Tsunami: steaks-seafood-sushi


In downtown Charleston near the corner of Market and East Bay is where the steaks, seafood, and sushi restaurant Tsunami can be found. My first experience at Tsunami was with my dad. It was recommended to us by his then girlfriend who acted a little too young for her age, and who for some reason I always pictured with a cosmopolitan or mojito in hand.

I was expecting a cheap sushi place that one might find on Venice beach in Miami, but I was wrong. Its style of decoration is Asian with a modern twist; blue lights, a large fish tank, and a bar. Dark wood and black boothes along the walls makes a more intimate space, yet the restaurant does a great job with making the space flow. Yes, maybe somewhat Miami Beach, but chic.

The atmosphere is young and fresh with quick service and great sushi. This is a great place to go for the young couple or those who are tired of the classic Southern restaurants speckled across downtown Charleston. You will not find elderly couples from the Carnival cruise ships or large, 10+ family groups with screaming kids.

The dining hours are from 4:30pm-12am and the bar hours are from 4:30pm-2am. I highly recommend stopping by some time for their modern atmosphere and fresh sushi.
