Charming

Located in the heart of Cooper Young, a historic Midtown restaurant and retail destination, Tsunami is a Pacific Rim-inspired restaurant where guests can feel like globetrotters from the comfort of their own table.

Award-winning owner and Chef Ben Smith fuses various ethnic cuisines—from Asia and the South Pacific to France and the American South—to create unique and flavorful small plates and seafood specialties.

The cozy restaurant, adorned with local art and handmade accents, offers a unique bar centerpiece with fine wines and liquors, local draft beers, and daily-rotating specialty cocktails.

Consistently named “Best Seafood Restaurant” in the Memphis Magazine and Memphis Flyer, coveted Tsunami entrées including a spice-crusted tuna with wasabi vinaigrette, beef tenderloin with smoked chile butter, and roasted seabass with black Thai rice and soy beurre blanc.

Arrived on time, order appetizers and a bottle of wine. We place food order and had to wait an hour before food was received. I had never been to a restaurant where we had finished our bottle of wine long before food arrived. The food did not meet our expectations it was ok. I will not go again.

The food is always great. The service is very responsive to our needs. My husband has a special diet and they always come up with dishes he can eat. Chef Ben does a great job with everything, especially seafood. We’ve been going for decades and never tire of it!

Consistently geat food. Friendly service! Tsunami is one of my favorite restaurants in midtown. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly. The only miss is in the level of professionalism. The casualness of staff wearing hats or sporting tattoo sleeves doesn't match the excellence of the food. Personally, I find tattoos unappealing when I'm eating. They are incongrous with "best in class" that you could otherwise achieve. I'd require a sleeve or makeup to cover them. I'll keep coming back.

I had the special with Barramundi and cream corn with a Sriracha based cream sauce. It was phenomenal. Great venue, amazing food. Thanks Tsunami for making a birthday dinner successful.
