Minado Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Natick - 1282 Worcester St, USA

Japanese restaurant serving delicious sushi, hibachi and buffet spread. This place is a favorite for many. Great variety of food for dining that attracts a diverse population of customers. The restaurant can accommodate a family or large group. I like the green tea ice cream with crepes at the end. Sanitary level is satisfactory. They provide gloves for customers to wear while getting food. 🍱 Only downside is that you cannot make reservations. I prefer to arrive in the evening when they open to avoid long wait times.

Mixed reviews for us. We had Becky as a watress, and she was awesome. My wife spilled a little sauce on her shirt, and Becky saw her trying to get it out and brought some soda water over. Wow. Above and beyond. She was very attentive and quick. If you want sushi, then go here. Lots to choose from. I don't, so I ate the other food. Fried shrimp with the shell still on - yuck. Vegetable tempura - yum. The oce cream machine was good. The food was at best average to me. Unfortunately, I tried it and won't be coming back. This place is busy!!

The sushi buffet and variety of food restaurants have 90 mins time seating. It's the opposite of Natick Mall.

Pros • Super Clean. • Family-friendly • Really good sushi for a buffet • Heaven for seafood lovers • The vanilla ice cream was a hit with my kid. Cons • Not great for vegetarians and non-seafood lovers • The fried noodles and fried rice did not taste good at all (they were cold and tasted like they had gone bad) • Food goes fast, if you snooze on something you might be out of luck. • It's pricey (unless you eat multiple plates of seafood/sushi)

The food was okay. Kind of pricey when you have young kids who don't eat that much. The sushi is okay but nothing to write home about. Also, I liked the variety of stuff they had in cooked foods and salads, but the whole dessert section they used to have was empty.

We heard a couple people suggesting us to come and visit since we really like the "all you can eat" concept for sushi. It was a 30 minutes drive from Boston but totally worth it. The variety of sushi and hit dishes was really good, also the sushi were not mostly rice and just a bit if sushi, they were decent. The value for the money is awesome, with a really good service. That will for aure be our go-to place when we are having lots of sushi around Boston

I must admit, I am not a fan of buffets. That being said, I thought Minado was ok. Sushi was good and a decent variety. The hot food was not hot. Got soft shell crab in tempura, but was close to cold causing the tempura to get heavy and greasy. Crowded. Not a fan of the crowds and thought it was expensive. A beer and glass of wine were reasonably priced. The buffet was $34 each. For the money spent I would rather go to a sushi bar and be waited on. Again not a fan of this eating style, but gave it shot because it was recommended. At least it was a nice day for a drive to Natick.

Seafoods are relatively nice and fresh. The interior design is OK. Around 40 dollars per person for dinner included taxes.
