When it is busy, expect to wait. But wait is worth it as the My My Mahi was excellent as was the Emperor roll. We had an order of the Shumai and house salads w/ ginger that were well appointed with cucumbers and tomato. Eel was so good we had 4 pieces and added the smoked salmon. The conch was just OK. Our server was OK, but the hostesses were very pleasant. Reserve a table on OpenTable for 100 points. Saleeby Score: Food: 7/10, Service 6/10. read more

OVERPRICED VERY OVERPRICED and mediocre... I am new to the east coast coming from expensive San Diego and I ordered some takeout from this place only because I was really craving some Chicken Katsu and this is the only place around that know of that serves it. The quality for the price is ridiculous! I could get the same thing back home for less than half the price! The best thing about my meal was the salad... sad to say. Chicken was ok, rice was yucky and salad was tasty. Price = :( Quality of food = :( Food was hot and on time = 1 star Prepared well = 1 star and 1 star for the hell of it.... read more

My son and I stopped here for a nice Friday night meal. The dining room was empty with only 3 tables including us. This was a sign of what was to come. It was very dark in there and had great difficulty reading the dark menu. The service was fine for us. Only 2 servers in the main dining room.The food was not good at all. We started with the fried calamari, tuna tataki, house salad and squid salad. The calamari was fine, but they literally only gave "5" rings which is totally unacceptable as a portion. It was laughable. The tuna was alright, but it was mostly a spiral of connected cucumber. It was a foot long connected string that to eat, you had to take a bite and break it off with your hands every time. It made no sense. Then the squid salad, it was a mess. It tasted really fishy, bad. Again the dish was loaded with a foot of stringy cucumber ribbons that you had to rip apart with your hands while eating. They don't provide a knife in the silverware with the paper napkin. They are cutting corners all over the place and using inferior quality products and beefing up dishes with loads of dirt cheap cucumbers to save money. The house salad was fine. Our entrees came next and we both opted for hibachi. My son got the vegetable one which was fine, but very expensive for a handful of vegetables and rice. I got the steak and scallops hibachi and the steak was tiny nuggets that were very chewy. The scallops were ridiculously tiny, again a "cost cutting" measure in order to save money for the restaurant. We were very disappointed in the quality, beefing up of dishes with cheap items and nonsense of "5" rings of fried calamari. The hibachi entrees no longer offer a small cup of broth or small salad. Our family will not dine here again. The 90 bucks for a bunch of "cucs" and pitiful sub-par protein is not something we are willing to pay for again. You're probably as happy with this review, as we were with our meal. read more

First of all Gordon Ramsey needs to come and help this establishment. The service was HORRIBLE. I walked in and only got starred at no hello or anything. Had to ask if I needed to seat myself because I was standing at the host stand for about 10 mins without any communication. I ordered sake for it to be cold , sent it back for a new one and that was cold you would think ice cubes was in it. Sushi took about 30 mins to get to us mind you there was only 3 tables occupied in the whole restaurant. It's just a no for me . Highly disgusted. read more

Service was great! Waitress was knowledgeable and answered my many questions. My friends loved the Sushi and I ordered Hibachi steak and shrimp. The Hibachi could of been better tho, overall we had a good experience and would return next time we are in Mt. Pleasant. read more

Tsunami Mount Pleasant - Hibachi steak and shrimp w/onions only - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Used to frequent Tsunami and bring friends multiple times a week. We always get the same thing, but as of late the consistency as well as the quality of everything we order has gone downhill. The service has as well. The ginger salad dressing used to be something we would make a trip on alone. That has tasted off the past few times we have visited. Our orders have been coming out incorrectly and inconsistently. The restaurant is never staffed appropriately, no matter which day of the week. It's never really busy, yet the food takes a long time to make it to the table. We gave it another shot after having a bad experience with takeout two times in a row and we won't be back. Time to find a new sushi restaurant. read more

I've been coming here for years. I've never been disappointed once. The place is always immaculate and the food divine. The staff is quick to serve and always pleasant to deal with. read more

Horribly run restaurant. Only two servers that ran the entire front house, waited 40 minutes for a canned drink that never came. Management has some serious issues to work out. Been to many Tsunami locations in SC, but won't be returning to this one. read more

Gross. All around terrible experience. No one was working. I wanted to walk out but husband was starving. He's semi retarded for staying but hangry wins. No music, no people. Clear soup was probably chicken broth from a can. Steak was chewy and prob frozen. One semi moronic waitress. Put her hands all over my bowl and plate when brought to table. I assumed I'd have food poisoning . I'm embarrassed that I stayed and ate there . Don't go read more

While visiting Isles of Palm enjoyed a late nite dining. Awesome meal. Tempura shrimp were great, shrimp fried rice and California rolls were perfect. The food was fresh and not overly seasoned. Service was excellent. Will most definitely come back. read more

Solid chineese food, not the best but decent. Havent tried the sushi but the mongolian beef and the tender flavor chicken (general tsao) are worth a try. In a town lacking in asain choices, I would say Tsunami is worth a try. I wish they would do a better job cleaning their bathrooms. Lost a star for that. read more

Solid Japanese cuisine. If you are looking for Japanese, you wont be disappointed, but nothing overly exciting, either. Depending on the night, the sushi is either very good or excellent, and very rarely has been just good. My family and I are regulars, and have enjoy most every meal we've had here. read more

Great deals on Food and drinks, I think their Happy hour is in the ealy evening AND late night. They serve food pretty late. The staff is young and friendly and the bar is mostly filled with locals. They have a great big outdoor area with tv's and the sushi bar is always enjoying. read more

Delicious sushi and pad thai. My favorite roll is the volcano roll and the crab salad on top is soo yummy.

Ordered food on door dash. Was told it would take 35 minutes and two hours later still no food. Door dash contacted the restaurant and apparently were told they were having a busy night. Waiting over two hours for food is completely unacceptable. read more

Really good option for sushi in Mount Pleasant. They have an extensive menu offering normal rolls to specialty rolls to hibachi among others. Their tuna tataki is a really good appetizer and the deluxe crunch is my favorite roll. They have a really good happy hour with $1 bud/light and discounted food options. read more

Had a great time here last Friday with a group of my buds. Sat in the bar area at a high top. Ordered a variety of rolls and apps along with plenty of beer and sake. Great time good food and fun place for sushi. read more

Servers are very nice and the vibe is cool. Good music playing. Appeared clean. I attempted to order short tibs but they were out. So it was happy hour and I opted for the crispy wontons, shrimp pot stickers, and my.my.my. Crispy wontons are garbage. They are all cream cheese, no crab and they're hella sweet. No need for the sweet n sour in the middle cuz it does nothing to tone down the sweetness of the cream cheese. Shrimp pot stickers we're good. Crispy bottom with good shrimp flavor but that may be what it was... Just shrimp flavoring. My.my.my was ok but the sauce on top tastes like thousand island dressing. Totally grossed me out. I just scooped it off. My server went missing for a while. I waited for the check for a good 20min and she was no where. Happy Hour is 4-7. Apps are between $3-5, Classic sushi is $5, and specials are $7... Or something like that. As I'm typing this, I pushed all my plates away and still can't get a check. Dine n dash maybe???? No. But I thought about it. read more

I got take out here and I was really pleased with my rainbow roll sushi and chicken fried rice. Not to mention the prices are really good! Definitely try this spot if you're looking for a casual Japanese restaurant and for good takeout! read more

Ordered to go food for lunch with their online ordering option for pick up. Arrived within 5 minutes after time for pick up and stood at register. Four of the employees saw me and never acknowledged me, only until around 20 minutes I had been standing there after the girl had finished a text approached me and asked how she could help me. Told her I had a pick up and gave her my name. She tried to over charge me and then showed her my confirmed itemized receipt. Made sure to ask that there were NO MUSHROOMS due to an allergy to the girl whom I watched package my meal, she said yes. Then asked the girl who rings me up for utensils to make sure they were in there as well. When I finally got to eat my meal I had a not so good feeling.. come to find out the shrimp spring rolls I had ordered were filled with diced mushrooms buried in the cabbage and barely any shrimp. Will not return. Horrible service and couldn't pay attention to a detail for an allergy. I now am paying a price for their mistake. read more

a good place to satisfy those late night sushi cravings one has every so often. serving food till around 11:00 and 12:00pm with your usually expected favorites and some personal twists on known dishes. you won't be disappointed! decor and ambiance are standard, with a welcoming bar and a huge patio space (smoking allowed). happy hour and night menu vary during the week. if you live in the vicinity and have a hunkering for raw fish or tempura you can trust in a satisfying meal dining-in or for takeout. read more

Great sushi, everything is great. I have never ordered any that wasn't great. It said my review was short, but when it is the best in Charleston its just the best. read more

I've eaten here several times and had to go several times in this restaurant and experience has never been pleasant. It's been a while since I've ordered here so I thought I'd give it another shot they just advertised a delivery menu. I was told it would take 45 minutes and 90 minutes later it arrives the soup that I ordered that wished I was told it would be a court is a point the sushi's been tossed all over the place and looks like been turned upside down. My recommendation stay away stay away stay away read more

This is my favorite place to go on my lunch break. They have the best specials if you look on their website, I haven't seen specials like they have anywhere else. Their staff is incredibly nice as well. I've always had great experiences here, the vibe is laid back and friendly. Sushi is incredible, my favorite in Charleston. read more

We sat on the patio with our 2 year old. There was a very loud drunk couple arguing, and 3 old men smoking at the table next to us. The service was pretty average, the sushi tasted like what you can buy pre made from the grocery store. We had to get up and go inside to ask for our check. We asked for fried rice for our daughter and we were brought white rice with what tasted like soy sauce. Probably won't be back read more

Eat at Tsunami yesterday. Our waitress(short girl with glasses) was not service oriented at all. We spilled water on our table and after 30 minutes of her not checking on us (not even walking by) I had to get up and ask her to bring us some napkins and ask for a refill for my friend. The food took over 35 minutes to arrive (crab wontons, really, 35 minutes?), even though the restaurant was pretty much empty. The annoying thing was that we saw our waitress stand and chat with the other waitresses rather than working. I shouldn't have bothered given her a tip, because she did not do anything. I ended up asking another waitresses to bring our bill after another 20 minutes of just sitting there waiting while watching our waitress chitchat with her back against our table. The food is good but please hire better people or have a manager on the floor making sure people get proper service when they go to your restaurant. read more

Tsunami is a hidden gem in my mind...not that people dont know about the place but I really feel like people don't have any idea how good their happy hour deals really are. All house liquor drinks are $2 from 4-7 along with half priced appetizers. It's not a small selection of appetizers either...there are many things on their that really are full meals. Personal favorites include the Seabiscuit, Karaage, Crab Wontons, and the Tuna Tartar. Dave and Craig are the normal full time bartenders and both are great...go visit them, they'll treat you well. read more

My new favorite sushi place. Big enough that you can take your kids and not bother anyone. I love that I can have any kind of Asian here- from pad thai to sushi to Mongolian beef to Panang curry- and it is all amazing! I had the Sex on the Beach Roll and the Angry Dragon. Big variety on the menu and a great Happy Hour every day, drink specials plus all sushi rolls 1/2 off. Service was fab and food was delicious and beautifully presented. read more

I used to be a huge fan of Tsunami because their food and service used to be good. Tonight a friend and I tried to grab a bite there. I walked in and said hello to the hostess who was hiding behind a computer. She sat us with little to no words exchanged. We sat there and figured out our order. Then we sat. And sat. For 7-10 minutes. No one came to our table, no one even acknowledged that we were there. They also weren't busy at all. Maybe 10 people in the entire place. The hostess had less than 0 of a personality and after waiting for almost the full 10 minutes, we got up and walked out. I let the hostess know that no one had served us and she just stared at me like I was an idiot. Still a little confused by the whole thing, but we are going to Locals for better sushi and a better atmosphere!! I won't be back. read more

The food is tasty and the fish tastes fresh. However the service seems lacking and the variety in the menu is nothing exciting. Took a long time to place my order and even longer to actually get my food. Often times I had finished with the course I was on and still had to sit and wait an excess of 10 minutes for my next item. They did not seem very busy. Probably wouldn't return. read more

Went to tsuanmi last night (monday) which is 1/2 off night had a party of only 4 keep in mind. We arrived around 6:45 and after waiting 13 mins for 2 cosoms and 38 mins for an app and another hour for our sushi we didnt leave the resturant untill 9pm the server was unapologic and the manger was just as bad. After we even told her what it was to compensate us that would make us happy she left the table and said she would have to "think about it" her being the manger we werent sure who it was she would have to discuss this issue with; we asked for our app to be comped and a round of drinks. THATS ALL. she handled the situation very unprofessionally and clearly had no inexperience, hence why there was a sign on the front door that said they were hiring for mangers. Will not ever be going back. Service was unacceptable and managment was awful!!! HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

We travel a lot, and we are in town for a few months for work. This is, hands down, favorite sushi spot in the mt. Pleasant/charleston area. The sushi and hibachi are fantastic! Great service and atmosphere as well :) We will be returning!! read more

Service was fine, I was having an enjoyable time out on the patio until a women with not one, but two very large and smelly german shepherds selfishly decided to seat. These were not service animals, just two very large dogs with their hair and dander blowing all over everyone's food and drinks with heavy breathing. Very unsanitary and gross. I'm not against pet policies in any way, I'm against lack of common sense by management using discretion in dining areas. No consideration for those with allergies to animals or for those who wish for a clean dining experience. Better conditions would've occurred by eating outside a dog park! Just nasty! read more

On our last night in Charleston, my boyfriend and I wanted to have a low key night, order some take out, and relax. We decided on sushi and began looking for a place to eat. On the recommendation of his father who used to live here all the time and still visits at least once a month, we landed on Tsunami. We ordered two sushi rolls, one fried oyster and one crunchy crab. Both were delicious, but the crab was my favorite. We also got an order of "tender chicken" which was described as general tsos (our go to). I enjoyed the chicken, but my boyfriend was not impressed. Both of us like it to be more spicy, which this was not. I still thought it was flavorful and that the chicken was good. My boyfriend would not even eat the leftovers, which never happens. Although we got take out, the service we experienced when we picked up our order was pleasant. It was ready when we got there and the hostesses were very friendly. We also saw a sign for 99 cent bud lights, so it seems like they have some good deals going on throughout the week. read more

Sushi great service sucks. I had the male blonde waiter and couldn't hardly get my check or his attention over the hostess he was flirting with the whole time!!! read more

Came here on Sunday night and waited for AT LEAST 10 minutes for someone to greet us or at least get us water. NOTHING. Several servers walked past and the manager even saw us sitting there. NOTHING. We got up and walked out. Even the hostess that had JUST sat us waved bye and said "have a good night" in her most upbeat voice and didn't even put 2 and 2 together. They were not busy at the time and there were even 2 un-bussed tables beside us which was just a sign of laziness. We went right down the road to Yamato and were instantly greeted with great service. We love Tsunami and go almost every Sunday night. We more than likely won't return. read more

Eww. Manager standing out on the sidewalk smoking when we walked in. He follows us in with his cloud of cigarette smoke engulfing us and starts complaining about how busy they were & understaffed. We would have left immediately but we were in a hurry & just decided to make it quick. Waitress was very nice, super young and awkward, but precious. Ordered simple sushi - it took 40 minutes to get our food and it was sub-par at best. Will not be returning to this place. read more

Great lunch special at a good price. Really nice outdoor patio

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Charleston. The downtown location is good too, but this one is nicer. I always start the meal off with the sea biscuits for an appetizer. I normally only get sushi here, but my friend had the teriyaki chicken and it was great. I can never remember which sushi I got the previous time, but I always try to order something new, and I'm never disappointed. I would highly recommend this restaurant read more
