    It's always such an amazing time going to Tuna Kahuna for their Chef's Table available on Fridays and Saturdays. They have super fresh fish, and the photos just speak for themselves.... Look at it glisten!! Though pricy, the Kahuna donburi is a loaded bowl with the best cuts of fish which I highly recommend. Even the lean akami is super succulent and delicious! It comes with nori on the side so you can wrap your own roll. We always like balancing the meal with a yuzu salmon/hamachi bowl, which helps cut the fattiness of the fish with the yuzu seasoning. I love that it's a family owned business, and you can tell the owner, Clarence, has a lot of passion for his craft. I'll be a repeat customer until I die. Tuna Kahuna forever!

    Ginger Scallion Bowl
    Stephanie L.

    We stopped by Tuna Kahuna on a Saturday around noon to pick up lunch. I was impressed by how quickly they got our order out. We ordered the Ginger Scallion Bowl and the Yuzu Salmon Hamachi Bowl. The fish tasted fresh, the portion sizes were solid, and neither bowl felt overly heavy, which made for a really satisfying lunch. Of the two, I preferred the Yuzu Salmon Hamachi Bowl. Both were good, but the ginger flavor in the Ginger Scallion Bowl was a little overpowering for me. I wished there were a couple more ingredients to help balance everything out. It was still enjoyable, but felt like it was missing a little something to bring it all together. Overall, Tuna Kahuna is a good spot for a fresh poke bowl. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other options.

    Nothing too special or crazy but all the workers were super friendly and we got our food pretty quickly.

    Spicy Chili Garlic- so good, the cured egg is a must!
    Ashley W.

    This place has been on my list for several years and I'm so glad we finally got to go! Got the spicy chili garlic pole bowl. The fish is super fresh and the cured egg was delicious. It added that extra depth of umami that took the dish to the next level. The service was amazing, we sat at the bar and saw a lot of regulars come in. It's clear why there are so many regulars. The food is great and Quan and his kids are the best. They are so kind and made our experience dining at Tuna Kahuna so much better. I would 100% come back and bring friends. It's a great spot to go to and made for a memorable Friday night.

    The ambiance is like a lounge/bar feeling. They serve alcohol and the staff are friendly and you can socialize with them. Sienna is my favorite! the raw fish is the freshest quality I've had at any poke place and the yuzu is the bomb! Hands down, a place I bring my out of town friends to show off the neighborhood.

    I will definitely come back here again, this is a great poke store in downtown Burlingame that deserves its success. I ordered a bowl with kahuna white rice, salmon, edamame, corn, seaweed salad, shredded nori, sesame seeds, and furikake. Each of these came with a heaping portion and was so delicious! The quality of the fish here is excellent, you could do without sauces and let the flavor profile of the salmon shine on its own. After mixing my bowl up, it tasted so delicious and so fresh! Each bite had its own unique texture.

    Ginger scallion bowl
    Laura L.

    Super fresh fish that is high quality. They have more unique toppings compared to other poke shops such as the cured egg. Really enjoyed the ginger scallion bowl. I've tried their customizable bowls before but I feel like their pre made bowls have a good balance of ingredients already so have been pretty happy opting for those.

    Stopped into tuna kahuna for a quick lunch. There's is seating inside and a couple tables outside. They also have a bar with I believe wine and beer. The bowl was yummy. I ended up getting the house tuna then the spicy tuna and both were really good! My bowl was made super quick and the workers were friendly.

    Yuzu 1/2 Salmon 1/2 Hamachi

    Wow! What's a great poke place! Came here for first time and had a pleasant experience. Ordered the yuzu salmon and hamachi bowl and I really enjoyed this dish. The salmon and hamachi were fresh and light! Not fishey or gamey at all. The rice was also made fresh and paired so well with everything else! The service was great! As someone with food allergies, I was really impressed with the service. The staff were incredibly friendly and took my allergies seriously, double-checking everything to ensure my meal was safe. That extra care gave me a real sense of trust. Highly recommend for the fresh food and the peace of mind! I love the location and I'm glad to find a great spot here!

    Sake tasting event in collaboration with Sakeman
    Raymond N.

    Tuna Kahuna had a special sake tasting event in collaboration with Sakeman. Since I was already in the area and early for my dinner plans, I decided to stop by for a quick bit. The inside of the restaurant has a few tables for dining in and quite a few seats at the bar area with TVs directly above the bar, making this a great destination to grab some drinks and food after work. During the sake tasting I tried five different types of sake. Sakeman did a thorough job of describing each sake upon pouring and suggesting what types of food would pair great with each one. Since I am not a regular sake drinker, it was nice to be able to really taste the differences in each. For the fifth and final pour, this bottle was kept in the fridge and was recommended to try both cold and at room temperature (after warming up a bit) and it was surprising to notice the differences in taste. I really enjoyed the sake tasting event at Tuna Kahuna. It was also nice meeting the owner of the restaurant and getting to chat with him a bit. With the exceptional service and overall vibe of Tuna Kahuna, I regret not ordering a poke bowl during this visit since it would've tasted much better than the food I had at my preplanned dinner a block away!

    Tuna Kahuna is a fresh poke spot that totally delivered on a quick, flavorful lunch. I went with the staff's recommendation of the Yuzu Salmon and Hamachi Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was super fresh, all the ingredients complemented each other beautifully, and both the togarashi nori and yuzu truffle sauce added such a rich, umami punch. I also learned they host special dinners from time to time, so I'm definitely looking forward to returning for more of their lunch options and those events soon. Highly recommend!

    Tuna Kahuna is hole in the wall poke shop in Burlingame. You can easily miss the restaurant if you walk by. There are only a few tables to sit but you can always enjoy your food via takeout or at the bar table. The poke here is very solid. We ordered the Spicy Chili Garlic Bowl and the Salmon Lover Bowl. The Spicy Chili Garlic came with hamachi and tuna and was not super spicy, just a kick. The Salmon Lover bowl came with of course salmon and edamame and more veggies. The fish tasted fresh and the dressings complimented the bowls. Decent serving of fish with each bowl. Definitely worth trying if you are in the area and want to try poke.

    Yum!! Stopped by here because I was craving sushi for lunch and I was in the area. There are fish is extremely fresh and I really love how big the portions are. I got the spicy chili crunch and it had good flavor. It is definitely on the pricier side as I paid almost $25 for a signature bowl, but it can easily feed two meals so it felt worth it lol Would definitely come back if I'm in the area!

    Do they have table dine in service? I only see pictures of to go bowls...

    Yes, they have tables and even a bar that you can eat at! It's just the packaging and ordering process will be the same as the to-go orders.

    Approximately $85/box but price may vary depending on type of sushi and sashimi are included. Get 1 box and try if it's enough to share for 2x people. It's definitely worth it so enjoy it!
