Mizu, Kissimmee

I had sushi Thursday night at this Japanese steakhouse south of Hunter's Creek. It's on the west side of John Young on W Osceola Parkway. It's near the Best Buy. This place is a bitch to find. Google Maps may route you to a street (Greenwald Way) that wraps around JYP. If you get on the wrong end of it, you may get frustrated that you can't find it. It's also inconvenient to access off I-4. I can't recommend that you try unless you live nearby. I had one order (two pieces) of yellowtail and conch for $5 and one order of salmon for $4. I also had a tuna kabashi for $7. The sushi was fresh. The servings were generous. The rice was properly prepared. The kabashi was not served on top of a bowl of rice. It was served on top of avocado and cucumber. It was a lighter version. The tuna was plentiful. The place seats about ten at the sushi bar and fifty in the first room. They have a hibachi area and it seats about eighty (possibly more). The hibachi area was full. The reservations were also at their limit. The first room was about three quarters empty. The upkeep could have been better. The sushi bar was a mess and took a while to be cleared. They had full busing crates right between the two rooms. There was also a lot of clutter and junk against the walls. The manager admitted they have trouble training and keeping staff. The decor was a little sparse. The bathrooms had the most flash. Good food. Good pricing. Popular place. A little neglected. A little out of the way. Be happy (if you live there) that this is the game in town. You could do worse.
