Tsunami, of course, means big wave and this sculpture wave form runs around each section of the expansive restaurant creating an interesting unique space. The sections are Tsu; traditional Japanese cuisine, dedicated to sushi and sashimi. A bar and lounge and another section called Nami, a teppanyaki style steakhouse where chefs show their cooking skills, serving stir-fried meats and vegetables that are cooked and eaten off a teppan or tabletop grill.

Our visit was to Nami, which offers 4 grilling stations with 3 stoves at each station. Trained Thai cooks perform and entertain similar to the style you find at the famed Benihana's restaurants. We were offered a crunchy appetizer from Tsu, the fried salmon skin sushi, and we then prepared for our Teppanyaki meal at Nami. Guests may select from Kobe, Matsuzaka, or Australian beef, seafood or a seafood/meat combination. The ol' favorite of surf and turf, or Phuket lobster and Australian sirloin, in this case, is a nice combination. Seafood selections include, Chilean Seabass at about 800 baht, Live Japanese Scallops at 1,200 baht, Blue Fin Tuna at 2,200 baht, and Australian Abalone at 2,800 baht while the choice of meats of 300 grams include Tochigi Beef Striploin at 4,500 baht, Hitachi Beef at 5,000 baht, and Kobe Beef at 6,000 baht. Main courses come with a choice of two soups, salad and a grilled appetizer.

There is a selection of old and new world wines priced from 2,000 to 5,000 baht along with a good selection of sakes plus Asahi beer.

Servers are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient as you may expect in a very quality hotel. As far as the cost of dining here; Tsu is a bit less expensive, with Nami dining costing patrons 4,000 to 10,000 baht for 2 persons, without drinks.
