Diner Reviews
  • "Both the staff and food here were pretty great. Our server Jira (Jirawan?) helped me introduce my friend to trying sushi by telling us some of her personal stories and then gave recommendations. He ended up liking sushi. Yay! We ordered the Red Dragon, Yami Yami, and Unagi Lover. Each tasted amazing, had their own textures, and had colorful presentations. Thanks again to Jira for converting my friend =)"

  • "Food is great, probably one of the better sushi places I have but horrible service. I have been here several times and service 95% has been so slow."

  • "Food is always great! I travel all the way from Fremont to get sushi from Mizu. Next time I will leave the 1 year old at home- they weren't quick at all this time. Waitress would disappear and all we wanted to do was pay and leave before the little one got fussy."

  • "Me and my husband discovered this place one night when we were in Santana Row. We wanted to eat Sushi but not Blow Fish. We yelped and found this place. We tried it and got addicted; the sushi was amazing! We ordered in several visits and our favorites are the yami yami roll, super spider roll, salmon sashimi, honey moon special, alaska roll, the crunchy California roll (that's not its name but ask them for it), the butterfly roll and they are all so amazing and in huge portions. Get ready to be served some delicious hot miso soup on the house. Make sure you have reservations unless you want to have sushi at the bar and always make sure you order the honey moon special during your first visit. We love you Mizu!"

  • "We went here for a friend's birthday. The service was slow and our food was given to another table. The staff eventually figured it out but we waited for over 20 minutes for the dish. A little disappointing but we got over it. Otherwise, the ambience was great."

  • "This place has decent sushi, large portions, and a great atmosphere. There are large TV's to watch sports and big comfy booths for smaller parties. It gets very busy but staff is usually pretty attentive. However, I didn't give service 5 stars because our waiter was very rushed while taking our order and tried to leave the table before 2 of our guests had even ordered. Once our food was on the table, we were eating for about 10 minutes and we were not close to finishing but our waiter asked if we needed boxes. We felt he was rushing us to leave. Then once he dropped our check it took us flagging him down to run our cards. I understand that it's difficult to be so busy and get perfect service, but being rushed was noticeable."

  • "Service was slow. Server never asked for a drink order - set water down and left it at that. Missed out on wine sales. Sushi was good but nothing special. The location was convenient. We were visiting from out of town. "

  • "Came by for a quick bite to eat w a friend, afterwork on tues evening. Between the 2 of us we had dragon sushi, sashimi platter, raw shrimp sushi w fried shrimp heads --- there was nothing left on the plates aftetward! (well may be just the shreded white radish was left behind). To cap the night off we ordered ice cream.We were happy - our tummy was happy... We had good experience and plan to come back. Overall: Attentive service. Good food /portion. Relaxed atmosphere. Easy to find and good parking."

  • "My favorite roll is the yami yami with cream cheese. Never go wrong with it. What i like about this place is that the food looks exactly like the pictures. I come here as often as I can."

  • "First time to go to this restaurant. We heard about the great reviews so we decided to try it. The place was packed, very energetic, but the service was really slow. But since we met with some old friends, we didn't really notice how slow it was because we had a lot to talk about. But if it were to be just us and our kids, we would definitely notice. Our reservation was at 5:45pm and we did not walk out until 9pm. We had oysters, the crazy rock and roll, some raw fish, and don't remember the rest. Everything tasted great."

  • "Service was very good and food was delicious! Lack of customer service. After we arrived 5 minutes early, they cancelled our Open Table reservation. Not knowing this until a few days later when I read an e-mail from Open Table saying reservation was cancelled, I called the restaurant only to get a big run around. After 4 phone calls and speaking to 3 different people, I was told the restaurant would give me credit for my reservation even though we were 45 minutes late! What? I spoke loudly and clearly to the last person I spoke to and explained that we were not late and that we had purchased 2 appetizers and 5 entrees. Rather than apologize, the person gave me attitude and acted like she was doing me a favor by giving me the 100 points!"

  • "Every time I go to Mizu (and last week it was twice) I am consistently amazed at how fresh the sushi is. It may seem to be the touristy thing to do but my son and I got the sushi boat. Wow it was just great! I'll be back!"
    Dined on 3/24/2014
  • "Food was good, but not outstanding. Presentation was very nice. Price was rather high, but seems like more for ambiance and the wow factor on the large number of different rolls, not because of the food itself. Quality of the food was good, but the combinations of several rolls were kind of odd, things that really didn't go together. My adult kids (20's) like it as it's hip and trendy, but I've been to smaller, less "impressive" sushi places that were much better. Seems like it caters to folks who don't like or are afraid to try raw food. Sashimi choices were just OK. Drinks were very good, however. Quite strong and delicious. Good variety of Sake. Nice for sushi beginners I guess."

  • "Great food,, great variety (within Asian cuisine) . Good value."

  • "The only gripe is the lunch menu prices are about the same as dinner prices and should be cheaper...otherwise a great casual restaurant for semi formal occasions and celebrations."

  • "The food was great! It would have been better if we had a better server. He was absent through out our meal. We had to ask the guy that was picking up the dirty dishes if he could get us utensils. When the bill was brought to our table three different people tried to collect it and was trying to hurry us up in paying. They should have been our servers since they were good at showing up at our table every few seconds to see if we paid the tab."

  • "This is the 3rd time in 4 years we've had dinner on Valentine's Day at Mizu. The restaurant never disappoints with its great food. We have two young boys (12 and 9 years old), and they love coming here, too. This year, we ordered a number of specialty sushi rolls, including the Caterpillar, Yami Yami, Lango, and Snow Mountain. With the exception of the Caterpillar, we were trying the others for the first time. They were all terrific. We also ordered the chicken teriyaki and the pork katsu dinners for the boys, and the portions were very generous. We also got the calamari, and the texture was very tender and plump, different than what you would get at most places when you order the fried calamari."

  • "I went here this past Saturday evening with my wife, my child (almost 2-years old), and my mother-in-law. When we arrived, there were but a few people already seated. By the time we got our food, the place was popping, and there was a line out the door. Granted, the service was slightly slow, but it was friendly and mostly attentive. However, the food is excellent. Some of the best sushi I've had in a very long time. And the price is reasonable. It seems rather hip on the inside, too--the place has a good vibe, and the modern decor accentuates the good vibe rather than create a pretentious feel. It's nice. We will return soon."

  • "Lots and lots and lot of combination sushi rolls to choose from -- probably not "authentic" Japanese but perfect for a fusion experience. Very fresh ingredients too!"

  • "My family and I have dined here multiple times, most recently on New Year's Day. We enjoyed several dishes, including many of the rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious! We especially love the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the Rainbow Blossom Roll. Our kids devoured two orders of Gyoza and multiple bowls of Miso soup. We will be returning again soon! Happy tummies all around!"

  • "Nice restaurant, a bit pricey. Lunch bento boxes are good. Teriyaki chicken was a little dry. Tea was NOT offered, only ice water was served. Had to ask for hot tea and ask if there was a charge for it. No charge, but only served to those who want it."

  • "Booked a reservation at Mizu for my boyfriend's bday dinner. The food was all really great and the service was good as well. Only hang-up was that I made a reservation for 6 people at 6:30 and when I arrived they still made us wait another 10 minutes as they set up the table, but were seating walk in groups of 4."

  • "Almost always outstanding food. As an admitted sushi snob, its hard to go wrong here or find better presentation. Mildly more expensive than many run of the mill sushi places, but the ambiance, consistency and quality are all great. Bento lunch is a very good value. Staff for the most part tries hard to deliver."
