What locals are saying

Tsunami has been a Mt. Pleasant staple since 2004, with regulars long praising its fresh sushi, hibachi, and lively bar atmosphere. However, longtime local customers have flagged a noticeable quality drop they attribute to a suspected ownership change — citing thin, low-quality fish portions and a 'fresh frozen' feel on dishes that were once standouts. Service is friendly but the floor appears consistently understaffed for the volume.
