Map of San Carlos

San Carlos and surrounding area, locate the restaurant called Seiya

Sleepy San Carlos has awoken to find this mod Japanese respite, Seiya, in its midst. Inside, find an urbane Asian aesthetic in dark wood furnishings, stone accent walls, low lights, and a long sushi bar. Lunch is quiet, but come dinnertime, the handful of tables and sushi counter fill up with locals eager to sample and share the small plates. And this is what sets Seiya apart: a full range menu-revealing small plates, robata, sushi, sashimi, and maki-that has a little something for everyone. Try the beef tataki (seared filet mignon with garlic tataki sauce); ankimo (monkfish liver with garlic ponzu); or Great Balls of Fire (deep-fried, panko-crusted, spicy tuna roll with spicy mayo). Savor sesame and green tea ice cream on the sidewalk patio on warm days.
