mocktails, for the sober-curious set, isdesigned to enhance every evening. In addition to the main dining area,the venue will offer 4 private dining areas to accommodate private parties and events.

The satays were very good, drinks were “ok” for such a nice place dress code should be enforced. Flip flops and tank tops are not it. Waiter was very attentive and helpful. Noise level i felt was good, not to laud not to quiet. Overall good date night spot.

The food was ok. We got a lot of options to make sure we tried everything. The service was great. The table next to us brought a very small child that was very loud so that was disappointing. The cost of the food was really high for what you get. The parking next door was 80$ for 1 hr? Over all we will not be back.

Great ambiance, good music, and great food. However, it's overpriced, and the value is not there unless you order fried rice. But that's just my opinion.

This wasn’t just a meal—it was a reminder of how good food can make you feel deeply satisfied. A true culinary embrace that leaves you nourished, grateful, and already planning your return. The filet with broccoli was my favorite! The texture was tender and juicy, with just the right texture. Every forkful delivered a rich, comforting warmth that made the dish feel both indulgent and familiar. The Grand Marnier prawns…created harmony on the plate. The Sei Less cocktail..perfect sips!
