You will be surprised when you walk in. The place is very ample and trendy. Perfect for a date. Chris was excellent, great service. The gyoza and veg rolls were good. The veg rolls portion is a bit small. The fried rice is very good and big portion. The sushi was delicious. I will be back. My daughter order plain lo mein and it was also good.

I absolutely enjoyed this place! Fun atmosphere and very good food. Definitely a “club” or eclectic vibe with bars and lights! Had the pleasure of being served by Christina who was a wonderful waitress and had great recommendations! I had the Dreamy Salmon roll but also tried the Hot Tuna roll. Both were amazing. Would recommend!

My husband and I visited for a date night and we weren’t disappointed. I had booked a table for the dining room and they originally seated us way back against the wall in the bar area. I asked if we could be moved to the center dining room and they accommodated us immediately. The manager was professional and really knew what she was doing. Everything we had to eat was delicious. We had the chicken lettuce wrap as a starter. The starter came out quickly and was very tasty. The main flavor was from the peanut sauce. I would’ve loved for there to have been some ground basil or maybe just a hint of spiciness, but it was still delicious. Next, I had the Super Philly roll, which was the best thing we ate! My entrée was the chicken fried rice. The vegetables were cooked perfectly al dente and the dish was fresh and hot. I just wish it had had a little more kick. I guess I wanted everything to be spicier. My husband got the lamb meatballs with curry sauce and rice. The plating was gorgeous, but he wished there was much more sauce on the plate as that’s where the flavor was. I’m excited to come back and try more of their sushi as well as the steak. Our server was excellent. The place was really busy on a Friday night. Our reservation was for six and we were served our food and we’re signing the check at 6:45! Way to hustle in the kitchen!

Wow, what a fantastic addition to Harrisburg! We went for the first time last night and the atmosphere, service, food, and overall vibe was IT! They even made me a mocktail since I'm expecting and it was delicious. We will definitely be back, our experience was incredible The Harrisburg roll was my favorite

Really glad to have a tasty, nice restaurant in the Harrisburg area! I will say that the dumplings were average. I would skip those. But the Thai meatballs were absolutely the bomb! The chicken was solid as well. Cocktails were on point. Overall we enjoyed the experience and would return.

Hot Tuna Wok & Roll Bar, the beautifully decorated new Asian Fusion restaurant in Harrisburg, NC, offers a variety of Asian -inspired dishes, ranging from wok dishes to assorted sushi. We are long-time sushi lovers and Hot Tuna passed the freshness test with delicious gyoza, miso soup, a variety of sashimi, and shrimp tempura rolls accompanied by cups of lychee/lime and mango/cardamom green teas. The service (from hostess Ashlee to server Brooke) and plate presentation were great. However, we also wanted to try some of signature rolls, but nearly everything had some kind of spicy fish or spicy sauce in it and dietary restrictions prevented us from trying those (need more variety there that ease up on the jalapeno and chili sauce!). Down the road, we'd like to see the addition of shumai appetizer along with the delicious gyoza, and bento boxes and chirashi bowls and/or specials that include miso soup and house salad with traditional ginger dressing in the price - and "mocktails" versions of the exotic drinks for those of us who don't imbibe alcohol. Hot Tuna is still going through growing pains, and tweaking the menu, and will be adding desserts from soon-to-be- opened sister store Sugar Street next door that we were told would include homemade ice cream and cheesecakes. We hope that the owners' investment pays off, that they listen to customer feedback, and that they become a favorite choice for finer food in a town riddled with fast-food chains. Hot Tuna Wok & Roll Bar is a very welcome addition.
