“ At first they sat us at a "times out" table lol that's a terrible place to place a table, against a brick wall. But the waitress moved us to a better table with some elbow room. My fav sushi spot. Food is always too notch! Right across from the best music spot Legends after dining out with friends we just walk across. ”
“ Nice place! We got two sushi’s, they were good! The tuna one has many rice for me, but was okay! I’d recommended it. ”
“ Our go-to place for sushi. The food was amazing as always. The server had great wine recommendations. The plum wine was really good!! The only critique was that, when we arrived, the servers were in a meeting, so it took about 10 minutes to have our initial interaction with our waitress. Suggest to have someone watching for patrons coming in while meetings are happening. Will definitely be back. ”
“ Amazing sushi! Some very creative flavors & combinations. Eggplant miso appetizer is hard to beat. Great location, clean, friendly & knowledgeable staff. We've done several sushi rolling classes for customers and these are a ton of fun - their chef staff is entertaining & skilled! Good vibe & atmosphere. ”
“ The downtown was dead, and bars were empty, but this place was popping. Dylan was a little new, but his effort made up for it. Kyla knew her Japanese whiskeys and helped me in the fold. Real talk don't go exotic. Stay mainstream, and you'll have bangers all night. Kanpai! ”
“ The team has a lot of heart, but is fighting an up-hill battle. If ownership does not assume more of a hands-on executive role, I’m afraid the Tsunami we’ve known and loved for over 2 decades will wither to a memory. They would probably do well to drop the bottom 1/3 of their menu and focus on executing the top 2/3 with greater excellence and speed. To their benefit, they have recently moved back to the good ol’ days of a paper bar menu vs. the frustrating QR codes of a Covid era that ultimately land you either on the wrong page or, at best, an outdated listing where your favourite selection may not even be available. All in all, they remain the premier sushi nite out in Lafayette— though, it is clear that the energy has diminished likely due to a tightening of policies such as staff no longer being offered a shift drink. I recommend: Haiku (with gin instead of the standard tequila), Drink Spicy Edamame, Appetizer Nigiri dinner (fully dressed is key), Entree Candy Cane, Roll Chocolate Tsunami (definitely mention to your server if you’re celebrating!), Desert ”
“ Excellent restaurant, delicious food, great service. I was very impressed with the menu as it has so many different varieties. User friendly, items are explained with ingredients, and pictures. Presentation was beautiful. Plates were made for good Price VS value. Staff are super nice, helpful and beautiful. Thomas and Maddie were super nice and attentive. Dessert was also delicious. Chocolate cake was balanced and not too sweet. Restrooms were clean and maintained. Design was nice, separate are for bar, second floor and main dining area. Also a Sushi bar area where you can enjoy the chefs making the sushi rolls. In addition to a separate bar area where you can enjoy a drink. Highly recommend this place from date, or any other occasion. Keep up the good work. ”
“ This place has the most high quality sushi I’ve had in a long time. It’s a little pricey but it is worth the money between the food and drinks there’s not much to be disappointed about. 10/10 ”
