On Lower Greenville, the sushi shuffle at 2014 Greenville Ave has a new headliner. Mizu Sushi & Handroll Bar quietly slipped into the storied address in late November, bringing a back-to-basics sushi approach from local chef Roy Ahn, with traditional nigiri, made-to-order hand rolls, and an omakase-style option in a laid-back setting. A full bar and blue-lit interior are designed to deliver a more casual alternative to Dallas’s high-dollar omakase counters.
As reported by CultureMap Dallas, Mizu opened under the name Mizu Sushi & Handroll Bar and is the latest project from Ahn, a Dallas sushi veteran who has owned or managed spots like Little Katana, Kome Sushi, and Sushi Zen in Southlake. The outlet also notes that Ahn opened Otaru in Bishop Arts in 2024.
A Long-Running Sushi Address
For longtime Greenville diners, the address itself is a throwback. The storefront at 2014 Greenville Ave housed Teppo for nearly three decades before it closed in 2022, and chef Jimmy Park launched Kaiyo in the same space in late 2023, according to The Dallas Morning News. That quick turnover from Teppo to Kaiyo to Mizu underlines how Lower Greenville’s sushi options have been in flux.
Menu And Vibe
Mizu leans into classic preparations, with a menu built around nigiri and temaki-style hand rolls that range from tuna and hamachi to uni, along with an omakase-style tasting alongside a la carte picks, according to the reporting. Chris Ahn, the chef’s son, told CultureMap Dallas that the idea was to create “an option where you don’t have to break the bank,” and said the blue neon and music-forward dining room were chosen to evoke water and keep the mood relaxed.
Local business listings place Mizu at 2014 Greenville Ave and include early feedback from diners, according to the restaurant’s public listing on MapQuest. Its arrival adds another approachable sushi stop to a stretch of Lower Greenville that keeps rewriting its own restaurant lineup.
