THEY HAVE RATS! Tsunami Sushi served some genuinely good food — the sushi was fresh and the flavors were solid. Unfortunately, a major cleanliness issue completely overshadowed the experience—RATS!
As we were getting our drinks to start the meal, we saw something dart across the floor. At first, we weren’t sure if it was what we thought it was — we’d been drinking a bit, and honestly, it’s not every day you see a rat scurrying across a restaurant. We brushed it off, hoping we were mistaken. Unfortunately, we weren’t. Toward the end of the meal, we saw the rat again — this time clearly — and decided to cut the meal short. We mentioned it to our server, who didn’t seem surprised or bothered, which signaled to us that this may be a known issue.
Considering the situation, offering a refund or even a partial refund would’ve been appropriate — but nothing was offered. That was disappointing on top of an already unacceptable experience. A rat running across the floor made the entire meal uncomfortable and concerning. We should’ve been refunded.
The food itself was good, but the presence of rodents and how casually it was handled makes it hard to recommend or return. !!!!!Cleanliness and safety should be a baseline, not an afterthought!!!!!

Nice space, friendly attentive service, fabulous cocktails and even more fabulous food! Beautiful presentation and outstanding freshness…. I can’t remember the name of the roll I had but it was superb, and the Sunflower was just off the charts yummy… I can’t WAIT to go back!

Called to order take out a few minutes ago.
Me: Can I place an order for pickup?
The woman who answered the phone: We’re out of to-go boxes so we’re currently not taking to-go orders at this time, for tonight. I’m sorry hun.

Best food I ate at New Orleans so far, especially since we eat sushi a lot. Ordered dynamite, Han-Tan, and the best bite. Fresh fish, good portions, good flavor. Atmosphere helped by the biggest storm I saw this year.

We needed a break from French Quarter food on our vacation and walked to Tsunami Sushi. Happy Hour 3-6pm, Monday after Mother’s Day. Plenty tables open and my friend and I sat at the bar. Food was exactly what we needed and at Happy Hour price, it was even better. Fish was fresh and the truffle salmon was something I’ve never heard of, but would order again! They also seared our nigiri upon request, med rare. I wish there was $1.50 nigiri where I lived! Ruby was an excellent bartender/server and really made our experience too-notch and elevated. Can’t wait to come back!

Interesting sushi with Louisiana twist. Flavor was great. The sizing of sushi can be better. The drink was probably watered down.
