We tried the Seki sushi dinner (sushi pieces with Seki's special toppings on the fish), as the non-traditional pairings seem to be the hype here. It was good on average, but there's a lot of good sushi places in the city, and I wouldn't call this my favorite (but wouldn't mind going back to try the omakase).
What I liked -- yellowtail jalapeno and spicy scallop roll were my favorites. The spicy scallop roll didn't come with the dinner, but we swapped it out for $2 extra, and it was worth it. The spicy tuna roll was also better than average. The smoked salmon sushi was flavorful; the hint of smokiness complemented the fattiness of the fish.
The tuna with tofu sauce was good but not amazing, considering that seems to be a specialty item, and the "famous" salmon with sauteed tomato was a let down for me...the flavors didn't seem to gel at all, and the salmon tasted bland next to the acidity of the tomato. The eggplant was pretty tasty actually, but I would've preferred another fish. And the chopped toro sushi was fine, but a whole piece of toro would've been better (obviously). The rice was a bit hard/undercooked for me personally. Other pieces good but not super memorable.
