Minado is a chain of Japanese All You Can Eat buffets. There was once a Minado in Manhattan but it closed less than 2 years ago and became Todai. There are still 5 locations on the East coast and my mom wanted to go to the fairly new location in Long Island. Minado

They really have a huge selection, some good, some bad, some great. Generally, most proteins were quite good but the carb's stunk and that didn't make sense to me since I would expect them to want to encourage people to eat more of the carbohydrate items that are cheaper and more filling.

Since I tried almost everything, you don't have to:

Try:
Eggplant
Beef Teriyaki (nice and rare)
Beef Tataki
Seared Salmon
Seared Snapper

Don't Try:

Stuffed Crab Shell
Raw Oysters
Edamame

Try if you feel like it:

Large assortment of Sushi (fish was pretty good but the rice was dry)
Large Assortment of rolls
Sashimi
Crab Legs
Fresh Fruit
Large Assortment of cakes (better than most buffets but not amazing)
