AmateurConciergeJune 6, 2018Great, somewhat authentic Thai at a great price point. I didn’t exactly fall in love with the chicken curry but the lotus root/shrimp salad was amazing for $10 so it gets a heart fersure
Behrad EatsDecember 2, 2014Get traditional dishes like the Spicy stir-fried pork picnic: red peppers, green peppers, eggplant, finger root, fresh peppercorns and central Thailand curry paste. Make sure you can handle the heat!
Liz TaylorOctober 9, 2014Do yourself a favor and try the khao soi. It's an obscure Thai dish that is impossible to find in DMV, and one of the most wonderful meals on planet Earth. Tsunami has it and it's DELICIOUS.
Jaimi GardnerOctober 5, 2016The food was really good. Got two types of sushi, which were both outstanding and very unique. We also got the green curry which was tasty, authentic but very spicy. Order medium. Highly recommended.
Ophir PelegSeptember 21, 2015An amazing place. Great service and awesome food. Don't miss the crab and shrimps sushi as well as the 'Tuna Lovers' one
Crispy rice cakes, mango salad, tom yum soup, garlic rice = 🙌🏽
Skip the sushi and go for the incendiary but well flavored and balanced traditional Thai dishes.
Brian BallanJuly 27, 2015Tyler Cowen says to get the tapioca chicken and thai vermicelli in chili peanut sauce
KrisSeptember 16, 2013For Briggs. Adorable mochi ice cream. (About the only dessert like thing they have)
They have an excellent 50% Groupon deal that pops up every now and again.
Bill HApril 12, 2011Happy hour: half price appetizers b4 8 pm & $3 off drinks Octopus, tuna tartar & wasabi shrimp Shunmai were the best. Beef sashimi was good but very meager.
Happy hour is not only at the bar, but throughout the whole restaurant!!
Steve SatranApril 8, 2012And by "most see," my buddy Daly means "must see"....mostly because he's usually bartending. ;-)
- The lounge above the bar is a most see! Nothing you thought a local sushi bar would have.
Jasamyn RobertsJanuary 11, 2014Service rushed us, I never got a spoon for tea, ran out of sugar -was told there was no more. He placed a Cali roll on my order and told me I ordered it, I know I hadn't so he told me to ask my son.
Will SimpsonJune 26, 2012Lava roll is like nothing you've had before. Wish that 6 star ratings existed
Wi, the hostess, is the best! Fave new spot on 14th..
When they say "hot" by a dish here, they are NOT fuckin' around. Be warned. Also, service can be ridiculously slow.
Charlie HalseyJanuary 14, 2011Thursday night, not enough servers, they take forever, good food, but service hasn't been great.

"I take back my initial tip - we live next door and order take out at least once a week. Crab wontons are delish and sushi is 👍🏽"

"If you have a lunch voucher for National Place (usually if you are traveling with a big group) the Fashion Roll here is a great choice."
