$13.99 • This is not typical pub food, but we're glad it's a staple on the menu of both Porcupine locations (near the U. and near the mouth of Little and Big Cottonwood canyons). While it's listed as an appetizer, these flash-fried rolls encasing rare sushi grade tuna, mung bean sprouts, carrots, green onions, basil and cilantro are big enough for lunch or a light dinner. The plate comes with rice, pineapple and pickled ginger, along with a wasabi sauce that could make your head explode if you're not careful.
