About
Sushi Seki Chelsea opened in 2014 at 208 West 23rd Street as the second location of chef-owner Seki Shi's sushi restaurants. The menu mirrors the Upper East Side original with a mix of classic Edomae nigiri and inventive modern pieces, served until late at the counter. Omakase is the recommended format, but the à la carte menu is equally well-regarded.
