    Chicken Pad Thai
    Hanaa K.

    It's small and shared parking lot in a busy plaza. Not very practical for a walker or wheelchair. Seats were very uncomfortable. They're hard and made of cheap wood. There aren't any booths and the chairs didnt have arms so getting up was a struggle. Staff was friendly. I got the chicken pad Thai. It was very tangy. Chicken tasted boiled. I couldn't get myself to finish it. My friend liked her food. It's a bit pricey for the portion size and I don't think I would return because the food wasn't impressive.

    Bento Box (with choice of chicken teriyaki)

    I tried this sushi place as a recommendation by a coworker and they did not miss with this one! Mizu is located in an unassuming shopping center in Winston Salem. My husband and I came here on a weekend for lunch and were seated immediately. I ordered a bento box from their lunch menu. It came with a California roll, shrimp shumai, shrimp & veggie tempura, and another entree choice listed from the menu (I picked chicken teriyaki). The bento box also came with your choice of ride and soup or salad. My husband ordered a spicy tuna roll along with his meal for an appetizer. The service here was incredibly fast. I received my salad within 2 minutes of ordering, the spicy tuna roll within 5 minutes, and my whole bento box in less than 10 minutes. Not only was everything fast, but it tasted delicious and fresh. The server also made sure to keep our water glasses filled. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you are craving sushi, Mizu is THE place to go!

    My wife suggested Mizu for Sunday lunch...who am I to deny her??? Oh wait! Mizu is one of my favorite places in Winston Salem for fresh Sushi. I got the three roll lunch special: spicy tuna, spicy salmon and the Phill roll. All were delicious! I also got some hot Saki to complement the rolls. We were served very quickly.

    I know a place is so good when I'm excited to go back and even though I life too far away, I want to make excuses to go there. Mizu is this kind of place. I've been here a handful of times and the food and service are excellent. This place has been around for a long time and it's a real gem. Personally, I think it's the best sushi in Winston Salem. You should try it.

    This is a regular go-to spot for me when I want to sit down somewhere and have a meal but can't really make up my mind. It's a simple, straightforward place that delivers decent reasonably priced food which probably won't blow your mind but will be reliable and consistent. Just like "Chinese restaurants" typically serve "Americanized Chinese" food, this place serves more "Americanized Japanese" food rather than truly authentic Japanese food. For this area it's in line with what you'd typically expect. Service is prompt and very attentive and wait time is minimal. They also carry Asahi so that's automatic kudos from me as well. The place and decor is nothing particularly special or unique but that's ok. Ambience is in line with what the restaurant is trying to be. Overall would recommend if you want something a little different, fast service and reasonable pricing.

    A Winston staple located in the heart of the city! The service is always up to snuff, the sushi and bento boxes never disappoint, and their ginger dressing is to die for. They never miss!

    Sushi and Sashimi Combo
    Ahnae S.

    I've been craving sushi and sashimi and this restaurant was exactly what I needed. The fish was so fresh and the presentation was beautiful. I asked for a side of Ponzu sauce which is a must have. My waitress was very attentive and service was fast. The restaurant has a lot of dining room seating with limited bar seating.

    Hibachi combo scallop with salmon and fried rice with no vegetables
    Sandy C.

    I used to love this place so much but now it's just bittersweet tonight I decided to take my sister out to dinner and when we arrive, of course they sit you down very quickly if they're not busy they get your drink order they give you a minute to see if you want any sushi appetizers or if you just wanna go ahead and order your food. The service is definitely fast and they do stay on top of what you need. the ambience is always welcoming It gives romantic date night vibes its a small space that has a lot of potential. we ordered the firecracker roll. The shrimp, avocado roll, a hibachi, scallop and salmon with fried rice and no vegetables and I was honestly disappointed. I feel like the scallops were cut in half and the salmon. I don't even know how to explain it. It was definitely a thin piece of salmon that looked as if it was flattened on press or something. The salad was good. The sushi was good as always but I don't know what type of salmon I got still paid for the food but sadly will no longer be returning

    Mizu is a nice small restaurant. Located inside a shopping plaza, making it easily available for shopper wanting a quick bite after a long day of shopping. I ordered the PINK Dragon Roll which was really good as well as fulfilling. Service was great checking on me frequently. Place is best for small groups. Overall a nice spot to enjoy some amazing sushi rolls as well as other Japanese dishes.

    Uni Shot
    Joel K.

    We recently went to Mizu while in Winston Salem for the day. It was recommended as being a delicious place to get Japanese food. We ordered an Uni shot, sushi, and hibachi. It was all delicious! The Uni shot was interesting for sure. The restaurant was decorated in your typical American hibachi kind of style. The service was quick and the server was very nice. Overall I would recommend this place if you are looking for a delicious Japanese meal!

    We've been craving sushi for a minute. Heard people raving about Mizu, so decided to give them a try. 99.5 sanitation grade! We tried three different types of sushi; California Roll, Crispy Tuna Roll, and the Chicken Tempura Roll. Each were great! They have a huge selection to choose from. We also had the appetizer Lettuce Wraps. I really liked the hot sauce for those, they put it on the side. I also tried a side salad. The salad was fresh and crisp and I enjoyed the creamy ginger dressing. My son had the Kid's Hibachi Chicken. Great portion size! He also got to choose between soup or salad and white or brown rice. Veggies were served with his, as well. The hibachi sauce was delicious! My husband tried the Gyoza Dumplings and said they were very good. We will go back for sure. Glad we tried it out. The service was great and the food came out quickly. The place stays busy, so that tells you something. It wasn't a huge place and not as fancy as I had pictured in my mind, but it was a nice experience and I'm a sucker for a good sanitation grade, and great food. Overall pleased with our visit.

    I cannot say enough positive things about this establishment. I have been coming here for years, and this is some of the best sushi I have ever had, and it is located here in my hometown, what a diamond! The staff is always courteous and friendly, ensuring you have what you need and checking in on you repeatedly. The sushi is always good, as well as the hibachi. I primarily get sushi when I come here because it is so good, but I have stray away and gotten hibachi before, and it was delicious as well, however their sushi trumps everything else on the menu. I usually start off with some sort of appetizer here, and this time I got the Japanese spring rolls, which were some of the best spring rolls I have had before. They were adequately filled and fried to perfection. I am also always impressed with their sanitation rating, as it is always a 98 or greater. I cannot recommend this place enough. There is ample parking, and the restaurant is pretty big, so no need to make reservations. Also, beware, they are closed on Tuesdays (weird), so do not try to go get your sushi on Tuesday like I did a few weeks ago.

    Dimly lit interior
    Fred B.

    Wow, 8 years between visits! Based on the meal I had, it will be even longer if at all, before the next one. The interior remains pretty much unchanged, crowded with tables, very low lighting, a feeling of closeness. I ordered the Shrimp and Filet Hibachi Combo with fried rice and a salad with ginger dressing - cost comes in at $22.25. The only item that was even close to the quality found at similar restaurants in the immediate area was the filet - not overcooked, with a decent amount of flavor. The shrimp were overcooked dreadfully, tough and chew, no freshness. Both the meat items were very small in quantity, the plate was mostly grilled vegetables and a bowl of fried rice. The vegetables were not bad, just not close to WOW worthy! One of the most disappointing items was the salad. I had really enjoyed the house made ginger dressing on previous, and considered it among the very best in the area. But the one I was served on this visit was weak and watery. In addition the lettuce in the salad was in large pieces, hard to eat unless you recut. And finally, the rice was clumpy and lacked the moist texture the Japanese fried rice is known for. This was not an enjoyable meal. The restaurant was dull and lacked any semblance of vitality, and this was definitely reflected in the food - most disappointing! Ambiance - 2.5 Food - 2.5 Service - 4 Value - 2

    This is my favorite hibachi steakhouse to eat at…read more The food is mostly good. It has consistently been under-salted lately, but that is easy enough to fix. My steak is always cooked perfectly. They have noodles in addition to rice, which I like, and I usually order an extra side of these. The portions are huge. My steak covered 1/2 of my plate today. I like the sushi. I get the veggie roll, fried. Honestly this is probably pretty hard to mess up, due to the distinctive lack of seafood, but still. No complaints here. The service is excellent. The past 2 times I've been, I've had the same server. I believe her name is Jennifer. She is awesome--the old school, super attentive, doesn't let the drinks go even close to empty type. The chefs are fun, most of them really do commit to the bit-- onion volcanoes, lots of jokes and banter, the whole 9 yards.

The wait time was relatively short as I didn't make reservations and my daughter enjoyed the coy pond out front! Our chef was very talented and provided great entertainment for me and my daughter. The fried bananas at the end are a special treat too! Our wait staff was also very friendly and attentive. We never were low on drinks! Only one star taken off because the wait time between sitting and the meal beginning was quite lengthy. It was a busy night so I'm sure this was what was going on!

This is not a high end place or even a place that specializes in sushi, but we thought we would give it a shot. It is clean on the inside of the restaurant and there is seating inside only.

The cost at the time the visit was $7 per roll. My wife had to wait for her veggies and when it came out it was not tempura. The veggies were coated in cornmeal and deep fried. They were okay, but DEFINITELY NOT tempura. With the rolls being okay I did try the "tempura" but will pass on that in the future if we visit again.

I'll be back for the rolls and order other appetizers. Overall I'm glad I came here.

They've got plenty of cooked options if that's your thing, but as you can clearly tell from my plate in the photo I was here for the sushi and the sushi only and it was totally delish. I saw some reviews on here complaining about the wait for food BUT honestly...that's not a negative at all. It just means everything is fresh to order which is a HUGE plus in my book. I waited about 15-20 minutes during lunchtime with a restaurant 75% full and didn't mind one bit. I'll wait every time for fresh sushi!! Also random but important I had to use the bathroom while I was there and it was spotless. That always tells you everything you need to know about a place. Super impressed overall. Did not expect to find sushi like this here, but I'll definitely be back next time i'm in town!! Probably twice
