About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

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 was really excited to come here to celebrate my moms birthday but for whatever reason our server seemed to be uninterested in waiting our table and focused on all of her other tables except for my mom and I. Not to mention I had placed the reservations occasion for a birthday and nobody told her happy birthday or anything. Everything was fine at first but then we ordered drinks and after 15 minutes it was obvious she had forgotten to ring in our drinks and then blamed it on food runners. Then the drinks came. Mom asked for a fork and she never came back until we were ready to leave and we had to get someone else to get rid of our plates and also get our check for us. So I gave her a poor tip for her poor service. When I say she was ignoring us I’m not even kidding she would literally walk right past us and turn her head away as if she was avoiding us, it was really weird and unprofessional. It was almost like she thought i wasn’t going to tip her well because of the way I was dressed, I don’t look like I have money. But I do and some people don’t like to make it obvious And how You make me put down my credit card to book this place for such terrible service is honestly crazy and shameful on the fine dining industry as a whole. Don’t get me wrong. Good sushi, very fresh but this first time has completely soured the experience of me ever wanting to come back here

This is always a favor of ours! Brought some friends who are new to the area who said it was one of the best restaurants they have eaten at in Virginia Beach.

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.
