After much success with her first endeavor here in the United States opening Noodle+ in White Plains in 2012, owner Saisuda Ittichaicharn has now opened a bigger second dining destination in Sleepy Hollow called Seaspice. The ambitious mother of two, with another child on the way this fall, has brought her authentic Asian cuisine to local residents with Seaspice and is giving customers a new fun and lively place to enjoy traditional Thai food.
Since opening this past spring, the clean and bright restaurant livens up the quiet neighborhood corner where it is tucked away off Main Street in the infamous Westchester town of Sleepy Hollow. Seaspice, which was named by Ittichaicharn herself, offers traditional Thai favorites such as sesame chicken, crispy pork belly, and duck as well as curry dishes and salads. Following in the popularity at Noodle+ this new dining spot serves up delicious noodle soup bowls, stir-fried noodles and freshly made dumplings for all to enjoy. Ittichaicharn has put her sister Saichol in charge of overseeing the day to day operations of the restaurant and credits her as the main inspiration to open the second location. “My sister has stood by my side since we opened Noodle+ and now she has been instrumental in giving me creative input into Seaspice’s menu,” said Ittichaicharn.
The restaurants’ interior boasts windows galore and pops of the color yellow which instantly brightens customers’ smiles when they walk through the door. With seating capacity for up to 50 guests the restaurant can be used for private parties and events and offers a full catering menu. Ittichaicharn, who is originally from Thailand and now calls Westchester home, has used her love for great food and keen business sense to build her business. By joining the local Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups she is building relationships in the community and getting to know her new neighbors. The restaurant was welcomed into the neighborhood with the official ribbon cutting ceremony in the spring with the Mayor of Sleepy Hollow and Ittichaicharn hopes to hosts business networking functions later this fall. According to Ittichaicharn, Seaspice currently has their beer and wine license in place and will receive a full liquor license next month. The menu will also soon feature Seafood Specialties and the modestly priced Kids Menu offers choices for guests 12 and under including stir fried noodles and wonton soup. “When we started out with Noodle+ I was truly surprised by how much the locals loved our food and I realized how much of a need there was for traditional Thai food in this area,” said Ittichaiacharn. “By opening Seaspice in Sleepy Hollow we hope to continue to fill that need and become the go-to place for a unique and delicious dining experience in Westchester.” Seaspice is located at 128 Cortlandt Street in Sleepy Hollow and is open Tuesday – Sunday for lunch and dinner. Free parking is available and free delivery for takeout. For more information visit their website www.sea-spice.com or like them on Facebook.
