What People Are Saying About Tsunami

In Short – Japanese design reigns here, with high ceilings throughout, colorful murals, painted walls and a hip atmosphere. The place fills up on weekend nights--making reservations is a good idea, especially for the sushi bar--but the staff, black-clad and midriff-baring, remain polite. The menu includes a large selection of sushi, plus soups, salads, appetizers and entrees, from a teriyaki sampler with shrimp to charred peppercorn-crusted tuna loin.

Disappointed

by snj0528

This was my second visit to Tsunami's. You can tell it's been around for awhile, meaning it needs refreshing in decor & staff. The food for the most part was good, with the exception of the Toro tuna. Was very chewy because of the lines of grissell throughout the meat. The staff seemed more interested in visiting with each other than attending to the needs of their patrons. The waitress acted as if my wife didn't exist. Wrong move, because we decide together as to the tip percentage. Until I hear of a major change, I will find another sushi bar on my next visit to Chicago. In case the owner reads these, the night of our visit was Friday, October 31st.

  • Pros: None, just another average sushi bar
  • Cons: Toro, staff

Good Sushi, Great Selection

by foodtasters

Sitting at the sushi bar was a good experience. The service was ok. The sushi was good. There wasn't anything we could complain about. They did not have certain fish the day we were there. It was a downer, but it is also a sign that the restaurant maintains high quality fish. It was a good enough that we would go back.

  • Pros: fish, service
