    Salmon. Eel roll

    This is ALL YOU CAN EAT so you do have to finish what ever you ordered. I suggest order 2-3 small dishes at a time. They do allow a la cart options on a different menu. But this review is the AYCE experience only. My mom and I came here twice in one week. After the first time, I learned to just go for the sashimi, they are great and beautifully decorated. Some of the other dishes weren't too bad. It's more for comfort food. It's $30 a person so it's a pretty good deal for what they serve. The service is in the works. They just opened about a week or two ago from this post. There is no time limit so come in knowing to be patience . When they take your order, they send it via iPad. Sometimes the chefs miss one or two so just keep a mental note so you won't accidentally triple order the same dish and ask your waiter/waitress what's the update. Personality wise, they're super nice and sweet. My mom and a great time talking to the owner and a few of the other staff. The place is clean and they clear your table as you finish your dishes. Parking is free and out front. And behind the restaurant.

    20 piece sashimi- hubby had 3 orders and they all came out beautifully.

    Hubby says "Effing Awesome"! Quality= Excellent Value = Excellent Service = Excellent We live an hour away but if we're in McAllen, we make it a point to grab dinner there. The 20 piece sashimi alone is worth it.

    Quite literally the best lunch deal you can find in McAllen. For an AYCE experience, $18.95 is truly unbeatable. The menu is extremely extensive, and I love that sashimi is also included in the AYCE experience, which is very rare in many places. My family and I came for Black Friday lunch, and while extremely packed, the waiters had no trouble accommodating our group of 11 people! They were extremely kind and were very quick to handle all of our orders. They brought all of our items, despite the large amounts we were ordering. They did have some weird items on here that weren't as tasty as I expected, such as the spicy tuna roll and calamari. I am not used to having cucumber in my spicy tuna rolls, so I made sure to remove before eating. My favorite dishes were the unagi and edamame. Please skip out on the spicy garlic edamame and only eat the regular, I definitely made that mistake! I would 100% come back here if I were craving some sushi.

    Great service and ambiance. Food was delicious. Would go again. It was a great price for all you can eat!

    Let me tell you something brather Umiya Sushi is amazing. I will elaborate, close your eyes and picture this beautiful Asian style restaurant the lighting is amazing there's a ceramic cat statue took a hard pic witit. There's cherry blossom looking trees, the symmetry is very admirable. They got me and my family a seat very quickly. I got the all you can eat, (30$dinner), I ate a lot. I'll put some pictures but everything was spectacular and quick. Our waiter was very nice and explanatory as it was our first time he used words like "tickling." Very sushi smart guy. I am itching to come back and I will be back soon ‼

    Umiya has a great lunch deal as it costs only $18.95 for an all you can eat menu that has great variety. You do, however, risk losing quality at such a low price. I'm a big fan of asian food & the food was 3.5/5 stars. The fried calamari was my favorite. The place is partially decorated nicely. It does look overly crowded and a bit tacky. Do not mistake this restaurant for a fancy night out, it is a casual, family or lunch date, restaurant. I got all three plates that I ordered with 5 minutes of ordering each of them. My partner did not. He received all 3 plates he ordered in 15-20 minutes. We did not mind the wait. Our waiter was great! If you are a fan of buffets and understand that great prices sometimes mean a little less quality, you will probably be coming back to this restaurant after your first time.

    Drives me insane when they serve fish paste.

    I have been here for lunch a couple of times. $19.00. I enjoyed it. It's not the full menu at lunch but there is plenty to choose from. I highly recommend it. Best sushi I have found in the Valley so far.

    I saw a bunch of adds on instagram and TikTok to try this place, saying it was better than Fujiyama…read moreHibachi nearby and Trenton, and that place is very good to me so I should known when these Food Vloggers started to talk smack about another place, clearly paid to do so. The food was terrible. I'm on a diet so I opted for a white meat chicken bowl with the veggies as a base. I asked for spicy chicken and it was almost $18! The chicken was extremely dry and extremely chewy, it's like they gave me the bottom of thr barrel chicken breast and 50% of the chicken was very small in size and dried out. They doused it in hot sauce and that's the only thing I could taste. The veggies were old and didn't taste fresh at all. 90% cabbage, 5% broccoli and 5% zucchini. What a waste of money and I was extremely excited to try this place. No wonder it's not packed or anyone in their parking lot. I usually would go back and demand a refund but I was defeated for the day, working in the sun most of the day and just very busy. I wanted a nice health comfort meal and instead I threw it in the trash and went to Whataburger. Don't believe the hype, this is worst teriyaki place I've tried since those bad restaurants in the food court at the mall. Trust me people, spend you hard money elsewhere and don't fall for the ads

    I ordered the food to go but I still got off the car to order. As a wheelchair user it wasn't as…read moreaccessible if I wanted to eat in the restaurant. The tables didn't allow for my powered wheelchair to fit into a standard height table and the bar height table is too high. The food though, I ordered the orange chicken spicy and teriyaki chicken spicy. They were both delicious! I will say that if you're not used to spicy food the "spicy" option might be too spicy, maybe order the sauce on the side so you can add in as much as you'd like. I would definitely be back to order food to go!

One thing that really stood out was the variety of vegetarian options--they had so many choices, and they definitely didn't feel like an afterthought. We tried several different dishes, including crispy tofu, veggie bowls loaded with fresh vegetables, and vegetarian bao buns, and every bite was delicious. The vegetables were fresh, the sauces were packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. Whether you're vegetarian or just looking to try something different, this is definitely a place worth visiting. The food was fresh, the service was quick, and everything exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be coming back!

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.
