About Mizu

Tucked beside Prahran railway station, this neighborhood izakaya delivers honest Japanese comfort without pretension or inflated tabs. Local regulars return for the steady, unhurried hospitality and kitchen staples that skip flashy presentation in favor of depth—think bubbling bowls of tan tan men, crisp gyoza, and grilled salmon sushi. Young families dine stress-free thanks to staff who preemptively set out toddler-sized cutlery and cups. Pull up a chair for a piping hot chashu ramen washed down with a cold Echigo lager.

  • Unpretentious Comfort Staples: Classic sushi platters, ramen, and comfort dishes served at neighborhood-friendly prices without complicated gimmicks.
  • Thoughtful Family Hospitality: Staff proactively offer high chairs, plastic cups, and children's tableware without parents needing to ask.
  • Convenient Station-Side Stop: Situated steps from Prahran station on the quiet end of Greville Street, ideal for a solo bowl of noodles.

    Families dining out with toddlers are warmly welcomed by staff who bring out high chairs, child-friendly cups, and utensils without needing to be asked.

    as we always come with two young kids its nice to see they always bring high chair and plastic cup and cutlery for the little ones.

    The team goes beyond standard table service to make young families feel at ease, warmly interacting with children and setting up dining essentials right away.

    Staff were friendly and without any prompting provided kids utensils, bowl and cup for our 3 year old and interacted really well with her.
