IZAKAYA SEASUN

To start off, the overall aesthetics of the restaurant was cozy and comfortable, supporting the lively vibes within. Secondly, the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Everyone was genuinely happy to help you. Lastly, the food was delicious! Every item on the menu was unique in its own way. I ordered around 9 dishes and every single one of them exceeded my expectations. This place is one of those must-visit restaurants when you come to New York. I will definitely be visiting again!

The restaurant had a warm, cozy vibe with plenty of large seating areas. The service was super friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable💕 The beef sukiyaki was incredibly tender and soft, with a comforting, flavorful broth🍲🍣The wagyu beef tartare and sashimi tasted so fresh and delicate, while the shrimp cheese fondue was rich, cheesy, creamy, and had just the right hint of spice🦐The rose chicken pasta stood out with its creamy sauce and mix of crunchy and chewy textures🍝The fried chicken wings were perfectly seasoned—crispy on the outside and juicy inside🍗To end the meal, the snowflake mango bingsu was the ultimate treat: sweet, refreshing, and paired beautifully with the chewy mochi 🍨

Really liked the vibe! The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and authentic perfect for a casual night out. The food was overall great and my favorite was Boiled Pork Suzi Soup. The food portions were much bigger than that I expected which was also a plus for me. You can order from the tablet which is placed on the table so no need to wait for someone to assist you. All the staffs were very friendly and I’m looking forward to come back later!

The vintage ambience makes it a great place to meet up with friends for a few drinks and some good food. Their highballs were a great way to mellow out the evening, especially the Earl Grey highball. Also enjoyed their beef tartare and sukiyaki dishes. It's not a sushi place, but their sashimi were great too. Disclaimer. I attended a preview opening so things are still getting finalized so I didn't rate the service yet. Update: Came back for follow up visit after they fully opened. The service has definitely matured. They are working on the wait times and reservation as well.

This place was so cute! Felt like a portal into Japan, loved the decor inside especially the little pond and giant lamp up front. Even the little mascots on their logos and cups and all were so fun. They played funky Japanese tunes the whole time it was so serene. It wasnt too loud so it was easy to chat with people. For drinks we had some soju which is good as usualy, and also a highball. I got the hibiscus one and it was tasty. Didn’t really feel anything from it but had a nice flavor! For food we had the chipotle fries which were greattttt. Loved those a lot, hella crispy! Also the skewer set which was okay. The pork was good and also the tomatoes wrapped in bacon I think, those were nice. The mushrooms were fine and it also had chicken hearts which I did not expect LOL I mean I went for it and tried one, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I definitely want to come back and try some other food items, I know there are probably some hidden gems on the menu waiting for me

Went for dinner with coworkers. We had a reservation at 5pm for 5 people. When we got there, there were a few people waiting. They checked our IDs before we sat down. One of my coworkers couldn’t find their wallet so they said we can’t order shareable drinks and can only order individual drinks like highballs. Once seated, my coworker found his wallet and showed them his NY ID (he doesn’t have a DL) and they said they can’t accept it and instead was able to accept his employment ID card which was odd. That whole experience threw us off. We ended up ordering few dishes and sharing it. Our favorite was the fried chicken wings and spicy beef tendon with glass noodles. The design of the restaurant was like an old school Korean pub which was nice, but overall, the food was good but the service, in terms of the whole ID ordeal could’ve been handled better. Otherwise, they’re very quick to bring out the drinks.

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.

They have a tab on the seats to place orders. Billing is done by the staff though. We ordered pitchers of cocktails. One was pomegranate based and one was probably blue berry. Both were really sweet. Ambience is really good and so is the staff.

Hyejung zzang !!!! She prociezt the best serivice She so lovely and kind !!!!!! Thank you for explaining everything so kindly and clearly.

I was excited to try this new Nomad spot, in our neighborhood, we love Korean 8 Izakaya. TBH it was a let down. The service was very average, staff not attentive, and when they did come to clear some things buss person wanted to take plate away that still had food on it... the wait staff seemed a bit clueless when I asked basic question about if the various saki were dry or sweet. ( pretty basic question and they had no idea & made up something along the line of "that all their sake were pretty sweet", huh? The pad to order on was a bit hard to read menus by 2 people as it was affixed in an uncomfortable position. Every time we put in an order you need to push order button 3 times to confirm order (annoying & insufficient) . No soy sauce on table, when asked for it came in super tiny portion and had to wait for more a Cpl times... complimentary stale flavorless crunchy snack with our drinks. The delivery of food was off. We received our orders of white rice alone with nothing else we ordered a good 10 minutes before other dishes arrived. We thought he sashimi was good and fresh. The rest was average. In general the vibe of the place was good and hostess pleasant, but we left feeling they have a lot of kinks to work out and the dining experience was underwhelming. There are so many good / greet resturants in the area so they really need to get their act together quickly if they want to thrive& make it.

Amazing addition to the neighborhood! Izakaya Seasun is definitely unique and stands out from the other restaurants in the area. I love the fun vibes and cute interior (the little touches of cats are so cute :)) I haven't tried their yakitori or sashimi yet, so I can't speak on those. But their sukiyaki hot pot and other dishes are so tasty! The spicy chicken with wide noodles is extremely spicy (my spice tolerance is a 6/10) but tasty -- I love the texture of the chew noodles! Yes, ordering is done on an ipad, but the service we received was spectacular. For example, they have this sac sac grape soju cocktail. We asked if we could get the sac sac grape soda drink itself because one of our friends doesn't drink alcohol. Initially, the server apologized and said no because it's not on the menu. She went out of her way and came back later to give us one! How sweet is that?? Price is decent too, one of the more affordable meals I've had in the area! I'd love to come back and try their other items!

Quality: 9/10 food comes out cold/hot (depending on what you order) and fresh Variety: 8/10 menu is on a tablet and you order on there so there's no pressure Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 8/10 interior decor is really nice, but a bit on the louder side which is expected in an izakaya Service: 9/10 there wasn't much service involved but they cleared our plates and refilled our waters frequently Price: $62/person including tax and tip The only reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars is the price point. The dishes are tapa size because it's an izakaya but it's about $25-30 per dish which can run your pockets deep.

Ambiance is cozy; dimly lit, soft plush seating, soft music in the background. Service is friendly and attentive. We started with the SeeSun Assorted Sashimi. Loved both the fish and the raw beef. The beef sukiyaki is well executed. Hard to go wrong with a beef sukiyaki; tastes exactly the way you would imagine it to be. Assorted skewers are good; nice glaze and seasoning, nothing too special. The okonomiyaki was savory. Overall, everything was prepared and seasoned well. Worth checking out.

Loved the atmosphere and the presentation of their food and drinks, really gave us an experience reminiscent of Korea! Service is very friendly and attentive! 4/5 White Grape Soju Cocktail Pitcher 4/5 Beef Sukiyaki 4/5 Spicy Crab Pasta

Fun vibes. You can order your own food at the touchscreen. The menu options are izakaya/ bar menu for Korean and Japanese food. Overall, the food was fine. Nothing too memorable. I think I was overhyped from seeing so much marketing about it. I really wanted to try the sukiyaki hot pot, and it was yummy. We also ordered the tako wasabi and that was good, though the flavor was not as sharp as I've had it elsewhere. The okonomiyaki was standard. Service was good. The staff was very attentive.

Newer addition to the Korean bar scene in the city. They get extra points for not being in Ktown! Calm & moody with old school "vintage" Korean vibes. It honestly feels better as a date night spot or small group gatherings bc you can hear each other speak! You self-order using the kiosks at each table. The raw dishes were the stars - wagyu tartare & sashimi combo super good. A must order The hamachi was also fresh but the cut was a bit off. Hot dishes helped ease in the drinks, oden and sukiyaki both good but on the saltier side. Our final choice was the spicy beef tendon glass noodles. We loved the chew but just waaay too spicy Solid spot for your rotation! wagyu beef tartare & sashimi $28* hamachi sashimi $29* beef sukiyaki $27 kansai-style oden soup $25 spicy beef tendon w/ glass noodles $23 뉴욕 한국스타일 술집 신상! 무엇보다 K타운 아닌 곳에 있다는게 플러스다 생각보다 조용한 분위기고 빈티지한 갬성에 조명도 어둑어둑해서 데이트나 소규모 모임에 딱이다. 각 테이블에 있는 키오스크로 주문하는 방식도 편함. 육회 & 육사시미 콤보는 무조건 추천이고 회 종류도 맛있는데 커팅이 약간 아쉽다. 일차로 이렇게 먹고 이차로 따듯한 오뎅탕이랑 스키야키 조져주면 굳 힘줄이랑 분모자 요리는 내 스타일인데 너무 매워서 위가 쓰림.

Came here for dinner after work. Love that you are able to order on a tablet and they just bring the food to you which is nice. Food is alright. The pasta was pretty interesting. The interior is really cute, they have a bunch of bamboo and greenery.

This is probably the first NYC restaurant that had tablet to order just like KOREA!! Finally! This is a good spot to get drink and chill. Nothing fancy but one of those places you can come late and night and enjoy soju & beer shot. I wouldnt say the food is top tier- we ordered cheese tonkatsu and etc, and while you can find other places that have better anju (side dishes for drinks), i would say the ambiance is fun and a cool place with modern technology

Came here on a Saturday night around 11pm and didn't have to wait. Only got to try the Wagyu beef tartare, and it was great! Definitely want to come back and try the nabes soup, which was highly recommended by my friend as the "best nabe" here.

Heard amazing things about the place so had to come try it! Made a reservation for 4 on Saturday night at 6:30pm. The ambiance was pretty cute but loud since there were a lot of tables. We ordered a few dishes and got to chowing! We ordered the beef and salmon tartare, fried chicken wings, assorted skewers and pork jowl/beef tendon. This was done all through the tablet. The food didn't take long to arrive. The pork jowl/beef tendon dish is cooked in a pot with vegetables in front of you by the staff. They come back every so often until it's ready. This was pretty good and flavorful with some soup over rice. I think for us, the star was the beef and salmon tartare. The beef was so flavorful with the egg yolk and the salmon was just so soft and buttery. We only got 4 dishes but definitely want to try the rest

Izakaya Seasun has the vibes and the food for any casual night out with friends or even a date! The decor is cute with unique wallpaper and the cat remains consistent throughout! The restaurant is pretty spacious and they can accommodate a variety of party sizes! They other reservation system through Yelp so it makes it pretty easy to reserve. I really enjoyed everything we ordered but the spicy noodle dish with chicken was sooo good! It definitely has a kick but it's so addicting! I couldn't stop eating it. But the sukiyaki hot pot, being a little sweet, helped balance everything together. The skewers were good to get a variety of things while drinking! The staff was also really fun and cleared things away pretty quickly but never pressured us. You order everything on the tablet so the kitchen and staff do receive your order and bring it to you accordingly! The menus are also in English or in Korean!

The ambiance was so nice- this restaraunt's decor reminded me of ripndip with its cat posters and green furnishings with dim lighting. The food portions were a bit small which is why I gave it four stars. We got the seafood tteokboki and the mussels were small- the crab barely had any meat. I really liked the spicy crab cream pasta though (barely any or no crab present). The sauce was addicting and the spice packed a punch. The kimchi pancake was also good but I was craving protein since my other entrees barely had any.

I actually really liked this place. I was ready to not like it but I actually appreciated it! You order with an iPad so no weird communication issue. Frozen Orion was great on a hot day. Skewers are really good. I particularly loved the beef wrapped anoki mushroom and also the pork covered tomato. Both felt juicy, sexy, and had great flavor and balance for a skewer. Pastas were good. Greatly suggest ordering a $3 using noodle and use it to finish the spicy pasta sauce. Just throw it in the and mix and it's still soooo good

Came here after seeing the reel on Instagram and one of our friends recommended it. We made reservations and got seated right away. You order everything on the tablet and personally would have preferred for the tablet to be little more mobile since its fixed booth seating it's not the easiest for everyone to see the menu. Salmon and beef tartare 4/5 - probably the best dish we tried tonight and we ordered quiet a few dishes. However it would have been nicer if they offer a bit more seaweed for the tartare. We asked for more and the waiter forgot it and by the time we reminded him and it came the dish was almost done. Spicy crab meat pasta- 3/5 -as you can see from the pictures its just imitation crab meat (kani) it definitely has a kick to it and if you can't handle spicy I would skip this. It's a spicy creamy dish and I can't quit place what gives it the kick Sukiyaki- 3.5/5 - it looks like a big portion but it's actually very little meat sitting on top of a giant bed of bean sprout. The first sukiyaki they brought out to us was literally all fat, we asked for them to replace it and the waiter had to ask the manager if that was doable and luckily they said okay cause my friend who came previously showed a picture of the sukiyaki she got last time and there was actually meat on it as opposed to all fat. The broth is sweet however for the price I wish they would have included a second layer of meat. Skewers- 3/5 honestly these were only okay for me. I've definitely had better skewers at a more affordable price anywhere else I wasn't a fan of the options that was offered in the skewers either. Egg takoyaki - 3/5 liked the concept but again it was just only okay for me it taste exactly how it sounds takoyaki on a bed of egg. Nothing to write home about, could have used a little more mayo and takoyaki sauce. I found it a bit bland. The pitcher for the drinks was TINY! It tasted good and had a bit of jelly inside but everyone will probably only get 4 small shot cups each (table of four) Everything was only okay for me, I would come back but I'm also in no rush to and only one dish stood out for me.o

Really enjoyed the izakaya vibe here. The decor was super cool and full of little details, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. Once we were seated, the server gave us a quick rundown on how to order with the iPad, which was super easy to use. We ordered the pork jowl and beef tendon hotpot, the beef tartare with salmon, some assorted skewers, and the fried chicken. The tartare and salmon was easily my favorite. The salmon was super fresh and melted in your mouth, and the tartare was nicely marinated. The hotpot broth was amazing -- rich, comforting, and full of flavor. First time trying pork jowl in a broth, and it was surprisingly delicious. Didn't expect much from the fried chicken, but it turned out to be really crispy and juicy. The skewers were decent, though nothing standout. We also had a couple of highballs, but they were on the weak side. Overall, great experience -- definitely coming back to try more from the menu!

Fun Izakaya joint! We loved the cat themed decor. We split some sake, along with a wagyu appetizer and a spicy chicken/rice cake dish. The wagyu tartare+sashimi blew us away but the spicy chicken dish left a little to be desired. We would come back with a bigger crowd to try their signature dish next time!

Beautiful interior and I liked their self ordering iPads on each table which makes ordering seamless! We ordered the pork hotpot, hamachi sashimi plate and an okonomiyaki. Food came very quickly and overall was decent but nothing really stood out. We were most disappointed by their service since they gave us the cheque an hour into dining while we were still eating, and 3 different waiters proceeded to come back every 2-3 mins attempting to take our payment when we were still clearly eating. I understand restaurants typically have a 90-min dining limitation and am happy to respect it as long as it's communicated to me ahead of time and we are able to have the full 90 mins without rushing to have to pay at the 60 min mark. This really left a sour taste in our mouth despite an overall decent dining experience

Honestly this place was just okay. They operate on an iPad ordering system but you still need to tip... service from the staff was fine but nothing to praise about. The prices were way overpriced for the portions they gave. The food was just okay - we got the beef w/ bean sprouts +onions, skewers, and spicy crab cream pasta. Just for the food alone was over $100 for 3 dishes!!! The beef was okay, nothing special honestly - it just comes in a nice presentation and they cook it for you but there was nothing that stood out to me taste-wise. Skewers were also just okay. The crab pasta was pretty decent but the portion was extremely small and underwhelming. Ambiance was nice and it felt like you were in a Japanese house. TLDR; Don't think I would come back here anytime soon. Overpriced and underwhelming. Food and service was just OK.

Came with a group of 4 people. Best to make a reservation beforehand. The food was good, but not outstanding. We ordered a lot of dishes to share for the table. I thought the wagyu tartare tasted the best out of everything. Assorted skewers were tasty too. But the sukiyaki hotpot was a bit of a let down. There was a thin layer of fatty beef laying on top of a huge bed of bean sprouts. And there were also tofu, enoki mushrooms and other veggies. I love veggies, but the ratio of meat to veggies was just too off. So little meat! Also the spicy cream crab pasta was also disappointing since they used imitation crab meat for a $17 dish. There was so much buzz about this place, I was excited to try it. But I wasn't amazed. Maybe my expectations were too high coming here.

Out of all the dishes I ordered I would say Beef Sukiyaki and Beef Tartare were a yay and Pork Jowl Pasta & Crab Pasta were a nay. I really enjoyed the egg soy sauce dip the beef sukiyaki came with! They also have a waitlist tablet in case you wanted to walk in.

As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed with that Japanese izakaya ambiance with Japanese city pop playing. There's a tablet to see the menu, order food, and ask for any extra services if you need. The utensils and napkins are attached in a drawer on the side of the table like they do in Korea! Great service, food comes out pretty fast, and the portions are bigger than they look! Food was decent, nothing out of the blue that I would have to come back here for, but I would save this spot to come with friends. Ran into so many people while dining here!!

Starting off with the service, it was absolutely crap. You order from a tablet and the server half assed served us. Cooked half the meal and then left everything overcook. If we wanted to cook we would eat at home. We ordered quite a few dishes and a dessert which you would assume it would come last. No it came out 2nd? When asked if they could put it in the freezer or something, the waiter said there wasn't one?! Honestly kind of confused but we accepted it and just ate our oreo bingsoo in the beginning. The service was bad but we still had hope for the food because TikTok recommended this place and sadly it was also crap. The spicy crab cream pasta was spicy AF and usually the group can handle some spice but my god it burned. Beef taretare & salmon was eh. Snowflake marbled chuck flap sukiyaki was good I guess. It was 90% bean sprout. Rose chicken pasta was too cheesy for me. Whole chicken noodle soup was fine until the noodles were overcooked because the server disappeared. Again if they can't provide the service just say so and the customers will cook.

I've been to the original location in Seoul, so I had to check out the NY location when they opened here. Vibes were great-- perfect for date night or a good night with friends. - Tteokbokki: 9/10 (you can really taste the seafood in the Tteokbokki. The Tteokbokki was slightly too soft for my liking thigh) - Oden soup: 8/10 (there was a lotttt of oden in there! It was a bit on the salty side so we had to pour water to dilute the broth.) Service was ok, but I felt like they were trying to hurry us out when it hadn't been too long since we've been seated.

Just hit up Seasun, Korea's #1 izakaya now open in Midtown--and it's so good. The space is super cozy, the decor is a whole vibe, and the food? Fire. The assorted skewers were so tender and yummy--I could've had 10. The sashimi was super fresh, and I'm still dreaming about the signature beef sukiyaki and snowflake marbled chunk flap sukiyaki. Premium flavors without the premium price tag. Perfect for date night or catching up with friends. This one's def a new go-to.

Food: The food was good here but definitely not anything special or worth coming here for. We tried the assorted sashimi platter, beef tartare, marbled beef hot pot, and pork jowl and beef tendon hot pot. My favorite was the assorted sashimi platter because the fish was very fresh. The platter included salmon, sea bream, hamachi, and wagyu beef. The beef tartare was good, but I've had better beef tartare in other places. The two hot pots were very average and nothing memorable. The marbled beef hot pot was cooked in a thick broth/sauce that was too sweet. The beef was also tough and didn't seem like the best quality. The portions of the pots were also very small. We ordered four dishes for four people, and we weren't that full at the end of the meal. We were excited to try this place but definitely won't be returning. I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. Service: There's a tablet at each table to place your order. They also have a "call staff" feature if you need anything throughout the meal. When we used this button, it worked sometimes and didn't at others. We used the table to ask for extra soy sauce and wasabi, but it never came. Service was average and not consistent. As the server was cutting our meat and preparing the hot pot for us, she dropped a piece of meat on the table and had to throw it away. This was a bit disappointing because the portion was already small as is, and she didn't bother replacing what she dropped and wasted. Ambiance: The place is kept dark with loud music, but the seating is spacious and comfortable. There are several tables for different size groups. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and won't be returning.

It's a nice place, maybe a bit darker but let me get to the food part....the hot pot sukiyaki is the one me and my friends picked but for me it was just a bit too sweet and I just not not preference, it was also a pretty small pot which to add more soup or other vegetables it definitely cost more which seems not really worth it at all. Service was ok, someone would come if you pressed a button. I much prefer a smaller and highly better serviced restaurant with more delicious and amazing selections and beautiful service like KIMURA at st marks, definitely really a place I can go back to very so often

This place was pretty solid and the food was very good. It was a hotpot style sukiyaki with beef and sorted vegetables. We also got the tartare with sashimi that we were able to have with nori. What made our experience a bit questionable though was the staff being a bit hard to reach and forgetful when we asked for more ice and more water. And we also added some extra sauces to our order but they said the sauces came with our order and canceled it without asking if we meant to order more sauce. I thought that was overall a bit weird but the food nonetheless is a great social spot to go to with your friends

I came here for dinner service on a Sunday and was fortunately able to get a spot (thank you to the host for being so kind!). The interior of the restaurant is casual, relaxing, and there's great decor. After you're seated, you're given some complimentary snacks and there's a menu on the iPad where you order your food and drinks. I ended up getting their beef sukiyaki, their beef tartare and sashimi, their crab pasta, skewers, melons, and sake. The beef sukiyaki came with lots of beef and veggies and was super comforting to eat. The beef tartare and sashimi were delicious and I loved how it came with wasabi to enjoy it with as well as nori (if I were to come back though, I would just order the tartare as I liked it more. But! I loved how you could try both with this dish). The crab pasta was underwhelming and came with imitation crab, I wouldn't order this again. Their skewers were pretty solid, but I wish there was more beef. And, their melons were sweet and a good way to end the meal. Great new Japanese spot located in Midtown!

Loved the ambiance inside, super similar to korean pubs/restaurants. The food comes out fast and the service is also fast. There are many add-ons so I liked that you can order and then keep adding however much more you wanted to eat.

Tried this viral new izakaya for the first time! We got there without a reservation on a Friday afternoon around 5:30pm and was able to get in quick without much wait. The vibe is nice and chill with cute decor. We were able to order from a tablet attached to the wall and it was convenient as we didn't have to wait for the waiter and could see photos of what we would be ordering. The food was delicious though the portions were small. We got the spicy crab cream pasta, pork jowl and beef tendon hotpot and wagyu sashimi and yookhwe. The only downside is we felt rushed to finish and leave the restaurant (around 50min into our meal) as multiple people came to clear out our plates even though we were still working on our dishes.

***10/10 Recommend, Make a Reservation, Delicious*** I came here on a weekday and was able to make reservations day of for a 7:30 PM. It was completely packed and we did get seated a little later than our reservation. However, the service was great and it was super easy to order through the tablet. Occasionally, our server would stop by just to check how we were doing. The portions were good to share with two people, and we were definitely stuffed by the end of the meal. It was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend checking this place out.

I think this place is cute and interesting. I liked it but I did not love it. Food is decent but nothing changed my life. My friends and I joked that they seemed confused about their identity - Japanese spot with korean food and chinese buffet decor in the front. I will say that their sukiyaki was delicious !! We ordered multiple rounds of it because it was quite good. The seafood was average at best, I did not think it tasted very fresh. This place is also extremely ipad heavy to the point that you have to order to get your table bussed. You will not get service unless you order your specific request on the ipad. I will say, though, that i was impressed at how much coverage they had in terms of the requests all being options. All in all, worth a try. I also recommend coming here as a pair. I found that a lot of their food portions were good for 2 people but our party was a group of 6 and the options for food here were not designed for large groups in mind. As an FYI, They are EXTREMELY strict about IDs so be prepared. We are all well over our 30s and even with a photo of the ID, we were not allowed to order shared drinks because my friend forgot his physical ID. If you are wanting drinks, make sure to bring your ID!

This place was so cute! Felt like a portal into Japan, loved the decor inside especially the little pond and giant lamp up front. Even the little mascots on their logos and cups and all were so fun. They played funky Japanese tunes the whole time it was so serene. It wasnt too loud so it was easy to chat with people. For drinks we had some soju which is good as usualy, and also a highball. I got the hibiscus one and it was tasty. Didn't really feel anything from it but had a nice flavor! For food we had the chipotle fries which were greattttt. Loved those a lot, hella crispy! Also the skewer set which was okay. The pork was good and also the tomatoes wrapped in bacon I think, those were nice. The mushrooms were fine and it also had chicken hearts which I did not expect LOL I mean I went for it and tried one, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I definitely want to come back and try some other food items, I know there are probably some hidden gems on the menu waiting for me

Izakaya Seasun is a new restaurant that I've heard many good things about. I had to get the beef sukiyaki (one of their popular dishes) so we did and it was delicious. The sweet potato fries were also surprisingly one of my favorite appetizers/sides- the sauce that came with it complemented the crispy fries well. I wish I could give this place a 4.5/5 rather than a 4. Service was quick and friendly as well, with our waiter offering an explanation of the ordering system and utensils in the table drawer.

I saw this restaurant was recommended a couple times on TikTok so I was excited to try! We got the beef sukiyaki, sashimi platter, and the takoyaki. I'd skip the takoyaki but the other dishes were good. The sukiyaki is definitely on the smaller side so we had to order extra meat and veggies (for three people). I liked how you can order at the table instead of trying to flag down the servers. Giving it three stars because we made a reservation for 7:30 but weren't seated until 8:05pm even though the entire party was there.

This new Izakaya spot from Korea is a must visit for delicious and affordable food in Manhattan. This space is vibey and cute. You order from an iPad but the servers always came by to check in on us For food, I recommend the beef sukiyaki and wagyu beef tartare with salmon. I love that the portions are generous and easily shareable. Don't forget to order the refreshing highball cocktails!

Came with a reservation and at check in they ask if the table is getting alcohol to check IDs before being seated. At the tables, the utensils are in a drawer underneath the table and ordering is on a tablet on the table. They give you complimentary snack to munch on as you wait for your food. We ordered: - the assorted sashimi: nothing out of the ordinary came with a selection of fish and waygu, sesame oil and soy sauce dip. - snowflake marbled chuck flap sukiyaki: this is cooked at the table on a pot, thought the soup was sweet and the meat was good. - spicy cream crab pasta: I really liked this, however the portion is really small and looked like a salad when it came out. It was a bit spicy. - wagyu beef tartare: mixed with a raw yolk and came with a side of fried nori to eat with. Tasted pretty fresh and texture was nice. - assorted skewers: 2 chicken wings, pork belly, wrapped tomato, chicken heart, mushroom, wrapped mushroom of a sort? Overall ambiance is nice and food was good.

Izakaya Seasun is pretty good though a little pricey. Came as a group of 4 with a reservation and got seated quickly. Otherwise I think the wait was 2 hours? We got the Beef Snowflake, Salmon + Beef Tartare, Crab Pasta, and Spicy Tendon. Favorite dishes were the Tartare (super fresh) and Crab Past (pretty spicy). I thought the Spicy Tendon was pretty good too but definitely get an order of rice to eat on the side. The Beef Snowflake was a bit disappointing as the beef was pretty chewy and not tender. Portions are a little small so the restaurant is pricey, but overall we enjoyed our dinner here.

Such a cute space with interesting set up. You order from an iPad attached to your table and the wait staff brings the food and drinks. Came without reservation on a Thursday ~7 and my friend and I were seated with no wait. The octopus appetizer was so good - I'm a huge texture person so this scratched that itch

We didn't know that you could make reservations on Yelp so we showed up at 5pm for a table but they were fully booked. The hostess was accommodating and told us to come back at 7pm for a table. We were able to get a table then. The ambiance and decor inside is cute. It's on the dark and intimate side. A good mix of small and large tables. Service is very attentive. You order everything on an iPad at the table. The sashimi was fresh and we enjoyed it. The pasta was also really flavorful, maybe a tad too salty. Pancake was delicious as well. There were so many takoyakis in one order that we had to take it to go. There's not a lot of octopus in them though. I'd say it's mostly batter. This is a nice spot to hang out with friends. It's pricier than your typical izakaya but I'd say the quality of the food is also better. We didn't feel rushed at the table either and enjoyed our time overall.

Came on a weekday evening and the wait was a little over a hour for a party of 2. Servers were sweet and attentive, ambience was dark and vibes were good. I'd say the booths for parties of 2 are a bit of a squeeze, especially by the bathroom. The food was okay here. We started off with the spicy crab pasta (our favorite dish) and upon seeing the portion size (literally 3-4 bites) we added a dish. The sashimi tasted fresh but was sliced thinner than I expected. Overall, good to experience but would not return.

Saw this place online & decided to give it a go! The interior was cute, v cozy vibes and loved the space. The service was good & the staff were okay (not that attentive, but when flagged down they were nice). In terms of the food, my friend and I shared the beef sukiyaki & assorted skewers. First off the sukiyaki itself was flavorful for sure, but I felt like they skimped out on ingredients and it wasn't too much included. Overall, the taste felt good but average. The skewers were also pretty average I'd say. Nothing special, I feel like they could've chosen better options for the assortment. I didn't like the chicken heart. Overall, the food was average, and everything was fine~

Went for dinner with coworkers. We had a reservation at 5pm for 5 people. When we got there, there were a few people waiting. They checked our IDs before we sat down. One of my coworkers couldn't find their wallet so they said we can't order shareable drinks and can only order individual drinks like highballs. Once seated, my coworker found his wallet and showed them his NY ID (he doesn't have a DL) and they said they can't accept it and instead was able to accept his employment ID card which was odd. That whole experience threw us off. We ended up ordering few dishes and sharing it. Our favorite was the fried chicken wings and spicy beef tendon with glass noodles. The design of the restaurant was like an old school Korean pub which was nice, but overall, the food was good but the service, in terms of the whole ID ordeal could've been handled better. Otherwise, they're very quick to bring out the drinks.

Came for lunch with a friend.! Had to make a reservation cause it was a packed during the week. Yummy food and we ordered our food and drinks via an iPad. Decor was lovely

My expectations for this place may have been too high (due to the hype on social media) cause I left disappointed and underwhelmed. There was nothing inherently wrong with this place (decor was cute, staff was friendly, and food was good) but nothing blew me away. I like how you order on a tablet so you don't have to flag down a server. However, we couldn't figure out if you could remove the tablet or not so we were all hunching over the person next to the tablet...very uncomfortable. There also aren't as many options as other izakaya places. Prices looked reasonable at first but we ended up spending $180 for 4 people and I wasn't even that full. Overall, cute place to gather with friends and try something new but definitely won't be a top izakaya place for me.

Izakaya SEASUN recently opened up, a premium izakaya brand and franchise from SK. REAL TALK: LOVE their logos and cute drawings! Their menu includes sashimi, hot pot, fried and stir-fry items (such as jjapaghetti with egg & cheese, purple sweet potato fries, fish katsu, etc.), and a 'special menu' (which includes shrimp cheese fondue, spicy beef tendon with glass noodles, seafood cheese tteokbokki, and wagyu beef tartare and sashimi). We ordered: +the Sukiyaki Plate +the Spicy Cream Crab Pasta +the Seafood Cheese Tteokbokki +the Jjapaghetti with egg & cheese +Fish Katsu +and, skewers Staff were friendly and kind! The place has a dark, relaxing vibe, and I loved the exposed brick and the decorations! A fun place to stop by when you're in the area. +tasty bites +friendly service

This Korean Izakaya lives up to it's niche identity. In general most dishes are spicier and more pungent twists to your typical Japanese dishes like hoptpots and upon. Here is why it's just ok. 1. The service relies on 'automated ordering.' But the servers still have to bring the food and clear the plates so if they get busy, you'll need to wait around. 2. All dishes are overly seasoned. That's because it's to get people to drink more (actually a strategy used). However, everything is overwhelmingly seasoned. If you are a college kid with a limited budget but happened to find yourself wandering around in the wealthy neighborhood of Nomad, then it's worth a go.
