Inside Tsunami

  • This review reflects the Lakewood Ranch location.

  • Sushi is consistently clean, fresh, and well-executed, with polished presentation.

  • The experience is bar-led: knowledgeable staff and a thoughtful sake program noticeably elevate the meal.

  • Best seats are at the bar if you want guidance, pairings, and interaction. Go early or late to get a seat.

  • Pricing is on the higher side, but you’re paying for service, design, and cohesion, not shortcuts.

  • The atmosphere is immersive and detailed, down to lighting and unexpected touches.

  • Minor hiss for broken social links on the website — noticeable only because everything else feels so considered.
