Instead, tonight we will serve Japanese curry with rice, udon, and pork belly." No info on pricing or reservations. Hayes St., south side, between Octavia and Laguna Sat Dec 30 22:50:22 -0800 2006 10032 david kaplan 1 2141623 Thanks for the good tip! After all-day house-cleaning (it's so-o-o Japanese to start the New Year with a clean house)...we opted for the simple fare of Japanese curry at Sebo. It was just the right touch of clean, bright flavors. The hot green tea was hand-warming on a cold night. The mood was relaxed and friendly in the green paneled wood trimmed and backlit screens - the design of the space reflects the design of the food. I loved the space and I loved the food. The seafood curry had a good mix of seafood with that tasty Japanese curry that is unlike any other curry and always evokes a cultural memory - garnished with a very well-seasoned fukujinzuke. The pork belly was meltingly rich with a perfectly balanced sweet broth and a dab of sinus-clearing hot mustard - how can you not be happy with fat on rice? I am still smiling. :^) Prices were $8 for the seafood curry and $7 for the pork belly with a $1 bowl of rice. Parking was surprisingly easy for a Saturday night.

Thanks for including the prices. Did these taste like they were made with standard curry packaged mix?

It was an unexpected delight. Tue Jan 02 16:22:06 -0800 2007 2144830 13519 Cynsa
