I had an exceptional experience at SEA. everything was great, most things excellent. The crudo and tartare were fine and still a great amuse.
The Tom yum noodles were under an awesome bed of herbs. The ribs, prawns, and eggs were all great. Ribs were perfectly tender. Prawns were meaty. Eggs were rich AF. Thai Links are unpictured but extremely flavorful.
The cod was great and solid tho not life changing. Very well executed. The fried chicken is great particularly with the aromatic and vibrant cilantro dipping sauce. The pork sliders are equally well cooked and herbaceous as to be expected. Great, crying tiger esque dipping sauce. And then the famous short ribs.
Slow cooked. Tender. Ever so toothsome. And the curry along with it is deeply flavorful. The morning glory side is slept on. Tom yum noodles are like an awesome Asian Bolognese, and the crab fried rice IS AWESOME. Could eat two full bowls of that.
Then the surprisingly tasteful and refreshing desserts. Get both, I implore you. Cocktails are good though expensive.
My only complaint? The espresso martini is not great. Get the Monkey Business as a dessert cocktail.
This is also tied with some great service leaning on a Jungsik-lite quality. very, very attentive and could be more "fun" of I dare say. The style is more casual and that service could be reflected with more personality. Still great for a casual experience.
Really fun and absolutely delicious dining experience.
