My first time at this Union Park location. Tsunami has never disappointed me. They are consistent in food quality across their locally owned Utah locations. Came in for dinner with a party of four and had a great experience overall. We ordered the crispy fried calamari, pork gyozas, and five rolls: the Tsunami, the Spicy Masa, the Vegas, the Jenny, and the Cobacabana. My favorite by a good margin was the Spicy Masa. The habanero sauce is spicy-delicious, with real heat but enough flavor that you keep going back for another bite. The Vegas and Tsunami rolls are crowd-pleasers, and the pork gyozas are a solid starter to share. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, no complaints there. The atmosphere is where I'd push them to level up. The decor is simple and modern, which is fine, but it doesn't create much of a mood, and the dining room gets loud fast. If you're hoping for a quiet, intimate dinner, this probably isn't the spot. For a casual night out with friends or family, though, the energy works. One tip: get a reservation, especially on weekends. Walk-ins can be rough. We skipped drinks and dessert and still landed at around $165, so it's not a cheap night out, but the quality justified the price. read more

**Update: Management called within an hour of this review posting and apologized, took responsibility, and said they would be talking to their staff and would be doing additional training. I appreciated them taking the time to hear me out. They comped the two hand-rolls - taking them off my bill and said he was surprised that had not happened. He also gave me a $15 credit on my diner account for future use to give them another shot. I do have to say the nigiri was great and the pieces of fish were huge! **************** Original Post: Hmm, it had been awhile since I had Tsunami. I wanted lunch sushi. They are open. The whole vibe was weird. First there was a big friendly welcome to the sushi bar "Hey! Ask questions! This is the best seat in the house!" Then, I asked what the hand roll of the day was, and none of the 5 people behind the sushi bar even looked up. When our server stopped by I asked her. She answered the question. The friendly guy who welcomed us to the sushi bar never returned. There were a handful of young chefs in training. A trainee admitted they were trying to make our sushi but said the real chef would probably return and re-do it. This wasn't said to us, it was said to other trainees, but I know what I ordered. Sure enough when the chef came back he looked at her work, she stepped aside and he went to work at the same spot. Eventually it was served to us and he asked how long we had been waiting and apologized for the wait. Where had he gone anyway? We also ordered the sushi roll of the day. It had three slices of jalapeños and those were SO HOT they were almost inedible. I love spicy food. This was crazy! It was a poke hand roll. When the jalapeño slices were removed, it was still atomic. We had also ordered a spicy yellow tail hand roll that was so bland that I asked if they had forgotten to make it spicy, or if we had forgotten to order the spicy one. Nope. So I put the jalapeños in the "spicy" hamachi hand roll because it just tasted like fish and mayo - yuck. I asked what was supposed to be in it. They told me. I told the sushi chef that there were no sprouts, no spicy mayo, just white mayo and chopped fish. He just looked at me. I asked if he was here when it was made. He said no. No one comped it. No one cared. It was super weird. I thought he might make a new one and make it better. Nope. No one asked how our meal was. We paid $110. The server watched to see which button I pushed for her tip. Awkward. We left. We got in the car and my 26 year-old said, "We should've gone to Sonic." I started laughing and said, "that absolutely sums it up!" read more

Tsunami is always the best and has become one of my favorite restaurants no matter which location. We've started a tradition with one of our friends to celebrate our birthday's here which just gives us more reasons to enjoy the food. The service is always spot on and attentive. The ambiance is great at all their locations. And the food is phenomenal whether you're getting sushi or bento boxes or the dinner plates. Our go too's are the Nagami, steak and asparagus in a ginger teriyaki sauce. 5/5 Tempura vegetables and shrimp. 5/5 Spare ribs appetizer. 5/5 Sushi rolls, PD, Executive, Sunrise. 5/5 Dinner plates with salmon and chicken. 5/5 Katsu chicken plate. 5/5 It's a must try if you're looking for good sushi and Japanese food. And it's a good value too. read more

My husband, FIL, and FIL's wife went to dinner here, and had a great time. We had a reservation and were seated a few minutes after arriving. Our server, Amelia, was super nice and quick to get our order. We all got Diet Coke to drink. Great brew, and they kept the refills coming as needed. For food, we shared the gyoza and calamari to start. I loved the gyoza. We got it pan seared and it had almost a smoky flavor to it. Super yummy. Calamari was good too. I liked the sauce it was with. For the rolls, we shared the Jenny, tsunami, spicy masa, cococabana, and the Vegas. Each one had great flavor and the fish tased fresh. The inside here is cute but really big and the acoustics carry. Overall, I'd highly recommend going here for a good sushi dinner. read more

I went to Tsunami in Midvale for a professional lunch with two colleagues and was impressed from the start. We had a reservation and were seated quickly in a calm, dimly lit space that felt elegant and perfect for conversation, though parking was a bit tough during the lunch hour. We started with the calamari, which was crispy, delicious, and paired perfectly with their tasty creamy dipping sauce. I ordered the Vegas roll and the Sunshine roll, and both were packed with fresh, bold flavors. Adding a little eel sauce to the Sunshine roll was a game-changer--so good that I'll be ordering it again moving forward. Service was flawless from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Any sushi lover should make their way to Tsunami for excellent rolls, delicious appetizers, and a refined lunch atmosphere. read more

After watching a movie at the theater across the parking lot, we were hungry. There were several restaurants in the area. This one looked interesting. There was no wait around 8 PM and we were seated in the upper level. The atmosphere was quiet and although the service was a little bit slow, we were happy with the food. We started with edamame and shishito peppers as well as miso soup. The yellowtail and spicy yellowtail hand rolls were really nice. Our son had the teriyaki chicken dinner and we shared the spicy masa roll along with sashimi style salmon and tuna. $110 for three is very reasonable. read more

Been here many times. Like the Ft. union location in particular. No wait when we arrived before 7pm on a Friday night. Good music and service. FOOD My husband and I been ordering and sticking to our favorites for years - Short ribs - Executive roll - Coconut Glory. For the first time I ordered the chicken katsu and it is a huge value for the price, $15.99. It comes with miso soup, chicken with no grisly bits smashed flat, just good clean chicken filet. There's salad, lots of rice, tempura veggies and two potstickers plus BBQ sauce and broth for dipping. Highly recommend the Chicken Katsu. read more

A great spot to stop by before a movie. The appetizers are solid and come out quickly, and the drinks are really good, perfect if you're looking for something fun and easy without committing to a full meal. My favorites are the mussel shooters, popcorn shrimp and shisito peppers. It has a lively vibe and works well for a quick, casual visit. While it's not my go-to for a full sushi dinner, it's a reliable pre-movie stop with tasty apps and drinks. read more

Finally we found our sushi spot! We went in a little late on Sunday and they graciously served us! Chris was a wonderful server and made some delicious suggestions. Great atmosphere, service in point and sushi was amazing. Thank you! read more

Tsunami is always a go-to for delicious and fresh sushi. They have a very big menu too and options for everybody. The service is good too! Just know what it can be slower on the weekends because they are so busy! The fire breathing dragon and DTH were my favorites but all of the sushi rolls our group had were super delicious. The Vegas is always a staple and was super yummy. I am always impressed with Tsunami and how fresh and flavorful everything is. It's definitely some of the best sushi around! read more

This location struggles. I have had repeated experiences where the food isn't prepared well. The steak and baby back ribs have tasted like leftovers and not fully warm. The other locations are great, I love the menu and the brand. It just seems to be a location issue. The South Jordan location is great. read more

Huge rolls with tons of fish, we shared a variety of rolls and couldn't finish. The fish was fresh and tasteful, the rolls were well created and maintained structure through transport. Would go again for sure. 2 edamame, 5 rolls was less than $100. Easy takeout service read more

We have a tradition of Christmas Eve sushi at tsunami! This year we had to go a few days early because of family obligations, but we wouldn't have missed it for the world! 4 years in a row this is where we've chosen to eat and it also one of our favorite date night spots! The food was phenomenal and the service was excellent as usual! Even our little guys couldn't get enough of our amazing server! For sure coming back here as soon as we can! read more

Our server, Jaime, made our birthday dinner for a friend and absolute wonderful experience. Friendly, attentive and accommodating of our odd requests-everything was fantastic. A good server can make or break a meal, and this one was certainly MADE! Not only was the hospitality fantastic, but the food was good too. Our group had a variety of sushi as well as a plated meal. Things were brought out quickly, drinks stayed filled and there was plenty to take home for later. This is a higher quality sushi joint, so you're paying a little more. But I believe that it's well worth it. read more

For date night, my partner and I went to Tsunami for sushi. I used to think sushi was always gluten free and delicious. Turns out, I was wrong. Tsunami has a gluten free menu and the main menu is labeled with GF and V. They offer tamari instead of standard soy sauce. We were able to walk right in and sit at the bar, which works well for us. We ordered the GF PD, samurai, and sunshine rolls. They were delicious and fresh. Our server was excellent, attentive when we needed something and scarce when we did not. She made a very good green dragon cocktail. I really enjoyed the cocktail with its interesting flavor profile. Location is conveniently off the freeway in Fort Union. There's ample parking. The restaurant is clean and nice. I will be back when we're in town. Thank you for the enjoyable date! read more

I have been going to this Tsunami for years and knew I needed to review it. It's a top "go to" place for me and my Fiancé, not only for Sushi, but in general. The parking isn't the best given it's in a strip mall with a movie theatre. Regardless, the sushi is incredible every time and its one of the only places I have visited that not only has a fully vegetarian rolls section on the menu but keeps adding/updating it. Plus, the service is always top notch. Super nice Servers and a quick ki Vegetable Tempura - Tasty deep fried vegetables with a light broth for dipping. Refreshing and a wonderful appetizer. Honey Badger Roll - Sweet vegetarian roll with Mango and tempura crunchies on top for a crunch! My absolute favorite and a must order. Hot Mamba - Fried roll to be a little more filling. Also vegetarian and with cream cheese. Has a really delicious taste. Another must order roll for me. read more

Not quite what we expected. Went for a friends birthday, a party of 12 that they separated into 2 groups of 6 in booths with a wall in between. Not super conducive to celebrating the person we're all there to support AND they charged us 20% auto gratuity. Outside of that, our server was so-so. Didn't check back on drinks or other needs from our table. She came by to take our order and deliver dishes, and deliver our bills, but NOTHING outside of that. She also seemed irritated by one of the people at our table asking for a take out container for something they couldn't really provide--a noodle & broth dish. Why wouldn't a restaurant provide everything to accommodate everything on their menu??? Food was decent, so compliments to the chefs, but beyond that, I don't care to back to this location again. read more

We were here 1hour before closing but the wait took 30mins . They still seated us and after asking about the menu server says they can do half orders of calamari so we said yes because were still full. Calamari never came and instead of accepting he missed putting in our orders server insisted he said they CANNOT DO IT. So annoying. Steak was disgusting not worth the money but giving a two star because the Sugarhouse roll is fair enough with taste read more

Service was good, and it wasnt too busy on a Saturday night for a party of 4 Ordered the salmon rangoon and wouldnt order that again. Very fishy taste, would much rather crab rangoon. Sunshine roll might have been my favorite out of the 6. read more

Food was not bad as far as sushi in Salt lake. Service was horrendous. First time it has been this bad after coming here many times. For room almost an hour for 4 rolls and the room was only half full. Waitress only came around twice in the hour and did nothing to to make us feel better. I've come here for a long time but will think about other options next time. Food was fine but not worth the absolutely rediculous service. We were not the only table as well, just about all of them had a similar experience. read more

I am not sure if this place has changed menu or management but the serving sizes are tiny compared to what the pictures on here make it seem like. The menu was also very small and didn't include any of the things I see here on Yelp. The service and food itself was okay but expensive for how little food it was. read more

I've been to Tsunami many times over the years but was so surprised by how much it had gone down hill until visiting last night. We made a reservation for three for my daughters birthday. When we got there, they asked if they could seat us upstairs. I didn't know what it was like upstairs so I agreed. But while walking upstairs I was confused because there were so many open tables on the main level. Upstairs was dark and it felt like a back room. So I asked to be reseated downstairs. They obliged - but it was very confusing. Our server was very nice and had some good recommendations. We ordered the gyoza as appetizers. They were so plain. They covered them in green onion and sesame and the green onion was shriveled (not fresh). We decided to order 3-4 rolls and the chicken teriyaki because I wanted my daughter to try some vegetable tempura. The chicken teriyaki came out and I couldn't have been more surprised. It was a dish with just a plain chicken breast with a little bit of teriyaki sauce barely dribbled on it but plenty of sesame seeds again. But the vegetable tempura was not tempura. It was not light and golden. It was brown. It appeared to be frozen vegetables, not fresh. But it was definitely not fresh oil it was fried in. It was so bad. The server agreed and took the entree off the bill. The rolls were alright. But the fish did not taste fresh at all nor did the tempura shrimp used in the rolls. No attention to detail. I was so confused as to why I had to make a reservation for 5:45 instead of 6 or 6:30. They had so much excess staff and tables our entire time we were there. The servers were standing around taking to each other, not filling up water unless asked (and no ice, no straws). Our server was very nice. But that was the only redeeming quality for what was supposed to be a nice celebration dinner read more

Visiting my brother in Utah and decided to come in to get some sushi only to be disappointed. The food itself was good- not the best sushi i've had but it was still decent. My issue was the service. Our server was Jason- and he seemed very off from our first interaction with him. He didn't seem friendly at all and I got the feeling he may have even been slightly annoyed. Could be because I came in with a group of 4 and we are all 21 so maybe he automatically assumed we wouldn't tip well. We ordered our food and I put in a drink order- which I saw them make and then sit on the well forever. 8 employees walked past it and did nothing, and our server was in the corner talking to another co worker. My drink ended up being brought over by one of the bartenders or bar backs WITH our food. Not sure if that's their "thing" but i've never had that happen. Definitely not my go to sushi place, if you want good service and better sushi i'd go elsewhere. read more

This is the best sushi in Utah. I've been going for years and it never changes-I don't get sushi anywhere else. I always get the rolls I like the most and have never been disappointed. Its not just the food-the remarkable thing is this restaurant and the staff is the whole experience. The minute I call to make a takeout order the person who answers acts like I'm a VIP customer. Once my order is placed I'm given a certain time to pick it up and the time is accurate. On occasion I'm a little early yet the front counter people are on top of my order, and go to check the status. Once I sit down to wait, the sitting area is comfortable and as long there are not other people talking to the staff I'm treated like a friend. I was so impressed after leaving with my order the last time I was there I called the manager to let them know about my outstanding experience. Thanks again!!! read more

As someone who has been a customer of Tsunami and would go with my family, I will no longer be returning to the Midvale location unfortunately. The service and atmosphere at this location has gone downhill as of late, along with getting rid of some of their best servers who created a pleasant atmosphere to be around in the past but are no longer present anymore. The sushi is also not what is used to be - overall, very disappointing to see as a customer. read more

Went on a busy Valentine's Day evening before we saw a movie. Sat at the bar and was served by Rachel. Her service was exceptional. Her drinks were delicious. She brought our food out quickly even though the restaurant was packed. She also brought out a huge serving of ginger which I appreciate bc sushi restaurants are pretty stingy w it. We got miso soup, cucumber salad and two rolls. Everything tasted good and we had a great experience. read more

My first experience at Tsunami was pretty solid! A group of us decided to grab dinner. We tried a dragon roll, Philly roll, salmon nigiri, chicken teriyaki combo and a dinner combo with chicken and salmon teriyaki. The dinner combos came with miso soup, rice, and veggie tempura along with your meat of choice. You definitely get a lot of food! The rolls were good too. I enjoyed the dragon and Philly rolls, they were exactly what you would expect. The salmon nigiri was solid as well. Overall, I would definitely return here when the craving strikes! read more

This was the worst dining experience I think we have ever had!!! We had reservations for a booth. When we got there they took us upstairs to a very small table which should have been for only 2 people. There were 4 of us!!! It was incredibly loud upstairs. The server was new so I won't say much about the service but it was a challenge to say the least. When our food arrived it over took the table!! We did not have any eating utensils no chop sticks no forks etc!! We had to ask a number of times then only got forks. The food tasted old and reheated. One of us ordered Teriyaki chicken and got NO teriyaki sauce! He asked for it at least 5 times. On the 5th time he had to yell at the server. We got absolutely no sauces with any of our food. My husband finally got a tiny bit of wasabi. I could keep going on but suffice it to say none of us would ever ever go back!! read more

Celebrating Japanese Girls Day, a day late but...what better way to celebrate w/the best Japanese food in town n the best waitress, Chisen (At Tsunami's at Ft. Union). What a perfect place to celebrate Girls Day. Their combo bento meals are the best way to try a couple of different dishes. Their teriyaki salmon, beef n chicken are pretty tasty, your soy based sauce w/garlic n ginger n sugar...yum! Sushi's are great n of generous portions. What can I say, it's just the yummiest! read more

Have always had a great meal here. But tried to go here on a weekend day, restaurant full of empty seating and a number of staff milling around, but they took our name, said it was a 10 minute wait, and just left the host station. Waited 10 minutes and they hadn't returned, no employee would make eye contact, so we left. If you can seat a party of three please just say so when we check in. It would have saved us 10 minutes and this review. Edit to add that the 10 minute wait certainly gave us ample opportunity to see how messy the host station was. read more
