Tuna crudo at Slowly in Pacific Beach, San Diego CA – sushi-grade tuna with cucumber, chili oil, aioli, and pea green shoots

Our Tuna Crudo has quickly become one of the most popular dishes on our menu. Made with sushi-grade tuna, cucumber, poke sauce, chili oil, sesame seeds, aioli, and pea green shoots, it’s vibrant, flavorful, and designed to highlight the quality of the fish.


Why Our Crudo Stands Out

Tuna crudo at Slowly in Pacific Beach, San Diego CA – sushi-grade tuna with cucumber, chili oil, aioli, and pea green shoots

  • Premium Ingredients – Always sushi-grade tuna, always fresh.

  • Balanced Flavors – Heat from chili oil, creaminess from aioli, and a fresh crunch from cucumber.

  • Mediterranean Spirit – Inspired by Italian crudo, with a San Diego twist.

  • Perfect for Sharing – A starter that sparks conversation and sets the tone for dinner.


Recommended Pairing

We love to pair our crudo with a classic Aperol Spritz during Aperitivo hour — the citrus and bubbles complement the freshness of the tuna beautifully. For a bolder option, try it with our Espresso Martini, where the richness of coffee balances the brightness of the dish.


Crudo in San Diego: The Elevated Seafood Choice

Crudo is having a moment in San Diego, and Slowly is proud to be part of that movement. It’s lighter than ceviche, more dressed than sashimi, and every plate is a celebration of simplicity done well.
