Minado

   Still the king of buffets in MA, Minado rarely disappoints.  Now I know most people don't hold the quality of food at buffets to a very high standard but Minado is the exception in the realm of bland tasteless portions.  Despite the buffet moniker the food is always fresh, not overly salted or heavy, and full of flavor.

   Aside from the quality the variety is pretty exceptional as well, I mainly go for the seafood and sushi but there's a wide assortment of hot entrees too.  There are some food snobs that scoff at the very notion that a buffet can be any good but ignore them, sometimes you just want to relax and chow down until your button bursts and there's no better place to do it than Minado.   The establishment itself is quite large, located right by the Natick Mall with plenty of parking which makes convenience a huge advantage.  Unlike some mainstream buffets Minado offers waiter service for beverages including alcohol, the servers are very attentive and provide little necessities such as drawn butter and claw crackers.

   Overall if you're looking for a buffet in MA, there's no where better than Minado.  Some small notes that people should be aware of is that Oysters go fast and they ask you to only take 5 at a time so please respect the rules for the sake of other patrons.  The quality is great, the price is right, the drive is convenient and the service is pleasant, so what's stopping you from trying this restaurant?

Score: We Loved it! (8/10)
