Our next stop on the Saint Louis Sushi Roll tour took us to Mizu in downtown Saint Louis. We arrived a few minutes after opening, and
were seated immediately. The staff was
very friendly. We immediately ordered and
were promptly served hot green tea.
We chose the following items:
- Miso
soup
- Edamame
- Spider
Roll—Softshell crab, Masago, Avocado, Crab Meat
- Las
Vegas Roll—Shrimp Tempura and Crab Meat topped with Eel and Avocado with
Special Sauce
- Rainbow
Roll – California roll topped
with tuna, salmon, whitefish and Avocado
The miso soup was good, containing a bit of tofu and spinach
as well as a piece of fried wanton, which made for a nice touch. It was served at the perfect temperature.
The edamame was tough—a bit hard to eat and very hot.
The spider roll was tasty, and probably the best roll we ordered. The rainbow roll was disappointing. The fish was bland—there were no distinctive
flavors among the tuna, salmon or whitefish.
And there was very little eel in the Las
Vegas roll, much less than one would expect on a roll
that claims it as one of the key items in it.
Overall, on a scale of 1-10, we rate Mizu a 6.5. While the service was great, the taste of the
rolls left much to be desired.
