Tsunami Restaurant & Sushi Bar is one of those places you can always count on. It’s consistently great with good food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere every time we go.
While most people head straight for the sushi (which is fantastic), I decided to switch it up and ordered the Katsu Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box. What a great alternative! The chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside and the teriyaki had just the right balance of sweet and savory. The bento box portions were generous.
The service is top notch. Fast, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Our sodas were refilled before we ever had to ask, which is always appreciated.
If you’re in the mood for sushi, you can’t go wrong, but don’t overlook the bento boxes. Tsunami delivers every time!

We hadn’t been to Tsunami for a few years and it was such a disappointment this time. The service was good so no criticism there. The food however, terrible. The quality has dropped so much since the last time we went, I was stunned.
To start with the miso soup had such a strong msg taste it was completely inedible.
We ordered 2 combination meals and 1 extra roll. The taste of the salmon and teriyaki steak was good but the portion size was honestly something I’d expect on a kids menu. The salmon was about a quarter inch thick.
The really disappointing thing were the sushi rolls. The cococabana was the best of the 3 but it was comparable to something you’d buy in desperation at a grocery store. The rice for everything was way too dry and they were just falling apart. The actual slices of fish were incredibly small as were the rolls themselves.
The signature Tsunami roll was not good at all. It was weirdly chewy and the rice was especially bad in this roll. The Vegas roll, which is a favorite of mine at most restaurants, had the most strange flavor I’ve ever had in a roll. It was horrible and I couldn’t eat more than 1 piece and I regretted that one.
The tempura was not crisp. Just awful food. If you want good sushi I’d definitely skip Tsunami and go to Kahi in American Fork or Blue Fish in South Jordan. But based on our food last night, ANY sushi restaurant would be better. We have no plans to return again. It ruined my birthday dinner.

I’ll admit, I walked in with my heart set on a Hibachi grill, but my daughter had been nudging me to try Tsunami Restaurant & Sushi Bar for a while. She mentioned they served steak, I was sold, and I’m glad I listened.
The Main Course
I opted for the Steak and Salmon dinner. As someone who spent time fishing in Alaska, I have high standards for seafood; Tsunami delivered. The salmon was cooked exactly to my preference, and the steak was seasoned to perfection. It was a nostalgic meal that exceeded my expectations for a sushi-focused spot.
Sushi Highlights
My daughter took the lead on the sushi, ordering a spread that included:
California & Philadelphia Rolls (Classic and fresh)
Spider Roll (Great texture)
Spicy Crunchy Vegas Rolls (The absolute MVP)
The Vegas rolls were such a hit with the whole table that we didn’t even hesitate to order a second round. If you’re visiting with family, make sure these are on your list.
The Grand Finale: Don’t Skip the Coconut Glory
To wrap up the meal, we decided to share the Coconut Glory. I say “share” loosely because it was devoured in seconds! It was the perfect light, sweet ending to a heavy steak and sushi meal. If you have even a little room left at the end of your dinner, I highly recommend ordering this. Just be prepared to fight your family for it.
Service & Atmosphere
The service was top-notch. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and kept the pace of the meal moving perfectly—we never felt like we were waiting, as the food arrived surprisingly fast despite how busy they were.
Final Verdict
Great food, nostalgic flavors, and a win for the family. I went in wanting Hibachi, but I left planning my next visit to Tsunami. I’ll definitely be back.

Great experience at Tsunami Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Traverse Mountain. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. Our group decided to let the waitress order for us and it turned out to be a great decision. Everything she recommended was delicious and it made the whole experience fun since we got to try a variety of dishes we might not have ordered ourselves.
The sushi was fresh, the flavors were great, and overall the meal felt high quality. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the evening which made the dinner even better.
The only small issue was that a couple people in our group ordered the steak and rice dish medium and it came out closer to medium rare. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.
Overall though, really good food and great service. I would definitely come back

We used to be regulars here, but haven’t gone in a while. Went tonight and the experience was disappointing. Our table was uncomfortably tiny… Like so tiny that my plate hung off. Our waitress kept touching our plates/cups/sauce dishes to move them around and make room on the table. It was gross having her repeatedly handle our food/drinks because of this tiny table.
My body doesn’t tolerate rice well so I asked for extra vegetables in place of rice. I was told it would be an extra $6 for that swap. I then asked what can I get instead of rice that I don’t need to pay for and the waitress said “Umm nothing, we recently changed our policy”. Really? So I kept the rice for my husband to eat…
I got the teriyaki steak, cooked medium. It came out well done and was really really dry. Just pretty bad experience overall.
I don’t appreciate restaurants that nickel and dime people and don’t accommodate for intolerances, or make people pay more for being allergic to things and needing to substitute. Told my husband I’m officially done with Tsunami.

I enjoyed all the food, but my steak was a little over cooked and chewy for my liking. I am not a sushi fan either so I didn’t try any rolls. Our server “G” was amazing and took care of our big party with a smile. We would go back if we are in the area.

This is always a go to place for us when it comes to sushi. Haven’t had anything bad before. It always seems busy on weekend nights but it was manageable on a Saturday night waiting about 40 minutes although I do recommend making a reservation. I’ve had a a server in the past who seemed annoyed and it was toward the end of her shift but the one tonight was great. This is definitely one of the few sushi restaurants I recommend for people in Utah including group gatherings.

I highly recommend this place. The host was friendly and welcoming. I sat at the sushi bar, and the chef came over to explain the setup to me personally. I could watch them prepare my sushi right in front of me—it was clean, fresh, and beautifully done

Overall great lunch. I really liked the tempura vegetable appetizer and the edamame. The sushi was generally good, and the waitress was friendly and responsive. My only two complaints are that when I took my first bite of sushi (a Vegas Roll) it was a tad fishier than I expected. But I can’t be sure if that was just the seaweed layer or the fish itself, and later in the meal I didn’t notice it any more. Second complaint is that the roll with mango in it had very underripe mango bits, to the point that I thought it was a vegetable until I pulled out a piece by itself to test the flavor and determine what it was (we were in a group, and I didn’t order the rolls–so I didn’t know which rolls were which).

Great place for all things sushi! Vast menu with tons of roll options. The best part was our waitress who was helpful and took the time to recommend popular choices. We did family style where everyone just eats everything ordered. It was all good, I can’t recall one specific standout roll.
