I really enjoyed my meal here. The shrimp fried rice was very fresh and absolutely delicious. The miso soup was okay, simple, and the only soup option on the menu. One highlight was the Ragin’ Cajun sushi, which was made with alligator 🐊a unique and fun experience that I’m glad I tried. Overall, a great place if you enjoy fresh food and trying something different.
Wow! Tuesday happy hour is an absolutely incredible deal. We had a cocktail and two sushi rolls for $21. But no matter what you pay the food is worth the money. The Rajin’ Cajin’ alligator roll is fantastic.
Had a fantastic post Saints game day dinner after a CLOSE game against the 49ers.. Thanks for an amazing dinner even though we didn't win. Tsunami Sushi for the the win! Much love, Maestro Giaccone
I had a wonderful experience here! My waitress was friendly, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations. The happy hour was fantastic, and every dish I tried was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing. Perfect for enjoying sushi with friends or on your own.
We needed a break from French Quarter food on our vacation and walked to Tsunami Sushi. Happy Hour 3-6pm, Monday after Mother’s Day. Plenty tables open and my friend and I sat at the bar. Food was exactly what we needed and at Happy Hour price, it was even better. Fish was fresh and the truffle salmon was something I’ve never heard of, but would order again! They also seared our nigiri upon request, med rare. I wish there was $1.50 nigiri where I lived! Ruby was an excellent bartender/server and really made our experience too-notch and elevated. Can’t wait to come back!
