Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026
7 spicy tuna rolls across San Jose, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Fuji Sushi · Downtown San Jose
3 dish-specific mentions · 33% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Chopped sauced tuna and cucumber, rice out, cut into six. Sold on its own and as one of the picks inside the bento box.
Kakuna Sushi · San Jose
1 dish-specific mention · 0% positive · 1 source type · menu verified September 2026
A plain chopped-tuna cut roll on an East San Jose menu that leans hard on topped specialty rolls.
Sushi Pro · San Jose
1 dish-specific mention · 0% positive · 1 source type · menu verified September 2026
Spicy tuna and crisp cucumber rolled in rice and nori. The cut roll, not the hand roll the same kitchen sells beside it.
Trifecta · Silver Creek
2 dish-specific mentions · 0% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Chopped tuna with avocado, shiso and jalapeno, bound in spicy aioli and rolled rice out under sesame. A dressed-up take, priced to match.
Sumi Sushi · Downtown San Jose
2 dish-specific mentions · 0% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Six pieces of chopped tuna and diced cucumber, rice out, finished with a scatter of masago. Clean and undressed, the classic build.
Sushi Maru · Japantown
2 dish-specific mentions · 0% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Tuna drizzled with spicy sauce, and unusually just three pieces to an order. A side-plate portion rather than a full roll.

Sold as a spicy tekka roll: chopped tuna in rice and nori, eight pieces. The rolling can come out loose and the plating slapdash.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked limited data until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
