20 piece sashimi- hubby had 3 orders and they all came out beautifully.

Hubby says "Effing Awesome"! Quality= Excellent Value = Excellent Service = Excellent We live an hour away but if we're in McAllen, we make it a point to grab dinner there. The 20 piece sashimi alone is worth it.

Great service and ambiance. Food was delicious. Would go again. It was a great price for all you can eat!

Quite literally the best lunch deal you can find in McAllen. For an AYCE experience, $18.95 is truly unbeatable. The menu is extremely extensive, and I love that sashimi is also included in the AYCE experience, which is very rare in many places. My family and I came for Black Friday lunch, and while extremely packed, the waiters had no trouble accommodating our group of 11 people! They were extremely kind and were very quick to handle all of our orders. They brought all of our items, despite the large amounts we were ordering. They did have some weird items on here that weren't as tasty as I expected, such as the spicy tuna roll and calamari. I am not used to having cucumber in my spicy tuna rolls, so I made sure to remove before eating. My favorite dishes were the unagi and edamame. Please skip out on the spicy garlic edamame and only eat the regular, I definitely made that mistake! I would 100% come back here if I were craving some sushi.

Let me tell you something brather Umiya Sushi is amazing. I will elaborate, close your eyes and picture this beautiful Asian style restaurant the lighting is amazing there's a ceramic cat statue took a hard pic witit. There's cherry blossom looking trees, the symmetry is very admirable. They got me and my family a seat very quickly. I got the all you can eat, (30$dinner), I ate a lot. I'll put some pictures but everything was spectacular and quick. Our waiter was very nice and explanatory as it was our first time he used words like "tickling." Very sushi smart guy. I am itching to come back and I will be back soon ‼

Umiya has a great lunch deal as it costs only $18.95 for an all you can eat menu that has great variety. You do, however, risk losing quality at such a low price. I'm a big fan of asian food & the food was 3.5/5 stars. The fried calamari was my favorite. The place is partially decorated nicely. It does look overly crowded and a bit tacky. Do not mistake this restaurant for a fancy night out, it is a casual, family or lunch date, restaurant. I got all three plates that I ordered with 5 minutes of ordering each of them. My partner did not. He received all 3 plates he ordered in 15-20 minutes. We did not mind the wait. Our waiter was great! If you are a fan of buffets and understand that great prices sometimes mean a little less quality, you will probably be coming back to this restaurant after your first time.

Drives me insane when they serve fish paste.

I have been here for lunch a couple of times. $19.00. I enjoyed it. It's not the full menu at lunch but there is plenty to choose from. I highly recommend it. Best sushi I have found in the Valley so far.

Went here on Mother's Day. First impression was great and the service wasn't bad. For an all you can eat, it's not bad and the quality of food is a lot better than most all you can eat places that make your food the second you ask the servers. Is it restaurant style quality? No. But it's good enough as I mentioned above. The fried rice we ordered to my surprise due to its color, isn't salty. However, a slight downside, is you need to finish whatever dish you order. Otherwise, they will charge you full price. So pick carefully. The price depending on when you go is up for debate as you will be spending at least $30 per person on dinner and weekends. $20 plus during lunch hours and you're limited by what you can order. The atmosphere refreshing. Not too muggy I suppose if that's what you call it. I wish the place had Takoyaki to order but that's just a personal preference. I won't lower it by a star.

First time to Umiya Sushi in McAllen. Food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. Food is brought to made fresh when brought to you. The ambiance was cool. Bring a sweater it was cold in there. Our waitress was friendly and informative. The service was fast. We will definitely be back.

Tsunami Sushi Bar & Grill Restaurant - Spicy Tuna Roll

Tsunami Sushi Bar & Grill Restaurant

4.1(27 reviews)

More of a 3.5 star place, but rounding up since I thought I got good value for the money and having…read moremore culinary options in an area is always beneficial. 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.

We ate at Tsunami sushi bar last night for the first time in about two years. Service was friendly,…read moreambience is OK, and the food was excellent. I had them make a special platter of Nigiri sushi for me, and it was very, very good. My husband had the bento box and was super pleased with it. The prices were very good as well, and we certainly will be returning! I highly recommend this sushi bar.
