This is my second time here. The food is pretty fresh, but today's crab has a slightly strange taste! Both my kids and my elderly parents really liked it

When you want great quality sushi this is the place. Everything that they put out is amazing. This place has been around for a long time and the food is still great. Tells you a lot about this place. Can't wait to come back here.
The food was good. The staffs are attentive and takes our plates away pretty quickly. 90 mins is pretty much all you'll have, so don't talk too much. That was my mistake and at the end of 90mins, I wasn't full. It's all good, I shouldn't be eating that much anyway. They have a good variety of different food and most dishes are pretty good. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The food here is quite good, but there is one Asian female staff member whose service is absolutely terrible. She brought me the bill before I had even finished eating; her attitude was very poor, and it seemed as though she was trying to rush me out simply because I was eating a lot. She even stood there staring at me while I ate. She left me with an extremely negative impression—insisting that an 18% tip was mandatory—and because of this unpleasant experience, I chose not to leave such a large tip. This encounter left such a lasting negative impression on me that I will not be returning to this restaurant. In any case, there are plenty of other buffet restaurants in the vicinity that offer both better service and better food, so I can just as easily go dine at one of those instead.
Great establishment. Overall have nothing but great things to say about Mizumi. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the tuna tartare and octopus ceviche. The food is fresh, has great taste and flavor. The ownership, management and staff is run very well and they truly know how to run a great business. Definitely won't be disappointed coming to Mizumi. Grade A experience.
Overall, the time at the restaurant was great. Food and service was amazing. The problem is my girlfriend got food poisoning and was hospitalized. She got salmonella from the food that was served. Probably won’t be returning which is unfortunate because the atmosphere and service was amazing, just wish the food didnt get my girlfriend sick.
We celebrated a birthday here and had a great experience. The price was $43 per person for all-you-can-eat, and kids are half price, which makes it a very good value.<br><br>There was a wide variety of food - different types of sushi, crab, shrimp, wagyu, and plenty of other seafood options. Everything tasted fresh and was constantly being refilled.<br><br>The restaurant was clean and well organized, and the atmosphere was comfortable for a celebration. Service was smooth, and we didn’t need a reservation.<br><br>Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality buffet with fresh seafood and great variety.

Very bad attitude my waitress. We have been there 12/25 and my party is 6ppl but they sit us before our party is complete. That means those late people have to be rush to finish their food when they have arrived. Forget how long we have spent on that table and waitress bring me a bill means to pay. I have opened it and there was a printed bill with detail and a hand write TIP and TOTAL with 2 circles. She did not motion nothing about it why is that or how to understand it. I was using my phone to account it couple times and can not get that number. And then I have summed 2 circled number and gave the new amount to her with cash. She went back to me and no right no right. I was asking why and can you account it again? She took back the origin bill and print out a new one to instead. It says cash with 5%off. Why you did not give me that easy bill before? No right no right it is not enough!!!! I have gave whatever amount she wants and she took the money and i heard something like no money do not come. First we do not know how you account it and no one explain it. The bill was not clear she gave me first time. And that attitude is not acceptable! We are coming out for fun not for your attitude!
Had dinner 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.<br>they replenish often too so don'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 shellfish...clams baked and in black bean sauce, big shrimp options. 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. will go again!
Went for their dinner service. So much various food and everything was high quality. The kalbi ran out the quickest- they couldn’t keep up with the demand! So many different kinds of sushi and fresh seafood as well as other dishes. I loved their little baby stuffed mushrooms. Their frozen strawberry yogurt was the best dessert there.<br><br>Would come back!
One of the best buffets in Queens! Yummy sushi. The only thing that might be lacking is the dessert. The wait during father's day was an hour but I thought it was worth it.
The team was hyped for this experience. I am happy to say, we were not disappointed. From the moment all 43 of us arrived to the final picture taken we were warmly received and taken care of.<br><br>Everything was so clean and pretty. The lighting was perfect, nice to be able to see the food and the staff cooking and setting it out. Very courteous staff who responded to requests promptly and generously. Lovely music, playing at just the right level. We could hear each other speaking clearly.<br><br>The food was excellent. It was well prepared, more than enough and replenished often. We were stuffed to the gills!<br><br>I was so caught up, I didn't take as many pictures or the ones I really wanted to take. But you can get the idea from ones I have how happy we all were. There was so much more to eat. Kudos to Marc for the suggestion!<br><br>Thank you Terrance and the team at Mizumi, we will be back. Or at least my husband and I will, all the way from Jersey!!!
Our extended family comes here for celebrations all the time. We came today for Thanksgiving brunch. The servers are friendly and always help with impossible large group photos! The level of the food is ‘fine dining’ with a casual vibe. What impressed me the most are the creative offerings, hot and cold. Their salad bar is like a salad oasis! Check out my photos. If you’re on a diet, you’ll find refuge there! An elegant, pretty restaurant and great place to eat, party, and catch up with people.
We were hesitant to try this place because of the bad reviews, personally I had no issues. I was able to eat enough crab legs to my hearts desire and they have a great deal of options for food. Enjoyed this place and will be coming back for sure. If you get a drink and need refills just make sure to ask in case they forget you ordered a soda, they made sure to give me a refill when I asked first time around. Also we were not rushed at all and ate majority of the 90 minutes. Only thing I would say is my spouse said he has had fresher fish, but the variety of options made up for it. I went to check and didn’t see many empty entrees at the end. Loved the strawberry yogurt ice cream at the end. I was truly amazed by the amount and types of seafood offered. Also we went there when they first opened the doors for dinner, do recommend.
