Tsunami

Loved the pot stickers. Wasn't prepared for the heat, but still enjoyed it. Would definitely go back!! Yummy.

A Really solid 4.5 stars for Tsunami Ramen. My wife surprised me with a dinner here for the "dinner out for your birthday" part of my birthday weekend up in Frederick and it was a lovely mean. Very cozy, ocean themed vibes and after perusing the very extensive menu of Ramen, appetizers and Rice Bowls, and ordering our cocktails, we got the Chicken Karrage Rice bowl, the spicy special ramen listed on the specials (We were here on 12/28/24, not sure how long they keep the specials on there) as well as dumplings and Korean pancakes to start. Drink: Good cocktailsService: Super prompt. Literally both times one of us got up to go to the bathroom one of our courses came. It felt a smidge too fast, but that's a nitpickFood: Flavors were great. The Korean pancakes were a little too temperature hot when we got then but were excellent once we let them cool. The dumplings were great and my wife loved her ramen in all facets, including the broth. Note on this "spicy special ramen": it's a mild spice, so if you're heat sensitive you're fine. My rice bowl was really tasty as well and I kept going back before desert to have another bite.Dessert was great; it's pictured below; I just can't remember what it was.

Got there on Sunday night at 7. Got seated right away. They offered us the high table in the front, but we declined because it was just too hot in a December night. We ordered couple of their special: tuna nacho and Penang curry chicken Ramen. And one of theirs regular dish Tonkotsu reman.The tuna nacho tasted great with lots of toppings. The Penang curry chicken reman was ok and had things in there that shouldn't be. I believe there was raw onion in it. Just weird. The curry wasn't anything special. You can buy a can of curry paste in Asian supermarket. I use that to make my curry, and it tested the same. The Tonkotsu reman was traditional, and it tasted great. The roasted pork was sad and super thin. The noodles had the right texture.

Here are my ratings:Ambience 3 stars-they live up to the name of the restaurant. Tsunami translated means tidal wave and the decor inside was reminiscent of the sea. The boards above the bar and the Japanese prints around the restaurant. However, it's a small restaurant and only has 1 restroom for each gender.Service 2 stars-They quoted me 20 mins, but didn't get called until an hour later. If I didn't go back and check, we wouldn't have eaten until after 8pm. They need a better reservation system to notify their guests. However, staff were friendly. They just were not organized.Food 4 stars-flavor and presentation were great. Giving 4 stars because the noodles were a little overcooked, it may have been sitting too long before they brought it out. Look at captions for food critique.If you go on a weekday, I think it won't be as busy and won't have to wait like we did. We went on a very busy night.

Cozy little place, great for when it's cold out! I had the chicken Ramen, the chicken was fried and came in a separate fry basket. My daughter got the spicy pork, both were good. Service was good, parking is on the street with meters or in the parking garage, not sure of the cost. Our soups were $13.00 & $14.00 each. They serve alcohol, however, I didn't have any. Tables are small, very cozy place.

Craving ramen, Yelp directed me to Tsunami close to our Airbnb in downtown Frederick. Top-rated, I went in hopeful.Walking in around noon for lunch on an April Friday, I got a seat at the bar easily. Staff were friendly, attentive, and my food came out quickly (as did the check). Great service!Enjoying ramen around the world in my travels, I was disappointed in my ramen. The red curry ramen comes with pork, but the egg wasn't properly cooked for ramen. (The yolk was overcooked and hard.) The flavors also didn't pop. Everything was muted. The wontons on top add a little crunch, but eat it right away before they get soggy. The milk tea boba came with some syrup inside that took away from the milk tea flavor. It was way too sweet. (I have sweet tooth so if I found it too sweet, it's really too sweet.)It's possible I ordered wrong so I'd love to give it a second chance when I return to Frederick. Also, the staff were excellent and the space is beautiful, decorated with murals everywhere.

This is a great Japanese restaurant tucked away on the second floor of a small building. We went for their lunch special and I thought both the tuna was very fresh, as well as the cook on all the items in the bento box. A great deal for lunch and also fresh fish that is quite surprising for the area. I'd definitely be back!

Loved the pork steam buns and Korean shrimp pancake!!!!!!Small restaurant but I found it to be delicious on a cold night!

Every time I visit Frederick I've got to visit Tsunami. The ramen here is one of my favorites in the DMV and is truly under rated. I don't know what it is about the place but the broth for the Tsunami bowl always hits. The takoyaki is a great addition to have on the side but don't be like me and dunk the tskoyaki in the ramen. It won't end well, I regret the dunking but completely recommend Tsunami for their food.

Placed a late night order and the rice was overcooked mush. The soft boiled egg yolk was hard and the whites were half cooked somehow. Sorry to say, it was so disappointing, I couldn't finish it. :(
