Disappointed – This was my second visit to Tsunami's. You can tell it's been around for awhile, meaning it needs refreshing in decor & staff. The food for the most part was good, with the exception of the Toro tuna. Was very chewy because of the lines of grissell throughout the meat. The staff seemed more interested in visiting with each other than attending to the needs of their patrons. The waitress acted as if my wife didn't exist. Wrong move, because we decide together as to the tip percentage. Until I hear of a major ch... read more

Good Sushi, Great Selection – Sitting at the sushi bar was a good experience. The service was ok. The sushi was good. There wasn't anything we could complain about. They did not have certain fish the day we were there. It was a downer, but it is also a sign that the restaurant maintains high quality fish. It was a good enough that we would go back.

Solid sushi – Recent trip to Chicago landed us at Tsunami after being recommended by the hotel's concierge service. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great and it was quite the place for people watching, if that helps to your dining recommendations. The food itself was what you would expect but didn't leave you craving to come back the next day. All in all it does the job a Japanese restaurant should and wins extra points for the ambiance.

Our family favorite – As with children, it stinks when one of yours is not seen in the best light! We love Tsunami and have for years. The food is the best its ever been and I am happy to have them in our neighborhood. Congrats on the recent local reviews!!!

Dissapointed....a big let down – Chose Tsunami for my birthday dinner this past weekend with my husband whose never eaten there. I have been there several times, over three years ago. I used to go there alot with friends and share sushi and bottles of sake. Food was always good and so were drinks, even dessert. Our appetizers were way too small. The beef asparagus roll looked like it had been rolled in egg, rather than beef the meat was so thin. The crab cakes were actually a crab cake, you only got one on the plate. The fir... read more

Great atmosphere, sushi needs improvement – The atmosphere is great at Tsunami, particularly the upstairs area. The only problem we've run into is the quality of the fish isn't the best. I've had very stringy fish almost every time I've been there, so be careful. Aside from that, the sake selection is great.

Highly Recommended! Great sushi, great drinks - love it! – Sushi is something I only take on recommendation, and when Tsunami came up from a girlfriend I was dying to try it. She was right - this place is perfect. The service is prompt, but not rushed, and for a Japanese restaurant that seems a lot more like a sushi bar than a sit-down, its quite the opposite. Very romantic for a date, had a great time there on one! Love the drink menu - I recommend the lemonade martini with raspberry - its fabulous!!

Great Sushi – I took my friend here for her birthday and we had nothing but an enjoyable evening. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing and the selection of different sushi/sashimi was expansive. Great sake and atmosphere as well. Will definitely come back!
