Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: MIZ Japanese Restaurant offers a slice of old-school Japan, tucked away on the second floor of a shophouse in Bukit Merah.

We think the charm here lies in its unpretentious, family-run atmosphere, which many reviewers liken to eateries found in quiet Japanese towns.

The food consistently receives praise for its freshness and authentic taste, with the katsu pork curry rice being a standout for its tender meat and flavourful sauce.

Other highly recommended dishes include the fresh sashimi, the Kawaebi (recommended with beer), and the Salmon Tataki.

While some note that the katsu curry could be served hotter or offer spice level options, the overall consensus is that the quality and authenticity of the food outweigh minor critiques.

Parking can be challenging, so we'd recommend taking public transport if possible.

The space is small, so reservations are advisable, especially for dinner.

We think this is a reliable spot for an authentic, no-frills Japanese meal that focuses on good food and a welcoming atmosphere.

What customers say

MIZ Japanese Restaurant is highly praised for its authentic, homey Japanese ambiance and consistently fresh, delicious food, particularly the katsu pork curry, sashimi, and various seafood dishes like oysters and kawaebi.

Customers frequently highlight the friendly and efficient service, often provided by the welcoming lady boss, contributing to a satisfying dining experience despite the challenging parking situation and the restaurant's small size.

While most dishes are served well, some wish for options like adjustable spice levels for the curry.
