“The love and good food and love of good friends are two of the simplest yet greatest pleasures in life.”

Wow! This was quite an experience for Cecile and I and our good friends, Nelson and Susie Bye. Mizu, has a modern and sleek interior and lively atmosphere and boasts being one of the most popular and highly rated Asian fusion restaurants in San Jose. It is known for its' inspired fusion of Japanese and Korean flavors that uses the highest fresh ingredients served in an elegant and comfortable setting.
The word Mizu, means water, a vital life source and key element of Feng Shui, the ancient art of balancing environmental energies to improve health and good fortune.
We ordered Edamame for the table, lightly salted boiled green soy beans with sesame oil. Nelson and I shared a large bottle of Sapporo beer and hot sake. The main entrees we enjoyed immensely were Chicken Katsu: panko breaded & deep-fried chicken; Chicken Bulgogi: grilled marinated chicken over sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers & onions, bell peppers & onions and served on a sizzling plate topped with green onions and sesame seeds. All entrees were served with steamed rice, miso soup, silken tofu, miso paste, hon-dash and green onions. Mizu has a generous kids menu, outdoor parking and excellent, friendly service. I can’t wait to try some of their other dishes.
For dessert, we went on the cheap: Soft serve ice cream and a Blizzard at Dairy Queen, our guilty pleasure.
