Dont go to this restaurant and dont get the all you can eat sushi. The owner is monitoring you while you try to enjoy your meal. The waitress told us owner is in the kitchen watching us. I never had bad review, this is first time in life that I am so dissatisfy that I have to post it. We saw good reviews online and purposely invite our friends from Delaware to drive to this restaurant since they love sushi. It was a terrible idea and waste of their time drive all the way to this place and had terrible dinning experience. The food was not fresh and service was terrible. For all you can eat sushi, they put alot rice on the roll so you can full easily. After you order couple times, the waitress stop coming to your table to wait on you, they did that purposely so you can stop ordering and orders takes forever to come. It was a shame on us that we recommend this restaurant and have our friends drive long way to experience this horrible dinning service. Seriously if my friends is not there, I would of just leave restaurant and not stay for the entire dinner. But I dont want to do this since my friends they drive an hour to get here and they are tired and starving. Nevertheless, I will not come back to this place again, for all you can eat sushi close to $30 a person it is high price for terrible service! BTW, owner and everyone work at this Japanese restaurant is native Chinese. You judge how authentic it could be.

Made dinner reservations for 7:45 PM and was served dinner at 8:35 PM. The order was not that big for two people. The sushi chefs and waitresses could tell how disappointed we were for waiting this long. When the food arrived, the quality was good. The tuna was not a deep red like it is supposed to be for sushi, but the sashimi was a deep dark red. Once we finished this plate off, we decided to get another order. This was when things went bad. The quality of the fish and size was disgusting. When I tried to bite into the tuna, it was like a hard jelly and stringy. The care in prepping the food drastically changed. I was gagging to swallow the food. When you would try to pick the sushi up from the plate, the rice would fall apart almost immediately, or it would stick to the serving plate. We asked for regular soy sauce, and they grabbed it from another table that was currently eating food. Very disrespectful. The place was nice with a unique arrangement of tables. On a cold night, I would avoid sitting near the front because the weather will make you freeze. The tables should be much larger. With two people if felt cramped trying to find a placement of where should our plates go. There are better places to go for sushi. I do not plan to return to this place.

Ive been wanting to visit for a long time and finally had a date night at Mino. We decided to try the dinner buffet which is $25 a person. We received a menu where we could check off the items we wanted. We ordered miso soup, seaweed salad, a few appetizers like tempura, gyoza, noodles and shumai. We also ordered 4 rolls whichever was a mixture of raw and cooked rolls. The flavor for everything was really great. The rolls were not made with alot of rice and they had a great amount of ingredients. The specialty rolls they offer on the buffet are mostly all soft which is kind of strange. There was probably 2 that were only tempura, and many had crab ( imitation). Even so we had some of the raw and it tasted good too. I think since we ordered a whole lot to begin with we did not see any reason to see delay in our orders. We ended our evening with red bean, matcha, and chocolate ice cream. We definitely will be going back.

DO NOT EAT HERE. I live locally and ate dinner here on 3/19/16. Very, very, very poor service. Food is average. There are a lot better sushi bars and Japanese restaurants in Ardmore. Our food was served 35 minutes later, just in time as we were already thinking of leaving. The waitress who took our order never even bothered to update us on the status of our order (shrimp bento box at $21.95 and steak hibachi dinner at $18.95) nor apologized for the delay. We would have understood that theyre busy if the waitress had the courtesy of informing us. Also, two groups of diners, who were already in the midst of eating their meals, were asked to relocate to another seating area because there was a big group that just came in. HORRIBLE!!!! They should have asked the group that just came in to patiently wait. I WILL NEVER EAT IN THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!!

NO accommodation s for people with bariatric surgery forcing me and my boyfriend to have to disassemble the maki roles so I could eat the fish and the bf ate the rice and avocado. We were denied the option to order the 10 dollar more ALCE dinner for me which included just fish (as I cant have rice). We were denied the option to get sheets of seaweed paper so I can just wrap the raw fish in them, wanted to charge 50 cents a shhet of seaweed and I was denied the ability to get a veggie roll with no rice. Used to love this place before my surgery but cant subject myself to that again. Not accommodationng at all even if it mean they made more $ considering I could only eat about 1 cup of anything for a meal Due to my surgery.

If you are looking for a great meal that is $25, all you can eat, made to order sushi/hibachi and is BYOB, then look no farther. This is by far my favorite place to eat sushi. It is quality ingredients, great service and a great decor which they recently updated. And how can you beat that price? Their white tuna is the best I have ever had and their pork gyoza is out of this world. If you love sushi and live within 50 miles, I would recommend this place highly. I wish there were more starts to give it, because I would.

I have had Sushi all of the country and this is by far my favorite spot. I bought a Chiropractic business just down the road in September of 2014, and started trying different restaurants. Mino has become a staple. The all you can eat Sushi menu is awesome. Its not just full of simple rolls like Philadelphia and California. They have a huge selection of specialty rolls on there all you can eat. You wont be disappointed

I was a regular at Mini for lunch and after the last two experiences I would highly recommend NOT to go there. The place is an operation nightmare in regards to service. You have to wait over an hour just to get food. They are understaffed and it shows. We had to leave due to time constraints, yet paid in full. They have no remorse or any indication of solving the long wait time issue.

I never liked sushi, but my family told me they had other things on the menu. I decided to give the all-you-can-eat a try. I LOVE their sushi...so much that I want to go once a week. Lunch is $10 less than dinner. The AUCE menu includes spring rolls and other things besides sushi as well. Best spring rolls Ive ever had, and now Im a sushi lover...at this place!
