Cindy, Wil and Bradley all have January birthdays, so they did it all at once in Minado, a restaurant I haven't been in for years. The moment I stepped in, everything seemed familiar. Not a thing changed... layout, decor and menu. It's still as good as it was years ago. It's a few dollars higher than the average Chinese buffet, but I gave them a good rating for value because the quality of food is much higher. Half of the counter space is devoted to sushi. While the raw fish doesn't have the same craftsmanship as a specialty restaurant, Minado is very creative and has more variety than any other place I've been to. The non-sushi foods are fresh Japanese cuisine.

The service was a lot better than most buffets as the waitresses make rounds very often. Despite a busy night, our waitress was always available when we needed her. The environment was relatively clean except for the restrooms.
