"Popular for its happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. with half-off nigiri and special drinks, Tsunami is also a popular refuge during Mardi Gras parades, as it sits on the corner of St. Charles and Poydras. Year-round, order a selection of the small plates from the grill menu, with highlights like salmon-wrapped snow crab, teriyaki chicken thighs, and panko-crusted pork cutlets, done katsu-style." - Beth D'Addono
