Summary
The beer and wine license kicks in on Monday, Aug. 13, so it's been an extrasoft opening at Pink Tuna. In all fairness, I got a perfectly good buzz from the green tea. Diners can anticipate bottles of cold sake ($10.95), glasses of hot sake ($3.95-$5.95), and fruit-flavored sakes by the glass or bottle. A few quality sakes exist that are meant to be served slightly warm, but in general, good sake should be served slightly chilled (not cold). Mondavi wines and Dom Perignon or Cristal champagne will also be available.
Pink Tuna's menu consists primarily of maki (rolls). In addition to maki, sushi, and sashimi, there are about eight hot entrees, including charbroiled salmon, filet mignon, ahi tuna, teriyaki chicken, and even a cheeseburger and fries ($8.95-$24.95). Lovely bento boxes give diners a choice of two main items to accompany a California roll, salad, miso soup and rice ($19.95).The maki I recommend are: the Presto Roll ($7.95), in which hamachi flirts with the flavors of fresh garlic, basil and macadamia nuts; the Landshark ($9.95)-the only two-fish roll I tried and a lesson in maintaining an open mind-with grilled hamachi, unagi, avocado, lemon, macadamia nuts and shiso leaf; the Spicy Tuna Long Roll ($6.95), which has ahi tuna, green onion, cucumber, togarashi (a spice blend), tobiko and Pink's house sauce; and the Pink Cadillac ($7.95), grilled hamachi, avocado and macadamia nuts, wrapped in soy paper with mango basil cream sauce.See the full content of this document
