For a place that serves quality small plates I'm surprised it doesn't get that much business…read more Everything was simply amazing. The sashimi is so soft and flavorful rich. I'm still baffled at the salad that was served with raw meat and a tiny quail egg. I thought I tried everything Japanese by now, but that was new and amazing. The one thing that wasn't good... matcha beer. It's not a good idea, don't do it. Also wish they served their matcha without soymilk.

The ramen was excellent - the broth was very rich and porky and the toppings (soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, nori, bean sprouts and spring onions) were super tasty.

If you are making a booking ask for a table downstairs, the upstairs section is a bit dull and lifeless compared to the vibrant downstairs Umami bar. Whenever someone asks about a good Japanese restaurant in Melbourne this restaurant is always my first recommendation.

Recognisable by the sweet lantern strewn tree out the front, Mizuzu's is a cozy den of dark wood and oriental screens. The perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink, the menu offers an extensive list of sake's, 32 to be precise, with the food being equally impressive. They have some of the best gyoza that I've tried outside Tokyo as well as a well stocked sushi and sashimi bar. Mizuzu's is the ultimate alternative to the soulless Japanese fast food joints of the city.

The food is good, but this didn't even touch anywhere near my favourite Japanese restaurants. It's a good size place - plenty of tables for two and plenty for bigger groups. It can get noisy, but not to the point where you can't hear yourself think. The staff were friendly and attentive even if they did often linger and collect items one by one all throughout the evening off the table (even before dessert came, one guy was taking away the menu placemats, and when I had my elbows on it while looking at my phone, I felt him trying to rip it out from under me. Quite rude). I did feel the service/meal was quite rushed, and so if you're looking for a long night out at a restaurant with friends, it's definitely not that. The menu has a little bit of everything you know, and a few more unique things. We didn't order the tempura eggplant, yet the presentation was superb when we saw it arrive at other tables. Everything we ordered came out looking good. We shared their version of Chicken Karaage, and a really nice tuna sashimi taco. I ordered some tuna/salmon sushi rolls, and tried their Chicken Katsu Don. Everything was quite nice, but nothing especially so good that I'd rush right back. The restaurant itself is clean and modern looking and they had good music and there was a lovely atmosphere. Pricing is a little on the higher side and parking is a little on the frustrating side. Overall, I would come back again at some stage, but perhaps when they have a menu change and I'll know to come if you want just a nice, quick dinner.
