What Is Spicy Tuna Roll?
The Benihana Spicy Tuna Roll takes sushi-grade tuna, chops it fine and folds it through a spicy mayonnaise made with chili sauce, then rolls it with crisp cucumber in seasoned rice and nori. The result is creamy, cool and fiery all at once — the heat builds gently instead of overwhelming the delicate tuna flavor.
It is served as eight pieces with ginger and wasabi. Regulars often order it alongside a California Roll to balance mild and spicy, and it is a popular base for the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice appetizer variation. If you like heat, this is the roll to beat on the Benihana menu.
