We were forunate enough to have our favorite server Maddy. I has been some time since we had dined there last and she recognized us like it was yesterday. Tried the O Toro Uni for the first time and it was the best bite of sushi I have ever had. However the Hokkaido uni with the cucumber cup was a disappointment. For me the cup was too large for a one biter and kinda took away the from the uni experience. Overall another great experience.

The sushi is soooo good. I recommend the mango tango roll. I feel like depending on who you get as a server determines what kind of service you will get. I’ve had really amazing servers and really bad servers. It is really hit or miss.

Mizu is a vibe. They have a DJ and lots of people come here before heading out on the town. If that is your scene, then this place is perfect. The sushi was delicious. Especially the Tokyo roll. Still thinking about it

I went in on Friday with my boyfriend and we were both talking about what we were going to get and I mentioned the crispy spicy tuna. The waitress heard me and we talked about how good that dish is. We had not ordered yet and she walks away to give us a minute. Literally thirty seconds later she comes back with the crispy spicy tuna and says “oh that was quick” which there was no way that was for us because we hadn’t ordered yet. We were really confused but we took it. The dish was cold and could tell it was sitting there for a while. I was so upset because it’s over $20. I couldn’t eat it it grossed me out but my boyfriend did eat it so it wouldn’t go to waste. And he did end up getting sick shortly after we left. I wanted to say something but was just confused about the experience I decided not to.

Food was good, although consistent with my last visit unfortunately. Service was terrible. Our waitress did not check on us. We had to ask to order and when we were able to order she gave us an attitude like we were bothering her. My husband said “she ruined the experience”. We were dining for his birthday.

Mostly pretty good! Not sure if it was a special event, but the DJ was super loud even outside and the music was not very izakaya vibes. Food was great but the chocolate lava cake was pretty chalky
