Sea

The décor was nice. The hostess is attractive. The bathrooms have an odd design (no stalls or barriers). This place would be better as a nightclub. The jade seafood dumplings, tup tim fritters, green curried fried rice (beef) and the drunk man noodles were amazing and full of flavor unique to each of those dishes. Avoid the volcano chicken, the presentation is greater than the taste (they set it on fire). The sea bbq was bland. The sea chicken wings were bland. The waiter wasn’t attentive. The servers were fast. I will only order takeout from sea moving forward. I know people that talk through their noses and some that try to say everything in 1 breath who spoke about it like it’s the snob’s meow. The bad dishes were at their suggestion. Note: don’t listen to black wannabe snobs that suggest the chicken. I can say this because I’m black. Don’t get uptight with your racism radar.

I agree with everyone else who says their customer service is crap. We got seated in a corner and they forgot about us. Literally, they forgot that we were there. We never got our entrees and when we finally walked over to our waitress she acted like it didn’t matter that we just waited an hour for an order she never even put in. Never again.

I have been here twice now — I really do think that the food is good. Each time i have been with a group of friends — first time there were 4 of us, last week there were 5 of us. We waited for a few for seating — no big deal — they have a nice bar at the front of the house, so enjoying some wine before dinner and conversation with friends was fine. We were seated in about 10 mins this time, shown to a nice table — the noise level is fairly high, but not loud that you can’t hear your company and enjoy good chat with each other. The menu offerings are very solid. I was starving when we walked in so I ordered a fairly robust grouping of appetizers. Tup Tim Fritters, Shrimp Shu Mai, Crispy Basil Spring Rolls and the Calamari Super bowl… all were delicious, served hot with great sauces and more than enough to share with our group. Personal Fave Shrimp Shu Mai… have ordered them twice. My entrée was simply Pad Thai with Chicken — very good, really enjoyed it — but I have to say one of my friends had the Classic Pork Chops — WOW!!! they were delicious, tender and moist — seasoned perfectly… will get those next time… of course this group of friends — we are a communal bunch so we tasted from everyone’s plates — KL Chicken was really good loved the way the skin was seasoned and just kinda melted in your mouth… my Salmon loving buddy — had the grilled Salmon she raved over it… she is really a Salmon lover so I trust it was delicious… there were clean plates at the end of the night so draw your own conclusions. I enjoyed wine with dinner –but one of my friends had this Frozen Caipirinha — really refreshing… Overall I would have rated this restaurant Excellent — but I find the staff to be very aloof and not really all that gracious… not sure what that’s all about — They are rude, but they are missing the mark when it comes to being warm and gracious — they just kind of tick the boxes of service — a little warmth would go a long way… Enjoy!

Let’s sea…
What can I say?
Pretty ambiance… very airy. Very tourista. Me and my compadre got seated at a wooden table right next to the indoor water fountain with the floating flower boat, which was just sweet! Loved the seating!!!
Really enjoyed eating the pineapple skrimp but yeah I’m def on a pineapple kick. It’s summer and my pootang is guna taste good if anything should come of that…
I gotta say when they clear the table b4 I’m done eating is often times so rude and they keep on cleaning the table while im visibly still eating… it is just hella atrocious.
What else I gotta say? Hmm…
Not an expensive meal.
Fun comfy wooden swing in the front.
Didn’t pack up the to go item in time and they/​we all forgot it till halfway to Manhattan already.
So what do you make of it?
Will I go back out to sea… yes I would, but not for the sushi. Def for the thai.

I’ve been to sea a few times. The restaurant is very pretty and modern looking. The food is pretty good and so are the drinks. It is cool
that they have a dj. However, the music was so loud I couldn’t even hear the people sitting at my own table. This is not a good place to catch up with friends or to try to have a meaningful conversation with someone. I probably won’t return because there are so many good places in Williamsburg!

The service is so bad. He never say thank you and polite. And the food is just fine
The busboys are more polite than the server

Initially this place came 2^nd to Cafetasia for me. But, cafetasia no longer exists so… this has moved to 1^st.
The only thing I hate is that it’s not easily accessible if taking public transportation. But overall it’s a really nice spot. It’s visually stimulating.

Located in a lovely part of Brooklyn is Sea. Sea is probably one of the first Thai restaurants I’ve tried. I fell in love with Thai cuisine from there. It’s a super trendy restaurant and the first thing that will awe you is the décor. Have fun taking photos and posing.
I went on a Saturday evening which I will mention is probably a busy time. The place itself is huge but you will have to wait. It wasn’t a problem though because we had seats at the bar and the cocktail menu is really good. We waited maybe 30 – 40 minutes and were finally seated. For appetizers, we ordered the chicken and shrimp dumplings, curry puffs, this beef dish, and duck salad. All were amazing. I recommend all of this dish. For my entrée, I ordered the drunken noodles. That was good as well. For the dessert, we had the fried bananas which was a perfect dish to end the evening. It was crispy and not too sweet.
The price was extremely affordable for the type of place and the food that was served. I’ve had better Thai cuisine since then however as an overall experience this definitely deserve a 4 star.

I went here with a friend on Sunday around 6 pm for drinks. We sat by the bar and enjoyed the sunny day… until a massive cockroach (seriously, the biggest cockroach I’ve ever seen in my life) run by my friend’s arm. I pointed the cockroach out to the Spanish bartender, who quickly killed it and wipe down the bar table. For some reason, the bartender didn’t seem surprised by it at all. which creeped me out a bit. He didn’t apologize or bother to give an explanation. Grossed out by the size of the cockroach and the bartender’s indifference, we paid for our drinks and left.

This place is the perfect place for a girls night out or a cute date night. Ambiance is perfect and all around great décor to go with the theme of the food.
I throughly enjoyed my meal that I had with the group that I was with.
Everything we ordered was so good!
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars though is the wait could be a bit long especially when you’re in a big group, and the place is a little too dark so you can barely see what you’re eating and who you’re talking to.

I came with the family the Saturday before mother’s day since I do not particularly like going out the day of due to crowds.
Overall the food was standard Thai fare. The mojitos were the BOMB, I highly recommend them.
Got the basil spring rolls, calamari super bowl for appetizers. I was slightly disappointed with the calamari. It got cool and chewy which I didn’t care for.
For the entrée I got the Spicy thai herbs fried rice chicken and shrimp which was very good. My fiancée got the lunch portion of the Chicken King Rama. He wasn’t full off of that so he got the crab rangoon appetizer. It was good. Didnt have that overly fishy taste to it.
For desert we got the banana spring roll. It was really delicious. The sauce surrounding the roll was really tasty.
The service was good, the food was good. Everything was all good. I did come on a Saturday early afternoon so I will try to see how they function at night when it’s busy.

Spectacular ambiance and wonderful wonderful food are within this beautiful restaurant. The staff are friendly and ensure that you are served hot, fresh food. I have been here a couple of times and SEA does not disappoint me… this place has delicious Thai food!

I recently visited Sea for a friend’s 60^th birthday celebration. The restaurant itself is very large, nicely decorated and even has a pond in the middle! We went as a group of eight people and had made a reservation beforehand since we thought it might be busy. It sure was busy, even though it was a Monday evening. We checked in with the hostess and were told to wait a few minutes while our table was being prepared. When we were guided to our table, we were surprised because the setup was extremely awkward. They had put two oddly-​shaped tables together to make one bigger table. The two tables didn’t really even fit together, so the seating arrangement was very awkward for the group. We asked to be moved to a larger, long table and were told they didn’t have any available since they were already reserved. We were a bit annoyed because we had made a reservation as well. They finally moved us to a different table, which was very similar to the last one, but was a little bit bigger. We just wanted to sit down for dinner, so we decided to stick with the second table they offered us. To start, I ordered a Thai Iced Tea, which came in a very tall glass. It was sweet and refreshing. For an appetizer, I was eager to try the Triangle Curry Puffs, which were very large and they give you three of them accompanied by a cucumber salsa. They were delicious and tasted very fresh. I has finished my Thai Iced Tea, so I decided to try the Strawberry Lemonade since someone else at my table had ordered it. It was tangy and refreshing and even had real pieces of strawberry in it. For my main course, I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken. I had seen this item on the Sea menu online and was really wanting to try it. It has pineapple, egg and cashew nuts in it, which all make for an excellent combination. The portion was very large too. Everyone at our table was so stuffed that we couldn’t even think about ordering dessert, but since it was our friend’s birthday, we decided to order her a dessert. We informed the servers that it was her birthday, so they brought her Crème Brulee out with a candle in it, which I thought was a nice touch. It’s interesting because the servers take your order on these little electronic devices, which I thought was pretty technologically advanced! Also, you MUST check out the bathrooms. They are these little pod-​like rooms with a sliding door. There are even screens inside the bathrooms that show you different views of the restaurant– pretty cool. I would surely come back to Sea since the food is delicious and the atmosphere is very trendy.

Walking into the restaurant, I was instantly attracted by the layout of the place. The doors were glass as well as the sunroof, allowing the perfect amount of sunlight to enter. There was a little pond in the center of the restaurant, a pretty touch to the appearance of the place.
I really enjoyed the restaurant, and would give it five stars, but I had to take one away for service. It took a while to be seated, even though it was obvious that there were available tables scattered throughout the restaurant. It also took some time for the staff to finally get to giving my table menus.
However, when we finally placed our orders, the food came fairly quick. I got the Tup Tim Fritters and Beef Pad See Ew from the Lunch Special, which consists of a free appetizer with a main dish. Both the appetizer and the main dish were delicious. The Tup Tim has a sweet and spicy sauce, which complements the fried fritter well. The pad see ew, although a bit sweeter than most restaurants, was tasty too, with really tender beef.
I would definitely recommend coming to Sea if you’re in Williamsburg for great ambiance and yummy Thai food.

2000+ reviews but there are 545 reviews filtered at the time of this review.
Statically these are poor ratios.
Why such odd numbers? over 25%
I was confused so I visited on a Saturday afternoon to try their lunch.
Bottom line, cool décor so-​so food. If you are turned on by the boat in the pond you’ll love this place andwill not notice to average to low quality food.
The food lack much in terms of Thai flavors. The pad Thai was to over sweeten. The little crispy rolls were lacked substance like taste. I also ordered to whole fish and it came out looking good but was bland and the skin was not clean properly. The top, bottom, around the tail and head of the fish was obviously not cleaned of fish scales.
I asked the waiter about it who then went to look for the manager.
The manager said sorry but did not offer to cook a new fish or take the dish off the bill.
There are so many real Thai restaurant in Queens with much better food… unless you are just looking for your boat in a pond.

The food was decent for the price. I got the Jade seafood dumplings as an appetizer, which I’d recommend and the Spicy Dark Ocean as an entrée. That could have been great but the sauce was way too sweet!
I’m used to sweet and savory in Asian food but this tasted like they poured 1lb of sugar.
Overall I’m not impressed with the restaurant. The décor is nice, the food is average, I just don’t think it’s worth the 1+ hour wait.

We came here on Valentine’s day weekend with a group of 24 people. Their food is actually great. Given the size of our party, we were forced to do the Vday prixe fix menu, which was either $ 35 for app, entrée, desert + one of the house drink (or $ 40 if you get a specialty drink). I ordered the chicken satay, pork chop, and green tea cheesecake.
I was taken aback with the chicken satay. I was expecting chicken on a stick with peanut sauce, but was greeted with chicken pieces in a lettuce wrap and crunchy stuff on top. The pork chop appears last on the list of entrees but was definitely the best you can choose from. The portion is huge (you actually receive 2 pieces of pork chop) and was soft to bite into. Also as an FYI, the pork chop does great as a left over meal. I had it the next morning, popped it in the microwave, and it smelled and tasted great. The green tea cheesecake was good, but the other option for dessert (molten lava chocolate something) was fantastic. I’m not a huge fan of chocolate desserts, but it was prepared perfectly. The outside had a bit of a hardness to it, and the middle was soft and gooey. Would definitely get the chocolate over the cheesecake next time.
Despite having a great meal, the reason I rated this place a 3 is because of the service. Given that we had such a large party, we were first forced to choose either a 6:30pm or an 11pm reservation. Then they informed us everyone needed to be on time or else they would give our table away. Fine, we agreed to 6:30pm and stressed to our entire group to be on time. Come 6:25pm, only half of our group had arrived, and half were en route. And so we asked if it would be possible to give us a 10 minute leeway. The hostess agreed, but at 6:35pm, she was pressuring us about the table again. I can understand their need to want to give tables to other customers, but there was NO ONE else waiting for a table. The only people waiting on a table were the people who were with our party. Then, once everyone arrived, the table wasn’t even ready for us. Once they prepped our table, they tried to fit 11 people on what would comfortably fit 8 people. Our party just looked around at each other with a «seriously?» look on our faces. Just because you add more place settings doesn’t mean this table can fit more people. We ended up squeezing 20 people, and 4 members of our party sat separately. Which turned out great for them because they were able to get their food, drinks, and checks faster than we did. Lastly, they did our check incorrectly and charged us for 1 extra person.
The food is great here, and it does get really busy as the night goes on, but given the service we received here, I wouldn’t make this a place I would stop by again on my next trip.

I have been to this eatery a few times and every time it has been due to a friend picking the place and wanting me to go. I tend to not want to venture anywhere near this place because parking is always hard to find.
Pros
What I do like about this place is the deco. The water in the middle of the room is quite lovely especially at night when the lights are reflected by it. I also very much appreciate the variety of nonalcoholic beverages that are offered. Everyone can feel fancy and festive without having to order a soda. The lunch specials are another added bonus especially if you are meeting with a group of people and do not want a high tab.
Cons
There is absolutely nothing proprietary about the food; it is typical Thai that one can buy anywhere. Unless you live in the same neighborhood you can save yourself a trip by going to any Thai restaurant close to you. I have been told that Sea is owned by the same people who own the Lantern in Brooklyn Heights and Spice… I am not sure if it is true but I do feel that the menus mimic each other with Spice having the best flavor though. On this particular lunch visit the service was not up to par. Two of my friends ordered brown rice and got white… Dome items from their lunch special were also «sold out» and our plates were taken while we were still eating… mind you the place wasn’t packed.
So I am still not a fan and will stick to Thai food closer to home.

I LOVE Sea!!!
I tried Sea for the first time for a friends birthday party and I actually really enjoyed it.
The travel is deep if you’re coming from Queens but it’s worth it.
Warning you now, parking is hard to find but you eventually WILL find it. You may just have to walk far.
I had the Thai shrimp with rice which was really good. I wanted more.
The food came out very fast and our servers were on point.
I was with a large group but we were accommodated fast and efficiently.
They have great places to take pictures but everyone’s favorite is the swing that they have infront of the waiting area. Very popular.
I recommend

I’ve been here a number of times, as expected it’s not easy to park in this area and if you go on a Friday or Saturday night expect to wait for a while (they don’t take reservations for groups less than 8) but do yourself a favor and grab a drink at the bar, very strong cocktails, I really like the ambiance of the place, but gotta say this isn’t a good date spot simply because the music is really loud especially during peak times you won’t be able to hear each other, the food itself if great, I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried here it’s definitely recommended

I always like sea because it’s consistent the food is always fresh and the service is always good and the prices are very very reasonable

Came here for a birthday dinner (1÷28÷2016) and had quite the experience! Despite the great reviews about this restaurant, I was shocked and appalled from the horrible service. We weren’t seated immediately despite having a reservation. When seated, the waitress DID NOT introduce herself. The waiter delivering the meals had the AUDACITY to NOT clear off the table of empty plates from our appetizers before places the entrées down and had an attitude when asked to do so. They disregarded my request for extra cashews inside of my pineapple fried rice. Just when I thought that things couldn’t get any worse, the staff sang happy birthday to my friend and set the cake at the middle of the table rather than directly in front of her! There’s just certain protocol restaurants abide to in order to ensure a pleasant experience for their guests and this was NOT it. On the bright side, the food was delicious and the ambience is nice, however, a second visit in the future is extremely questionable as far as I’m concerned.

What the heck w the bathrooms! I was not prepared for that experience. Felt like I was using a porta potty and then to top it off there’s a tv in there showing what’s happening in the place, really? Spying on bae while in the potty, I think not.
While in the potty the thought, where the heck am I going to wash my hands. Well it’s in the open, looked like a freakin fountain. Very weird ! The food was ok, boom boom chicken. The warm bread pudding yummmmmm. The ambience is great

I was craving Thai food so my friends suggested we go here. The ambiance here is very unique for a Thai restaurant. A very spacious restaurant that’s trendy yet still has that Asian vibe. It’s evident they go all out on the décor.
Anyways, I ordered the normal Pad Thai which comes with shrimp and chicken and the Boom Boom Chicken. Both were reasonably priced for the portions and the quality. They were Americanized dishes but were still absolutely delicious. I had no complaints on the Pad Thai with the exception of the fact that I had only two pieces of shrimp. It was only an extra dollar more but still a bit disappointing. I won’t hold it over them though obviously. The Boom Boom Chicken was also very delicious. It was a deep fried piece of chicken, kind of katsu style, with two large shrimp tempuras on top and drizzled with a sweet, nutty, almost coconut-​y sauce. It also came with rice on the side and while it was a bit too sweet, I still really enjoyed the dish. My friend ordered the Drunk Man’s Noodle, which was the restaurant’s take on the drunken noodle dish. I only had a couple bites but, while he loved the entrée, I thought it was very salty.
Service was fine; our server was always prompt and our waters were always refilled. Not the kindest or warmest fellow though.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed both of my dishes. But I also made a mental note to stay away from the Drunk Man’s noodles. I’ll definitely be back here, especially to try their lunch specials and perhaps to try their sushi as well.

Sooo I didn’t dine here, but we did swing by on a Fri. night to check out the bar and use their bathroom! Haha
This place was the perfect combo of a clubby lounge and trendy restaurant — fast-​paced music, dim lighting, beautiful décor. It’s pretty noisy up front, especially by the bar, so maybe not the best for conversation.
The bathrooms, which are situated right next to the bar, are definitely interesting: There’s a communal sink (hate those), plus 4 or 5 unisex single-​stall bathrooms shaped like wooden cylinders. Voyeurism alert: Each one has a video monitor inside so that you can watch the dining room in real time. So you’ve been warned: While your date does his/​her business in the BR, he/​she could be waaaatching you…
The next time in Williamsburg, I’m coming back to check out dinner.

after all these years I am surprised Sea still serves solid food. I ordered take out and waited inside for my order. It was prompt, service was nice, food was good.
There are two salmons on the menu, a dark sea and grilled salmon, BOTH are delicious and big portions.

You can only hear about a certain cuisine so much before you either build up a resistance to it just on principle or you give in and give it a try. Such was the case for me with thai food found at Sea. After a friend raved about Thai food and specifically this establishment, I allowed myself to be herded onto one of the sketchiest subway rides I have experienced in quite a while, complete with the requisite crazy person with blue lips, overly aggressive vagabonds singing Christmas carols with strikingly great voices, and an overtly suspicious accidental groping. It’s also important to note I am not a NYer at all and any meal that requires three subway lines in sub freezing temperatures already has a a high bar set due to my stubborn critical nature of all things unknown.
As soon as I walked in the unique ambiance hit me in the face. Literally. I walked into Christmas likes strung around the happy buddha. This was entirely because of my own clumsy ability to forget how to walk when I am busy snap chatting pictures of cool places.
The lighting, seating, and music hits you with an assault of zenishness that for a Georgia boy was both entirely comforting and and a bit disconcerting but thrilling all at once. How did I step out of a sketchy alley into the heart of Thailand. Following those three subway trains, I found myself responding to the call of nature and I immediately found the restrooms to be entirely part of the adventure. You know the pods from aliens? Think pods with Indiana Jones décor. The sinks are in the middle of a space that is only separated by zenlike beaded metal curtains and you have three pods to chose from. Solo pod one. Solo pod two. and Urinal triad pod three. I chose the more adventurous urinal pod entirely out of necessity, as the other two were already in use by other adventurers. Let’s just say its a small round room with no partitions and three urinals spread around the pod. Very unique and it served it’s purpose. It was also quite entertaining on the way out to hear everyone else’s equally confused where is the bathroom questions… over and over… and over. I’m sure the nearby bartender hates the bathroom design. Anyway, I should have taken a picture of it, it was that unique. However, I’m told by the experts that taking pictures in bathrooms is socially awkward at best… even in Brooklyn. Still, try the restrooms for the adventure of it.
After getting through this major life challenge, I then joined my friends at a table and I was introduced to my first thai food. What can I say… it was phenomenal. The kind of meal you brag about to everyone ad nauseum. The kind of meal you dream about for months and desperately try to find. The kind of meal you literally plan your next road trip around. The lemongrass seafood soup was made from the stock of angelic heavenly calamari and scallops, it was that good. I’m probably exaggerating, but only a little. It was so good, I ignored every lesson I learned in child hood and slurped up all of the Thailandish goodness with reckless abandon.
The soup was followed by an appetizer of dumplings. Truthfully, I must confess I have always hated dumplings of all nationalities. I guess I’m rather zenophobic about dumplings, but it comes from an early childhood experience that forever equates dumplings with soggy bread and bitter disappointment. However, I found these dumplings to be very hearty and even though I still don’t like dumplings, the dumpling dipping sauce was so good I devoured the dumplings merely because to drink the dumpling dipping sauce from the tiny cup like a shot would obviously be a faux pas in any culture. The dumpling sauce itself is worth the visit. Some variation of soy sauce and nectar of the heavens. I hear the hallelujah chorus singing just at the briefest mention of this concoction.
Finally, the main course. Yes, I went with the traditional highly over reviewed dish known as pad thai. It was phenomenal. A deceptively small bowl housed a powerful punch of noodle, peanut, chicken, and various vegetables of questionable heritage. I describe it as the secret lovechild birthed from a torrid affair between pasta and peanut butter. I mean, think about it. PASTA and PEANUT BUTTER birthed a child! This is pad thai in my mind. Yes, I’m sure you professional foodie connoisseurs will find my description simplistic and totally and factually without merit. Still, I stand by it. I loved this dish more than I should ever confess. Rich and flavorful and deceptively light for such a hearty meal. I can’t wait to go back for this meal!
The service was great. The ambiance rocked. The food was other worldly. I am now extremely displeased with Sea, as I cannot possibly afford to fly up there from Atlanta every week to enjoy their sinfully good temptations. I’m seriously contemplating a gofundme account to get me back to this restaurant.
I shall see my way back to Sea soon.

Straight to the point… must say, this place is even more beautiful in person! The staff is very attentive and polite. I just came here 2 days ago for my birthday and I had a great time. Being that my bday fell on a Saturday, it was extremely busy and we had to wait a little over an hour to be seated, however we were greeted by a waitress with a drink menu so that we can order drinks while we wait, and I loved that!
Everything I had to eat was A1! No complaints what so ever. The serving sizes are nicely proportioned. I can honestly say 2 or 3 appetizers would have held me over but I ordered an entrée and my food was extremely delicious!
From the live D. J playing music, to the actual mood and ambiance of this place, I am most DEFINITELY coming back here again.
I gave this review 5 stars because I received great service, amazing food, the scenery is beautiful, and I had a great time. What more can I say? Come here and see for yourself!

Now this was rather exciting, if I don’t say myself. I’ve heard about Sea for the past few years and I’ve never had an occasion to find myself there because I’m always so busy running from one eatery to the next. This past weekend, however, I was invited to a surprise birthday party and wouldn’t you know it, the restaurant choice was Sea. Finally, I’ll have a chance to experience this Thai food I’ve head so much about.
First of all, when you walk into Sea, your jaw drops because of its size and beauty. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like your walking into Trump Plaza or the White House but for a restaurant it’s beautifully appointed and esthetically pleasing to the eye. If the look doesn’t get you, the ambiance and vibe will.
The next things you will no doubt enjoy is the food and drinks. Not to mention the excellent service and friendly staff. I started my meal with an appetizer. Basically, it was a steamed shrimp dumpling but the sauce that was served with it, man on man was it out of sight. For my entrée, I had a dish called the darkened Sea, it was loaded various seafood items and such. The sauce was amazing and I’ve included a picture for your viewing pleasure.
Needless to say, Sea lived up to its reputation and Ive already made plans to return.

This is definitely a classic spot. If you like eating and live in nyc then you probably have been here or know someone who has been here. Basically if you can breath then you ate here at least once or twice lol. This restaurant is well known for its décor and atmosphere. It screams chic but still has an intimate vibe about it. The small pond and buddha like statue grab your attention as soon as your enter. And the swings in the waiting area are a staple. Its great for pictures and good for killing time as you wait for your table.
Lets get down to business. The prices are great. The food portions were generous. And the vast menu had an array of items to choose from. The drink menu looked decent. I ordered the Mora and I was pleasantly surprised at how strong it was. The plum wine is also a great choice.
Only bad thing to say about this place was the service was a bit lack luster. They need to breath some personality into the waiters. We had a fairly large group and the waiter flubbed a few orders. And more importantly are drinks did not arrive promptly.
***** Disclaimer: We ate on a sunday around 4pmish. Therefore the wait was minimal and we were seated immediately. This place is infamous for being busy and long waits ******

I don’t get the hype… This place is always so crowded and Im not quite sure for what reason.
The ambiance and décor are exquisite but the place has more of a clubby feel rather than a restaurant.
Ive been here twice and both times my food smelled terrible. Absolutely putrid. However, the staff are very accommodating and kind with changing orders if there are any issues or concerns.

Went here with my boyfriend and his family, just to get dinner and catch up. The atmosphere and ambience inside is great. Really trendy and beautiful inside and has much more seating than many restaurants in that area of Brooklyn. The menu is huge, but nothing too eccentric. Kind of «noob» Thai food if you ask me and I’ve definitely had better Thai food.
The service was lackluster at best. We waited nearly an hour for a table and were told that our wait time wouldn’t start until our whole party was there. I understand not being seated until the whole party is there, but we knew we had an hour wait and our entire party showed up within 20 minutes. Why couldn’t that 20 minutes of waiting be put towards our 60 minute wait time? I’m not sure, but that left a bad taste in my mouth.
Our waitress was unenthused. She gave us our food and drinks, but barely spoke otherwise. She never checked on us to see if everything came out okay, as per service standards anywhere else, so it wasn’t exceptional.
My boyfriend ordered some kind of spicy seafood entrée, which wasn’t that spicy at all. The curry that my boyfriend’s mom had was really great and was really spicy, but if you’re going to advertise «spicy» on your menu and as the title of the entrée, make sure it has some kick.
Overall, there’s way better Thai food in the area, with better service and a more eclectic menu choice. This place is okay. Definitely cool and trendy and the pricing is pretty good for the portion size, but there’s no need to go out of your way to see this place.

I don’t know how to talk about Thai food because of the many Thai places I’ve eaten at in NY, I can’t escape the feeling that most of them taste the same. I don’t mean that they taste bad but there haven’t been a lot of stand outs either. (That’s also not to say that there isn’t bad Thai because there is.) It’s safe to assume American Thai food is just that — American. Sure, you can probably say that of many international cuisines in the US, but there are some that are more guilty than others of conforming to American preferences to the detriment of authenticity. But then how important is authenticity when it comes to culinary innovation? GAH, I’ve dug too deep! Why am I here again?
Oh right. Dinner at Sea was good. It didn’t really stand out among other Thai dinners I’ve had but my Pattaya Noodles balanced its savory, slightly sweet, and peanuty flavors nicely. As with most Thai, the food was also very reasonably priced even if the décor suggests a fancier meal than what’s offered. The décor and sheer amount of space the restaurant has to work with is pretty impressive. If you’re here on a date or something resembling that, try calling in to reserve a table by the pool/​pond/​small body of water. I was on a lowly friend date and presumably unworthy.

3 for overall experience

The overall experience is great! The space is huge. There’s a fountain with Buddha overlooking it, there’s holiday lights. There’s tables around the fountain. There’s a large swing with a DJ booth. Separate bar. The bartender gave us a good pour. The music was loud but still great. Our servers were courteous. Special thanks to our food runner who went beyond and made the overall dining experience nice.
The food… Not good. Our noodles were so salty that it was borderline inedible. This is not the authentic thai experience if you’re looking for it.
Sui Mai, crab Rangoon and streak and fries?

I was actually really excited to go, but honestly came out slightly disappointed. Of course, it’s all worth it for the experience, but the food is better elsewhere so come for the atmosphere.
You’ll probably have to make a reservation ahead — they’re really good about honoring it even if you are late, as I was on a Friday night. Also be careful, there’s minimal parking there so you’re probably better off taking the L train two blocks away. It’s a huge restaurant, and honestly very lovely if you have night vision. I unfortunately cannot see well in the dark, even when it is dim, almost dark, as it is inside Sea, and the candles and lights were extremely bright i all the wrong places. Nonetheless, I had trouble reading the menu, but I usually go in and order the shrimp pad thai and a thai iced tea wherever I go, so no worries there.
Our waiter took forever to get to our table but I’ll be honest — he was really nice and food actually came out pretty fast. The thai iced tea wasn’t really that great. They added tapioca, but it wasn’t the soft, chewy tapioca I had expected, it was hard inside and soft outside, meaning they probably didn’t cook it for long enough. We had two appetizers — stuffed crab ragoon and tup tim fritters. I really liked the stuffed crab ragoon, I would recommend it. However, it’s oddly plated in a sea (haha) of thai chili sauce. Really wonderful if you love that stuff, like I do, but really horrible if you hate it and it’s literally soaking in it. The shrimp pad thai isn’t the best I’ve had, but it’s a lot of food. They also add a lot of shrimp so you get the bang for your buck.
The bathroom is also strange — it’s a pod with a TV screen that just circulates the entire restaurant so you can see everything happening in black and white.
Anyway, despite all the strange things about this place, be sure to take photos with the lake and sit on the swinging bench while you’re waiting.

I’ve been here a few times with friends and it’s a nice place to drink and have some thai food. My favorite dish here is the curry duck. Their Currys are good but not really the other dishes. The other dishes seemed too salty. They are ok but I think what people like about this place is the atmosphere. It’s a very dimmed place where there’s also a Dj spinning music here. Then drinks here are not too expensive and are pretty good especially the margaritas and mojito.

Fast Thai food, bumping environment.
The crowd recently is how do you say… urban? At least on the Friday night I went. It’s a large, clubby, high volume restaurant. The food was really tasty and delicious but tasted fried/​fast underneath the sauces. That’s more of a texture thing and not crucial to the overall experience.
Dishes are cheap, food good, place is fun as well as nice to look at. I recommend coming here and I will come back. You should.

I love this place! I have been a faithful client for over 5 years. It is among one of the prettiest Thai restaurants I’ve visited. Delicious food + cheap prices = a hell of a good time!
They recently expanded their menu to include sushi and more overall food options. The drink options appear the same. My fav Thai dish is pad thai and this one comes with shrimp and chicken now — Yes! I also tried the calamari but none of the sushi. I will try it next time.
I do have a few cons — super long wait, mediocre drinks, very loud music.
The service is pretty good — the servers always appear rushed but it makes sense b/​c they are always super busy.
Sea will continue to be one of my go-​to date spots!

Excelente! Los Jade Dumplings son los mejores Dumplings de la vida!
La decoración es atractiva y los asientos cómodos. Definitivamente un lugar al que tienes que ir.
El servicio muy bueno, pero llega con tiempo porque no hay reservaciones (hasta donde yo me quede) y puedes esperar un poquitín para entrar.
Todo lo que comí fue rico, pero me enamore perdidamente de los Jade Dumplings.

I’ve been to Sea dozens of times at this point. Definitely my favorite spot to eat in Williamsburg. Beautiful, modern décor with great food.
My friend and I went for dinner on a Tuesday night and were seated promptly. I know later in the evening and weekends it gets very busy and there can be a bit of a wait as they don’t take reservations.
We ordered drink; Pink Lady with Pearls and a mango mojito. The mojito was great and pretty strong while the pink lady kinda looked and tasted like Pepeti Bismol. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
Their menu is huge! So many items to choose from but we decided on a caesar salad (a favorite of mine), crab rangoon, and spare ribs as apps. Everything was good except the ribs were on the fatty. We also ordered rama the king with shrimp, 6o’clock spicy fire fried rice, and another chicken and beef dish my friend ordered. All of these dishes were great! The rice was spicy!!! Just be warned… It was perfect for me but may be too spicy for others.
Can’t wait to go back!

Restaurant de comida Tailandesa, platos exquisitos, y de gran variedad, ambiente acogedor, súper atractiva decoración, un poco ruidoso, pero nada que realmente le impida disfrutar de una velada acogedora, buenos precios, y una cómoda locación accesible a vías de tren, barra con gran variedad de bebidas, en general un sitio de vanguardia! El cual debe visitar si esta en el área de Northside en Williamsburg. Servicio amable y cortes. rate A. Nice place!

A chaque fois que je vais à New York je vais faire un tour à Sea.
C’est un des meilleurs restaurants thaïlandais où j’ai mangé, c’est à Williamsburg un quartier de Brooklyn trop mignon, et ce n’est vraiment pas cher!
il y a beaucoup d’entrées qui sont à tomber et de plats délicieux et on peut composer plus ou moins son plat (choisir quels types de nouilles, viandes ou tofu…).
De plus j’adore la décoration, bref c’est un endroit incontournable de New York où je reviens chaque fois avec plaisir!

Also ich war nicht so begeistert. Der Laden sieht von aussen echt stylisch aus, allerdings hat mich die laute Musik doch sehr gestört. Ausserdem fand ich das Essen nicht besonders und man hat sich geweigert uns noch etwas Reis zu bringen. Reis? Das kann ja wohl mal drin sein. Und dann hatte man das Gefühl dass man so schnell wie möglich gehen sollte um Platz für die wartenden Gäste zu machen. In Williamsburg und Greenpoint gibt es meiner Meinung nach bessere Thais.

Une décoration reposante, design et intimiste contrastée par une foule de clients dinant au rythme d’une ambiance musicale électro parfois un peu forte.
Service discret et de qualité assiette thai fraiches et savoureuses, estomacs trop fragiles s’abstenir.

Sehr gutes Restaurant in Brooklyn. Abends mussten wir einige Zeit an der Bar Platz nehmen und auf einen Tisch warten, da wir nicht reserviert hatten. Das Ambiente war cool und in der Mitte des Restaurants gab es einen Pool über dem ein großer Buddha thronte. Die Bar hat eine lange Theke und ist etwas dunkel, so das man die Hand vor Augen kaum sieht.
Der Eingangbereich war ebenfalls sehr stylish. Die Toiletten waren sauber und im Seitenbereich einzelne runde ca. 4 Meter im Durchmesser große Tonnen aus Stein, die allein schon ein Hingucker waren.
Nachdem wir unsere Sitzplätze hatten war der Service einwandfrei und das Thai-​Essen ebenfalls recht zügig da. Es waren kleine Portionen in Tapas-​Größe, die Menge hätte mehr sein können, aber insgesamt war ich mit dem Essen zufrieden.
Außerdem legte ein DJ House-​Musik auf, die so laut war, das eine Unterhaltung zu dritt oder viert fast unmöglich war. Dadurch entsteht in dem Restaurant ein Disco-​Ambiente und das Publikum ist entsprechend gekleidet.
Man muss etwas Zeit mitbringen, was aber ja normal ist. Als Fazit kann ich nur sagen: Sollte man mal gesehen haben, wenn man in Brooklyn/​NY ist.
