Sebo

Michael Black Pops Up; Two-Month Reservation Woes

THE MISSION—Sebo's Michael Black bounced back from the closure of his restaurant by becoming Local Mission Market's fishmonger, and now he's getting back into the cooking side of things by hosting a weekly Sunday izakaya pop-up at sister spot Local's Corner. He'll offer a handful of Japanese dishes (including some Sebo holdovers) made with local ingredients, plus Fort Point beer. [Inside Scoop]...

Souvla Snags Sebo Space; 4505's Paleo Turducken

HAYES VALLEY—Sebo just closed on Saturday, but its space on Hayes already has a taker: Souvla, a fast-casual Greek spot from Charles Bililies (Bouchon, Michael Mina) featuring artisan souvlaki, Greek frozen yogurt, and draft beer and wine. Tablehopper previewed the concept last year, for those seeking further intel. [Hayeswire/Tablehopper]

Hayes Valley's Sebo to Close October 26

Bummer news for Hayes Valley sushi fans today, as pioneering sushi spot Sebo has announced that their last day of service will be next Saturday, October 26. As Tablehopper reports, chef-owner Michael Black wasn't able to negotiate a reasonable new lease, and combined with his becoming a dad for the third time, decided it might be a good time to take a break.

Pristine sushi---and saké to match.

Sebo Restaurant Review: Sushi purists jockey for space at the miniscule bar of this mod Hayes Valley restaurant. The space is stylish and contemporary with a loft-like atmosphere, Japanese screens and six sleek, trapezoidal wood tables along with the coveted ringside seats. Sushi chef Michael Black grew up in Japan and with this venture has fulfilled the desire to bring the freshest selection...

Owner and sushi chef Michael Black has created a unique sushi restaurant in San Francisco, and you could walk right by if you didn't have the address. There is a small counter in the back, which is where you'll want a seat if it's available. The case is full of only the most fresh, seasonal, and sustainable seafood—so no unagi or bluefin tuna here. You also won't find Americanized sushi like...

Sebo is not your typical Japanese restaurant. Here you will find no California Rolls, Philadelphia Rolls or ramen. If you've seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi on Netflix, Sebo is that in America in real life.

I had a uni ($6), Miso Soup ($4) and one of the Negishima ($12). The food was very flavorful, traditionally made and you get a very Japanese feel. I will definitely come back when I have the...

Fresh, seasonal, phenomenal fish sets this minimalist, modern sushi restaurant apart from its many Bay Area competitors. Don’t expect fancy rolls, or even many seafood alternatives – this is the place where sushi conossieurs drop boucou bucks on seafood in its pure, unadulterated form, washed down with an impressive selection of sakes.

Here at sebo, we strive to bring you the highest quality sushi in the traditional edomae style. our focus is the freshness and quality of our fish. we only carry fish that are in season and obtain most of our fish from the three main markets in japan on a daily basis. as rice is one of the most important elements of sushi, we only use koshihikari, the short grain variety traditionally used to...

Rather than spending money on advertising and promotion, this low-key Hayes Valley sushi restaurant relies on word-of-mouth to get its message out. The traditional menu is seasonal depending on supply.

This chic sushi restaurant is elite. While the prices on the menu may make your eyes bulge, the food will not disappoint. Sebo is rumored to serve some of the best sushi in the city. The owners take such pride in the quality and presentation of their dishes that soy sauce and ginger are available only by request or recommendation from the chef. This is one of those one-time-a-year places for a...
