Shin Minori Buffet: Price, Tiers & Is It Worth It (2026)
Order-to-table Japanese AYCE — lunch/dinner from $69.90++, high tea from $39.90++.
Worth it if order-to-table quality matters more than price. Shin Minori is à-la-carte all-you-can-eat — dishes arrive fresh from the kitchen rather than a warming line — but the full lunch/dinner buffet starts at $69.90++ ($49.90++ child), well above Kiseki ($30.90++) or Suki-Ya ($23.90++). The cheaper way in is the high-tea sitting from $39.90++. Premium tiers climb to $119.90++ for more seafood and wagyu. Go for the quality and the format; if price is the point, the cheaper Japanese buffets win.
You want order-to-table Japanese AYCE — dishes cooked fresh, not a self-serve line — and the format matters more than the price.
Price is the priority — Kiseki ($30.90++) or Suki-Ya ($23.90++) are far better value; if you're only curious, enter via the $39.90++ high tea.
| Sitting | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|
| High tea | from $39.90++ | — |
| Lunch / dinner (base) | $69.90++ | $49.90++ |
| Premium seafood tiers | up to $119.90++ | — |
Is Shin worth it? The math
The full lunch/dinner buffet at $69.90++ is about $83.20 nett per adult — more than double Kiseki's $30.90++ weekday lunch for a comparable AYCE Japanese format. What you pay for is order-to-table service and a wider à-la-carte range rather than a self-serve line. The high-tea sitting ($39.90++, ~$47.50 nett) is the cheaper entry. For raw quality-per-dollar, Kiseki or Suki-Ya are far better value; Shin Minori is the pick only if the à-la-carte format is what you want.
What's on the spread
- À-la-carte all-you-can-eat — sushi, sashimi, tempura, grills and hot dishes cooked to order.
- The base lunch/dinner tier ($69.90++) covers the core menu; higher tiers add more seafood and wagyu.
- A high-tea sitting (from $39.90++) is the cheapest way to try the format.
Make a beeline for
- A 220+ dish à-la-carte menu — the range is the draw.
- Fresh sashimi and sushi, including aburi (flame-seared) and inari.
- Assorted maki rolls, grilled onigiri and tempura.
- Nabemono (mini hotpot) cooked at your table.
Good to know
What diners actually say
Good-value Japanese where the first-round sashimi and grilled items are the draw, though the common complaint is orders getting lost or arriving slowly, with weaker quality on the later rounds against the time limit.
