I don’t particularly like to add negative reviews, so this review is on my personal likes and dislikes. You might experience a better taste because you favor this type of food. Lets start off positive. The waitress was very friendly and informative. There are a few not so good comments. Let’s start, disorganized menu, food slow to arrive, not much flavor, seemed watered down,pricey. My wife could not finish, she just said “I don’t like it”. She ordered “Seafood Rice”, which included Lobster(whole),shrimp,mussels(which she called abalone)calamari, and fish I think. She had 1/2 lobster tail and a shrimp w/rice. Thats it,I finished it, more because that 1 dish cost me $40. It was just ok to me. Not sure if it was a Thai dish or what, I couldn’t tell. Anyways, thats my review. 2 stars for the waitress. I should have followed my first rule,which is, If you walk into a restaurant for the first time,and you are the only customers, and its 5:30 pm, prime dinner time,be polite,turn around and try somewhere else. Usually if itʻs 5:30 and thereʻs a waiting list, the food must be 👍

This place is so good! I love their hot pot, ( we did the 2 people for $99 ) and all their specialty items that you can order, including the bone marrow, the specialty rice, the specialty drinks, which, by the way, they have a happy hour, and a happy hour spin at certain times. They were so attentive to me and my friend. They even brought us a special sauce they made from the Buffet sauce bar themselves. It’s a really cute inside, so don’t be deterred from the outside. The Wagyu nigiri with foie gras, and the sizzling oxtails were absolutely amazing! I definitely wanna come again!

Wonderful à la carte hot pot place with great interior design and ambience! Ordered the tomato oxtail soup base and plate of wagyu brisket ($10.99). Super nice to be able to see other dishes on the conveyor belt that you can just get. Spent $40 just on myself They also have cool benefits that come with buying their NFT and have a Discord to join.

[Above all, will I be back?] This is James Beard- nominated Chef Jimmy Li's restaurant and it didn't disappoint! If you search for excellent but reasonably priced seafood, you shall come here, not the Strip! Nothing to complain! As a Vegas local, I would like to try other foods in the future!
1. Food I had a 6 course meal that is kind of fusion, east and west. Good presentation (see the pictures) I loved the wonton soup, octopus salad and especially Seafood Rice which is perfectly cooked, fragrant, buttery and full of flavor. The seafoods were so fresh, they bring them directly from Seattle and Maine everyday. The dessert, Green tea Tiramisu was very rich and sweet for me. The overall portion could be small. I could have finished 1.5 serving lol
2. Ambience As the name 'Sea Fresh' suggests, it is an ocean concept restaurant. Minimal decor with fishnet, vessel drawing, fish mockup. A quite small place with a bar seating that has about 15 seats.
3. Service There was only one server who was friendly and attentive. Explained everyday dish. Kept filling the water and checking if there is anything needed in a timely manner.
4. Hygiene Utensils, glasses, table and floor.. everything was clean.
5. Price Prix Fixe. It is reasonable price for the quality of food. Much cheaper than the Strip!!!!
6. Location It is conveniently located in Chinatown, about 15 minutes from the Strip.
7. Parking It is in the popular restaurant & shopping plaza so it gets busy often. Might have to look for a spot like 5-10 minutes during prime hours.
8. ETC - No take out or delivery - Limited seats, reservation recommended - No alcohol license at the time of visit (I think they allow you to bring your own)

We booked online for July 01, 2023 Saturday reservation. The place is CLOSED, we waited awhile for that availability of the stated date. Very disappointed as if restaurant didn’t exist. I literally went the nxt door Korean Resto to ask the bartender the whereabouts of Sea Fresh :-( NO SIGNS JUST DOOR LOCKED. Our excitement was down to a drain. So for everyone future dining/foodie lover checking out this place : ITS CLOSED !!!!!!!!

My husband and I have stopped here before when in town and it’s never disappointed. So, this time we had a group of 20. We wanted to share this hidden gem with them also, so we stopped for lunch. They were very accommodating for our large group. The food was delivered quickly. We had more food than we could all eat and everyone agreed it would be on their list of stops the next time they’re in town!

If you love seafood. It's the place to go. We got 1, 6 courses menu for 2, and we hardly finished. They are still waiting for their liquor license, unfortunately. But, if you want alcohol they let you bring your own.
Vegetarian options: Not the place for vegetarian. It's mostly seafood. Sorry
Parking: It can be hard to park on the weekend. But if you park around the pharmacist, it's a short walk.

Jimmy the Chef was a perfect gentleman! He explained each course and the price fix menu was exactly the right amount of food. Every item was fresh and the lobster rice was an entire fresh lobster in a cream sauce that was rich and delicious. My wife and I brought a bottle of wine and had a very nice dinner of sea food- six courses and under a $100. Amazing value. Looking forward to trying it again soon!

It was our first time visiting sea fresh. The restaurant is small so reservations are necessary. We went on a Friday evening & were able to get reservations a few days in advance without trouble for a party of 5. The restaurant only serves a set menu & we found out when we arrived that the 9 course has to be requested the day before. We all opted for the 7 course selection. The service was really fantastic. There was only 1 server & she was super attentive & explained every dish. The food is an eclectic mix & all seafood based. The portions are also quite generous. My husband is a huge seafood fan & I enjoy it. We all really enjoyed the food.

Best meal in LV. Live lobster and shellfish transformed into Asian version of cioppino.Best I've ever had. Currently BYOB. 10 min uber from Strip to unassuming strip mall in Chinatown. Attentive personal service, AMAZING seafood. 3,6 or 9 course prix fixe menu. Each course with live to table fish cooked to perfection. Hot & sour seafood soup, shrimp in a light cream sauce, unbelievably tender and tasty warm octopus salad, Asian take on oysters Florentino, shrimp etoufe, and finally loster rice. It's an amazing dish similar to cioppino. Fragrant, light, and complex flavors from lobster, shellfish and other fish. Served with rice. Pleasing to the eye and palate. A whole loster presented segmented, with claws and tail shells cut to make it easy to eat. Each piece of fish cooked to perfect texture, no rubbery shrimp, and lobster melts in your mouth. I enjoy good food in LV; this is now my #1. Don't forget a bottle of wine to go with seafood!
