Mizu Sushi Bar

It's definitely better to eat in than take out!

by Kalina at Citysearch

In the past, I normally treated this as a takeout sushi place and yesterday was the first time I dined in. The difference in quality is like night and day. The pieces you get when you dine in are bigger and, of course, fresher. My spouse says it's because they know you can tip them at the restaurant, which makes sense. I recommend dining in rather than taking out for that very reason. I usually get the Sushi Deluxe or Mizu Combo. Both are well worth it because they always seem to throw in an extra piece of sashimi. I've eaten sushi in Boston, New York, and Philly and can say that this is decent stuff. Not the best, but decent for the price.

• Pros: inexpensive, decent quality

BEST SUSHI

by JulianKluver at Citysearch

The food is fantastic, remarkable, exquisite, and amazing. One of the best sushi places I have ever been to, and the people that work there are the utmost passionate and gentile with their work. The service is outstanding and the people are polite. ONE OF THE BEST!!!

great quality considering the price

Mizu is definitely not gourmet...but it's also very reasonably priced. Mizu has just about the best quality for price exchange for sushi in the entire city. It seems like I'm in there everyday. The staff is also consistently nice and attentive. Again, not gourmet, but easy and very affordable.

• Pros: quality for price
• Cons: pretty small

Just average

Sushi was okay. I wasn't knocked out by it. The portions were generous enough. I have to say though, this place has nothing compared to Vic's Sushi, which is just around the corner on Sansom, between 20th & 21st (not listed in Citysearch). Vic's has very affordable deals, creative makis, incredible freshness, and fast service - and seems to do everything better than Mizu.

• Pros: Generous portions for prices
• Cons: Not as good as Vic's!

Good Sushi

I had spicy tuna rolls and my boyfriend had the spicy california rolls. The food was incredible. Everything tasted so good. I definitely recommend calling ahead to get your food because this place is VERY BUSY. It's cheap but it's definitely worth it. I felt a little nauseous after eating the spicy tuna roll but I ate a lot of junk food after it so it could have been anything really. I'd go back again but I'd probably order the spicy california roll because it was very good as well! The Mizo soup and green salad were incredible. I've never had better!

• Pros: The food
• Cons: If you don't order ahead and pick you will be waiting FOREVER!
