    I can't remember the name of the roll I had but it wasn't bad. I also ordered the Georgia Peach cocktail and it was okay. I went for happy hour so it was quite empty but the service was very slow. I've heard such things about Tsunami so I def want to try them out again.

    Decided to try an ole staple in the Vista tonight, Ive tried Tsunami back in 2017 and the service was so horrble we left without ordering. Well today was a new day and they redeemed themselves. Customer was excellent and the bar service was fast. Happy hour is from 4-6p, the drinks where way to sweet for me. I had the Georgia Peach. The food was fresh and portion size was good for two people. We enjoyed all the food and are glad we gave them a second chance some years later. We only ordered a sushi roll and some appetizers, but all was good. Free parking at location.

    I ordered the tuna delight roll($13) and steak and scallop hibachi($25). The tuna roll was great, but was absolutely drenched in sweet chili sauce. Definitely overpowering but it still tasted good. The ginger salad sauce was quite watery instead of a thicker sauce. The hibachi was cooked in the back so there was not a show, but the food ended up tasting good. The steak was cooked to a good medium, while the scallops were a bit overcooked. A good amount of fried rice and vegetables that were seasoned well. The yum yum sauce was good. Staff was friendly. Overall it was a good experience here, the sushi and hibachi aren't the best but still good. Food(50%): 7.2 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.1/10

    The food here was absolutely amazing! The miso soup had so much flavor, and the heartbreaker roll was delicious. The service I why this isn't a 5 star review as our server was awful. She forgot about our drinks and still charged us for them and then kept trying to get us to leave while we were eating, mind you the restaurant wasn't even full.

    i went to tsunami vista during their happy hour and ordered a cheap drink, which tasted like watermelon candy. we were greeted & seated promptly upon arrival and the waiters were very friendly. i ordered the vegetable spring rolls and a cucumber roll. the vegetable spring rolls were standard and came with a cabbage slaw of some kind with a sesame dressing which was pretty good. the cucumber roll was inside out, which is not standard, but i prefer it that way. definitely good (and cheap) but nothing that stands out.

    This place is surprisingly really good. Has an array amount of food options, full bar, good timing bringing out the food in a energized ambience. The big difference was Steven our server. Steven turned a common after work meal into a good and funny experience.

    Been here a couple of times & it never disappoints!!! Big, very steady with patrons & in this college town (USC Gamecocks) the happy hour from 4-7 pm is pretty good!!! So many choices & the menu is beyond creative! EVERYTHING IS FRESH!!!!!!! I crave this place & I live in Georgia! My neice is graduating so I won't have the opportunity to come again since she won't live in this town much longer. What a treat to have wnjoyed this when we had the opportunity!!!! Parking is not easy, and oaid parking around back from what we understand. Small lots!!! If your are in Columbia, SC I HIGHLY recommend trying this out!!!

    Oooooohhhhh emmmm geeee! I loved my experience. First and foremost, we had the best waitress, Savannah G. Ask for her! She was attentive, pleasant, fun, and engaging. She suggested the sexy roll because I'm a fan of cooked sushi but I wanted to go a little outside of the box and this roll implemented raw tuna. When I tell you the roll was sexy and delicious! Best roll I've ever had! It was so good until I had to order another. I then had the Georgia Peach cocktail which was tasty and fruity. I'm going back no exceptions.

    This place have amazing portions for what you pay for. their sashimi is so thick and it pretty fresh

    Lava cake

    This restaurant had a nice modern feel to it. A big bar once you walk in with a sushi bar to the right and tables to the left. Most of the workers seemed like they were students at USC or just very young. Service was pretty slow despite it not being busy. The food was decent, lots of rice in the sushi (sticky rice, not sushi rice), and the lava cake tasted like a reheated frozen dish. Overall it was decent.

    I will begin with they have very clean bathrooms. The ambience was very nice, including the lighting, seating, music and decor. I will say the pricing is not that bad and correlates with the quantity of the food. The quality of the food was just perfect for myself and my boyfriend. The leftovers fit into two to go boxes. We were able to pack several sauce containers with lids that came with our meal (soy sauce, white sauce, and spicy mayo sauce) in our to go boxes as well. My boyfriend did say that the flavored mago sake was not as strong as he would have expected from our other previous Japanese restaurant experiences; he may order plain sake next time we eat there. Customer service was quite nice, we came as soon as they opened and were seated immediately and had a great experience! We will be dining here again!

    It is still the best sushi bar in the Southeast. They have the largest variety of fresh fish and…read moreother seafood, but they also make traditional chicken and steaks. The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

    The fact that I'm the only Asian customer at this place says it all…read more I ordered Inakaya Fried Chicken, which is a split bone chicken wing per their menu. I was given chicken nuggets and told they don't have chicken wings... Glad I found their menu online to prove I wasn't crazy. Everything is either overcooked, dry, or super salty. No idea why this place was even packed. Sushi rice was dry. The chicken nugget thing mentioned above was overly dry and salty. Tonkotsu Ramen was overcooked. Either they chose the wrong type of noodle or let it sit forever before serving it. The two slices of meat that came with the ramen was maybe from pork chop meat? Usually it's made with cha shew meat or pork belly. Two super lean and dry slices of meat made the bowl look like a joke. The noodle was salty enough that I don't even want to try the broth. Edamame was okay. Other than the fact that they don't look appetizing, the shell was brownish and many bean pockets (if you know what I was trying to say) were empty, that's probably the best dish on the table. If you want sushi or ramen or anything that's on their menu, do yourself a favor and please try to find it somewhere else.

From the moment we stepped inside, the experience completely shifted. The interior is truly spectacular--quiet, intimate, and thoughtfully designed. The space is petite yet incredibly intentional, and it immediately evokes the feeling of being transported to Japan. While I've never personally been to Japan, this restaurant genuinely took me out of a Western setting and placed me into what felt like a Japanese dining experience. Each table is sectioned off with dividers, which adds a layer of privacy while still maintaining an open, welcoming atmosphere that reminds you that you're still in the United States. It's a perfect balance between intimacy and accessibility, and it contributes greatly to the overall ambiance. I ordered the karaage meal, which came with a cabbage salad and rice. At first, I was concerned it might not be enough food, but it ended up hitting the spot in ways I didn't expect. While I could have eaten more, I was genuinely satisfied and comfortable by the end of the meal, which speaks volumes about the quality and balance of the dish. When placing my order, I also requested soup and mentioned to our server that I had been coughing earlier. Even though I wasn't actively coughing in the restaurant, she went out of her way to bring me hot tea to help soothe my throat. That level of care and attentiveness went well beyond expectations. She was incredibly polite, well-mannered, and made sure we felt genuinely taken care of throughout our visit. The value here is outstanding--not just for the food, but for the service, atmosphere, and overall experience. Everything comes together seamlessly, and it truly feels like a home run. There was no long wait to be seated; we walked in, told them how many people were in our party, and were seated promptly. For dessert, I ordered the matcha cheesecake. I went in with certain expectations based on what I was used to, and while it leaned more toward a New York-style cheesecake flavored with matcha rather than a traditional Japanese-style cheesecake, it was still very enjoyable and well-executed. Overall, everything--from the value and location to the food, service, and atmosphere--was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this place and plan to return the next time I'm back in town. I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu and bringing more friends along with me. A sincere thank you to the young lady who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience.

What I didn't really like was their policy of charging money for tap water. You don't expect this in America. I went to their soda machine to get some water, thinking there would be some cheap $0.01 plastic cups, and that's when I saw a sign saying you have to pay for water. NOT what I expected after ordering and paying for a ramen soup. I asked if there was any way to get a free cup of water, thinking maybe they kept the cups behind the counter, and they said no, you have to buy a cup for the tap water. In my mind, if you have to nickle and dime us $0.50 for tap water, you're doing things wrong as a business. Charge what you have to so people don't have to ask about paying money for tap water and you don't have to put up stupid signs saying you have to pay for water. I mean, come on. That looks SO PETTY and CHEAP! This place was so low life, they even had signs saying don't sit down until you order something taped on the walls all around the restaurant. That really made it look cheap. Where am I, China? Pakistan? Didn't feel like Japan... and certainly didn't feel like America. I didn't try to use the restroom. I don't know if they charge a fee for that... or the toilet paper... I think we as a society need to strongly push back against this type of 'fee' trend in restaurants. Yea, it's their business and they can run it the way they want, but I can also give a poor review and not come back. Your choice. I would of tipped the worker $3-4 based on service. Instead I was charged $0.50 and won't come back.
