🎉 18 & On Fire at Mizu Steakhouse

We celebrated my grandbaby’s 18th birthday at Mizu in Renton.

And let me tell you… life is funny.

Back in the day, that exact location used to be a Shari’s — my parents’ favorite go-to dinner spot when we wanted a simple family night out. Pancakes, pie, comfort food, booth conversations.

Now?

It’s a Japanese hibachi grill.

Full circle.

Same building.

Different era.

New memories.

The Experience

The food?

Good.

The prices?

Fine.

The atmosphere?

Great.

The service?

Okay.

But the chef?

The chef was the absolute star.

He didn’t just cook — he entertained.

He engaged everyone at the table.

He made it a show.

He made it a celebration.

That’s what you want for an 18th birthday.

The fire.

The chopping.

The jokes.

The crowd reactions.

You could see my grandbaby soaking it in.

And that matters more than anything.

The Vibe

It’s one of those places you go when you want:

• Food cooked right in front of you

• A little drama with your dinner

• Laughter at the table

• An interactive experience

It’s not just eating. It’s participating.

And honestly? Watching generations sit around that grill — remembering Shari’s from back in the day while celebrating 18 years of life — that hit different.

Time moves.

Buildings change.

But family dinners?

Those stay sacred.

I’d recommend it for anyone wanting a fun, entertaining, cook-at-your-table experience — especially for birthdays or group celebrations.

The chef carried the night. And that’s not a small thing.
