Mizu Noodle Bar in Ipswich

Came here for lunch, first time here for many years but it is much better then I remembered. Very nice food and very big portions and great service.

Delicious food, amazing portion sides, friendly attentive staff even when packed and run off feet with take away orders, definitely be back, this will become a regular dinner spot as soooo many meals to try

The menu has changed. Sadly, it is not as good as before covid. Too oily, limited selection, and it is just not the same as in 2013!! The menu then was appetising, but now, I don't even fancy any dishes. Regret having a meal in today.

A very chilled experience. Not over the top, down to earth, great for kids tasty and well priced . The menu is not exhausting has enough to offer.

Lovely food and great size of food get money worth

One of my favourite spots in Ipswich

Very average place and food. Massive portions, competitive prices but wasn’t impressed with a taste.

Mizu is my new favorite spot for catching up with friends! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the pleasant atmosphere. The staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable, even sharing a brief laugh about our chopstick skills. Now, onto the food – the Mizu combo noodles were absolutely delicious! They easily surpassed Wagamama for me, and the best part? They're much more budget-friendly too! Mizu has definitely earned a top spot on my list of go-to eateries. Looking forward to returning for more tasty meals!

Quite expensive for the food served. Some.of the staff could hone up on customer service

Lovely little gem, a little hidden at the side of the corn exchange. Yummy compact menu with good children's choice. Took two children who demolished their noodles, and they are hard to please. I had vegetable satay noodles and they were very tasty. More than enough to fill you up. In our opinion nicer than wagamamas but less choice although came in cheaper. Worth a try and we think you'll be surprised!

Overall enjoyed it here and would go back. Food portion sizes are big which is very good for the money. The food was tasty and came very quick. The vermicelli noodles could have done with more spice but tasty. The only thing is I found, sitting on a bench and next to other people is a boy strange we had a guy who kept leaning back and actually moving the whole bench when you were sitting on it! And everytime someone moves your being jigged about. But I would say that's the main negative. Staff are quick and friendly.

This has really gone downhill recently. I’ve eaten in once and had takeaway twice in the past 6 months. It’s not what it used to be. Meat feels chewy, food is flavourless and bland and just really lacking. I won’t be using again based on these experiences. £50 wasted tonight on below average food.

Normally a really nice place to eat, we stopped for food yesterday the meats tasted really chewy and stringy with no taste but a rubbery texture like the satay chicken on skewer, couldn’t enjoy it, the meals came out within 5/10 minutes which was strange, didn’t seem like it was freshly cooked considering I had kung po chicken with egg fried (rice), the food was very over priced and all pre cooked, never received a mint at the end of the bill which was such a shame, little things go along way and with this experience made us not want to go here again!

Takeaway service was the worst I have ever experienced. Waited an hour so called to check it was on its way. 'woman' I spoke to argued with everything I said. I only called to see if our food was coming soon! When the order finally arrived, it was very tasty. Can't complain about that. But the awful telephone conversation put a damper on the experience.

Love this place! Popped over from London and came across this gem. Gorgeous food, very friendly service and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

It's ok. The food is tasty enough but isn't going to blow your socks off it is however priced very well. Staff are friendly but the atmosphere is very cold.

Aways amazing food, freshly cooked, tasty and good portion size.

I absolutely adore this restaurant, I’ve never found another noodle bar that serves sesame chicken like this one does and I make sure to visit every time I’m in Ipswich, it’s worth the journey from Norwich just to come here!

Good prices for good meals. Very quick service. Only thing that was annoying was that it was not clear what the vegan options were. And why a vegan alternative was more expensive than the vegetarian one. Got told it was glutenfree. Huh? Also, the ingredients listed at some vegan options contained meat, so it was very confusing. Wonder if all waiters know the difference between vegan and glutenfree. Or why should a vegan options be glutenfree and therefore more expensive? I didn't feel I was understood so therefore I took vegetarian options that also seemed vegan... Meals were very good and had good portion, but the communication could be improved.

Food nice but for once not outstanding. Thats unusual for Mizu. Staff and service great. Good to eat where you can hold a conversation without being drowned out by music

Rating for takeaway. Prices rose on some items by pounds eg 12.95 to 16.95, in just a few weeks. Now costs too much for what it is. The food here is good, worth a visit in person in my experience. But too costly for takeaway now.

I would say worth visiting. Food is nice and comes quick if your a bit rushed for time like we were. It was only £42.50 for 2 soft drinks, 2 sides and 2 mains which was plenty between the 2 of us. Would visit again :)

We came to the cinema and had an hour and a half to get food. We managed to get a tabel on arrival (friday night) and was in and out within 40 mins. The food came out pretty much straight after ordering it. The price was very reasonable. We would come again if we were at a loose end

Amazing food, quick delivery, my only complaint is I wanted to swap the curry sauce with satay sauce, and had to pay extra, I have always done this in the past with no extra cost as its just swapping sauces, didn't take any money off when i told them to take the curry sauce off though, because of this I won't returning as a customer

Good meal, I enjoyed and will probably go back soon

We had a pre-football meal at Mizu a couple of weeks ago because we knew it would be speedy, and most importantly the food wouldn’t let us down. Everything was delicious as always, generously portioned and served very promptly. Mizu is just consistently excellent.

Fabulous!!! Super tasty Japanese food. I loved Phad Thai…. Super yumm. Gyoza were amazing too. Katsu curry was okish… curry ramen was super delicious. I’m a fan of food at this place. Staff is humble and polite. Tried Edamame bowl as well.

Mizu has seen a bit of a drop in quality this past year. The noodles in the satay ramen have been changed to thinner noodles which tend to be over cooked and absorb too much sauce. I’ve ordered this 3 times now since the noodles has changed and it has disappointed me each time. However, the other dishes I regularly order are delicious, well priced and generously portioned. The teriyaki tofu is amazing. Impressed by their skills to deep fry silken tofu!

Hands down best noodle bar around! Ironically I didn't have the noodles and had beef in black bean with rice...but honestly sooo good! Go there now! But only if you are happy to eat and go...probably isn't really a restaurant you would go to for a whole night out - but don't let that put you off...eat your noodles and head to the pub to continue your evening ... simples! Oh and get the ribs...you won't be disappointed

I have eaten here before. So I tried a takeaway not expecting it to be as good. It was just as good got lots so had it 2 days in a row and the second day was just as good as the first..keep up the good work.

Hadn’t been here for a while so thought we’d give it a go again. Not impressed unfortunately. The ribs, which I had fond memories of being juicy and tender, were dry and chewy as anything. The main pork and rice dish was quite flavourless and there didn’t seem as much pork in the dish as I remember. Yet another place that seems to have lost its way a tad.

We went with friends to enjoy our evening meal. We have enjoyed many meals here in the past. I’m afraid the food standard has dropped in this instance. The meat was not freshly cooked so all in all very disappointed.

Both times i’ve been the food has been incredible, huge portion sizes and the fastest service in Ipswich!

The food is always incredible and really quick, friendly service. Lovely place to pop into while shopping

Great place to eat, very fast service

Great food. Very reasonabley priced. Super fast and friendly service. Love it.

Overall was good, will go again. Quality is there and good food for speed of service!

Came here for the first time yesterday and i was not disappointed, staff were lovely and helpful we were seated straight away. A large selection to chose from with dishes at very good prices. I got the Yaki Soba and it was the most wonderful dish i’ve ever had, brilliant portion sizes. Staff brought our food out very quickly. A wonderful experience i would recommend going here for a reasonable priced delicious meal. Thank you to all the staff

The service was very friendly. There was no problem finding a place for two at about 5pm on a Friday. Mizu is very convenient if you are going to King Street Cinema. One of us ordered the Phad Thai, which was very good. The other is coeliac so was given a gluten free menu. The menu is ‘free from’, catering for all ‘allergies’, and gives very limited choice. We appreciate the effort to provide a separate menu. However, the GF menu could be much better given the extensive main menu. The special rice on the free from menu was good but a little bland. It would be good to see the main menu adapted (with care) to offer some spicier GF options. And perhaps a GF condiment such as tamari. Though the main menu was very good we won’t return unless there is improvement in the GF menu.

Had a delivery for nine people. This was on time and portions were generous. However, the chicken in my black bean sauce and rice tasted synthetic? Couldn’t eat any more after the first piece. A vegetarian dish was also discarded after 1 mouthful as apparently ‘too ginger’. Nobody really rated their meals unfortunately.

Best noodles in Ipswich. Great price, friendly staff, one of my favourite places to eat.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Mizu, the portions were a great size and everything was delicious. It was also very quick to come out and a good price!

Amazing food but the place was Freezinggg!!!!

Always fresh tasty food politely served. Menu based around rice and noodles.

Ordered food by phone at 11.30am & was told to pick up order at 12.20pm. We had a large order as it was for everyone In my office at work. No incorrect dishes & food was hot & tasty. No complaints from anyone. Well done Mizu we will definitely be returning

Updating to 5* after second visit :) Ordered Gyoza which obviously was our favorite first time, then the Singapore vermicelli, spare ribs & chicken noodles from kids menu. Good food and quick service in a small beautiful setting! We walked in on a Thursday afternoon with just 10-12min before the last order, and were the only ones in the restaurant. Looked like we weren't welcomed 😀 Ordered Chicken Satay, Prawn Curry and chilli chicken Ramen. Got chicken fried Gyoza instead of chicken satay, think there was some confusion. But the Gyoza turned out to be the best dish for us, crunchy with delicious and flavorful stuffing. Chilli chicken ramen was good too, but prawn Curry was bit of a disappointment. Curry was bit overpowered, my Indian taste buds didn't quite like it.

This was one of my favourite restaurants however the quality of food is not what it was. Seems they are buying cheaper ingredients to keep the costs down. Hopefully they will address this and get back on track.

Been here many times, normally great tucker. Menu has changed slightly & some previous dishes now unavailable.. could be cost prohibitive I guess.. anyway I would recommend still but my latest visit was not upto the usual expectations. I'll try again though.. Happy days 😊

Why have you taken belly pork off the menu? I've been eating that dish for 20 years and always looked forward to coming back to Ipswich to have it. Its such a shame!

We've been regular to Mizu over the years. Never disappointed, good size portions and always tasty. A consistent favourite is the Curry Mee soup noodles but can't fault any other dishes either

I loved the curry and vegetables and the dishes looked amazing .

Will never go back here. I've been here several times over the years. The food was always gorgeous, fresh & tasty. The food I've eaten today was none of these things. 1st off I ordered a coke, as soon as it came I could see it wasn't fizzy. Absolutely no bubbles whatsoever. But I had a taste, it was awful. I ended up with a glass of water, as this was the better option. Our food came out very quick, infact way too quick. Myself & my friend both ordered the mixed meat with rice. The meat certainly hadn't just been cooked to order. It was luke warm at best. I asked the waiter if I could have freshly cooked meat. When the 2nd plate arrived it was a bit warmer. But the meat didn't taste right. Its a real shame, as I remember the meat being really nice. The duck was crisp. I'm pretty sure this meat had been frozen & then reheated. I couldn't be bothered to complain again. But I didn't finish my dish. I'm not too sure what has happened, I'm guessing the restaurant has been taken over by new people. But I certainly won't be returning.

We had a pre-cinema meal at Mizu a couple of weeks ago because we knew it would be speedy, and most importantly the food wouldn’t let us down. The Pad Thai was as good as ever, and my wife loved the roast pork rice, one of her favourites. We also had Thai crackers on the side and couldn’t resist some char siu buns, which were new to the menu since our last visit. Everything was delicious, generously portioned and served quickly, as we have come to expect. Mizu is just consistently excellent.

After ordering from this place for over a decade, I know my Misu. I first had a meal there in 2003. Today I ordered and I was shocked it was for pretty poor! What is going on? Change of hands maybe or a new chef or an off night. Time will tell.

It was EPIC by far the BEST Asian restaurant I have come across to date- other than being in Asia itself! Honestly so beyond excited to have somewhere local to really embrace and enjoy their service and food, we ordered a main each and also LOADS of sides because we wanted to try everything! We took the leftovers home, it was ALL absolutely amazing the staff also couldnt do enough to make the experience top notch! Thank you and I shall be a regular! X

We visited with another family before going to the theatre. 2 adults and 4 children. 1 child vegetarian, asked for the vegetable ramen as a child’s portion. Then shown the childrens menu, explained there was no vegetarian option. Again told yes, this is the childrens menu. Asked for a child’s vegetarian option or please could we have the vegetable ramen as a child’s portion. Was told, the computer wouldn’t give the option! She ended up with chicken and sweetcorn ramen without the chicken- no they couldn’t replace with tofu, the computer wouldn’t let them. Had we not been going to the theatre we would not have stayed. Disappointing that their flexibility was non existent. Nor that a child’s vegetarian option was available in the first place. We have visited many times before but unfortunately won’t be visiting again.

We walked in for dinner on a cold windy evening. The team were fantastic. We were shown our seats and served at great speed so we made it to the theatre in time. The crispy duck was very good. The fact that it was quite busy was enough to reassure us that it would be a good place to eat.

I used to go here for a Ramen Soup with pork and a range of toppings. This time around the menu was changed and those options were not available. I ordered a seafood ramen which was not good. Horrible squid - chewy and tasteless. I wish I'd been able to order my old favourite that brought me to this eatery again and again. Disappointed.

We've been coming to Mizu for couple of years now. Unfortunately we're quite boring with our orders. always going for prawns for starter and ramen or Tom yum soup. Portions are always big, veggies fresh and broth making us feel so cosy. I wasnt sure about communal tables at first but it doesn't really take away from experience.

Great find , tucked away in the Cornhill. Great noodle bar. Very extensive menu and food very tasty and flavoursome. Good efficient service, made us feel very welcome. The plates were full. Certainly return when back in Ipswich.

We visited as 2 adults and 3 children. The food choice is great and the food is delightful. I had to slow down my eatting as I didn't want it to end! Staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend.

I love regularly ordering takeaway orders from this lovely place located in Ipswich town centre. I had the delicious chicken curry alongside some tasty egg fried rice. The fire crackers add some great taste! Just wanted to say thanks !

Since my last review of Mizu I have visited this restaurant several times and it is starting to become one of my favourites. This was my first visit post-lockdown as I had been desperate for a mizu trip for many months. Me and my best...

This is, without a doubt, my favourite place to eat. The portion sizes are generous for sure, the prices more than reasonable, the service is incredibly fast, but what stands out above all else is the food. I've never had a bad meal from Mizu...

From start to finish discreet yet spot on social distancing, professional and friendly staff, amazing food, served in good time. Made our family feel totally at ease for our first meal after lockdown. Can’t recommend enough 🥰

I've been visiting this restaurant for over 15 years and it has always been a firm favourite of mine. Over the last couple years I've noticed that the quality isn't quite what it used to be which brings me to my most recent visit. In...

Ordered take away, usually very good. However on this occasion it was the opposite. Beef in one dish had an odd test, like meat was old. The chicken seem to be of very much the same. Off white with bone. And noodles only half flavoured....

Called in today and was actually told off by staff for commenting that we'd waited 30 minutes for our lunch to arrive. I was actually taken aback by the rudest service I have ever had. They were busy apparently! Food was flavourless.

My wife and I had dinner at Mizu before the Ipswich game last night. As usual, food was generously portioned, flavoursome and served very promptly. I had the Mizu mixed noodles, while my wife ordered the roast duck noodles. We also shared some prawn toasts...

I have been going to Mizu for around 10 years. I used to be super fussy so plain noodles for me with no onion which the staff were more than happy to accommodate. I now branch out to more things however me and my mum get mainly the same two dishes each time and share them. I can never fault anything about my food and experience at Mizu. I love it and my favourite dishes are 43V (Veggie Satay Ramen) and 59 (Sesame Chicken). We have recently started ordering our chinese take out food from here as well as we were let down so many times by another popular chinese restaurant in town. The prices are great for the amount you get and you are able to try different dishes if you dont mind sharing with another person. I would highly recommend esp if you are looking for quick service. The only thing I don't like is the sharing of the benches because if someone is wiggling their legs the whole bench moves however this happens a lot less frequently than you would think and I HATE unnecessary movement and fidgeting. Anyway I love this place and you should too.

A quick bite for lunch on resent visit to town, food was ok and prices were fair. Mrs has a seafood noodle soup which she enjoyed, I went for a fried noodle dish which to be honest was quite plain and lacked any real taste.

We decided to go to Mizu prior to attending the Theatre. WE ordered two Bento boxes. There was very little waiting time, the food was hot and tasty and the staff were friendly.

Popped in to Mizu for a change to normal lunchtime eating. A good choice as well. Lots of choice and the food is well presented and quickly bought to your table. There is plenty of food on the plate and it is very tasty.

I was over in Ipswich visiting my friends who currently studies at the uni there. I had had mizu recommended to me by many friends and so I was hoping to try it. I saw visiting my friend as the perfect opportunity to give it...

This is a very nice restaurant. Food is very good. One criticism is that it's a tad pricey but other than that very nice.

I went to mizu with a group of friends, we enjoyed fantastic authentic oriental cuisine, they have some mild and some spicy selections as well. They have some allergen free options, I enjoyed this meal a lot and I have returned, I would recommend any...

All staff are so friendly, if you can't finish your meal they'll wrap up the rest for you to take home. Go on a monday, you get a free side with your meal. Portions are huge and food tastes lovely, no complaints here.

i have been going to Mizu with my family for as long as i can remember, and ever since i tried this dish i’ve had it every time we go. to some, it may seem quite a big dish, and could possibly even be shared between two people if you’re going for something lighter, but it’s absolutely delicious and completely worth it.

Menu offered good choice of simple foods with good descriptions and the staff were able to advise. Food was prepared quickly and portions were generous.

Menukortet er meget rigt på forskellige retter. Maden kom virkelig hurtigt og var ganske god. Vi blev meget mætte af en sideorder og en mainorder pr person, så man kan sagtens nøjes med en hovedret bare.

Reasonable food and like there are a few veggie options. But good grief the staff seem unhappy here to a point it feels uncomfortable going in. Utterly souless service , no check back , glum.

Monday lunchtime (22nd July 2019) met up with my friend at mizu for a catch up. We both have been to this place before and it has been alright but this time has left me feeling so ill and in the heat wave we are having right now it is horrible! I ordered a coke which was flat. The waiters/waitresses were not the happiest at all they were grumpy and came across quite rude! I ordered the chicken in black bean sauce noodles (34c) and literally 5mins later mine and my friends meals arrived. I remember thinking to myself “wow that came quick” but it obviously wasn’t cooked fresh and tasted like it was cooked the day before, which make sense as it was the weekend and was more likely to be leftovers from the weekend! I couldn’t even stir the noodles etc because they were all stuck together like the meal had been pre heated, I just ate about a quarter of the meal not even that. Later that evening I started to feel really ill sickness etc and yesterday morning woke up to sickness, diarrhoea, stomach cramps etc throughout the day, only to realise it was food poisoning. (24th July 2019) still have it as it’ll take about a week to go away and it’s not looking good. All I can say is stay away! If only I said something at the time so I wouldn’t have to had paid for that meal I regret. Not going back again.

Group of friends ordered a take out Mizu to be delivered. We received a great and swift service with the delivery and the food was super fresh. As fresh as if you were eating in the restaurant. Unsure if it was the deceiving packaging perhaps but the portions felt bigger than when in the physical restaurant!? Either way all rated the food and really enjoyed having a Mizu at home!

If you like lots of noodles, then it might suit, but the menu is quite limited, it is too noisy and quite expensive, will not go again

Had a great meal with my wife. Food was brilliant. Tasty and spicy. Seafood was cooked to perfection with a lovely hot sauce. Yummy.

We had lunch here and my son choose this restaurant. He ordered chicken and corn noodles soup on kids menu and he really enjoyed it, we had ribs and crackers for starter for our mains my friend and i we both ordered yakisoba which is gorgeous we really enjoyed it.

had a lunch date with my friend and It was very very nice. Food is delicious. Presented well. Good prices. Good portions. ONLY downfall is the seating arrangements inside is really uncomfortable and set out very weird BUT it was still an enjoyable lunch!

Quick lunch while shopping, food came out really quick. I had the Kung Po chicken which was a tiny bit dry but tasted great and was just the right level of spicy.

Came here for dinner with some friends. Had been on our list for a long time but never got around to it. Well we finally did and we we're not disappointed. Ordered a lot of starters which were served quickly and were delicious. Spring rolls, gyozas, prawns all fabulous. A bit of a wait on the mains but delighted when they arrived. Large portions and really good food. Would love to go back.

We ordered takeaway for the first time from this place yesterday . We received our food very quickly and the food was very enjoyable. We will definitely order again...

I give three stars is to be fair, I had a meal here with some friends and my meat on the rice was very hard, I always have the same thing but it seems to over cook every time, but some of our dishes was excellent, the service was not great, it’s would be better with a little smile! To compare with Trongs the service there is far better with the lady called Anna...

Absolutely shocked by my disgusting treatment last night. I have eaten at mizu for off and on for the past 10 years, I will never come back.

If you are in a hurry and want to eat lots of delicious food this is the place to go. The food was delicious and plentiful. There was four off us and we ate and out within the hour. So if you want to be able to enjoy a long catch up it’s not a place to go.

We had lunch today, the squid was amazing, the tastiest I’ve had ever had and cooked to perfection. I had the crispy pork and my hubby had the peanut chicken noodles both delicious. I have been a few times previously to this visit and the consistency is always great. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return and would recommend to anyone visiting Ipswich

I suggested Mizu for a pre-match meal on Tuesday given the speed of service. True to form, the food was delivered promptly and piping hot. The Pad Thai was of the usual high standard; the prices are just so reasonable for the portion sizes and standard of food. My colleagues who had never been were also suitably impressed. I’d strongly recommend ignoring the review below. This place is an absolute gem.

I used to love coming here years ago, but we should have trusted our gut instinct when we walked in and saw how run down the place is now. Me and my partner visited for lunch on a Sunday, there were maybe two other customers. Our beers came over, two disappointing peronis, our favourite beer some how ruined.

Really love the food here at mizu, there's always a good atmosphere and we have never ever sent food back or had any problems which is why we return often.

Not been for a while but pleased to see that just after 12noon the customers were still flocking in. Service was fast and friendly as it has always been.

My daughter and I often visit her at lunchtime and have always thoroughly enjoyed every thing we have eaten. Good value for money and large portions. Would recommend
