Minado Restaurant

expensive but the price is worth it for a tasty Chinese and Japanese buffet. really good sushi for a "buffet" and they make it right in front of you! awesome selection of other foods, grilled meats, dumplings, ect. come hungry and leave absolutely stuffed. they also still require masks when going up to the buffet, certain ways to walk in line and gloves when touching the tongs. very clean and safe with the protocols.

Arrived for dinner here at 545pm on a Monday. Its 29.99 per person for all you can eat sushi/seafood buffet. Not too busy, no wait. They have a great selection of food. The issue is the food was not good at all. I enjoy 10% of what I ate. I tried all the sushi. The rice was cold and did not seem fresh. The rest of the food seemed lacking ad well. The staff was kind and attentive. For 29.99, my expectations were higher for food quality. Desert is included, but it must be ordered.

Minado used to have a separate lunch menu and dinner menu with more specialty options, and the price used to be under $20 for lunch and under $30 for dinner. Pandemic changed just like everything else changed in the world. Now, there is the same menu for lunch and dinner, and it's $32 for adults. Food options were much less than what they used to serve for the lunch menu, which was under $20. There are no dessert options at all. Only vanilla soft serve and some cookies provided at table. In the grill section, there was only one fish option. Rest all chicken and beef and fried items. Isn't this Japanese seafood place? Sushi options were there as before, but few trays were empty and didn't get refilled for a long time while I waited. Life has to move on, and so is the queue there, although no one was behind me on a busy Saturday. Overall price is up, quality is down, and options are way down. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, but here, you don't. I have to rethink if I should go here again or find my next option for seafood.

The restaurant was clean and very busy! Gloves were provided to diners for safety at the buffet lines. The selection of sushi was extremely varied and delicious. Servers were very attentive and helpful. The quality has really slipped at Minado. This restaurant used to be FANTASTIC! Now the signature dishes are cold and bland. The deserts used to be spread out for everyone to pick. Now they just have the server bring you a dramatically reduced option of ice cream and crepe. Hopefully they will try to return to their previous quality level when the pandemic is behind us.

Lot of reasons we tried here. Mainly the reviews. If it weren’t for all the nice staff this would not be such a great place. The sushi was average. The other items were at or below average. The only thing that stood out was they had great teriyaki chicken and beef. The rice was dried out. It wasn’t a place we would drive to to return. The prices do not match the food quality. A bit on the high side. 1 non alcoholic beverage and 2 people it was $85.00 including tip.
