A highly rated sushi restaurant right next to my hotel. What more could you ask for? I came here for dinner one night and the next day took my boss here for lunch. If you arrive for happy hour, try the truffle salmon. This place incorporates local faire like crawfish into some of its rolls and is not afraid to have a little fun with the food. Try a few appetizers. You'll enjoy any of the ones you pick. The service was great on both days. The restaurant was very accommodating to my requests. read more

The place was quiet, but it still took 50 minutes for me to four pieces of Nigiri. Steve spent the whole time complaining that the place was shutting down soon. I will never go to any of their locations ever again. read more

Food was good. They were short staffed so everything took a bit longer. Messed up order.

Stopped in here to grab a bite while waiting for a parade to begin. Great choice. My waitress Brooke was courteous. I had several nigiri, the tummy yellowtail, and the sashimi sampler, along with the vegetable medley. Everything was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the Haiku Zero mocktail which I highly recommend. read more

A friend had a birthday celebration here and this was the perfect spot to celebrate with a group of friends. We had a reserved area at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive! Tuesday is all night happy hour and the $6 lemon drops and combo were delicious. The bartender made a shot I believe its called "The Hunk" which was really good. I tried the fries and hash both of which were delicious. I also had a shrimp tempura roll and spicy tuna roll which were great. I'd like to go back try other rolls and entrees! read more

High quality fish that literally melts in your mouth. It feels like it's more on the fine dining side, but the prices were reasonable especially if you go during their specials on Tuesday, which is what we did. It was $7 for a tsunami roll and $1.25 per sashimi/nigiri. If you want sushi in New Orleans this is a good pick. read more

We sat at the bar and received excellent service. Drinks were strong and replenished quickly. Our rolls were delicious. I'm not sure their names since my husband ordered them for us. If you go and they have the dorito roll on special - Get it! So good! I'm still thinking about it!!! Always a good time with great service and fresh sushi at Tsunami. Highly Recommend! They also have a great happy hour during the week! Check this place out for great sushi! You won't be disappointed! read more

Tsunami Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Very cute place! Stumbled upon this place on yelp and I had to give it a try! I went during a weekday so it wasn't busy. The server was great and very attentive. He checked on us frequently which is always a plus. Chicken Torikata, scallops , smoke salt escolar, mushashi roll and another roll (forgot the name). Everything was so fresh! One thing I hate is going to a susho restaurant and all the sushi tasting exactly the same. This place is a great place for lunch or dinner. Can't wait to til my next visit. read more

Tsunami Sushi - Lava, Philadelphia and snow crab roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have been to the Tsunami in Lafayette and I really enjoyed it. It is quaint and the sushi is fresh. We came here on a Saturday night in Feb and it was not as quaint, but very spacious - probably a great place for groups. We ordered a few different types of sushi and they all came out super fresh and good. The dumplings were cripsy and I loved the sauce. The service was great, very attentive and kept my water full. The pricing was on the higher side. The parking is off street or you can park in the Pan Am building. Overall experience was good but not the best sushi in the city. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner since it was conveniently located next to our hotel. The interior is stunning and romantic, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the ambiance. The miso soup had an overpowering flavor that made it overly salty. The Thai "spaghetti" (a stir-fried noodle dish) was underwhelming--no beef available as an add-on, and the dish itself felt like a jumble of mixed vegetables with lackluster presentation. The yuzu albacore tuna tasted fresh, though the yuzu flavor could have been more pronounced, while the dynamite roll was just average. Service was attentive, and while this spot offers a pleasant atmosphere and convenient location, it's not the place to go if you're looking for authentic, high quality sushi. read more

Food was quite good and the restaurant was reasonably quiet, because we ate dinner early.

It was alright. The sushi was kind of a miss. Loved the edamame and the miso soup though. Our server was nice. I probably should've tried things besides just the sushi (the other two are appetizers not real dinner items). read more

Been a tsunami fan forever. Sushi is always so fresh. Service is great. It's a nice space located downtown New Orleans. They get busy on weekends so make a reservation or expect to try and snag a bar seat. My most recent visit was an early dinner during happy hour. They have great deals on drinks, 25% off all rolls 10 dollars and under, and deals on ngiri and sashimi. I was able to have a nice little dinner for a great price. Will continue to keep coming back!! read more

Located on the ground floor of the PanAm Building in the CBD, this restaurant is part of a small local chain with three other locations in Louisiana. The menu is extensive, offering a wide range of options. During our visit, we sampled several types of sushi and nigiri, fried rice, cocktails, and sake (made in La.!). Service left something to be desired, and overall, the experience was average--nothing stood out as particularly memorable. The total cost for two people, including tip, was $148. read more

Much like a real Tsunami, this place was hit or miss. The dumplings and yuzu tuna dishes were great, but the baked salmon was dry AF, and the eggplant and shrimp dish had TWO shrimp! C'mon man? Just call it an eggplant dish and skip the shrimp altogether if you're going to be shrimp shady! Also like a real Tsunami, it was dark and smelly. With the open kitchen, your reeked like a charred dumpster behind Long John Silvers. So don't wear your best clothes and plan on going out all night. The clubs thank you! The only reason we ended up here was it was so cold outside and it was right next to the hotel. I wouldn't go out of your way to go here, but if you do, keep it simple and don't get that baked salmon dish. Blech! read more

Food was good, drinks good, the main problem I had was one of the bartenders got into my conversation and told me my phone couldn't be on speakerphone. She didn't ask me any other questions on why I had my phone on speakerphone, just came and interrupted me. I do not like having my phone to my ear , she could have politely asked me to step outside or something. Very rude , needs to be retrained or moved from the property. I come here a lot and spend good money here, service skills suck!. Her name is Ruby ... no way Jose !!! read more

My favorite happy hour in the city! Get the cosmo, get the yellowtail, get the crab salad. Just get everything and report back.

I was in town visiting and some friends and I stopped here for dinner. The big easy roll was delicious. This is a deep fried roll with all of the fixings. The ambiance was nice but our waiter was a little slow with service. I wanted to get the attention of the manager but I figured she was just busy and was trying her best. Overall I would come back. read more

Tsunami Sushi - Big Easy Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My coworkers and I decided on Tsunami for dinner after a few recommendations from the locals on how great this restaurant is - luckily we came on a Tuesday evening and were surprised to find one of the best happy hour deals! On Tuesdays, happy hour specials run from 3pm - 9pm and include $6 Martini's: House Martini, Lemondrop, Cosmo, & Apple-Tini $5 House Wine, Select Draft Beers & House Sake (Cold or hot) $5 Single Well Liquors $4 Domestics Bottles 25% off all rolls $10 & under. What a deal! I decided on a lemondrop (delicious!!), we shared a few of the specialty rolls, a rice dish, and of course we had to take advantage of the 25% off rolls under $10 so we ordered a couple of those as well. The three rolls we tried were: - Big Tuna $16.00 Tuna, cream cheese, jalapeno, soy wrapped, panko fried, with ponzu & sriracha sauces - Don Tuan $18.00 Tuna, crunchy shrimp, cream cheese, cucumber, snow crab mix, avocado, spicy graham cracker, Kazan, and Sriracha sauces - Renzo My coworkers remembered the Niku-Kimchi fried rice from a previous visit and raved about it, so we added that to the order. The two more basic rolls we ordered were a spicy tuna and negihama, and there were exactly as you would expect. My favorite roll was the Big Tuna and that's mainly because I'm a sucker for cream cheese in sushi rolls (sorry to my ancestors). The combination of raw tuna, cream cheese, a kick from the jalapeno, and the blend of creamy sauces works so well here. I still think about this roll often and can't wait to come back to have it again! The Niku-Kimchi fried rice was delicious, however, I'd prefer less kimchi - at times it felt like an overload. The beef in the fried rice tasted great. Overall, service was fantastic and never skipped a beat. You definitely can't go wrong with sushi and drinks specials until 9pm Tuesdays. Great vibes, delicious food, nice deal, good atmosphere - I'll be back soon! read more

The restaurant is a beautiful open space with many seating arrangements with big windows and a nice playlist in the background. The spicy edamame was a little different than expected--it had more of a hot sauce base than a traditional chili seasoning, but I didn't mind the twist. Both of my sushi rolls were amazing and surprisingly filling. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and solid portions. I ordered the Haiku 0 mocktail, which was super refreshing but had a slightly overpowering cucumber taste. Still enjoyable, just a bit strong on that one note. Overall, really solid spot with quality sushi and creative options. Would definitely return. read more

Our dinner plans changed and we were a drop in. Despite having no reservations, they accommodated us swiftly. Staff was amazing and restaurant was clean well appointed and comfortable. Living in Japan for over a decade, I'm pretty particular on my Sushi. Tsunami was right on point with every dish. A lot of sake choices draft beer was cold and welcoming. We will go there again. read more

Average sushi and over priced. Shogun is better and less expensive. The restaurant is in desperate need of a remodel. Not nearly as good as when it first opened. read more

Dined here with coworkers for lunch and was impressed. A short walk from the office, we were greeting by their friendly staff and were sat immediately. The restaurant was spacious and had an overall clean feel. I ordered the bento box with the grilled salmon and it was the perfect portion size. It came with a choice of sushi rolls.I chose the Dynamite roll. It was a great blend of sweet and spicy. The Cucumber salad was refreshing and the fruit was a cute touch. It also came with the miso soup which was too salty for my liking. Overall good experience and they handled our party well with no issues or mix-ups. read more

I had a hankering for some sushi while I was in town. This place wasn't too far from where I was staying and had good reviews. The atmosphere inside is low lights and vibey. I sat at the bar and the service was great! I got the 40 Days Mocktail which was super tasty! I started with the Snow Crab Salad and while it was a great portion size and flavorful, it was just a little too mayo for my taste. I prefer my crab salads to be lighter. I ordered two special rolls (Don Tuan and Father Calais) both were fresh and great amount of fish inside. There was just too much unnecessary rice on the Don Tuan, they cut the rolls super thick. Overall it was a good experience but nothing too spectacular in taste. read more

The host was great and my server was very pleasant as well. However, there were a few hiccups during this visit. The order for one of my guest was entered incorrectly and the wrong dish was served. When the server was notified she informed us that she was aware and realized she entered the order in wrong. Which is an honest mistake but she was aware of the error and was not going to resolve it until we mentioned it to her. I requested a sauce for my meal and it was not brought out until I was almost finished eating although I requested it 4 times. The decor is amazing and gives date night or a night in the town with your girls vibes. The food was great. I will be back because although there were hiccups the food and customer service were great and they resolved the issues. read more

Tsunami Sushi - Black and Gold Roll Fried Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Came here to catch happy hour (ends at 6) Got a lemon drop martini for $6. IIt was really good! For happy hour, rolls under 10$ are 25% off so I was able to grab a crunchy roll (tempura shrimp) and a rajun Cajun (friend alligator) plus the drink for under $20. Can't beat that! Next time I would ask for the rajun Cajun without the sauce as imo the sauce was too sweet and didn't go well with the fried alligator. Other than that everything was great and I'll definitely be back! read more

We brought a group of 5 of us into Tsunami. We were seated immediately and the service was great. We got some spicy edamame for the table. It had a great flavor to it. We ordered about 8 different rolls and they put them on one giant platter. It was cool seeing how well presented all the rolls were. They were crafted with care! The flavors were fantastic! From the California roll to the fresh tuna, and all the specialty rolls, everything tasted fresh and clean! I will definitely come back! Thank you! Great food, great service! read more

My sister and her husband always talk about this and we were able to finally give it a try. This sushi did not disappoint! They had a great menu, but most come for the sashimi and rolls. The ambiance was lightly lit so it's a great spot for date night or just a night out. The location is nice and the decor was really pretty. It was completely packed so I highly recommend making a reservation. The staff was very much and everyone was hustling. Great food spot! read more

This is some darn good sushi. We were between Tsunami Sushi and another sushi restaurant, but we definitely chose extremely well. We were seated at a high top in the bar area and had an amazing server who helped guide us on our choices. Our party shared rolls and decided between hot, cold, raw, and cooked. For appetizers, I cannot recommend the miso eggplant enough - wow! When it came time for our checks, we had a strange request since some of our bill was being paid through work, but the staff was able to accommodate us and were incredibly friendly while helping us on this. There atmosphere is definitely more high end sushi, so this would also be a great date place. read more

If you're a fan of sushi, especially raw fish, Tsunami has become my ultimate happy hour destination. This place has it all: freshness, flavor, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The star of the show at Tsunami is undoubtedly the Truffle Salmon. The salmon is always incredibly fresh and has a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery quality that keeps me coming back for more. Whether you're indulging in sashimi, nigiri, or a specialty roll, you can taste the quality in every bite. Tsunami doesn't just excel in sushi; their happy hour drinks are equally impressive. The cocktail menu features a variety of creative and refreshing options, each perfectly complementing the food. I particularly love their signature cocktails, which are well-balanced and flavorful without being overly sweet. Whether I'm sipping on a classic sake or trying one of their inventive mixed drinks, the beverages enhance the overall experience. I often visit Tsunami with my best friend, and it's become a cherished ritual for us. We order an array of dishes, share everything, and enjoy the lively atmosphere while catching up on life. The vibe is friendly and laid-back, making it easy to relax and chat. It's the ideal place for laughter and conversation, with the bustle of other patrons creating a sense of community. The ambiance at Tsunami is another reason I keep returning. The restaurant is always clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall positive experience. The decor strikes a balance between modern and traditional, creating a warm environment that's both inviting and stylish. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, ensuring that we feel welcome from the moment we walk in. read more

5 stars for happy hour. The prices are great. $6 select cocktails, $5 sake, half-off on specials, and 25% off all rolls $9 or less. There's more (see photos) but this is just what I enjoyed. Good, strong drinks and fresh sashimi (I got the yuzu albacore tuna). I also tried a gator roll as well because why not? I'm in New Orleans. Nothing special about it, but it was good. Very chill on a Wednesday night. I sat at the bar, but you probably don't need a reservation on weekdays. The staff is friendly and the service was good. Enter on St. Charles (there's no Poydras entrance). read more
