    I had seen so many TikTok's on Mr. Tuna, and I was bummed when it originally wasn't going to fit on our itinerary, but after our previous dinner spot idea had too long of a wait, we walked across the street here and I was impressed! I ordered the Blackbeard's Delight roll which came with spicy tuna, cucumber, blackened tuna, eel sauce, wasabi cream, pickled pineapple, tempura flakes, and scallions. I thought the tuna tasted very fresh, the wasabi cream gave it a nice kick, and the pickled pineapple were a unique touch! The wait overall wasn't too long, considering it was dinner time and over the weekend, especially compared to other nearby spots, so I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

    Spicy avocado roll and sweet potato roll

    Excellent vegetarian sushi options! I love all sushi, but my friend is vegetarian and also loves sushi. Mr Tuna has several options for vegetarians. Spicy avocado roll, sweet potato roll, and a few others. We stopped in for lunch on Tuesday and we got a table right away. The serves friendly and efficient. One complaint, just a small one, was the size and price of the coke my friend ordered. A very small glass of coke for $4 is silly. Despite the small $4 coke, I will be back. The food is fantastic!

    My husband and I love Mr. Tuna. Before there was a brick and mortar, we would go to the food truck and visit the market in Portland where his sushi was sold. The sushi is always impressively fresh- great portions and I love being able to watch the chefs making the rolls. I've had everything from raw tuna, raw scallops, raw salmon, eel, etc. If you name it, I've probably had it. Point being I have never eaten a dish here that wasn't delicious and tasted like it came out of the ocean that day. The cocktails are yummy, too, although my favorite thing to drink there is the loose leaf tea. Go support Jordan- Mr. Tuna is epic!

    The fish was fresh. The staff was nice. We tried the Otoro / tuna sampler. Various cuts was provided. The lean tuna was clean and fresh. The cooked tuna was flavorful. There was a cut that had a lot of tendons that probably shouldve been discarded or cut into smaller pieces. Very chewy

    My husband and I were very underwhelmed with the sushi. We purchased three different types hoping we'd at least like one. We thought all three were mediocre if that. The flavors of each order did not mesh well together, nor did the ingredients taste as high quality as we've had other places. The tequila cocktail (Mrs. Tuna), that I ordered was delicious! The server answered all of my questions about the cocktails to help me find one that wasn't too sweet or too dry (I'm finicky on my cocktails). She was very helpful! There are two different patio sections and both are cute. I'd suggest coming here for a drink and perhaps going elsewhere for food.

    Curried green crab rolls (special)
    Daniel G.

    Fresh seafood like all restaurants in Portland and interesting dishes. Fun atmosphere and it doesn't feel like you need to dress up for dinner. Service was good and here's what we had: - tuna de tigre: really good and the coconut milk was an interesting touch. The flavor was not what we expected, but in a good way - kale salad: very good. Glad we got this to add some veggies to the meal - salmon toro: nothing spectacular, but still tasted great - special (curried green crab rolls): was looking forward to this but a bit disappointed. I don't think curry is great with sushi rolls - Mr tuna burrito: in my mind this was going to be a burrito with a tortilla, but to my surprise it was basically a giant sushi roll. Unique and tasted great

    Salmon maki
    Sarah C.

    Review for take out only. After seeing the restaurant, I wished I dined in instead. The place is intimate and cozy. Next time for sure! Called in for salmon maki and the order was ready in 10 mins. Beautifully packed, fresh and generous portion of salmon. Would like more vinegar in the rice but that's my preference.

    I really toiled with this review. I wanted to be big in Mr. Tuna going into the experience - a lot of folks that I know are really into it. I enjoy the handrolls from their food truck! We rolled in and got a seat right away, which was awesome. The staff were friendly and helpful! As for the food - I'll start with the food stuff. The Tuna de Tigre was REALLY good!! And the ice cream toastie, which had been highly recommended, was very good and unique! As for the disappointing - my main complaint was with the sushi rolls... I was bothered that the sushi was essentially standard roll, one that I can get at other sushi restaurants, with a squirt of a sauce for an extra like 5 or 6 dollars. I always very disappointed with the tuna nachos. They sounded and looked appealing but lacked anything that really made me want to order them again. All in all, I liked it - but it left something to be desired in my opinion. I think going forward, Mr. Tuna will be reserved for Tuna de Tigre and Ice Cream Toasties (and the Handrolls form their food trucks at concerts and festivals)!

    Seared salmon teriyaki burrito
    Clare C.

    I love sushi so I was happy to try this place for dinner on a Sunday evening. We were able to get street parking a couple streets away. They were able to seat 4 of us immediately without a reservation around 8:20 on a Sunday evening. Inside is cute and a decent amount of seating. Workers are all very kind. The menu has a variety of different told and fish. I ordered the spicy tuna maki roll and seared salmon teriyaki burrito. I loved both of them. Fish tasted fresh and ingredients were delicious. Prices for sushi were very average about $35 for both plus tip. So a little more on the expensive end but normal for sushi I would say. Yum!

    Unique and creative sushi place. I've never tasted salmon this thick before. Extensive menu that is a little more complicated than it needs to be. Pretty expensive too, even for very tasty sushi.

    Mrs Tuna cocktail
    Denver C.

    This was a really great lunch spot on a sunny Saturday in Portland. I was able to score some happy hour deals from 11-12 and opted for the Mrs Tuna cocktail with was delicious and super fun. I think the wine selections are also great prices without having a happy hour price tag so i went for a nice white to pair with my rolls. It was hard deciding which maki rolls to get, everything sounded amazing and the servers were great with answering any questions. I ended up going with the halibut, salmon teriyaki, and tuna mango. i wanted to try a variety and i think the prices are great for the quality and fun options you can get. The rolls are a great size so one person can definitely eat 3 of the regular size maki's like i did. I really like the bar seating so i could watch the magic happen while i relaxed and ate my rolls. I'm usually not a soy sauce person but there's is phenomenal and i'm not sure how they are doing that! It was cool to see Mr Tuna (the chef who started this place) behind the bar at noontime working! I always think that goes to show how passionate this place is with great leadership. Everything was so fresh and tasty. To end the server told me about the special toastie they had and i knew i had to try it. This was sourdough ice cream with a maple pecan crumble and wow!!!!!! I can't believe i almost skipped dessert here because that would have been a huge regret. It was so good with the crunchy sweet hawaiian roll and then the cold ice cream inside. I definitely recommend getting whatever special they have that day since it seems to be a fun spin on there original toasty. I actually can't wait to come back and try some other rolls, as it seems like they are always keeping up with what's fresh and what the chef wants to be creative with!

    We've been waiting to try this for a while now. Finally we got to give it a try. Cute spit, and easy to find. Parking can be challenging but not bad Food quality is top notch, albeit a bit pricey but taste, service and friendliness make up for it.

    Mr. Tuna special roll
    Rachel Alexandra M.

    This place was pretty cool vibes, while still feeling clean. The tuna was GAS. I would say definitely get the Mr.Tuna special maki roll and get the tuna tigre so good. If you need some tasty nutrition, definitely get the kale salad and seaweed salad. We also go the Maine crab maki roll and it was mid. Perhaps Maryland crabs are better! Everyone was so nice.

The braised and crisped pork belly (Buta No Kakuni) here was some of the best I have ever had. One of those "Holy sh*t" bites where you have to put your head down to process what just assaulted your taste buds. Perfectly rendered fat, good meat to fat ratio, super crisp outer exterior but not too much where it gets tough, the caramelized soy glaze to top it all off.. It was just so good. Also, getting a bite with the kewpie, pickled onion, and pork belly all in one shot is chefs kiss. It doesn't even need all the supporting characters, but it makes it that much better. Slightly overshadowed by the pork, I also got an onigiri. It was filled with chicken and chives. Overall I thought the onigiri was decent. Chicken and chive wouldn't be my top filling but it was tasty nonetheless and still worth trying! I like that they griddle it slightly to help it hold its structure instead of using a piece of nori. Its a pretty relaxing feel inside the place. Staff was also attentive and pleasant. We set in the back, up a few steps right underneath an awesome Totoro poster- iykyk.

Gofres are these smaller, sweeter, denser waffles that taste delicious with either a drizzle of caramel OR a drizzle of vanilla icing (like what you get on top of cinnamon rolls). I had gofres every day walking to Parque Marítimo. I haven't had ANYTHING like it since coming back to the States, and that's been over a decade now. Segue... The Marshmallow Cart is just fun. Good, old fashioned, fun. It's good for kids. It's good for drunken twenty-somethings outside of Fore Street bars. It's good for tourists. It's good for those of us with a sweet tooth who need a fix but don't want to spend a lot of money. And it's good for those of us who like the idea of s'mores, but maybe don't want to purchase all the ingredients to make them ourselves, because... let's face it... there's always half a box of graham crackers leftover (and seriously, what does anyone ever do with those?). It's run by a staff of fun-loving folks. And they've got fire. So, basically, it appeals perfectly to most people's inner child. There's only two things that prevent me from giving The Marshmallow Cart full marks: 1. Marshmallows are typically made with gelatin. Gelatin is typically made from animal by-products (think bones, skin, and tendons). I don't know (but would update this in a heartbeat if I did) if The Marshmallow Cart makes their marshmallow's with gelatin or if they're vegetarian-friendly and use guar gum, agar agar, or pectin. That being said, as a vegetarian, I'm not exactly rushing to get back here for this particular product. 2. THE WAFFLES ARE DELICIOUS. They sooooooo remind me of my Spanish gofres, but... The Marshmallow Cart doesn't have icing for them. I think the only options are marshmallow or nutella. Allow me a Veruca Salt moment, if you will: I WANT ICING. AND I WANT IT NOW. I would come out of my way for this if it was available. Maybe I should just start carrying my own bottle of it around in my purse? The point... if you like marshmallows (and don't have a plant-based diet), s'mores, waffles (sans icing), fire, and smiling... The Marshmallow Cart will not disappoint.

My friend had a salad to start, that had a lot of different flavors to it -- a mix of fruit and greens and fennel and... and... For my taste, it was a little too-too. But it was fresh as everything else we had was. Server was super nice and accommodating - we chose to sit outside, and it started raining.

Technically it's a food truck with a giant outdoor seating area, but the bar is the highlight. With Truly on tap in addition to frozen cocktails, this is more a drinking venue than eating. The crowd was upscale 20's and 30's, basically replacing Blyth & Burrow as the place to be seen. There is no better outdoor drinking venue in Portland at this time, though after further visits here, it's a bit of a free-for-all and not the most Covid friendly. At least it's entirely outdoors. So why four stars? The food didn't wow me. You're paying for the view, basically. While the chickpea fries were good, an order of maybe eight of them for $17 was not. It's an average, pricey menu.

The problem is the complete lack of organization or anyone in charge. At least on our visit on a weeknight, it was a free-for-all. I'm not one to dole out advice on here, as there are usually extenuating circumstances and I figure they know best, and likewise during this pandemic, I place just as much blame on customers not being very bright. So, a simple change: They need a host. There was a lady sort of doing that, but all she really was doing was making sure people were wearing masks (better than nothing!). After that, it's seat yourself with no guidance, so lots of picnic tables with 1 person sitting there (we stood at a barrel for lack of seats), and probably worst of all, the bar stool seating facing the water was totally unregulated. You have to space that out or give patrons some clear restrictions. People were just sitting down right next to other strangers with zero distance which just doesn't fly for me these days. Get a host, have them take names and phone numbers, and have them seat people. Maybe they do that on weekends, or at least I hope so. Beyond that the bartender was super nice, but with how interesting the food is, hoped for a little more on cocktails and beer selection. We had planned on dinner but ended up staying for one drink, one snack and getting the hell out of there. I get the laid-back, marina vibe they're going for but in these times is way too laid-back, i.e. sketch. Maybe we'll give it another try in the fall when there's less people around.
