Minado Restaurant

If you like sushi or Japanese food, you must try Minado. This place is unbelievable. I think they charge $15 for lunch and $25 for dinner to indulge yourself in their all-you-can-eat wonderland of food. I'm not joking, this place is huge, like a small Japanese palace and has like 100 different dishes to try. The sushi stations are set in the middle of the buffet, so you can watch chefs prepare the delicious salmon roll you're about to eat. Everything is so fresh and never sloppy or just thrown together like some buffet places. You can start with miso soup and dumplings, head to the hibachi grill for some shrimp skewers, try 30 different kinds of sushi and sashimi and top it all off with some green tea ice cream. In addition to the endless supply of food, they have an extensive drink list that features saki and plum wines. I've seen many a birthday party celebrated here while I was dining and they also have a banquet room that can hold several hundred guests. Sometimes it can get a little crowded, but the food is fantastic. If you're a sushi lover, you've got to try Minado. more

This is my favorite place. All you can eat Japanese buffet. I go once a month by myself, bring a magazine, and sit for an hour and a half eating crab legs and various other Japanese items. I like the shu mai, Philadelphia sushi (smoked salmon, avocado, and cream cheese), sesame spinach, and dessert (crepes, little cakes) and cola. After tip, it comes to $30, and I've had my favorite food (crab), some quiet time by myself, and I'm perfectly content. Very clean, not a typical buffet. Sooooo many choices. You'll have fun. They have beer and wine (not a great selection of wines). A great place for a large gathering. more

It's no joke that you shouldn't eat at an Asian restaurant unless there are other Asians eating there as well - and this place is packed with them, and everyone else- b/c it's great sushi and Chinese- all in buffet style- eat all you can- stuff your face! The place is huge- and often packed ... the service is pretty good (they serve you drinks and clean your plates, etc)... and the food is really good! Go when you are ready to eat the night away - b/c it's not worth it for a small meal. more
