What diners say — our read

Reviews here split hard: 15 five-star against 3 one-star, with little in between. Where service comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.0, so it reads as a strength.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (15 reviews). Newer reviews score better than older ones (4.3 recent against 3.7 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average. One subject never comes up here: plate size.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (81/100), citing 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 8 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on March 23, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 16% of the Osceola County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include food & equipment thermometers provided and accurate and cross-contamination.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    This place was great, way better than Kobe and Benihana. The value for what you get is impressive. The show our chef put on was the best i have had. He was funny, interactive, and made us all feel welcome. They also have buy bogo beer, wine and sake. I only wish I lived closer.

    It’s always an experience when we come to Mizu! We come all the way from Canada just for Fujiama, and Kelvin our favourite Hibachi chef who always remembers us! The food is amazing and service with a smile!

    The food was absolutely disgusting and overpriced. I had hibachi shrimp that came with salad and miso soup. The best thing I had was the miso soup. An 11 dollar tip was also added to the bill for just me and my mom. That’s outrageous for 2 people.

    Mizu is just great. In my opinion better than Kobe's or Benihanas. This location in Kissimmee never disappoints.

    I went for my birthday celebration. I had a great experience overall. I will definitely be back to this establishment that I didn't know existed.

    Went out with my sister for lunch and the food was good but our server was so rude. He was very upset that my baby accidentally spilled some soup on the ground and I was embarrassed and cleaned the table off myself with my own wipes. He saw the incident and didn’t offer any napkins or anything. And then proceeded to give us attitude. I worked in food service myself before so i understand sometimes it’s frustrating to clean up but it was an honest mistake and I made sure to clean most of it myself. We left quickly after paying for the meal, as we felt that we were not welcomed.
