There is a saying, ‘The world is your oyster’. And if there’s one place in India where the worldly oysters come together, that’s Mumbai. It’s the city where the world meets India and India meets the world, a true melting pot of cultures and cuisines. Mumbai’s love affair with Asian food goes way back, with some of the best Japanese, Thai, and Korean spots. And amidst that plethora, there are still visionaries who want to bring more authenticity and variety. The recent addition beyond the fine-dining trope is Seasee, which brings beloved street food from Southeast Asia. The space and the menu are a vibrant love letter to the region, serving quintessential favourites from Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Seasee – Southeast Asian Street Eats
Having officially opened earlier on June 24, 2026, Seasee unites the traditions across Southeast Asian countries. Located off the road in Suburbia Mall in Bandra West, it doesn’t scream of its existence. Once home to the beloved Japanese space, Mirai, Seasee is also the passion child of the same founders, Saamir Chandnani and Rinchen Angchuk. What started as their personal journey to rediscover authentic Thai cuisine across the streets of Bangkok ultimately blossomed into something more. They returned, carrying the distinct flavours from across Southeast Asia, learning and relearning how to provide the taste of the streets.
What do you find inside?
Stepping onto the 2nd floor, Seasee greets you with a blast of quirky neon lights, reminiscent of bustling Bangkok streets at midnight. Moreover, the space doesn’t shy away from owning its maximalist beauty; it’s bright, happy, and fun. The 60-seater space is divided between regular dining tables and a cosy canopied area. Moreover, to enter the latter, slip off your shoes and get comfortable in the wooden setup that offers a gentle nod to traditional Japanese dining rooms. Each section is also covered with tapestry honouring the art of Southeast Asian hawker streets, proudly displaying regional symbols: the Merlion of Singapore, the Dragon of Vietnam and the Tiger for Thailand. Additionally, the bar features a large selection of liquor on shelves carved from wood in the shape of a boat, and adornments of a vintage stereo, a cassette player and even a retro Coca-Cola tap dispenser.
What should you try?
Seasee presents food as a culinary narrative with its meticulously chosen ingredients with locally sourced seafood and vegetables, and authentic imported sauces and spices. If you are visiting during monsoon rains, start with a bowl of warming Soto Ayam, an Indonesian classic chicken soup with turmeric and warm spices. Or if you are a vegetarian, solace lies in the Vietnamese Pho with tofu, glass noodles and fresh herbs. The portions generously serve one but are perfectly sharable if you are keen to explore more. Moreover, to refresh your palate, the Som Tam, Thai spicy green papaya salad, brings out the perfect crunch and freshness.
Appetisers, mains and more
Moving to the appetisers, the Edamame Money bags, a timeless Singaporean street favourite paired with a sweet chilli sauce, are a must-try. On the other hand, the Chicken Satay hits the right notes with perfectly skewered, grilled, juicy chicken slathered in a peanut sauce. Nevertheless, if you are willing to get your fingers dirty, do try the Singaporean Chilli Crab. The spicy shell crab comes equipped with the necessary instruments to crack open the shells or break it with your hand. It’s wonderfully messy, but do not fret; wet tissues are provided (though bringing your own plastic gloves isn’t a bad idea!).
For starters, you absolutely must try their Jackfruit or Pork Belly baos, which arrive in servings of three. Straight out of a Japanese anime, these soft buns are whimsically shaped like teddy bears and rabbits. After all, why shouldn’t your food look as cute as it tastes? Now, we come to the main courses if you still crave something more wholesome. The Hainanese Chicken Rice, a Singaporean staple, features gently poached chicken served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth. Whereas the Malaysian classic Assam fish curry serves a tangy, spicy curry shimmered with fresh fish and coconut, and topped with a dollop of silken tofu. If you aren’t in the mood for rice, order a crispy and flaky Malaysian roti.
A sweet finish and spirited sips
The back of the menu playfully presents an end-of-the-meal tip. Order just one more dish if you are still deciding, and if you are already full, order a dessert. Heed that advice. The Mango Sticky Rice is a visual treat with fresh mango slices arranged like a blooming flower. Alternatively, the Pandan Cheesecake served with a generous dollop of vanilla ice cream balances earthy sweetness with creamy decadence.
Wash it all down with Seasee’s separate cocktails and mocktails. The menu itself is a joy with maximalist design, creative illustrations and punny names. The bar boasts experimental recipes highlighting Southeast Asian ingredients. The Island Hopper is a tropical escape with tequila, pandan coconut syrup, and pineapple-lime juice. At the same time, Rice Rice Baby mixes jasmine rice-infused tequila, lemongrass syrup, lime juice and coconut water. If you are in the mood for some spice, Hot Mess serves a savoury concoction of tequila, Thai guava chilli, cilantro, and lime.
Pro tip:
If you are looking to host your corporate friends or a mini gathering, Seasee features a VIP room with its very own balcony, Japanese-style sitting (anime and K-drama lovers know exactly what we are talking about!) and even a TV.
