A terrific night, brilliant service awsome food and brilliantly presented.

With many Japanise outlets it can be a bit stuffy but here it's easy going.

Wonderful food, and great service for a very reasonable price, we would thoroughly recomend this place to anyone.

In fact we are going back for a birthday soon, absolutely brilliant!!!

Tsunami in cosmopolitan Clapham does Japanese food in a distinctly different way. Loud pop music of dubious taste rather taints the atmosphere and tends to distract you from the finely cooked and beautifully presented food. Good wine should complement the food and a good ambience too has to enhance the experience. Waiting staff who speak little English or are too busy with their coiffure are a small let down for Tsunami. You'll love the food but, wait for it, the best bit is the washrooms. Drenched in the heady scent of incense with shining Buddhas laughing silently against a soundscape of gentle music, there's something more interesting to take away from Tsunami than the memory of a delightful meal. With a table full of loud chums you'll be fine but don't expect to savour the delicacies in utter refinement - there's a Clapham meets Japan oddity here.

Since it opened the tide has turned at Tsunami and the once friendly, knowledgeable Japanese staff that created a great buzz talking to the many regular Japanese dining there have moved to other shores. Refined chatter has been replaced by loud throbbing music not too conducive to a meal appreciating the delicate flavours of what remains consistently good Japanese food, beautifully presented.

It's not quite Clapham's answer to Buddha Bar and isn't comfortable enough to justify the prices but the unisex washrooms, clouded with incense, oriental music and gleaming Buddha will make one part of your evening memorable. Go once if you are local and go with plenty of friends, but don't make a special journey.
