We finally tried Tsunami for takeout and were pleasantly surprised, especially by the fact that their buy one, get one sushi specials even apply to delivery orders -- which is pretty fantastic considering how expensive sushi can get these days. I ordered the sweet potato roll and swapped the seaweed for soy paper, which I highly recommend. The roll itself was very delicious, and I added tempura flakes for a little crunch. In hindsight, I probably should have asked for extra eel sauce because the flakes made it a touch drier, but the flavor overall was still really good. My husband ordered the GMC roll, which is a spicy crab roll, and that was also included in the buy one, get one special. He really enjoyed it. He also got his go-to salmon roll and requested brown rice instead, and all of the customization instructions were followed perfectly. We also tried the vegetable potstickers. The other option was beef, which we passed on since those are often made with pork as well. The vegetable version just wasn't really my favorite personally, but that may come down to preference more than preparation. Overall, everything tasted fresh, the order was accurate, and it ended up being a really delicious takeout option. After seeing the menu and specials, I can absolutely understand why this place gets mentioned as one of the top happy hour spots around. Some nights even feature all-you-can-eat sushi specials, which honestly sounds wild for sushi prices these days. Definitely glad we finally gave it a try, and now we want to check it out in person for happy hour next time. read more

The sushi is not very good and some of our salmon tastes expired. Even the service during lunch is unprofessional... And we were sat at a table that still needed cleaned. It really appears as if no one working here cares... The glass of water was good. read more

This place turned out to be an unexpectedly great find! Locals told us the sushi was fresh and fairly priced, and they were absolutely right. The quality and freshness were outstanding, and the prices were very reasonable. We enjoyed it so much that we came back twice. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. Highly recommend their sushi! read more

This has been my favorite local sushi place for years now. The spicy tuna is my favorite. So many delicious rolls with fresh fish. I usually get takeout but dine-in is also fun. Great service, great ambiance. Michelle is terrific. Daniel too. They always accommodate my preferences...light rice, no crunch. So far...I love the Triple Tuna, Crazy Tuna, Angry Dragon, Bullet, Pikachu and spicy tuna rolls. Patio seating (outside is dog-friendly) with inside bar, clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. read more

We thought this place would be great since the reviews. Well, it's ok, all you can eat places has better sushi and Hibachi . Service was good and simple ambiance. The salad was the best with the ginger dressing. read more

First off, I had never reviewed a restaurant, but was so irritated by my experience i felt the need to leave a review. Possibly the worst restaurant experience I have had. The pad thai, if you can even call it that, was disgusting and tasted like burnt cooking oil. Our sushi came out very late, and the chicken thai curry had little chicken and very undercooked and random vegetables, like zucchini?? -- who puts zucchini in thai food... Nothing better than crunchy undercooked zucchini in a cheap bottled thai sauce. Also, this place was lowkey expensive, especially for what we got. read more

We tried this place again after a bad DoorDash experience hoping it was a fluke but unfortunately the quality control issue extends into the sit down service. We started with the shrimp tempura and within a couple of minutes of placing the order they were out with the food and it was still ice cold. We said something to the waitress and she did have another one made that was hotter, but tasted off almost like an old fry oil aftertaste. My wife got the sushi appetizer with 5 nigiri, 4/5 were alright (about the same as grocery store nigiri), the tuna nigiri tasted freezer burnt. The spicy tuna roll was the same. Staff were friendly but we went elsewhere for the rest of our meal. read more

This place has the worst service in the world. Nobody is at the front to seat you. When you make your way to the bar, the tender is a dick. When you finally get sat, you sit there for 30 minutes and no one comes to serve you. read more

This place has very much gone down hill. The sushi was just okay and there were tiny nats flying around the restaurant. I also asked the one server if he could tell us what the brown blob was next to our spring rolls and he said "I don't know" and walked away nervously laughing. When we got our sushi it was brought out to us by a gentleman that reeked of cigarettes. The efficiency was good and our waitress was really attentive (young woman) and very nice. This restaurant desperately needs a remodel. The decor is outdated, and the menus are sticky. I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Food is always good. Sushi, hibachi and bowls. Server was nice and attentive. Good value too.

John and I play the what do you want to eat for dinner game a lot when we vacation- I jokingly mentioned Japanese Steakhouse and John jumped. The search was on for a place close to our hotel and with good reviews, especially recent reviews and I found Tsunami. I am very happy we dined here. John and I were able to split a steak and shrimp habachi plate and it was so much food! They plated it split for us- something I appreciate when restaurants do. Everything was delicious, the dining room was beautiful too. But our server was the best! Fast, wonderful service. I highly recommend if you are looking for a dinner spot. read more

this restaurant has really stepped up! the food was great. the steak and chicken hibachi was cooked perfect. especially since we got our steak medium rare. their sushi was very fresh. not fishy at all. rice to fish ratio was great too so you're not being cheated. service was good, and the energy of the restaurant is calm. we came at 4, their happy hour is from 4-6:30. the deals are great. the crispy rice tuna was alright. the rice was a bit more hard than crispy. but everything was great!! read more

We were in the mood for sushi so we decided to visit this location as they have a nice menu variety and never a wait to be seated. Everything was great from the rolls to the pad Thai that we ordered! The waitress was friendly, everything came in a timely manner, and overall we were happy. The only complaint I would give is the children's chicken strip meal was one chicken strip cut into several bite size pieces on a big bed of fries. It wasn't much protein and I'm not sure how that would be filling for any child over the age of two. read more

I usually order the shrimp hibachi lunch special for an easy lunch in the middle of my workday. It's one of the cheapest hibachi lunches around here. It's a decent and affordable lunch option so I don't expect much but what I do appreciate is how the rice tastes like it has been cooked on an open flame. However, the last time I ordered from here, my rice was hard. I called in the restaurant that day and whoever answered said they would make the next hibachi for me for free (she didn't give me anything that would guarantee this, she just said she would remember me). Well it was nearly a week before I ordered there again and when I tried to order, the person that answered said he knew nothing about it so he said he would give me 15% off. It kinda turned me off because he didn't seem interested in trying to confirm it with anyone. I also didn't want to take the risk of having hard rice again so I haven't ordered here since (for some reason my spirit just always tells me it ain't worth it). But barring all of my issues, on the quality of the food alone, I'd still give this restaurant a 2.5 or 3. read more

I LOVE sushi and when I say sushi, I mean raw all the way without a bunch of sauce on the rolls. I appreciate tasting the fishes' natural flavor, but not here! I actually gagged on a piece of sashimi salmon. The rice fell apart and the wasabi wasn't good quality. You know what they say when the rice and wasabi is bad at sushi restaurants...stay say! Service was very good and the bar was packed for happy hour so they have great drink specials, I guess. It's a beautiful restaurant with a ton of tables but it seemed sad there being so empty. read more

I came here looking for a late night dinner with a sushi craving. Our waitress was very nice and got us to our seat right away. The menu is very detailed and I like that they have pictures for everything. I think sometimes people are hesitant to get certain foods because they don't know what it is, so I like that this place had pictures to show. I got the oyster roll and the Old Bay roll and they were both delicious and well cooked and prepared. They have a beer and wine list and a few cocktails although I didn't order any. The place needs to be updated as far as design and the tables and menus were a little sticky but otherwise the place was clean. I used the bathroom that was also very clean and sanitary. This place isn't anything too fancy but it's got great sushi read more

Kind of a late review ,, But I visited on 30 October 2023 to treat my mom to one of her favorite cuisine.. For the price I paid for the Steak & Shrimp w/Rice + Broccoli Takeout .. I don't feel like the portion was large enough. Overall my mom was satisfied with the taste of the food though. The Ambiance was kind of okay.. There were fish in a tank to watch as we waited.. Also there was a upside down deer head that drawed my curiosity!! Giving this restaurant 4 Stars.. I may possibly return in the future.. read more

Good sushi, good specials, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, good location, good hibachi, etc

I wish I could give it less than 1 star! We ordered the Tsunami Platter, fried calamari, beef pot stickers, and shrimp pot stickers. The calamari looked like frozen onion rings and were tougher than rubber bands. The pot stickers were tough and tasted as if they came from a pre-prepared freezer bag like the calamari. The sushi was inedible as well. The rice was falling apart and had ZERO seasoning in it. The fish was literally 1/2" thick which is way too thick for sushi. Instead of the umami flavor and texture of melting in your mouth, it was chewy with the only flavor anything on the platter had was due to the soy sauce and wasabi. Even the soy sauce was inedible, it tasted as if it were infused with the ginger on the platter that hardly anyone eats anyway because it tastes like soap. Be warned, the food looks NOTHING like the photos!! And I promise you, it's all downhill from there!! When you spend over $120 on a meal for 2 people, it should at the VERY least be edible!! read more

Food was pretty tasty, our waitress was young and seemed like we had a few lost in translation times.... but we conquered it. We did enjoy the beef potstickers, the chicken fried rice and my friend truly enjoyed the General t-So chicken. I usually only like brown fried rice( that is rice that is turned brown by soy sauce, however this yellow rice was tasty. They had a nice drink menu too! Cute little take out dishes too. I will go back again. Also we finally found where the Crazy Mason shop ( ice cream dreams go here) is....but that's for the next adventure. .l read more

We came in as a party of 5 on a Sunday at 6pm. The staff was polite but under staffed in the front of house. As soon as I walked in I couldn't help but notice there was a strange sticky, yet slimy film on the floor that seemed to cover all the floor. The service could have been better. From the first entree being served to our party, to the last member getting what they ordered was about 20 minutes. It left plenty of time for awkward remarks from the last person who got their food to insist for everyone else to please start eating before their food came out and to comment on the many empty cups of water neatly placed by each party member. As I walked from our table to the restroom, with every step, I could feel the slick and sticky film on the floor getting thicker. The men's bathroom is reminiscent of a hole in the wall dive bar in Asheville, NC with holes in the tile wall just to drive the point home. As I stand above the commode, feet no more than shoulder width apart, I could feel my feet sliding apart from the slick film that coats the floor of the establishment. I remember Tsunami being a little more professional a few years back. Between the slot machines placed right by the front door, the slime on the floor, and the subpar service I don't think I will be returning for another few years. read more

This is a great happy hour place. You can't beat the drink prices. Apps are good but I do wish there were a few more options that were fish or seafood for happy hour cost but my friends all rave about the sushi. It's a little dark inside but the staff is super friendly and attentive. You really can't beat the beer happy hour prices. Oh and you can sit outside in nice weather! read more

The food here is fine and would probably get it as a close takeout option, but the service is horrible. There were only 2 servers that ran the whole front end of the restaurant. It was very slow (over 1 hr) to get any food out and the orders also came out wrong. read more

Great sushi and is my go to spot, the ambiance is odd but they make great food, have an outdoor patio and are always friendly. If the inside was better to sit and have a nice dinner I would give it 5. So I stick with take out 90% of the time. If you like sushi this is a must try spot. read more

Tsunami is great! We stopped in for a late lunch. The place was pretty empty. My mom ordered the house soup and the shrimp and steak hibachi and I ordered a poke bowl and a philly roll. I was a little skeptical of the poke but I thought I would give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients were fresh. My mom enjoyed her hibachi as well. Our waiter was nice and attentive. The prices are reasonable. They offer happy hour 7 days a week and the specials seemed pretty good. I wouldn't mind coming back to check those out. read more

I really love the the food here and the prices are seriously amazing! The sushi happy hour menu is on point sushi rolls for $6 and $3! Drinks specials are $2/bud light $3/mimosa $5/Bloody Mary! Such a treat time here for family friends and events as well! They have specials and happy hour on the weekends as well which is very rare and such a great thing especially for sushi lovers like us! The owner Tony is great he's super friendly and treats you as family! The food is good too I like the sushi the beat the hibachi isn't where I would get it from but their appetizers are really tasty! Our favorites are the Philly roll and the rock shrimp! The seaweed salad and veggie tempura are great vegetarian options as well as for regular diets, soo good! Definitely come here for their happy hour menu! The servers are also super friendly and nice! The only reason I rated it a 4 was because everyone I've ordered pick up it has taken a lot longer than they said it would be and then they also got the order wrong as well but when we dine in it's great. read more

Not your basic sushi establishment , this restaurant is located on a corner store front of a shopping plaza. Shared parking is very close the restaurant , which leads to easy access inside. This is one of the top three sushi spots my wife and i attend . The inside is modern with asian touches of bamboo , coy fish subtle color tones that create a intimate dinning experience . There are two bar options , the sushi bar and the bar area . The bar area has several raised tables with plenty of seats at there fully stocked bar. Strongly suggest coming during happy hour , the sushi is also a great option , ample seating and several chiefs preparing fresh sushi before your eyes. Great customer service , very friendly staff , and never a shortage of waiters on staff. Very clean establishment , all the employees are helpful and always have provided great service !!!!! read more

Tsunami Mount Pleasant - Dragon roll and misu soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Service was fine. They were nice. The food was not good. We ordered crab Rangoon, some vegetable hibachi, and a sushi roll each. The crab Rangoon was stale in a way. The vegetable hibachi was so coated in sauce that it was not quite enjoyable. The sushi was not good. The fish cuts were messy and for $8-$16 per roll it was not worth it... it was worse than grocery store sushi. After each course they didn't clear the plates off the table so by the end there was a clutter of plates all over. We sat outside with our dog. They had the door to the kitchen open and inside you could see fly traps hung all over the ceiling with dead flies on them. Not very nice to look at but I'm sure there are grosser things. The overall ambiance somehow felt like a dive bar that smelled like a sushi restaurant. So do what you will with that. I would not recommend going here. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of one is because one is reserved for the worst of the worst and this wasn't that I don't think. read more

Worst sushi and teriyaki chicken I've ever had. Had to throw away the majority of my food because i couldn't stand the taste and I'm not a picky eat. I will never be eating here again.

Extremely busy establishment. Call and make a reservation if you can. They were flooded with take out orders. We were seated after about a thirty to forty minute wait.

The sushi was decent. I had the roll with cooked salmon on it. read more

I always marvel at how so many people can have so many different experiences and review accordingly. I believe every restaurant deserves 2-3 chances, 3 only if it came recommended by someone with whose palate I trust. A chef can have an off night, same with servers and bartenders, so with that said, I have eaten at Tsnaumi's locations 30 times perhaps. Every time, I left very satisfied from beginning to end. I am partial too the Mt. P location, as the bartenders there are great, they literally work any downtown club (and do) with ease, high volume is of no issue here. The sushi is good, its not Nobu but it is a great place to eat, chat relax and unwind in a nicely, dimly lit non pretentious environment. read more
