As someone who has dined here on multiple occasions, I sadly will never come back. My boyfriend and I went to the bar for drinks and appetizers and honestly... the service was so bad I thought John Quinonis was going to appear to say this was all a prank. The bartender could NOT be bothered never offered us menus or water, after he took our drink orders and brought out our drinks he never checked on us or anything. The only good thing to come out of our night was the other bartender who rang in our appetizer. Well... I thought he rang it in. After the first bartender closed out our check about thirty minutes later he comes up to us and asks us where our edamame was and I was like umm not sure we haven't gotten it yet. He says we should have let him know! That is ridiculous to tell a guest that it is their fault they don't have their food. Like I said we were already paid out, so my boyfriend went to the host stand to get off the waitlist. When the food arrived there was no apology and no righting that wrong, no refund or dessert brought out.
I guess I just am disappointed because Tsunami is usually good, maybe the bartender just didn't like us. Maybe my dissatisfaction comes from me also being a server and knowing I would never dream of doing any of that.

Wow this place has definitely declined. I don’t know what happened. I heard there is a new owner and maybe that’s it but we won’t be going back. This onetime hot spot is in need of a major facelift. Its age is showing. The upholstery is in bad condition with fading, stains and tears. Several tables we saw including ours has big chips and starting to peel. The place just appeared dirty with grime and dust. Really needs an overhaul. The food quality has definitely decreased. I was shocked at how horrible a lot of the plates were in appearance and taste. Three of our “specialty” dishes and the “pump” salad was the exact same thing put plated and priced differently. Non of which was good and was overpowered by the vinegar like sauce. Even the rolls were lacking. The once filled rolls are now mostly rice and barely enough other ingredients to make it worth your while, so basically expensive rice. Non had complimenting sauces either. The only thing that was worth it was the salted escolar with truffle oil. I have been going to this Tsunami since it opened. It is not the same. I have also noted the rooftop Tsunami in Baton Rouge has significantly declined too. I sure hope major changes happen to make this a premier sushi place with hip vibes once again. Until then. I’m out!

Kind of disappointing for how big of a price tag it has. The wait for our rolls was insane and we were the only customers in the whole restaurant. Just go to sushi masa. The appetizer was amazing we got the truffle salmon and it melts in your mouth. But the sushi is mid. The atmosphere is super cool though. Also bring a jacket it’s freezing in there!

The food was great. The sunflower was very good! The only disappointing part was the service. Waitress was very slow and it just seemed like she didn’t care too much.

one of my partner & i’s favorite local spots. we celebrated our 6 year anniversary there this past friday and our experience was incredible as always. started with appetizers: miso soup for me, spicy crab salad for him. then ordered(from left to right): the don tuan, salmon pesto, & happy feet roll. finished off dinner with the chocolate tsunami which is one of our favorite deserts ever!!
now for our request…we have a very special drink that’s only made here by their genius behind the bar, maddie, and as much as i’d love to gatekeep it, it is SO incredible that i hope others can try it out and push for it to become a permanent drink on the menu. it’s a CHANTILLY CAKE MARTINI ??? & yes it is as incredible as it sounds. tsunami please add this to the permanent menu so it can continue to be our special drink we get each time we visit!
The sushi was great. The service was less than desirable. Our first experience was a host that was on the phone. She never once greeted us or even acknowledged our presence. In fact, she turned around when we walked up. It took a few servers watch us standing there wihout help for at least 5 minutes. Our server was great but the experience with the host had us discussing if we'd be back or not due to us having a similar experience back in May 2024.

10 out of 10 stars across the board! I was here Saturday September 14th for a birthday and our food was delicious and our server Tony was awesome! He was on top of his game and made sure we always had water and everything we needed. I suggest getting the black and gold roll it was out of this world.
