A lot of buffets closed down during the pandemic. It was nice to see some new buffets starting to open up. Mikado is located in a strip mall in West Hempstead. Ambience - the buffet is large, bright, clean and spacious. We went on a weekday afternoon and it was relatively empty. The servers were friendly. Food - They had the usual fried food station (chicken wings, spring rolls, shrimp, French fries), sushi station, Hibachi station; hot food station, fruit station and dessert station. This is more about quantity than quality, as the food is ok, nothing outstanding. If anything, many of the dishes were starchy and overly sugary and salty. read more

Happy #NationalBuffetDay my parents took my child and I out for my birthday lunch here back in the fall. It was their soft opening. Place was huge and clean. Service was standard but drinks such as hot tea were not included in the price. The food was overall ok, the quality and quantity does not match what is offered the Buffet in College Point or DJ International Buffet in Garden City. There is a slim chance that we will return. read more

For $19.99 a person, you get bang for your buck dining in at Mikado. There's a huge parking lot, so looking for a space won't be an issue. The restaurant itself is sizable, with plenty of seating. It is all-you-can-eat with various options, including sashimi, sushi, cooked oysters with garlic, shrimp cocktail, clams, Chinese food, bubble tea, etc. etc. Yes, I said bubble tea (they do not have boba, but they do have lychee jelly)! My friend and I ordered a drink, then loaded our plates with a ton of seafood and sushi, followed by cooked meats, noodles and fruits. You can't ask for more!

I was able to try this seafood buffet restaurant as I was invited for a birthday celebration which was held in this establishment. There is a designated separate area for small parties which is cool. The place was clean, has a well-maintained environment with spacious dining area. I have noted their extensive food selection which includes sushi, sashimi, cooked seafood like crab and oysters, Chinese dishes, hibachi, and a large dessert station. Almost all the foods that they offer are flavorful, fresh, , satisfying, properly spiced and skillfully cooked. This is a wallet-friendly buffet place. A good spot for a tasty meal without breaking the bank. Staff were nice, observant and pleasant. I have enjoyed everything about my visit, from the delicious food to the professional and friendly staff. I would recommend this place for a special occasion, or just a really great meal out. read more

Who doesn't like a new AYCE buffet spot, so of course I had to check this place out. It's located within the Cherry Valley Shopping Center on Hempstead with ample parking. We were greeted right away as we entered by the hostess who was very friendly and welcoming. It's very spacious inside and they have a lot of options for lunch which was about $13 per person with the 10% dine in discount. The quality and taste for most dishes were very good. There were some I didn't like or wasn't the best. They have hibachi, noodle station and sushi. Sushi was fresh however only one person was making it, so there wasn't a lot to try. Most of the dishes they offered were your standard buffet items. For some reason it was very cold inside and I didn't really get to enjoy much due to the freezing air, hopefully it's fixed soon. I will definitely go back to try the dinner options and see what they offer. Overall, besides the temperature, everything else was great. Also, drinks are not included and it's $2.99. read more

My cousin saw this on Tik Tok so we decided to check it out. We really liked it. For the price, it was impeccable. My sister felt the crabs were questionable, but that was about it. I didn't eat any crabs, but ate everything else and that was on point. The service is excellent. They check in and refill your sodas. The place is clean, spacious, and organized. Definitely a new spot. They are located at a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. It's All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) and it was definitely worth it. Drinks cost extra, but unlimited once you order fountain soda. The sushi was fine -- similar to supermarket sushi. the fried foods (carbs - chicken nuggets, fries, crispy wontons, etc.) were good. The seafood - shrimp, mussels, oysters, cooked oysters, clams, skewers, etc. were all very good. The fruits were good and we ended it with icecream (strawberry shortcake bars). There were a lot of other icecream options (bars, sandwiches, etc.) We didn't get a chance to try the hibachi or pho stations, but that's how much variety this place has. I could definitely see us coming back here and even bringing our other family members here if we are in the area. Great deal!! read more

Good while it lasted, went buy on 1/14/26 and there is a sign that says PERMANTELY CLOSED!!!!!!!!!

I heard about this ayce Asian buffet on TikTok and since my galpal is only 10 minutes away. I said let's give it a try . The price point was very affordable. The hostess was very friendly and the dining area was very clean and modern. Some of the food were frozen premade such as the dim sum. The ribs looked boiled with the bbq sauce on one side of the ribs. There were opened raw clams and oysters. The cooked shrimps were good. The fried rice looked different and tasted different. A lot of fried items, French fries, chicken nuggets, fried fish and fried chicken. One man was slowly making the soup sushi. Drinks cost $2.99 and there was a sign that if you eat in they would take off 10% off your bill. The price point was great. Was the food the best? No. The food was average to below average. Very few food items I liked. I liked the price point but not enough for me to come back. read more

I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo of anything except a small dessert that my husband made for me ! This buffet is all around very good for its price point! There is so many stations that I didn't even get a chance to see everything my first and second round. I would sit down with my family and see things on their plate and ask them where they got it from! The service was AMAZING! They kept asking if we needed anything, water refills etc! The plates were always cleared by the time I got back to the table. The restaurant itself is very clean because of how new it is and the decor is modern! They had dim sum, a pho station, and an entire freezer of frozen ice cream desserts (Hersey brand too!!!) which I never see at normal buffets! The sushi was decent quality not the best but definitely not bad! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend anyone else try it too read more

Mikado - Flan topped with longan - Buffets Near Me - West Hempstead, New York

I was drawn to this newly opened buffet by their low prices. $15 for lunch on weekdays and $24 for weekends?? Unbeatable. Upon entering, I was FREEZING! literally everyone there, including the staff and customers were wearing their jackets from outside and unfortunately it was the coldest day so far this year. I was confused because they never explained why it was so cold, but I assume because their heat wasn't working, but I would've appreciated some transparency at least. However, all was forgotten after I entered the buffet. The entire space is massive and seating is very comfortable. They have rows and rows of various options of food, including seafood, sushi, hibachi, pho, and desserts. Everything was surprisingly pretty good. Some standouts for me were the sushi, cheesy mussels, and salt and pepper squid. I'm so shocked to see how much seafood was offered for such a low price. Despite almost going through frostbite during this meal, I would say it was well worth it. I'm curious to see what the menu looks like for dinner so I will be back. read more

Mikado - Buffets Near Me - West Hempstead, New York

The buffet is like most standard Chinese buffets in the tristate. What sets this place apart is the value (price for food quality). The food quality is better than most similar offerings and this place has the lowest cost buffet for Friday night dinner. It's also a fairly new establishment so everything still feels new unlike DJ's International. Go try it before word gets out! read more

I have been seeing rave reviews about this place and was excited to give it a try. Usually at a cheap AYCE Chinese buffet, my expectations are somewhat low to begin with. I have been to a handful of these types of places. Let me start off by saying I went on a weekday night. Place was empty, food was not being turned over. The good- the place was spotless and the service was good but that's where it ends. My biggest issue with this place was that the hot food was not hot. It was all room temp and the cold food was not kept cold! This made me really worried that I was going to get sick after eating here. I witnessed a few times, the workers bringing out food from the kitchen to fill up the buffet and even the food they are bringing out is not hot. They will see half a dish get depleted and bring a few more pieces out to make the dish at the buffet appear well presented and full. They shouldn't do this at a buffet especially on a night that food is not being consumed at a fast rate. They should wait until the dish is mostly depleted and bring out a fresh new dish. All the sushi rolls were hardening with the avocado browning and you can tell the rolls have been sitting out for some time. Very unappetizing. I decided I wasn't going to eat anymore of the stuff sitting out because I didn't want to get sick and headed to the hibachi table to get some made to order noodles. I grabbed a piece of raw steak and just to see, I lightly touched it and the raw meat wasn't even cold. The hibachi noodles also were too sweet and you can tell had MSG in the sauce. The made to order pho was the only decent item. After deciding we couldn't eat anymore of this, we decided to get ice cream from the case. Even the ice cream was not frozen solid! I would say I would give this place one more try on a busier day but I can't see it getting any better. You get what you paid for. read more

This restaurant is new, so the environment is clean. Service and food are just average, which match the price. However, I won't come back, since the overall quality is not worth to pay for the visit. read more

The food is absolutely DISGUSTING, the regular buffet food was ok. Not so many options and each food item they did have was either empty or half empty. The photo was the hibachi food which was even worse than the buffet portion. Would not recommend!! read more

Food is mediocre, all your typical Chinese take out dishes in buffet style. However, the food is not that fresh, stale and lukewarm. Place is new and clean. Not very crowded on a Friday night, maybe that's why the food doesn't move. Price is decent $19.99 pp. read more

It was nice and clean. The hibachi was excellent as well as the pho station which no other buffet has. The selection of food was tasty but wished they hard a larger selection. There are some things missing that you usually see in other Chinese buffets. Overall for the price and food quality this is a hidden gem. Would definitely go back if I was in the area again. read more

I've been wanting to try this new buffet when passing by the area. I'm giving this place four stars b/c of the cleanliness of the place, friendliness of the waitresses, quality of sweet fresh cantaloupe&honeydew (if you like summer fruits) and food that was fried wasn't too greasy. The food was basically the same things you would get at Chinese buffets. I didn't get to try the sushi, which I'll try nxt time I go. The only thing I was disappointed with was the desserts. Small pieces of cakes&macaroons were dry. I also wish they had more cooked vegetables, not like the usual lettuce, carrots, snow peas...for salads. read more

It was my first time at this restaurant. The server was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is fine. The place offers a good variety of food at reasonable prices. One thing they could improve is the food temperature -- many of the dishes were lukewarm, making them seem not very fresh. read more

Mikado is a great modern upscale dining experience at a bargain price. The interior has a spacious modern design and is very well illuminated, it's a great place to spend time. There's a ton of variety for a chinese buffet, everything I had was definitely a cut above your standard chinese buffet options. The hibachi/bbq quality was also top notch and prepared hot and fresh. I did have two noticeable issues. For number one, all the buffet food was lukewarm, not cold but not hot. To be fair I did go after lunch but before the dinner rush so maybe I just got unlucky. The second issue was that I was there for a little over an hour for my meal and the sushi was being restocked pretty much as I was leaving, the sushi bar while having fresh high quality sashimi I did find lacking with some stale rolls, also as for the choice of the rolls available most were kani based. I would have liked to see more fish options especially since the sashimi was great. read more

Clean and short/no wait time definitely is good. There are many varieties of seafood choices. Both cooked and raw. Sushi and sashimi are pretty standard. Pho and Hibachi are a bit too salty for our taste. Very friendly service. read more

Great value for the buffet, very spacious and clean. Most dishes were very delicious, especially the oysters and the sushi/sashimi! The staff was also very friendly. Would return next time soon. read more

I'm ACYE addict and the buffet had a good selection especially the fresh sushi coming out and customizing the hibachi for those vegan eaters. The place was clean and modern and surprisingly not crowded on the weekends between 6-7pm. The price is on par with the quality plus you get an extra 20% grand opening which hopefully stays. But not super expensive as the other ACYE buffets. Hope the prices don't change- keep it low. I was surprised with the dim sum buns and various seafood dishes- hopefully it rotates keeping it interesting. I really enjoyed the hot food, sushi selection, and fresh hibachi. This review is making me hungry lol! Can't wait to come back ! read more

Came across this buffet from TikTok. The food and service were impeccable. My server Serena treated my family so kindly, I would definitely return. read more

Saw this on one of the TikTok foodies I followed. She swore up and down the place was awesome. Lesson learned! There were literally three aisles of food choices. Most of the salad and deserts. "Fresh"Oyster were small and turned. There were no fresh clams. No lobster, stake or anything worth of mentioning. Fried food items were dried and stale. Soup choices were lumpy. Cream of spinach was like a dried up sheet, you couldn't even cut it. Sushi and Sashimi were the only thing tolerable! I used to think Flaming Grill was bad, guess we have a new winner! Save your money and go anywhere else! DJ buffet, Global buffet, K-city........ read more

First time food was very good hot and fresh .only thing is that some food was a little spicy but sweet tea helped

Please read this. Worst food i have ever eaten at a buffet. Not a single item was good. Whoever rated this place highly online must not have taste buds. As far as the "seafood" there's is literally nothing but shrimp cooked in the worst ways possible. Sevice was ok and the place is too big for the fact that there are no selections of food. read more

This place has been threatening to open for quite some time and today I was driving past and saw an actual open sign on the front of it so I decided to drop in. Very clean, very friendly staff and good selection of food... Everything seemed very fresh and they paid a lot of attention to keeping it that way. read more
