    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)
    Melody B.

    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!

    The salmon is not recommended. I've had better white sauce. I don't get it. They have a good customer base, but hey....different strokes.

We wanted sushi and red curry and they delivered us some excellent eats. Service was awesome and the manager still always comes by to ask if everything is ok. Love that. Probably at some point will need a Reno as they have been open awhile but nothing looked bad nice busy atmosphere and lots of customers which is nice to see. We ordered a standard vodka soda from the drink menu. They have drink specials every day as well. Then we tried the sweet heat roll which was so pretty ! Delicious with all the sushi elements. Yum. Then we tried the poke bowl with ahi tuna. Wow so big! Rice, seaweed salad and lots of Veggies and a yummy soy wasabi vinaigrette. The tuna sashimi was so fresh. Then the red curry with chicken. We asked for extra Thai spicy and it was just the perfect heat. Served with white rice this was a huge portion honestly could have served 3 people. We still had a lot left over . They were also great about giving us another bowl of rice which is also a nice touch . The sauce here for this red curry is amazing. I will be back to buy it as we asked if they sell it and our server said yes . It is one of the best I've ever had. We were somewhat totally full !! Haha! Such a fun night here eating all this amazing Great food . I need to make sure I come back sooner than a few years! If your red curry fan definitely come here!

    Went for lunch. We got two different lunch specials--they came with soup (I paid to upgrade to miso…read moresoup). We also got an appetizer of crab Rangoons. Our soups and appetizer were the absolute best thing we ate. Our entrees were okay. My husband got the beef bulgogi and it needed something. He thought the addition of chili sauce would make it ideal. He gave it a 6 out of 10. I ordered the hibachi beef bowl and it was lacking flavor. The beef was well cooked but didn't seem to have any salt, soy sauce, or anything like that. It was a 5 out of 10.

We were out shopping and craving pho when this place popped up and we were both like, "Ohhh yeah!" I'm honestly surprised I don't hear more people talk about this restaurant. It's a small place and it seems like sushi is actually their main focus since it's the first thing on the menu. But we came for the pho and it did not disappoint. The pho was delicious. We asked our server if they had anything spicy besides Sriracha and she brought their chili oil. If you like spicy food, definitely ask for it! It had a nice garlicky flavor, wasn't overly spicy and paired perfectly with the pho. We also tried their version of crab rangoon. We were surprised that the filling was green but it was actually really good! We didn't care for the dipping sauce that came with it though. So far we've only tried the pho but we'd definitely like to come back and try some of their other dishes.

It's a little bit messy in the bathrooms and there's spots that could use a deep scrub especially but that gets a pass because of how hard they work! They even hand make chopsticks for the kids to use.
