Mizumi

Four stars for experience. Three stars for the food. Five stars for being very accommodating to my gluten issues.
We were a group of six and sat at one of the teppanyaki tables. Ordered a bunch of sushi and edamame to start. The fish was good, especially the maguro, but it wasn’t mind blowing.
Then we had the teppanyaki. The show was fine (about as good as a Benihana show) and the food was above average (I had the sirloin and opakapaka (fish of the day)). The sheer volume of food was off the charts. It just kept coming and coming and coming. The mochi ice cream dessert was spectacular. The mochi was nice and warm and the fruity ice creams went very well with it.
Overall, it’s a nice place for a big group.

Absolutely world class sushi. You won’t find better sushi anywhere on Earth. The best in terms of quality and preparation.
However, be advised: If you don’t like sushi, there’s not a lot for you here!
A specialty cocktail called the Blue Mizumi was really great.
Also: the music really doesn’t fit the atmosphere at all. They need to be playing something sophisticated, to fit the high price tag and the elegant restaurant. The rock and roll really did detract from our meal, and it brought the experience down a full star.
Improve the music choices, and then we’ll be back!

Expensive for what it is.
Sushi was just OK. Nothing mind-​blowing happened here. In fact, one $ 40 roll, of surf and turf, was just not right. Something about it being both hot and cold, and turning it all just warm– not a good taste for sushi.
Décor and ambiance was excellent and the wine list was excellent. Our service was good, but not very attentive.
Overall, I wouldn’t come back.

This is super fancy pants Vegas dining, and what you’d expect from the Wynn. It’s an absolutely beautiful, dramatic space, lavishly decorated and the tables near the waterfall view would be perfect for a date.
We ordered several dishes for the table, but nothing knocked my socks off. A friend and I are on a budget so we got a few Philadelphia rolls (don’t judge) and at the price, the amount of salmon was pretty sad and it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had. Nothing was the best I’ve had, especially for the price, and we ordered several robata plates as well as specialty rolls.
The servers weren’t very nice to us, even with as much as we were ordering, and I thought it was strange that there was no music playing at all. The restaurant was mostly empty and very, very quiet and dead. A few friends and I left to grab sandwiches at the café because we were still hungry and didn’t want to drop another $ 15 on mostly rice.
I’ve never been very impressed with high-​end Vegas sushi restaurants. This restaurant is gorgeous, I’ll give it that, but that’s about it.

Excellent service, the food was delicious and the ambiance is amazing. Beautiful experience, thank you for making my boyfriend’s birthday so memorable.

This is probably the best place I’ve ever been to. Good portion is just right and the staff was amazing. Hands down, the best service I’ve experienced during my stay here in Vegas (my first time being here). Stacy was our server and was AMAZING! She was super helpful and very patient. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has this amazing view of a man made waterfall. I will definitely come back!

This is a great place to celebrate a birthday, engagement, anniversary, the sun rising, the sun setting… you name it. Rarely do my girlfriends and I dine at any restaurant twice in Vegas, because there are just SO many dining options. Mizumi is the exception!
We ordered a bunch of sushi rolls, beef entrees, vegan entrees, four desserts, bottled water and hot tea. I don’t drink alcohol, but the bill came to over $ 350 for the three of us. If you don’t want to shell out that kind of money, then at least try the Geisha mask dessert. It is life changing.
Will we do it again? Absolutely, because not only were we paying for the food, but also the ambiance and the impeccable service.

We normally stay at Encore and while we didn’t on our last trip, we made an evening of it at the Wynn because we had Le Reve tickets. Had pre-​show drinks at Parasol Down, which was an awesome experience as always, and then went to Mizumi for an after-​show snack of sorts. We always wanted to try Mizumi, but was leery because I’ve been disappointed by so many high-​end restaurants in LA where you pay for the view/​ambience/​reputation but not so much for the food. I’m looking at you, Scarpetta.
On to the food… we ordered the robata platter, the Alaskan king crab, pork belly, chicken wings and one other thing which escapes me at the moment. Also ordered a drink… something Ninja. The drink was good, but not a good accompaniment for the meal.
The robata platter… Holy moly. I don’t normally care for sea bass nor beef tenderloin, but both were amazing! And the rest of the robata platter was excellent. The husband, who never eats shishito peppers and doesn’t really care for mushrooms not only ate them both, he raved about them. And the king crab. how wrong can you go with king crab cooked in a butter sauce? Although I do have to say that for $ 35, I’m not sure if I’ll order it again, as it wasn’t even a full leg. It was a piece about…4−5 inches long. Yes, the crab and the mushrooms that accompanied it were very yummy, but not $ 35 worth of yummy.
The pork belly… oh, the pork belly. It was more Chinese-​style than I expected, as I tasted star anise, which I do not like at all. But it didn’t stop me from eating it, much to the husband’s chagrin. Definitely ordering at least 2 orders of this the next time. Oh, a woman seated at the next next table ordered the udon and she seemed to really enjoy it so that is on our list as well.
We had great seats, and our waiter was great. Wish we could remember his name, but he was funny, knowledgeable and very efficient. Service all around was worthy of a fine dining establishment. Will definitely be eating here again on our next visit.
The final bill, including a ~20% tip, came to $ 150. Yes, pricy for an evening snack of sorts, but worth every penny. I won’t dock a star because of the price, because apart from the king crab leg, every bite was oh-​so-​worth the price. And combined with the ambiance, the view and the service, Mizumi is worth it.

We got in without a reservation as we were waiting for Le Reve to start. The setting is quite beautiful overlooking some fountains and lush garden. The service is exceptional! I had the Octopus Salad and my daughter had the Jidori Chicken and Black Truffle Teriyaki. For $ 35 a plate, the food was good but not amazing. To their defense, pricing is comparable anywhere on the strip. I had better Japanese food in SF!

Great food and nice room. If CAD was a bit stronger I would also say good value but at 1.40,it’s a bit pricey for Canadians especially if you’re from Vancouver where we’re spoiled with an abundance of great Japanese restaurants

First thoughts… The staff here is great. They definitely exemplify the meaning of service with a smile.
Lucky me I got in early and was seated next to the water. The glass wall was up because its december, but the view into their waterfall was amazing.
Right away when I looked at the menu I knew what to get… the Chef’s Omakase menu. 6 courses featuring Mizumi’s specialties. I supplemented for the Kobe beef and was not disappointed. I also decided on the Bamboo snow sake. A very good and not too sweet unflitered sake.
Course 1 — scallops
Course 2 — trio plate. Oyster/​beef tataki/​frog legs
Course 3 — mini seafood hot pot
Course 4 — kobe beef hot plate
Course 5 — sushi/​sashimi
Course 6 — sorbet and cake
Evrything was excellent and cooked perfectly, especially the kobe beef. Since i cooked it myself on a hot stone.
Scallops had a perfect sear on the outside and a delicate smooth finish.
The oysters with win sauce… just amazing. The beef was tender and offset with crispy onions makes my mouth water when I think about it. And the frog legs… Oh my. The most delicate and delicious frog I’ve ever had. Lightly battered and fried.
The mini seafood hot pot with sea bass, king crab, sea scallop, shrimp and onions with noodles. Balanced with a ponzu dipping sauce. Honestly it didnt need a dipping sauce. Its light and refreshing seafood in a mild broth was enough on its own.
Now… The Kobe beef, with all the marbling you would expect. Lightly sear on a stone and dip into 3 of the sauces if desired. Such a succulent piece of beef that over cooking should be a crime.
The sushi was very fresh. I don’t think the wasabi was ground fresh, but I dont use much anyway. Uni. I dont know how many times i have gotten bad uni. This was not one of those times.
To finish, some sorbet and the fluffiest cake ever with little crumbles of goodness in the bottom.
I highly recommed dinning here. From the staff to the food, its worth the experience.
I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from here

I just had an amazing dinner today at Mizumi!
We ordered Lobster and beef teppan.
The teppan was amazing and delicious!
The chef was nice and he showed some show for us as well haha
It is expensive but it’s worth it.
Defenitely be back when I come back to vegas again.

Don’t come here for a budget conscious meal. If you can splurge, the food is top notch.
Five of us shared a sushi platter for four, snow beef ($ 100 for 5 tiny but heavenly slices), the Robata platter, and a few rolls.
The sushi was extremly clean and fresh. The Uni was amazing… Two days later I am still craving that meal.

It’s a great restaurant if you’re looking for a special night out — but I wasn’t impressed with their miso soup which seems like a pretty basic dish to prepare. And I think their sushi is overpriced for the proportions. They charge about twice what ANY other sushi place I’ve been to charges. It’s delicious and great quality seafood, but I don’t think I’d go there again.
If you’re not worried about price, then definitely go there. They were able to accommodate our party of 12, although I do recall we had to go grab the waiter at least once so we could order our food. Also, keep in mind they do have a dress code and no children under a certain age are allowed (5 maybe?).

I don’t need to tell anyone reading this that this place as AMAZING SUSHI! But I will! It meets the expectation for quality fish and ingredients and 5 star staff but let’s be real it’s in the Wynn and if this place disappointed the Wynn would certainly shut down! But it did not disappoint and all though it was THE most expensive sushi experience ever it was worth it! Can I mention also that this place is 1 of 5 places in the US to offer authentic Kobe Beef? If you have never tasted the real deal you MUST! The Kobe beef here sits at the top AS the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten!

Mizumi is a pretty posh spot with some interesting drinks and delicious food. This place is a Japanese joint with a bit of a modern twist. Common sushi and delicious sashimi can be had here but the beef and lobster are absolutely delicious! The ambiance and décor are both modern, eclectic and amazing. Now, I would highly recommended finishing off your meal with dessert as they have this cute little dessert dish with a geisha mask made of white chocolate oh and try to wash the whole thing down with one of their alcoholic punchbowls, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Highly recommended.

Long residing on a fine dining ‘to-​do’ list that never seems to shorten in a city where change is far more common than a truly classic space it was finally on Friday evening that myself and two friends sat down to dinner at Devin Hashimoto’s Mizumi within the Wynn, the former chef at Michelin 2* Alex serving up modern Japanese cuisine as exquisite in execution as it is high in price.
No doubt one of the best rooms in Las Vegas, a waterfall view in the main room sure to wow both tourists and locals alike, it was just after the restaurant’s 5:30 opening that all were seated in plush chairs gathered around a spacious marble four-​top, the menu presented and perused as forgivingly light EDM pulsed overhead.
Greeted by the Chef who graciously agreed to cook for the table it was with hot green tea charged at $ 15 with unlimited refills that the evening commenced, one member of the table instead opting for a modestly priced sake that reportedly proved to be a bargain given the quality as a lightly battered scallop crowned in briny caviar spoke to high quality sourcing and plating intended to impress.
Served in five courses in a time-​span just over two hours and a half, the first round saw the kitchen focus on raw presentations including a half-​dozen oysters enlivened by fresh wasabi alongside strips of paper-​thin beef as well as an ambitious tofu salad, each bite of the later showing a complex interplay of textures as well as flavors while melt-​in-​your-​mouth Angus found balance in ponzu and cabbage aged to ferment.
Requesting the kitchen ‘go easy’ on sushi, but clearly ignoring such constraints when allowed to offer at their whim, course two saw Devin send out a large sampling of items flown in daily, the tender toro taken from just below the collar perhaps the best piece of tuna to ever grace my palate while the clam and its warmed extras were nearly as thrilling and tender, the snappy pink snapper another memorable bite.
Onward to warm items, all three menu mainstays with slight variance in the accoutrements depending on what is most fresh, suffice it to say that $ 40 for a small pot of egg custard seems expensive no matter how exotic the ingredients while both the unctuous duck liver and lightly grilled octopus competed to steal the spotlight from one another, the autumnal notes of the former no less lovely despite the warm weather while the bitter grapefruit gracing the latter dazzled in juxtaposition to fennel and garlic fried crisp.
Light on the stomach, as Japanese cuisine often seems to trend, a hot-​pot was presented as the night’s final savory, the admixture of seabass and shellfish all cooked to a semi-​firm texture above still-​burning flames as the mushrooms, vegetables, and springy noodles all lent textural variance to a broth that was crystal clear but umami rich.
Truly a restaurant worthy its accolades, though the pre-​tip bill trumped $ 350 even with few items offered as gifts, it was with Devin standing tableside discussing Las Vegas dining in general that the meal would end, a trio of molecular-​influenced ‘sundaes’ each memorable in their own way while an additional request for cubed honey-​toast riffing on a parfait or bread pudding was absolutely outstanding beneath fresh peach jam and brown butter ice cream, the «Mizumi Chocolate Mask» a destination sort of signature as beautiful as it was enjoyable to eat.

This is Fine Dining. We had an early dinner so the place was quiet which made it more mysterious and romantic. We scored the best location in the house, next to the koi pond filled with rocks, foliage, and a cascading waterfall. Our server was a great at recommending dishes to us. We took most of her suggestions.
Mizumi Mixed Green Salad
Included daikons, carrots, and wafu dressing — Refreshing starter
Seared Foie Gras
Small qty but big in flavor. It was combined with other stuff to compliment the rich texture. — Excellent
Scallop Tataki and Crispy Shrimp Roll — It was good but it had so much stuff in there that the taste of scallop was overwhelmed. Fresh scallops have a subtle sweetness, I think it needs to be eaten by itself without other competing flavors.

I ate dinner here for the first time tonight and really enjoyed my meal. Even though I stay at the Encore/​Wynn frequently, I had never been to Mizumi. I am glad I finally tried it.
Mizumi is a modern Japanese restaurant located right by the lake at the Wynn. The setting is beautiful — just be sure to sit facing the lake and waterfall to enjoy the best view.
The restaurant has a wide range of Japanese options ranging from sushi and sushimi, to Robatayaki and Teppanyaki. I focused on sushi and Robatayaki.
I started things off with Robatayaki Jidori chicken, sea bass, and beef tenderloin. All of the proteins were delicious! The coals used for cooking lend a unique flavor to the food and each was cooked perfectly.
I then ordered one of their signature rolls based upon my server’s recommendation. The Scallop Tataki and Crispy Shrimp Roll is seared Hokkaido scallops, crunchy shrimp, avocado, onion sprouts, jalapeño, yuzu tobiko, citrus aïoli, and eel sauce. The texture and flavor were amazing!
Overall, the food was delicious and well prepared. The setting was excellent and the service was good. I will definitely be back!
Iced Tea Rating — 4 stars. Delicious tea with lots of refills. PS it’s the same tea served throughout the Wynn/​Encore resorts.

It’s too bad that their full menu doesn’t seem to be on their website, because I’ll have to try and remember everything that our party ordered this past weekend. Everything was so delicious, and probably twice as delicious sitting in such a beautiful restaurant. It’s too bad that we came on a cold evening, because I think they usually open up the glass doors to the waterfall. Next time we come, and there will definitely be a next time, I’m aiming for one of their patio tables right next to the waterfall!
Let’s see if I can recall everything that was served. One of our friends pretty much ordered everything for our group…
Abalone Sashimi: This was the one item that was a must-​have for me. I’ve never tried raw abalone, and I was stoked that they carried it. The texture was so new to me – it was crunchy! Small portion but worth the new experience.
Yellowtail Sashimi w/​jalapeño gelée, crispy onion, micro cilantro, ponzu, nori cracker: This dish was divine; we had to order two. The yellowtail was SO fresh and each component of the dish was a burst of flavor that complimented the protein well.
Fried Shrimp w/​brussel sprouts: Tasty dish, though not my top choice as I’m not a the biggest fan of fried seafood. At least it wasn’t a heavy batter.
Mizumi Roll & Scallop Tataki Rolls: I usually don’t order rolls at high-​end Japanese restaurant, though these were tasty and decadent, and great to share in a larger group.
Trio of Tartare: This was a special menu item, consisting of tuna, salmon, and kanpachi. Each tartare was incredibly flavorful and fresh.
Squid Ink Risotto: I’ve had squid ink sushi before, but it wasn’t this fresh. Great choice, especially if you’re feeling adventurous.
Other items we ordered (that I can remember) were seabass skewers and a miso-​glazed seabass. The seabass skewers were like butter. Unfortunately, I was too full to try to miso-​glazed seabass. Desserts were presented beautifully, but again, I had no room that those, either.
This is such a fun place to dine in Vegas. They have a room in the back for Robatayaki, as well as a sushi bar, but I definitely have my eye on the patio for our next visit!
