The social media post also noted that, beginning in January 2027, the Harbison Tsunami restaurant will transition to Kahlo Mexican Kitchen and Sushi, dubbing it “an exciting concept combining modern Mexican cuisine, sushi and a vibrant dining experience.”
Tsunami, which is open from 4 to 10 p.m. daily, is located along a stretch of Bower Parkway that is near the popular Regal Columbiana Grande movie theater and a host of other businesses and restaurants. A new Urban Air Adventure Park is set to open Sept. 2 not far west of where Tsunami is located. The restaurant is in the midst of the busy Harbison commercial area that includes a roster of big box stores, hotels, eateries, the Columbiana Centre mall and more.
