    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.

Sushi obviously isn't inexpensive, but compared to many places in Portland it's quite reasonably priced if you order non-speciality rolls. The eel avocado roll is especially good and I have also enjoyed the fatty tuna and yellowtail/scallion. I think what makes this place special though is that it appears the owner is heavily involved in the day-to-day operations. I believe he works as a sushi chef sometimes and I've also passed by late at night and seen him cleaning the glass on the front door. The waiters seem genuinely happy to be working there and seem to be friends with each other. They also seem to have strong intra-restaurant culture such as greeting people who walk in the door with the same greetings that I heard when I was in Japan and saying "corner" every time they're rounding a corner with food. The patio outside is delightful. There's a waterfall and the space has the feel of a Japanese tea garden. Really special place. It can feel a bit buzzy/sceney on the weekends, for better or worse. Definitely a special restaurant worth going to.

    My friends and I had a fabulous experience here. We started with the fried chicken (chicken…read morekaraage) which opened up our appetite for all the sushi we ate. Every sushi roll was fresh and packed with different fish. We loved the option to sit at the traditional Japanese tables on the floor, it reminded me of when in Japan. It took a bit of time for the sushi to come in, but we did order quite a bit (so worth it) They had a painting on the wall featuring the sushi chefs from 2020 and they told us that the same sushi chefs are still working here! It was very heart warming.

What caught my eye the chalkboard listing fish that one sees at high-end sushi restaurants. Fresh fish flown in from all over but not ignoring the amazing local farm to table items (or in this case, net to table). Our dishes were prepared expertly and amazingly good. I haven't had a Japanese dining experience like this since we were in New York. The wait staff are absolutely amazing. The ladies there were chatting with our kids, teaching and correcting their Japanese, and clearly tickled by the conversation. The decor is nicely subdued, but comfortable. This would be a great place for a first date, or to celebrate a nice event like a new job or an outing with someone special. Highly recommended.
