A 15-Course Tuna Feast Even Non-Tuna Lovers Will Enjoy
When selecting a location for a group meal, the food preferences of specific members become a crucial factor in the decision.
"Is it okay to accompany the group to a tuna specialty restaurant if I don't particularly enjoy raw fish or tuna?" This is a practical consideration that often arises during the selection process.
Goldtuna's dinner course is not structured to repeatedly serve only tuna sashimi. Along with tuna, we offer a diverse range of dishes, including grilled items, fried dishes, meat dishes, main meals, and desserts.
If you have a companion who does not prefer tuna, it is effective to check not only the amount of tuna provided but also what other types of food are served alongside it.
This is a scene of a family dining at Goldtuna. The table is set with a dedicated tuna tray along with grilled items, udon, various side menus, and desserts.
Understanding the Menu Composition of a Tuna Specialty Restaurant
While one might expect a meal focused solely on tuna sashimi served on large platters when visiting a tuna specialty restaurant, Goldtuna has designed a 15-course meal to prevent the dining experience from being biased toward a single ingredient.
This is the grilled mushrooms on a hot plate, the 4th side dish in Goldtuna's 15-course meal.
The dinner course includes cooked dishes, fried items, grilled items, and meal menus in addition to cold sashimi. Customers who love tuna can enjoy various cuts, while those who find a tuna-heavy meal overwhelming can choose to eat the other dishes served between the courses.
The core of the 15-course meal lies in the diversity of food types rather than just the number of items.
This is ankimo, the 8th side dish in Goldtuna's 15-course meal.

This structure differentiates itself from the method of repeatedly providing only tuna sashimi.
- In addition to menus using raw tuna such as sashimi and sushi, it includes cooked dishes such as grilled mushrooms, tteok-galbi, fried tuna, grilled mero, cream shrimp, and udon.
Elements that provide a change in taste and texture, such as ankimo, maki, and ice cream, are placed between the courses.
Therefore, it is designed so that tuna enthusiasts and members who prefer other dishes can dine together at the same table.
This is grilled mero, the 11th side dish in Goldtuna's 15-course meal.
Alternatives for Those Who Find It Difficult to Consume Raw Fish
If you simply do not prefer raw tuna, you can enjoy the various cooked dishes included in the course.
However, if there is someone who cannot consume raw tuna at all, it is necessary to inform us in advance when making a reservation.
This is cream shrimp, the 12th side dish in Goldtuna's 15-course meal.
Upon prior request, Goldtuna provides some menu substitutions with cooked dishes, such as tuna steak, within possible limits.
This does not mean an arbitrary change of all menus; since the composition may vary depending on the day's ingredient supply and kitchen conditions, it is most accurate to confirm during the reservation stage.

Reservation Checklist When Accompanying Someone Who Dislikes Tuna
Even if your companions have different food preferences, there are no restrictions on dining together. However, if there is someone who absolutely cannot consume raw tuna, sharing this information during the reservation rather than trying to coordinate after arrival will help ensure a smooth meal preparation.
You can convey the following details when making a reservation:
"One of our party members cannot eat raw tuna; are there any possible menu adjustments?"
Through this request, you can receive prior guidance on the specific scope of support available for the date of your visit.
