“Little “hole in the wall” type of place. We dined in but they do a ton of takeout because the restaurant is so small. I’m allergic to shellfish and the chef was very careful when making my rolls. We also ordered the vegetable tempura. All of it was delicious! Not a super fancy sushi spot, but highly suggest.Dietary restrictions: The chef was very cognizant of my shellfish allergy, always a worry at a sushi spot!“

“Great food and fun presentation.“

“My husband and I visited here on Saturday night and the food was excellent! Our waitress was so friendly and the service was great! We loved the atmosphere! We will definitely be coming back!“

“First time going here and I ate very well! We were seated immediately and our server was kind. My friend and I enjoyed all of our sushi rolls! The gyoza was AMAZING, perfectly cooked. The dining area was clean with the perfect amount of lighting. Can't wait to go back! But, entrance area can use a remodel as it looks a little unkempt. I do wish parking was better here as it's on a main road with a very small lot.“

“We have been going to Gohan since they opened and always leave with a full belly and happy heart! The food is amazing and the experience is second to none. Can’t say enough great things about Will and Rachel and how they run their restaurant.“

“I stopped in here with my friend a few weeks ago to get poke bowls and boba. My peach tea with popping strawberry boba was amazing!!!! The build your own poke bowl option is really fun to do too if you like picking your own options for things. Such a cute little hidden gem for sure!“

“I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant. The culinary offerings were exquisite, complemented by a delightful atmosphere and attentive staff.

The atmosphere was lovely, the servers were super friendly and the flavors were amazing. We can't wait to try more of their unique rolls!“

“Ordered take out: a Kalbi Bento box and Seafood pajeon pancake, and both were delicious at home! The bento box came with japchae glass noodles and dumplings- a perfect pairing for someone who loves Korean food. The seafood pancake was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and had a perfect soy scallion sauce on the side. Would highly recommend for take out!“

Very good with kids, too, and made my grandson feel special.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options in every categoryKid-friendliness: Welcoming and accomodating for kids“

“Man, I remember when this food court used to be packed with customers and businesses during lunch. Now it’s down to 2 spots for grub. Either way, destroyed the Spicy Salmon bowl with brown rice. It was really good. If you’re looking for a good space to enjoy good food and be left alone to read or whatevs, this is a good space for that. For now.“

“Great sushi, great service, great price. Can't beat it (get the large sake?)Honestly love a lot of the sushi places.

“Amazing experience! First time coming to Mizu 21 and it did not disappoint, the food was delicious and the service even better!! My parents and I were seated for hibachi dinner on Mother’s Day and had a lovely experience with Kelly as our server, she was very attentive and personable. The food was cooked perfectly and at the end of the meal my mom was given a flower for Mother’s Day. Thank you Mizu for an amazing experience, I will definitely be recommending to friends and coming back for another visit!!“

“We stopped here for some quick sushi due to its proximity to the Truck Bar. It was a good find! A little hole in the wall place in a large plaza. The service was excellent, very attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was a little underwhelming, as it seemed to keep busy with mostly takeout orders as opposed to dine in. The food itself was good, not the greatest sushi ever, but it hit the spot for a sushi craving!“

“Their food is one of the best sushi places ever, I ordered the shrimp tempura one with mango and one without amazing and the spicy mayo delicious. I just upset that they are no longer in Bloomfield,Ct anymore but happy their still around for sure.“

We went during the week after work and it was very busy.We got hibachi items and temporah. I had to get Sake because of the name!Huge plates and generous portions. Prices are average and food tasty, hot, well presented. We waited a bit for one dish and owner comp'd an appetizer for the table. We enjoyed everything.“

“I went here for lunch during the weekday. It wasn't busy. The service was good. Got a shrimp tempura lunch box, which was not bad. The portion was good for the price and comes with a variety of stuff, 4 California rolls, 4 mini shrimp dumplings, shrimp tempura, fried vegetables, and white rice. I will return to try other food.“
