Our waitress, Chelsea, and the bartender (didn’t catch his name) were fantastic, but the food was noteworthy in how unimaginative it was. The blistered shishitos were great, but you really can’t mess those up. The Buddha bowl was just awful. The jackfruit in it was sweet, which is the worst. I definitely would come back if their food improved, but it was almost an hour drive for this, and it was SO disappointing.

Good location right near parking garage. Good sushi and service. Very noisy. Pork buns were good. Ramen was terrible. Very pasty thin noodles and the pork was fried to the texture of jerky. Would only go back for the sushi only.

Our experience was amazing. We went for a bachelorette party and they accomodated us very well, putting us in a back corner that was comfortable and extremely perfect for our group. We also had a bit of drama that our waitress handled in a very professional manner. I will definitely go back!

Tsunami was a great place for a date, meeting place with friends, or double date. My boyfriend and I went with another couple while we were visiting Annapolis and it was fantastic! The service was outstanding and the drinks were great! We spent a couple of hours here even after finishing dinner because the drinks and the atmosphere were so good.

This is my third meal at Tsunami. The food has never disappointed! Try the sea bass if you like fish. It was prepared perfectly. The french fries with their "special sauce" are to die for.

Our table was ready when we arrived - that was awesome. The food was great as were the drinks. The Poke and the lobster tacos are delicious. The only downside you are crammed together with the neighboring tables so there is no privacy and it’s a little loud and busy. As long as you are aware then it’s no big deal.

We went during their "happy hour and a half" only to be told it had ended (an hour earlier than advertised). Service was slow. My husband got his drink about 10 minutes before I did, then they brought out his dinner, before we even got appetizers. He was done eating before my meal even showed up on the table. Our server basically ignored us. Had to ask for the check eventually. For how busy they were, service should have been way better. The food was good. I had a spring roll that was on the daily specials. It was tasty, but mostly lettuce - not much crab or shrimp at all. Went home still a little hungry. My husband had sashimi and liked it, thought it was good. The edamame was also good, very well seasoned. I'd give this place another try -- maybe we just got a bad server.

Great spot to grab drinks and a snack or dinner. Drinks are really good but expensive. The signature drinks are 10 dollars plus. The tuna lollipops are amazing and the pork belly spoons. The sushi is just okay. The rice has a very sticky taste and that’s all you taste in there rolls. Not the best place for really good sushi. But it’s a great spot to grab drinks and hang out and snack on other apps. Lounge type experience to hang out and relax. Mix between a bar and lounge with tables. One of my main spots but I don’t go for the sushi rolls, I only eat the Asian apps and raw pieces. Although, the metropolitan toll is pretty good

Our waitress, Chloe, was extremely helpful and friendly. She was kind enough to notify us that we had come during happy hour and even allowed us to order an extra item after HH had officially ended. The sushi was delicious and we enjoyed our window seating. The music is pretty loud, however, making casual dinner conversation difficult. Overall, we enjoyed it very much.

Another great meal at Tsunami. Josh was the man behind the bar, and he was excellent yet again. The potstickers were killer. I would have liked the Kobe burger better without the caramelized onions. The sushi rolls were excellent. Can’t wait to go back!

While we were in a hurry we let the waitstaff know. She was great and we were out quickly. She was also very polite ,friendly and helpful . The miso soup and are shusi were excellent. We really like shusi and will return when we have time to leisurely enjoy the variety of the menu . Space was very very crowded and loud but we were told it is not usually so noisy.

The food was delicious but the service was lacking. One server was responsible for our whole section with no help and there was no method to how she checked on tables. We ordered sushi for happy hour and decided to order more. We asked for another order form and it took almost 20 minutes for her to come back and collect the new order. Other than this, the food was worth the wait. So yummy!!

Love Tsunami and always would give 5 stars, but we were a little late because of the snow (20 min) and the hostess was very curt and rude and not understanding. It started off things on a sour note. Other than the hostess, we had an amazing experience and will continue to frequent Tsunami. Just wish the hostess didn’t sour the mood for us

Went for New Years Eve date night. Reservation was easy to make. Room was very dark to read menu and table was small. We ordered some sushi and an appetizer that were both great. My wife got the kapaw rice bowl that was good but not great. I ordered the halibut which was really good. Wine with dinner and then dessert with coffee and tea. All were really good but green tea was only available and my wife prefers black tea. Service was slow but they gave us the dessert on the house when it took so long to come out which was good. Overall we really liked Tsunami and would go there again.

We always enjoy dining at Tsunami and have the last few years made certain to include it in our holiday family must do list. Sushi is extremely well prepared and never disappoints; edamame is best with basil and Old Bay. Mussels are awesome, and great service by Breanna. Highly recommended if you are in Annapolis and want sushi.

Being left out in the freezing cold until exactly 5:30 because they don't open until then and we had reservations at 5:30. Totally unacceptable behavior on the part of the management. Otherwise, the service and food were very good. Not to sure if I'd be jumping up and down to return or recommend the place. At least I'd warn people NOT to get a 5:30 reservation. Especially if the weather isn't nice.

The food and service are consistently good at Tsunami, and the innovative Asian fusion food does not disappoint. On the negative side are the worn decor - it just looks dirty and cheesy - and the noise, which makes it almost impossible to have a dining experience without shouting. I personally do not find that enjoyable. That keeps us from going more frequently, which we could do as we literally live right around the corner.
