Tsunami Buffet

I don't mind admitting that I am a sushi addict... and that I am extremely picky. A few years ago I found the Tsunami Buffet in Morehead City... and after meeting their authentic Sushi Chef, I was immediately hooked!! Not only is he a skilled artison, but he takes pride in sharing his culture and his talent, displaying the skills in making real sushi.
Having been to Japan, I love the variety of Sushi offered at Tsunami, the authentic dipping sauces... and REAL chopsticks... the right way to eat sushi.
The buffet itself has well over 100 choices of everything from Sesame Chicken to Pork on a stick, broiled salmon to stuffed mushrooms, Yakisoba to spinach... it's literally incredible!! The salad bar is one of the best stocked, cleanest with one of the widest varieties of items to choose from I have ever seen. And did I mention the desert bar with authentic Oriental treats!!
The service is always friendly and efficient, and there is one last treat as one leave after a hearty meal... the wishing pond. I've been to a lot of "Chinese Buffets" in my years... and most often I've been disappointed. But Tsunami Buffet... knocks it out of the part with great food and service. JM

Clean restaurant. Buffet line food was hot and fresh. Large variety to choose from. Worth every penny.

Sweet & Sour Chicken, so crisp & perfectly golden brown on the outside, fluffy white meat cooked to perfection on the inside. The Spring Rolls were crunchy and seasoned just right. The stuffed mushrooms melted in my mouth. Crab Salad can't be beat. Best experience to date!

It seems there are two types of reviews. You either love it or hate it. Sorting by date you see a 5, then a 1, then another set of fives and ones, etc. There were 10 of us and we were seated immediately without a reservation. There were several large parties already seated but they still had one large table empty. As we were sitting down, they took our drink orders. The buffet line is huge. I posted 6 sections below but there are that many more, including a large section where you chose ingredients and they grill them up for you hibachi style. Lots of desserts, veggies and meat dishes. If you can't find something you like, then you are truly hard to please. It is a Buffet, so expect buffet food.

Alittle pricey, but food has been good on every visit. We drive 1.2 hours here to eat. Love the sushi, it's nice to see them make it and right on the buffet for you.

Like anything else very expensive it's like $17 for the buffet for some people that's not bad but if you're on a fixed income like I am you can't afford to go as often as what you would like. I feel it's a little bit cheaper I would be there twice

It’s nice place to eat.

Very nice selection of food, very clean and very cordial staff...appreciate they were open on Christmas day and kept us from starving!

Great place to eat your one big meal of the day. They have large selection of Asian and American food to pick from. They will grill you a fresh plate of typical Chinese food. In addition, they have wide selection of pre cooked things too. If sushi is your thing you will enjoy their selection, see my posted pics.

Only two things they can improve on is the speed of service in the grill area. Have been here 3 times now, and this last visit, I had to wait over 20 minutes for them to cook it. Also they need to stock the desert area better, they ran out of chocolate ice cream, along with the popsicles too.

The food was delicious everything was fresh and wonderful! Will definitely return again!

My first time at this place and I had my fill of seafood, a great place to dine!

Always good. Great sushi options.

Endless variety of salad, fruit, sushi, hibachi, buffet foods, desserts. The black pepper chicken is the best. Its not all the most amazing food, but at the price it's an incredible value.

Their house chicken (peppered chicken) is the best!! Their green beans are so delicious! There isn't much I don't like to eat. I'm not a fan of sushi, but my kids will eat plate after plate. The Hibachi guys are great to watch when they are cooking!

Good food as always. Had great service😘

Woow woow woow I loved the sushi !!!
They have a huge amount of food, salads, sea food, hibachi and sushi!!! So I really enjoyed the place, everything that I tried was delicious but the sushi wooow ... oohhh and the dessert as well they have a lot of different desserts and they were amazing. You definitely need to go to eat in this place. Plus it was suuuuper cheap ! 5 starts !

The hibachi was really delicious & the sushi bar has a lot more selections to choose from. The service was great & the Chinese food bar was excellent as well.

One of favorite restaurants to go for family meals. It has 4 long bars of different items as well as sushi and cook while you watch. You can also buy food by the pound to take out.

Food was finally good this time. They got the sushi back.

The food was kept fresh on the buffet with an excellent selection of dishes to select from. We will be going back.
