Phenomenal! I've been looking for this recipe for a while. This is the closest one I have found thus far-- it's like going to the Safeway deli in Kailua and picking it up! - 27 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Excellent fresh flavor. Didn't have the seaweed so I crumbled up a little nori instead. The tuna is easier to dice if you partially freeze it first. I put in a little wasabi as well. - 03 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Really good recipe, but I just nixed the nuts and just served as is not in lettuce cups. - 07 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
