Tsunami

Disappointment

I went to the tsunami restaurant because I read about good reviews but it was a big disappointment. The food was quite good on the whole but the atmosphere and the service were below what i was expecting.

The food here is amazing. If you go you have try the Black Cod and the Aubergine. It is expensive but well worth it. You don't have to trek all the way up to London to go to Nobu. The food is just as good and the atmosphere is alot more relaxed. The decor is slightly date but the location is tucked away and the service was really really friendly. If you are out celebrating an anniversary then this is the place for you. Make sure you book well in advance thought. They are normally always full

Destination dining in Clapham North

What makes Tsunami particularly noteworthy is its diamond in the rough quality. There aren't many restaurants south of the river that North Londoners would travel to, but this, alongside Chez Bruce, is one of them.

The minimalist interior means that the accoustics aren't great and, on a busy night, can make for a noisy dining experience. And service isn't always what you'd hope for in a restaurant that's got such a 'must visit' reputation.

All this becomes irrelevant when you sample the food. This place is hailed as the Nobu of South London, and the sushi is outstanding. Sashimi and nigiri are great, but other slightly more off beat menu items, like the Sunkiss Salmon Sashimi and the Tuna Tataki are also noteworthy. The black cod in sweet miso sauce is a favourite of many, although some find it a little sweet.

It's not a cheap night out, but it doesn't have to be break the bank expensive if you stick to a glass or two of house wine and some carefully selected sashimi.

And, while you're not as likely to be rubbing shoulders with Posh 'n' Becks as you might be at Nobu, not everyone would think that was a bad thing.

Banzai!

OK. Described by one paper as one of the best sushi restaurants in the UK. But based in Clapham North by the Railway pub. Go up the high street near the Clapham High Street Train Station.

Not sure about the reviewer's comments but its excellent. Definately a must for all Sushi Fans and those who like other ypes of Japanese food. It's been there for nearly three years and is a bit of a stalwart.

Decor is looking teeny bit dated now but its still roomy and comfortable. Perfect for a night out with mates or that special person. Typical meal with around 5 - 6 courses and a bottle of good wine ill cost you arounf £80. Trust me though. Well well worth it.

Excellent Black Cod, Aubergine, Sushi is always fresh and the staff are very wecloming. A touch slow onn occasion though but this is mainly onn the weekends when it gets quite packed. Some times limits dining times as a result.

Avoid like the plague on Valentine's night as the place check by jowl full of single tables and its just too close for comfortable conversation.
