• Japanese • Virginia Beach
Booked 8 times today
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.

    Starting with appetizers and on to the main dishes as well as the wine, everything was delicious. We ended the marvelous meal with cherry cream gelatos. Our server, Chessy, was attentive but not obtrusive. Aldo's is one of my favorite restaurants and I have not had a bad meal there.

    This restaurant came highly recommended and we decided to check it out. The atmosphere was perfect. The fireplace was roaring, the music was just right and the staff is incredible! Our server helped navigate us thru the menu and suggesting delicious drinks to start. The food was 5-Star and the drinks were too! They have their own distillery onsite and make and use their own Bourbons in the food and drinks! Moving from our table to the big leather couches with our drinks was the perfect ending to our night! We’ll definitely be back!

    We enjoyed everything from ambiance to all the food and wine we ate. The lamb was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board. The paired white and red wine was very delicious. We will be back to try other dishes.
