“I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! The only thing they could do better for me is make it free. I ate the orange and the orchid. The sushi chef was friendly and service was prompt. Tempura flakes were happily provided for my soup. #foodgasm“

“Good sushi not the hibachi dinner. Small portion and not made right. Tasted like a rookie made it. Both meat and rice were awful. Soup watered down yuk. Language barrier big time. Wait staff brought wrong drinks. Every one is nice and works hard. I would only go back for sushi.UPDATE: The best sushi lunch special around. Great rolls, salad and miso. The wait staff are great, very nice and quick. Decided to give it another try and has been consistently very good.“

“Not only was the food authentic and delicious but the staff was extremely attentive. We had Sylvia has our server, she was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They also had a nice kids selection which I appreciate when dining with my young children . We very much enjoyed our meal and will be returning soon.“

“Great menu, decently priced, lots of options, intimate atmosphere, food was cooked properly and tasted great. Would be a good unassuming/chill date night where time for conversation is desired and given. If you're wanting something quicker, they seemed to have an efficient Togo operation in place and my wife and I saw many carry out customers come and go during our hour and half visit.Update*tried to order takeout this evening and was denied service because they were "too busy". So I guess what appeared to be an efficient Togo operation was not in fact. Still a good date night spot but takeout service is hit or miss at best.“

“The avocado roll was a simple yet satisfying vegetarian option. The fresh, creamy avocado was the star, complemented by the slightly crisp nori wrapper. While not the most exciting roll, it delivered on its promise of avocado-filled goodness. The avocado was ripe and buttery without being overly mushy. A great choice for those looking for something light and healthy.The salmon roll was a standout item. The fish was incredibly fresh and high-quality. Each piece was a delicious bite of tender, fatty salmon that practically melted in your mouth. The roll was well-constructed with a perfect rice to fish ratio. The crisp nori provided a savory contrast to the richness of the salmon. Overall, an excellent representation of a classic sushi roll.The spicy tuna roll packed plenty of flavor and had a nice kick of heat. The tuna was chopped into a spicy mixture with a blend of chili sauce and spices. While very flavorful, the tuna retained its fresh taste and texture without being overpowered by the spicy components. The roll was generously filled and the rice held everything together nicely. A great option for those who enjoy a little heat.The miso soup was a soul-warming accompaniment. The dashi broth had an excellent umami flavor from the miso paste. It struck a perfect balance between savory and slightly salty. The tender cubes of tofu and wakame seaweed added textural contrast. Simple but comforting, the miso complemented the sushi rolls nicely. It's the kind of soup that makes you feel good after eating it.Overall, Mizu Sushi delivered on freshness and quality. The sushi rolls, especially the salmon and spicy tuna, were highlights. And the miso soup provided the perfect final savory note. A solid neighborhood sushi spot.#PurnellMediaSolutions #MizuSushi #Sushi #SushiRolls #AvocadoRolls #SalmonRolls #SpicyTuna #MisoSoup“

“We ordered the chicken hibachi bowl with fried rice and the sesame chicken bowl with noodles. both were delicious and plentiful! the service was friendly, welcoming and attentive, the atmosphere was laid back and quiet, we will definitely be back.“

“Stopped in for lunch, food was made to order and was delish.Service was kind of limited, soda area could have been Wiped, and a lot of tables were dirty and they were very slow, on their phones behind counter.... But that's the new age I guess, I ended up getting paper towels from the bathroom to wipe our table.Overall good food....“

“We had the hibachi grill and it was excellent. The chef was great too! As the grill was heating up he entertained us by flipping and twirling spatulas, an egg, and even tossed a piece of food so a diner could catch it in her mouth. He cooked everything to perfection on the grill in front of us. It was a fun evening and we are already talking about returning.“

“My daughter and I were staying on AMI and had a craving for sushi on a rainy evening. Our server was great. She answered our questions about portion sizes and gave recommendations based on our likes. I think the spicy mango shrimp roll was the most delicious roll I have ever eaten. Would definitely return if visiting the area.“

“This place is awesome! One of the best sushi spots we’ve tried. The Little Tokyo, Sakura and carmen rolls were all delicious. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond. The fried ice cream made my sons day! We will definitely be coming back here on our next Florida vacation“

“Excellent sushi, great selection of soups, and offer levels of heat if you enjoy spicy. Pineapple fried rice with Chicken and Pad Thai with chicken are my favorites. Atmosphere is a little jammed inside, and they are located in plaza located in the city of Palmetto.“

“Went for Saturday night dinner. We got there early so we got a nice table outside but got pretty busy as the night went on.Ordered the sake based on our server’s recommendation. Tasted very good, not too sweet.I got the omakase. I liked the toro (middle) which is fatty salmon. It didn’t come with salmon roe so I had to order separately. Our server did tell us what the items were but she thought it came with uni but it didn’t. I wish that it came with a piece of paper that said what each item was for a better dining experience. Everything tasted good and it came with wagyu which I didn’t expect but was a nice surprise.The omakase comes with salad and miso soup. Too much salad dressing tho.Husband ordered ramen - it was just okay. Egg was overcooked. I’d say they do sushi better than ramen.The gyoza was okay. I’ve had so many before and this one tasted good but wasn’t crispy enough.The tempura cheesecake was delicious. Perfect with ice cream.“

“WoW! This restaurant is simply amazing. We often go to a Korean BBQ back home thats hard to beat but tonight I must say that I had the best meat, sushis and appetizers ever. The waiter and the owner were so nice and welcoming. I will definitively bring my parents next time. You must try this excellent restaurant.“

“They have a good food. I forget the name of the dish that I ordered but I post the picture here. It’s a rice vermicelli. I really enjoyed it. My friend got shrimp fried rice and it was good as well! The service was okay - a bit slow. Looks like only one person working there. I was confused at first why the name is sushi & pho but there is no sushi on the menu. He forget to give the sushi menu.We were sitting next by the tv so it wasn’t a good choice, the atmosphere was okay. Definitely will come back for the food. The price is reasonable.“

“This is a quaint little place. When we arrived, it was around 6 pm. We got there just in time. By 630-645, the place was packed. We had the steak fried rice, a very generous portion, enough for 2. Very flavorful. We also had the shrimp and vegetables tempura as an app. I would say on standard to most sushi places. Ordered sushi of RockNRoll, crazy roll, and TNT roll. All were delicious. Highly recommend. Staff was very attentive and will most likely become our new goto place.“

“This is our go to place for Raman when we are in Lakewood Ranch. We are not necessarily Raman connoisseurs, but we know what we like and theirs is excellent. The staff are great as well with the manager (owner?) remembering us from year to year. They also have an extensive sushi menu, but have only tried a couple of items which were also very good.“

“I am an accomplished home cook and have very high standards…. almost unrealistically high standards when it comes to food. You might say that I am probably hyper critical of even the smallest errors in any dish which annoys my wife when we get take out.I’ve been to Sushi Hana several times and been extremely pleased each time. The care and artistry of the sushi chefs is both real and impressive. For example, who does not love Crab Rangoon? I have had it from a hundred places and it never fails to be delicious. Even bad versions are still quite good. At Sushi Hama the Crab Rangoon is next level good in flavor, quality and presentation. I am sure they don’t serve any that are bent or deformed as ours were ready for a Michelin star photo shoot of fine food. The crab flavor was amazing. Seems odd to rave over a simple dish but fact is we ordered at least 8 items including rolls, fried rice, seaweed salad and they were all fantastic. Great work, please thank your staff. We will be back.“
