Mizu Omakase Sushi

What is Mizu Omakase Sushi? Located inside a commercial dining plaza on Midland Avenue north of McNicoll in Scarborough, Mizu Omakase Sushi offers an intimate, chef-guided Edomae sushi experience. Led by Chef Kevin Li, the restaurant eschews typical à la carte sushi dining in favor of structured, multi-course tasting menus served directly across a sleek blonde-wood sushi counter. Seating is strictly limited to small seatings per service, allowing diners to observe the precise knife work and seasoning techniques of the chefs.

Mizu Omakase Sushi Menu & What to Order The dining room operates exclusively on seasonal omakase tasting menus for lunch ($65) and dinner ($108). Seafood is flown in regularly from Japanese fish markets, with courses adapting to the season—spotlighting sweet shellfish like lobster and king crab in summer, and rich, fatty fish in the colder months. Highlights from recent services include pristine Otoro Nigiri with Caviar, flame-kissed Torched Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper), delicate Shima Aji, and briny Hokkaido Sea Urchin (Uni). Creative courses, such as seared A5 Wagyu beef and delicate foie gras nigiri, showcase modern flair alongside classical Edomae craftsmanship.

Know Before You Go Reservations must be booked in advance through their online system or by phone, as walk-in counter space is rarely available. Plan for a 90-minute dining experience where every guest is served simultaneously. Mizu is closed on Mondays and opens only for dinner service on Tuesdays. Free plaza parking is readily available in the lot surrounding the commercial complex on Midland Avenue.
