Two years of design and development went into Tsunami before Michele Ezell and her partners, opened its doors in December of 1999. Since then, Michele, her husband Sean, and partners Fred Nonato & Toon Nguyen have positioned Tsunami as a sometimes funky sometimes fancy always flavorful sushi joint.

As someone who has dined here on multiple occasions, I sadly will never come back. My boyfriend and I went to the bar for drinks and appetizers and honestly… the service was so bad I thought John Quinonis was going to appear to say this was all a prank. The bartender could NOT be bothered never offered us menus or water, after he took our drink orders and brought out our drinks he never checked on us or anything. The only good thing to come out of our night was the other bartender who rang in our appetizer. Well… I thought he rang it in. After the first bartender closed out our check about thirty minutes later he comes up to us and asks us where our edamame was and I was like umm not sure we haven’t gotten it yet. He says we should have let him know! That is ridiculous to tell a guest that it is their fault they don’t have their food. Like I said we were already paid out, so my boyfriend went to the host stand to get off the waitlist. When the food arrived there was no apology and no righting that wrong, no refund or dessert brought out.
I guess I just am disappointed because Tsunami is usually good, maybe the bartender just didn’t like us. Maybe my dissatisfaction comes from me also being a server and knowing I would never dream of doing any of that.

Wow this place has definitely declined. I don’t know what happened. I heard there is a new owner and maybe that’s it but we won’t be going back. This onetime hot spot is in need of a major facelift.
Its age is showing. The upholstery is in bad condition with fading, stains and tears. Several tables we saw including ours has big chips and starting to peel. The place just appeared dirty with grime and dust. Really needs an overhaul.
The food quality has definitely decreased. I was shocked at how horrible a lot of the plates were in appearance and taste. Three of our “specialty” dishes and the “pump” salad was the exact same thing put plated and priced differently. Non of which was good and was overpowered by the vinegar like sauce. Even the rolls were lacking. The once filled rolls are now mostly rice and barely enough other ingredients to make it worth your while, so basically expensive rice. Non had complimenting sauces either. The only thing that was worth it was the salted escolar with truffle oil.
I have been going to this Tsunami since it opened. It is not the same. I have also noted the rooftop Tsunami in Baton Rouge has significantly declined too. I sure hope major changes happen to make this a premier sushi place with hip vibes once again. Until then. I’m out!

Excellent restaurant, delicious food, great service.
I was very impressed with the menu as it has so many different varieties. User friendly, items are explained with ingredients, and pictures.
Presentation was beautiful. Plates were made for good Price VS value.
Staff are super nice, helpful and beautiful. Thomas and Maddie were super nice and attentive.
Dessert was also delicious. Chocolate cake was balanced and not too sweet.
Restrooms were clean and maintained.
Design was nice, separate are for bar, second floor and main dining area. Also a Sushi bar area where you can enjoy the chefs making the sushi rolls. In addition to a separate bar area where you can enjoy a drink.
Highly recommend this place from date, or any other occasion.
Keep up the good work.

Kind of disappointing for how big of a price tag it has. The wait for our rolls was insane and we were the only customers in the whole restaurant. Just go to sushi masa. The appetizer was amazing we got the truffle salmon and it melts in your mouth. But the sushi is mid. The atmosphere is super cool though. Also bring a jacket it’s freezing in there!

This place has the most high quality sushi I’ve had in a long time. It’s a little pricey but it is worth the money between the food and drinks there’s not much to be disappointed about. 10/10

Our go-to place for sushi. The food was amazing as always. The server had great wine recommendations. The plum wine was really good!! The only critique was that, when we arrived, the servers were in a meeting, so it took about 10 minutes to have our initial interaction with our waitress. Suggest to have someone watching for patrons coming in while meetings are happening. Will definitely be back.

Nice place. Visited out of a distant recollection.
Atmosphere is more of a date night feel. Almost upscale, some things need updating.
Nice variety of sushi options. A bit on the pricey side, but good sushi.
FYI there is an upcharge if you ate using credit cards

Amazing sushi! Some very creative flavors & combinations. Eggplant miso appetizer is hard to beat. Great location, clean, friendly & knowledgeable staff. We’ve done several sushi rolling classes for customers and these are a ton of fun – their chef staff is entertaining & skilled! Good vibe & atmosphere.

The downtown was dead, and bars were empty, but this place was popping. Dylan was a little new, but his effort made up for it. Kyla knew her Japanese whiskeys and helped me in the fold. Real talk don’t go exotic. Stay mainstream, and you’ll have bangers all night. Kanpai!
