I've passed this spot a dozen times on my way to the gym or the Mexican place next door--never gave it a second glance. Curb appeal? Meh. But my husband swore the food was good, so I gave it a shot. Verdict: never judge a sushi joint by its parking lot. We skipped the hibachi (though it was clearly popular) and dove into the noodle and sushi menu. I went for the noodle soup--huge portions, rich flavor, and leftovers that made two perfect light lunches. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the vibe inside was way better than I expected. Glad I gave it a chance. Local gem hiding in plain sight. read more

Ok i don't know why this place has 3 and a half stars because it should at least have 4 stars! This place is a great way to get the crown going with excitement and laughter! They are very organized in taking the orders and dividing the checks which is a plus! These chefs know how to really put in a show! And not only that, while they are making you laugh they are serving the food as they cook it right in front of you. And let me say they serve a lot of food! Most of us couldn't finish our food! But everything was absolutely delicious! We plan to go back. read more

We came to Mizu because a friend of ours had gone previously and couldn't stop singing its praises. He had had such a wonderful time, and he wanted all of us to experience it as well. He went as far as making a reservation for us and requesting Francisco, the chef, to cook for us that night. I have to say that Francisco was phenomenal not just because he's cooking for so many of us but also because he kept us and the little kids that were with us entertained. I will say, you do get your money's worth in terms of volume with the food. A lot of food! I made 2 additional meals from my leftovers, but was it delicious? It was ok. I think that if it weren't for the garlic sauce they give you on the side, some of it might have been bland. They do have condiments on the side that you can add to your food though. The people in our party who ordered steak did say it was tender and delicious, so I guess it also matters what you get. Overall, this is such a fun time if you've got a big group of people getting together and you just want to relax in a no fuss environment. I definitely see myself returning. read more

Ok where to start...... is the staff very nice? Absolutely Did we get sat right away? Yes we did and we are a very big group! Food is ok not bad not amazing but ok. Only thing is this place needs a good detailing for sure. Floors, walls are very dirty and all decor is covered in layers of dust . Now what we at on was clean and so was the table but surrounded areas not so much. So let's get some scrub on and it be better! read more

Mizu is so good! Small place but soo good. The prices are a little steep but the amount of food you get is insane. I have food for about 2 days after I leave here. The service is always great. The hibachi is always fresh, fast and entertaining. I love eating here with my family and friends. 10/10 I always bring people here to enjoy read more

The food and service was amazing. Until i was leaving. I didn't end up tipping which could've been my bad. Instead of the server pulling me aside and asking me kinda why I didn't tip, he yelled at me in front of the entire restaurant saying that i needed to tip. I think it was very unprofessional and disrespectful. I was with my entire family and just wanted to buy them lunch since they've never been there. I understand the tipping process but it just felt very disrespectful and my family said due to this they wouldn't come back. read more

the food was good and amazing and everything was great until we where going to pay. It was my sister first time paying with card at a restaurant like this so she gives the check to the man and when we're abt to leave he stops us and says why we didn't leave a tip and he yells at us saying why didn't u leave a tip at all and stuff and u don't have to put a tip it's js recommended but he makes us put a tip or else he literally didn't let us leave so over all the food was good but the service was horrible and I feel like he could have handled the situation better. read more

My family and eat here often. My daughter is such a picky eater but she's obsessed with their hibachi! There is an older gentleman that is always working. He is such an attentive and fun waiter. My daughter calls him the Mizu grandpa. read more

When you go out for hibachi, the experience is 70% show. Fried rice, tender beef, fresh seafood... that is expected. Mizu delivers. The show has some entertaining twists and skillful techniques. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is authentic. Worth the trip to this hole in the wall gem. read more

So this is the second time I've been to this location in St. Cloud and most likely the last time because it's a repeat offense, being in the business I'm pretty critical on certain things, things I can look past like gauging a business for service, food quality, and feel however when it comes to cleanliness this is a big one for me. All I ask is for the business owners and the general public while they're sitting in their booth to take a look at all the VENTS that hot and cool air are being pumped through? You'll see that they coated with about one maybe 2 inches of thick dust and dirt, you all do know that that's going inside your food, well the servers and chefs are very nice and the food experience both times I've been there have been tasty and entertaining. It's about the whole experience and unfortunately this establishment is dirty and I can no longer frequent it, you need to do better clean your restaurant.I've spoken... read more

I usually enjoy these type of restaurants. This one missed the mark for me. I like to say that I do understand restaurants are going through some tough times with staffing, this makes it important to communicate with patrons. Reservations were for a party of 11 for 7:30pm. We were not seated until 8:11p. After we were seated we did not get a chef until 8:45p. The server was extremely nice and attentive to all requests and fulfilled them in a timely manner. The food was run of the mill, nothing exciting. The rice was bland, the vegetables over cooked. The noodles were just ok. The appetizer shrimp were not served until the end of the meal and not every one got some. The, only famous in Florida, "yum-yum sauce" was bland, tasted like bland mayo with a little vinegar. By the time all the components of my entrée were served everything else was cold. read more

We received a gift card for this place and never even knew it existed. We live right around the corner and never noticed it before. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the place and how busy it was. Having never been here or really knew about it, they look like they do quite the business. We were greeted and seated right away. Because we wanted to sit and watch them cook our meal we waited a bit for more patrons to join us. We ordered water and a California roll. I am not a huge sushi fan but my wife (who LOVES sushi) said it was really good. The ginger and wasabi was very good. Our Chef showed up and did his show. It was nothing special but it was fun. He engaged the table well. My filet and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the plate of food was extremely filling. My wife ordered the shrimp and scallops. She was very pleased with her choice. Pricing seemed to be decent. For the two of us with the meals we ordered with the California roll with waters...with tip it was $60. The offered lots of hibachi tables as well as regular tables for people just wanting to eat. Their menu was large with a lot of sushi roll options. It is a great little place for good food and a fun experience. read more

Such a good hibachi spot to have a date night or family night out! Sharing portions are great, prices are also great. I definitely would recommend this place to try. read more

I definitely want to give this spot the credit it's due: I loved their vegetable tempura! It was flavorful, hot, crispy, and had a great variety of veggies. There were a couple I hadn't tried before (something white and potato-like, as well as tempura asparagus), while I also got to enjoy my favorite preparation of sweet potatoes! Unfortunately, we didn't realize the tables were all lined up around the hibachi stations, making it loud and stuffy for regular diners. The steamed gyoza was also underwhelming and cold in the center. We would've ordered more, but the prices were higher compared to other sushi spots in the area. We weren't willing to pay twice as much for a sushi roll compared to competitors, and the bento boxes had a similar dilemma. I can't speak for the udon and other noodle soups, so those might be worth a try! We loved the service though! Our waiter was kind and attentive, and the food we did order was prepared quickly. I think if we came back for hibachi instead, the experience would be five stars! read more

This is an amazing place to eat. We had the hibachi lobster, and it was delicious. They give so much food for such a great price. The show was amazing entertainment we had the train with fire and the juggling of the utensils. The service was quick, and we didn't have to wait for the table to fill up. Well worth eating at this establishment. read more

The teriyaki chicken was like nothing I'd ever had before. It was mostly sautéd onions. The chicken was cooked well, just had no flavor.

hands down no questions or debate best habachi ever, i literally cannot stop craving it, the yum yum sauce is so good, this place beats kobe every time read more

Excellent family experience. Nice atmosphere, delicious hibachi, very friendly and attentive staff. It's been here over 10 years and has always been great. read more

We go to the one in Poinciana, so this is the first doing take out from here. They didn't disappoint. We had the spicy green mussels, sushi deluxe dinner and the Rainbow roll. All very good. The only reason I don't give them a 5 is bc I wish they would stop serving that salad which only has lettuce. They do it in Poinciana as well. It's not a salad, it's lettuce in a container. Please add some carrots and cucumber at least. Make it more refreshing. read more

Local hibatchi and sushi and it's great!! I have never been disappointed with food or hibachi here. The best and most expensive roll is the King of the ocean. They have other delicious rolls as well. I can't recall ever having a bad experience here. The only down side is I can't afford to eat here as Much as I wish. read more

We went here as this is one of my son's favorite places growing up and he is visiting from Korea. Just as we remember. We were seated at a grill by ourselves since there was 5 of us. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Always nice and polite. We got the usual hibachi. We also got dumplings and a salmon roll. Good taste on both. The show of course was great and always fun. Love it when they pick on the kids. LoL. We were also celebrating my sons birthday and they gave him fried ice cream without us even ordering it. We will for for be back. read more

Went to Mizu, and everything was delicious! Our server Chris went beyond and above to accommodate everyone in our party. Food had a lot of flavor and very well portions. They have an option you can have two meats with the rice and noodle, and other thing. We had shared the plate and trust me it's enough for two. Can't wait to come back! read more

The reason I keep going back to this place is not the food. The food is tasty but nothing to write home about. My daughter absolutely loves this place for the hibachi dinner. She asks every year to come here for her birthday. The chefs that do the cooking have so many tricks and are so entertaining! They really know how to put on a show and get everyone involved. I think that they are a known birthday spot! There were three other families with birthdays going on while we were there that Saturday. read more

Delicious food and great customer service. Me and my wife enjoy eating the dinner hibachi you will not be disappointed and at a affordable price ! read more

I'm disappointed I didn't try this place sooner. We did the hibachi table, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. It's a mom and pop restaurant, and everyone that worked there was happy and friendly. The only rude person there was a guest that had an air of superiority. I loved Mizu. I plan to go back more often now that I know what they serve. I should not have listened to the reviews because it kept me away for a year and a half before I figured to give it a shot. read more

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect but this place is so freaking amazing!!! Service was a little slow but my server was so sweet & respectful that I will be back again'n Anywho, sushi was fresh & prepared very well. The teppan grill was close but their ventilation was strong that you can barely see any smoke coming off the flat top. This place was full for teppan. The sushi bar wad small but it was full with me & 3 other guests who ordered a bunch of food. Definitely a place to try. read more

Before Covid we ate here at least 2 or 3 times a month. We normally eat in a booth . Often we would get sushi but mostly we ordered Bento boxes. The food is always delicious and hot. Our server is always attentive and accommodating. We haven't eaten out since Covid and had not even called here for take out because we thought it wouldn't be as good. tonight We really wanted It (been several months). We both got bento boxes. They were Excellent!! Bravo to your staff read more

I just moved to Saint Cloud a few months ago. My best friend and I found this place online and were so impressed. We love it. I'm now on my sixth order personally. I gave them 4 stars because today I ordered my normal order of sushi and tried a new roll. I ONLY eat COOKED sushi and some of the fish that was supposed to be cooked was still raw. It was not just one roll it was two rolls I had bitten. That was disappointing. I'll still be back though. Covid wise : They are great. Initially they closed indoor dining. It was recently opened and they have been great. Everyone wears masks and upholds Covid policies. read more

I'm giving this place a one star, because I think their sushi rolls are overpriced. They were the smallest sushi I've ever had and for the price I paid I could have gone somewhere else and left satisfied. I will most likely not be returning to this place. I will stick to my Kobe from now on. read more

I see a lot of mixed reviews on this restaurant; ranging from horrible to fantastic. I normally do not read reviews prior to writing one but I felt, at least in this case, I already knew there would be a mix and I was not incorrect. This is not the kind of restaurant that you simply visit and get swept off of your feet. It's a restaurant that you need to get to know your host and staff and develop relationships to truly enjoy it. Yes, it's different and perhaps non-traditional but so is this town. And we have definitely made great relationships here. So on with my summation! I'm not a huge fan of dining with strangers at my table so the big griddle hibachi is not often visited by me. Sushi, however, I love. And Chef Benny, if he's on that day, is the best you'll find. Again, the better the relationship you have here, you know the rest. Having said that, though, you'll always get a great quality sushi from Benny. The picture I've attached is the result of me telling Benny and our server (who we always insist upon) Candy to just surprise me. "I trust you and you kinda know what I like; just surprise me, I'm hungry and feeling adventurous. Be creative." He did not disappoint and I think he actually enjoyed the opportunity. I know I did! I'd give Benny and Candy 10 starts out of 5 if I could. The restaurant itself could be better maintained and is not the best environment of cleanliness but it is average for this town. We really don't have anything really top-notch here, unfortunately. I believe it is coming, though. But in this town this restaurant is unique and, therefore, very popular. We make weekly visits. If you visit make an effort to engage with your new team. Don't rely solely on being a customer - make the effort to be a guest and friend. You'll be glad you did on many, many levels and maybe even find your new favorite restaurant. read more

It's Friday night which means take out day for our family. We are trying new places around the area to start creating our " fav list". We called in ahead for take out and I'm glad we did. When I got there, there was a huge line and a lot of people waiting to be seated while the place was jammed packed with families. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my order but I can't blame them because they were VERY BUSY. Once I got home we dove in into our food and we were quiet surprise at how much food we got. One meal is enough for two people but I still tried to finish it all. Overall, I will be coming back to try other items on their menu. read more
