Out with friends who just arrived in Vancouver and I suggested to go to Tsunami Sushi. They really enjoyed the "Little Boats" and the waitress was really efficient and nice to us. The food was a little bit pricy, but it cost us about $45 per person, so not so bad. I recommend it.

The floating boats at the sushi bar are cute, although when we arrived, relatively near closing, they were empty, other than a few with little piles of wasabi or pickled ginger. The ambiance is lacking when you are watching empty little boats float by. In any event, I'm happy with the standard conveyor belt if the fish is good. the fish was ifne (as is the case everywhere in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island), but the rice was clearly not sushi rice. Also, the wasabi tasted more like some kind of western spice. My Japanese wife and I were amazed, because we have lived in Asia and have eaten sushi in several countries. Even in small midwestern U.S. cities that are not cosmopolitan, we have never been served sushi that appears to have been made with standard rice, rather than sushi rice. There was absolutely no flavor of sushi rice, which must be made with sushi vinegar. As an aside, this was also the most expensive sushi that we have found at a conveyor belt-type sushi restaurant. We ate only a small sampling of sushi and left, hungry and disappointed. By the way, this review requires a rating for all items, even though on option (which is disallowed) is "unknown." I really don't have any comments on the service itself, but I am forced to pick something in order to get the review accepted.

Started of with a yummy miso soup and a House salad. What deal that was ! There were lots of sushi dishes to chose from the Floating Sushi Bar and what I didn't see I simply ordered it from our server. What I really liked about this place was that the sushi tasted authentic. The rice wasn't too mushy or too sweet as can often be the case in the cheaper places and the portions were good value. Reminded me a lot of Japan where these bars are common place and designed to give value and quick service. We will definitely be back.

Went the other night with friends and everything was excellent. The food was very tasty and I especially loved their spicey tuna and salmon belly with bonito flakes. They were both different than the usual stuff. I have heard that this place was on the pricey side but I found it to be very reasonal. I think its easy to eat a lot a sushi because it’s all very tempting and fun to try. Piece for piece though, their prices are excellent. I eat a lot of sushi on a weekly basis so I know my pricing and have tried all the good sushi places. This place has both. It’s been around forever and now I know why.

The food was OK, I would like to taste it again but i am not passinate about it.
We were advised 15min to have a seat at 6pm on a weekday but it took almost 40 mins. so it was so annoying.
However, food was tasty and seats were comfy to enjoy supper.
I tried a combo and a california rolls plate. But each of us get served at different times so some of us had to watch others eating. I would recommend kalamari sushi.

We've been going to Tsunami for many years now. We started going when we had no kids and enjoyed the ambiance and qualtiy . What has been great about this place is once we had kids , they turned out to love this place as well ! It's been consistently good for us and it's such a relief when we ask our kids where they want to go eat , they both say "Tsunami Sushi "versus some junk food joint. It's a lot of fun and one of our favorites.

Tsunami is a fun place to eat. I like the floating boats and the chefs make the sushi right in front of you. The service is fine but the sushi itself just isn't good. Perhaps it's because the plates have gone around a few too many times. Some of the fish on those boats just look awful! The karage and the dumplings were good though (and were still warm). I'll return again one day when I'm in a hurry to grab a quick bite.

After a busy afternoon shopping at robson street, my friend and I decided to go for sushi, and not knowing exactly were to go, we decided to try Tsunami, since is fairly popular and all the signs of awards received by the place sounded promising. We were greeted at the door by a very un-friendly woman, who was clearly very tired of dealing with customers. We asked for a table for two, and she asked if we wanted the window or the bar, and since we were hungry we told her that id did not matter, whatever was faster was fine, as she reply that the bas was faster, so we sat down to wait. a group of three people came by and were seated, then a couple, and then one more couple, and they were all seated and ordering food, and we were still waiting! we asked the angry lady what was going on, and she keept angryily saying "but they are seated by the window, and you said you wanted the bar, and the bar is faster!" looking at us like we were stupid. not understanding what the problem was with the window (later we realized, is coverd by som construction stuff) and how come the bar was faster, we were finally told we could sit by the bar; I have to say, is the worst "service" i've received in a very long time. Now to the food: every single little dish of wasabi looked old, and as another reviewer mentioned, some of the dishes are absolutely unknown for the unexperienced sushi eater, and there is not a lot of people to ask questions to. Some of the rolls were ok, but some tasted like they have been seating there for a while. I can assure you, I've had better and much cheaper sushi at Fujiya, so the boat thing is just not worth it.

So we went to Tsunami sushi. I had always wanted to try conveyor belt sushi, I think this is the closest to that in Vancouver. It was really fun to sit at the sushi bar and watch all the boats go by and pick what I wanted to eat. However, I'm not a huge sushi expert so I found myself wondering what was in many of the dishes on the conveyor belt. This is probably my fault but twice I wanted to pick tuna but picked some kind of smoked salmon instead. So I didn't get exactly what i wanted. Service was great, miso soup was very nice. I found the oysters on the conveyor belt a little too strong on the vinegar. The prices seemed pretty high overall, you are def. paying for the boat experience, I would say it was worth it if I knew enough to pick what I wanted off the boats. I enjoyed it but I would think twice about going back.

The srevice and ambiance were fantastic at this place but nothing really blew me away, the rolls were tasty but the selection was so-so, Not to many menu items and i had heard they had great spicy sashimi, THEY DO NOT HAVE SPICY SASHIMI!!! There regular sashimi tasted fresh, the miso soup was good and everything was really solid but nothing blew me away i think your mostly paying for the room which is considerd a status thing to some people which is why 'supposably' celebrities stop by. Basically you have your choice of whatever comes floating by on boats or a handfull of things on the menu, they have a great mud pie though and id recommend the house roll but like i said Not fantastic not terrible just solid.
