We all know La La as a well-known multi-hyphenate, and this time, she’s getting a new achievement just for Women’s History Month. New York City Asian-Fusion restaurant Sei Less announced that it partnered with the actress and entrepreneur to create a limited-edition, signature dish called the La La Lo Mein.
“I’ve eaten at Sei Less and known Dara for years, so getting the chance to create my own signature dish during Women’s History Month felt extra special,” she said. “It’s an incredible feeling to celebrate this moment while collaborating with a restaurant I genuinely love, and I’m excited for everyone to experience a dish that reflects both my personal taste and the vibrant energy of this place.”
La La worked directly with the Sei Less chef Allen Ma to conceptualize and develop the new dish, which was inspired by her favorite flavors across Asian-Fusion cuisine and features lo mein noodles with shrimp, lobster, pineapple, pumpkin, red bell pepper, baby bok choy and La La’s secret sauce.
The dish is available for purchase at Sei Less, exclusively during Mother’s Day Weekend. This marks the restaurant’s first collaboration on a limited-edition signature menu item. Guests can order the dish à la carte from the main menu for $35.
“La La has been an incredible supporter of Sei Less over the years, so choosing to celebrate her for Women’s History Month was a no-brainer,” said Sei Less co-founder Dara Mirjahangiry. “Our team collaborated closely with her to create a delicious menu item for our guests — a dish that incorporates Sei Less’ trademark flavor infused with La La’s go-to ingredients and recipe.”
To create the dish, La La came to Sei Less, where she met with Mirjahangiry to brainstorm and develop the recipe for her preferred dish.
Once they aligned on the final item, La La personally worked with Chef Ma in the kitchen to prepare the dish, integrate her special sauce and execute the meal to perfection.
With a commitment to bridging culture, cuisine, and social impact, Sei Less has also worked with established and emerging celebrities on philanthropic initiatives to support underserved communities.
