Mul Yam was established in 1995 by Shalom Maharovsky, its current owner; the chef is Yoram Nitzan. The restaurant specialized in seafood and fish, which mainly import from different parts of the world and a little meat and vegetarian dishes.

Mapa guide to Israel's best restaurants writes: "The matching between the minimalist and delicate treatment of Yoram Nitzan and the finest fish, seafood and wines that Shalom Maharovsky import, makes Mul Yam the best fish restaurant in Israel and especially the best seafood restaurant in Israel."[1]

Gault Millau Israel awarded the restaurant its top rating for five consecutive years.

It was chosen as one of the ten best restaurants in Israel by Sagi Cohen, Maariv (newspaper) food critic.[2][3] and chosen as one of the best restaurants in Israel by Daniel Rogov, Haaretz food and wine critic[4] and as one of the ten best restaurants by Al Hashulchan magazine[5] Mapa guide writes that: "Maybe it's the best restaurant in Israel.[6]
