Still mind-blown by the food here… this is easily my top favorite izakaya spot in NYC.
Seasun? a popular izakaya originally from South Korea, has blown up in NYC since opening. They bring a delicious mix of Japanese and Korean flavors. The ambiance is a 10/10: super cute cat mascots everywhere, cozy dining booths, and cool speaker-themed decor. I already knew I’d be coming back for both the food and the vibes!
Portion sizes are typical izakaya-style (iykyk), except for the ginormous bingsu.
*Beef Sukiyaki $28**
The sukiyaki was served with sliced beef and tofu arranged in a circle. The broth was sweet and savory. Dipping the meat in raw egg made it extra rich and silky. I’d definitely add udon to soak up every last bit of the delicious broth next time.
*Wagyu Beef Tartare & Salmon Sashimi $29**
The wagyu beef tartare tasted absolutely divine after mixing it with the raw egg yolk. I wrapped it all—beef tartare, salmon, and onion drizzled with sesame sauce—in seaweed for the perfect bite.
*Cheese Curry Katsu $20
I just couldn’t resist the cheesy center wrapped in the pork katsu. It was so good, especially with the curry. I do wish they had given more rice though, as there was only a thin layer under the katsu.
*Cup Ramen Fried Rice $16
The fried rice was saucy and spicy, with some noodle bits mixed in. It’s not a must-get, but it’s a good way to get some carbs and fill you up.
*Snowflake Strawberry Bingsu $23*
Make sure to save room for their bingsu!! My jaw dropped when I saw this mini tower of strawberries. The strawberries were a little too frozen for me, but the snowflake shaved ice underneath was so light, fluffy, and milky. To my surprise, it had little mochi balls too!
*Earl Grey Highball $15*
*Mango Highball $15
We asked for non-alcoholic versions, and they tasted amazing! The mango highball was new and had mango chunks in it. Highly recommend the earl grey one — it tasted like tea soda and I enjoyed it.
