Super fresh. Fast service and friendly staff. Clean and delicious food and only got the silver. Will be back for gold then diamond.

I like mango roll, spider roll and lobster roll here very much. I will come again next time.

I had a really good experience at Mizu Sushi overall. My favorite roll by far was the Green Roll it was so flavorful and crunchy I'd definitely order it again. The sweet potato roll was also delicious! I also tried the cucumber roll, which was fresh and tasty, but pretty simple. I do wish they had a few more specialty vegetarian rolls since the selection is a little limited if you don't eat fish. The staff were all friendly and attentive and the inside seemed clean and well taken care of. My only real critique is the timing of the food. We went on a weekday, but the wait for our food was a bit longer than expected. My partner's meal came out quite a while before mine, so we ended up eating separately, which felt a little awkward. It wasn't a huge deal, but it's something worth mentioning. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially for the Green Roll and the sweet potato roll read more

Decent sushi, painfully long wait times for food. I'm hoping their ability to run an AYCE for a full restaurant has improved since I visited, but I have to base my review on my personal experience on May 17, during their soft opening phase. We arrived on a Sunday for an early dinner, around 5pm. For two of us, we were seated relatively quickly and given menus. The restaurant was only at half capacity when we placed our first order, which we received within 15 minutes. When it came time for our second order, it was busier and the restaurant was nearly full, and we only received 2 of the 4 items we asked for, which took about 20 minutes. When we checked in on the status of our missing items, a server told us there was a 90 minute wait time for more food!! So we asked for the check and we left. We had also overheard the table across from us complaining about a long wait for food. So much for all you can eat. We were here for 70 minutes and only got two rounds of food orders, one which was incomplete. The quality of the sushi itself was good for AYCE. But I won't be returning until I hear the service and food wait time has greatly improved. read more

We have been here several times and really enjoyed it- this time we brought a friend who we had been singing the praises of this as our new go to sushi AYCE place... We came early on Thursday evening- around 4pm. We were the only people there when we first arrived. The hostess wanted us to sit at the first booth in the restaurant- we asked if we could sit further back. We were able to pick a table- but the hostess didn't seem happy about it. He then pointed to the QR code to order from- we asked if we could order in person. We were just ignored at that point so ultimately needed to use the QR code to place our orders This made visiting hard and less social trying to navigate the ordering process We couldn't figure out why the QR ordering limited us on quantities- when we got the bill at the end we quickly saw why. He had only entered 2 people at our table- so the quantity for ordering was less. We were charged for the correct number of people. The same host spent the whole time just standing at the hostess desk the whole time we were there. He did seat 2 other tables while we were there- over the course of 90 minutes Not sure what is going on with the smell in the restrooms- it has a very strong sewer smell that is very unappetizing- we went at the end of our meal to wash our hands. Our guest didn't go to the restroom here- so he didn't experience the foul smell. Also several items were different from times before... the Adashi tofu was not nearly as good as the last 2 times we went- the breading was different this time. The tuna cones were different this time, the shrimp tacos had 2 tempura shrimp on them, last time was 3. We had shared with our friend about the tacos and so his first comment was did a shrimp fall off. Overall the food was still good- but the QR ordering should not be mandatory. It took away from our dinning experience I shared this time with several friends who I had sent photos of the food and menu to- suggesting they go here. They all agreed they will not deal with the QR ordering- they will ask when they first arrive to order in person. If they are told no- they will go eat elsewhere read more

Price increase in less than a week!? I'm updating my review by dropping this place from a 4 to a regular 3 star. All the reasons why I rated them a 4 star has been sadly changed. In less than one week, they have increased all their prices for AYCE and moved some items to a higher tier. I had the a Silver tier last time and raved mainly about the Hamachi Kama and Hotate. I came back to order those again along with trying their lobster roll. Those items are now in the Gold tier along with many others such as the sake toro, hamachi, ika, and tako. The ikura jumped to the highest Diamond tier. The hotate, which was a nice large sized scallop has now disappeared. Please refer to my pics to see notable size difference. The hamachi kama and fried oysters were the same. The hamachi sashimi were consistent with my first order but then tasted different from my second. I ordered the spider and lobster rolls - nothing to rave about. The service was noticeably slow. They were not busy for my early dinner visit but somehow completely missed my first order of sashimi. Service was slower compared to last time even though there were less customers. Unfortunately, they won't be getting my business again. This place is no longer worth the drive for me. In addition, based on their price point - I have other options locally. read more

I'm kind of surprised at some of these reviews, but to each their own. My bf and I came on a Thursday right before 5-6pm so it wasn't busy at all. We were excited to try a new AYCE sushi place as there are not many good ones in the area. Our server was nice and was able to explain some of the food options that I inquired about. He mentioned that the rolls come out to about 10 pieces but you can order half sizes for 5 pieces. I really liked that because I don't think many AYCE sushi places offer half sizes. Service was ok but we also had our server change in between the time we were there without us being notified. Not much of a big deal and the other server was able to help us anyway. I think the restaurant could benefit from the use of tablets at tables for AYCE so that people don't have to try to wave down a server to order, but that's just my opinion. My bf and I did the gold tier for $40. We ordered: -mizu king roll, which I liked better than the kissing fire roll -heart attack, which is pretty much just stuffed jalapeño bombs but we liked it -kissing fire roll, it was good -unagi sushi taco, which we liked the concept and flavor -tuna cone, a cute concept similar to a mini poke bowl but would have loved some kind of sauce -all of the seared sushi except for a couple that they didn't have available. We thought the seared sushi was our favorite and you can order it with mayo, spicy mayo or no mayo -tempura chicken, which is exactly how it sounds. Idk what I was expecting, but it was just chicken pieces covered in tempura batter and it wasn't very flavorful -1 unagi and 1 fish sashimi, which we didn't get any frozen pieces in contrast to some other reviews but we didn't care for the fish sashimi read more

Not too long ago, I visited Mizu for my mom's birthday lunch. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't what I was hoping for. My family of 5 ordered the Gold Tier menu, but the service was extremely slow. We waited over 30 minutes just to get water and have a chance to place our order. The food was pretty mediocre and didn't really live up to the price or the wait. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a modern vibe and great ambiance, but overall I was disappointed with the experience, especially for a special occasion. Sadly, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

As one of the customers who dined here on their opening day (4/7), I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience at Mizu Sushi. The fish was incredibly fresh, every dish was delicious, and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. You can really tell they put care into both the quality and details of the food. The service was also outstanding -- everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming even during the busy grand opening. Honestly, this is the best AYCE sushi restaurant I've had in the Bay Area so far. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Tried Mizu Sushi for AYCE and had a great experience! We went with the Silver Menu for $29.99, and it was definitely worth it. I especially loved the assortment of nigiri options--my absolute favorite was the Hotate (sea scallop), which was fresh, buttery, and delicious. Service was great from start to finish, and the staff were attentive Highly recommend Mizu if you're looking for a solid all-you-can-eat sushi spot with quality fish and great service. I'll definitely be back! read more

I had heard that this place opened recently, and was recommended by my work colleagues. I know the location well and it was easily accessible by the parking garage of the adjacent movie theater. I went in for an early lunch and strictly there for the Nigri rolls. They had a Silver and a Gold which the AYCE was either $31.99 or $41.99 with different options. I went for the Silver with the Katsu options. I did have at least 8-10 specialty rolls to choose from alomg with Edamane , Misu soup and Gyozas to start with. I had ordered a few Rolls and a Hot tea. The California Roll, Shaggy Roll, and Ebi and the Dynamite rolls. You get a time span of 90 mins. and have to order on the QR code when placing the order. When you order your food, there is a time limit of 10 minutes span until you get to re order again. The wait staff is nice and very informative. The rolls were good sized but looking back, I probably should have gotten some Katsu, or at least some Gyozas since I was still hungry although I did not want to be too full. The food and I saw that came out looked good, but I didn't see much variety with Silver options when it came to Nigri rolls. Catapiller/ and different types of Spicy Tuna/ Lion King/ Vegetarian rolls, along with Tempura options. I will go and try more of their menu and get the $41.99 with more options. read more

Mixed feelings... I feel this restaurant has amazing potential. The sushi is a bit above average with the ability to even get better. It's definitely not the best I've ever had, but overall, it satisfied. Again... additional criticism I have, can also be easily improved. First, is the bathroom situation! I don't know what the heck is going on with their sewer system, but we were sat at a table near the bathrooms and I didn't last two minutes. It was absolutely horrendous... the lingering odor of backed up sewer was overwhelming and a huge turnoff. Luckily we relocated... but had there not been another table available upfront, we would've left. It is absolutely NOT doable. Be smart and don't waste your time if near the restroom seating is your only option. Definitely a dealbreaker. Now that I see it has been mentioned to them in reviews prior to my visit I'm a little bit angry that the server gaslighted me the way they did. She even went so far as to say she sat at that same table at her lunch break and there was no problem. Horsepucky... half of your restaurant seating absolutely REEKS. On the topic of servers... I know they are newly opened, but as any business owner should uphold... please DO NOT put servers on the floor that barely have any idea what they're doing, lack the ability to even be pleasant and radiate their insecurity and unhappiness! Make sure they well trained enough to have confidence in their job. It made our dinner visit a super awkward and clumsy situation. No bueno. And thirdly... ditch that stupid QR scan menu, self ordering system or at least, verbally offer face to face service as an option. I for one, don't go out to dinner to juggle a menu, my phone and my food at the same time. Yes, we did end up finally getting face-to-face service but it was never offered to us and I believe they only accommodated us because I was ready to walk. Please stop. Will I return? Yes, I probably will. BUT, I will definitely be giving them a considerable buffer of time to work out their kinks before I do. read more

Mizu Sushi Ayce - STOP gaslighting your customers!!! I'm NOT the only one that has complained (as you claimed)!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

We went back for our second time with our family and unfortunately have to adjust my review. The quality of the sashimi had gone down- our salmon sashimi was still frozen and the taste of the fish quality also went down. In addition, we had to wait a long time for our food, especially the sashimi. It's like they don't want to serve us that. I felt like we sat down for 20 minutes with no food coming- the sashimi was definitely longer than that and we kept asking them about it. Hoping it's just an one off day, will give them another try at a later date to see if they worked out all their kinks. read more

I will admit, I was a little hesitant to try this place solo. AYCE table service sushi can be a challenge for a single diner. The objective is to taste a variety; that's not easy with full size rolls and dishes; you can fill up on full size orders very quickly. I was looking at the menu. Asked about half-size rolls. Was told "no". I asked for a few more minutes. When a server returned, I pointed at a roll on the Specials list... asked how big. Server said "we can do a half if you want." I looked up - it was a different server! I ordered the Gold menu. Started with 1/2 Golden Gate Roll, Hiyayakko Tofu, no Bonita, a rainbow taco, and veggie tempura. All were excellent... the tofu is huge, think size of a 1/2 lb block of cream cheese. I asked my server, I'll order 1/2 next time. The taco is seaweed held in shape by translucent rice paper - adds good crunch. Ordered some sashimi, 1/2 Mizu King Roll, and tuna tataki. All great. The white tuna was nearly frozen - minor detraction. Had nigiri Ikura, Hamachi Kama. Asked about Unagi cone, but then asked if I could get 1/2 and Unagi Bowl, and ordered that. Again, all excellent, and truly one of the best Hamachi Kama I've had. Much more meat than many restaurants. Before I left, I spoke to my server again. Expressed my appreciation for being able to get 1/2 orders. She explained: THEY'LL DO 1/2 ORDERS FOR SINGLE DINERS, BUT NOT GROUPS, which makes sense. If every table with multiple diners ordered half- portions, it would back up the kitchen - parties of two or more can share. (My explanation, not the restaurant's). As a frequent solo diner, it was refreshing to be accommodated. Everything was fresh. Hot food hot. Service was excellent. No nonsense about timing, or leaving one item half-finished. They didn't seen to be enforcing the limits per round for any tables near mine. I'll definitely go back. It was much better than anticipated - truly excellent. read more

Service was slow and it was not very busy. I ordered scallops twice and never received it. It was annoying to have to track down a server to order every time. Fish was overall just ok. Everything was just very average. Would definitely try it again. read more

Look else where! Service - frustrating workers who make little to no effort to serve you - serve request are nonexistent Business model - you HAVE to order via phone app which kills service aspect - ordering has a minimum wait time of 10 mins even for items such as HOT WATER/TEA - additional costed items are also subject to the wait limit - DO NOT BUY DIAMOND SERVICE, only 3 additional items (Wagyu, Tuna belly, ikura(seriously? Ikura as a diamond item?) Food - no noticeable different between other AYCE sushi spots. - Wagyu steak was sub par, you are not missing much at all. Some of the cuts ended up being chewy and. Definitely not A5 Experience - Made a simple request for pickled wasabi and got an explanation of how they aren't able to get it because I had to wait for the 10mins to pass. I also had to wait an additional 10mins just to order hot water/tea Final verdict - not worth the price tag. Definitely felt like I had to put in much more effort for basic service needs **Look elsewhere for a nice evening, especially if it's a date night read more

This new AYCE sushi place I'm honestly obsessed. They just open like 2 days ago. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh, like every piece just melted in my mouth. Their fish quality was amazing, and you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The rolls were perfectly balanced and beautifully presented, If you love fresh sushi and cozy vibes, this place is definitely one of the best sushi spots in Pleasant Hill. I no longer need to drive to SF or San Jose for sushi anymore. Services are amazing read more

Not as good as rated. Saw the place had soft opening and went on a weekend dinner rush. Not very busy had plenty of servers but they all seemed to have been instructed to seat and avoid the customers so you may not order as much as you would eating ayce. Most rolls lacked flavor even with the amount of wasabi being used and were chewy. Do not order any of the fried items as the tempura batter was too much. Restroom had unknown blood stains and smudges on the floor. read more

Fresh fish and great service. The server Daniel was very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend.

BE CAREFUL BEFORE CHOOSING A DINING PACKAGE. We came there mainly for the ama ebi and o-toro from the diamond package only to find out after choosing the package that the restaurant was out of o-toro and ikura. There's no uni or takitori. I was told those items were only available during their soft opening. Don't get the golden crab. It may look like snow crab legs but it's actually imitation crab. Not only that, they didn't have any salmon belly from the lower tier package. We had to ask a second time if there was any before choosing other stuff. The miso soup was bland. Salad was just head lettuce with dressing. The hot sauce used for the spicy scallop was overpowering. The wagyu curry was too watery. I paid $61.99/person for the diamond package. The place is pretty small. It's questionable whether I'm coming back here again. read more

Very good business but not my kind of Japanese foods. TBH, service from the female owner was excellent and happy I would say, but the waitress was a bit weird and altered by treating male or female customers, that what me and my company felt at least. We didn't order much foods because we just wanted a place to rest with some snacks. Foods were alright, but definitely not so Japanese even they have some fancy items in the menu! A little bit overpriced in most of the items, but in CA, all restaurants are overpriced anyway, so which is ok for us. Due to many other reasons, idk if I would come back again, but Mizu is a decent local restaurant, definitely ok to support, just the quality of foods were not so as our expected, but worth for a try if you are not that picky on Japanese foods :) read more

Really wanted to love this place because the sushi itself was actually pretty fresh and tasty. The fish quality was solid and definitely the best part of the experience. But honestly, the rest kind of fell short. Service was pretty inattentive and we had to wait a while for basic things. The biggest downside though was the bathroom... the smell was really bad and kind of threw off the whole dining experience. Food saved this from being a lower rating, but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

Very disappointing. We went on a Thursday and choose the gold option. This is the premium option for $60 per person which only had like 3-4 extra items.. oh which most were sold out and not available. Wish we would have known that or they could have informed us when they asked which option we wanted. read more

Sushi was meh. Service was eh. "High-tech" ordering system was confusing and really didn't save them anything. They still had to print laminated menus, so what's the point. What their QR code did a simple pencil and slip of paper could do faster and easier and cheaper. We seem to like to replace simple technology that works with gizmos just because it's "the latest thing.". And after that, the sushi was competent, but kind of bland. The rice lacked flavor and the fish all tasted alike. The space has all the ambiance of an Apple store, except an Apple store doesn't blare auto-tuned pop music at you. Won't return. read more

Went during the soft opening and it was okay and satisfied a craving. There was nothing that really stood out to me from the menu. The fish was fresh and the service was okay. The service was really attentive at first then it dropped off towards the end. It was the soft opening so I know they are working out kinks.

3.5 stars Had gold tier. Pretty decent but I didn't feel I can't wait to come back. Cons: -the edamame was overcooked and very salty -the agedashi tofu is not correct. It's not silken tofu, but soft tofu. Big difference in texture. The batter is very thick. And sauce isn't right. -seared nigiri scallops on the menu, but wasn't available -the seared nigiri needed more torching -I felt the sushi rice was not seasoned. It tasted like just plain rice. - anything unagi is way too sweet! It's overpowering Pros - I enjoyed the sushi tacos (salmon, rainbow) -shrimp tempura wasn't salty like a lot of places - hamachi collar was good read more

Lots of choices, good service, clean Not noisy. Great for groups, something for everyone. My friend was impressed with the quality of the fish for sashimi. I only go for sashimi and nigiri. For me there was not enough selection. For sashimi the fish was cut too thin and my fave sashimi was tasteless( frozen too long?) red snapper was cut well and tasty. As nigiri the fish was still cut too thin and the rice too much. However I will go back and try other offerings. read more

I came here because of the review and pricing but when I got there, it seems like the price increased as it didn't match what was noted in other reviews. I paid $41.99/person. Felt jipped on the price increase. The QR ordering wasn't bad but annoying to find the items and put in the order. Waitress didn't know how to give me more ginger without giving me wasabi along with it because she said it comes with it... but yet, I saw a bucket of ginger... she had an "ah ha" moment and light bulb went on and got me ginger without wasabi (extra star for this!! ). Slow service, not sure if they care. For the price, selections wasn't great. 3 stars for slow and bland service, increased in price within a short while of opening. Very unfair to consumer and this should have been considered before the grand opening. And not so great QR ordering. Lack variety. Would I go back? Maybe... fish/sashimi wasn't bad and I hope they don't lower the quality. It's the only thing justifying the price. Wished they had more roles and other options. read more
