I remember I first came to Mizumi my first time over 10 years ago, but my last visit was 2 years ago. Coming back this time, I still enjoy it! But I do recommend coming earlier, otherwise they have a lot less food later at night. I really like their wide variety of buffet and they have quite a bit of sushi options. If you don't like sushi, they also have a pretty extensive cooked food as well as desserts as well! read more

Finally revisited Mizumi on Northern Blvd after many years, hoping to satisfy our sushi cravings. Instead, about an hour later, I was satisfying my bathroom's occupancy requirements... Let me backtrack. My wife and I arrived exactly at 12:06 PM on a weekday. The staff greeted us warmly, the place was clean and organized just like I remembered, and yes, they have high chairs for the little ones. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. Usually with AYCE, there's at least one or two dishes that make you think, "Yep, I'm going back for this." Here, nothing really stood out as delicious. They have some interesting creations, including sushi made with pesto rice, and many rolls have a Western-fusion twist. Creative? Definitely. Delicious? Not quite there for me. The hot food was okay, although some of the fried items were aggressively salty. I thought, "Let me cleanse my palate with some warm miso soup." NOPE. That was salty too. The bulgogi and kalbi were also noticeably on the sweeter side. The Korean-style wings had soggy skin. Then came the raw oyster. It did not taste fresh at all. I took half a bite, swallowed some, and immediately knew something was wrong. I had to spit out the rest. The unfreshness hit me faster than a New Yorker rushing for the subway. I spent the next hour praying I wouldn't get KO'd in the bathroom. Unfortunately, prayer was not answered. And this was my first meal of the day, so I'm pretty confident it wasn't anything else I ate beforehand. We tried to end lunch on a sweet note with the strawberry ice cream. Sadly, it tasted very artificial. At this point, I was just looking for something, ANYTHING, to redeem the meal. And the winner of the day was... The GREEN TEA in a tea bag. Seriously. That was the thing I genuinely enjoyed the most. I really wanted to love this revisit, but between the underwhelming food and the oyster experience that sent me on an unexpected bathroom adventure, I'm giving Mizumi 2 stars. Maybe it was just an off day, but I'm not sure my stomach is brave enough for a sequel. read more

terrible food. "fresh" clams tasted spoiled. mussels were terrible. fried fish was soggy. couldn't eat much of what they had. spoke with the manager up front and stated that we could not eat most of the food but he insisted that all of the food was made fresh. As per the service, it was ok.. like any other all you can eat buffet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]place was kind of loud, but was still able to hold a conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely NOT recommend just because of the food. read more

I've been coming here for ages and for the first time, I left dissatisfied. Nothing really was tasty. The sushi, hot food, soups and salad were underwhelming. Not sure if anything had changed but I didn't leave happy. If the name of the game is quantity, then this is your spot. If you're looking for a good meal that's quality, then look elsewhere. read more

There were eight of us with reservations and we were seated as soon as the complete party arrived. The buffet had a very large section on sushi, a rather small section on sashimi. Mostly emphasis on seafood. In the hot section there enough selection to satisfy most people. Only down side was the platter was not replenished in a timely manner. Many platter remained mostly empty. The hot noodle bar had a lot of selection. Overall, plenty to eat and to choose from. read more

Selection of food is amazing. They have so much sushi !! delicious. !!! Great service. Also there's always someone to help you there.

Their selection is pretty good, but honestly, I've had better. I wasn't really crazy about the taste and freshness of the fish, but for a buffet, it sufficed. There is a time limit, so plan accordingly. They also have a credit surcharge, so bring cash if you can. They do have a pretty decent sized parking lot, but getting in was a little confusing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and the staff is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good for groups of people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was my first time at Mizumi in Little Neck, NY and I had a great experience. We came for lunch on a weekday and there was no wait. They have a variety of Japanese food including sushi, seafood, but also salads, fruits, and soft serve. I loved that they had sake sashimi for lunch. It was good. I also really liked their Al Bap, which had a combination of different fish roe, veggies, and a small piece of cooked salmon. I enjoyed the kale salad, baked mussels, miso soup, chilled tofu, clams, shrimp, chocolate chip cookies, and soft serve. I know it sounds like a lot, but there was so much more. They had a large selection of sushi rolls and nigiri as well. I ate so much, they had to roll me out of the restaurant, lol, j/k. Mizumi was very satisfying for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and enjoyable to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was attentive with our drinks. This was a great experience dining at Mizumi. read more

I took my friend here to celebrate her birthday on Sunday night @5pm. The food was pretty good, there were lots of hot food plus sushi and sashimi. The beef short ribs, pan seared scallops, fried soft shell crabs and fried blue crabs were delicious. We had some snow crab legs, however due to the fact that it was Father's Day, the line to get food was very long! We were enjoying our food until the waiter and waitress kept asking us to leave 20 minutes before our time was up. Considering it was just the two of us, I feel it was unnecessary to harass us multiple times before our time is up! read more

It has been a long time since I been to Mizumi. We had a large party so we made a reservation for dinner. It is recommended to make a reservation because we came at open in for dinner and it was already packed. They have a big selection of hot food and sushi. There is plenty for you to choose from. Not a large selection of desserts but they have enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

MIZUMI.... Food food food food and more food.... It's buffet style so come here hungry....If not there's a Burger King 3-5 mins away you can go there.... Parking lot is fairly large so parking shouldn't be an issue.... Like I said if you can eat and your hungry come in and get your eat on.... read more

I must have been reminded about tipping multiple times by different waitresses, even had one chase me up the front desk as I was going to pay that tip isn't included in the bill. Last time I was there a couple years ago when they still had the hotpot, it was ok. Now food is just mediocre, too much fried items, like french fries, fried breaded chicken, etc. Nothing special here, this place has just gone downhill in terms of food and service. Such a shame! read more

We tried Mizumi for the first time today. In my opinion, the reason to go here is for the sushi. They have an impressive array and it was very good. They also had a number of original rolls I had not tried before. Also, the pork belly, chicken and beef were very good. After that, I would also say that the service was good. They refilled our drinks often and didn't rush us, the two basic needs for a buffet service. They were also friendlier than a lot of buffets I've been to, especially with our young children. Now for the cons, I was not really impressed with a number of their other selection. The raw bar elements (clams, sashimi, squid, mussels) did not really taste that fresh to me. They have what I would consider a very limited dessert menu with just a few sweet options. Only having blue crab was also kind of a bummer. I believe they have other shellfish at night but I was expecting more. They think the flavor profiles was more original than other buffets we've been to but overall I would say the food was just ok. I would recommend it for a sushi lover but probably not if you are more excited for the other food options read more

Came here for the all you can eat dinner for $45 pp. I had lots of salmon sashimi and they were alright, nothing exceptional.

We came back here as we always stopped by when passing through Queens 10+ years ago when we lived in the area. It was still really delicious and has a great variety of foods and sushi on the buffet. Service was friendly and they didn't even mind that we were dragging carryon luggage with us on our way to the airport. Price was steep as always but they did offer a small cash discount, so keep that in mind. It was really far out of the way via bus so we might not make the trek again if we don't have a rental. read more

Dinner | $43 Came here last night for my sisters birthday, we were a party of 13. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food- PHENOMENAL, atmosphere- GREAT![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food- All of the seafood tastes great, good quality flavorful. All of the meats perfectly cooked many other buffets over cook the meat but not here! Steak was perfectly medium rare, galbi tasted great not super fatty like other places. Ramen- tonkotsu soup base so rich and creamy, salad bar amazing! Family members who never eat salad enjoyed the salad here! Desserts weren't a hit but we were able to overlook that. Service- Great.. at first.. the host was a nice dressed friendly Asian man, we felt welcome the second we walked in. The issue was with the waitress (a Hispanic woman didn't get her name) she brought out the cake with the candle lit with 40 minutes left of out 90m buffet. Just visualize this..... everyone was still eating, plates weren't cleared, people were missing from the table... (shocked, surprised) we all sang happy birthday then we asked her to take the cake back bc people were still eating. Then she drops the check off on the table..... (we didn't ask for either of these btw) then we ask for the cake and she said she can't bring it out bc there's no time left.... (Wtf) Appalled we spoke with the nice gentleman host and he told us there must have miscommunication and we can stay until closing if needed (it was about 820 now I assume there was no one waiting for any tables at this point they close at 930) and can indeed cut the cake. I have the say they handled this situation in the best way possible which is why I took only 1 star off. A new waiter (tall Asian man, and a bus boy) took GREAT care of us, refilled teas, cut and handed out the cake and truly made the rest of this experience so much better after the first waitress left a sour taste in our mouths. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY maybe I'd avoid that waitress (maybe she could have handled it differently) bc the rest of the staff made it better!! Love that they went back to the way Mizumi first ran before COVID read more

Came here for a family birthday celebration and had the private area to ourselves. Selection was good, and the sushi options were tasty and fresh. Surprisingly, the sushi rice was perfectly warm and well seasoned. Their clams in black beans were also delicious. Oysters were bad though, very fishy and watery. Had to spit it out. Loved the froyo machine also so definitely had a couple cups of those. read more

My husband and some friends dined here about 2 months ago to celebrate his birthday. It's about an hour and change driving distance from Brooklyn. It is also accessible by LIRR. It is located across the street from Alley Pond Park Bar and grill. My husband had been wanting to do to a buffet style restaurant for a while and we finally made it happen. The restaurant is just off the highway and has ample parking on the premises. Once you enter, you are greeted by the staff and taken to your table of you reserved. FYI: best to reserve if you have 5 or more people in your party. They have various vegetarian to non vegetarian salads that include some seafood ingredients. They also have sushi, seafood like Crab legs, Crab cakes, shrimp, etc. They have chicken, beef, pork and fish dishes as well as little cakes and frozen yogurt as dessert. We paid about $40-45 per person. I think it is reasonable considering how many food options were available. read more

I often came here since I was a kid, but over the years, I'm sad to say that the quality and variety of foods offered at the buffet is disappointing. They started incorporating individual hot pots, so many of the ingredients are just frozen ones rather when they used to have a wide selection of hot foods. The sushi quality has also decreased significantly, and the desserts also reduced to a limited quantity. They had rows and rows of different flavored cakes, but last time I came, there were only two available. It's not as busy, and the staff are quite attentive and friendly. But I wouldn't go back due to the lack of variety and quality at a buffet of this price. read more

This place was a little far. To get here, a car would be preferable, but you can also take the bus from Flushing. I came here for lunch and it was $33 per person. I also ordered a pepsi which was refillable. There was no wait (we went at 1pm on a Sunday) and got seated immediately. We were told there is a 90 minute time limit so we got started right away. It's always worth it to hit up the sushi bar since they have such fresh fish and seafood. My favorite was the tiny dish of salmon they offered as well as the other fresh fish. For hot foods, the fried chicken was juicy. We ended with some small desserts and frozen yogurt (either vanilla or strawberry). I docked a star because we felt a little rushed. They gave us our bill not even an hour into our buffet and we felt like they were hovering over us, but overall the experience was good. read more

Great Asian AYCE buffet! There was a wide variety of hot foods, sushi, seafood, salads/cold plates, and many desserts. We went during Lunar New Year on a Saturday, and they had a special $43 all day promotion going on from 11 am to 9 pm. We knew there were going to be a lot of people, so we got there at around 4:30 for a pretty early dinner. The decor was clean and modern, and there were pretty rose petals right as we walked in. There was Pelicana fried chicken + more fried food, egg rolls, a grand selection of beef, salmon, sea bass, lots of chicken, and many seafood options such as crab legs, oysters, clams, and raw fish. The sushi and sashimi collection was massive, and they had a lot of great options: I liked the angel roll the best. My favorites by far were the short rib (super tender and flavorful), salmon, crab legs (YUM!), crab cakes, and broccoli (yes, vegetables). Definitely a good place to visit when you are in your buffet mood! Note: you are warned at the beginning by the waiter that you have only 90 minutes to eat. It kind of caught me off guard, and it made me feel like it was some sort of race. 90 minutes is a lot of time, but also when I was eating, I noticed it went by pretty fast. Also at 5pm on this particular Saturday, there was already a line out the door. So plan accordingly! read more

Mizumi - Little Neck, NY One of the longest-standing buffets on Northern Blvd, Mizumi continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. From its early days as a classic sushi buffet to its pandemic-era bento boxes, and now its bold dual concept of sushi and hot pot, this place has kept things fresh and exciting. Weekday pricing sits around $37 per person, while weekends climb to $45--a bit steep, but the fresh seafood, new oyster selections, and rotating sushi options make it worth every bite. The salad bar is always crisp, and while the fried items can be hit or miss, the overall spread is impressive. The management team works hard to keep things running smoothly, and it shows. Special shoutout to the tall Asian waiter who's been there since the beginning--a true gem. He's kind, vibrant, and moves like he genuinely loves his job. That kind of consistency and care is rare and deserves recognition. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is perfect for family gatherings, with plenty of seating and a clean, welcoming vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just a heads-up: don't arrive starving, or you'll fill up on rice and miss the premium bites. Mizumi has stood the test of time--and I'll definitely keep coming back. Boomsauce Scale: B - basura (trash) BS - basic (come on! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ - Amazing location! now that's boomsauce! Trust me--I am vegan. read more

Had dinner here and very experience here. I was in the mood for sushi and friend of mine suggested to come here. for a buffet, the sushi was really good. fresh. decent options too. had few sashimi options, lots of rolls and nigiri. they have a beet infused salmon. first time and it was tasty. touch of sweetness. they replenish the sushi/sashimi area often too so didn't worry if it was sitting there too long. additional food options include the usual fare you would see at a buffet but definitely higher level so price is worth it. lots of options...lots of shellfish...clams baked and in black bean sauce, big shrimp options. crab dishes...also meat eaters..got pork belly, ribs, beef teriyaki. got salad bar with nice assortments. oh and desserts. cakes are cut in bite size so can try them all! got fruit, jello and frozen yogurt which was yummy end. serve coffee and there is a decent alcohol selection for drinks. Servers were very good. refilled, cleaned up...professional and helpful. parking lot available whoo! will go again! read more

This was a nice all. You can eat buffet with sushi and other Japanese foods, but I would say that it's not fully worth it for the price. If you want to come here, you should get here early. I got here right around 530 and it opens at 5 o'clock. I experienced no wait I did pretty much immediately on arrival, which was very nice and quick. Immediately, when you sit down, the waiter comes over and takes care of your drinks. The variety of food was very good, but they definitely are missing some items and not everything. Is that great. I personally think that they should've had a larger selection because the buffet is a little bit small. Thankfully, we did not run into the problem of food items running out, but I could see you later into the evening that this could probably happen if the restaurant was more busy. I would come back, but I would probably hunt for a better Asian buffet. read more

We came here on a Sunday for lunch. We were excited to hear they returned to the normal hot dishes and sushi. Previously, I've been here with my family as well. During the pandemic, they introduced hot pot. While many people that I personally knew said the addition of hot pot made things worse since they got rid of many of the hot dishes, I did not think it was that bad. Parking is free since they have their own parking lot. It's right on Northern Boulevard so it's fairly convenient. It was not packed around the time we went (1:40-1:50 PM). Peak lunch hours are most likely much more busy. Around 2:45 PM, the kitchen closes for lunch so the staff can eat and prepare for the dinner shift. I highly recommend coming at least an hour before this happens. I completely forgot about the shift change and we got here around 1:50. As for the food, the sushi was not bad. I was not expecting omakase-level sushi, just sushi buffet level with sashimi, and it sufficed. The hot dishes - seafood soup, miso soup, fried calamari, katsu pork, and the various seafood options (clams, oysters, mussels, crabs) were absolutely delicious. There were plenty that I forgot to name. I love the soft-serve yogurt machine.. haha. Obviously, the rule of thumb is don't eat too many carbs if you want to get your money's worth on buffet food. This is definitely a step up when it comes to the cheap buffets. Service is fine. They are attentive with water, soda, spoons, forks, and napkins. It's definitely a place with better service compared to other buffets out there. The servers are also quite personable. Definitely worth a stop once in a while, but go at a good time. read more

We came on a Saturday when they opened for lunch and it wasn't crowded. There were tons of food to eat and the spread was neat and clean. There weren't a line. We sat comfortably and the seating weren't tight. The cooked food was good, but surprisingly, my favorite was the mango salad with arugula. There were many options of food to pick from and a little bit of everything will fill you up. The service was extremely attentive and quick. The only disappointment was, they don't offer senior discount anymore. But overall, I will return! read more

Went on a Monday night. No wait. Plenty of seats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is big so great for large parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price is $40 a person week day night Mon- Thurs not including tax or tip. Large parking lot They no longer have hot pot but have a variety of rolls, salads, soups and hot food. The cold items were good- from the selection of rolls to the raw bar were fresh and the staff constantly refilled. They had raw fish over rice in small bowls which was very good. Food was good but my only complaint was that the "hot" food was luke warm so items like tempura/fried shrimp/ fried chicken/fried soft shelled crabs were so so. Other "warm" food had decent items to choose from. Kalbi/pork belly/gyoza etc.. For dessert there are mini cakes/cookies/fruit and soft serve frozen yogurt Staff was great.

Fresh crab and oysters, salads, fried food, sushi, soup and noodles, dessert. I've heard some pelicana chicken is halal but likely not the one being served there. The sushi looked a little old and there were so many with mayo or a thick sauce that was drying up. The oysters weren't shucked that well and mine had some crumbly pieces. Loved that there was shrimp fried rice and mochi. Price is acceptable given the options but I think my Gingerale was $7? read more

We've been here a few times, most recently this past Saturday for lunch. The variety was good and quality was great imo. There was something for everyone and it was all very tasty. I would take off a half star - we were looking forward to the hotpot but they've discontinued it - but can't rate halfsies and I think four would be unfair. The servers circulated frequently - clearing plates, refilling the hot water for my tea, and checked was everything alright. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The buffet and dining areas are spacious so it didn't feel crowded. Dining is separated into several different areas which also leads to not feeling crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is ample parking.

This used to be one of the best buffets in the NYC area. We had the repass after my mother's funeral here, as I thought so highly of it. Sadly, upon visiting post pandemic, a large swath of the cooked food section was replaced with hot pot. The last thing NYC needs is another hot pot place. With so much of the variety gone and replaced with hot pot. No longer worth the price. read more
