My friends and I arrived about 1 pm, and the place started filling up quickly right after. She made several suggestions regarding the lunch menu (all of them good), and seemed to be familiar with all the items on the menu - which is pretty big! As for the food... absolutely delicious! I had the dragon roll, with chicken fried rice, miso soup, and pork dumplings. The servings are VERY ample and you will not walk away hungry! I suggest the bento boxes. VERY reasonably priced and a good sampling of everything. I especially want to call out the chicken fried rice. I don't know what they do differently, but it was above and beyond the best I've ever had - and I've eaten a LOT of fried rice in my lifetime.

In my Christmas trip to the valley with my friends we were craving some seafood to remind us of…read moreJapan. I'm a sucker for salmon, fatty tuna and eel so I got all 3, unagi and sashimi! The staff were friendly and the Asian vibes were strong (thematic teapot, lighting, decor on walls). Overall it was a gentle experience but I feel the seafood could be better quality but it is difficult to find quality seafood in Texas.

The ambience was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed a refreshing red sangria that was so yummy, and the ceviche was perfectly tangy with just the right hint of spice. We also tried the most unique gluten-free, dairy-free dessert, Maiz Morado and it was incredible! A special thank you to Jakie and Camille for being the best waitresses and making our celebration even more memorable. The only small disappointment was that we had previously visited Zaya a month ago, and we recognized the same manager working there as well. We noticed he visited and checked on nearly every other table, but unfortunately never stopped by ours either time. It didn't ruin our evening, but it did leave us feeling a little overlooked. Overall, though, we still had a lovely experience and enjoyed celebrating such a special occasion there.

Our server was great. My sister was given the sunny side up eggs instead of scrambled eggs. Despite my sister not requesting for them to be replaced, the waiter brought them over shortly after bringing out the initial meal and excused herself for the mistake. The music is great, seats are comfortable, and restrooms are very clean. Can't wait to go back.

They brought out complimentary miso soup before our spicy steamed edamame. The edamame was average and the spicy sauce was just squirted on top rather than how most restaurants do it. We ordered 5 signature rolls to share on a large platter. It was fun watching them prepare everything for us. They provided a bunch of sauces on the side which seemed unnecessary. Our server forgot cups for soy sauce which the sushi chef grabbed for us. All of the rolls were pretty good but all tasted similar. The wagyu beef roll was delicious but definitely a unique sushi option. The server kinda stopped coming around after we started eating which made it hard to get refills. The prices were very fair compared to some cities. The dining room was modern/trendy and very clean.

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.
