We decided to pay a visit to the recently opened Minado tonight. Though I had read the reviews, it was not enough to prepare me for the scale of the restaurant, one more appropriate to Las Vegas than midtown Manhattan -- a seemingly endless buffet and an airy dining room large enough to seat 500. The seafood is fresh and plentiful, and service friendly and attentive. Obviously not the best sushi available in the city, but it's also far from the worst. Minado is definitely worth experiencing at least once.
