“We always love Mizuno. We had the sashimi salad, yellowtail, Superman roll, and another roll (SWEAT?). It was nice to have some rolls available without rice. Server was attentive and pricing was appropriate. Would highly recommend for sushi“

“tried it for the first time today, it was amazing!! Great location, staff was very nice, huge portions, food was incredible!!“

“It's always a great experience at Inu Inu. As mentioned before the place is the most authentic tasting we've eaten. In Japan you don't call a server verbally. They used a remote akin to a doorbell. You need anything press the call button and within seconds they're there. The food was excellent as always and I can't rave enough about them. Thank you so much.“

“This review is so long overdue. I have come here a lot. I absolutely love this place. The sushi is delicious and priced incredibly well. The guy, every time I go there, is always running around and getting things done. He is absolutely amazing. I have gotten sushi there, coconut shrimp, coconut chicken, the bobas, smoothies....... All incredibly delicious.“

“Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. My go to spot of AYCE sushi“

“The restaurant food is really good. I used to work. I used to work with them. But one day. They decided to stop working with me and they didn’t pay me nothing for 2 years. And they stole $ 6,000 dollars that i pay to them when we open the restaurant. Until now i am still waiting for my money“

“We enjoyed their scrumptious food, cozy ambience and most all their quick serving 🥰“

“Absolute best sushi in the area! There is Zushi and then there is everyone else. Top notch food, top notch service.“

“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!“

“Absolutely the best dinner experience I've ever had! The environment was absolutely amazing. We had a party and the area they sat us in was so perfect. Everything from appetizers, to the entree, and desert was so delicious and beautiful. Service was amazing. They even had a live piano player which was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a special night out. Thank you YamaChen for a great night.“

“The best sushi place on the southside! Been several times and will continue to go back. Fresh seafood, great presentation, phenomenal service, wonderful atmosphere. Check it out.“

“Best Japanese AYCE in Hampton Roads! The staff always do a great job.“

“First time ever going . From walking into the doors to leaving . We had nothing but great customer service . We didn’t make reservations and had a seat for 7 ready in 10 minutes . While they were already busy . Everyone was friendly . Our server was new but wouldn’t know it because she was great . Our chef was AMAZING ! Everyone LOVED him. Food was PREFECT! All of kids had a blast . The shims catching in the mouth game was a big hit . My youngest daughter was glued the whole time and already asking to go back to see fire and the nice food man. Even leaving the host was taking to my 9 month old son. While going to my car to feed to my son one of the workers even offered to let me feed in his office because it’s cold out . I just loved the family vibe . I highly recommend if you are looking for a great place . Also sushi was on point too! Nothing but positive feed back here . Thank you for the workers and their great experience“

“Wow. 🤤 the food was so delicious!!!!!! Fresh off the grill, and still hot by the time I got home. all the ingredients were fresh, high-quality, light and flavorful. Big portions, tender and perfectly cooked protein, fluffy yummy rice. Perfectly cooked lo mein noodles!!!!!!! Omygoshhhh 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😭 i also wanted to point out that they gave me a lot of veggies! They were hiding in the noodles and under the steak ☺️

I love the care and quality that was so clearly put into preparing this meal. I also liked that, unlike most hibachi places, the food wasn’t greasy or heavy. It had a very healthy but still delicious quality to it! I don’t think I will want to go anywhere else for hibachi from now on. 🥲 and I’ll have to go back soon to try their sushi and appetizers!

There’s something special about a quiet small business that makes simple but incredibly delicious food with care that leaves you feeling warm. And It doesn’t have to be Michelin star or a super extravagant meal to be the best, which I certainly feel it is.

I also really appreciated that the woman at the counter prepared my takeout bag so thoughtfully and even offered to help me to my car, because I was carrying my baby with me. Thank you so much. 🙏“

“we come here once a week and when I tell you, the food is absolutely amazing every single time we come the food is so good. We always do takeout fresh and flavorful bursting with so many different flavors and the vegetables always cook perfectly but one thing I will always say is I get told to come pick it up in 10 minutes and I’m standing there for 45 minutes waiting for my food to be done and I feel like they’re kind of overpriced because of the fact that sometimes we don’t want vegetables but we still get charged for it when other meals if you don’t want vegetables, you can ask for double rice or double meat or they’ll take a couple dollars off for the vegetables. The lady in the front does not know what she’s doing at all. I asked for Yum Yum sauce and she gave me spicy mayo when I get home I would sit, but it is what it is other than that the food is great atmosphere is terrible. It’s very dirty in there. When you walk in the tables are never cleaned and the manager is just very rude all the time.“

“Always fast to get the sushi and other food out. Clean and friendly environment.“

“One of the best sushi places. The food was amazing the atmosphere was very welcoming and comforting. Highly recommend for a couples date or a group dinner. Try the Vanilla tempura ice cream, it’s amazing!“

“Their food is so delicious 🤤 🤤🤤🤤“

“I went with my mom to celebrate her birthday and it's one of the best sushi I've had! The service was great too, the waitress is very kind and brought us free miso soup to apologize for the long wait due to a lot of people coming to the restaurant. The food is great I couldn't wait to take a picture before I had some to eat first. We got the unagi, California, rainbow and Virginia rolls and the sashimi appetizers and we loved all of them. Will definitely visit again 🤩“

“This place is great. The potions are huge. The veggies and sauce are fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff. 10 % off for all teachers and first responders.“

“Absolutely exceptional service and food. Have been going here for 5 years. The managers Karen and Andi are friendly and ensure we have a wonderful time. I love the habachi side. The all you can can eat side have many tasteful options. I would love to see a potential version of all you can eat in the dine in section that includes habachi, even if allowed just one plate.“

“we tried via Doordash and I was surprised how good it was ! fresh fast and the dinner we ordered was hot when it arrived! the sushi was very good 💯 I had a little side salad and the dressing was selfmade I think, it was so delicious ! thank you ! we will definitely swing by and dine in the next time ❤️“

“Super cute place. Excellent service & amazing food! Highly recommend!“

“Very good tásate, nice service, fast service“

“No need to go elsewhere! This is the best around! Just had lunch and got complimentary miso soup, volcano roll and dessert. Couldn't finish my shrimp fried rice - portion was huge! Outstanding service, delicious, fresh food and immaculate restaurant!“

“The food was served very quickly, and it was delicious. They also made us the sushi we asked for, since the one on the menu didn’t have what we wanted.
Our waiter Jim was super nice to us.
The place is also very nice and clean. I recommend this restaurant a hundred percent.“

“good food and smoothies period“

“The place is clean, a few tables, fountain, can, and bottle drinks available. Sauces, plastic ware, and napkins next to the fountain drinks. Very organized but the napkins are the typical cheap ones, sandpaper like type.
The food comes out pretty quick. Tried the chicken hibachi with rice & veggies and it was a pretty good size and tasted excellent.
The salmon roll was pretty good for a place like this, generous with the salmon for sure.
Prices are definitely fair, a hibachi dinner and a drink for about twelve bucks after tax.
Will definitely try them again.“

“All you can lunch special is 🙌🙌🙌🙌 every time that we eat here my wife and I we typically get the best service out of any restaurant that we've ever been to and the food is top notch and doesn't lose quality with it being all you can eat. The dinner menu is a chef's kiss“

“Whenever I visit VB, I like to stop into Ouka Sora because it is my favorite Ramen shop. It's the only one I've been to that has an easy menu kiosk. The shop is bright and clean, and their service is quick and friendly! The food is always hot and tastes excellent! Ive been visiting for a few years now and I've never had a bad experience. I really hope the owners consider opening another location in Hampton or Newport News. Hint hint! 😉“

“Sashimi and all the sushi I like and good service too“
