It was great, the food is amazing. We got the vegas roll, tobi roll, and kobe beef roll, and also the spare ribs. Everything was delicious. It was a little loud but they have a nice outdoor setting that is a little better. Over all the place gives a nice ambiance, with simple meaningful design. Pricing was pretty reasonable as well, I'd come back to try other things!

Beautiful atmosphere! Seriously so nice and clean I loved every thing about this place. Fantastic service as well. I enjoyed our server. The presentation was so lovely! My eyes feel in love with how it was placed. Now the food was okay. Wish it was better and a little more fresh but what can you do in a land locked state.

Mizu Izakaya is an absolute gem in Denver! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an incredible ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food was phenomenal—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the izakaya-style small plates were bursting with authentic flavors. The wagyu, ramen, and specialty rolls were all must-tries! Service was top-tier, with attentive and friendly staff who made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed. The cocktail menu was equally impressive, with expertly crafted drinks that perfectly complemented the meal. The vibes? Immaculate. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, making it the perfect spot for a date night or a night out with friends. Mizu Izakaya truly exceeded all expectations—I’ll definitely be back!

This place was a vibe overall! Inside looked very nice and unique! The Chicken Karaage appetizer was very very good! It comes with their house aioli dipping sauce and wow! Their Japanese Sausage skewers were yummy as well! Entree wise I got the Tonkotsu Ramen and I would easily get it again. I added A5 Wagyu Bone Marrow to it which I’d say isn’t worth it.. I didn’t get a cocktail but I got their Purple Haze house sake and it was tasty! You should give this place a go!

There were about eight of us here for a birthday celebration and we were all very happy with all the dishes, ambiance, and service. Had some amazing appetizers, omakase, cocktails, and wagyu beef skewers. The food timing was great, and the waiter knew just when we were full. Everything was plated magnificently. Will be coming back again for sure.

On the pricey side, even with half-price happy hour, but it's nice food! Not mouthwatering, but nice! Great atmosphere and service!

I love this place so much. The BEST SUSHI roll I’ve ever had is definitely the “High Roller”. The $ is worth it. All the food is so good and atmosphere is great! I would definitely recommend this place.

I’ve been coming to Mizu for years, and it’s always such a fun experience! The vibe is great, the music is always on point, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I love bringing friends who are visiting me here—it’s the perfect spot to kick off a night out. They’re always so accommodating, and the food never disappoints. I usually order a little bit of everything because it’s too hard to choose! Some of my favorites are the Kobe beef buns, uni carbonara, hotate roll, crispy spicy tuna, and the Brussels sprouts—everything is consistently delicious. Lee, the owner, always takes the time to check on his guests and make sure everyone’s having a great time. You can really feel the care he puts into the space, and it makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
