we recently hosted a birthday celebration for my husband and because of the timing around a holiday weekend I wanted to make the food âeasyâ to serve.I went to see the owner at Avenue East a few weeks before my party and he gave me their catering menu which was about 4 pages long.We narrowed down our choices on various sushi, hot appetizers and 4 entrees. I placed the order 4-5 days before the party, and set a delivery time.At exactly the time I requested, the food arrived hot and ready to pop in the oven to stay warm and the sushi went right into the fridge.The sushi was nicely plated so I just left it as delivered and put out the wasabi, ginger and dipping sauce in bowls. They also sent more than enough chop sticks. We later brought out the entrees, although to be honest everyone was pretty well satiated from the sushi and hot appetizers! Live and learn about food portioning!Everything was delicious and I could relax and really enjoy the party!Iâm sure they will be getting some new customers soon- everyone was very impressed with the food and asking which restaurant we ordered from and we were happy to share the name and address!Thank you!

My friend has been wanting to come to this place for dinner. So when I suggested a night out, this place was our choice. I also checked online and knew that the reviews on this restaurant has been positive. Overall, our meal was good.For appetizers, I had the fried tofu with dashi powder. To be frank, I was a bit disappointed. The tofu was cut in small cubes and deep fried. Then some soy sauce was dribbled on top of it with some bonita powder (bonita is very common in Japanese cooking. It's also called wood fish). I found this plate was not very satisfying. Tofu is a very blend food and it really requires a lot of skills to make tofu tasty. In the future, this is a dish I will not be ordering.On the other hand, the sushi sashimi boat for 2 we ordered was wonderful. It was an eye catcher. When the food was served, we received a lot of comments and attentions from the neighboring table. We are two guys we really can eat and we finished the whole thing. The fish was fresh and tasty. We really liked it.This place is small and I can see that some of the patrons were on dates. The place does give some intimate feeling. Food is a three star -- meets expectation. I would have given a four had the tofu been great.Service is a three star -- meets expectation. The staffs are very pleasant though they don't speak much English, but enough to take your order and bring you food.Value is a three star -- meets expectation. For the freshness I tasted, I find what they charge to be acceptable.Overall, a three star experience. In the future, skip the tofu.

My original reason for coming this way was to go to a Greek restaurant, but as I walked by it was completely empty. So, I decided to walk around and find a more happening spot, which is how I found Mizu. The restaurant was fairly full, the atmosphere cozy, and staff friendly and welcoming. I was seated right away and given a beverage immediately, as well as my order taken. Since I ordered cooked rolls, I expected my food to take a bit longer. So I ordered a miso soup and a guacamole shrimp while I waited. The miso was super good and just what I needed on this cold day. The guacamole shrimp was amazing!!! I almost ordered another dish and said forget the main, but didnât want to look greedy. The roll came and was cooked perfectly. They were a bit bigger in diameter than I am used to, but so what..the more the merrier!! The rolls are priced on point, so I got more than my money worth. I was completely full with what I ordered and it all cost less than 25$, which is almost unheard of at a sushi spot. If you are anywhere near Cranford, pay this place a visit. The food, atmosphere and customer service are well worth it. Enjoy!!!
