Brookline Japanese Restaurant Review: Tsunami in Brookline

Tsunami is a small Japanese food restaurant near Coolidge Corner in Brookline, MA. I've eaten here on several ocassions, mostly because it has the one dish that is a rear find in the US - the Kastu Curry.

The Restaurant overall is nothing special. The bathroom smelled of sewage and the value is not good. For the price, the dishes are not as intricate.

Some of the positive aspects of the restaurant is that you can bring your own alcohol. There is a good liquor store around the corner. They sell the great sake ji-zake Hakkaisan..

Tsunami has some unique dishes. One specialty theme is their "Roll Combos". They take a fish theme - Unagi, Salmon or Tuna. The combination offers three different kinds of rolls using that fish for under $20. Its enough to fill you up and leaves you hungry for more.

Overall, I was not impressed by the taste or the price of this restaurant. If you want good Japanese food, I've recommend walking around the corner to "Takeshima" - a Korean owned Japanese food restaurant with adequate taste but low price - or to Fugakyu for a hig priced, but good quality meal - so I've heard.

Rating of 2 stars.
