Talk about being lucky! Was I talking about being lucky? Well, I lucked out when my hunger pangs urged me to check sushi nearby on Yelp after getting into CT and on I-84N for a bit. Off the beaten path, into the beautiful hills and woods, is this town of Heritage Village I'll have to further explore someday. For now, it's All You Can Eat for $32! Lucky me!! The service was out of control great, especially considering how busy the restaurant is. The whiteboard menu and marker checklist is so smart and fun a concept. It invites gluttony and that's refreshing in these pricey days of eating out. You also feel free to explore menu items you might not if Ala carte pricing. I was also astatic to see plentiful wasabi and ginger on my plate. I've usually experienced cutbacks on these items with AYCE or BOGO deals. The clincher in my love for this place was being asked if I wanted the menu again for more. Lucky me read more

I honestly don't know how this place has 4.2 stars. It was not good. The service was nice, and AYCE deal is good. But sushi tasted low quality...even their soy sauce was sweet, didn't even taste like soy sauce. Their cooked food was subpar as well. I've had so much better sushi in ct. I will not be retuning here read more

I order pretty basic foods. Chicken teriyaki plain no veggies and chicken and steak hibachi plain no veggie and no noodles just extra fried rice plain. Simple. Even said not to give us soup or salad to not waste food as we will just throw away. Everything came with veggies. Soup and salad included in bags. No extra rice but everything covered in veggies. NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN. PAID $87 for food I couldn't eat. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Great place an amazing waitresses that were attentive and got your food out quickly. This restaurant is located In a complex's that is a bit hard to find the restaurant but we figured it out We opted for the all you can eat option. This restaurant seems to have much better hot options compared to other all you can eat sushi. Here the sushi fish quality wasn't amazing the tuna was chewy and the combo rolls and tuna pizza were packed w bread crumbs galore. The ambiance is darker but clean They take credit card and you will be charged if you are wasteful with food When we think all you can eat sushi we are there for the fish the hot food is just a bonus so we won't be back. read more

All you can eat sushi option for $33 per person???? Yes please! Included was appetizers, salads, pad thai, fried rice, and a whole menu of sushi to choose from. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options. You must eat what you order or there will be a charge, to avoid food waste. Came here after skiing Mohawk Mtn that was the best choice everrrrr for a post ski meal. It was pretty packed inside, so I recommend making a reservation. So good and fresh, will be back. read more

AMAZING Sushi! My friends and I did all you can eat sushi. Every single roll was amazing. Super fresh and delicious. I would love to come back here. read more

An excellent all you can eat sushi spot! Kinda off the beaten path, this restaurant is still convenient located close to an I-84 exit so don't let the drive stop you if you're further away. The interior is minimally decorated with several booths, tables, sushi bar and regular bar. Went in on a Saturday night without reservations and waited about 30 mins for a group of 4. Once you sit, you are presented the AYCE menu (which you fill out with a dry erase marker!) as well as the a La carte traditional menu. Every bite of fish was fresh, tender, and vibrant. My favorite was probably the yellowtail. If you're not into sushi, the AYCE menu includes hot kitchen food like miso soup, general tso chicken, lo mein and gyoza. The server was attentive which is all you can wish for at a place like this - get your money's worth! Highly recommend trying out this spot! read more

My wife and I have been learning to like sushi and after recently passing this place on the way to Guardians Farm (check them out) I decided I wanted to come in. We brought our two and 11 year olds which probably wasn't the best move, especially for the two year olds it was a bit much and took away from us being able to concentrate on the menu. I ended up getting the all you can eat sushi but my favorite things were the pork gyozo and crab rangoon appetizers. My kids both had noodle dishes that they tolerated but didn't love. My wife had the shrimp with walnut sauce which she liked and was a very large portion. Would definitely come back to explore more. read more

Minami Sushi - Mango Tango Southbury Roll and Sweet Potato Roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

I was excited to find out there was a quality all you can eat sushi place not far from me. There is parking in the front and the back, only one entrance. Very clean and a great atmosphere. The entire staff are friendly and attentive. I've been here during the week and at busy times on weekend. The quality is always the same. You can get all you can eat, or order from the regular menu. I like all you can eat option because you can try a little of everything. Lots of great kitchen choices and specialty rolls. My favorite was the New Milford. The tempura shrimp and jalapeños are a great combo. Favorite menu item is the Fried Cheese Wonton. They go down really easy. My recent visit I noticed they have fried ice cream. Choice of vanilla, chocolate or green tea. Very inexpensive way to finish off a great meal. Definitely stop in if you want great sushi and a plethora of options. read more

I've only done takeout here but the sushi is always fresh and delicious. I love the three roll lunch special during the week and it comes with miso soup and a small side salad with the delicious ginger dressing. This is definitely a go to for me and would love to try their AYCE sushi one day. The service is always great and takeout is pretty quick. read more

Polite, welcoming, inviting, patient, and comforting are all words I'd use to describe the overall experience here. The inside was clean, and simple. The service was on time, and attentive, and helpful. The food was of great quality, I tried everything I could. To top it all off, you know what you're paying, one flat rate. It was a good time, I would one hundred percent go back. My favorite items here were the udon noodles, and the salmon skin salad. SOO good read more

I ignored the few bad reviews on this spot because I'm here solo for a work trip and really wanted to try another AYCE spot and this was a 50 min drive from my hotel. It's Valentine's Day so I had a bit of a wait which was to be expected but after a half hour I was almost ready to call it quits but this couple started complaining to the host about their wait and complaining loudly about this family's kids in the waiting spot. Which, the family could have controlled the kids a bit in this tiny space, but they're kids. So the couple, the family, and another boyfriend waiting all started yelling at each other literally right in front of me standing there waiting, which wasn't a great feeling. I was about to leave but then I finally got seated. Once seated, the waitress seemed like she wanted to be literally ANYWHERE else. It's a bummer when you come somewhere and pay for the AYCE but then she never brought the menu back to order another round, didn't refill the soy sauce, never refilled my water. This was just a really bad experience all around. Happy Valentine's Day read more

I loved this place, very big and open inside. The sushi chefs are in the middle of the restaurant and you can see everything being made. I got the All You Can Eat, it's the best deal for what you get.. you get soo many options compared to other places I've been to. The food is fresh, flavorful, and served at the right temperatures. The service was quick and efficient. My sprite was always full. Everything was delicious and I'd love to come back and try more items! The sushi is such a large portion, I had left one piece of each that I couldn't eat. They don't charge for waste within reason. But overall for what you get, you'd make out pretty well. Just two special rolls is more than the price of the AYCE. Definitely a no brainer. read more

I have 3 words for you. Honey Walnut Shrimp!!!!! My favorite all time choice and not all places make it. Minami does,, and it's too die for! I also love their Wonton soup, and the sushi rolls of course. This is our favorite Sushi place in this area. Definitely recommend! read more

Minami is my closest all you can eat sushi spot, and I couldn't be happier! A great variety of Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes in addition to all of the sushi. Everything was great quality and delicious! Friendly staff and the restaurant was very clean. We will definitely return! read more

This place is a shining star in a sea of just-okay restaurants. We recently moved out of the area, but while living in Woodbury, we ate here many times--and it was consistently excellent. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The all-you-can-eat sushi is fresh, well-prepared, and reliably good. Here's a helpful tip for families dining with kids: Ask for two all-you-can-eat menus. Use one to place your appetizer and sushi orders right away. Then, when the appetizers arrive, submit the second menu with the kids' order--this helps ensure their food comes out around the same time as the sushi, which makes for a smoother dining experience when you've got little ones in tow. One small note: the dining area is usually quite cold, likely to keep the sushi fresh, so we recommend bringing a light jacket if you're sensitive to cooler temps. We will truly miss eating here. It's a rare gem, and we wish we could take it with us. read more

Love this place! I was skeptical about an "all you can eat" sushi bar and the price seemed high, but when I showed up with 4 teenage boys, we definitely got our money's worth. The food was fresh, properly prepared, and generally delicious. We placed orders 4x throughout our visit and everything came out consistently delicious. We have been back several times and have been equally pleased with both the food and service. read more

So, got a tip on this place and man am I glad we went. Comfortable atmosphere and I was really impressed with how good the food was. I was hungry so I tried out there all you can eat deal for $30 bucks. I got two special rolls, general so's chicken, Asian calamari, tuna tar tar, shrimp fried rice. It was all super tasty. The rolls were full size and amazing, the other items were smaller orders but not small. There are some rules around the deal, but they are fair. My wife had fried dumplings One daughter 2 salmon regular rolls One daughter had steak hibachi with lo mein noodles. (Which were really good). Went on a Tuesday night and it was very busy or server Ivana handled herself very well under a heavy work load. Worth your money and time! read more

Delicious food, friendly service. The best AYCE sushi in CT! The kitchen menu is good too, definitely get the fried squid. Clean and relaxed environment with plenty of parking. read more

Delicious all-you-can-eat sushi...uh YES! Really cool place. Food was fresh. There was almost no one in there on a Wednesday afternoon. Which doesn't explain why the service was a little less attentive as one would usually like...but maybe they were just tired. I would go back though. You can't beat the price! read more

A tiny little spot in an awkward basement type layout. Although they've done their best with the interior, it looks fairly modern but it's dark, which IMO is uncomfortable. The edamame in spicy chili oil was good. My spider roll was pretty good not the tightest roll I've had. I don't like that they put mango sauce or mayonnaise spiced sauce on everything. So I made sure to order without it. The short rib ramen, at a hefty $35 a bowl, was more than enough for two meals. The broth needed some more richness which should be typical of good ramen. Service was brisk but accommodating. read more

Fun place. AYCE was great. Will come back in the near future. Hot sake was ok. Dumplings and fried rice were great. Nice atmosphere.

This restaurant offers a large menu selection of appetizers, sushi/sashimi, kitchen entrees, noodle dishes and more! They give you a dry erase menu and market for you to order as much as you can eat! The sushi was very fresh tasting! I will have to go back and try kitchen entrees! This AYCE spot was deff superior to some of the ones I've been to because of the added kitchen entree options. read more

My kids have been here and told us this is the goto spot. We decided to try it out. We should have called for reservations as it was crazy busy and we waited 45 mins for a table as there was 6 of us. Since this was a a few days after Xmas, we figured it would be a wait everywhere else. The host was wonderful as she has given us 10% off and rounds of sake on the house as she recognized my daughter always eating there. Our sushi took a bit of time to come out as they had run out of rice. read more

Minami Sushi - All you can eat platter - Asian Fusion Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

As far as the Sushi quality the food was not appetizing. The selection consisted of all "spicy" versions which meant the fish was all mashed and masked by sauce. The rolls were all warm. I eat sushi 2x a week and wanted to like this place for its convenience. I tried. It 4 x and none of the all you can eat experience was worth it. Only friends I know that live this place don't eat sashimi or real sushi. If you want cooked food this is your place. If you love cooked food this is your place. Huge portions and variety. Service is good and they are friendly. However based on sushi alone I would not recommend and instead would take the drive to Sushi House in Plantsville. read more

Absolutely LOVE Minami Sushi in Southbury. We have been frequent customers since the day they opened (lunch, dinner, all you can eat, all of it!) Their all you can eat menu is such a wonderful value with SO many options to choose from. They have always provided constant fresh offerings, delicious in flavor and we always get excited to return. There is plenty of parking outside and we have never had much of problem with getting a table or bar spot. If you go with a larger party it is worth calling ahead/reservations especially on weekends now that they have become more well known. The staff is wonderful especially the main crew who has been there since the start-- the ladies know us well and are always so kind. The movement of food and service for food items is quick and when tables empty they are fast to clean. We never have anything but good things to say about this spot, it is always our number one pick for Sushi! read more

Unlimited sushi is a simple concept, but it's hard to find. Well, now it's here, open in Heritage Village where the old Friendly's was, redecorated to match the new tenants. The chefs are masters, cranking out plate after plate of this stuff. They made traditional rolls, house specials, and everything in between. If you don't like raw seafood, they mark which sushi rolls contain it. They also have a full kitchen and a large menu for anyone not interested in sushi. read more

Great food finally find real Chinese food. Chicken chow mein has noodles. Best honey walnut prawns ever!!!!

Super sushi! Ate in twice and did take out a third time. The tuna and salmon sashimi; sushi rolls and special rolls are fantastic. Seaweed salad is delicious. Octopus sashimi was not as good as the others. The restaurant has become very popular and rightly so. Only downside is it can be very loud. But the take out is easy to order online; well prepared, nicely packaged and generous with extras like ginger. read more

Cute establishment! Hip and modern, clean and inviting. Very excited to try Update: we've been 3 times now since we found out about this place. The sushi is beyond delicious. I would list a few to recommend but quite frankly I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices on the AYCE menu. The service is phenomenal too. They're great at checking in on you and ask if you need a refill on your drink. Highly recommend but also hesitant to admit how good this place is for fear we'll never get a table read more

The fish is not fresh.Not presented well. Poorly trained shushi "chefs". Highly rated because it's all you can eat and Americans like quantity over quality. Will never eat there again. Even my 16 year old grandson thought it was terrible. read more
