The Scene – Situated in a former warehouse in one of Route 9's ubiquitous strip malls, Minado's bright, high-ceilinged dining room offers seating for the largest of groups and clear walking lanes, even when it's filled with large groups. Kid-friendly pricing (those under two-and-a-half feet eat free) makes this a family favorite. Dutiful servers are quick to clear used plates, while buffet-station workers are pleased to explain any unfamiliar dishes. – – The Food – Discussion of the seemingly endless buffet (more than 100 offerings) must begin with the exceptional…

Good food, but expensive at dinner

by lovelysmile at Citysearch

dinner price i feel is expensive--29/ person which is much more than normal chinese restuarant. But I really enjoyed their sushi. Even some of my japanese friends said it is so good.

Amazing selection for a buffet

by foodaddict39 at Citysearch

Don't expect the best quality raw fish here and don't expect your makis to be tightly rolled. It's a buffet after all. The plates of raw fish replenish itself very slowly and so on the weekend, you might actually eat through the entire bufet without ever getting to a slice of salmon. People fight over a fresh plate of raw fish. Get in line and stay in line with two plates in your hand -- no need to be polite here. If you prefer handrolls, you can ask one of the chefs behind the counter to make you one. Usually they don't refuse unless they are super busy. The hot food selections are quite decent, too. A buffet worth its steep price!

  • Pros: Special occasions they also serve all you can eat lobster!
  • Cons: No green-tea ice cream here! Long wait.

Empty stomach & Craving for Fish

by smileyroot at Citysearch

I agreed with the other reviewer on Minado. I only go there when I am craving fish and very hungry. Lunch meal only offers veggi rolls and a few sushi nigiri, and salads are not so creative any more. I love to see some of Latino infused salads, but also those labor used so massively is kinda hard to see.

I tihnk the service is getting worse over the year as the price is going up.. what is going on with that?

  • Pros: BUFFET
  • Cons: Small variety of sushi, long line

The Details on Minado Restaurant

When to Go:

Avoid a $2 surcharge on weekends and holidays by partaking of the buffet Monday through Thursday.

Know Before You Go:

The buffet price doesn't include beverages: Sodas, coffee and green tea all come with free refills and cost only $1.50.

Where to Sit:

To enjoy your meal in relative peace, opt for a table on the outskirts of the dining room; it's farther away from the buffet, but also from its teeming lines.
