Best

Thank you City Search for pointing me to TunaTown! You cant go wrong with their Sushi. The Young Blood, Crouching Tiger and the Salmon Amazing... My Girl Friend had the Kobe Burge...

Worst

This place is ok, nothing special. I recommend going on a slow night unless you enjoy waiting forever for the food to arrive. The food is good, it just takes way too long usually,...

Horrible service & rude management 1/21/2008

Our party of 5 sat down and waited 10 min to place our drink orders. It took 2hrs for all of our food to be served! I had to request my water be refilled 3 separate x. We flagged a bus boy to request a beer, as our waitress was sitting at the table behind us flirting with 3 men for 15 min (we timed her). The bus boy had to tap her on the shoulder to order another round of drinks for us. Our food slowly came out over the course of 2 hrs. Not one person at our table received their food at the same time; we had to eat separately as the evening progressed. After an hour and a half we stopped the waitress who was now conversing with bar guests and informed her that we had not received our salmon sushi or crunchy roll and she said she would check on our food however she thought they were out of the salmon requested. It would have been nice if she had told us! 15 min later the missing food items were served. We spoke to the manger who is a previous food server at the restaurant to complain and he said that he highly doubted that we had been seated for 2 hs and laughed at us! He then went on to excuse the waitress?s actions by saying that she had been visiting with friends she had not seen in a long time? as if we cared or that as guests we should be expected to wait for her to decide to help us! To top everything off the waitress tried to add a 20% tip to our bill. 3 members of my party waited tables for 8 yrs we could not imagine ever providing such horrible service and still expecting any tip at all much less adding 20% to the bill. Needless to say we did not leave any gratuity and the manager had the nerve to chase us outside and ask us if we felt bad stiffing our waitress on a $200 plus bill. We had to point out that tip means to insure prompt service and we received no service. Over the last 3 years the service at Tuna Town has been going down hill and the owner and management either do not care or have not noticed that there customers are disappointed. Pros: Good Music Cons: Can not speak to people at your table because the music is too loud more

What happend to the Management? 9/7/2007

I haven't been to Tuna Town for over 2 years as I was deployed to Iraq, I come home for some good sushi and I waited 45 MINUTES longer than my quoted time which was 20 minutes just to sit down. That right there is poor management. You have to understand the flow of your operation. Imagine if I was told I would be only be deployed for 18 months and I end up staying there 2.5 years, oh wait that did happen to me. Pros: Trendy Spot, owned by Korn's Drugger Dave Silveria Cons: Poor Management, Horrible wait time on food, and I saw a rattrap more

A good place if only it was run well 8/25/2007

We have done the tepenyaki twice. The cook was great and personable but that was where the service began and ended. Both times we were set and reserved for a seeting, the first time they sat us an hour late and provided horrible service. Stupid us decided to give them a second shot, this time only a half hour late and service was twice as bad. Rarely saw out waitress, the non grill food was not delivered until the dinner and show was over. We called over the General manager to complain, but she just does not get it. She is clearly not capable of handeling a restaurant like this, instead of hiring friends a restaurant manager is probably the way to go. Wont do dinner again, at least while she is managing, which is sad because I love Tepenyaki and the place is walking distance to my house. Pros: Tepenyaki Cons: Poorly Managed more

unique sushi, amazing wine, cool jellyfish tank! 8/22/2007

I love this place! They have some of the most interesting and unusual sushi combinations I've ever had. I feel that it is much more creative than traditional sushi. I also had a really amazing glass of red wine. The music is too loud, but the food is such a sensual experience that I can overlook it. The jellyfish tank is trippy. It is like a live lava lamp or something. Pros: Yummy Cons: Too loud more

well...it's a good date or partying place..the food, no way. 6/24/2007

I'll get right down to it. Look for a sushi chef's diploma anywhere...nope, you wont find one. The sushi is edible, at best. Who the heck is this guy preparing raw fish for me? How many years did he apprentice? At least cooking school for 2 years? Nope...it's a dude who is a friend of someone. I don't trust him to closely inspect raw flesh for tiny living creatures...and you shouldn't either. more

AMAZING 5/22/2007

The woman below me was completely rude to the managers of the restaurant. She even went as far as calling one of them a b**** to her face when the manager had walked over and had been completely sweet to them. She and her boyfriend were rude to the hostess who has only worked at the restaurant for a few weeks and had no way of resolving the woman's problem. They stood at the front yelling at the young girl. EVERY PLACE MAKES A MISTAKE ONCE IN AWHILE! Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: NOTHING more

TUNA TOWN NIGHTMARE 5/17/2007

We went to Tuna Town last Friday night. We were seated quickly and ordered shorly after that. Our food came in spurts thur the evening and in random order main courses were coming out before appitizers. It took for ever to get our drinks and only 1 water came for a table of 4. The table was not cleared until the end of the night despite our efforts to keep stacking the empty dishes on top of each other. When the bill came we decided to split the bill between 2 of us. Thats when the night mare started. My bill total was 109.55 with tip and they charged my account 114.66. They also added an authoraztion for 114.55 that sat on my account for 3 day bouncing my checks and addind NSF fees to my account When I returned to speak to the bar manager she was RUDE and more concerend with flirting than helping me clear up my billing issue I returned the following day still rude the owner had to get involved and she was unhelpful and a little rude It was finally resolved when they called in the general manager on his day off He quickly resolved my issue and was the only one to appologize He was great! Service avarage Manager HORRIBLE Food great but not worth being treated bad VERY DISAPOINTED WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING IT OUR NEW LOCAL HANG OUT NOW WE WILL NEVER GO BACK AND WILL TELL EVERONE OUR NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE!!!! To bad its a cool place with horrible service Pay cash stay clear of the BAR MANAGER Pros: great food GREAT GENERAL MANAGER Cons: HORRIBLE SERVICE RUDE BAR MANAGER more

Incredibly FUN! 3/26/2007

After reading everyone else's review, I was shocked. I had a completely different experience. Although we sat waiting for a table (which was taken care of when we asked how much longer we'd have to wait) it was such a fun place to hang out. The California Roll was the freshest I have ever tasted and I had an A.M.F. Let me say that they are VERY GENEROUS with the amount of alcohol that they put in their drinks! I'm not sure if I caught everyone on a good night, but I had such a good time. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun and lively and the drinks were........FANTASTIC!!! I would DEFINITELY go back!!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Pros: GREAT SUSHI, GREAT DRINKS, GREAT WAITSTAFF!!! Cons: A slight wait for a table when it didnt look busy. more

Great Atmosphere 3/7/2007

The food is a little pricy, but this is defiantly a fun place to go out with friends. The bar is always busy on the weekends, but then again so are all the bars on Main Street. It?s atmosphere is also perfect for a romantic date so save up and give it a try! Cons: The meters in Hunington run till midnight so look for parking on a residential street more

Great Atmosphere if your single, Mediocre Food 3/4/2007

Hip atmosphere, good drinks. Hard to get a seat if Weekend in Summer. Sushi is not very good, and certainly not worth the price. If you want a place to get noticed, or people watch, this is the place in Huntington Beach - If you want good Sushi, go elsewhere. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Loud - hard to have conversation. Not very good sushi. more

tuna town is all about the atmosphere 7/5/2006

Tuna town is all about the atmosphere. It's owned by the drummer of Korn, who dines there occasionaly...so does Tito Ortiz. If you want to occasionally see celebs then you have a better chance at tuna town then many other sushi bars, but Its always full of drunk trendy downtown scene-sters that stop to eat/drink there while bar hopping downtown HB. If your looking for great sushi this isnt the place for you. Everytime I order sushi rolls there they fall apart, like they were made by amatures. The quality of the fish isnt bad, but it isnt good either...this is not a romantic place to take a date, this is the kinda place you go eat at before you drive to Ozzfest. Mostly young people eat here, some of their signature drinks include the ""blue b*lls martini"" etc. . The platinum records and posters of different bands on the wall remind you of the inside of a recording studio rather than a restaurant. I myself like the LOUD rock/hiphop music they blast, the decor, the attractive young crowd etc. I have yet to try their tepan yaki (sp?) Ive heard from several of my friends that the service is bad, but there are a few waiters that have been working there for several years that are pretty good. This isnt a place Id take my parents to. Pros: fun and trendy atmosphere for a sushi restaurant Cons: service and food are below average more

Meh 3/19/2006

This place has a trendy atmosphere filled with young, outgoing people. If you are simply a sushi enthusiast, just looking for good sushi eat, this isn't the place for you. The food is way overpriced and the service sucked. more

What service? 2/18/2006

My husband and I were very excited to try this trendy sushi restaurant. To our surprise, it was the worst service and value we've experienced. First, our $5 shrimp and calamari appetizer was literally only one piece of each inside a small plate. After this insult to our appetites, waiting a total of 45 minutes from being seated to get our sushi wasn't pleasing. A kind word to the manager only resulted in a response that this was a ""normal"" wait for a weekend crowd. We find this disappointing, being that the place was only at 1/4 capacity when we were seated. Needless to say, we won't return. Cons: poor service more

Good Food 12/15/2005

The food was really great, I ordered the halibut and it was fabulous. I also ordered some sushi sashimi and that was also fabulous! The cook at our grill was really cool and funny and wanted to make sure we had a great time! Unfortunately, the wait stuff wasn't very great...we received food that wasn't ours, we ordered an appetizer and actually didn't receive it until we were done with dinner...sad, then we didn't eat it cuz we were full. And it took forever to order a drink. I think it's time for the management to hire a new wait staff... Other than that, I thought it was a great, trendy place. Oh, if you like it quiet while you dine, do not go here, it's loud! I love it. Pros: sushi, wine, Teppan Yaki Grill Cons: wait staff more

Tasty food, bizarre service 8/24/2005

We ordered two appetizers and two entrees, none of them sushi. Of those four dishes, three arrived (late and simultaneously!) and they were yummy. I'd recommend the stuffed mushrooms to anyone. The cocktails were on the wimpy side, unfortunately we never had an opportunity to order more beverages and our water was never refilled. The waitress in general had no clue what she was doing. Food all arrived at the same time, plates were clumsily offloaded on the corner of the table, and despite asking 3 times what we ordered she forgot one dish. Throw in the lack of beverage service and you have a ruined meal. more

  • In Short
    Opened by Korn drummer David Silveria, the restaurant's claim of being a rock-and-roll sushi bar is accurate. The dark-red memorabilia-filled walls, low lighting, mud flap-worthy...
