Tsunami Vista

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%): 7.2Staff/service(25%): 7.0Value(25%): 7.0Overall: 7.1/10

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.

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.

The food was phenomenal & so are the prices!! We were seated quickly & within the first five minutes of being there our waiter got us started on our orders. We placed our food orders & got our food back very fast. The waiter was very nice and accommodating. Will be back soon!

Food was excellent. I had the hibachi steak which came with vegetables and steamed or fried rice. The steak was a decent portion about 6 oz with some mushrooms cooked in. The vegetables were good and the steamed rice was as you'd expect. In our party, we also had The Duffy Rolls which my son loved and Noodles with chicken, which my girlfriend enjoyed. We also had alcoholic drinks for happy hour which tasted good but were not as strong as I'd like. Overall I'd give the restaurant a solid 4/5 stars.

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!!!

I ordered out last night and got two rolls of sushi and was up all night with food poisoning. Not sure if it was the raw fish or what but I called to let them know what's going on and basically got no help since nobody else got sick and called.

Wonderful service, terrible sushi! Sushi was cut too thick, not that fresh and the rolls were so loose they fell apart trying to pick them up with chopsticks. Spicy mayo just tasted like mayo and no ginger with order. Best thing was the side salad. Pricey too. Pass.
