Mizu

It's been 5 years since I wrote a review for Mizu, and it's still just as delicious and amazing as it was 5 years ago. They no longer do half price days. They have removed some of the yummy rolls from their menu and discontinued the train of sushi that ran around the bar, but the freshness and quality hasn't changed. The service is great, the food is amazing.

We come here all the time. It's our go to Sushi spot for this area and we always recommend this place if anyone asks us. I've never left disappointed. I really wish they were able to bring the Sushi Train back because it was the only place around this area that had it. The main reason I like the train is because you can try all kinds of rolls without getting the full roll which is really good for anyone just starting to eat sushi and even for experienced sushi eaters. I've never visited and it was dirty and we've always received great service. You can come as you are or dress up, there's a mix of everyone in between, just come! I would say very large groups will be easy but call ahead, it's not a huge place. On the weekend the wait is usually around 20-30 minutes and at peak time (5-6) it's taken 45-59 minutes for us before. We usually wait to go until after 6 to be seated just after the dinner rush. I usually try a new roll every time I go. My favorite roll is the Red Dragon (smoked salmon, avocado, tuna, cilantro, masago, jalapeño, spicy honey sauce). It has a nice kick to it but the spicy honey sauce finishes it up nicely. For a veggie roll or a flavorful refreshing roll, I'd recommend, try the Mr. Green too

I ordered the Bento box, chicken teriyaki, which is suppose to include the chicken plus a house salad, shrimp & veggie tempura, gyoza, Ika sensai [which I didn't get nor want], seaweed salad [was offered kimchi instead, didn't want this either], & 4 pcs of California roll.1] I've NEVER had beef/hamburger gyoza before, never knew it existed, which was almost deep fried and burnt, not steamed as I am use to.2] Received one SKINNY butterflied shrimp that was so deep fried it was almost burnt - same goes for the Tempura veggies that where so over fried I would have thought they were deep fried in regular bread crumbs and not the light batter that tempura is suppose to be.3] The chicken tasted like beef. I can only say this because there was almost no teriyaki taste to it at all.4] California Roll is suppose to be made with crab salad/meat, cucumber and avocado - which I think the only thing inside was the cucumber and to top it off it had roe on top which I have never seen eitherI almost feel bad writing such a bad review since everyone else seems to like it here...but this was my experience. I'm just glad they didn't offer Tonkatsu [that I noticed anyway] or I would be ruined for life LOLI wont be back

As is always the case, the sushi is excellent. Very fresh and well made. The pricing is commensurate with the quality so you will pay a little more, but it is worth it in my experience.

Very good sushi restaurant. The sashimi was fresh. The shrimp yakitori was also very good, huge portion. The orange tea was amazing! Great service, staff is very friendly and hospitable.

We love the sushi from Mizu. Always fresh and well rolled our favorite is the Mary roll.andthe spider roll. We always get two rolls per person. Call ahead for take out and it will be ready with ginger and soy sauce Anel chopsticks

My experience at Mizu Japanese Steakhouse was one filled with delightful flavors and excellent service! The moment I entered the restaurant, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, setting the tone for a wonderful dining experience.The standout feature of Mizu was undoubtedly the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, courteous, and always ready to assist with any requests. From guiding us through the menu to ensuring our drinks were promptly refilled, their dedication to providing a memorable dining experience was evident throughout the meal.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the skilled teppanyaki chefs who put on an entertaining show right before our eyes. The sizzling performance, along with the delicious aroma of the food being prepared, added to the overall ambiance and excitement of the dining experience.As for the food itself, the flavors were nothing short of extraordinary. The quality of the ingredients and the expert craftsmanship of the chefs shone through in each dish. From the mouthwatering hibachi grilled meats to the perfectly seasoned sushi rolls, every bite was a true delight.However, it's important to note that Mizu's popularity also means the restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends. The space is relatively small, and this popularity can lead to a bustling atmosphere, which might not be everyone's preference if seeking a more intimate or quiet dining experience.Despite the crowded environment, the staff remained composed and attentive, ensuring that even amidst the hustle and bustle, our needs were well taken care of. While the wait times on busy weekends might be a bit longer, the delectable food and stellar service more than make up for it.If you're looking for a fantastic Japanese dining experience, Mizu Japanese Steakhouse is undoubtedly a top-notch choice. The combination of skillful teppanyaki chefs, delicious cuisine, and attentive service creates an enjoyable and unforgettable outing.

I was impressed We happened upon the restaurant on accident because the other restaurant we were going to was very very busy. So while riding around we found this lovely restaurant.The restaurant is tucked in a corner and you won't believe. Unfortunately the train was not working because of COVID. I did enjoy the spacing of the customers and the attention to detail. The sushi was delicious .The service was lovely The decor was calming and did I mention the sushi being great?!I can't wait to go back!

My favorite local asian restaurant in wake forest. never had a bad experience here, love the whole menu and cocktails. really recommend

My sister lives near by and goes to Mizu with her family at least once a week. It's a MUST DO stop every time we visit. The owner, Jennifer is so nice and accommodating. She's always moving and getting things done for her customers and staff. They always ask for Twed as their server and she's on the ball! All of the staff is friendly and the restaurant is very clean. We always order fresh Sashimi, Yakisoba noodles and a hibachi. Always excellent!
