Mizuna has gone from being “that vegetarian restaurant” to the best restaurant in town.

The food is continental inspired, but with a good touch of creative twists to make everything that much more interesting. Try something as simple as the steak for example; always cooked to perfection, and served with seasonal vegetables, honey, shallots, and figs. Sure, it’s hard to mess up a steak (short of overcooking it,) but being creative with it is equally difficult, so kudos to Mizuna there.

Other highlights include the pasta with duck confit, and a good old fashioned classic cheese platter. For lunch I recommend the tofu tacos—they are not (and this should surprise no-one) traditional tacos, but highly flavorful.

Note that the vegetarian and vegan meals are prepared in a separate area from the meat based ones.

I thought that when I went to the famous Mizuna, that I would have been delighted with the service. The food was great, when we actually got it. It was the service that was in bad taste. We felt that because of our attire, (which we wear on purpose to test out the Classist theory) we were paid very little attention…sad.

I have eaten twice at Mizuna, both times on dates. The food was exquisite, the service was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would recommend Mizuna to anyone looking for something healthy and good.

Mizuna’s wait staff is very pleasant, and the food is better than anything I’ve had in Spokane. By the way, I am a chef so I know good food when I taste it.

This used to be my favorite restaurant in Spokane but last time the service was not-so-great. The food is outstanding though so I will probably be back. Very expensive.

Even from a confessed food snob and a complete meat lover, Mizuna’s is my favorite downtown spot. Great old city atmosphere. Creative dishes, good choices for vegans, diabetics, Celiac sufferers. I wouldn’t ordet the steak again, but everything else is always great! One wish; I wish they would put ice in their water glasses, warm water is very unappetizing.

Mizuna is the best. It has been my favorite restaurant since the day it opened. I always stick with the veg or vegan options and have yet to try the meat/fish/chicken. There is always an amazing vegan soup. I love Mizuna.

Good server but other staff could use some more training. There was a girl whose job was passing out and refilling water glasses :( without ice. We were sitting looking at our menus and she set the water glasses in the middle of the menu. Every time she came back to refill the water she ended up getting in the way. She acted like there weren’t even people sitting at the table.

We had the vegetarian field roast and the daily special with tofu. The field roast was wonderful. The Vegan carrot cake was also great.

As a vegetarian, I appreciate Mizuna’s creativity and ability to move beyond standard vegetarian fare. I eat here frequently with a vegan friend and she has no problem. We both agree that the food is excellent.

That said, we seem to get stuck with the SAME SLOWWWWWW server every time (seriously, they need to either fire him or work on his training).

It took us a while to realize that this particular server will probably never be able to serve a table in under two hours. So, we finally figured out a way to enjoy the delicious food and make it back to work on time: ask for the check in advance. Trust me, you will be glad you did.

We have eaten at Mizuna’s many many times on our trips to or through Spokane (from B.C.) and we love it! We had to spend a week in Spokane three and a half years ago taking our daughter to the Shriner’s hospital daily and we unfortunately did not know about this amazing place. The first thing we thought when we finally ate there a few months later was how many amazing lunches we missed.

We usually go for lunch since the price is very reasonable and the food is amazing! My new favourite dish is the mahi mahi wrap but honestly every thing we’ve tried has been delicious.

My husband and I have four children and even though the restaurant is upscale and elegant we always feel comfortable and welcome with our children. In the summer we often phone ahead and order lunch to take across the street to the park.

The only complaint I have is that they seem to have a new lunch hostess who is not very polite or helpful. All she seems capable of is showing you where to sit and pouring water. A little annoying but not a deal breaker.

Over all this is one of the best lunch places I’ve ever been to and we look forward to eating there on every trip to Spokane.

Just enjoyed another wonderful dining experience at Mizuna’s and I cannot recommend the place enough.

When we have out of town company this is the one restaurant that we will always take them too. To date we have not had a bad meal, they have been consistent – something of a rarity in Spokane. Sometimes the servers are not very knowledgeable but they have always made up for it in enthusiasm.

The menu changes constantly so there is little doubt that one will get bored. So indulge your taste buds and try it – you won’t be disappointed.

I found the menu to be limited for someone like me who is a picky eater but I soon got past that when I tasted the food. The food is delicious but I found it to be over priced for the portion. I will say they have some of the best cocktails in town. Good not stop drinking there Mojitos!
