About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for business meals
Innovative

Mizuno Japanese Restaurant is a family-run business that first opened in 1996. Located in Virginia Beach, Mizuno is embedded in a seafood hotspot, only 25 miles south of the Eastern Shore of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay, and 158 miles south of Hatteras, North Carolina. Chef-owner Wataru Mizuno feels blessed to be a sushi chef in a culinary trifecta like Virginia Beach. Mizuno and his team take advantage of the restaurant's access to local sources by artfully composing daily specials that feature fresh shrimp, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, flounder, blue crabs and oysters, to name a few. The hook's simple. Mizuno resists complicated sauces and excessive ingredients. Instead, he flavors scallops from the world famous Chesapeake Bay, adding nothing more, at times, than a dash of citrus and a pinch of sea salt. Wataru Mizuno: Chef/Owner Born in Japan, Wataru Mizuno received his formal training in Tokyo, as an apprentice under master Teruo Sato.

I have been going to Mizuno my favorite sushi restaurant, since it opened nearly 30 years ago, and the fish quality remains consistently high. There are a number of creative rolls I've never seen anywhere else (metal gear is a banging surf n turf combo), and many sushi options can be had either traditional or 'new' style with special sauces or garnishes. If soft shell crabs are in season they will be on the menu and you should get them! They also do a mean tempura. It's a bit pricier that most sushi places in the area, but it is also a cut above.

The service was horrible. We sat at the bar waiting for our table and it took about 5 full minutes to even be greeted. There were 3 ppl behind the bar and it wasn’t busy.

The one thing about Mizuno is that it never disappoints. Sat at the sushi bar last night and when service got busy Chef engaged to make sure we were taken care of. Sushi is the highest standard in the region

Amazing in every way. Perfect for a long very important family dinner. The staff let us linger well past closing time without making us feel rushed at all. We will definitely return again! We were a party of six people and the bill was over $528. Well worth it.

Wonderful food, helpful service, 4-top next to us was a bit too loud for my husband and me to hear each other. Probably not the normal situation. Food and service were excellent!
