They serve a wide variety of different fish (you can get some sushi you won't find at regular "American" sushi places), and they were all really fresh! We pretty much went for the recommendation and ordered Kanpachi (came with Shiso leaf), Yellowtail, Chu-Toro, Ama Ebi, Aji, Kohada, Ika (Squid) with Shiso leaf, and Saba. The chef also gave us little bonus dishes - Kinpira Gobo & Grilled Salmon (it may have been because our friends know the sushi chef pretty well).

We were getting one order each in the beginning, but we ordered one order for both of us and started sharing since we wanted to try a greater variety (highly recommended to do that since one order of sushi always comes with 2 pieces of sushi :P) They were all excellent, and we were pretty full. My only minor complaint... their Chu-Toro was kind of disappointing since it tasted like regular Akami. It was fresh, but it wasn't melt-in-my-mouth quality for me. But, it seemed like I was the only one who noticed it though...oh well!!

The restaurant has a cool Southern California Beach town vibe to the place and is somewhat more Americanized because of the location. So, if you are looking for more of a true strict traditional Japanese sushi experience, this place is probably not for you. However, Sushi Sei will probably satisfy people that are new to sushi and for someone that already knows quite a bit about sushi. It’s a good place to take out-of-town guests because of the close proximity to the Hermosa Pier.
