    If you were to spend $30 at another sushi restaurant, you would be extremely limited on what you might eat. This is probably the most affordable way to eat...read more

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 sushi: Highlights include huge pieces of freshly-sliced salmon sashimi or made-to-order California rolls. (Baked lobster tails don't fall under the buffet's all-you-can-eat realm; they're limited to one per person.) Diners who pry themselves away from the sushi bar find dozens of hot (tender beef teriyaki) and cold (giant snow crab legs) options, as well as a made-to-order hamachi table. Desserts include tea cakes and melon slices.
