Phenomenal service. Delicious food. The only drawback here is that, at the time of writing this, they have no policy or staff training about how to handle a difficult customer. There was a drunk patron... I mean this guy was wasted. He was loud and clueless and was wandering from table to table attempting to strike up conversations with strangers as if he were in a bar. The only problem is that Mizu is not a bar. It's a rather nice Japenese Restaurant. Staff were tiptoeing around this guy and trying to avoid him. Which put a number of sober customers in very uncomfortable situations. This is a shame. I'm sure that Mizu is a perfectly wonderful experience on evenings when they're not serving the town drunk. They need policies and training to handle this kind of thing.
Sushi and appetizers weren’t out of the world delicious, but definitely not bad either. Katsu is crispy, would recommend that and the Carnival Roll. Reservations are helpful for weekends as it does get busy (was a bit crowded and loud).
First time coming to Mizu for lunch, what a great experience! They have great lunch special deals; I got the spicy tuna roll, the eel roll with avocado, and the boston roll. Great sushi and it came out really quick. We walked in with a group of 7 and they accommodated us immediately. Service was great and the indoor dining is really cool. I will definitely be back.
I’ve been eating at this place for years and it’s my go to spot for quick hibachi and the sushi is phenomenal. I also like the Japanese sodas with the little glass ball. It beats all the other spots in Winston (yes, even the “newer” places) for sushi quality and their lunch specials are a bargain. The sushi chefs are authentic and friendly. You can’t go wrong with any of the appetizers from the kitchen, including the scallops, lettuce wraps and dumplings..the white tuna fish tempura on the sushi appetizer menu is so so good - the texture and temperature is always consistent. The Chilean Sea Bass roll is delicious. I also love the filet or salmon hibachi dish and sometimes I add hibachi shrimp! My kid loves the mochi and masago sashimi; they always make my little one feel special when ordering from the sushi bar.
I cannot say enough positive things about this establishment. I have been coming here for years, and this is some of the best sushi I have ever had, and it is located here in my hometown, what a diamond! The staff is always courteous and friendly, ensuring you have what you need and checking in on you repeatedly. The sushi is always good, as well as the hibachi. I primarily get sushi when I come here because it is so good, but I have stray away and gotten hibachi before, and it was delicious as well, however their sushi trumps everything else on the menu. I usually start off with some sort of appetizer here, and this time I got the Japanese spring rolls, which were some of the best spring rolls I have had before. They were adequately filled and fried to perfection. I am also always impressed with their sanitation rating, as it is always a 98 or greater. I cannot recommend this place enough. There is ample parking, and the restaurant is pretty big, so no need to make reservations. Also, beware, they are closed on Tuesdays (weird), so do not try to go get your sushi on Tuesday like I did a few weeks ago.
