Tuna Town - Huntington Beach

Tuna Town is a sushi bar and teppanyaki grill, but we opted for their lunch menu along with some dollar mimosas, which were just what we needed. Our lunch was simple yet fantastic. I have to say it was hands down the best ham sandwich I've ever had! All the vegetables were fresh, and the mimosas were generous in size. At that moment, I seriously considered relocating. My friend and I shared the ham and cheese sandwich, which came on a French roll with a salad, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled ham, and a wonderfully spicy mayo. It was served with thin fries and a side of pickles. The bread was incredibly soft and fresh, and all the vegetables were crispy and refreshing. You can never go wrong with ham, cheese, or bacon, but I truly think it was the mayo that elevated this sandwich. I’m not sure what they put in it, but it had just the right kick and a remarkable flavor. I’ll definitely be revisiting this dish. Plus, it was affordable — a generous portion for just $8. My friend ordered a classic BLT, which looked amazing. He added avocado for just an extra fifty cents. It was fresh and loaded with veggies, served on whole grain bread alongside fries. At $6, that was an absolute steal. With the six mimosas adding another $6 to our bill, our total came to around $21. While I can’t speak for the sushi or other aspects of the restaurant, that ham and cheese sandwich was the best one I’ve had in a long time. I can see why others have noted the club-like atmosphere of the place; it seems to fit the California vibe. If someone asked me if Tuna Town is a good spot for lunch, I would definitely say yes!

Tuna City feels more like a lounge to enjoy cocktails with friends rather than a spot for a substantial sushi meal. The focus seems to be on the lively atmosphere and cocktail selection rather than the food. The sushi rolls were tasty, but eating was a challenge due to the loud music and dim lighting.
