Sei Bar Wakefield

Sei Bar in Wakefield is part of a local chain of restaurants in Medford and Everett in addition to this one in Wakefield. I must admit that they have a pretty slick website. I decided to visit them for lunch today since their name popped up in a discussion about Phuket. You can't really compare the two, Phuket is a pure Thai restaurant while Sei Bar is a Sushi/Japanese restaurant that also serve some Thai food as well as generic Chinese food.

Interior is very nice and slick with bar seating in the first room and booth and table seating in the second room.

The lunch menu is fairly small and you get Miso soup included. I'm not really a fan of Miso soup and this did nothing to change that. It was a nice soup bowl.

Chicken with red curry comes in a bento box and a Thai roll is also included. No dipping sauce with the roll and after declining duck sauce, I got a chili sauce that was OK. The Thai roll was, unfortunately, soggy on the outside with a soggy cabbage and carrot filling. The chicken and red curry was served with a mound of overcooked broccoli, I really don't like broccoli but can't blame them for serving it. I can blame them for serving it way overcooked. The only other veggie was some onions and mushrooms. The rice was nice and the salad was OK with one tomato and one raw carrot. The red curry itself was fairly bland and one dimensional and I don't really think a bento box is the best vehicle to serve a curry in. How do you get the sauce and rice together?
