“I pulled a non-Karen today and asked for the manager. I explained to her how amazed I was at their food and how utterly fantastic it is. I ordered an unagi poke bowl and a salmon Maki roll via GrubHub, then I went there in person and ordered the unagidon and salmon roll, and today I ordered the steak teppanyaki, salad, seaweed salad (OMG - seriously? BEST I'VE EVER HAD), and got the tonkotsu ramen with menma. She remembered me from my order today and when I was there last week. Let's talk about the salmon roll - absolutely fresh and filled with thick pieces of salmon and perfectly cooked sushi rice. The rice was a compliment rather than the main to the roll. The steak? Chef's kiss. perfectly seasoned and tender with amazing veggies. Serving size? Goodness, well deserved of the price. The seaweed salad? OMG. usually, I'll get a teensy bit for the same price. Here, you get a good chunk of it but it's served over romaine lettuce with chopped cucumbers. It's definitely a true salad. Now, let's talk about the tonkotsu. The chasu pork is seared perfectly and absolutely delectable. It's also served with green onions, an excellent half of a shoyu egg, and I added menma (bamboo shoots). The broth is excellent and you can tell it has been carefully taken care of (a tad garlicky, but that's fine with me), silky, and says "I'm your comfort food" over and over again. Lastly, the service shows how much they care about their food and their customers. Like I said, I pulled a Non-Karen and spoke to the manager and sang praises for their food and service. I now have my favorite Japanese spot now that I'm back in Birmingham. PS. their unagidon is on fire! Yum!“

Our waiter was very rude after we mentioned our food tasting funny.. the waiters comment was “have y’all ever eaten here before” Very disappointed to only be told sorry and charged $25 for my food that only a bite was ate. Very disappointed to say the least.“

“Dining at Mizu Japanese Steak House in Trussville was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We ordered the Alabama Roll, Volcano Roll, Fried Rice with Yum Yum Sauce, and Steak Fried Rice, and every bite exceeded expectations.

The Alabama Roll was fresh and flavorful, with a perfect balance of textures and tastes, while the Volcano Roll delivered a delightful kick with its bold flavors and creamy topping. Both rolls showcased expert preparation and high-quality ingredients.

The Fried Rice with Yum Yum Sauce was savory and rich, with the sauce adding a deliciously creamy finish. The Steak Fried Rice was equally impressive, with tender steak pieces cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere was incredibly immersive, transporting us into a vibrant and authentic dining experience. The ambiance paired perfectly with the sizzling grills and lively energy of the restaurant.

Our waitress was remarkably efficient and attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and our needs were met without hesitation.

Overall, Mizu Japanese Steak House is a must-visit for anyone in Trussville craving outstanding Japanese cuisine paired with exceptional service and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be returning for another unforgettable meal!“
