Reviews Tsunami Sushi

I came with friends to meet more friends for a small birthday dinner. We wanted to sit at the sushi bar but we were a party of 5 and the sushi bar was full so we waited at the alcoholic bar for some seats to free up. We got cocktails, hot sake, and appetizers. Bartenders were friendly and gave us the right amount of attention. The food was good but the cocktails were what I loved. The Haiku is delicious. We all chose different cocktails and neither of us were disappointed. They were awesome. We decided to just get a table since they were going to close soon. Our server was nice and our food was great. Definitely would recommend and come back

The service and the food were absolutely phenomenal. Loved it! Highly recommend it. We had the munchie roll, green monster roll, dragon roll and hung lo roll. We also had Ika fries. So delicious! The presentation of the plates was beautiful.

I hate to give this place 4 stars. Honestly think it deserves 5 stars based on food and atmosphere, but I feel obligated to give my experience. The service was not great... The waitress was very kind and helpful, but completely forgot our appetizer. Then later we ordered drinks and it took 15 minutes for them to come out. We were done with our meal by that point. 3/5 for service. The food was great though. Sashimi dinner was very fresh and the sushi rolls were very good. Thai pasta was delicious, and it was a very large portion (be warned in case you also order sushi). Brussels were the only thing that were so so. Not bad, but not great. Overall definitely a 5/5. Atmosphere is very cool. Tables are spaced well, good music that is not too loud, and a cool bar. 5/5.

Great place. Right in the middle of downtown NOLA. Lots of corporate folks coming in to eat. Food is great & service as well. Fried calamari was amazing. Definitely ordering that again when I’m back here. Baked salmon sushi was our no. 1 on this plate.

Very nice sushi place! All the rolls were very tasty and the qualitybwas good . nice service as well. Would recommend if you get tieed of Nola typical food.

Booked a reservation for my daughter’s 18th birthday. Food was good. We had a server being trained and he was working really hard. Everyone was pleased with their food. My sushi was not my favorite but their fried rice is so good!! It’s different and unique. If you are looking for the usual super greasy fried rice you get at any other restaurant, you may be disappointed. The Brussels sprouts dish was seriously amazing. They treated my daughter to a birthday treat. She was thrilled. Only negative, like a serious thumbs down: they were blasting country music. Lol. It was the weekend of Halloween, we were in the beautiful city of New Orleans eating some great sushi and country music was blaring. Almost took a star off for that.

Miso soup and seaweed salad were both excellent, would definitely order both again. Seaweed salad has a glass noodles texture and is a little sweet. Black and gold roll got great reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Not normally a baked roll kinda guy, but I'm glad I made an exception. NO style flavor profile, with a little kick. Sweet to balance and a large portion. Would order again. Tuan roll was good but paled in comparison to the black and gold roll. The roll pieces are very large, and they were tasty, but I would probably try another fresh roll before coming back to this one. Father Calais was excellent. Deep fried roll with Philly cheese is the highlight with some chili sauce as kick. Good choice for the heavy roll, would order again. Big tuna. Big to the point of being hard to eat. Great flavor but a little unwieldy. Would pick a different fresh roll next time. Munchy roll: basically a philly roll with Doritos crumbs sprinkled on the outside. I enjoyed it as a philly roll but he Doritos didn't really add anything aside from novelty. Would just order the philly roll next time and save $2. Maybe have them add some cucumber for crunch. Cajun roll wasn't my favorite, but GF liked the crunchy gator. I wouldn't order that again either. The lava roll is close to the black and gold (minus crunchies and a little smaller portion). Not a bad choice, would order again. Green monster was ordered and got good marks from the gf, I'm allergic so I'll have to take her word for it. Fried rice is very pepper heavy. Ordered as a filler without meat. It did have lots of fresh veggies, but the pepper overpowered anything else that might have been in it. Might be better with a protein, but I would just get something else at that point. Atmosphere is quieter casual, the room has an industrial modern look, they use real candles, large parties could dine here, the service was good. The prices are reasonable for sushi and they have a happy hour that seems like a good deal too. We will be back.

This is a great sushi place not only for the quality and deliciousness of the sushi but also the atmosphere. It's a date night kind of place and a lot of sushi restaurants aren't really much for environs. Bf and I went for a night out and it was great. Cocktails strong, food delicious and loved the paperless ordering system. It's not my favorite sushi in the area, but definitely top three.

The atmosphere was great! Went for Friday lunch and sat at the bar. Ika fries were not bad but a little greasy and would not order again. Black and Gold roll was amazing!
