Tsunami is located in Cooper Young, a Midtown neighborhood and restaurant district. It's an intersection of international delights - within two blocks, you can eat Mexican, Irish, Korean, French, Chinese, low country, and soul food.

Tsunami serves Pacific Rim cuisine, which means that the menu contains lot of seafood and Asian-inspired dishes. Every night, there's a rotating list of "small plates", which are slightly smaller meals that are less expensive than regular entrees. Don't be fooled by the name, though - the small plates will easily fill you up.

I had the pan-seared salmon with a Portobello mushroom and bleu cheese.

The salmon was perfect in its simplicity - the only seasoning was some sea salt. The grilled mushroom was fresh and juicy, and though I can't tell you what was in it, that sauce was amazing. Last night, there was also a menu of small side items, all less than $6. You can't go wrong with the bacon-wrapped dates or Asian nachos.

For a dessert idea, try Tsunami's famed ginger donuts with some coconut gelato.
