Fills you up but doesn't satisfy!. I can see how this can be popular with tourists, kind of like in Vegas with their competing "all you can eat" megabuffets. But this place is in NYC and you kind of think it would have more to offer than just mediocrity. The sushi is bland and the big ticket seafood items like crab legs are always MIA. It's got a huge selection of food, but it's only a good value if you find stuff that's tasty. There was nothing that I wanted to go back for seconds of.

stingy buffet.
The food is good, and they are generous with cooked food, but forget about the TUNA. They never put out tuna. (They keep refilling the rolls, shrimp, etc, but for tuna you have to ASK. Then they give you ONE PIECE. Or, if they are nice, two. If you ask for more than 2 pieces, they say come back later.) I've been there many many times (weekends, holidays, weekdays, winter, spring, etc) and it's always been like this. There's always a mad undignified dash for tuna, which is so stingy of them.
Update: I tried the Long Island location and it's better! ...not stingy like the Manhattan location.

All You Can Eat Japanese. Minado is a much needed establishment in a city like Manhattan where the price of food could run one's financial well dry. If you can bring yourself to pay the $27 a person price, be sure to eat your sushi and japanese food's worth. They have a wide variety of hot / cold food, desserts, and seafood. The restaurant itself is spacious and the service is attentive and friendly.
