Tsunami Sushi Bar and Grill is located in strip mall near the office I was working at, and some of the local staff mentioned it was a lunchtime favorite. The interior is a cookie-cutter of any Japanese / sushi joint in America. There is a counter off to the right when you walk in where can sit and watch the chefs prepare the rolls if that's your preference. Otherwise, the decor is laminate flooring with dark wooden tables and chairs, and a mid-height wall separating the dining room punctuated with Japanese themed art work on the walls. I ordered the sushi bento lunch box, and for $13...it was a very good deal! Tempura fried veggies were lightly battered and fried to a nice crisp without being soggy. The California roll was a bit heavy on the rice, but otherwise inoffensive and had that familiar flavor profile of imitation crab meat mixed in with cucumber and avocado. I thought the teriyaki chicken with fried rice was the highlight. The chicken had a nice charred flavor from the flat top and was not drowning in sweet soy sauce, as is prepared at most places. And there was plentiful fried rice, which again, had a nice smoky charred flavor. It was a generous portion size, and enough that I had half to take home for dinner that night. Is Tsunami the most authentic Japanese restaurant you'll find? No. But for the Rio Grande Valley, it is a change-up and pleasant surprise.

Friends review of the "omakase experience":…read more Don't be fooled by the marketing campaign being ramrodded through social media depicting an omakase being served by a professionally trained sushi chef presumably from Japan. Nobody here speaks Japanese. This isn't a review of the typical menu items found at any other restaurant within eye shot of the parking lot. This is about the omakase. My experience started a full week prior to my actual meal when I walked in and mentioned that I wanted to try the omakase. The host, gracious as they were, looked at me like I was ordering from the forbidden menu. Their demeanor changed. With their shoulders now tense and looking around for help, they told me that I needed to let them know at least 48 hours in advance. Why? Looking around I didn't see the famed sushi chef behind the bar so I'd just assumed they had to let him know someone wanted the omakase. Perhaps they wanted more than just one person to justify the cost of bringing him in. I couldn't understand it. An omakase isn't a special type of dinner that can only be done by the most trained of chefs. It's a staple experience that any chef can provide at a moment's notice at any sushi restaurant... any sushi restaurant outside the Rio Grande Valley, that is. If you need 48 hours notice to provide a quality omakase experience then it isn't saying much for your other chefs behind the bar. It's just consists of items already on the menu, but also gives your chefs the freedom to create their own dishes. Experiment a little. In any case, this was the moment where I felt I might be in trouble. It's a week later and I'm walking in to finally get some good sushi. The host asks for my name, says I'm here for the omakase, and immediately takes me to my seat at the bar. I'm the only one here. I only see one chef, and it's not _the guy_. Why did they need 48 hours notice again? The first dish was a delightful poke salad. Well made and well plated. A nice starter. I was cautiously optimistic. The rest of the meal was all nigiri pieces consisting of salmon, yellowtail, scallop, otoro, "wagyu", maguro, and uni. There were others but I stopped taking notes at some point once I realized what this was. Standard Valley sushi. And there's nothing wrong with that. It is what it is. This is what we know and how we do it. But I had to wait for this? Spend at least $100 for this? No. If you're going to put an omakase experience on such a pedestal you need to deliver and you didn't. The entire experience lasted less than an hour so the pace was also an issue. A well paced and well managed tasting course is at least two hours. If you're going to visit this restaurant you're going to have an amazing time ordering standard menu items. They do that very well. Just don't do the omakase.
