Most Disliked
Some guests find the popularity of Tsunami Beach Bars leads to crowded weekends, especially Saturday at peak hours, which can result in longer wait times for food and drink. During busy evenings, the noise level can escalate, making conversations difficult. A few diners have mentioned that certain menu items, while tasty, might not meet their expectations for portion size compared to similar offerings elsewhere. On occasion, inconsistency with service speeds during peak periods has been an issue. These factors can dent an otherwise stellar experience for those aiming for a quieter meal.

Had a lovely time at Tsunami Beach Bar in Southampton! We tried the pizza, fish and chips, and a burger – all absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and full of flavour. Big thanks to Hanah and Liviu for the brilliant service – so friendly and attentive. Always such a warm welcome from Nick and Lois too. This place is a hidden gem and definitely a must-visit if you're in the area!

We have been to Tsunami Beach Bars Southampton a couple of times for lunch since it opened. Great friendly and attentive staff throughout. We loved the food and drinks, especially their special Tsunami sauce. Great value for money for a family of 4 and so much choice. Our children loved the swing seats located upstairs, plus the comfy lounging beanbags. We heard some fantastic live music during our time there, which created a welcoming atmosphere and we will definitely be back for more of the seafood sharing platter and the slow cooked ribs.

First visit there and loved it! Sophie welcomed us when we came in and looked after us the whole visit. We popped in for lunch, and service was quick and the food tasted great! Didn’t have to wait long, good portion sizes and great atmosphere for midday. Sophie even checked on us to see if the Aircon was too cold. Will definitely be back.

Came to watch England vs SA and the atmosphere was awesome! Good mix of fans too! Owners are a couple from Joburg I believe. Gorgeous bar with a big screen projector upstairs. Live music venue as well. If you want super tasty, super quick food & massive portion sizes.. this is your spot! It’s by no means fancy food, but the value for money is ridiculous! They have a large selection of South African beers available… and all the drinks are very reasonably priced considering it’s in the city centre. They don’t have Sky Sports yet, so they can only air games that are being shown on TNT Sports (for now)

Just had the most tender Calamari outside my hometown. Being Portuguese from the port city of Setúbal the capital of fried Cuttlefish, octopus and squid, I was amazed the calamari was exactly as it should. Wife had the Tsunami Prawn meal, and she was amazed as well. Portion's were very generous for a more than fair price. Congratulations to the house! And thanks for hitting that Portuguese soft spot called "Saudade". Felt home for a while.
