Fantastic experience with a large party! Great service by all staff, delicious food flavors, excellent margaritas, and an upbeat + fun atmosphere. Perfect spot to celebrate with a large group or to grab a quick bite during the week!

Had the BEST time here for my bachelorette party dinner. JP is a legend and made it the most fun experience. Honestly their whole business could be birthdays and bachelorette parties. Super fun music and ambience matched with great food.

This place is amazing, especially for bachelorette's and birthday's. They brought out drinks for our friends who were celebrating a bday and a bachelorette and played music for them and let them bang the gong with a drum! The server was super friendly, gave us passes to skip the line at nearby clubs and when the kitchen messed up an order of sushi rolls, they gave us the messed up one for free and brought out the correct one super quickly. 10/10 service, and really good food and prices!

We went to Mesu for my birthday dinner and had the best experience. Our waitress Madison was so kind and really made me feel special on my birthday! The food was incredible (we got tacos AND sushi, the perfect combination in my opinion) and so were the drinks (the Ranch Water? 10/10). We just had the best service and the best experience at Mesu. We will be back!

I'm truly disappointed to report that our celebratory dinner at Mesu, intended as a special occasion for my wife's birthday, was tarnished by the surprisingly inhospitable conduct from the management. Despite spending over $500 on what was undeniably delicious food—encompassing appetizers, a variety of dishes, drinks, and desserts—the evening was overshadowed by an unexpected and rather rude interaction as we finished our dessert.Without any prior indication on our reservation, the manager approached us, informing us that our table was reserved for only one hour and fifteen minutes, a policy that was neither mentioned at the time of booking nor at any point during our meal. He bluntly told us we had overstayed, with people waiting for our table. This abrupt announcement was both shocking and demeaning, especially considering the nature of our visit and the considerable amount we had spent.When I confronted him to express our displeasure, noting the absence of any such time restrictions stated during the booking process and the absurdity of enforcing such a limit on a $500 meal, his response was dismissively matter-of-fact. His lack of empathy and unwillingness to accommodate a peaceful resolution to the situation only further dampened what should have been a joyous celebration.His parting words, upon hearing we wouldn't be returning, were a nonchalant "that's fine." It was clear that customer satisfaction was not on the agenda at [Restaurant Name]. It’s regrettable that the manager's behavior starkly contrasted with the quality of the food and the otherwise pleasant ambiance of the establishment.For those looking for a restaurant where the experience matches the quality of the menu and where guests are treated with the respect they deserve, especially when celebrating a special occasion, I suggest looking elsewhere. We certainly expected more from Mesu.

The food is great - the management is horrible. We went for a birthday dinner with a party of 6. At 1 hour and 30 minutes we were asked to leave, because we had been there longer than 1 hour and 15 min. Nowhere on the reservation or the website does it state a time limit on the table. We ordered several appetizers, multiple rounds of drinks, 6 meals, and 2 desserts. Our total bill was over $500 and we were asked to leave. After talking to the manager, he was indifferent about there not being a posted time limit. We were a quiet, easy table, spending quite a bit of money. We will absolutely not be back, and would have picked a different place to enjoy a birthday dinner with friends had we known. When we said “we will not be coming back” he simply said “that’s fine”.

This was the BEST food I’ve had in a while. I’m not easy to impress when it comes to my food. I LOVE GOOD, flavorful, hot food. I would have never thought to eat tacos with sushi but it was so good. I had the barbacoa tacos with the Tsumani sushi roll. If I wouldn’t have had both, I definitely would’ve had more than one taco. The FLAVORS!! My Lord. This place was a whole vibe. My friend and I got a little dressed up since we were visiting the area. Allie, our server, provided great service. She was polite, attentive and her suggestions were spot on. Not to mention the drinks ? sealed the deal. Great experience! I will definitely be back in the fall.

Delicious sushi and queso and chips! The chips had seasoning salt which made it so yummy! ? We got the Tusunami & Lobster Rangoon Rolls. It was a LOT of food! And honestly they were excellent together! They complimented each other really well! Happy hour was awesome! $2.00 of everything on the menu! Definitely satisfied that craving for Mexican and sushi! It was just what we both wanted.
