Studio City Sushi Nights, Reimagined at Mizumi
Planning a Japanese dinner beyond your usual Studio City favorites? Follow Ventura Boulevard west to Mizumi Sushi in Encino, where an intimate dining room sets the stage for an unhurried evening of nigiri, shareable plates and chef-directed omakase. The destination is 17047 Ventura Boulevard, with reservations available online or by phone.
Make Mizumi Part of Your Next Night Out
A change of neighborhood can make dinner feel like an occasion. Mizumi gives guests traveling from Studio City a composed, ingredient-focused setting in another part of the Valley, reached by continuing west along Ventura Boulevard into Encino.
Begin with something cool or warm for the table, add individual pieces from the sushi bar, then continue with a hand roll, composed entrée or dessert. The format works equally well for guests who enjoy sharing and for diners who prefer to choose every bite themselves.
Choose Every Course or Let the Chef Decide
One visit might be entirely à la carte: compare cuts of sashimi, select favorite nigiri and finish with a roll. Another evening may call for omakase, allowing Chef Leo to shape the meal around the seafood and specialty ingredients available that day.
These two paths offer different kinds of discovery. The full menu gives you control and variety, while omakase creates a sequence with its own rhythm. Mention your preference when booking if the sushi bar is important to your experience.
Four Weekly Arrivals from Japan
Mizumi receives fish flown from Japan four days each week. Those frequent arrivals allow the kitchen and sushi bar to respond to what is in season rather than forcing every visit into the same fixed experience.
Fresh wasabi, uni, caviar, truffle and carefully chosen soy sauces may join the seafood when they improve a preparation. They are accents, not distractions; the central question is always whether each element makes the next bite more expressive.
What Studio City Diners Will Find at Mizumi
- Freedom at the table: Compose your own meal from the dinner menu or hand the decisions to Chef Leo through omakase.
- A responsive fish program: Four weekly shipments from Japan help keep the seafood selection connected to season and availability.
- An Encino destination: Continue west from Studio City on Ventura Boulevard and settle into a quieter, intimate dining room.
- Easy advance planning: OpenTable and telephone booking make it simple to arrange dinner before leaving Studio City.
