I haven't written a review in three years, but I've become a regular here and feel like it's long overdue- Mizu deserves a solid 5 stars for both quality and value. The spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and salmon avocado rolls are part of my regular lunch rotation, always fresh and consistently good. When I want something a little extra, I love the Fancy Tuna and the Bonsai Tree roll- both beautifully done and full of flavor. Their vegetarian udon / soba noodle dishes are also great. And of course, the meal isn't complete without the tempura ice cream. Consistent food and excellent value- that's why I keep coming back. read more

We recently visited Misu Sushi. Double date and was absolutely delighted. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The sushi itself was fresh and flavorful, with a fantastic variety of options. Highly recommend it for anyone craving quality Japanese cuisine! read more

Another hidden gem of Cranford! Was looking for sushi on a hot summer night and this place hit the spot. Tons of variety in the menu and very fresh sushi. The gyoza special was FANTASTIC and beautifully presented. I would order more for my meal and be happy! Our server was attentive without being too present. Always came when we needed and was very kind and kept our table clean when he noticed our ice bucket was leaking for our wine! this BYOB sushi restaurant is reasonably priced and I will definitely return! read more

Stopped by on a Friday night (with resi) to meet friends and it was nice! Staff was super attentive and our waters were always being refilled. It's BYOB, which was nice. We each ordered a bunch of rolls- passion, tiger, crazy salmon, sweet lady and sweet potato roll. Everything was good- we also shared a vegetable pad thai. That was pretty delicious! Nice local spot - read more

Nice place to bring a date ..maybe nice to visit once, but not a regular place for me. It's over price for what you get and seating are a bit uncomfortable. read more

Ordered a crazy salmon roll + salmon toll for take out. Service was good, and my order came out in about 10 minutes (it wasn't too busy at the restaurant when I placed my order). Salmon was very good, buttery, and not fishy at all. Fish-to-rice ratio was great as well. Wasn't really a fan of the tempura crunch they had on top of the crazy salmon roll, but everything else was great! Hoping to return soon to try out some other items they have! read more

Cranford you did it!! You have amazed this native DC chick (from a city with plentiful, amazing food options in a mediocre new city in NJ) with Mizu Sushi! I have searrcccheeedd long and hard for some good sushi in NJ and finallllllllyyyyy it has paid off. Mizu is awesome. List full of very good variety of sushi combos. I loved how this place was accommodating and made substitutions or addons in the sushi. Mizu has an awesome lunch special Mon-Sat 11-3 but outside of that your basic rolls are pretty cheap and even the special rolls are a good price too around $12. I tried the american dream roll (added mango), lobster tempura, and volcano roll. All the sushi was very fresh and flavorful. I feel some other places Ive tried the sushi is bland and falling apart but not the case here. Cute little sushi displays and fast service! Just note its BYOB so make your own lychee martinis and come eat lol. read more

I always really like the service here! The waiters are so nice and are constantly making sure the table is taken care of. The sushi is also fresh and tasty. I ordered a spicy shrimp roll, and a couple of the chef specials, they were absolutely delicious! I will be back soon. read more

All of the sushi, noodle dishes, and soups I've tried have been delicious. I usually order a variety of special rolls, and they have been consistently fresh and tasty. We've dined at the restaurant a number of times and, recently, have been getting delivery a lot. The food is always ready very quickly. We've taken a bunch of friends to Mizu, and everyone has been very happy with their meals. read more

Upon further thought (and a few more visits), I think Mizu Sushi was just having an off day during my first order. Since then, they've never gotten my order wrong in any way so I feel the need to absolutely sing the praises of what I've ordered. Snow Crab Roll -- so yummy, sweet, and flavorful, and what I consider to be the best non-special roll Snow Mountain Roll -- like an upgraded snow crab roll, and the sweet eel sauce that they have on it is everything Vegetable Pad Thai -- hands down, my one and only favorite pad Thai; it has such a deeply complex flavor profile and it's wonderfully and perfectly savory when paired with a little soy sauce; big portion too Tiger Roll -- delicious with the freshest salmon around on top From what I can tell, you do need to call in your order right now and then you can pick it up in this COVID-friendly window at their front door. I love this place and I'll surely be back again soon. read more

Never had a bad meal here and I go often! The service is great and prompt. My must haves are the Spider-Man Roll & Sushi Tacos. Had a desert (pyramid) for the first time recently and like everything else did not disappoint. Love this place. read more

I really really liked this place. I will definitely be going back - the sushi was tasty and reasonably priced. One quirky thing: this card was posted in the menu cover saying that prices were raised, without indication of the new prices actually are. They should have just waited until the new menu came in. read more

Great food and amazing service in a perfect location. Bring your own bottle is a must!

Great food and excellent service. Can't wait to go back! Timing between courses was perfect, not rushed.

Absolutely fresh sushi and the owners Gary and Andy are such sweethearts and great service I recommend and the American dream roll. The vibe there is amazing and calm not too crazy either read more

I was there on a Friday evening, although the sushi was fresh and tasted good I didn't enjoy the service. I wanted to dine and take my time enjoying my company however the staff was very pushy on getting my table of 2 to keep ordering so we needed up leaving sooner than we planned too. 4 different staff members came up to my table in a matter of 5 mins to take our entree order. I personally don't like to feel rushed when dinning out. Overall the food made up for the rushed service read more

TL;DR: Do not go here if you want real sushi. Actually, forget about real sushi; do not go here if you want a SERVICEABLE MEAL. Period. This place ... this is not my kind of place. I've been here more times than I can count, as my autistic son enjoys it, and, it being difficult to find places he actively enjoys, I treat him somewhat regularly. But I could never recommend this joke of a sushi place to anyone. Forget joint, Mizu doesn't enjoy the distinction of being a joint. Mizu is located in downtown Cranford, which is an utter shande; beautiful Cranford deserves better than this (yes, I know there is Mr. Sushi, but it's no better than Mizu). I'm just gonna get right into the meat and potatoes: Mizu is run by Chinese people. Nothing against them, but let's be honest - they're not known for their sushi. Regardless, the staff is flat out rude. Despite being a regular who always tips decent, I've never been acknowledged. In fact, I've been ignored during busy hours. The service is appalling. Negative stars. The food? It's another shande. The sushi is not authentic, and it's made with all the enthusiasm and vigor of an Amazon employee being monitored by Artificial Intelligence to ensure quotas are met. I'll just relay my last experience at Mizu, which will probably be my last. I sat across from the chefs, which turned out to depress me greatly. You could tell they were overworked and underpaid. The amount of sushi these guys have to roll during busy hours is enough to boggle the mind and instill a sense of pity. I almost wanted to storm the bar and unshackle them. Clearly, they weren't happy, and it showed in the quality of my rolls, which were unevenly cut to an extreme degree, ingredients spilling out. The avocado was not fresh. My son ate his rolls with gusto, but again, he isn't quite aware of these intracacies. I felt some pleasure wash over me seeing him enjoying his meal, until I looked back up at the chefs. We decided to skip dessert, and waited 15-20 minutes to be acknowedged by our waiter, who was about as overworked as the sushi chefs and had all the politeness of a wet rag. I foolishly left a good tip despite the exceptionally poor service I received, mainly because I felt sorry for the chefs. I should note that before I signed the check, a few orange slices were brought out. I almost always feel tempted to chuckle at the absurdity of this. Needless to say, they went uneaten, as they always do. I doubt I can return to Mizu after ruminating on my experience sitting across from the sushi chefs; but then again, there aren't many places to choose from in the area. I couldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Hopefully in the future my son will discover another place he enjoys so I can leave Mizu in the dust. read more

Mizu sushi is our go-to sushi spot. They don't deliver to me, but it is definitely worth the drive to pick up or eat at. The sushi is always amazing and fresh. Their menu has so many options. The staff is so attentive and friendly. Such a cute little sushi spot in downtown Cranford. They also are usually pretty fast with pickup or table service read more

Been going to this place for many years always solid alas that is no longer the case. It went from a always solid to getting sushi 1 out of 3 not being good to now lucky if you get a decent order at all. And considering the price of sushi today that's not a bet I'm willing to make. Last order the tuna was bland and chewy didn't taste fresh or good quality. Salmon had no taste, neither did the yellowtail. It's a shame but we've had too many subpar experiences to frequent this place anymore. I guess it was a good run. read more

One of my favorite work lunch places. I can't go wrong with either their Sushi or their hibachi chicken fried brown rice. They have many items on their menu. I've been going there since they opened since I work in Cranford & I've never been disappointed. My daughters love it too so I've gone many times on the weekends too. read more

Best sushi in town. We moved here from NYC so we are sushi snobs. I was afraid we will forever have to go to NY for sushi, but so happy that I found this gem in town. Always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. We have ordered out and ate inside. It's BYOB so that's also a nice perk. read more

Recently moved to the area and wanted a go-to sushi spot. My husband and I ordered 2 specialty rolls, California roll, and chicken pad Thai. The American dream roll was my favorite! Everything was good and fresh! I especially loved that they were accommodating with our twin infants. We take up a lot of space and have found some places to be bothered by that. We made a reservation and was seated right away. We will definitely go back! read more

Used to be good but today's fish tasted like old cat food and just wasted $70. I almost barfed when I ate the mackerel; most everything else was pretty nasty as well, but don't eat the mackerel. I don't think I'll be returning here again after this experience. Very disappointed customer. read more
