Food description: Raw slices of red tuna fish
Food rating: 7.5 out of 10

I order maguro sashimi pretty regularly here and it's one of the better tuna sashimi dishes that I've had. I enjoy tuna sashimi but I don't crave it as much as hamachi or toro. The color of the maguro sashimi is consistently good--it's always a sign of freshness when the color is a nice deep red, never brownish or pinkish. Thankfully, the cut is also great here-tuna that's cut from the wrong part of the fish has stripes of chewy tendony stuff. Proper chefs won't serve you this, and use it inside the rolls instead. I've sent tuna back at places like Sanraku for this reason. The flavor of this tuna is nice and clean, and actually has flavor compared to some other places (for amazing flavor, try the maguro at Sebo in Hayes Valley). The texture is usually very smooth, and doesn't require a lot of chewing. Overall, the maguro at Sushi Delight is pretty tasty and a great bang for the buck ($7 for 6 pieces).
