A groovy little NoPa place that redefines sushi chic. – The Scene The hipster '70s vibe features dim lighting, mellow house music and cute stocking-capped sushi chefs behind a small bar in the corner. A low banquette along one wall anchors a small lounge area. It's like the "Brady Bunch" living room--wood paneling and angular furniture--relocated. The Food Unusual specials are highlighted, such as tiny, whole, flash-fried crabs, an extremely crunchy yet delicately flavored treat. Nigiri and sashimi standards are perfectly te... read more
If You Know Sushi This Is The Best – First I would like to ask where can you eat decent sushi for less than $40 or $50 a person. This is what a person would spend at Tsunami or the like of Tsunami spots in the city. Expensive if your hang out are WEBE sushi for example. I love this place for it all Japanese young chefs, wild sake selection that seems the largest I ever seen 7 now a retail sake shop right next door. The food is amazing it be the super fresh sachimi or wild rolld like the papa san that I have been ordering it ... read more
Love Tsunami – Tsunami is a great place, maybe not for everyone, but I know Japanese food and they do too, Chef Adashi buys fresh fish daily and cares about the quality very much, yes it is pricey and if you want a cheap California roll and some crappy hot sake look somewhere else! Tip the chefs a beer and you can't go wrong!
Avoid it – Staff was unprofessional, the manager or someone who I thought was one was extremely rude. The sushi sampler was too expensive for four types of fish and two small slices each at $25. My friends and I had two samplers - three small one ounce shots which cost $16 each. Our tab for a sushi sampler, two sake samplers was $60. The sushi came with some greens stuffed into a small shot glass and didnt even have any dressing. Our waitress came twice to check if we were okay - to actually check if we needed to order more ... read more
best sushi ever – anyone who says tsunami has bad service must have outrageous expectations or be too old for this restaraunt. we usually sit at the sushi bar and talk it up with Adachi or Thomas (coolest sushi chefs ever!) and enjoy 1/2 off hand rolls and sake. Every person I have brought to Tsunami has said this was the best sushi they have ever eaten, and I have the same feeling every time I go there (about once a week). Thier fish is fresh, crab is delicious, and specials are awesome. Tsunami definitely is not a one star... read more
Low and Sushi and Poor Service for Sushi Lovers – Sushi is not so good and not worth the money. Service is poor on average and the best you can expect is one glass of water. Staff is likely to encourage you to pay the bill and leave quickly so they can refill your table. Be careful what you order as much of the sushi is low end and not ideal for anyone who truly enjoys sushi. Overall it would be a better choice for the sushi lover to avoid this establishment.
Worst Service in the City – If I could give a zero stars rating I would do it. The wait staff at this restaruant is totally unprofessional and appears to be drunk and high. Get a clue and stay away from this terrible place!! There are too many other good restaurants in San Francisco to waste your time here.
Amazing Sushi, great atmosphere – I went to Tsunami for the first time tonight and was very pleased with my experience. Firstly, and most importantly, the sushi was incredible. The sashimi was fresh and had great texture; the rolls were large and delicious (spider roll and the mama san). Although I do agree with many of the reviews about the inattentive waitstaff, I must say that the absolute opposite was true of the sushi chefs. We sat at the sushi bar and had a wonderful experience being waited on by the sushi chefs, who w... read more
Zagat Review Is Correct Somehow – I always enjoy reading Zagat before going to places to eat. On this one Zagat underrated them but were close. Fish is amazingly super fresh with very pretty presentations... Sachimi is out of this world. I was there Wed when they offered a selection of fish I never heard off that was flown to them from Japan .. Very good. Design is very nice but I have to dissagree with one of the reviews saying all energy went there.. I'm a designer.. this place is done very tastefully but does not seem to ... read more
