The food and drinks at Tuna Bar are always delicious. Our server was friendly, efficient and helpful with suggestions for new rolls for us to try - the Rittenhouse and Broad Street, which were both great. Also enjoyed the Pork Gyoza and Wagyu Beef Spring Rolls. The Shiso Picante cocktail was a winner too. We sat outside, which was pleasant with a nice breeze. Can't wait to go back!

It's such a nice place and the food is so good. I wish it would come out a little slower so I could enjoy the experience longer!
