Good fish, boring rolls

Sebo is known to be one of the top sushi places in SF, so now that I am starting to get over my dislike of seafood, I wanted to check it out. The SF DICS decided to go all out and order omakase, so we didn't know exactly what we were going to get, but we trusted that it would be good. All in all, we ended up having about 9 rounds of different sushi, all of which were delicately prepared with incredibly fresh fish.




Now, I'm just a sushi noob, but I have to be honest that it just got a little boring after a while. All of the preparations that we had were pretty straightforward nigiri - just a slice of fish on some rice. Don't get me wrong, the fish was great, and even the rice was incredibly delicious. But I like getting the occasional "unusual" roll - like when a restaurant adds some jalapeno or tropical fruit or whatever to the fish. If it's done well, it often really works. And it mixes things up a bit from the standard fish-on-rice.




Our omakase plus a shared bottle of sake ran us about $90 per person, and given that I started getting bored of the sushi halfway through, I'm not sure that I would go back. However, I am not sure that all the other DICS share this opinion. I saw some pretty blissful expressions on J-dawg's face all the way to the end of the meal. He even enjoyed sea urchin for the first time, so that's gotta mean something.
