Sushi Near Bel Air in a White-Oak Dining Room
Bel Air guests crossing the Sepulveda Pass arrive at a Japanese restaurant whose atmosphere begins with its materials. Mizumi's Encino interior brings white oak, beige stone-toned surfaces and dark polished concrete together around sushi, omakase and dinner service.
North Through the Sepulveda Pass
Reaching Mizumi from Bel Air means moving north across the mountains into the San Fernando Valley. I-405 and Sepulveda Boulevard both travel through the pass; conditions at departure should determine which route reaches Encino more efficiently.
After the crossing, navigation continues toward 17047 Ventura Boulevard. The live directions module below can handle the final approach, allowing the reservation time—not a fixed estimate—to guide departure.
Natural Materials Set the Tone
White oak moves across the ceiling, continues along the walls and returns at the sushi bar, visually connecting separate parts of the room. Its grain introduces warmth without relying on heavy decoration.
Beige Dekton counters sit between the pale wood and polished dark-gray concrete underfoot. The restrained combination keeps the environment calm and gives plated food, glassware and movement in the room their own visual space.
More Than One Way to Sit Down
Mizumi's 61-seat interior is not limited to the sushi bar. Ten counter positions are joined by two- and four-person tables, allowing the room to support different party sizes without changing its overall intimacy.
Two U-shaped booths are designed for groups of six. Bel Air guests who prefer a booth can add that detail to the reservation, but the limited number means the restaurant may need to assign another suitable table.
Inside the Mizumi Dining Room
- White-oak continuity: Ceiling, walls and sushi bar use the same wood language to tie the room together.

- A complete seating plan: Counter places, small tables and U-shaped booths share one 61-seat interior.
