More of a 3.5 star place, but rounding up since I thought I got good value for the money and having…read moremore culinary options in an area is always beneficial. 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.

This place didn't disappoint even for someone who normally doesn't eat sushi all the time. The waiter was very helpful in ordering. The ambiance was small place with music playing in background. The most comfortable chairs at the table, especially for a large person. We tried the rice dish with beef, chicken and shrimp, fantastic! We tried the spicy noodle dish and that had a different flavor, which was great! We also tried two different rolls and that too was good. Then we finished off with a brownie platter dessert that our granddaughter destroyed because it was so good. We will definitely come back.

We started with the gyozas, which were really good. He got the dragon roll and I ordered the sexy roll. Both were tasty, but I especially loved the tempura crumbs on top of mine they added the perfect crunch and flavor. A few weeks later, I went back with my mom. We ordered the gyozas again, plus spicy edamame, fried rice, and of course, I had to get the sexy roll again. Most of the food was great, but unfortunately, the roll didn't live up to the first visit. It didn't seem as fresh, and the tempura crumbs were a bit stale this time. Overall, still a nice spot, but hoping for more consistency next time!

The server at the front, who had black curly hair and glasses, asked my mom for her phone number so they could contact us when our table was ready. My mom then went to the restroom. When our table became available, the same server called my mom. My mom missed the call ONE time because she was in the restroom. When she came back, the server immediately started questioning her about why she didn't answer and told her that if she didn't pick up, it was their policy not to seat us. The way she spoke to my mom was extremely rude and unnecessary, especially over one missed call. After that, she continued giving my family dirty looks, which made the whole situation even more uncomfortable. At that point, we decided to leave because we did not feel welcomed or respected at all. We came in expecting to enjoy a nice meal together after church, but instead we left feeling extremely disappointed by the way we were treated.

Ube Churros, Peruvian Choco bar, Hokkaido Melon Cheesecake. The tacu tacu was really amazing and cooked to my taste, medium. The ceviche had a bit of a kick to it but super tasty and it's great to share. Of the three desserts, I really liked the choco bar and the melon cheesecake. The choco bar would be great to someone who really likes dense and strong flavors. The cheesecake would be great to someone who prefers light and softer flavors. The churros was alright, I would skip this next time. This differently a place to have a fancy night out. It feels like you need to have a dress code but they're relaxed bout it.
