Mizu was probably one of my favorite food stops while we were in mission. It's a smaller family-owned japanese/Korean(I think) restaurant on the bay side of Mission Beach and had a much quieter, more relaxed feel than some of the restaurants closer to the ocean. The workers were super nice and genuinely seemed to care about helping us find things we would like. We weren't completely sure what to order, so they helped us pick out a few different rolls and everything tasted really fresh. The spicy tuna roll was probably my favorite. We also ordered the Las Vegas roll thinking it was going to come deep fried, which it didn't, but I actually still really liked it. We ended up getting a pretty big variety of rolls to share, which was nice because we got to try a little bit of everything. We also went to Cannonball right on the beachfront during our trip, and while Cannonball definitely has the better ocean view, I actually preferred Mizu a little more for the food and atmosphere. Mizu is on the bay side so it's a lot quieter and more peaceful, which I really liked. Overall, really fresh sushi, great service and a much more laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a good spot if you're in mission and care more about the food and a quieter setting than having the beachfront view. read more

Pulled up here real loaded off beer and cigarettes from walking on the beach. Anyway I got me a shrimp tempura roll and a California roll, kept it nice and simple. We were literally the only people in the restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon. Anyway food came and the California roll was whatever, no bursts or anything really that stood out here. The shrimp tempura roll was honestly pretty solid, had a mix of flavors and was prepared well. Overall a whatever sushi spot, wouldn't drive out of my way for it.

As noted in other reviews, the inside decor is somewhat random and feels like it is in need of a renovation. But being forewarned means you won't be scared away from what is some really good sushi! The Poseidon was incredible. The eel was really delicious and perfectly light and flakey and is what I must eat again. The Cali beach was a little surprising/ disappointing for me- it was a crab and scallop roll but the scallops were the petit kind and because of the fluorescent lighting and the color of the sauces all I could see was vomit when I looked at this. It really kept me from enjoying it. But my partner liked it enough. The temptation was a fun variation of California roll and we enjoyed getting to try a variety of sauces. It's sort of a novelty item so I don't know that I would get it again but if you think of it like a sampler platter it's tasty and fun. The salmon special was mango and lemon and salmon and the mango sauce they use was way too sweet for me, but again my partner liked it. Service is quick and efficient, my water glass was never empty which I love. read more

This was a simple spot with a mix of classic and fusion dishes. The inside was a little rundown, but it did not matter as the service was friendly and patient while the food came out timely. Four rolls were ordered. Mango Salmon Roll ($8.50) - This was nicely done. The mango sauce was sweet, but not overly done, and went well with the other rolls we ordered. Mission Bay Roll ($18) - This had spicy tuna on the inside, and salmon on top. There was also lemon on top that was not mentioned. It was a pleasant surprise as it complimented the spicy tuna, which was spicier than usual for a sushi roll. Adrian Roll ($18) - This once again had spicy tuna on the inside, but had either snapper, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, or shrimp on top. Again, the spicy tuna was spicier and all seemed fresh. It was another simple roll done right. Mimi Shrimp Tempura Crunchy ($15) - This had shrimp tempura, a tempura shaving with dynamite and sushi sauce. This was alright. The shrimp were nicely fried but came out cold. I thought it would be warmer. The tempura shaving reminded me of the Chinese donuts found at buffets. When the check was put down, oranges were given too. These were fresh and a nice refresher to end the meal. Will I go back? Probably. read more

The food and service was so awesome! You need to come here no questions about it. Bring the family and be ready to eat amazing sushi

The place might look rundown, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sushi! We ordered the Alaskan Roll and the Temptation Roll. Both were really good, but my personal favorite was the Temptation Roll. Each bite had a different fish and sauce -- it all tasted amazing. I would come back next time I'm in the area. Service was very friendly. It was pretty warm in there, but a fan was set up by our table to give us some breeze. read more

The food is actually decent - I know the place looks run down, but udon, baked mussels (would be better without the fake crab), and sushi were all on par. We got the salmon belly which was tasty. Just watch out for the older lady who works at the joint - she's kinda mean. Everyone else is very nice. Could use a renovation but I'm sure they do well enough to not need it. read more

My family and I were looking for a quick dinner close by and we decided on this sushi place that was right next to the park that my husband and brother picked up their packets for their triathlon race. This restaurant has both Japanese and Korean food which is cool and their portion sizes are huge. Everything tasted good but it wasn't amazing. I got their Seafood Tofu Soup which to my surprise was huge, the biggest tofu soup i've ever had and packed with a lot of things. My husband got their Sesame Chicken Teriyaki which was okay to him. We also ended up sharing the Eel roll which was pretty good and had a lot of rolls for it's price. Overall, good reasonably priced restaurant for Japanese/Korean food that was nearby.

Sleeper pick! I've passed by this place so many times and wanted to try it but just always assumed it would be slammed due to being in a tourist destination (right by Belmont park). Much to our surprise, we walked right in on a busy Saturday. There were still plenty of people enjoying the restaurant so maybe we just got lucky or maybe they have enough seats to accommodate many guests. The servers were QUICK!! They were a little snappy and straight to the point but in a refreshing way. We thought it was fun and funny! Lots of vegan options and everyone loved their dishes. Some had sushi and others had stir fry noodle dishes. My husband raved about how delicious his noodles were and how many sautéed veggies the dish contained. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back for sure!! read more

Hold the phone! I've lived in SD for 3 years and have yet to have some solid sushi. Are you telling me all I had to do was stumble across this sushi joint as I was leaving Mission Beach to get some good sushi? This place has no frills or thrills in the ambiance department, just really good sushi, and even better customer service. Make sure to grab some hot sake and Sapporo while you're at it. read more

Great sushi if you're staying in Mission Beach area. If you stay at Bahia it's a short walk.

This place was amazing! The sushi was fat and delicious, tasted so fresh too! I don't understand why people on here are saying the old lady is mean cause she was so nice and super sweet to us. She accidentally switched our bill and gave us oranges as an apology, it was awesome. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend! :) read more

The food is always prepared well and is fresh. I order the usual Albacore, Ahi and Yellowtail sushi everywhere I go. It did not disappoint, was fresh well presented and handsomely portioned. The short ribs were tender, the salad was excellent, our daughter had enjoyed the shrimp tempura as she is a picky eater this was a delight. I would highly recommend this place. I was a college kid here 30 years ago and it's nice to be able to afford this on a weekday uncrowded. A must have in Mission Bay if you can make the time. The nigiri was on point! All other menu items are great. We have been coming here every year for vacation and every other impromptu trip. read more

Great place for Asian food craving when you're in mission beach. For more of an authentic vibe than the upscale one at Belmont park, this is definitely a vibe. It may seem a bit out of place, but the service here is great. They're fast, attentive and the sushi is so good. It's more of Japanese/korean vibe kind of restaurant. read more

The rolls came out pretty quickly and were really huge! All were very fulfilling and delicious! Acvording to our server they also have a seperate menu for Korean dishes as well but you'd have to order a day in advance from that menu. This restaurant is only a short walk from Belmont Park and the pricing and portions of food here are more reasonable compared to the Japanese restaurant at Bemont Park. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it seemed very authentic and quirky, but it wasn't meant to be. I went with my wife and kids to celebrate Valentine's Day in a weekend trip to San Diego. Again, the place is visually interesting, with many Asian inspired things decorating every wall and the servers were very friendly. It was packed and they were able to accommodate us right away. We ordered 2 miso soups, 4 California rolls, 1 Mission Bay roll, 1 Rainbow roll, and 2 Salmon sushi. I also got an Asahi in the tall presentation (600 ml). Their miso soup was delicious and comforting and their service was nice. The taste of the rolls was ok, but what caused some issues for me was the combination of ingredients in the Mission Bay roll, ginger and lemon rind. Now don't get me wrong, the rest of the flavors in that roll were good, but somehow the combination of those two ingredients made my palate taste everything else bitter. I also had issues with their Salmon sushi, it wasn't as fresh as it should have been, so it tasted fishy, I only ate 1 of the 2 pieces, as I didn't like it. Their California roll was not with ground crab, but crab chunks, so it tasted bland and a bit like it was store-bought. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience, disappointing, and unpleasant. I won't be back, but if you are a local you can try some other rolls and give it a try, maybe I was just unlucky. read more

We ordered several sushi rolls to go twice during our 5-night stay on Mission Beach. It was fresh and delicious and surprisingly affordable for both sushi and Mission Beach. There is a wide range of roll options, so costs could creep up, but a great selection of delicious classics if you are watching your spend. Nice to have a range of choices when feeding a family of four on vacation in San Diego. Service was prompt and friendly. We will definitely return one day!
