Not really a sushi place, awful service – Tsunami advertises itself as a sushi and sake bar, but in reality, it's a sake bar with sushi as an afterthought. The sushi selection is slim, unexciting, and expensive. The servers are unattentive, snobby, and incompetent. We were there on an uncrowded Tuesday night, but from the harried waiters, you would've thought it was Friday and the place was full. We wanted to sit at a table, but despite the fact that several were available, we were sat on the uncofortable, low benches. We di... read more

Presentation is everything – Delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was wonderful. I have found a new favorite sushi restaurant and I will be going there regularly. Make reservations.

Worth every penny, Service, Sushi & Sake' – We went there after our friends been talking about this place for months... I feel bad we have not gone there before ! Although some reviews noted they were expensive I thought $108 for 2 was simply avearge unless we were planning to eat at WeBe sushi. The atmosphere is retro with its dim lights and loud music and high energy place. I must say it felt more of a drinking place with food than food with drinking, but thats what made our experince remarkable. The sushi was extremly fre... read more

Amazing – If you go you must order the sashimi platter. The fish is really fresh served on a platter that looks like an underwater jungle, except the fish can't swim. The place is swanky & very hip with an amzing sake' list and excellent service. Music is often times pumping loud but very fun, with very hip stylish dressed staff and equal look from the customers. Oh, also you should order the papasan and hamchi shitake'

Very Unusual – Intresting place, the fish was excellent bith in the sushi department 'nigiri & rolls which seems is what they specilize in. We sat at the sushi bar and the chefs were funny, ecentric and goofy but very fun and good. I cant belive the volume this place makes in terms of sushi. I would like to go again, food was good, service good, atmosphere great. I opted for beer but was told I should have tried their sake' being supposedly the best in the country !

It was very good – You always hear about Tsunami and always hear how good it is so we decided upong arriving from LA last week to hit Tsunami as our first night spotfor the days we were here. The food is amazing, the fish is very fresh with remarkable rolls like the papasan which I died for. Even simple one like california roll was extremly fresh and tasty. Sake list has to be the biggest in the US and our guy at the bar was remarkable with his recommendations. All in all this trip was excellent and next time in town we are ... read more

AWFUL SUSHI – This place is admittedly very cute and trendy. When we were first seated I was very hopeful. The sushi is AWFUL though. It's as if they found the fish on the street and served it. At $100+ for 2 people, I do NOT recommend this place to anyone. There are tons of cute sushi places in SF. This place was wretched.

Love the Happy Hour! – I can't get enough of this place. For a while I was there almost once a week. The happy hour is very reasonable. The soju cocktails are great! The eel hand rolls are the best I've ever had. My boyfriend and I have tried other places in the city like Sushi-A-Go-Go, and we decided we like the sushi at Tsunami more than any other sushi that we have tried. Also, the miso soup is the best I have ever had and the edamame is always perfect. I took my vegetarian friend here and she loved the vegitarian rolls t... read more
