A piquant theme runs through much of the menu at Spicy Tuna. The kung pao chicken, naturally, showcases the heat: its peanuts are stir-fried with mixed veggies and spicy brown sauce before coating freshly steamed heaps of in white rice. But the kitchen staff doesn't simply fixate on making hot dishes; chefs craft mild-yet-savory Asian favorites, ranging from lobster tail and prawns bathed in oyster sauce to the tonkatsu's beer-battered pork cutlets. Their carefully curated sushi menu also introduces mouths to ocean-fresh bites of nigiri and sashimi. This commitment to a diverse menu is part of what helped earn the restaurant honors as Toledo's best sushi restaurant in the Best of Toledo 2012 survey held by the Toledo City Paper.

No matter what they order, patrons frequently slake their thirsts with sake and imported Asian beers. During warm-weather months, many meals unfold on the restaurant's open-air patio; however, no matter the season, a fully stocked game room remains open to lure patrons inside.
