    Our server wasn't the best. We were friends gathering for our Christmas tradition and he was rude saying "you realize Christmas was 2 days ago and it's over right?" He also questioned what was in our gift bags we were exchanging with each other, none of your business at all sir! And he asked us about 4 times if we wanted dessert, when we told him no thank you. We had to ask for water refills multiple times. We then felt very rushed and like he was pushing us out near the end of our meal, we didn't appreciate that. We were charged a corking fee when it was a twist top wine bottle and nowhere else charges for that, but he rudely told us it was a law after the fact. We weren't impressed with this location, we will go back to the other location we usually go to.

    Order was wrong. Took the restaurant more than 30 minutes to correct it, and then they treated it as though we ordered an extra item, so the kitchen didn't prioritize it, then they tried to charge us extra for the correct item. It ruined the overall experience. The manager and server involved did not handle it well, should have comp'd the meal that was wrong, should have moved faster to correct it. The rest of our group were done eating by the time correct meal was served - in a take-out container, no less (I think they were trying to give us a hint, although for as long as they took to correct it, we were ready to leave). Really disappointing experience. I eat at Tsunami all the time, and usually it's superb food and service. This one experience has soured my desire to go back or to recommend it to anyone. They really flubbed it.

    The Tsunami remodel in Sugarhouse was startling: a serene, beautiful re-invention of the once raucous space. The comfortable booths are lined around the perimeter in easy delivery reach of the main kitchen and sushi bar. True to reputation, the sushi, entrees and appetizers are always superb, with an attention to detail and finish. We had nigri, sashimi, rolls, mussel shooters, baked mussels and sunomono salad. All were pure umami. But one appetizer was the unexpected star of the evening: calamari. I mean, we love calamari, but we never order it a second time as the last dish. Tsunami has mastered the recipe. It has a feather light coating, crisp on the outside with a thin soft layer underneath. We had to have it one more time. Sublime. One observation, along with the new modernization of the Tsunami interior, waitstaff now take meal orders on handhelds and bring you your total bill on a tablet. Our server held the tablet up, along with the three suggested tip percentages, for me to docu-sign. I dunno, it just felt like a tacky ending to a classy meal. I'd urge management to leave a bill at the table, tablet or paper, and let me decide my tip in my time. Don't worry, we're generous. We'll be back soon.

    I took my son here for lunch. The ambience was good - it was quiet. The server was decent - nothing great or terrible about the service. Very average. The food was delicious and fairly priced.
