Editorial Review for Tsunami – by Linda Romine
The Scene
Painted cement floors and contemporary art on the walls add freshness to the otherwise-Spartan setting. Ask for a table near the front picture windows and you'll get the added bonus of some interesting people-watching.
The Food
Try delicious appetizers like crab and vegetable summer rolls with ginger-lime mayonnaise, or soups and salads, such as Thai fisherman's stew or squash soup with sage pesto. There are nearly a dozen fish entrées, including grilled mahi-mahi served with pickled ginger basmati rice and a wasabi beurre blanc. The coriander-dusted soft-shell crab on black beans with cherry tomato and corn salsa is also delicious.
Dish to Die For
Whet your appetite with pot sticker dumplings and chile-soy dipping sauce.

Just what I have been looking for. Great food, friendly and professional staff. The interior is artsy and relaxed. My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner there. We had the Mezze appetizer, scallops and basmati rice-delish, beef fillet with sides and we really went overboard with dessert. The bread pudding beignet with chocolate dipping sauce was slap-your-sister-satisfying. The chef even came out to greet us which was a plus. I highly recommend for those who are looking for something different and taste challenging.

The food at Tsunami is very good. However, there are alot of restaurants in Memphis with good food. I thought that the prices were way too high for the items listed on the menu. Four scallops and a small ( I mean small) amount of rice cost 22.00. The scallops were very good and well presented. My friend got the tuna. It was also very good and presented well. The atmosphere at Tsunami did not wow me either. The hostess took a good 10 minutes to realize we were even there. She was in the kitchen chatting. We had to flag a busy waiter down to finally go get her. The tables were small and close together. The restaurant gave off more of a cafe vibe than an elegant restaurant. This restaurant is also very loud. My friend and I had to try to talk over people several tables away. Waitstaff was also unimpressive. Too many nicer restaurants on Cooper Young for the money.
Pros: Food was very good
Cons: Price, Service and Ambience
