No plain version here: spicy tuna, cucumber and avocado go under tempura crunch, unagi sauce and spicy mayo.

#4

Spicy Tuna Maki

Truya Sushi · Santa Clara

$10.00
5.3 Forkelo score Early ranking

2 dish-specific mentions · 0% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • chopped tuna
  • ordered repeatedly

Sold as maki rather than roll: chopped spicy tuna in rice and nori. Regulars order it, though it is not the roll they come back for.

#5

Spicy Tuna Roll

Happy Sushi · Santa Clara

$8.00
5.3 Forkelo score Early ranking

2 dish-specific mentions · 0% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • chopped tuna

The straightforward version: chopped spicy tuna rolled in rice and nori, sold under its own name rather than folded into a combination.

#6
5.3 Forkelo score Early ranking

2 dish-specific mentions · 0% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • chopped tuna
  • cucumber
  • eight pieces

The raw one: chopped spicy tuna and cucumber, eight pieces off the makimono list. A deep-fried roll shares the name, so it is worth saying which you want.

How this ranking works.

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 early ranking 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.
