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.

    We were a group of 10. Had an amazing time celebrating my birthday. 8 of the diners were first timers to the restaurant and they were truly impressed. Cocktails are always crafted so well. My favorite is the Lechee martini. Most of us had sushi. The fish was incredible. So fresh. Presentation excellent. Thank you again.

    This was our first time at Mizuno. I expected a lot more for the price we paid. The service was bad. Our server was slow to take our order and didn’t bring the sauce that went with our meal. The server also never came back to check on us at all. I had to ask the bus boy for the check. My wife is Japanese and she thought the food was mediocre at best. The seating seemed cheap and was uncomfortable. The staff was nice and friendly but, I expected a lot more for the amount of money we spent.

    Incredible service and food. We celebrate our anniversary every year at Mizuno and this was our best night yet, which was special considering it was our 10th anniversary. We had a lovely evening, thank you so much for going above and beyond. We can't wait to return!
