“What the restaurant across the street taught us.”

Just across the street from our restaurant is a halal establishment. Since we opened ten years ago, seeing the owner’s family and staff there day after day has taught us — not from books, but as people — what halal truly means, and how deeply important dietary practice can be to someone’s life.

That soy sauce can contain alcohol. That even a single piece of kitchen equipment requires careful attention. These were things we never would have noticed from a book alone.

Dietary rules aren’t mere restrictions — they’re a reflection of how someone chooses to live. To respect a person’s dietary practice is, we believe, to respect their life. We wanted to bring the best meat experience of a lifetime to as many people as possible, across differences of religion and culture. That is the pure intention behind the name “Sei.”
