Sometimes you just crave a bit of heat with your sushi. Spicy Tuna rolls, Volcano rolls and Spicy Scallop hand rolls will usually get the job done. But the same sushi every outing can get a little boring. Luckily for you the chefs at Harrah’s Resort SoCal love to push the fiery limits. A Funner take on a classic sushi dish, we’ve taken the Spicy Tuna roll and given it a “Flamin’ Hot” twist. We give you the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Roll! Don’t miss Funner Sushi Fridays every week at the Buffet.
