Tsunami

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.

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.

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.

We frequent the Vista location. Always spot on. This is the second time we have visited the harbison location. Each time equally disappointed. The hibachi chicken tasted old, like left over and reheated. The hibachi shrimp was over cooked and tough. The veggies were not hot. The sushi was at room temperature, sloppy in appearance and fell apart. The tempura shrimp that was on one of the rolls was cold and tasted like it had been fried the day before and refrigerated. Do not waist your time or money here. People frequently confuse this location w the vista location, and leave good reviews.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

My wife and I hang out in this area all the time and have tried most of the surrounding restaurants. We decided to try Tsunami and were definitely not impressed. The sushi was very underwhelming. The waitress was good, but it took a long while before our food was brought to us. The atmosphere was ok, but this is definitely not my first pick for a sushi restaurant. My wife and I went with a couple of friends who got hibachi. Although I didn't try it, the chicken did not look very appetizing. I'm all for second chances, but I really don't think I'll be giving this restaurant another chance when there are much better restaurants in the area.
