About

Tucked along the Mission Bay waterfront at 850 W Mission Bay Dr in 92109, Mizu is a Japanese and Korean restaurant that has been a neighborhood fixture steps from Belmont Park and the Bahia Resort. The kitchen serves both Japanese and Korean dishes, including a full sushi bar with creative rolls like the Cali Beach Roll and the Sol Mission Beach Roll, alongside Korean-style sashimi courses and short ribs. Reviewers frequently praise the generous portions and affordable pricing — a dinner for two with sushi, udon, drinks, and appetizers often totals under sixty dollars, a rarity for waterfront dining in Pacific Beach. Other beachfront dining options nearby include Oceana Coastal Kitchen at the Catamaran Resort, offering a complementary coastal menu with cocktails and live music. The restaurant also serves teriyaki plates, tempura, udon soups, and poke bowls. Mizu keeps consistent hours from noon to 9:30 p.m. daily, serving both lunch and dinner with dine-in, takeout, and delivery available. The restaurant occupies a modest storefront at the corner of Mission Bay Drive and Bayside Lane, with parking available in the adjacent Mission Beach lot. Despite the building's unassuming exterior, the interior maintains a cozy atmosphere with attentive table service. Guests exploring the Mission Bay side of Pacific Beach can also grab a drink at Draft South Mission for craft beers and a sports bar atmosphere. Google reviews across more than 830 ratings hold steady at 4.4 stars, and a curated selection of beer, wine, and sake accompanies the food menu.
