This place is pretty amazing! Definitely for special occasions, date nights, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Plan to spend about 90 min eating here. You may be seated with another party (8 max per table from what I can see). They like to fill the table. Reservations make it easier for them to plan I bet. The food was top notch!!! I had steak and chicken. My bestie had the salmon. The veggies were perfectly cooked. Flavors are wonderful! Here's some things you may want to know: Chairs aren't the most comfortable (probably can hold up to 350 lbs). Air blows on your food if sitting on one of the ends (from the vent hood). This cooled down my food faster than I would have liked. Good thing I'm a fast eater! The entertainment was excellent! Tip well ok? :) It's a lot of food! You will be full. If ordering salmon, the finish it off with a teriyaki sauce. If you know ahead of time you can skip that if you'd like. I came with a shellfish allergy and they were very accommodating!!! They cooked my steak and chicken before any shellfish went on the grill. I appreciated that very much. All in all, this was a great experience and family friendly for all ages. read more

The slicer, dicer chef left a bit to be desired at our table. Trying to toss bits of fried egg into our mouths didn't work out too well. The extra fancy ribeye steak I thought was overpriced at about $50. The ambience was nice. The parking access was easy read more

The food was excellent. They were ready for us and the chef was very entertaining and went the extra mile. It was very nice. I only gave it 4 due to the table being sticky. They could use some new chairs as well. They are kinda scary. read more

Visited: Saturday, October 4, 2025 - 07:10 PM Went to Mizu Japanese Steak House tonight and had an amazing experience! The restaurant was busy but very clean and well, organized. The atmosphere was lively, and the hibachi chefs made it super fun to watch. Our server Melissa was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We ordered the Calamari Squid Steak, Kid's Yakisoba, Side Tofu, and Hibachi Lobster, all of them were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The fried rice upgrade was worth every penny! Drinks were great too, loved the Virgin Mojito, Pepsi, and Pineapple Juice served in a cute kids' cup. The service was fast, and the food was full of flavor. Overall, it was a wonderful Saturday night dinner with great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience, can't wait to come back again soon! read more

Made a reservation for 7 of us on Wednesday. We needed to leave at a certain time and the staff person recommended a time. Our chef, Neil, was entertainigly skilled in tossing everything and prepared a fabulously tasty meal for all of us. We would highly recommend this restaurant for a group or a couple dining out. We will return! read more

We enjoyed our food, I had ribeye and shrimp which were very good. I felt the fried rice was a bit overcooked, almost burned. I don't ever remember having crunchy fried rice. My grandson had chicken and shrimp and said his shrimp was the best. I don't think he ate his chicken. He also had yakisoba noodles. They were bland to me. The big issue was I noticed my chair legs were wobbly when I first sat down. I considered the chairs as those cheap wooden chairs found in a soda shop. After we finished eating and had gotten a box for our food, I leaned slightly toward my grandson and the chairs found in just kept on leaning and down I went! A man at our table & his wife came over to check on me and help me up. Thank God because no one from the restaurant came over for a while. I would have continued sitting on the floor because at my age I couldn't get up on my own. When the waitress did finally come over, she said she would have all of my grandson's food cooked again so we could take it home. That was very nice but it took a good 30 minutes and we had to just sit there. No one ever came to clean up the box of food that went on the floor with me. It was all pretty embarrassing! read more

Service is always top notch. A fun place to go.Food is delicious and the chef if entertaining.

My family went there tonight. There was an insane woman in the restaurant berating the staff, drinking too much, vaping, etc. She was an absolute train wreck. I observed the staff handle her as well as they could have. It was an impossible feat but they did it with professionalism. The woman was yelling, flipped off other customers, claiming she has a private jet, that she was famous on TikTok and much, much more. Well done Mizu staff. ALSO, the food was great! The chef was entertaining and it was one of the better hibachis we had ever been to. Will certainly be going back! read more

So called them ahead of time for $38 6-course meal that they advertise on their website. They said they had it available. So I went there today and they said they don't have it. Like I don't understand how you could mess up so badly that both your site and your staff said something was available for me to get there and have you say you didn't have the menu for 6 months. read more

Great service but very cold wear a warm jacket. We complained and all they said was sorry

I've never given a one star, never walked out, ever. Reservation, party of six all together, seated promptly at 6:30. No contact whatsoever until 6:50, received water. 7:05, received salad and soup. 7:10 first contact with server, ordered drinks and food. 7:15 one of three chefs bypassed our table for one that was seated after us. Drinks arrived 7:25. Asked what was going on. "Problem in the kitchen". No apologies, no correction, no management in sight. Left drinks on table and departed. read more

We love coming here as a family whether we're celebrating a birthday or just for a fun night out together. The food is amazing, the chefs are always engaging, fun and entertaining and the wait staff is super friendly! The host last night was extra helpful when we needed to add more people to our table last minute than we had originally planned for. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Came with a party of 10 for my son's 13th birthday. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so accommodating. The server Erin was on top of her game! No one had to ask for refills, she was able to execute all the request I had and was extremely friendly to us. The chef, was one of the best we had from all Mizu's. He took over the table to have us all engaged together. My son had an amaing birthday dinner and the rest of us truly enjoyed the whole evening. Food was AMAZING! This was my first time at this location and I will say Covington hands down is the best one. Also side note, my mother took off her Gucci belt and left it there. She was stressing over someone taken it. I message them and they called me right away when they opened that they put it up for us. I appreciate the great communication even after we left. read more

Stopped in waited for 10 minutes in the lobby, the Resturant was not busy. Several staff came by with no greetings, after being passed by the fourth time by a completely different employee we walked out. This is the second experience just like this, done with this place. Service has always been debatable. read more

One of the few hibachi restaurants in the area. We went here to celebrate Mother's Day. This restaurant is definitely still in operation. It was a good time and standard hibachi eats. We liked that half of rthe estaurant is windows. read more

Great place to host a small celebration or just a date night. We were greeted and seated at a station. We sat alone during our dining experience and still got a small show. I went with the Mizu special and my king ordered the steak and shrimp. Great experience! Great customer service! Enjoyed my date night read more

Chef spattered grease on my shirt multiple times and dropped a hot onion on my hand. Not a pleasant experience.

Excellent service and presentation! Great food cooked right in front of you, be specific when ordering... enjoy!

Got there a half hour after they opened for my birthday no fillet no Jack Daniel's terrible terrible service! We will never go back!

I have been here 3 times in the last few months and it's always a good time. The chefs in front of us for cooking are well trained and throw food for you to catch in your mouth. I've also just had sushi in the bar before and that was also good! I like how there are options to sit by the grill and not sit by the grill. read more

First time visiting, we've owned restaurants in the community for 41 years and just haven't had the chance to visit. What an amazing experience, we WILL be returning soon. Power out in community, home coming dance going on, staff running to please everyone, and no one missed a beat. Just impressed and food was perfect, I used my fork to cut the steak in smaller piece, it was so good! read more

Great food and service. It's best to make reservations on the weekends because it gets busy.

Fun place!! We always do the experience but this time just sat at the bar! It was a nice atmosphere and a change to be able to chat during dinner. We'll be back! read more

THEY ARE NOT CLOSED! They are still looking for a great sushi chef but the teppanyaki is great and the restaurant is fully open. WHO REPORTED THEY ARE CLOSED? Very misleading. It's not true. read more

Stay away from mizu Washington. Food was no good at all, and for the price it was not worth it. The place was nasty throughout hibachi table was dirty, the hibachi cook look like homeless read more

It's not often I'm happy to see a restaurant close, but this place was the worst. Prices through the roof. Low food quality and terrible slow service. I see they are building a new location in Renton and I would not be shocked if they lost their lease, because unless they make prices align with portion and quality, it's gonna be shuttered faster than their other two closures. read more

I had made a reservation at this location for a party of 9 at 6:30pm. We had 4 kids and my great aunt that is 87 years of age with us. I came to the location 45 minutes early to double check our reservation was good to go and was told by the guy at reception that we were all good and would be seated immediately at 6:30. We all arrived at 6:25 and were immediately told that the "system" overbooked them and we unfortunately wouldn't be seated until around 6:50. I had noticed quite a few walk-ins from my earlier time checking on our reservation were seated ahead of us. We were seated as promised at 6:45 but were not even provided waters until I finally walked up to the bar at 7pm and asked for some waters for my kids and great Aunt. This was honestly the worst service. I just wish they had set expectations from the beginning. The fact that my great Aunt is 87 and they mad her stand an additional 20 minutes and didn't even offer us water until I had to ask is very disappointing. Would NOT recommend reservations here as it definitely didn't matter. read more

Food is not good!!! service is not OK! Very dirty place! Not very happy with this experience, they charge $85 per meal, and it's OK if the food was great, but it's not. read more

We had the best time. The food was amazing with great portion sizes. The Onion soup is a perfect starter. I definitely recommend the TNT Roll and the Cajan Sushi Rolls. The steaks are fenominal and the shrimp and lobster we top tear. The atmosphere and service were wonderful. It can be pricey depending on your pallet but you are so worth it. read more

Food was mediocre. Seafood and chicken were overcooked. We waited for 45 minutes before a chef was available. Disappointed because it was our 11 year olds birthday. The wait staff gave us a free appetizer and apologized. That was nice. The chef was great. Very kind and entertaining. That said, this place is filthy. The floor is covered in grease and it looked like no one had cleaned or swept the floor in several days. The chefs food cart looked more like the bus boys cart. Plates stacked on each other with our raw food on them. It was odd. Lastly, the bathrooms were disgusting. Trash overflowing and urine all over. I would bet they clean it once a week. To be fair, it is a bathroom. However, it looked completely neglected. The smell was ripe! Overall, we paid $220 for 6 people. Was hoping for a better experience for that kind of spend. Unfortunately, we won't be going back. read more

2 adults 1 child dinner for newly weds. I was supper hyped to bring my wife here and I was very disappointed. The cook was horrible. No humor, felt like he just wanted to get it over with and that's all. I usually come here for the service and show and I didn't event get a 25% of what is usually expected of them. Find people that want to work. Bad choice of restaurant after getting married, Bummer. I had never experienced this before, read more

If you want carry out order Door Dash because Mizu Covington gives them top priority over dine in customers. We had a (large) party of 13 guests with reservations for a special event. As soon as we were seated I told the server that I needed two (2) orders to go. her response was that they would take care of that at the end. After our dinner service the server was nowhere around for our "to go" food orders. I went to the bar and explained the situation to the manager and he placed an order for our food. Mgr. Tyler kept assuring me ours was the next order, not so, three times! He offered an appetizer for our wait... after dinner, SERIOUSLY. 45 minutes later I told him it was not OK and I was really unhappy with the service... while the rest of my party waited for me in the parking lot. A refund was issued. They took really poor service to a new extreme. I WILL NEVER RETURN and I will certainly discourage anyone else from patronizing Mizu Japanese Steakhouse! read more

It was an amazing experience. The food is wonderful and so are the chefs that prepared it. Overall great time and the ambiance was wonderful very calm but fun. Service overall was wonderful and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. read more

We made a reservation ahead of time and showed up 10 minutes early, only to be told that they didn't see the reservation and couldn't seat us. We went out of our way with two small kids, and they didn't even apologize for the mishap - just told us they missed it and couldn't seat us. Bad customer service read more

The food tasted not good but I got severe food poisoning from this place. I'm fairly sure it was the Wasabi. I hadn't eaten anything else. I've been after my meal there. On top of that the lady at the front who greets people seems very unprofessional but maybe she had a bad day idk. read more

My wife and I came to Mizu to celebrate our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. Liz was our wait person - she is great! Walter was our Chef - again, he was great! We had a very satisfying time with great service and great food. Mizu is a Japanese Steakhouse. It is surprising to me, and more than a little disappointing, that there is no Suchi. No Suchi Chef, no Suchi at all. Also, I thought it curious there were no Japanese involved in this Japanese Steakhouse. Normally, we'd go to Sakura down in Tacoma - now there is a great Japanese Steakhouse! Mizu is local - right here, right now. At Mizu, we had great food and great service prepared and presented by great people; and, we generated a great big bill. I just wish they had Suchi... read more

Service was good. The cleanliness is horrible. As we were wrapping up our dinner a cockroach walked across our table. My daughters are in the hospitality industry for 15+ years; never have they experienced this. The management did nothing expect to get down on the floor to look for the cockroach. We had already paid our bill which was over $400. No offer to make things right. Never will we or any of our extended network of friends eat at this chain again. They should be shut down for cause. read more

Before sitting down I went to the restroom and was super grossed out. Extremely sticky floors with gunk build up around the stall doors. I should have left then. The floor was sticky throughout the entire restaurant, so much so that my shoes stuck to my rubber floor mats in my car after leaving. Tables were sticky as well. I tried to load the menu on my phone and my son's phone but it wouldn't load. I asked for a paper menu, they said they don't have any. To get the menu to work we had to connect to their WiFi. Luckily we didn't leave our phones at home (which we sometimes do when we go out to eat as a family). The sushi on the other hand is amazingly soft and delicious. Although they charge more for rolls than other sushi places, the rolls are loaded with cucumber and not so much fish. 18% gratuity is already included. Makes me feel like they don't have much faith in their staff to earn the tip on their own, or they think their customers are so cheap they don't tip the correct amount? (I usually tip more than the 18% anyway, it just sucks when they decide for me) Sushi is great (besides the lack of fish) place does not seem clean or friendly. read more

The fried rice was burnt crispy, my steak was blue when I asked for medium rare, then gave my chicken portion to another guest not in our party. We then made eye contact and waved to get our bill and the waiter blatantly stared at our table while he ate and drank food at the bar. After someone from our table confronted a different waitress about the incidents, we were discounted for not receiving the correct food by her and the waiter came to give us boxes and tried filling our waters to make up for it. The whole place was smoky but it's kinda to be expected. I understand being short staffed during the holidays, but to be full on ignoring us after waiting for the check for over 15 minutes of our entire table being done eating is unacceptable. Food was not good, service was worse, except for the waitress who was running around being hostess and waitress, she was the only helpful person there. Update from the morning after: my husband got food poisoning read more
