About Tuna Kahuna

Tuna Kahuna is a popular poke restaurant located in downtown Burlingame, known for its fresh fish and friendly staff. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with counter and indoor/outdoor seating, and serves adult beverages. The poke bowls feature very fresh fish with great flavors, and while they tend to be on the pricier side, the quality of ingredients makes it worth it. Portion sizes can vary depending on the bowl chosen. Customers often find the food to be delicious and fresh, with options like the Tuna shiso wasabi bowl, which includes cured egg for a unique flavor. The spicy tuna is highly praised as the most delicious ever, though some wish it came with wasabi. The miso soup is flavorful, often with added egg, making it more tasty than typical sushi restaurant miso. Every dish is well prepared and fresh, with ingredients that don’t need extra seasoning to enjoy. Fish and toppings like beets and tangerine slices are less common but add a special touch. The staff is friendly, and service is quick, though seating can be crowded and uncomfortable, leading some customers to prefer takeout. The owner’s personal touch is evident, as he checks in on diners and shares the inspiration behind some dishes. On weekends, there is a Chef’s Table dinner with high-end dishes at reasonable prices. Overall, it’s an ideal spot for casual dining or special occasions, with attention to detail and a welcoming atmosphere.
