    Amazing taste! I had the chicken hibachi, I ate some before taking the photo. A little over priced for take out portions.

    Scallops and shrimp hibachi-no rice, extra veggies
    Davlon S.

    My Goddaughter chose this spot for her birthday dinner. She loves it here and I can see why. We were seated immediately and the service was very good.. I've had Hibachi from a few other restaurants in the Columbia area and this is definitely one of the best. They don't have the live show experience you get at some other places, but they make up for that with more food options. This is a Japanese restaurant with very good seafood and sushi options, along with Steak. I don't come to this part of town often, but I will make a trip just to eat here again.

    Miso Soup

    Food gets 2 stars. Service gets 4 stars. All in all, I feel like 3 stars is a fair rating of this restaurant. My son and I ordered an appetizer, a couple miso soups and 3 sushi rolls and only one of them was good. The ginger served on the side with each roll was clearly expired. The seafood dynamite was pretty good. I've had better, but it was okay. The miso soups weren't that hot, but we're also pretty good. We ordered two rolls to begin with after our soup and appetizer & were only delivered one roll that wasn't even the correct order. Our server apologized for not putting in our other roll order and he was actually very nice. A tuna maki roll had been delivered to our table even though we ordered a spicy tuna maki roll and as you can see from the photo, it was rolled and prepared very sloppily, so it fell apart before it even touched our mouths. I didn't bother to mention how it was the wrong order to the server because we were hungry and ready to eat, so we just ate it anyway. We were both disappointed with it though. Then the dynamite roll came out. It was warmer than the miso soup & was a little bit better than the previous tuna roll we had. It could've used some spicy mayo and eel sauce drizzled on top, in my opinion, but nonetheless, it was ok. Then, our last roll came out, the Pink dragon roll, and it tasted good. So, we left this place on a better note than we came, thanks to that last roll. Food is important when it comes to the whole experience in a restaurant and this place just feels too short. The sushi chefs need to do better & need to keep up with their ginger expirations & the menu could use a better selection of sushi. We just weren't impressed at all and it our server had not been so nice, I would have given this place 2 stars.

    I was skeptical after the reviews, but decided to give it a chance. Great experience, visited on a Thursday afternoon aprox. 2pm, they close at 2:30p until dinner time. We were practically the only ones in the restaurant, fast service, nice spot to have a luncheon, meet up, lots of space. They have a bar area also, that opens in the afternoon. The whole restaurant was clean including the restroom, no bad smells. They didn't rush us, I ordered a yummy watermelon martini, sushi etc, see pics... All my food was freshly made, only issue I had was the rice was kinda overcooked, but that was it. Do yourself a favor and at least try it! I will go back for dinner jus so I have a good comparison. Be patient at dinner time, it goes a long way in your experience. The location is in Harbison area close to the mall, so expect lots of folks when eating here on the weekend. they have have another location downtown, which will probably be busier, lots of colleges.

    Never a bad meal here. Temperature checks upon arrival, face coverings required. My kind of place. Our server was outstanding and everyone enjoyed the food.

    Veggie Hibachi with steamed rice
    Mathew S.

    We came looking for a COVID safe experience and for some healthy, good food. Found it! Came in and was seated immediately. Sat outside with the wife. We ordered some a couple waters, some sushi rolls, salads with ginger dressing, and a couple Hibachi plates. The salad came out super quick and the ginger dressing was great! The sushi rolls came next and I'm sorry I didn't take a picture because they are well done and were very delicious. They are generous with their portions. The hibachi took the longest but it was very much worth the wait. Full of flavor and savory. We got out for $55 after tip. Will definitely be back.

    Sexy roll
    Trice B.

    5 stars for the server. I wish I remember his name. When he noticed I couldn't decide which sushi roll to select, he asked what I liked and made suggestions. I went with his and it was absolutely amazing. Between my handsome date and my delicious sushi, I couldn't have been happier. This is the first restaurant I've been to in Columbia that I'll insist on returning on my next visit. It's a great date spot. Even with the busy Saturday evening crowd, we didn't wait long and the food didn't take long even though our server cautioned us that it may be a slight delay. No complaints whatsoever.

    Lemon drop martini
    Andrea H.

    So. A little misleading on the store front sign. Wasn't expecting hibachi when we went. However, totally a wonderful surprise. Katherine our server was wonderful. The lemon drop martini on point. Pink dragon roll was yummy. Can't say enough about how well the service was here. And sometimes that makes all the difference. TRY THE BAKED MUSSELS!!!!! OMG

    Yakiudon with chicken
    Cat T.

    The host was very kind, but our waitress was cold and not very tending. Despite the bad service, food was good and came out very quickly. Menu is a bit confusing since there are different appetizers on both sides of the menu? Also a little disappointing that we couldn't order anything off the kids menu, although I understand. Some of the prices are a bit high compared to other Tsunami's but it was still delicious. Nice chewy yakiudon and juicy chicken! Delicious! Soft shumai and flavorful gyoza. Good experience overall.

    Teriyaki Shrimp and chicken Hibachi
    Shantoria S.

    Service and food was exceptional. Came on a Saturday night around 9 pm. Nice upscale look inside and our waiter was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our food and drinks. Will be back again and highly recommend if you're in the area!

    I've been to Tsunami three times so I feel like I can definitely say it's just okay. The first time I came here for lunch and was impressed by the cheap lunch options and had a great meal here. The last two times I came to Tsunami was for dinner and dinner has been a lot less lackluster than the lunch. It's a lot pricier for dinner, which is a given, but I really don't feel the food quality matches the price point for dinner. The service here has always been great and the restaurant itself has a good ambiance. But still, at this point I would only come back for lunch.

    So far the sushi is fabulous!  Waiting to see how the hibachi stacks up!
    JoAnn H.

    I would give a 3 1/2 if I could. The food is great. The service leaves a little to be desired. They are definitely slow. We waiting quite a while between the sushi and the hibachi. We also noticed when we came in that we had a 15 minute wait but there were a number of tables that were empty. Maybe they are short staffed.

    After shopping, we came here around 2:30 pm. We were greeted and sat at table right away. We ordered lunch special and waiting time was ok. No complaints about food, cleanses of the restaurant, our server was pretty delicate and move very fast. Will visit here again.

Since we were in the Columbia area, we had to come back! The service here is top-notch, and ALL high end restaurants should take note. Servers and managers are always standing around in the hallway practically waiting to help you, are there to start conversation and make you enjoy your experience. Our waitress constantly came around to check on us. Great work! In Charleston, we got the prime rib and loved it. So, as a result, we got the prime rib again AND loved it again! It was just like how we remembered it; tender and great flavor. Their sides come in large portions (shareable). They do have great mac-and-cheese. It kind of gives us like a Spanish vibe, probably because it consists of a certain spice or Jalapeños (my guess), but that does not make it spicy! All it does is adds complexity to the flavor. For dessert, we shared the cookie skillet. It comes with ice cream on top with chocolate syrup and caramel on the side. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.. that's how we like it!! I highly recommend you give Halls Chophouse a try. You will not be disappointed!

The menu strikes the perfect balance: an excellent selection of small plates (the crab cakes and fried green tomatoes are addictive) and truly outstanding entrées. Whether you're craving a perfectly cooked filet, fresh seafood specials, or one of their thoughtful vegetarian options, everything comes out flavorful and beautifully presented. Portions are generous without being overwhelming. The bar program is top-tier; cocktails are creative, balanced, and made with premium spirits every single time. The wine list is equally impressive and fairly priced. Service is the gold standard: attentive and knowledgeable without hovering, genuinely warm, and quick to offer great recommendations. They make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. On a nice evening, grab a table on the patio overlooking Five Points.
