We had a really nice meal at Tsunami in Annapolis. It's a good spot if you want to order a few small plates, have some drinks, and hang out without feeling rushed. We tried the edamame, kimchi tacos, pork belly, and scallops. Everything was enjoyable, but the kimchi tacos were the highlight of the meal. They had great flavor and would be the first thing I'd order again. The pork belly and scallops were also good, and the meal had a nice variety overall. Service was good, and the restaurant had a comfortable, lively feel. It worked well as both a dinner spot and a place to stay for a few drinks. I'd definitely consider going back. read more

Tsunami was amazing! We went there for a coworkers birthday and I couldn't have asked for more. Servers were amazing and made our experience great! If you are celebrating an event, this could definitely be a cute spot for it. The restaurant accommodated 10 of us. They seated us quickly and our waitress was very attentive. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made personalized suggestions for each person. Restaurant was also extremely good at handling allergies. We got a plethora of rolls across the table and most things were so good. There were a couple of rolls that were not my favorite and the miso soup was overly salty, but those two things were literally the only downsides of my entire experience. Verdict: if you're in Annapolis definitely give Tsunami a try! read more

We have been long time patrons of Tsu/Tsunami for sushi and last night's dinner tasted like bad grocery store sushi. The rolls with tempura were cold and tasted like they had been made days ago. There was not flavor and the rice was old. So sad. It used to be terrific. read more

MORE BAR THAN RESTAURANT: Sporting loud music and dark themed lighting, Tsunami has made its bar the center attraction for this sushi spot on West Street. The hip(per) vibe (relative to neighboring Rams Head and Stan & Joe's) attracts a younger clientele. To Tsunami's credit, two well trained bartenders can amp your drink to cocktail status. The apps and sushi are decent and affordable. Enjoyed the seaweed salad, but found our other apps just "too much": hamachi jalapeño too hot and the popcorn shrimp too fried. On rolls, would recommend the Metropolitan and Kamikaze, and skip the Scotia (just "off"). read more

I have been coming here for a few years every time I'm in town and have had nothing but wonderful experiences! The food is always super tasty, the fish is always fresh and never fishy, and the drinks have also always been great. The service is also quick, kind, and knowledgeable. Renzo and Kyle are fun and great at their jobs, as well as everyone else who works there. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great bite and doesn't mind listening to some fun/interesting music! I am already looking forward to the next time I get to come back. read more

This restaurant has gone so far down hill in recent years it's not even worth going anymore. Shame since it used to be one of my favorites. Right around the name-change they halved the menu as well. What's left is pretty low-quality and over-priced; nigiri and sashimi options are practically non-existent. Last time I went I tried the ramen thinking maybe they'd at least have good noodles. Nope, I've honestly had instant ramen noodles better than that. For sushi, Joss is waaaay better, and for ramen, Tai-chi at harbor center is both cheaper and much better, so really no reason to go to Tsu anymore. Other reviewers have mentioned too, but the cleanliness of the restaurant is also in decline. The place just feels dirty and grungy. I'm all for a trendy industrial vibe, but not when that means forgoing basic cleanliness read more

Service was slow, food was just OK. I'm glad I asked what our server's favorite dish was because it was the highlight. Pork buns. Sushi was mediocre. No real reason to go back with other sushi spots around. read more

Sushi was very disappointing.. dry rice.. Wait staff should stay off cell phones while customers sit at the bar. Will try to come back. read more

Would not go back. This was the third time we have been here. Bar service was terrible, drinks were not good, food was overpriced for the serving size. The food itself is good but nothing spectacular. The ambience is nice and we like the idea of the place but the bar service was so bad we will not be returning. read more

Ambiance was relaxing and peaceful, very quiet indoors. We sat at a table, but they have seats at the bar as well. The Spinach & Goat Cheese Dumplings were mediocre, lacking flavor and very small pieces. I've seen guests photos online of the same dumplings but larger portion, doesn't look like photos online which is disappointing. Loved the shiitake mushrooms!! And the creme brûlée was great as well. Our server did an excellent job taking care of us. read more

3.8 stars. I love this restaurant. The environment is rad and the staff is always so kind. The ding in my score is for their sushi. My family and I LOVE their tuna lollipops- the smokiness in the seasoning is to die for. However my boyfriend hates when sushi is smokey so he doesn't like them at all. We got 6 rolls of sushi as well and while he loved them, I couldn't get past how dense the rice was. It was like my delicious fish was wrapped in wet concrete and it really bothered me. The shrimp/shiitake roll was surprisingly lovely, as well as the Maui roll with the pineapple. All in all we had a lovely date night! read more

It appears that I can't visit DTA without stopping at Tsunami. It is also my favorite spot to showoff to those who haven't been down to DTA or Tsunami in general (I obviously will take any excuse to go). The food is amazing. Drinks are great. Every staff member is gorgeous and easy to talk to...Why wouldn't I want to come back here EVERY visit to DTA? This review is simply to shoutout staff members for being awesome but to also add some yummy pictures. read more

Despite it being a very very busy evening, and not having reservations - the team was kind enough to find a table for my cousin and I. We were on a tight time crunch, so us not having to wait, as well as the super fast service was perfect. The food and drinks were good. The sashimi was fresh, and the presentation was tiptop. I would recommend coming here for dinner before an event at Rams Head - it's super duper close to the venue and has great options. read more

It would be nice to not have to wait forever for dri as while the bartenders chat with their friends. Oh and not to feel ostracized for speaking up for yourself. Tantamount to disrespect to interact when they ignore you. read more

The food here was very mid to me. First I ordered the edamame and it was very salty. As I got to the bottom it was more edible. The sushi was very just blah. It wasn't good but it wasn't terrible. It was smaller in size. The ramen was probably the best dish we tried and it was also just ok to me. It wasn't bad but nothing I'd want to go back to eat. read more

Warning-if you're a true sushi aficionado do not come here expecting high quality rolls. Instead their rolls are of the grocery store caliber so please keep that in mind. I tried Tsunami for the first time last night and read the reviews and thought their sushi would be better than average, but needless to say I was disappointed. I had the kamikaze and Maui roll and didn't think the fish was so fresh. Tsunami is a hip Asian fusion bar more than a restaurant. Inside it is so dark that you will need your phone's flashlight to be able to read the menu. On the positive side they have a great cocktail menu that is reasonably priced. Also the music is so loud that it is difficult to have a conversation. The service was average too. Nothing exceptional, not rude but not very pleasant. Overall come here to listen to music and drink. read more

Tsunami - Shrimp Rice Bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Love the ambiance of this restaurant even on a Tuesday night. A perfect date night spot, even though I went with some friends. The star of the show was the braised pork belly appetizer; it was sweet, savory, tender, with so much flavor in a single bite. I wish there was a meal with this same meat and rice! The chili garlic edamame was amazing too! The sushi was good too, some rolls were better than others, but I wish there was a larger menu. There's only a handful of chef rolls. Drinks were strong so you're getting your moneys worth! Overall, had a good time and will be coming back! read more

COVID: no one is wearing a mask. Not even the servers but there is outside seating. Outside of that, the wait staff and the person seating customers are pretty great. The food was good, different but had good flavors. They were very welcoming to people with gluten allergies but I reacted the next day. I ordered the buddah salad/bowl and the green tea. The buddah bowl had spinach, apples, and avocado. I got the dressing on the side but the waiter said it did not have gluten in it. I'm unsure if it was cross contamination. read more

Instead of validating my buddy's ID they chose to take back my friend's drink and kick us out of the restaurant. Disappointing

I have been coming to Tsunami for 20 years. I love this place. Before Covid they served sushi until 1am. Great for us night owls. After Covid they serve sushi until 10pm. That I can deal with but recently they took items off of the sushi menu. TO THE OWNER PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD SUSHI MENU. No more eel? Flying fish roe? Quail egg? Cmon this is what we love. I do not drink so I am here for the food. Please bring back the old sushi menu. read more

Went there 4 weeks ago. Menu and service was great. Retuned on 4/5 only to find that the sushi menu was cut in half. There were about 7 Rolls to choose from So bad I thought it was the "happy hour" menu. When asked what happened To the rest of the menu they said someone on the higher ups cut the menu. Needless to say my favorite sushi place really doesn't exist. Totally disappointed. Will never return. I will be going to Joss sushi from now on!!! read more

Been to Tsunami 2 times now and both have been great experiences. Service is always fast with the servers being kind and responsive. The restaurant is a bit dark and cozy if you're looking for that kinda atmosphere. The tuna lollipops had a loud smokey taste that was distracting for me but people who like that kind of flavor would like these. The rest of the sushi was solid. read more

Sometimes change is for the bad.We used to love this place. Was our favorite spot. If your expectations are good memories at tsunami, you may want to reconsider. This used to be a great place. Nothing is the same. Menu is a joke. We should have read the reviews prior to going with high hopes for our anniversary dinner. read more

Our waitress was super sweet! She answered all the questions I had since I had never been to Tsunami before. The Tuna lollipops were delicious! My friend and I also did the chicken spring rolls those were good. 5 sushi rolls all of which were delicious. The miso soup was amazing as well and the bowl was huge! I know I got a Dragon and some roll that was crunchy and had asparagus in it. I also had my "usual" California roll. My friend and I sat at the table and chatted for a long while and the waitress was so patient with us:) this place was super hip! I will definitely be back! read more

Super chill vibes, food was bussin. I got the kamikaze roll and the braised pork belly. Pork belly was next level fr. Service was decent , nothing bad but nothing great. I'll be back. read more

We ate outside on beautiful, breezy Saturday night. Our server was brand new and it showed! She knew very little about the menu and less about the drink offerings. When our apps arrived much before our drinks, I felt myself rolling my eyes and settling in for a meh experience. Literally, the wasabi was the tastiest/best part of the meal. We won't be returning. read more

Romantic candlelit date night atmosphere. Not a huge restaurant so the wait can get long on weekend nights. Sushi was good- a little on the expensive side compared to other restaurants in the area. read more

The ahi tuna lollipops were great and a good portion...asked for soy and wasabi to augment the chili oil. Fried rice was absolute perfection! Cocktails were just ok...lion's tail was better than the regalo verde (which was an overload of sour and jalapeño in this version of a margarita). read more

We've been to Tsunami twice now and both times the food was hit or miss. Their noodles can be oily and lacking flavor. The sushi is pretty good but the options are limited. Drinks are yummy and service is friendly. We've gone for a birthday as well and the serve free birthday dessert which is nice. read more

very mid, grocery store sushi are better then this place. over priced as well, only give little portio. ricebowl rice is undercooked and drown in sauce. read more

Horrible excuse for a "sushi" restaurant. The salmon sashimi looked depressing and wilted. The tuna blocks were more like salt blocks. If the service was better, an additional star would've been warranted. But the server never once came over to refill our waters or ask how the meal was. Just don't. read more

Came with a friend some time back. We parked on a side street and walked a block here. Bartendar was super nice. Place was clean

The venue has changed for the worse since my last visit circa 2017. During the dinner hour, Tsunami blasts music at a loudness approaching club level. This, combined with the factory-style seating where the patron at the adjacent table is closer than your chosen dining companion, makes conversation at the table difficult and uncomfortable. Service is still fairly decent; the sushi comes out quick, and it seems fresh. read more

Tsunami is always a go to for us. We are locals, we go out a lot. It is a bit dark, if you like that, we do. The environment is fun, fast-paced with a very large bar that we have enjoyed many times for a quick roll, some tofu and a drink. Tables when we've brought larger groups. The drinks are always good, although they are small glasses. And there's just certain things on the menu we can count on that we just love. Fried tofu with fish flakes is a go to for sure! So good! We have taken out of town friends many times. Everyone especially enjoys the ice cream and banana dessert! So different so good! read more

Outstanding attentive service! The sashimi was average but the rolls and apps were great. Enjoyed the appetizers and our server was as sweet and attentive as you could possibly ask on a busy Saturday night. Sat outside for "dinner under the stars". It was wonderful. read more
