Our Story

MIZU was born from a simple idea: to bring the vibrant, authentic flavors of Asia to the sun-kissed shores of Mission Beach. We saw a community of locals and visitors craving more than the ordinary—a dining experience that felt both adventurous and familiar.

Our name, meaning "water" in Japanese, reflects our connection to the Pacific and our philosophy: to flow seamlessly between culinary traditions. We don't just serve sushi, Korean BBQ, and udon noodle soups side-by-side; we craft a harmonious fusion where each dish respects its roots while creating something uniquely MIZU.

Located at the heart of 850 W Mission Bay Dr, we are more than a restaurant. We are a gathering place where the energy of the beach meets the warmth of shared meals. Our mission is to provide an inviting, casual space where every bite tells a story of quality, care, and coastal charm.

Our Guiding Values

At MIZU, our philosophy is simple: create an exceptional dining experience rooted in authenticity, quality, and genuine care for every guest who walks through our door.

We are committed to using only the freshest ingredients. Our sushi-grade fish is selected daily, and our produce is sourced locally whenever possible to ensure vibrant flavors in every dish, from our sushi to our Korean BBQ.
