Local seafood & Asian flavours at Mizu
Step into Mizu, a stylish restaurant & bar where every dish takes you on a culinary journey. The skilled sushi chefs at Mizu take pride in preparing innovative rolls alongside more traditional Japanese sushi options. It’s a culinary fusion that elevates your tastes and makes it possible for you to try the freshest, and sometimes most unusual, local ingredients. Each visit becomes a memorable food adventure.
Boasting an array of delectable bites on the menu, it’s often hard to choose. Start your culinary journey with a delectable appetizer like the thai style calamari, a burst of Thai-inspired flavour that prepares your tastebuds for what’s to come. If you’re craving crunch, the crispy spring rolls & prawn wraps (even better than tempura shrimp) are both textural delights. Stuffed with vegetables and rice noodles, these golden rolls are served with a sweet chili dipping sauce, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. Dumplings are the ideal way to start an Asian meal & with Mizu’s impressive dim sum tower, you certainly won’t be disappointed.
Move on to a classic like the teriyaki chicken, wok fried with fresh broccoli, carrots & onions or try something new. The massaman lamb curry is tender & wholesome, a perfect comfort food entree. Carnivores are also big fans of the Mongolian beef served with broccoli, red peppers & onion, topped to perfection with scallions & sesame seeds. Savour these dishes with a delicious glass of the house red. There’s known favorites like California maki, but for something unusual, order the shiitake maki with flavorfully marinated mushrooms. If you’ve never tried nigiri, Mizu is the place to order it for the first time. Try traditional Japanese nigiri like the inari made with sweet & salty tofu or the much-adored tamago nigiri with Japanese egg. No Asian meal is complete without fried rice and Mizu’s is fluffy, crispy, & addicting, with the perfect smokey hint from a robata style of cooking. If you’re still craving Thai flavours with your entrees, the Pad Thai is chewy, savoury & plentiful. Stir-fried rice noodles are topped with a generous dash of peanuts and scallions.
Some of the best seafood in the Cayman Islands is prepared with care at Mizu. Savour Japanese hamachi handrolls before diving into the coconut scallops & prawns. There’s a bountiful variety of sashimi available and the seafood ramen is otherworldly. Another favorite entree is the teriyaki salmon with its sweet & tangy sauce. For avid meat-eaters, Mizu offers its famous beef tenderloin or classic options like penang chicken. A best restaurant for vegetarians, Mizu’s menu has plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. From fresh salads to cucumber maki, to the miso vegetarian ramen, there’s a dish for every palate.

The outdoor teppanyaki dining at Mizu is the first of its kind in the Cayman Islands, a special experience loved by visitors & locals alike. It’s offered after 4pm & has limited seating so it is important to book in advance. Let the flavours of Japanese robata take you on a journey complimented by waterfront views and amazing drinks. There is no other culinary event like it in the Cayman Islands. The Korean BBQ special is Korea’s version of robata and also only available at Mizu. Experience traditionally barbecuing your choice of succulent shrimp, ribeye, pork belly or fresh shitake mushrooms while enjoying delicious Korean accompaniments. Something that is certainly out of the ordinary at Mizu is their happy hour. From 4-6pm indulge in one of the Cayman Islands’ best happy hours. Enjoy delightfully refreshing sake cocktails & handcrafted bite-sized treasures like crispy pork belly bao, shrimp tempura & the torched salmon roll. Feel free to order an assortment of items from the dinner menu while enjoying your happy hour drinks. The dynamite roll with tempura shrimp, avocado & cucumber is rolled in tobiko to give the maki that savoury pop that goes so well with cocktails. Or, order the beef tenderloin to share (if you can) as this is a buttery filet served with heaps of fried rice, an entree you won’t want to miss, even if you’re just stopping by for drinks & lite bites. Sit at the beautifully designed bar or outside at dusk watching boats set off from the Camana Bay docks. There are also fabulous house wines to enjoy! If you’re looking for a happy hour that offers more than just a basic drink, this is certainly it.
