"Talented opening chef Hisae Stuck is no longer at Lucky Mizu, so the menu has drifted somewhat from its original high-end shabu-shabu to include things like sashimi and sushi, which honestly makes the restaurant a lot more versatile. Yes, there’s still wagyu shabu-shabu and seiro mushi (more of a gentle steaming technique) for those wanting to get something more comforting, but Lucky Mizu’s energetic, high-design interior still makes it a fun place to get a modern Japanese dinner in Downtown. When booking a table, be sure to ask for one of the few booths if you have a larger party as most of the space is dedicated to bar seating." - Matthew Kang
"Hidden deep inside Level 8, a multi-faceted food and drink space on the eighth floor of Downtown’s AC/Moxy hotels, this upscale shabu-shabu restaurant has a $55 set menu with sushi roll appetizers and either hibachi or hot pot with options of Angus ribeye, A5 wagyu chuck roll, and miso salmon. Finish with calamansi sorbet or mochi ice cream with seasonal fruit." - Matthew Kang
"On Friday and Saturday nights at 10 p.m., Lucky Mizu, a shabu-shabu restaurant at Level 8, will host Tokyo Nights, a late-night sushi and sake experience with live music. The event will feature specialty cocktails and rotating DJs." - Rebecca Roland
"Potentially the city’s splashiest new shabu-shabu restaurant in years, Lucky Mizu comes to the bustling Level 8 in Downtown from chef Hisae Stuck, who trained with Joël Robuchon. The results are a semi-hidden dining room serving high-end shabu-shabu with prime-grade American beef, wagyu, and pristine vegetables. The menu offers some raw fish options as well, and even sushi, in case shabu-shabu feels too daunting." - Matthew Kang
"Lucky Mizu is a shabu-shabu specialist restaurant overseen by chef Hisae Stuck. It is part of the Level 8 compound within the Moxy and AC Hotels in Downtown Los Angeles." - Farley Elliott
