Sure, I can find Tuna sashimi, but what about Tuna sushi? Or even seared tuna?
It’s so popular in America (spicy tuna) and I’ve been craving it here.
I live in Northern Taipei, but would travel to Southern Taipei.
While you’re here, as a sub topic, any good fusion sushi recommendations?
You want to desecrate good fish?
I’m confused. Every sushi restaurant has tuna sushi. Even budget places like Sushi Express NT$30 per plate of 2.
Maybe you’re talking about spicy tuna “rolls” like California rolls? Which requires a little bit more effort to find.
I think you’re thinking of sashimi. I’ve seen tons of tuna sashimi. Just a boring (IMO) slab of raw fish. While specifically spicy tuna would earn bonus points on a find, just looking for plain ol Tuna sushi.
Are you sure Sushi Express has it? I’m not saying you’re wrong - I’m questioning my own memory haha.
If you could provide pictures of what you are after that would help. As has already been posted seared tuna is readily available. Tuna rolls not so much.
Sushi Express definitely does, and pretty much any restaurant that has sushi, I guess. It must be the single most popular type of sushi. I can’t see why there would be any confusion about this, but I mean:
You think I’m thinking of sashimi? I think you are thinking of something else totally.
Tuna sashimi is fish, tuna sushi is fish on top of rice. Any place that has tuna sashimi, will have tuna sushi, unless they are not a sushi restaurant and are just throwing raw fish out for some reason. Seared tuna is available at decent sushi or Japanese restaurants.
Which one of these 2 tuna are you looking for? Spicy tuna is usually neither of these, it is usually a roll or maki or something similar.
You call that Tuna Sushi? That’s not Tuna Sushi!
This is Tuna Sushi:
This is the place you want: NCI Sushi. NCI stands for Northern California Inspired. They’ve got seared tuna, decadent rolls, everything. Check out their menu. They’re a little pricey, but it’s worth it if that’s what you’re craving.

This is a nice little list of sushi places in Taipei.
Not that you’d really need a list cause they are all over the place.

Seconding this. North American style sushi is pretty unusual in Taipei - by which I mean all the mashed together rolls with a big mix of ingredients. I’ve been to a couple of other places that have since closed, and NCI Sushi is the only remaining place I know of that has a big range of those sorts of sushi rolls.
I guess that “seared tuna sushi” is one of those rolls, like dynamite rolls and California rolls and whatever else.

If you’re in south, you can come try my sushi as well!
No that’s called nigiri (sushi).
Interesting
That two. And some people just call it yuck.
Yuck is something else.
Not that much.
What happened to the OP dylanh724?
Did you tire of the tuna sushi search?
Indeed. I’d like a bit more explanation of what she/he was talking about.
I don’t mind in the North, but I strongly disrecommend both Sushi Express (not fresh) and one restaurant that skinned me for NTD750 and still left me hungry. I did know the prices, but my stomach was emptier than my wallet.
