Mizu was a delight for the whole family. We went to Mizu for the first time in July of 07 and from there I was hooked. The next week I had to take my co-workers so they could see this place. At first I was a little worried about the size of the place but soon after I entered I was greeted and seated in a timely fashion. The tables were adorned with candles which was nice but I was not worried about a romantic time since I was dining alone. lol Well I first had the Mary roll with a side of Ika. I spoke with the sushi chef Yoshi for several minutes while he prepared my roll. This was refreshing to know that my chef was actually from Tokyo. I watched him like a hawk waiting for the first mistake but to my delight everything was perfectly crafted. Later when I sat down the manager came over to see how everything was and recommended the Oozy roll. Well all I can say to her now is THANK YOU. The Oozy roll has now become 1 of my top 5 rolls ever and Se always knows what I want as soon as I walk in the door. Sorry back to the review I got side tracked and a little hungry just thinking about it. So I finished my first meal there and I was like a fish on a hook. After bringing in my co-workers we have made this small restaurant our official healthy lunch destination. A few weeks later I took my wife and 2 children but was very worried if the kids would like the food. To my astonishment the children lapped up every bite of there meals and even dared to try my Oozy roll. So now I have created another sushi fiend. lol Well the kids were very curious about the train and excited everytime it rounded the bar and the waitstaff was very patient with them and recommended a few items one of which was the edemame. They had a blast popping those peas from their shell and I admit it was fun for me too. All I can say is if you love sushi as much as I do then you need to try this place it is a gem well hidden in the growth of Raleigh.
Pros: wonderful quaint experience, helpful and courteous waitstaff and management and the food OOZY Roll
Cons: closed for lunch on Sunday.
