Reviews for Tuna Kahuna in Burlingame, CA
Fresh raw fish bowls, choices of toppings and many kinds of sides
This is definitely one of the best poke I?ve had in the Bay Area! I ordered the yuzu salmon today. Despite how simple the dish... looks, it?s full of wonderful flavors and textures. The Korean daikon on the side is interesting and unique. Read more
Some of the friendliest customer service I have ever received! Our cashier went over the entire menu with us and gave us lots of... recommendations. In the end, my boyfriend and I decided on two Yuzu Salmon Bowls. I was impressed by the quality of the salmon!Very fatty and marbled. Melted in my mouth! The pickled radish were sweet and refreshing. It balanced out the umami from thetruffle. I got my bowl with a cured egg, which gave the bowl more depth! I was honestly very disappointed by the rice. It waspretty dry. The bowl also had A LOT of cilantro, which got a bit overwhelming after a while. For some reason, the sauce on mysalmon was spicy as well? But my boyfriend's salmon was not spicy? Not sure if that was a mistake.. Overall, I'm not sure if itwas worth the $20 price tag... I think I will come back and try their omakase (since I loved the fish quality). Or maybe I'llcome back and create a custom bowl. I think I just prefer my poke with more vegetables and just overall variety. Read more

Easily one of the best poke bowls I?ve had in the country. Bold statement, I know. But Tuna Kahuna really is a gem and serves up... some of the freshest poke bowls, and for great value. In particular, the yuzu hamachi bowl is special ? the flavor combinationis surprising and delightful. It doesn?t hurt that the owners and staff are super friendly, and it?s a very chill environment. Idined here both as a solo diner at the bar and with a date. Highly recommend. Read more
The fish is super fresh, light and filling. You can tell the owner really cares about his food. Coming from working in the usual... Poke spots you see everywhere, he wanted to serve Poke right and he does. The owner(s) love building relationship and makingsure you get the right kind of dish, something all small business should aspire. Must try and great spot to hang out. Need totry their sushi boxes next time. Read more
Came here on a spontaneous Friday night and it was packed indoors and outdoors. We found a two-seater outside and immediately... sat down. My husband went inside to place the order and shared that we were sitting outside so they?d know. This spot usuallysells poke during the weekdays but has a special chef?s table only on Fridays and Saturdays! We opted in for their specials (ofcourse) and thoroughly enjoyed all four dishes. We had the: - Kahuna surfboard: this came with negitoro, uni, caviar, ikura,foie gras, and toasted milk bread. One of my favorite dishes! Very fresh, tasty, and aesthetically pleasing ?? - Seared Hokkaidoscallops: this was topped with caviar truffle? sooo fresh and flavorful in every bite! - Duck sashimi: the dashi broth wasflavorful and not too salty. It was perfectly flavored and has a very soft texture when biting into it. - Uni carbonara: alsoloved this dish with the cured egg on top. Had a kick of spicy which I didn?t expect but loved. My second favorite dish if I hadto choose. Overall, presentation, taste, service was impeccable! Definitely coming back :) also very friendly servers andowners! Next time we want the bar seating to spend more quality time with the owners and chefs :) Read more
